Should Applejack and Rainbow Dash' elements have been switched?

This is something I have heard quite a bit, that Applejack should have gotten the element of loyalty and Rainbow Dash should have gotten the element of honesty.

 

Reasons cited are that Applejack has been better displaying loyalty while Rainbow Dash has been better displaying honesty. There are some videos I have watched that have gone on the subject and wanted to hear your thoughts.

 

I can kinda see where they are going with this. Just look at the second episode when Applejack is holding Twilight from falling and tells her she'll be okay and to trust her and sure enough she is saved.

 

Whereas Rainbow Dash gets the chance to be a part of something she really has wanted but is honest about most everything.

Honestly I feel at times like their core personalities always fit their opposing elements better as well. AJ is all about family values and being the rock of her friends, as she's typically the last to panic when a situation goes awry and she always has the most reasonable lines in scenes she's in. Loyalty, I feel, is more about steadfastness and the ability to hold true to a certain behavior no matter what's happening. Meanwhile Rainbow Dash is one of the groups snarkers, the most overt and honest in calling out the others. Now that's honest, right there. Of course this ultimately depends on how you interpret loyalty and honesty as concepts, and with a different interpretation from mine the girl's current elements make sense.

This is actually a common opinion in the Brony community.

 

Which, I can agree and disagree to both sides.

 

I think their personalities have been switched from their elements, Applejack calling herself "the most loyal and dependable of ponies", then you have Rainbow Dash usually being "brutally honest" pretty often.

 

So, I can see their elements being switches as a good thing, but how would the writers pull that off? ^^"

Well, it's obviously to late now. I agree with one YT guy that it could be broadened to be where Applejack is the element of dependability and Rainbow Dash is the element of Authenticity.

People should notice that we're NOT the ones who made the show. I don't understand why people care... Why not just be happy that we even have a show to like

 

Because people want to have opinions and have their opinions be heard

 

 

Also I believe that they should be switched since Rainbow Dash hasn't been showing loyalty as often as she should have been while Apple jack has been loyal in fact in my opinion more loyal then Rainbow Dash.

I think I an see your point, but there has many instances of Rainbow Dash skirting around the truth, while Applejack says it straight up. Also I think Rainbow Dash's loyalty is unquestioned and Applejack's too, but I think Applejack's honesty rises above.
