Is it just me or did the writers go overboard with flanderizing Rainbow Dash this episode?
>>30812987
Nope. She was her typical stupid self.
>>30812991
this.
>>30812987
Yeah, her ego seemed even more inflated than usual.
>>30812987
just you.
>>30812987
With the episode "Fame and Misfortune" they basically said to the fans they are going to do what they want with the characters and and not take any constructive criticism. This is going to lead to more flanderization.
dashfags, everyone
>>30812987
She got teeny tits
>>30812987
how did they manage to take Rainbow Dash, the worst pony ever and make her worse? did she kill a puppy or something?
>>30812987
i thought she was finally acting like herself.
>10 years later in an interview Scootaloo would talk about how she would trade sexual favors for Rainbow treating her like her sister.

Horse tits are located near the crotch.
>>30812987
She's always been like that
>>30812987
Not at all.
>>30813319
twelve years later some one will take your comment and change Rainbow Dash to their self insert alicorn OC.
>>30812987
Nope. Self-praising and preening has always been the norm for her. She also got herself jacked up for her friends' benefit and showed a lot of doting on and care for Scootaloo without any of the exasperated faces would traditionally expect from her about it. Perfectly fine Dash presentation.
>>30813347
Noice.
>>30813551
>She also got herself jacked up for her friends' benefit
This, there was an almost sarcastic, self aware air to her peacocking.
>>30813551
>>30814211
I concur. And this has been an off and on thing for basically the entire series. I'm gonna assume that people complaining about flanderization probably didn't like Rainbow's personality much to begin with.
>>30812987
They went a little over the top with the self-praise, but nothing too drastic
I don't think they made Rainbow Dash more of a braggart this episode so much as making Scootaloo more of a wuss than usual
>>30813012
That episode wasn't making fun of people with constructive criticism of the show, just the faggots who misinterpreted the characters
>>30813454
Twenty years later, you will still be triggered by heterosexuality.
I wanted to have sex with every character in this episode.
>>30812991
Rainbow isn't stupid, she just learns different!
>>30813551
Not to mention she's probably being extra cocky to pose an example towards (the now extra pathetically frightened) Scootaloo.
>>30812987
Yeah. It made sense to have a little of that boasting but they went a little overboard.
Nothing as bad as legend of everfree rarity though.
>>30813551
>Self-praising and preening has always been the norm for her
Yeah but there was a little too much of it.
I think it was not so much flanderization as an overdependance on that one gag.
>>30815400
Even the flyders?
>>30812987
Nah. With the limited amount of moments she had, the part where she caused a cave in was spot on.
I don't know about flanderized but they did overuse the joke.
>>30813551
This desu. I'm usually very critical when they mistreat her character, but I honestly didn't find anything wrong with her characterization in this episode. Even the cave in was in character, it's the same kind of reaction that she had in Sonic Rainboom or Secret of My Excess, when her friends are in danger and she's the only one fast enough to "save" them, she acts without hesitation. I think that the fact that this time it was a bit dumber shouldn't be a problem, nor detrimental to her, if she was always perfect in her heroic actuations, she'd be boring.
>>30812987
Perhaps a little too much
but >>30816075
Just you
>>30812987
They certainly went overboard on Scootaloo's fears.
But I ain't mad.
The writers are bad at their jobs. I don't expect much.
>>30812987
Too busy fawning over her cute moments with Scootaloo along with the vast majority of fans to care about that. So yeah, it's just you and maybe one or two samefags.
>>30812987
It's just you
Just like how Pinkie tends to be a screeching retard who exists just to make stupid jokes, RD seems to have become an egotistical retard who exists just to say "awesome awesome awesome"
even further driven home by the fact that there's an entire fucking song in the movie about her saying awesome over and over
show discussion on page 10?
>>30816258
Did they though? Scootaloo was so scared in Sleepless that she forced herself to stay awake so she could avoid nightmares and then nearly died trying to flee from noise. She just didn't show it as much in that episode because that was the moral of sleepless.
>>30817979
This. I think that the fact that this time Scootaloo was confident enough to show Dash that she was scared was pretty neat.
>>30816990
>even further driven home by the fact that there's an entire fucking song in the movie about her saying awesome over and over
I really don't get what the fuck they were thinking doing that
>>30818699
Wasn't the entire point of that scene that Rainbow was letting her ego get out of control?
>>30821293
He means the horse movie not the human movie.
