Rainbow Newbie. · 2:25pm May 9th, 2016
I am proud to admit that I have never skipped a single episode of FiM during the time I've been watching the show. But "Rainbow Newbie" really tested my patience. Wasn't the plot only cringy, with Rainbow trying to imitate her friends JUST to change the nickname, but it is also a terrible plan to do so, and this lesson is just awful to teach kids. "You don't like a nickname? Well, boo-hoo! Suck it up."
By far, this is, in my opinion, the WORST episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

The most important Rainbow Dash episode since the beginning, the expectations are high. How it turned out?
I think this is one of the saddest entries in the entire series... but for the wrong reasons and I mean sad in the exact same meaning of the word: the comedy, the setting, the character development, the moral, I feel all the plot tiring, old and forgettable. It's not like Trade Ya!, Scare Master, What About Discord? or No Second Prances, which are bad because of how poorly done they are, Newbie Dash is bad because I feel like something has died in the series. Even though I know Hasbro isn't going to kill its "Goose that laid golden eggs" so easily, after watching it it's inevitable to question if MLP has still something to offer or if it's better to say good bye for goods and all.
2.5/5
Don't you think you're being a bit harsh? I mean, sure there are a few problems in the episode, but I don't think it's earned a place as the worst episode... I think this is the best way I can sum up my feelings towards the episode's problems.

The issue here, and that "princess sparkle" is missing, is that THAT nickname is hurtful for Rainbow. She shouldn't have to deal with her idols calling her what ammounts to an insult for her. It is not right.
Do you mean "Newbie Dash"?
If so it's an episode that downright tries to justify bullying by blaming the victims for not enjoying it. Why does RD want to join such an organization when they only want to be the 'best' without actually doing anything other than bully others.
