Holy damaged wood, Batman, that barn was just ready to fly apart!

Wait, Dash can pretty much turn at right angles even at high speeds right? Her first SRB for instance?

Maybe the rainnuke is an SRB, but as soon as Dash hit the roof, she immediately reversed backwards, and the SRB did the work (and the dust and clouds is all just magical effects?)

In other words, a showy and brightly coloured Goomba Stomp?

^That seems very likely. In the very same scene, even, we see that Dash leaves behind rainbow-colored dust when she moves quickly, and she's rainbowed other things (like vapor trails and fire) in the past, so rainbowing a cloud of debris would seem very possible even if there's no extra explosive component to it.

you know, that issue in the last ep with Rarity seeminly trying to charm the gem frim spike still bugs me. Rarity wouldn't do that to Spike, right?Then I noticed something. Someone said that Rarity's voice didn't sould like she was trying to malipulate Spike, but her body laguage does. The thing is, Rarity always acts like that. Her body language always comes across as 'glamorous'. She didn't mean to do it to charm him, she just did it natuarly. I just can't see her doing it on purpose to a freind.

I'm probably supposed to be doing work right now.

That's how I interpreted the scene, though I haven't had the words to explain it until now.

Excellent!

So it's not that Dash herself is an invincable living bomb. She can just sort of make things explode by directing the sonic rainboom at them.

The balance is restored...poor Horses though. They got nothing going on!

Why are you always trying to make Rainbow Dash MORE broken than she already is?

Sorry! the depression is starting.

She doesn't count as broken until she can break Twilight.

Exactly how I interpreted it, Cookoo. Rarity's usual way of acting is to be charming, because that's her default. The fact that she does want the gem, but she wants Spike to enjoy it more, is slightly confused by that and by Spike's own reaction to Rarity's baseline charm.

I think I know that barn bit played out.

Dash: Hey AJ, what you doing?

AJ: Tearin down this old barn so I can put up a new one!

Dash: Cool, demolition work? Can I help?

AJ: Nah I got it covered. One good kick to each corner will have the thing collapsing in on its self.

Dash: Ah but that's boring! Let me do! I promise ya it'll be good!

AJ: Well, all right then. You can demolish the barn.

Dash: Great! Put this on! (gives her a helmet) You're going to need it!

So, it's basicly Dash's flash against AJ's boring practicality...AJ didn't need Dash's help, she just accepted it.

I never try to make MY favourite characters (in any show) out to be the best, in fact I like them less if they are

I don't necessarily want her to be the best. Just one of the best with being the best as an attainable goal. Besides Twilight can still show up Rainbow. And if the Wonderbolts ever did anything they would as well. Probably.

I would like an episode showing the wonderbolts in action. In fact, there should be a background caracter ep, full of little stories for them to expand their caracters.

I'm probably supposed to be doing work right now.

Well, they did show in Sweet and Elite, although they were largely off-screen, even for that scene.

I have a message from another time...

@Badwolf

I just wish EVERY character could show up every OTHER character in SOME way. At least among the mane cast

And yeah, the Wonderbolts are getting fucked over hard. It's especially depressing because, since they aren't mane characters, they'll never be allowed to completely solve a problem. So they'll probably just continue to succumb to The Worf Effect

I could actually see them doing a background character episode or two.

Oh man, this looks like it's gonna be a good one. Of course Rarity would be the royalty.

@Cookoo: That's pretty much how I saw it, although I still think the animators overdid the body language a little.

Weirdly, in that second screenshot, AJ is singing with Fluttershy, Pinkie is singing with RD, and... the two unicorns are singing with each other?

This IS supposed to be about how the 3 races joined together in harmony, right?

And thus the Unicorns decided. "Screw those other guys we're awesome".

Alternatively this is half way through and the Earth and Pegasus Ponies have just joined while the unicorns haven't yet.
