Kinda hard to have legends about theories, though.

wild mass guessSome time in the future, Rainbow Dash accidentally flies so fast that she travels back in time. The legend of the Sonic Rainboom originated with her performing it in the past in order to get back to the present.wild mass guess

Sonic Scootaboom.

I like the term Sonic Scootaloom better.

I reckon Firefly was one of the original performers of the Rainboom back in the days of Dream Valley.

Alternatively to a flashback episode Twilight finally masters the age spell and we get baby ponies in the present. Plot possibly lengthens due to Twilight being capable of demonstrating it, but not reversing it.

Okay, watched the second episode with commentary. They name-dropped Steven Magnet, which was great. They also talked about how that first scene with the elements had to be redone a bunch of times to get it to look right.

What do you think this is, Homestuck?

Time traveling sounds like a good theory.

Now I feel bad for E Ps again though. Unicorns have powerful spell casters, Pegasi have super fast fliers creating big explosions...what have E Ps got? Farming? tongue

@ JT

Which bit, the rainbow of light?

Earth Ponies have Implacable Pony juggernauts that could probably level buildings if they tried.

Superior technology, stamina, and they have a monopoly on typewriters. Unicorns are already used to traditional quill caligraphy :V

Yeah, I'm of the "other pegasi have done it before in the distant past" veiw. They just have to be fast enough.

It's not Homestuck.

It's DBZ: Episode of Bardock.
I have a message from another time...

Cake ammunition?

Bread broadswords?

Also according to my fanon about pony technology they got black powder first because the other races either couldn't use it or saw no need for it.

@Applelight: Yup. They were talking about how it probably would have looked like crap if they had tried to do it with traditional animation.

Obviously they don't watch enough anime or read enough manga to figure out how the special effects could be done with simple toning techniques or colour translucency overlay. Stuff like the Slayers have some pretty wicked spell FX predate the extensive use of photoediting software.

[up][up][up]So at least in one case, Flash was the superior option? tongue

So, we all agree...super E Ps are Hercules?

@ JT

I can imagine how stupid it would look traditionally drawn.

Honestly, I hardly ever think about Flash any more when I watch the show. It's become its own beast in a way.
