Comet Tail 808 February 21, 2012 Author Share February 21, 2012 Assuming were not talking about autopilot *sighs* airplanes aren't as easy as you make them out to be. You cannot possibly get the same experience of a bird by flying an airplane. what i meant by 3 axis of freedom was this...you can only rotate on each axis. a bird can rotate on an arbitrary axis, or imaginary axis inbetween the 3 axis. This has to do with vectors A combination of two directions is the exact same thing as an imaginary line in a whole new direction. An airplane can pitch and roll at the same time, the net rotation is along a whole new axis aside from the original 3. And granted, it can't be the same experience at all, as being able to just jump and fly willy-nilly, and to really feel the cool, or warm air under your wings, and gently turn them, but, don't think flying an airplane is too far from it is all I'm saying.

Mare in the Moon 173 February 21, 2012 Share February 21, 2012 (edited) So there's two things that spur this thread... 1.) "Read and Weep" had her become a brony egghead. A lot of who Rainbow Dash is, how she defines herself, is "not-egghead", but "athlete". She had the psychology of a athlete hater, but now she loves reading MLP:FiM. First let me say I just loved this right here ^. I never actually thought of this episode that way, this really made me think. Personally, I jumped a little when I saw Rainbow Dash reading again. Its endearing. I can expect that the reading references will show themselves in the same or at least a similar manner as they did in "A friend In Deed" I liked the little sub-story thing with Daring Doo as well, and perhaps they are leaning to have more episodes revolving around Rainbow Dash reading the storys, giving a little sub-story, like how the Cutie Mark Crusaders are. Just my thoughts. Edited February 21, 2012 by NovaBioField Finally committed my first name change. TURKEYS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletDagger 88 February 21, 2012 Share February 21, 2012 Rainbow dash is an athlete. She got her cutie mark by being an athlete. And the only books she reads is daring do. Which is exactly like rainbow. She's reading about herself. So of course she'll still be an athlete. But an occasional scene in the library would show rainbow with a book.
