Given your initial impression of Maud, I'm sure you'll be delighted to know that she has the occasional reappearance, and she steals the show each time.
Maid's strength is definitely just beyond Earth Pony strength, growing up on a rock farm which is like a mix of a quarry and a mine, Maud would probably be ripped if most ponies didn't share the same model.
When you get to know Maud better and realize that every time you laugh during this episode, it's a deliberate joke by Maud, you finally get how awesome Maud really is. Let's take the dish cloth with Rarity for example. Rarity even points out that Maud is being funny. Then Maud asks "What do you mean?". Since Maud's delivery is so dead-pan (which is the corner stone [see, what I did there?] of her humor) Rarity misunderstood Maud and thought Maud was being serious. If Maud had asked the question in a sarcastic tone, it would have been very clear to anyone that she's joking. Of course, if Maud would have said "I'm just joking." after Rarity thinks she's being serious, it would have embarrassed Rarity so, instead of coming out and saying she's joking Maud keeps going with the joke even though she herself is the butt of the joke now, because she doesn't want to embarrass Rarity. Yeah, that's how awesome Maud is!
@Narrator007 I’m very positive cutie marks have nothing to do with an earth pony’s strength. Case in point, the iron pony competition. In a clip where Dash and Jack was supposed to kick the bell thing to see whose bell goes higher, Applejack wins by a HUGE margin. The bell object literally flew a few meters even after its maximum height, whilst Rainbow’s bell simply hit its maximum height. If what you’re saying is true about one’s physical prowess being amplified by their cutie marks, then Applejack would’ve lost in that very clip as her cutie mark is an apple, meaning that it would only amplify her strength with apples and apples trees, but that’s completely false. This is simply Maud’s true strength. Say whatever you want, but my point stands firm in place. Now you draw, partner.
@Average Homura Defenderexactly, when people think of Unicorns, the usually think of Twilight and Starlight. But the thing people keeps forgetting this that your average unicorn can’t do any of the things Starlight and Twilight can do. Some probably can’t even levitate a broom.
lyra heartstrings, fucking lyra got into celestia’s school for gifted unicorns (amending fences) if she’s considered gifted then what is the average unicorn
I always loved seeing the mane 6's families. A thing I like about this show is that when you look at their families and the environments they were raised in, it starts to really make sense how they turned out the way they did.
@cfruge444 With extreme families it’s common to have different siblings be either extremely similar to the parents or extremely the opposite of how their parents are. My mom’s sister is very similar to her mom while my mom herself is intentionally the polar opposite of her mom.
14:14 "What kind of godlike power do you have?!" Maud's special talent has to do with rocks, according to the cutie mark which could be seen under her frock momentarily when she was up on the mountain saving Pinkie.
That moment right at the end when you figure out, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Maud has the biggest heart of gold, and full of love, whatever her outward expression is.
There are few more powerful "Don't judge a book by its cover" moments than this.
Enter Maud Pie, another interesting character of the show. I thought that it was a cool connection to see Pinkie’s third sister from that picture of Pinkie’s first party (shown during “Pinkie Pride”) that dates back to the event shown in “The Cutie Mark Chronicles.” My first impression of her was kinda flat, due to her personality. That feeling didn’t last long though as I grew to like her over time, she’s a cool character.
What I love is not the character herself, but everypony else's reactions to her. If Maud acted that way and nopony else treated it as anything unusual, I think her character fall flat.
16:57 - actually, there IS a less complicated ship name for all of the Mane Six being romantic/sexual partners with each other: "omniship", as it appears on Derpibooru.
Okay, so a typical sandstone boulder that size weighs in around 150 pounds per cubic foot, giving us a total estimate of up to 76,000 pounds, and Maud just attacked it with the force of a jackhammer, which is around 5700 PSI, and since it only takes 15 PSI to shatter a human skull it’s safe to say that Maud could literally punch a hole through someone’s head!
01:25 Yeah, she's cooking crystal meth :) 01:34 See? Told ya :) 04:00 Well, sugar is sucrose, which forms crystals, and crystals are kind of rocks, so I guess it makes sense? :q 05:45 Is she even real? ;> 06:15 Meet Maud: the embodiment of autism :J 10:10 Nope, she's just not giving that much of a F about everything ;J 18:02 Nope. The first rule of Magic: you can use it only if it's not relevant to the plot :J 20:20 Yeah, and how did you come here faster than the train? :q
Just so you know Maude Pie made her first non speaking appearance in season 1 when the ponies was telling the story how they got the cutie mark thanks to Rainbow Dash and Maude was a young Pony in Pinkie Pie story. And Pinky's slide fun thing is a homage to Double Dare game show that was on Nickelodeon!
If you like maud I can think of a character from another show you might like. The title character of the show "Daria". SHe's just as deadpan as Maud but has a biting sarcastic wit. The show ran for 5 seasons back on MTV and had two movies set after the 4th and fifth seasons respectively. A sample of some of Daria's dialog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs9JZLJR-iE
1:26 Just a little mistake Hasbro did... again 🤣, when Pinkie began throwing her friends in the store, they put Rarity's voice on Fluttershy and viceversa. xD
8:13 it doesn’t matter how many times I see it it’s always hilarious to see that the sandwich Maud put Boulder next to is completely gone.

Not all of them. I believe Maud's natural strength is amplified by her special talent when she is dealing with rocks.
