S03:E07 - Wonderbolts Academy

[Hadrien 954]

The episode where Rainbow Dash learns that being the best at something shouldn't come at the detriment of the security and health of others. Lightning Dust or whatever was a pretty good foil to RD, almost the same as her, but in a more reckless and dangerous way, kind of an Unleashed RD. I like seeing the Wonderbolt academy, where RD will spend more and more time training to become a Wonderbolt. I dunno about the other recruits or what they did to deserve being picked for this, but I'm not Spitfire so who am I to judge.

Really fun, 6.5+0.5/10, bonus point for my Rainbow Girl.

I like that this episode shows Rainbow Dash being more verbal about taking care of one's teammates and not putting other people at risk. On the other hand, the faculty of the Wonderbolts academy did not have their house in order. Seemed like they were oblivious to Lightning Dust walking all over her fellow cadets or were maybe even turning a blind eye. After working for a shot at this for so long RD had to literally resign before they did anything about it. So I like how selfless and consistent with her good morals RD was, but it was nerve wracking that she almost had to give up an a dream that meant so much to her to do the right thing.
