I'd say the pattern is established by now. Season 3 may change that, but so far it's been true.

It was nice how they tried to use it a second time in the finale.

It makes me wonder. Can you dodge the Rainbow Cannon?

I think it counts in the sense that only the finale/premier episodes involve them. The elements aren't a regularly recurring plot device; they only show up in the climactic moment of the season.

I've quit my job.

I'm kinda glad to hear that, it didn't sound like it was much good for your sanity. Also, it sounded really dangerous.

I hope you find a new, better job soon.

I assume it's possible to dodge the Rainbow Cannon as it were, it's just that both villains who were hit with it, weren't really expecting it as in both cases they believed they had won and were overcome with awe at the victory the heroes pulled out of their asses as well as paralyzed by story necessity.

I'm glad you left your job, Applelight, I got the impression you were pretty miserable. Best of luck finding a new one.

Journalism is just a gun. It's only got one bullet in it, but if you aim right, that's all you need.

@Blissey re: Mr & Mrs Smith: That occurred to me, actually. Which is funny, because I've never seen that movie.

Thanks Blue.

I'm actually going to enjoy unemployment until the new year.

I'd say the Friendship Laser homes in. Considering it goes up then turns around to hit the villain both times. Since Luna and Discord have experience with the Elements it makes sense they wouldn't try to dodge an attack that can't miss.

I like to imagine that the beam will at least try to follow them, but that it's still possible to dodge, kinda like this:

@Applelight - What was your job?

Regarding the Friendship Cannon, couldn't the villains have at least tried to dodge or block it, instead of just letting it completely overwhelm them?

@D Roy: He was working at a petrol station. Also the Friendship Cannon is a homing attack.

Cool, that sounds fun (so long as you can afford it).

Regarding the rainbow cannon: Discord made no attempt to dodge since he thought it wasn't going to work. Nightmare Moon seemed too shocked to try.

@ Roy: Both Luna and Discord have experience with the Elements, they'd know it can't miss so why bother dodging?

@ d Roy

Gas Station attendant.

@ elements

Yeah, they defiantly home in on their target. What's more, they seem to change their attack to suit whatever mess the enemy have caused. Makes me wonder what it would have done to the Queenie.
