Another Rainbow Dash focused episode from the looks of it.
There's actually an 'Official Rainbow Dash Fanclub' which is held in the Cutie Mark Crusader's clubhouse, with, no surprise here, Scootaloo as the chairpony.
Are there..are there retarded ponies? One looks to have 'runs with scissors' as his mark.
They argue over what to dub Rainbow, thinking 'awesome' isn't good enough, and Rainbow herself suggests "super-ultra-extreme-awesomazing" from outside the window.
Who makes all this Rainbow Dash stuff? They have fake wings, mane wings, banners, posters, headbands, shirts, hats. |
A cry for help interrupts Rainbow's 'sky swim' and she flies down into the Old Abandoned Well, rescues the little pony, then goes flying into the stratosphere.
Embarrassed by the crowd that somehow materialized out of nowhere, Rainbow downplays her feat and flies off. The Rainbow Dash fanclub ponies, including the two of questionable mental capacity, state that she's "Something special."
A baby carriage gets loose and careens down a road, which for some reason just ramps off a cliff.
Rainbow stops it just in time and another big crowd has gathered, including the two 'special' ponies. Hmm, they showed up after these two incidents. Perhaps they are trying to create chaos so Rainbow is forced to come save the day, letting them get close to her.
Rainbow psychs out the crowd by saying there is something wrong with the baby (the baby wasn't cheering for Rainbow Dash) then brings her to her mother. Ah hah! So without magic, the lower class ponies have to have cameras bolted onto their bodies. Ouch.
Bet you wish your parents were Unicorns, huh? |
"Far be it from me, but..." |
"Let's see Fluttershy do that!" |
Rainbow saves the day once again. Another massive crowd forms and starts cheering for Rainbow.
"Never fear, your friendly neighborhood Rainbow Dash is here!" |
Rainbow is entertaining a crowd with a recounting of her first feat of heroism, and Applejack, Twilight, and even Pinkie Pie are in agreement that Rainbow Dash is worse than Hitler.
Rainbow is so sure of her ability to continue saving the lives of ponies, that she has hired Spike to write her autobiography so that her time isn't wasted writing it herself.
Twilight and Applejack are, for whatever reason, not pleased that Rainbow is getting attention for saving people's lives.
Rainbow Dash may be dead before nightfall. |
As some poor pony plummets to her death in a hot air balloon, Rainbow decides to continue signing autographs.
The Mysterious Mare Do Well arrives and saves the ponies life. If she hadn't, she probably would have died or been seriously injured as it is shown Rainbow's belated attempt to save her would have failed.
Rainbow Dash's nemesis appears! |
"I don't know who the hell that is, but I hate them." |
"A mysterious mare that has done well by our fair city today. I dub this new masked hero 'The Mysterious Mare Do Well'" |
"Mare Do Well, huh? Well that mare would do well to stay outta my way!" |
Mare Do Well appears and stops the cart. Once again, it was headed towards a ramp over a cliff. The same road, or does Ponyville have a bunch of death trap roads to cull the unwary?
Rainbow can't believe Mare Do Well is stronger than her, and makes another threat.
"I can't believe it. Mare Do Well is stronger than me? Well, a hero is more than just muscle, and she's gonna learn that the hard way." |
As Mare Do Well appears and rushes into the mayhem, objects falling all around her, to save ponies, Rainbow cowers in the sky.
Seeing that a pony frozen in fear was about to get crushed, Rainbow flies into action and manages to save his life. The building they were working on completely collapses. He promptly faints or goes into cardiac arrest after having so many near-death experiences in such a short time frame and/or seeing all their work ruined.
Despite Rainbow only saving one pony, she begins to trash talk Mare Do Well. ("Or should I say, Mare Too Slow!") She is quickly put in her place by the ponies that Mare Do Well saved, which only sends Rainbow into raging further about Mare Do Well. Rainbow notes that Mare Do Well is strong, fast, and somehow knows what is going to happen ahead of time, and she needs to step up her game to combat this. Sounds like she'll be creating trouble then coming in to 'rescue' her victims?
While out on patrol, Rainbow somehow notices a dam is leaking and gets concerned. Ponyville flooder anyone? She tries to plug the leak, complains no pony is there to pat her on the back and goes to do it herself, and the whole thing gives way.
Rainbow may not be able to swim, or get out of water if her wings are soaked, as she just starts yelling for help while being swept away. She is rescued by Mare Do Well, much to her disgust.
Aww yeah, Unicorns! Proving the value of magic once more, Mare Do Well uses hers to repair the dam.
"I hate you SO much right now..." |
New use for magic: repairing buildings. Also, levitating mass amounts of rock. |
"It's not fair!" |
"Oh, for the love of pete." |
Rainbow's friends decide to praise Mare Do Well right in front of her, leading to more Rainbow rage.
"Stupid Mare Do Well, with your costumes, and your amazing abilities." |
"I'll have you all DEAD! Your families, DEAD! Your homes burned to the ground!" |
Undaunted, Rainbow sets off to find someone else in need of minimal help and spies a Unicorn trying to open a jar of peanut butter.
What? Magic can fully fix a dam but not open a jar?! |
"Give up yet?" |
"Don't look directly at her, but, is she gone yet? |
Rainbow continues to pester the unicorns, asking how amazing she was at opening the jar. As the Unicorn mother is about to deliver a soul-crushing insult, Rainbow spies a lawn mower and decides being a hero means doing grounds keeping.
A crowd has gathered once more for Rainbow's latest feat of heroism, except this time there is no cheering, just an echoing 'Lame.' and 'Whatever.'Aww.. Rainbow tries to boost her wavering self esteem, trying to figure out why they like Mare Do Well more, saying how she still has her sleek body, flowing mane, and spectacular hooves.
Rainbow's morale boost fails, and she states that she 'hates being all alone.' =[
"But... then... why am I all alone? I hate being all alone." |
Rainbow sees her fan club's leader and is perked up. Rainbow is invited to a 'thank you parade' for Mare Do Well, and descends into rage until some sinister thought crosses her mind.
Rainbow chases after the kids, deciding to go to the parade afterall.
Once again, who makes all this merchandise? |
She tries to bite Mare Do Well's face, but Mare Do Well quickly evades and runs off.
After being completely outclassed by Mare Do Well, Rainbow finally captures her and rips her mask off. Surprise! It's Pinkie Pie!
Another Mare Do Well approaches, revealing herself to be Twilight.
Then another, Applejack.
Somehow, they were able to conspire and use their unique talents to solve the various crises that developed. Pinkie Pie has something called 'Pinkie Sense' that lets her detect danger. Some pony was trying to kill Rainbow Dash but ended up missing thanks to Pinkie.
Even Fluttershy was involved, doing the flying Mare Do Well, and Rarity designed the costumes. Some friends, eh, Rainbow? Aww, Rainbow asks them, "Don't you want me to be a hero?" Twilight says of course they do, and Applejack adds, 'But a real hero doesn't brag!" Rainbow admits that maybe she was bragging a little.
Run, Rainbow! |
Rainbow decides to agree with them that a hero shouldn't be boastful about their deeds and needs grace and humility, and Twilight wants her to write to Princess Celestia. Spike says he's already wrote a letter for Rainbow, acting as her ghost writer. Since Rainbow is now back in their favor, the Mane 6 resume their mocking of Spike, terrorizing him, and Pinkie, about there being a ghost. They laugh as Spike and Pinkie run away in fear.
Twilight helpfully magics up the quill and parchment for Rainbow to write with, and the episode ends with her winking at the 'camera.'
I guess we now know how non-Unicorns write. That quill must be very rigid or that will be some sloppy writing. |
- Ponyville is a dangerous place, filled with runaway vehicles and roads that lead only to death.
- Rainbow Dash can't catch a break, when she tries to be helpful, her friends conspire to make her feel lower than dirt.
- If this was supposed to be Rainbow's/Mare Do Wells first appearances as 'heroes', who was saving the citizens from the untimely deaths beforehand?
- Following the above, will they continue to save people, yet do so with 'grace and humility' or just stop giving a damn and focusing on something else, letting the poor ponies deal with whatever calamity they happen to get involved in, even if it results in death.
