Pinky Pie 71 August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 Hi everypony! I think I'm not the only pony around here who loves sonic rainbooms, am I ? And the lack of sonic rainboom in season 4 made me really sad (Except that thing Twilgiht did in the season premiere. I don't know what the hell was that, but I think and hope it wasn't a sonic rainboom ) So far we got 3 sonic rainbooms... Which is simply not enough I hope we will see at least one more awesome sonic rainboom in season 5. So what do you think my brony/pegasister friends? Do you wanna see moar boom? Aaaaand here is another question if your answer was yes: Do you wanna see a sonic rainboom from another pony? For example Lightning Dust returns and makes a Sonic Rainboom to prove that she is as good as Rainbow Dash? Or a sonic rainboom from Scootaloo after she learns flying? I would be more than happy to see some awesome sonic rainbooms from other ponies (Especially from the ones I've just said). But... What about you? And a last question that has just come to my mind: Would you want Double Rainboom to be cannon? (My answer is simply yes ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastel 7,630 August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 (edited) Did you count this one? Yes! I'd love to see more Sonic Rainbooms! It would be either from Rainbow Dash, or a new rival, but not from a character we already know. (And certainly not Scootaloo!!! ) I don't really like Lightning Dust, but that could work...I guess.... And no, no Double Rainboom. Edited August 16, 2014 by Blobulle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,884 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 Hmmm ... I have to disagree a little. Sonic Rainbooms are rare. At present we've seen it four times, right? I don't want the show to overuse it or it may lose that cool factor when you see it. I also don't want anyone but Dash doing it. It is one of the aspects that makes her special. Though if LD did pull it off ... I admit the character development potential is staggering. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostfacekiller39 23,879 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 Dear god, no. They're pretty, but I dislike them for the same reason I'm not a fan of Twilicorn - they make the character OP in compared to the rest. Whole reason I dislike "The Cutie Mark Chronicles" is that they used the Sonic Rainboom to give Dash such an overpowered role that allowed her to help determine the fates of all of the mane 6 just because she could break the color barrier, which I dislike in the first place because it places emphasis on one character's talent in a way that makes the others look like they're of lesser importance in terms of the show's canon. I don't like that and I don't like anything that the Sonic Rainboom stands for, and I hope it doesn't appear again - ultimately, it's only damaging to the quality of the show in my eyes by abandoning the whole meaning of the show, that being friendship, in order to give one character some sort of over-powered and cool moment. Even if they weren't handled in such a shitty way in the past, I'd still be against them shoehorning one in there every season. Quality over quantity, man - I'd rather their be one in a time that calls for it/makes sense than just done for the ratings. Even though they have been good in that aspect of handling the concept, I don't think they're able to do it in a way that isn't making the others look like plebeian ponies by comparison, so no.

Pinkamena-Pills 6,840 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 (edited) Give me more Sonic Rainbooms,idc if they are 'rare'. Hell Super Saiyans were suppose to be 'rare'... And look where that went. Not to mention RD can do it apparently whenever she feels like it now anyways. As far as other ponies doing it: I don't see the issue with this. As far as Double Rainboom: Its fan made so no.

Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,306 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 This is in a spoiler because it's actually a spoiler if you plan to read the comics: If you consider the comics canon, then the Double Sonic Rainboom IS canon; RD performed one in a comic devoted to her that ended up in volume one of "Pony Tales." And yes, more Sonic Rainbooms. Buuuut, I only want RD performing them. After all, there's no reason to believe that a similar feat accomplished by another pony would be as colorful / flashy (thus not even really fitting the name of the manuever - combo of "rainbow" and "boom" - I assume was the intent), and it's RD's big signature move that nopony else has ever performed. No I don't want Scoots to suddenly be able to fly and turn around and perform a Sonic Scootaboom lol. Really?? "Wow thanks Rainbow Dash for helping me finally get off the ground for more than five secon- OMG I DID A SONIC SOMETHING-BOOM! I couldn't fly last season and LOOKIT ME NOW!" And I hope the Sonic Rainboom is weaponized by RD for use against an upcoming villain. "It uses the faculty of what you call imagination. But that does not mean making things up.

Pinkamena-Pills 6,840 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 @,As far as other ponies doing a sonic rainboom like move,im not really against seeing another pony do a sonic rainboom equivalent as long as i feel its within the realm of reasonable possibility within the flying ability of the pony in question.(like Lightning Dust or Perhaps Spitfire) And I admit..i do want to see Lightning Dust do a 'Sonic Lightning Burst'(or w/e it would be called) for lol's.

Might as well let everyone have one, then lol. Pinkie does a Sonic Pinkboom - without wings! Just like how she blasted off into the air out of joy. Only have it end in a ring of pink confetti. Spike tries to impress Rarity with a Sonic Spikeboom in the shape of a heart. 1 "It uses the faculty of what you call imagination. But that does not mean making things up.

Indeed,then Applejack can do a 'Sonic Apple Blast',Fluttershy can so a 'Sonic Flutter Shyhyperboom' and Celestia can do a 'Sonic Sunburst x10' and destroy the sun and the show ends on the grounds that the writers have clearly gone insane. I would personally enjoy it tho. 2 Oatmeal, are you crazy?! "Silly, you are already under my control."- Pinkie Pie Signature made by me, because resistance truly is futile, silly.

Zygen 6,066 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 Eh, Idk, I personally don't mind it not being to common, I mean if it was common, it loses all it's impact. In most cases it isn't that useful even, just flashy ;p. So, idk, honestly I don't know if i'd want more than like 1 in season 5. If any. I'm not really dieing for it, sure they look cool, but again, if there are to many, it loses it's impact. Also, I don't know if I'd want to have any other ponies do it, it wouldn't be logical for scootaloo considering her and flying. Lightning Dust I suppose could do one, if any pony we've seen so far would do one, I think it'd be her, but idk if I want even her doing one. And for double rainbooms, it would be kinda weird in cannon, actually I don't think it would work out very well with the cannon. I just can't see it working out that well. I don't mind them, they're cool, but too much of a good thing is bad. Thanks to Gone Airbourne for the awesome sig!

Megas 28,137 August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 Having almost anyone other than Rainbow Dash do it would take away it's specialness. It was a problem that hurt Super Saiyans as someone pointed out(at least with Goten and Kid Trunks, I was perfectly fine with Vegeta, Future Trunks and Gohan learning it) I wouldn't mind seeing it again, but not too often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, no Double Rainboom. Sorry but I don't count that Because... You know, it must be a boom and then a rainbow, not only an epic and as cool as possible boom And I know it is special because it is rare, but I guess just another rainboom in season 5 wouldn't ruin its rarity ( ), would it? Pinkie does a Sonic Pinkboom - without wings! Just like how she blasted off into the air out of joy. Hey I actually liked that idea Because... You know, she is Pinkie Pie. Do not question her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
