NavelColt 22,879 October 11, 2012 Share October 11, 2012 (edited) https://mlpforums.com/calendar/event/112-%7B%3F%7D/?module=events Title: DragonshyAir Date: November 26, 2010Synopsis: Fluttershy must convince a sleeping dragon to move out of town before the plume of black smoke it's producing covers all of Equestria!A rather good episode, I thought. The element of adventure, a fire breathing dragon, and plenty of cuteness from all the characters. I'd be lying if I didn't say Dashie cutely bouncing her ball on her head wasn't a highlight of this episode, for me <3 Edited May 28, 2014 by DashForever 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarity 3,094 October 11, 2012 Share October 11, 2012 Now c'mon, AJ helping Fluttershy around the mountain is one of the most awesome kindness shown! That's my highlight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starshine 16,333 October 11, 2012 Share October 11, 2012 (edited) Obligatory Dovashy Just gotta say it here, I lost my drink when Fluttershy came out from behind that rock and start teaching some manner to that dragon Oh, and Fluttershy being afraid of her own shadow E: the gif derped, my bad :< Edited October 11, 2012 by Star Weaver 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batbrony 16,054 October 12, 2012 Share October 12, 2012 Oh yes, this episode is still definitely in my top 10 favorite episodes list, and might be my favorite Fluttershy episode (although it's a close contest between this one and "Hurricane Fluttershy"). Fluttershy completely owning that dragon is possibly the best Fluttershy moment I've ever seen!!!! But I'll say this right off the bat, until Fluttershy schooled that dragon, I was getting really ticked off at her!!!! I'm serious, she was cowardly to a fault up until that point, at least I thought so. I did appreciate how her fear did give her friends the chance to show themselves being so supportive of her ( http://mlpforums.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png well, most of them... I'm looking at you RD, but it's OK, because you've since become more patient as a friend, as "Hurricane Fluttershy" showed us); Applejack going out of her way to go completely around the mountain with Fluttershy was particularly touching, and has really stuck with me especially as one of AJ's best moments as a friend. Overall though, whatever fear she displayed for most of the episode, Fluttershy completely made up for it and then some with her amazing lecture to that dragon at the end! That, along with the fact that this is a very funny and epic episode, make this one of my top 10 episodes of the show so far! "You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me, set the dogs on me. Because that's what needs to happen. Because sometimes... cupcakes aren't good enough. Sometimes ponies deserve more. Sometimes ponies deserve to have their faith rewarded... with muffins!!!" -The Muffin Mare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomuraBL 851 October 13, 2012 Share October 13, 2012 I think this is the episode where I started reconsidering having RD as my favorite pony. The thing is, it seemed like RD was too much of a jerk in this episode. :/ Though, it was a great episode regardless. Even if I don't like fluttershy that much. Pinkie was most likely the highlight of this episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Fluttershy 1,844 October 14, 2012 Share October 14, 2012 This episode was great. Not only was the mane character of this episode Fluttershy, but it was the first time we got to see Fluttershy's badass side! It was the start of something great.

Dusk Lunar-Blaze 17 October 14, 2012 Share October 14, 2012 I love it. Easter Morning, my lil sis was watching it. I was like "Really? Lindsay, why are you watching this horrible show" And she just did what little sisters do: Wine like a bitch. THen she watched more and more, and Pinkie and RD started appealing to me, and then I found out about the Fandom, then S 2 came out on netflix. Anyone up for a romance RP?

pinkiefan1287 610 October 14, 2012 Share October 14, 2012 This is one of my top favorite season 1 episodes. It was Fluttershys first character episode and it showed that she can be tuff. Also it had a dragon in it. How cool is that? Made by Gone ϟ Airbourne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeboy 418 October 18, 2012 Share October 18, 2012 Oh wow. This is my favorite episode of the whole show. It's why Fluttershy is my favorite mane 6 pony. I could watch that scene where she calls out the dragon over and over and over again, and it would still be as amazing as it was the first time. Oh and this. 3 I've got a story that money just can't buy. ALBUM OF THE WEEK: The Knife - Shaking the Habitual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket_Rainboom6 8 November 7, 2012 Share November 7, 2012 Dragonshy, hilarious at the end where Fluttershy talked to that dragon that way. I never knew she even had the guts!

TheGreatandPowerfulZecora 16 January 29, 2013 Share January 29, 2013 Rainbow Dash was bouncing a very similar looking ball to the emergency balls Pinky has placed around the town, for "ball emergencies" and near the same place that she stashed one..... just a random observement. I would also like to note that this episode and most of the other fluttershy episodes are always my favs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hottemaxx 2 February 28, 2013 Share February 28, 2013 Fluttershy was really awesome in this episode. not only did she overcome her fear of dragnons but she talked him into the ground. That was just cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttonmash1973 1,026 March 3, 2013 Share March 3, 2013 How things changed since S1. What S4 needs is more Fluttershy and AJ together just like here and in Keep Calm and Flutter On. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ponyville Critic 304 March 17, 2013 Share March 17, 2013 (edited) Not to sound cynical, but something that i feel this episode teaches people is that pressuring your friends into doing something they're scared to do is ok. Again, no cynicism intended. I know it was intended for Fluttershy to be soft-spoken but i just think it seems sort of harsh for everyone to ignore Fluttershy nearly all the time.

Pony Of The Month 534 April 3, 2013 Share April 3, 2013 This is the episode that convinced me that I'm a brony. I was almost going to give up after watching Boast Busters, but I saw the title of this episode, and immediately watched it. I have been a brony ever since.

True Rarity 1,240 April 21, 2013 Share April 21, 2013 The most awesome Fluttershy episode so far! I absolutely loved it! "That's it! We've tried persuasion - charm - whatever it is Pinkie Pie does..." ~Rainbow Dash My deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebobmaster 31 April 22, 2013 Share April 22, 2013 I love this episode. Out of the 11 I've reviewed thus far (though I only have 4 of those reviewed up on my sig's blog site), this is the only one that has managed to get a 9/10, and I was so close to giving it a 9.5/10. Unfortunately, Rainbow Dash's treatment of Fluttershy throughout the whole episode knocked it down a bit, as it was really jarring, even for Rainbow Dash, to show that much contempt towards her supposed friends, especially after the events of "Griffon the Brush-Off".

Davoo 8 April 24, 2013 Share April 24, 2013 I love that montage near the beginning where the mane six are at their homes getting ready. If Dash's color-coded "sky mark" she leaves behind her flight trail wasn't enough to convince you that this show is heavily influenced by the Powerpuff Girls (not to mention how some of the same people are involved in it), that scene should leave no more doubt. This episode is a decent example of one thing I find to be kind of annoying in FiM--and it's something that seemed to mostly be a problem in the first season--the characters being cast for the job awkwardly. Like, out of all the ponies in Equestria to deal with this dragon, why are only these six the ones for the job? But this isn't the best case, just wait a few episodes and we'll get to one. It's still always so great to watch how this show can very realistically take a break from its pressing plot matters and have a scene or two with just the characters talking about irrelevant stuff. Animated characters don't get any more natural and realistic-feeling. It actually really reminds me of South Park. Thispisode (one word) also seems to have set out the goal of demonstrating how five of the characters react to the shortcomings of the sixth. >Dash is completely impatient and unapproving >AJ is trying to be supportive and compromising; working around Fluttershy's feeble psyche, or warmly encouraging her >Twilight is roughly inbetween Rainbow and AJ >Rarity seems to be mostly--and Pinkie seems to be completely--impartial to it. They see what Flutters is doing, but don't seem to mind very much, they're more preoccupied with generally having a good time with their friends on the hike One last thing; I always felt that Fluttershy's speech at the end was the slightest bit awkward. I dunno exactly why, but something about it always makes me cringe just a liiiiittle bit. Maybe it's too abrupt, undramatic, disjointed and realistic? Well I guess that was the point, so you got me there. I love this episode. Out of the 11 I've reviewed thus far (though I only have 4 of those reviewed up on my sig's blog site), this is the only one that has managed to get a 9/10, and I was so close to giving it a 9.5/10. Unfortunately, Rainbow Dash's treatment of Fluttershy throughout the whole episode knocked it down a bit, as it was really jarring, even for Rainbow Dash, to show that much contempt towards her supposed friends, especially after the events of "Griffon the Brush-Off". I think Dash was pretty tolerant for the most part. She seemed to be the most focused on the mission, uttering the smallest amount of 'casual talk' in the episode; here they were trying to save Equestria, and Fluttershy was being an incredibly tough burden. But, after getting annoyed and face-palming, and trying her best to help Flutters up the cliff, she quickly resigns to herself and waits. She's not being as patient as AJ and Twilight, but she's not getting mad or really protesting. And toward the end, she asks, "Are you still sure it was a good idea to bring Fluttershy along with us?" Which is a great, legitimate question, because it's obvious Fluttershy doesn't want to be there, so wouldn't it have been best to leave her behind if she was going to stiffen up the whole way up? But still, she went along with the program and continued to try to work with Flutters for the rest of that scene. So again I really don't think Dash's attitude in this episode was anywhere near 'contempt', it was just the exact same skepticism and frustration that Twilight and Applejack had, and she was simply being more upfront about it.

~PrincessLuna~ 53 May 5, 2013 Share May 5, 2013 Lol! I have to say this was the best episode of season 1!! I got yelled at for being so loud!! I was dieing when Pinkie Pie went in with her outfit, When Fluttershy went off of the dragon was priceless and this : "but the rainbow one kicked me" .... Has to be the best season 1 episode (: Heyaa there! I hope you enjoy your stay at the forums! *Thanks to Doctor-Whooves for this picture (: ~Lunaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygen 6,066 May 5, 2013 Share May 5, 2013 I enjoyed this episode very much I must say. I mean first of all it has my favorite pony as the focus, and she's so adorably shy in this episode. And then she just goes off on that dragon and shows you don't mess with shy people . not to mention I just love the majority of little stuff in this episode.

painovoimaton 8 July 25, 2013 Share July 25, 2013 A random ass theory about Fluttershy's dragon phobia and missing parents and other relatives: Maybe, when she was a filly her town was destroyed by a dragon? And her parents died or Fluttershy got separated from them? Maybe she is too scared to talk about it. I don't know, just a simple theory from a simple-minded person. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubWolf 17,261 August 11, 2013 Share August 11, 2013 Episodes like these make me wonder if Fluttershy ever considers changing her name to something else . I feel like her character is a bit forced by the writers by confronting the dragon. I'm sure if I saw a dragon hurt my friends, I'd probably run away instead o.O.. then again, Fluttershy has her limits.

Radiance64 7,053 September 13, 2013 Share September 13, 2013 I can't really think of anything bad to say about this episode, besides maybe Rarity's random product placement(oh please tell me I brought the tiara that goes with this...), but other than that this episode is pretty awesome, a really cool adventure between the Mane 6 early in their friendship. The focus may have been on Fluttershy, but everypony had good and memorable moments in this one, one of season 1's best no doubt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
