Catching Up on MLP

Before today, the only episodes of Season 4 I had seen were the two season premieres. I am remedying that.

.....I'll be honest, I couldn't finish Daring Don't. Rainbow Dash was just so.....ugh.

She reminds of me of every horrid fan of everything ever.

I was more bothered by the fact that Daring Do was real, thus adding a whole bunch of questions that went unanswered, not a whole lot else besides said questions, and jossing an ungodly amount of fanfics and fan theories for those minimal gains.

Yeah, like he said. Dash's fangirling was mostly in character concidering the way we've seen her idolize the wonderbolts. Admitedly Dash (and the other M6 as well, if mor briefly) does seem to forget she's a hero in her own right that has saved equestria multiple times over, and as we've seen in eps Rainboom, she can suffer from serious confidence issues when she fetal overwhelmed or overshadowed. So getting down on her self when her failure get Daring caught is likewise mostly in character.

The biggest issue really I'd Daring herself. Deficitional lizing her could have been an interesting premise in regard to the difference between fantasy and reality, wherein Dash must reconcile the Dairying she has imagined with the she now meets. Frame the moment of the reveal, however, the episode plays every thing about Daring and her enemies completely straight, the snarky one-liners, the implosible action seuqences, the overblown death trap. The episode feels less like world building and more like a crossover, like the cast have been transported to a difrent world that plays by different rules.

Personally I think the whole premis would have worked better if there'd been a final reveal that everything after the party was actually a fanfic that dash had been writing to cope with the delayed release of the book.
