So, we've all gone and watched FlamingoRich's biggest project, Double Rainboom, right? Everyone seems to have varying opinions on it, yet only mine matters, so sit down and shut up.

 

...

 

Nah, I'm only joking. I just wanted to let everyone know what I thought, because I know deep down inside, everyone cares about my opinion. No joke. So, let's begin.

 

CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD

 

Animation

 

So, the animation. Personally, I haven't seen many pony videos, but this was the best animation I've seen in terms of- well, everything pony. My favorite part of the visuals were the special effects(the Double Rainboom was beautiful sad.png ) Like I said, the animation was pretty good, yet it still wasn't completely show accurate. The example that keeps appearing in my mind is when Twilight says "Careful; it might be dangerous!" The way she moves her hoof during that clip doesn't look like anything the show would do; it looks like she's having a muscle spasm in slow motion.

 

Basically, the animation was decent, the special effects were amazing, but the ways the ponies moved weren't 100% show accurate. 23/30 points

 

Plot

 

What. The. Heck. This episode was supposed to be about how Rainbow Dash destroys Ponyville because of her amazing Double Rainboom! All of a sudden she's with the Powerpuff Girls? I mean, I have nothing against the PPG, but I never watched it. (Though from what I gathered from the episode, Bubbles is my favorite character, hands down)

 

Sure, I understand that this is a fan made episode, and references and memes are guaranteed, but an entire half of the episode is just about the PPG chasing Rainbow Dash around? That's lazy writing, and it seemed like it was nothing but filler content, just so they could make it half of an hour.

 

All in all, the plot was a mess of a tornado on crack and steroids. I thought they could do a better job here. 10/25 points

 

Music

 

The music was, to say the least, 100% amazing. Nothing less. Probably something more. I absolutely love the msuic. I have no complaints there whatsoever. 15/15 points

 

Other

 

Humor

 

Given that this was an entire episode created by the fandom, I expected a lot more that would make me laugh. There were two, maybe three scenes that even got a smile out of me. Scootaloo crashing into the chicken sign, Derpy Hooves and the pots, and the PPG's reactions to Rainbow Dash. (Bubbles :wubs: ) 7/10 points

 

Timing

 

I'm going to be honest, the timing in this episode was pretty bad. The entire time, scenes that should've taken a few seconds felt like they took minutes! The entire thing was dragged out. 3/10 points

 

Cast

 

There were what, four background ponies? And what happened to the other three of the Mane 6? There should've been more ponies, in my opinion. MOAR PONEES. 3/5 points

 

Feel

 

You know how MLP episodes give you that "Oh man, I can't wait to see what happens next! This episode is really good!"? Well, if not, that's how I feel, but this episode gave me none of that feeling. 2/5 points

 

Final Verdict:

63/100 Points

Rating: Okay
