episode S07:E18 - Daring Done

[Moony the Cat 3,702]

Egyptian Ponys and Sphinx Ponys look really awesome! The rest of the Episode was okay. I dont really have much to say, i dont like Daring Do all that much, i dont like Pinkie Pie all that much and i also dont like Rainbow Dash all that much...

This episode has one big problem: The two leads are the most annoying of the mane six. Both Pinkie and Rainbow Dash are grating here. Pinkie for her voice and bad jokes. And Rainbow for how selfish she is. She only helps Daring Do because Daring Do retired thus not making books for Rainbow. Her actions don't really come out of wanting to help Daring Do because they're friends and more because she wants Daring Do to write more. This was a problem back in Daring Don't and it's still a problem here. 

The story itself isn't very good either. Rainbow, who is supposedly a super-fan of Daring Do, can't recognize Caballeron even though he doesn't even try to hide his voice. The parallel between the hope in the legend of Somnambula and Pinkie jumping into a vat of acid is really poorly presented. And the ending is rushed. The townspeople completely forgive Daring Do once she runs Caballeron out of town even though they had real reasons for hating Daring Do. Yeah, Daring Do makes up for her actions at the end, but that's after the townspeople celebrate Daring Do, carrying her and throwing her in the air. If there was a conversation about this between Daring Do running Caballeron out of town and the town celebrating Daring Do, maybe this wouldn't have been a problem.

There are a couple things I like, but they're pretty minor. Pinkie gets a few good bits here and there and the legend of Somnambula is decent. Unlike Campfire Tales, there's actually a story surrounding the legend so a simple legend works, compared to when the simple legends had to be the main things supporting the episode. Somnambula's legend isn't exactly great, but it's fine for what it is and it actually has context. But that's about it in terms of positives.

Score: 3/10

Good episode. This is maybe not the best Daring Doo episode, but I enjoyed it.  The character and story of Somnambula  intrigued my interest. Of course this is just her first name introduction before the final of this season.

i'm tired to see Rainbow Dash character getting worse each season, because the writers have no ideia how her personality works

i'm glady at least Applejack is getting back to her season 1-3 character.
