Um... Not really. I can tell that that's what they were supposed to be, but seeing as how the main conflict in the episode was one that Fluttershy mainly put upon herself I can't really say that Cloudchaser and Flitter were the antagonists. They were just kind of... there.

They triggered Fluttershy's PTSD from childhood. And yes, teasing transferring over into a PTSD-like state is possible. I know someone who can get defensive if the word "crazy" is used and she is in earshot.

And as Pinkie said: NOPONY MAKES FLUTTERSHY CRY.

I'm guessing because they made Fluttershy cry. But really, in that case, Gilda should be the worst character in pony history.

I would agree if not for the fact that her fears were only exacerbated when they laughed. The show made it very clear that they were the only two present who weren't giving her unwavering support.

Yeah, but they caused her freak out. She was (mostly) fine up until they stared laughing at her.

Dang...if you got that agro over that scene...what in the world is Sentai going to do when he sees that? O_O

I think I ranted about this in TFW's Pony thread enough, so I'm gonna spare you my ravings.

But it expands beyond just making her cry.

Pretty weak antagonists if you ask me... Kind of makes me ask why they were even created because really anyone could've laughed at Fluttershy to make her go nuts.

Well, he didn't react about what happened to her in Gilda's episode, so who knows.

Ok...let me break it down for you guys.

In Matrix's mind:

Flitter and Cloudchaser = The entirety of Decade.

EDIT: I don't think he's there yet ShockerCon.

Was it a recent rant? I missed it the first time.
