I want to make a legit topic (unlike this one) about why I seriously think RD is getting too much screentime.

 

Unlike Applejack, Rainbow Dash got plenty of attention in both Season 1 and 2. Many people who defended AJ in the topic above gave a reasonable answer as to why they disagree. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for Rainbow Dash.

 

After all, she had star moments in just about any episode she appeared in.

 

Likewise Applejack, Rainbow Dash had two spotlight-heavy episodes in a row in Season 3. However, I see nobody, nobody whatsoever complain that RD had too much screentime. And yet...AJ? It's, frankly, ridiculous. I know that Rainbow Dash is very popular, and thus has a lot of fans, who have no problem, not at all, about her getting that much attention. After all, it's your favorite pony. No problem whatsoever.

 

Which is why I'm ready to turn the tides at this point forward.

 

In the newest episode, she had the most lines of the mane six except Fluttershy (who's the star of the episode) and I cannot understand why Rarity's, RD's, and Twi's lines could be split evenly among all of the mane six, especially Pinkie and AJ (who had...one line). She got more dialogue than necessary in an episode that was not even hers.

 

Season three had two RD-heavy episodes, Sleepless in Ponyville and Wonderbolts Academy.

 

I'm interested to see all your thoughts on this, because I don't think saying "RD gets no attention in S1 and S2" is a legit excuse, unlike for Applejack.
