My rant about Rainbow Dash


Champion RD92

3,921 views

Something I've noticed is that the writers seem to be making Rainbow Dash more and more of a bitch as the show goes on. What happened to the good old Rainbow Dash from season 1 who was portrayed as a highly loyal friend, albeit maybe a bit cocky? Ever since season 2, Rainbow Dash's arrogance and rudeness has become increasingly higher (A prime example of this is in the episode "The Mysterious Mare Do Well"). I thought Rainbow Dash was supposed to have learned her lesson about being arrogant, but apparently she didn't. I also noticed in the new episodes that Rainbow Dash was being a complete bitch to the crystal ponies and it saddens me and also angers me that the writers have begun to portray my favorite character as a complete bitch, causing many people to hate her character. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Rainbow Dash would have never acted in such a bitchy way in Season 1. The worst she ever acted in the first season was maybe being a bit too competitive and a bit arrogant and cocky, but she was never as rude as she was in season 2 and now season 3. Basically what I'm saying is that in season 1, Rainbow Dash's character was portrayed in a much more positive light, and since season 2, she has just come off as being a bitch to everyone. I miss the old Dashie :(

Okay, maybe this is why I don't like "Dashie" so much. Fladerization, as TVTropes calls it: Take one character trait, and exaggerate over time until it is that character. It happens.

 

RD will surely get at least two episodes to herself. We'll see how she is then.

I don't find her bitchy at all. She just has a different way to deal with things than the others. A way that, I think, fits her personality perfectly. She acts before she thinks. Someone says, "We need to keep the crystal ponies away from this statue." And Dash says, "Okay" and immediately puts on her mean face.

 

As far as the Mare Do Well episode, take it with a grain of salt. It's a kids show that has to teach a lesson somehow. Dash is definitely going to be the focus if they want to talk about not being arrogant and over confident. Because, Dash can be arrogant and over confident. They simply used that episode to tell kids to not let it go to your head when you're good at something.

 

Just because she's a bit more abrasive than some of the others doesn't mean she's a bitch. That's just her way. I mean, really, it's a cartoon. Relax and enjoy.

Um...no.

well, that's the character that you like, accept her the way she is, actually I'm not impressed with the way she behaved on season 3 premiere, I expected this from her.

Well, I just smile and chuckle when ever she makes a witty comment. I don't really care how jerky she can be at times, because I know that when it comes down to it she really does care about her friends.

Oh, and you may flame me for this, but I think she was being a jerk in S1 too. Fall Weather Friends proves that--she's a liar and a cheat.

 

Sorry for being harsh about it, but it's my honest opinion.

That's true, but overall she was a lot less of a jerk in season 1.

Ponies will temporarily change their personalities to fit the plot. Everypony in that episode with Iron Will was unnecessarily mean to Fluttershy and they're not normally like that.

'Cause you're taking the first steps to ascension.

Take my hand, and embrace the purple pony!

Your ascension begins today, 92! It begins today!

Rainbow Dash is just being herself, and it is for kids too, so they need to learn something, the ponies can't be perfect.

Rainbow dash is really annoying sometimes like making fun of twilights interest, most of her episodes are really bad such as “testing, testing 123 28 pranks later, the mysterious mare do well, fall weather friends and more.” But she has had some good ones like “may the best pet win, and sonic rainboom.” Her personality i really annoying and she barley takes anything seriously, in the episode “testing testing 123” she had the audacity to blame it all on twilight because she couldn’t learn the wonderbolts history knowing it was very importet and in “fall weather friends” it just shows shes a cheating lil bitch, I personally can’t stand her
