Here No Longer 5,281 October 31, 2019 #4 Share October 31, 2019 (edited) I hate: Fake It 'Til You Make It Hard to Say Anything 2, 4, 6 Greaaat Magical Mystery Cure Spike At Your Service The End in Friend And probably a good few more than I hate any of these, but of those 21 Pranks Later is probably the worst. I think Newbie Dash isn't really THAT bad (even if it's still most definitely a bad episode), and Mysterious Mare Do Well, although pretty bad, is not as bad as 21 Pranks Later.

Megas 27,875 October 31, 2019 #5 Share October 31, 2019 (edited) Newbie Dash for being the result of 5+ years of a build up of a major character arc. Now knowing how it was originally supposed to go, I hate it more. I refuse to believe anyone wrote out of good will or with the intent of making a good story, it feels like it was written by people who hated the show, it’s characters, and its audience Edited October 31, 2019 by Kiryu-Chan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepul-Coloratura 762 October 31, 2019 #6 Share October 31, 2019 (edited) Newbie Dash because it was the least fun episode of the three. Mysterious Mare Do Well started off spectacularly and kept me interested until right before the end, 28 Pranks Later was a fairly good episode for me. Newbie Dash did had elements that was hateable for many people, but it was also painfully predictable and uninteresting overall, and that's the most important thing to me when judging an episode.

JH24 385 October 31, 2019 #8 Share October 31, 2019 (edited) 28 Pranks later. Mean-spirited and a regression of Rainbow's character. Mysterious Mare Do Well comes close behind. I have a bit of a soft spot for Newbie Dash. There are issues with this episode but it addresses a character flaw of Rainbow Dash and nails how it's a problem.

Latecomer 440 October 31, 2019 #9 Share October 31, 2019 I think 28 Pranks Later was what MMDW should have been - which does make it a bit outdated for it's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrond 3,263 October 31, 2019 #11 Share October 31, 2019 (edited) "The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well" is the only one of these I really hate. I sort of enjoyed "28 Pranks Later" for what it was even considering its obvious flaws. It's not great but I laughed. I... want to like "Newbie Dash" more than I do, because I love how it's very clearly about Rainbow Dash overcompensating for her own insecurity, and I love how the episode completely changes the meaning of the "Rainbow Crash" nickname. I think that episode is way more sympathetic to her than people realize. But I don't have a counter-argument when people say the Wonderbolts should have stopped calling her that, and those impressions are unbearable. I kinda wish, once Spitfire explained the nicknames, she then offered to stop calling Rainbow that - and then Rainbow declined, because having that as her nickname means she proved the bullies wrong. But I wonder how much sense that would make. Edited October 31, 2019 by AlexanderThrond 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Qiviut 22,500 November 3, 2019 #22 Share November 3, 2019 Newbie Dash, and not just for being the show's biggest status-quo-changing failure. On its own, it's infuriating and anger-inducing. This entire episode is one gigantic Dash torture porn with one of the worst morals in the series.

Expand Reveal hidden contents That's a fair point, but I think they could've worked on that if Polsky was able to write it instead of Rapp. Instead of de-indivualization, make it how the rules shouldn't deter you from doing the right thing. In the proposal, she triggered the Rainboom by accident. Triggering it because she has to fly fast enough to save Scoot's life and calling out that warning may do better. 1 "Talent is a pursued interest." — Bob Ross Pro-Brony articles: 1/2/3/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misty Shadow 7,998 November 3, 2019 #23 Share November 3, 2019 I liked Newbie Dash. Mysterious Mare Do Well may not be very good, but it's way overhated. I picked 28 Pranks Later, since while it is overhated too, I feel I was a bit too easy on it in the past. Rainbow Dash causing a "zombie apocalypse"...with cookies. It can be the funny kind of dumb, but it's still dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
