Still would’ve preferred some typical Derpy cameos in a few episodes leading up to this. No hard feelings for the show staff, though; they’re doing the best they can.

Wah wah wah.

And what a lackluster return it was! She had no lines and they never even used her name. This shit is like feeding taking away someone’s cake, and then taking away the crumbs, and expecting them to worship you as their savior for giving back the crumbs.

 
 
P.S.:@Dashu.

I knew it.

My theories of Derpy being inside the mysterious box…..shattered!

@Ferrotter  
Less “killed her off” than “hushed her up”. Which is still annoying, but not as bad as eradicating her completely, I suppose.

Derpy’s been in a plotload of merchandise for years. Hasbro never killed her off.

Guys, I’m pretty sure that he is only talking about S4.

@Dr Outback  
I don’t remember any appearances in TMPP, but Magic Duel doesn’t count at all.

@Background Pony #0119  
she was also in Too many Pinkie Pies and Magic Duel

@Dr Outback  
One (tiny) appearance out of 13 episodes. For all intents and purposes, S3 was Derpy-free.

You sneaky little bastard! I freaking love you.

@Background Pony #0119  
That’s still season 3

@Mr. Horrible  
Say what you want, but Derpy was all over the place in S1. She didn’t have to have scripted appearances back then. S2 merely improved on a good thing.

@Dr Outback  
Says who? The only real appearance she made was in MMC, and she was so well-hidden she may as well have been invisible.

@JP  
By ‘good ol’ days’ do you mean the days where 3/4 of season 1 was already finished and aired before the production team even realized that bronies had made Derpy into a thing?

You guys know she was in season 3 right?

@rafasilva  
I’m pretty sure she’s just talking about Season 4. They’re probably not going to say much about why she didn’t show up in S3.

I find BigJim questionable.

LOL DOOMSAYERS

Stop being so negative.
 
She is back. And that is what we wanted, isn’t it.

@Background Pony #3179  
That was a seson of 13 episodes.

Yeah a surprise.  
It’s kind of hard to be surprised when the Meghan McCarthy Hype Train rolls into the station at full speed.

If you mean about this season, I guess it was a smart choice.

Go ahead
