Would a Super Rainbow Dash be stupid?

It's really a guilty pleasure of mine. But do you think if Hasbro gave RD a super form would you quit watching the show? I just think RD has borrowed so much from sonic that a super RD wouldn't be a bad idea. If they used it correctly. Maybe have RD's Loyalty element be used as a super power.

 

I mean she would be x100 times faster and who wouldn't want her to be faster

 

 

Rainbow Dash can turn white and her mane can be like Celestia's except in rainbow form

Yes, that's a bad idea. That would be outright acceptance on Hasbro's part that they borrowed elements of her character from Sonic's. I'm sure they simply happen to be similar characters, but a Super Rainbow Dash would be like Hasbro publicly announcing "We didn't really invent all of Rainbow Dash ourselves!"

 

I wouldn't quit watching the show, but I would be shaking my head.

Honestly, yes I think it would a little bit. I mean, what would the point be? I mean, then there'd be two ponies that would be better than the rest of the Mane 6.

It's a bad-ass concept, and I love to see art and such of it, but it wouldn't fit into the show very well because it'd be cliche and whatnot. Dash would then get further biased hate that she doesn't need. Nope.

No, I think thats a bad idea honestly, and I really am kinda a fan of the super form type things on ocations.

 

However it would make her feel like Sonic, plus it would make her way unbalanced from the rest of the mane 6, so much that it would mean they'd have to give all the other mane 6 some type of "supermode"

 

It just doesn't really make sense to me, I think the Sonic Rainboom is enough of a special thing for her. Anything else would probably ruin her for me.

We already have a risk of Twilight Sparkle my second favorite pony becoming a Mary Sue if they botch the whole alicorn thing (you know make it too soon) I really don't want another risk like that taken with Rainbow Dash. Having some power ups for each of them however might work.

This would be silly and stupid unless we're going for a Power Rangers-esque show where upgraded powers are de rigeur every half-season or so. The Ponies don't need ridiculous superpowers as is.

I always thought Super Rainbow Dash was a cool idea, but I would not like it if they made it canon on the show. It would sorta ruin the novelty of it being a fanmade idea

Rainbow Dash is already very similar—in appearance, personality, and abilities—to Sonic.

 

Scootaloo is also very similar—in appearance, personality, and relationship with their respective heroes—to pre-character development Tails.

 

While part of me would almost want them to go ahead with "Super Rainbow Dash" just for the complete hell of it, I think that increasing the similarities between the two series is the absolute last thing they should do.

I'm seeing waaaayyy too much Dragonball Z here lol

Its funny to see, but it would be a terrible idea... even though I'm now trying to visualise a super pinkie pie.

I don't think we need a super transformation >.< That's just ripping off DBZ and Sonic series. Plus I don't think she'd need a 'super form'  since she's fast enough by herself, although I like the look of her new transformation it's just not happening and it feels more of a fan fic then putting it in the actual show.

Sorry, nut you can't give one of the main characters a super power unless it's THE main character, and even then, it would render the Elements of Harmony useless. It'd be cool to see in a dream of Rainbow Dash's though.

I agree with Discord here, Super Rainbow Dash is awesome, but it wouldn't fit the show at all. She should stay fanon. And giving the main characters super powers wouldn't only damage the show a bit, it would also inevitably go into a downward spiral wherein the Mane 6 would keep getting "stronger and stronger" so the enemies have to keep becoming more ridiculous and over-the-top, AKA that's where Dragonball Z went wrong.

Hello!

 

*Sarcasm* Oh this is just what we need now that Alicorn twilight is canon!

 

But really, definately, would not approve. It may be cool, awesome looking/sounding, but the show can definately live withouth this :P

Alright, unlike some forums out there, I'm apparently allowed to necro-post here, so...yeah.

 

Hmm, I was wondering what serious forum people thought of my creation here, other than the massive likes on YouTube and the 3k faves on DA. Yes, though TehJadeh was the one who did the animation, it was I who created Super Dash in the first place.

 

And my reaction to this topic and the replies in it? Well, how surprising...and yet its not so surprising at the same time. Surprising, that even though I've been trying to move her further away from Sonic by recharacterizing her so that she transforms through the Elements of Harmony, people STILL get reminded of Sonic regardless. Unsurprising, in that I've seen the very same things about Super Klonoa a few years back: that canonically giving him a Super form would ruin him, make him too much like Sonic, etc.

 

Well, while I obviously disagree with most of them, I have to say that I know that not everyone's going to like something at once, even if its something massively popular, and as such, I respect the opinions of those who posted here.

 

Well, then, good day. =)

I think they took the idea off Dragonball Z, about being Super Saiyan, resulting in Super Rainbow Dash.

 

Anyway, it's going to look out of place if Rainbow Dash just suddenly became "Super" without having another Mane Six becoming super as well.
