I think that, at least in part, the problem some fans have with Flash is that he really is Mr Average. He doesn't have any enormous personality quirks or special talents beyond his military training (in the FiM universe) and music (in the EqG universe). He's a nopony really. I guess people are used to characters in the show to have some enormous obvious and glaring marketing point so an ordinary, everyday Pegasi guard leaves them uncertain how to react.

I guess that's why I like him, by the way. He is nopony special. That makes it all the more interesting to wonder what it would be like if he became tangled up in the affairs if the Great (like the Mane Six) like poor Sam in Lord of the Rings.
