The episode audio is a bit loud in this one, I apologize if you can't hear me sometimes. Also, fuck my roommates!

@@winter2716 Because of superhero landing is when you drop down from the sky or tall building and then land hard on the ground like Ember did in the episode Triple Threat. Spitfire however when did slowly then landed hard on the ground therefore not a superhero landing

@@stormshadowproductions1660 Whatever you say, my friend, whatever you say…


It's so funny how you can hear Apple Jack's voice in some parts when Rainbow was imitating her. It must've been hard for Ashleigh to do that.

Twifan4ever xx That impression kinda reminds me of Ashleigh’s other role in the show Littlest Pet Shop. Her character Blythe Baxter went into full arrogance-mode with that type of accent and tone.


Voice director: Alright, Ashleigh. Today you'll be voicing Rainbow Dash pretending to be Applejack.<br>Ashleigh Ball: .... hold my cider

Writers: We seem to have realized that some fans liked Rarity's impression of Pinkie Pie a few episodes back. So, you like impressions, do you? Here, have five more.


12:20 I mean when you think about it this is some really impressive voice acting. The same voice actor who does rainbow does applejack and right now she’s voicing Rainbow Dash doing an impression of applejack.


Glad to see and hear more Spitfire.

Though I have to say what really got my attention was Ashleigh Ball’s amazing impression of RD imitating AJ at the same time. Something that’s not an easy feat for some voice actors.


2:25 "She's accomplished her dream."
That's Rarity, Twilight (well, I guess that was more Celestia's dream for her), and now Rainbow Dash.   Talk about progress!

Shows you how great a va Ashleigh ball is you know how hard it is to a character doing an impersonation of another that you also voice and still sound like the original character thats true talent


Another character arc comes to a close! Rainbow has finally become a Wonderbolt!


16:36 Every time I watch this scene, I can't help but think back to Gilda's testimony: "Rainbow Dash killed that other pony with a storm cloud. I was there."

@@karoldudzinski3975 It's a line from Turnabout Storm, an absolutely brilliant fanmade crossover between MLP:FiM and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. You can find it here on YouTube. This exact quote comes from episode 4, around the 12:30 mark


The RD character impressions are strong in this episode, lol!


I have to say Rainbow's impressions were really funny with a........Dash of awesomeness.

they don't call her rainbow act for nothing


Even though the original creator Lauren Faust left the series by this point she said that it had always been her plan for Rainbow to become a wonderbolt, Rarity to open the Canterlot shop, and what happened to Twilight.

Wait, are you sure it was her plan to make Twilight a princess?  I under the impression that it was never her plan to give her wings because she designed Celestia and Luna as the only the only alicorns.  I do thing she planned for Twilight to eventually take over, but not as an alicorn.  Pretty sure that was Hasbro's idea to sell more toys.

@@Obi-Wan_Kenobi I only meant that Lauren Faust's plan was for Twilight to take Celestia's place. I don't know if Twilight being an alicorn was a part of it or not. However even though several fans (including me at first) didn't like the direction they went in with Luna and Celestia I do get the moral of the story. A hard worker like Twilight shouldn't limit herself to being a pale copy of her idol she should aim to surpass Celestia.

which shows the creators actually put love into this show even after lauren left. Can't say the same about G5.


Rainbow and Applejack have the same voice actress, so that scene was a pleasure to watch.


17:33 "Oh god.  Fluttershy fell into her lap."
Have you ever been more jealous of any pony than you were of Twilight right then?  :)


Some people got upset at this episode because they didn't understand the concept of having a call sign in the military/air force and thought the Wonderbolts were just being bullies.


21:08 Spitfire: "You don't wanna know what they call me."
PonyBro: "I actually do."

My personal theory: Stripfire.  During her first performance, she flew too close to a tree and part of her suit got snagged on a branch, ripping the whole thing off her.

13:43 "Ooh, doing a massage in a locker room?"
Probably more than that, but that's all they can show if they want to keep their TV-Y rating.  :D


12:20 Correct, it's one of the hardest things in voice acting, if not THE one. And closer two voices are, the harder.


Crashing does seem to be RD’s weakness. I find it strange considering she established she can scan all around her whilst flying in Testing Testing 1 2 3

Doesn't mean you don't make mistakes. You can't get better without screwing up


While this episode ends her arc as becoming a wonderbolt, its not the end of her story, she can achieve more there are more to come. Many hated this episode because it was not an epic celebration, but I think it was a pretty good episode if you look at the bigger picture.

Many also hated this episode because they’re pussies who don’t understand how the military (or anything in the real world, for that matter) works.


Yeahhhg, another great episide with Guesso-brony!


Wait...did they call Spitfire..."Shitfire"? I wouldn't put it past the crew to suggest that in the show! LMAO


It should be coming later tonight or tomorrow, I have seen it already and I agree that it is pretty damn good!

That episode is deja vu to a particular episode don’t you think?


13:30 It looks like "Care Mare" almost gave you a heart attack!


I think I figured out Spitfire's nickname. If I'm correct, it's one that would not make it past the censors, and the only difference is the second letter.

She must have had Taco Bell the night before she became a Wonderbolt.


1:08 "What's up, Scootaloo?"
Not her.  ;)


Head cannon: Spitfire’s first day she ate something that didn’t settle right. Then spent the whole day in the restroom. <br>Nickname: Sh*tfire XD

@@Sarah-du3fv *He.

RarityDash is a dude.


love this episode, all things considered XD


4:40 "They're not as fast as Rainbow!"
True, but speed isn't everything, especially when it comes to group precision flying routines.


It's a personal headcanon that Spitfire is known as "Shit Flyer."


Rainbow dash just needed to get a sense of humor and recognize they were just ripping on her, by calling her crash also I appreciate it how they don't give all the answers and leave it to the imagination as to what Spitfires nickname is, I I imagine it's swallow fire  ( what could be worse than crash) it must be derogatory and sexual; I imagine on her first day sh got in an accident with Soarin and ending up in a compromising position she ended up sucking him off, in front of everyone, and didn't spit anything out when she was done.

*looks at your recent comment history*

Boy, you just have quite the dirty mind, don’t you? ;)

(Also, I’m pretty sure DWK came up with “Swallowfire” first :P)

@@winter2716I was just thinking of the most embarrassing thing that could be associated with her name, just as crash was to  dash


Oh My God. I can't wait for you to finish Season 6, to start reacting to DWK. Specially his take on this episode 🤗


Glad you’re a military guy, so many bronies didn’t get this episode and ended up hating it.

That’s because PonyBro’s not a pussy like so many other bronies.


Rainbow acting like rarity with the wonderbolt suit i s the most sexy pony in mlp


I was not a fan of how the Wonderbolts acted in this episode.  They really made Rainbow feel like garbage and that's inexcusable.  I don't care if it's tradition to give a degrading nickname to newbies, it's a tradition of cruelty.

The Wonderbolts are based on the military (or just any big, tight knit group) and teasing is prettyyyyyy common there.

@@yallaintit That's why I don't like it. This isn't nice.

It isn’t really cruel, at least not in this case. Teasing a child in school, totally! That’s terrible!

But this is a different scenario. It’s a group of adults who know what they’re getting into, (or at least they should). They aren’t teasing strangers, they’re teasing each other in the group. It’s like a group of friends or acquaintances teasing each other. Not out of cruelty, but either out of instructional discipline, or just fun. But at the end of the day, they know it’s not personal. In fact, some of the wonderbolts even came up to her without any hostility at all. Proving it wasn’t to mean anything actually mean. It’s all about the intention.

Rainbow just didn’t know that’s how it worked yet.
Which I feel is fault on both sides. The team probably should’ve told her that sooner (though perhaps they assumed she knew already), and RD didn’t really go up to Spitfire and tell her up front that she felt horrible being called “Crash” until the very end of the episode, at which point the team DID finally let her know the reason for the name.


According to a wiki I found, Spitfire’s nickname is “Sh*tfire”


<b>Insert Reading Rainbow music here</b>


I think spitfire’s nickname might be shitfire 😂


6:59-7:02/7:07-7:13  Am i crazy or did Soarins laugh look fake


This is a good episode. Though a little flawed. Rainbow Dash is kind of dumb. Though it's great that she is now a wonderbolt.

@@GuyWithNoNickName By not communicating. Also by not thinking things through to an absurd degree.

@@thaddeusr.3967  It was mostly pride that got in the way. She looked forward to this for the longest time. And had a specific idea of how she thought it would and should go. When you’re so zoned in on one thing, other things can sometimes go out the window in the moment. Like with the storm cloud thing. She thought it was a good idea at the moment, but once she finally got up to it, her fight or flight kicked it, and she bowed out last second.

I wouldn’t say she was dumb at all. She just wanted something really badly, and was too focused on it. Not thinking straight.

As for not communicating, again pride. She didn’t want to admit that anything was bothering her until the end. At one point a wonderbolt even came up to her trying to encourage her, but RD just brushed it off to not look weak in front of her idol team.

@@GuyWithNoNickName Still this is her most reckless episode. She wasn't even this reckless in season 1.

@@thaddeusr.3967 How was she reckless tho? I can understand about the whole storm cloud stunt, but other than that, what recklessness?

@@GuyWithNoNickName Reckless might not be the best word to describe this more like impulsive. But what did she think was going to happen with those impressions. This is season 6 Rainbow and she had overnight to think on it. And it still feels like season 1 Rainbow improving or a little worse.


I keep cringing on this episode I couldnt have handle 3 seconds of Dash trying to imitate the Mane 6
