Of course you can. I really can see how her inexistent pranking was getting out of hand, so it makes perfect sense to be annoyed about that excessive amount of absolutely nothing and want an episode to deal with it. Yep. Totally.

>>27824428
I think that they're actually trying to make her the second main character. That's why she got her own important subplot and there's so much official material about that lately. Ponies just suffer more in their own episodes. Dash a little more because less talented writers choose the easy way out.
B-but maybe this will be the anti-MMDW episode some of us have been waiting for and the "retaliation" will have some unexpected bad results and in the end they'll just kiss and make up.

What? Dash was bragging and it was THE problem. They did not.
>>
>>27824462
Dash was always an egoistic and arrogant cunt. There is no one in the DHX cast who ever favored her beside Ashleigh Ball. And she said that only because Dash is her character and was most popular at the time. Unlike Discord, she also don't have a reedeming charm to her since she "diss" Twilight and other "smarty pant" characters in a infantile manner instead using anything clever to really get under their skin like Discord does.

No they did, they began to brag to her about how 'awesome' the MMDW was and how better she was than her.

It has been almost 100 episodes since MMDW, redoing it wouldn't be the end of the world as the target audience that watched that ep is likely no longer watching or won't remember that we had this episode already.

I think episodes like the one where she fucks up entire Rainbow Factory along with the one where Wonderbolts punish her is also "dash abuse" episodes. Same with Rainbow Falls or Teesting Testing. She was only respected in episodes featuring Scootaloo.

Thing is the only pony who was thinking low of her was herself.

Someone just write her off already. That episode was already "Equestria Games anthem" Spike tier. Now it goes the Dash at your service episode where Rainbow will magically FORGET that she already concluded in Gilda epsiode that she would never prank Fluttershy, while at the same time Pinkie will also become the "better one" and moral support.

Is just stupid, they could have made Discord episode since it would make sense that he doesn't understand pony culture. Dash should already knot that after so many years, it will be another OOC momnets like when Applejack forgot how to work on farm.

Remember when Dash was all set to prank Fluttershy, and it was Pinkie who said no, pranking Fluttershy would be unkind.

It was a "be humble" lesson taught the wrong way.

You missed the point where her friends who were just annoyed by her actions, revel in her anguish. They didn't NEED to rub it in when she felt bad about it, they wanted to make her feel worse.

Always bugged me, isn't MMDW technically gaslighting? If you told an authority figure that multiple copies of the same person were following you and ruining everything you do you'd be detained for psychiatric observation. Given the spurious nature of psychiatry you probably would not be free to go for some time and would begin treatment for paranoid schizophrenia against your will as your every upset reaction to the situation made you seem more "dangerous".

I always kinda wanted to write an anti-MMDW fic where Dash ends up tangled in the broken and underfunded Equestrian criminal psych system, every aspect of her obnoxious but sane personality driving corrupt doctors and orderlies to intentionally prolong her confinement and use treatment as a paper-thin excuse for torture. Eventually she would be freed, sane technically, but with her spirit so thoroughly crushed and so riddled with PTSD from being raped by orderlies that she could no longer function as an element of harmony, breaking their covenant and leaving Equestria vulnerable to attack. Discord or someone shows up, is impossible for the other girls to oppose without the elements and slowly begins to torture Equestria itself into a warped image, just as Dash herself was. Dash, meanwhile, is found to have quietly committed suicide while the other girls were getting their asses kicked.

You wish. The show just needs more episodes like Gauntlet of Fire and Saddle Row Review. Those both did something new and people loved them.

And guess who Faust is on the record as saying she is more proud of and likes more! Hint it's not Rainbow Dash.

Newbie Dash at least edned up with "it was just a joke bro" while MMDW ended with Dash admiting failure after the episode full of abusing her.

I think he did mentioned one time that he likes Rarity at one of the cons

>>27826243

Rarity is indeed his favorite character yes, he's mentioned that at a few cons.

He also apparently really likes pairing Applejack with Rarity and Rainbow Dash so I wouldn't be surprised if the cart episode is written by him since it stars all 3 of them.
>>
>>27824752

So same as basically every season other than 3 (at least in regards to Dash episodes more often than not making her look bad)

Seriously most of the time in her episodes it's Dash fucking up horribly more than anyone else.

Just be glad this isn't anywhere near as bad for her as S2 where even outside of her focus episodes she was written 10 times more jerky than she usually is. And in her focus episodes she was pretty damn unlikable.

Congratulations Rainbow Dash, youre a new Spike!
>>
I don't know why people always think Rainbow Dash episodes make her look bad. It's just her character. She's immature, brash, slightly daft and has a huge ego, so she often gets into trouble. You can say that makes her look bad, but I think it makes her likable. The writers can get away with shitting on her, because at the end of the day she is still awesome. Spike on the other hand still isn't much more than Twilight's talking pet.
>>
>>27826304

Dash has honestly ALWAYS been the Spike of the Main 6 when it comes to her episodes, she has by far the most episodes out of any of the Main 6 which are strongly negatively recieved.
>>
>Abandoned Faust idea
>>
>>27826320

Because Dashfans suffer from the same insecurity complex Rarifags do and take any minor thing against their waifu as a massive insult and freak out if the show isn't like bending over to kiss the group she walks on.
>>
>>27826320
This, pretty much. The writers shit on her a lot because they can get away with it. They know that fans will still worship the ground she stands on regardless, because she's the 'cool tomboy.'
>>
>>27826339
As a Rarifag, I don't mind if Rarity does anything wrong in an episode. I don't expect her to be some perfect mary-sue who know everything.
It's just that other Rarifags can't take people saying horrible things about her because they've had to deal with it for years and they're sick of it.
>>
>>27826174
This.
>>
>>27826348

Im actually always amazed that Dash is as popular as she is, she has arguably the weakest track record of episodes of the Mane 6, she's easily the most flawed of them (Rarity used to be there too but she's developed out of most of her flaws) And she's not exactly 'relatable" to the majority of the fanbase in the way Twilight and Fluttershy are.

It really feels like it's almost all because she's "cool" and a tomboy.
>>
>>27826402
>And she's not exactly 'relatable" to the majority of the fanbase in the way Twilight and Fluttershy are.
To little girls or autists?
>>
>>27826432

Both.
>>
>>27826320
Discord was a literal villain and still is being an asshole yet he is more likable than Dash. It depend on the writing of "asshole" character. If she's full of herself but still act without a thought to protect Scootaloo, then it's a good depiction. If she's just doing bitchy comments and messes up everythign due to her selfishness, then its a shitty depiction.

>everyone forgetting RD also pulled pranks in Luna Eclipsed in addition to griffon the brush off

This isn't out of character for her at all.
>>
>>27826537

Yeah but that was S2 Rainbow Dash, where she was almost perptually unlikable.
>>
>>27826348

This, this is also why Rarity became a much less flawed character in S4 onward, they kinda found that the audience is much more willing to forgive the tom boy than the girly girl. It worked, Rarity is much more popular now than she used to be but you can definitely see how her episodes have shifted over time.
>>
>>27826537
>This isn't out of character for her at all.
Two episodes. Never mentioned again. That's the same number of episodes in which Fluttershy had her Flutterguy voice. Does that mean that an episode centered in the "excessive" amount of times she has a manly voice won't be OOC for Fluttershy?
>>
>>27826537
>that time Dainbow Rash wore a Shadowbolts uniform
taking bets: wow so edgy, or just plain stupid
>>
>>27826836
Like Flutterguy: bronybait
>>
>>27826402
Because there's just something kinda enjoyable about a jerk who never learns anything. Probably because it's realistic. It's why I like her so much. I hope she never changes.
>>
>>27826402
>she has arguably the weakest track record of episodes of the Mane 6
Nope, that belongs to AJ.
>she's easily the most flawed of them (
Also implying that's a bad thing. AJ is the least flawed and gain, one of the least popular.

Having flaws makes you more relatable. Dash is relatable for being that one out of the line of "everyone is friendly and adorab" that the shows sometimes has (especially with pinkie) and almost reminds of the previous gen. Doesn't strike with everyone but I can see the appeal.
>>
I can not believe the amount of wrong opinions ITT.

Watch the show and stop looking at mane six through prisms of their fans and may-mays.
>>
>>27827336

AJs episodes are frequently boring, but she has nothing as abjectly terrible as something like Mare-Do-Well or Rainbow Falls.
>>
>>27828519
Most of her episodes like Somepony to look after me, Leap of Faith, Bats, Simple Ways or recent Applejack day off were pretty crappy, too. In the last 3 seasons, Pinkie, had the least amount of shitty episode. Second place goes to Twilight and Fluttershy, then there is Rarity being watered down with many boring episodes these recent 2 seasons. Aj and Dash takes the bottom with Spike.
>>
>>27828577
Pretty much this.
Heck, the lowest episode in >>27825234 IS somepony to watch over me.
>>
>>27827422
This is good advice. It seems that most people here sincerely don't understand how twisted their view of the characters have become through their time here. Makes "show discussion" a real chore to sit through.

Feel like I'm the only that's gonna go into the episode without letting MMDW bog my expectations down.
>>
>>27828577

>Fluttershy episodes

>ever good

Aside from Flutter Brutter, their all the goddamn same thing.

Twilight also only had one truly good episode last season, and frankly Rarity is mostly fine, her only weak episodes last 2 seasons have been Made in Manehattan and Spice up Your Life.

And most of the episodes you listed are more boring that totally painful to watch, like Leap of Faith and Applejack's Day Off their more really boring than terrible (Somepony to watch Over me is more of an Apple Bloom episode than an Applejack one.)
>>
>>27829356

My expectations are low because it's a Dash episode not because of MMDW, it's like the inverse of how I go into Rarity episodes (with high excpetations)
>>
>>27828577

Other than Amending Fences what good Twilight episodes are you referring to?

Cause other than 2 parters she's really not gotten much in general since Season 4.
>>
Before reading this thread I thought the Spikefags and the Rarifags were the most overly defensive people in the fandom.

I was apparently wrong.

It was the Scootaloofags all along!

>>27828581
>the lowest episode in >>27825234 IS somepony to watch over me.
Can you not read the graph anon? the lowest episode happen in S5. Somepony to watch over me aired in S4, meaning it's part of the pink parts of the graph.
>>
>>27830017
Oh right, it WAS lowest a couple months ago and is second lowest, what about discord is now the lowest. I can understand the sentiment as I felt that episode was awkward with a weird pacing.
>>
>>27829508
Rarity? Mostly fine? She's been shit. Almost as boring as Mary-sue alicorn Twilight for most of her appearances.

>>
>>27826402

Dash has a big "Hit or miss" thing, in that her good episodes tend to be GREAT, while her "bad" episodes tend to be *really* bad.

So people tend to remember TT123 and sonic rainboom heavily due to them being really good, and the bad ones are SO bad they try to delete them from their mind due to just HOW bad they are.
>>
>>27830667

I never got why people like Sonic Rainboom so much honestly, Its good but Suited for Success, Party of One and such all blow it out of the water in the same season.
>>
>>27824342
Enough Rainbow Dash episodes already. Jesus fucking christ, most of them are cringy trash
>>
>>27829508
Do you mean Slice of life?
>>
>>27829593
She's just the worst in two parters.
>>
>>27829508
If we count Gala episode then it also count as her good episode. She's usually more entertaining when she's already assertive and doesn't make a whole episode about trying to be one.
>>
>>27824342
>Dash pranks the shit out of everyone
>Instead of telling her they don't like it, they secretly plot to do an epic prank on Dash
>Dash almost dies, and Tank gets hurt saving her

>"Sorry for making you guys almost kill me. I'll tone down the pranks from now on."
>>
>>27832172
At least that wouldn't be MMDW 2.0, but it still would be a bad episode.
>OOC Dash
>plainly psychopathic Mane 5
The premise is already flawed, so no matter how hard you try, you can't make a good episode with something like that. And I don't think the writers had even tried. Accept the inevitable and prepare for the worst.

>Gryphon the Brush off

Pinkie Pie: WHAT? [spits] Nononononono, we can't prank Fluttershy, I mean, she's so sensitive. It'll hurt her feelings, even our most harmless prank.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, you're right. [raspberry] Huh. We need another victim who's made of tougher stuff. So, who's it gonna be?


>actually nerver mind let's prank the shit out of Fluttershy

Bravo Rapp, Bravo Dusedau, Bravo Fox
>>
>>27832230
To be fair, Fluttershy's quite a bit less sensitive nowadays.
>>
>>27832278
You were just confirmed to not even watch "Scaremaster". She's still very sensitive about scary stuff or pranks.
>>
>>27832288
She's comfy in her usual spots, but she clearly showed herself able to handle it when she tried. She scared the britches off her friends with some really scary shit and found she didn't like it in the end. I think that episode she kind of got over her fright, but just still doesn't enjoy nightmare night.
>>
>>27829610
In order to be defensive one must get attacked a lot. This also says a lot about others.
>>
>>27824342

why prank her back, why not just stab her several times. that'll show that stupid bitch
