in the most heterosexual way possible, I will state that is pretty sick


You don't need that qualifier there, any real man will agree that those are some sick ass dresses Rarity made

WTH, why do they not like those? I mean, I can understand Rainbow Dash down, but I thought Twilights and Fluttershy’s were pretty much amazing.


They all kinda make sense. Twilight was too obsessed with the factual accuracy of the stars she forgot about how the dress looks. Rainbow Dash wanted more badass. Applejack wanted something to wear on the farm. Pinkie wanted an actually edible dress. Only Fluttershy's didn't make sense... she wanted haute couture, and the first dress was definitely haute couture and fit her requirements better than the last one for sure. It's easy to let that one slide though.

Fluttershy > Twilight > Applejack > Pinkie Pie > Rainbow Dash


This, but with more >s after Applejack's

^Awesome, someone with style!

My initial post actually had 3 >s after AJ's, but I edited it before posting because I thought it too excessive.

Here's why Fluttershy > Twilight > Applejack >(>>) Pinkie Pie > Rainbow Dash imo:

external image

I couldn't find a decent sideview for all the dresses and I'm not about to scrounge the web looking for one either, so bear with me:

Flutter's dress is just flawless from a design perspective. The cool green and blue of the dress compliment the warm yellow and pink of her fur and mane, blending harmoniously without clashing at all and even go as far as to also compliment her turquoise eyes. Also, the long, flowiness of the gown fits FS perfectly as evidenced by her manecut. And the emphasis on accessories shaped like her cutie mark is just the icing on the cupcake don't ya know?

Twi's is easily the next best. What fits "sparkle" better than stars? Nothing I can immediately think of. So that was obviously the perfect choice! The cut of the dress is not as loose or flowy as FS's, which makes sense considering Twi's personality. The midnight blue of the dress almost matches with the violet of Twi's mane, creating a gorgeous blend of similar (but not equivalent) cool colors offset by sparks of white. It was a brilliant idea.

AJ's is good, not great, but still good. Yes, it's incredibly simple, but realize so is AJ. She's the last pony that wouldn't be caught dead in a long, pretty, flowy dress (other than Rainbow Dash, more on that later). Function over form was obviously the thought Rarity had in mind while designing AJ's dress, and it works for her. It's simple, cute, and it appears AJ could still get some work done while wearing it without shredding it in the process. The cool green of the dress almost clashes with the warm orange of AJ's fur, yet actually blends quite well together. The cute stylized Cowpony hat and apple-shaped brooch with dangly ties are the piez de resistances! Also I love AJ's braided mane.

Now Pinkie's dress is when enter "average" territory. I love the effort, but the concept was flawed from the beginning. Do you think a pony as energetic and hyper as Pinkie is going to be comfortable in a big, poofy dress weighted down with candy and other decor? No. Yes, it goes perfectly with Pinkie's big personality, but I could see her ruining that thing in a matter of minutes. And what's with the big, white collar? Have we not seen Pinkie dive head-first into cupcakes, chocolate, and other colorful things that would be sure to ruin a white collar belonging to a pony so hellbent on having the best time that she wouldn't care about stains? Bad idea! And perhaps most unforgivable of all, the hat doesn't match the dress.

Now Rainbow Dash... oh my. A Grecian theme? I don't even know where Rarity was going with this. First of all, Rainbow's "dress" looks more like a thick robe. This is a nono for a nimble air athlete intent on showing her stuff to the Wonderbolts. That over-abundant, thick-looking material is going to create drag and slow her down, perhaps even cause her to mess up. The cloud trim was a cute idea, but realistically, RD's dress should've been about half that size. She's every bit as athletic as AJ, so why is the latter the only exception? The grape brooch is... I don't understand it. Pinkie's more into hedonism than Rainbow! It doesn't go at all with her, nor does the wreath maneclip imho. The Grecian sandals, however, are quite adorable. Taking the entire ensemble into account, I can fully understand why it wasn't quite cool enough for Rainbow.

That is all. And before anyone comments about how ridiculously in-depth this explanation was... I'm a girl. I think it's okay for me...

That analysis is pretty spot on. I'd maybe say I like Applejack's the most though, just because I like the simplicity of it and how much it suits her.

I think the cut and style of Rarity's was absolutely perfect for her, but the colors were more suitable to Pinkie. Rarity's dress should have been bright purple with blue highlights/trimming, and green accessories imho.

Episode 15: Feeling Pinky Keen

external image
Another day, another crazy Pinky outfit

Fluttershy is randomly transporting frogs. What. Haha. Pinky Pie predicted the falling frog by her twitching tail. AND THEN TWILIGHT FELL! Haha Magical pinky tail.

Pinky: “My shoulder is achy, that means that there is an alligator in the tub”

external image
Twilight has to figure out why all of Pinkys random twitches mean anything or not. She now is following pinky in her natural habitat. Itchy nose apparently means swarm of bees XD

external image
XD A bunch of random stuff fell on twilight sparkle. Now a giant shiver went through pinky which apparently means something terrible is going to happen to fluttershy. Uh oh. What if she exploded?

“What if she exploded and then exploded again?”

external image
GIANT HYDRA! Twilight got owned with her logic only argument. Twilight makes a giant jump and then fails but somehow makes it!

The doozy was Twilight believing. Lol wut

7.5/10 Good episode. It was kind of a Pro God episode. As a Christian I like that. Its not obvious enough to be offensive to Agnostics and such, but its obvious enough to support the belief in God. I think that’s kind of cool.

The internet tends to have huge sticks up their asses when dealing with any theme even remotely religious, so yeah some people took this episode way too seriously.

I really liked it, I think this episode is the tipping point when the animation and stories start climbing to a whole 'nother level. From this point on, some really crazy awesome stuff is coming up.

Yeah, there was a noticeable backlash from the community after the episode aired. So much so that Lauren had to specifically state that they hadn't meant it to be a purely religious message and the script was unintentionally worded that way.

I really like Feeling Pinkie Keen. The first 12 minutes of the episode are down-right hilarious, as far as I'm concerned.
The rest is a lot weaker, but everything up to that point is comedy gold.

Same here. Some people are just so overly anti-religion that they are worse than religious people when it comes to making everything about religion.

I would argue atheism is a religion in itself, but that's for another topic.

As a Christian, I didn't get that vibe at all. What pinkie was doing was much more akin to fortune-telling or superstition "if I see three black cats before I get to work, it's going to be a bad day at work", etc. Which is something I definitely don't associate with Christianity.

I kind-of interpreted it as "Twilight Sparkle is a scientist in a universe that doesn't make sense; sucks to be her", though, rather than a comment about religion.

And yea, that's a better way of putting it, it wasn't really Pro God, it was Pro people who believe in God. Which is fine from all angles IMHO.

Woo, finally caught up with this topic.

I'm a militant atheist and I didn't interpret Feeling Pinky Keen as being about Christianity - I'd also go with the "some things can't be explained" angle. Still think that's a weird thing to teach six year old girls ("you shouldn't attempt to explain certain things"?), but whatever.

Didn't like the last couple of episodes as much as the rest - I watch this show for the animation and the humor, and there hasn't been anything really funny for awhile IMHO. I'm still interested enough to keep going, though.

EPISODE 16!: Sonic Rainboom
Opening preintro was hilarious. One of the best of the series so far.

“Yay”

Rainbow Dash is trying to pull off a move called the Sonic Rainboom apparently.

external image
Yay

So apparently Rainbow Dash has attempted the Sonic Rainboom 100 times and hasn’t pulled it off. Twilight Sparkle is trying to pull off a spell to turn everyone into flying ponies so they can support Rainbow Dash.
external image


external image
ITS THAT GUY!

Rainbow Dash is freaking out about doing the move, when everyone shows up. Rarity’s wings are pretty sweet.

external image
Sweet

The weather Factory is kind of awesome. Rarity’s wings are putting snowflakes everywhere. Pinky then proceeds to “Taste the Rainbow” lawl. It doesn’t taste good. There’s a ton of screenshots I would like to take but it takes too long to take more than a couple. Just watch the episode again.

Rarity decides to enter the best young fliers competition. That’s pretty D-baggy if you ask me. Princess Celestia shows up. I think that her bodyguards are the least emotional ponies of any in the entire show.
Rainbow Dash keeps switching numbers to postpone going.

external image
This picture sums up what happens next pretty well.

Rainbow Dash dancing with Rarity sends a giant Cloud at princess Celestia. And Then Rarity’s wings evaporate! RAINBOW DASH SAVES HER WITH A SONIC RAINBOOM!

“I did it! I did it” – Rainbow Dash
“You Saved my life” – Rarity
“oh yea, I did that too” – Rainbow Dash

Rarity is taught that she shouldn’t be a jerk. Yay.
7.5/10

Only a 7.5 huh? Sonic Rainboom's the episode that hooked me on the show initially, it's got just the right mix of good writing, solid comedy, every character except Applejack making a notable contribution, and "oh hey this show is cool and not girly" to get me into it. Still consider it to be one of the best episodes, I can't find much to complain about in it.
