I think the former defines her more than the latter, but both are part of her and have to be there. Someone who is full of energy and enthusiasm and confidence at this one point, and someone who behaves as though her biggest, brightest dreams have just been crushed in front of her eyes at another point. That's a poignant emotional dynamic, if you ask me. In terms of how she reacts emotionally: her highs are high and her lows are low. I think this is part of why she's interesting, and it makes her fun to get to know better. Her personality is also vibrant, and - as the series progresses - increasingly varied and complex. I dare say it's just about impossible to mistake her for any other pony lol. In terms of aesthetics, she possesses quite a vibrant, stand out appearance. Instead, I will provide reasons I think she should be liked and appreciated: So I suppose I'll never understand our society.Īnything I could say on the subject of why Rainbow Dash is popular (as in, liked by a good number of other people) would be almost purely speculative. In the end, I'm still trying to figure out the appeal in modern pop music. Rainbow Dash drags along this constant flanderization regarding to her overconfidence and apparent self-image of being better than everyone that's more annoying than all of Pinkie Pie's ridiculous dialogue in Filli Vanilli. But that's exactly the problem! The character can and has undergone these changes, though touching on her bitchy bearings will be ignored completely for the sake of padding out a story with her useless dialogue. Read It and Weep, Sonic Rainboom, and (too a much more average extent in terms of writing) Testing Testing 1, 2, 3 have demonstrated that the character can encounter a plethora of unique problems and have long term effects. Rainbow Dash has some good episodes, I will admit. It's like these writers sat down, smoked some pot, and thought that they could augment the element of loyalty as if it's some sort of compromise for her attitude. They're the same plots in different scenarios, as all three of them involve pier pressure. Not to mention that she learns about being loyal to herself and her friends three times in this series! And they're almost never entirely unique experiences like Twilight Sparkle's dominant "learn about friendship" character arc. I mean, the only episode that even attempts to take Rainbow Dash off of her high horse is The Mysterious Mare Do Well, and any effect it would've had on any character in any story completely washes away as she's back pulling the same stupid shit again shortly after. She might as well walk around with a big flashing sign wrapped around her neck that reads: " I ' m i n s e c u r e." And even with that aside, she continues this nonsensical arc of ascendancy over every one else. But Rainbow Dash seems to be plagued with so many that she's the most irritating character of the primary cast! The writers have done nothing to "fix" her annoyingly arrogant and self-indulgent attitude displayed by her in just about every episode that doesn't focus on her. Every character in this show has hit a low point or has a shot of annoying flaws, which is a highly subjective viewpoint. I've asked myself this a couple times as well. I want a Rarity and Dash centric episode! Edited Augby Jeric Also, she was willing to flush her dream away for a moral code she wasn't about to negotiate away. Her insecurities she hides to preserve her image make her VERY human. Dash has a lot of little character traits and nuances that are endearing. Her association with Scootaloo may be a big part of that, but it's not the only reason. RD is a really slippery character for me to pin down why I like her. I'm not comfortable talking for the RD fans and the community in general. But I do want to hear the true RD fans talk about Dashie so I'm not going to derail the topic.Ībout Dashie, what was said about her being the 'safe' gateway Pony makes sense, but I'm approaching this my personal view since. I love discussing her virtues and flaws like any great fictional figure. There are a number of Rarity centric topics around here where we can discuss this at length. And rd will always be 20% CoolerJust quoting you for funzies. And you Rarity fans ha you know you should respect Dashie for savin Rarity's flank from being a um what u call dash A SHOW OFF so before you bad mouth RD think. but i hink she made up for it after the first season. No i agree first season that was pretty bad. I hate when she is all about her dresses and how she looks. I dont care if she is the element of generosity sometimes she is just the opposite. Okay why the heck not hating just asking why is RARITY popular?
