Would a Super Rainbow Dash be stupid?

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.

I think you mean me. Like I said, I'm the creator of Super Dash. And, well, you could say that, but originally, it was more of an urge to match Sonic than DB.

 

As for what you said, well, actually, I can't really argue with that...but then again, they suddenly made Twi an alicorn without alicornizing the others, so...

 

With that in mind, since alicorns are supposed to be all powerful, if we wanted it to be fair, then giving similar treatment to at least one of the Mane Six would suffice. And Rainbow Dash would be my choice; alicorn, Super, whatever.

 

Besides, what if Twilight goes mad/crazy/possessed by with her alicorn power? Who, then, would be able to stop her? Besides the princesses, of course.

I doubt the show will go that far into trying to stop Twilight from evil. It's just out of place, especially if Rainbow Dash just suddenly obtained such power.

 

And sorry for saying "they", I actually meant "he".

I'm not sure it would go well with a lot of people, especially how touchy the fandom is with a lot of stuff within the show.

 

Especially changes happening with the mane 6.

The only reason this exists at all, is due to a shotty, poorly written animation where sonic the hedgehog and rainbow dash race each other. And that only exists because the two are the exact same person.

Yes it is stupid. Yes I would stop watching this show, and give up on life entirely.

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.

Ah the infamous "power creep" that plagues so many shows/games. Dbz was rife with it, I mean when the elderly pervert who is capable of blowing up the gosh darn MOON is one of the WEAKEST characters in the roster you know you let the characters get too powerful.

 

The way to fight power creep is to have villains you cannot beat with force but through other more creative means.

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 wanna fly high, so I can reach the highest of all the heavens.

 

Tails is pretty cool.

I wouldn't mind it as long as the other mane 6 got super forms,however its probably for the best it never happens outside of fanon.  :maud:

 

Rainbow Powers will have to do.  :maud:

Well, I wouldn't quit the show, but I do think it would be jumping the gun.

I will say that the concept is cool:FANMADE_Super_Rainbow_Dash_by_Cresento.pBut they shouldn't put it in the show.

mane_6___rainbow_powers_by_lexieskye-d7ithe funniest thing about these old threads is how no one wants it, but then it ends up existing in a odd technicality anyway and everyone goes on about how "despite all the hate they really love the design".

 

 

And yes, Rainbow Power Rainbow is a rather poor idea, but she makes a great leader at the department of redundancy in the redundancy department.

I don't really mind the designs, but they should probably leave them out from now on.

I just found it humouris that the response was largely "no" and then a "super" rainbow dash comes to exist anyway.

Yeah, you've got a good point.

Still at it, I see. Even though it was since August that this thread was last bumped up.

 

Welp. Even though you were against it, you still got it anyway, even though it's not exactly the white Super Dash that you were familiar with, but that of Rainbow Powered Dash. Despite your disagreements, Hasbro went with it anyway.

 

I don't like the Rainbow Power designs myself, but they're there in the season 4 finale. And from the sounds of it, looks like they're hyping up season 5 to be more epic than before, so who knows? Maybe the white Super Dash could be canon for real this time.

 

Either way, in regards to a super form in general for Dash, know that you guys are in the minority here, as there are a lot of people out there who are in support of both Dash transformations. Whether you acknowledge that or not is entirely up to you.

Yea, she's already capable of travelling the speed of light. She's likely immune to heat, guess she can heat up a lot, be turned into protons when she does a sanic rainboom, and turn back into matter whenever she wants.

I think it'd be awesome personally. Didn't see anyone bitching whining about Twilight and Tirek going DBZ on us :fiery:

 

Then again, I'm a huge fan of Shonen manga like One Piece and Yu Yu Hakusho, so it suits my tastes more then most I suppose :P
