Rainbow dash does deserve her element and she really represent loyalty, Being loyal doesn’t mean doing everything your friend says.

Plus, all of the other mane six struggle with their elements from time to time.

Keep in mind, this video was posted 8 years ago, and your comment only 2 years ago

True, not everyone had to do something for them.

‘Scream: contains big caps’

BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLE GOTTA LEARN TO DO IT BY THEMSELVES, NOT ONLY FOR SOMEBODY ELSE, IT IS NO ACCEPTABLE! (No I wasn’t mad) but yes

ya is very true being loyal it just getting your friends back not spending all the time with them

Indeed. It means being there for someone when he needs it. And let s be honest. Just because she wanted to spend more time with gilda because she hasn’t seen her in years doesn’t mean she is unloyal to pinkie. Also, she still was by flutershy s side her whole life, including the time she defended her from those bullies.  Just because she pressured her into going faster doesn t mean she is unloyal to her.

@Aaron loves milfs No, they're known for other things

Then doesn’t every character have the element of loyalty? This doesn’t make any sense to me

Ye
Taht rihgt
We shuold respceg rainbow dahsh
U rijgt

(Yeah, that right, we should respect rainbow dash, you right)

If loyalty means always do what your friends say, then fluttershy should have this element, because she never refused her friends until season 3 or 4<br>But this isn’t the case, everyone has their own opinion

But this isn’t the case, everyone has their own opinion

yeah but thing about the town not just her friends

Ikr like what if your friend says to hit someone and you don’t want to do it so yeah rainbow dash deserves her element


Guys, you gotta remember that this video was made back during season 4, and Rainbow's had a lot of time to mature in the past 5 seasons. At this time, she still made a lot of mistakes against her element, and Sawtooth (or... I guess Brony Notion at the time) had more evidence that she was more honest than loyal. In hindsight we know that she just had room to grow, but at the time she seemed a bit unfitting for her element.

@yourresume you're so right.. rainbow had never experienced anything like this.. she was just getting used to her element.. lets support rd

They all had room to grow honestly, but saying she doesn’t deserve her element right off the back isn’t okay. Like Apple jack lied a lot before and learned. Sure she made mistakes, everyone does! Personally I would say she grew the most which is one of the reasons shes my favorite. She wasn’t really unfitting her element though. If you think about it, being loyal is harder than it seems. In the real world, you don’t know who you can trust. Choosing your friends who you don’t know you can trust over your dream that you have a one life chance for would be a lot of pressure, but she still did it. But yet, loyalty doesn’t mean doing everything people tell you to do. People would take advantage of you and turn you into a doormat. When It comes to loyalty, it’s hard decisions all the time especially in the real word. And not only that, but loyalty is what you need most in a friend. (In my opinion). Because if you don’t have loyalty then what’s the point of being friends? It’s like they would just leave you. In  the real world, magic wouldn’t really count but loyalty would be the most important and pressuring element in my opinion. Seeing Rainbow grow with her element would make her stronger than she already was. I also think loyalty is the gateway to honesty if you think about it. It’s kind of a connection. Seeing Rainbow grow up with her element is amazing! She deserves better.


Thank god everyone realizes RD is actually loyal.<br>She proved it countless times. Go re-watch the show. It'll prove you wrong. Also, there's a huge difference between sticking with someone for no reason even when they're doing something you think is wrong, and being loyal to who you think deserves it. That's what RD does ALL THE TIME.

@Melissa Smith not unconditional lol, what if someone said “I want you to KILL EVERYONE” you wouldn’t do that but that doesn’t mean you weren’t loyal to them, it just means they’re doing something wrong.

BECAUSE THIS VIDEO WAS MADE IN 2014 holy fuckkk

I mean, this was 7 years ago, shes had a lot of character development since then

@Jumpy Jasmine I really like your profile picture:)

Dude this was made 7 y e a r s a g o chill

Uhh you realize he probably knw that now and this d is 7 years ago...

Bruh- This Was Post In 2014. Check The Video Date

@Iris I can still comment how I feel, bro.

how about you calm down and realize this was made a long time ago

Chill, this is 6 years old it is oudated and it is obvious that the characters had development during that time 👀


She does deserve her element. I mean nobody is supposed to be "Perfect" of course she can be a little self conceited sometimes but that doesn't mean she's a bad character. I honestly understand what your trying to say but she deserves the element. Throughout the episodes she was loyal in some shows. But even if she wasn't she eventually would find her ways so just leave her alone. In my opinion, she is the one who made the show very interesting. I'm not trying to be rude to your opinion or anything but she definitely deserves the element. When the producers made the show they had to think about what element should suit pony best. They had chosen rainbow dash to have the element for loyal only for one reason. Their the ones who made rainbow dashes personality, if they knew from the beginning rainbow dash isn't loyal then they would of just gave her the element of honesty to start with. Love you Rainbow >3


Rainbow deserves her element because she has done so many things that involve loyalty that she just doesn't seem to get credit for and loyalty dose not always mean you have to be right with your friends every second


Rainbow dash gets so much hate for her element, when in reality she embodies it perfectly. Time and time again we see Rainbow get offered something that she wants, deserves, and has worked for her entire life, and she always turns it down to do the right thing. But that doesn’t mean its easy. And that’s one of the reasons I find her to embody her element so well. The fact that she struggles and her situations and still chooses to do the right thing is amazing, especially considering how many people say she’s selfish. Being the embodiment of an element doesn’t mean it’ll always come easy. Applejack lied a lot, and sometimes found accepting and telling the truth hard, but did it anyways. It may just be my opinion but I think that Rainbow is a perfect representation of loyalty.

Like rainbow dash isnt perfect not all the time she has to be forced to be loyal i mean she cant just abondon her dreams like that shes not perfect

@Michelle you know what? I think rarity is the worst too cause when you think about it, she fights a lot! She doesn't even deserve having an element! Rainbow dash deserves loyalty. Just think about HOW MANY times she had to struggle, besides everyone makes mistakes!

@Why u look at meh yes i understood that now

@Why u look at meh yes i understood that now

@Why u look at meh no she wouldn't be little miss perfect because we know there are other flaws she has that actually make sense.. and while being loyal can be a hard thing to do, it shouldn't be hard for someone who's literally supposed the embodiment of loyalty and loyalty should be the most important thing to them, the thing they value most in themself.. but i'm able to look at it differently now, and i see that rainbow's situation did make sense.

@Kendra Curtis No offense, but it's because it was her dream- something she's worked for and seems so deserving of.

@Kendra Curtis No offense, but it's because it was her dream- something she's worked for and seems so deserving of.

@Kendra Curtis I know this was a long time ago, but Rainbow's character is made that way because if she would never think twice about being loyal, she'd practically be "Little Miss Perfect". Her big ego plays a part in all of this, which is why she may not appear loyal. Plus, being loyal is a very hard thing to do, and I say that from experience.<br>I honestly didn't think her being loyalty made sense either at first, but then I realized that she really is deserving of her element. I won't write anymore because I don't want you to feel lectured- especially since this comment was in the future, but there is more than enough evidence that she's very loyal, and very deserving of the element of loyalty.

@Michelle actually if you look at it all the mane 6 have some kind of personality disorder. Rarity has one as well which makes it hard to be generous. Twilight has anxiety so it's hard for her to make friends. Rainbow dash always has a problem where she wants the have everyone's attention. Pinkie Pie has personality disorder and depression. If you look at the one where she through herself her own party. They all have some kind of mentality disorder...

Tbh I love rainbow dash she’s my favorite she abandoned her dream for her friends

IKR! In Griffin The Brush-Off, yes she did sort of ignore Pinkie but it wasn’t necessarily on purpose. She has a big competitive side to her so when anyone asks for a challenge, she’ll go right in without thinking. Also she did say that she wanted to spend time with Gilda because she hasn’t seen her in so long, while with Pinkie and all the other Ponyvill friends, she can see them whenever she leaves the house. And at the end of the episode when she learns what Gilda has been doing to Ponyvill, she’s quick to lash out on her oldest friend. Also in Rainbow Falls, Dash really wants to fly with the Wonderbolts because it’s her lifelong dream but she also want to fly for Ponyvill. When she realized that she had to choose, the decision was too hard and went with neither. Ya gotta admit, complete your lifelong dream that you worked so hard for (or atleast take a huge step towards) or stay with you friends and watch all you hard work fly away from you, that’s a hard choice to make as obvious as it seems. But at the end, she still chooses her friends. That’s a pretty good sign of Loyalty to me. (If you couldn’t already tell, I’m going against the YouTuber who made this video)

that was what i was thinking.. its not always easy!

I don't understand why people are still writing defense comments on this video considering nothing beyond S4 episode 19 play a factor in it and nothing beyond the end of S4 even existed. Im sure one can still debunk this video with content between season's 1 and 4, but any point that's made in the comment directly or information just in ones head about her character beyond (S4 E19) that influences a certain statement is irrelevant.

With that said now that the show is over the most consistent characters as far as maintaining their "character's development" was Pinkie and Fluttershy. Aside from maybe (and that's a big maybe) 1 or 2 episodes a piece, their characters were never regressed for the sake of the plot like others unfortunately fell victim to.

@Michelle  and why is rarity worse she generously blended her fabric design and the opponent took advantage by copying she won anyways but she LEFT without taking time to know she won and ran off to search for her FRIENDS

I’m Kinda Reatable To Rainbow Dash The Only Thing I’m Not The Same About Her Is That I AM NOT BRAVE

@J but once twilight realised how much she loved and cared about the new ponies she had met and how much she loved having them as her friends, that's when the element chose her. There have been times where Twilight struggled but she never struggled to put her friends/loved ones/the greater good first. Yes her character went through so much development, but not because she struggled with staying true to her element. That wouldn't be right. If you're chosen by fate to represent an element of harmony, then that should mean you'd never struggle to stay true to it because it's so important to you. If loyalty was important to Rainbow Dash, then we'd see her be 100% loyal more often. Instead we mostly saw her act rather selfishly.

I'm a very loyal person, and i wouldn't leave my loved ones in the dirt for my own selfish desires. Rainbow Dash shouldn't have even considered this in Rainbow Falls; it should've been easy for her to decide to just stick with her friends the whole time because she's the element of loyalty and it should be the most important thing to her. Why did she struggle to make that decision? Someone who struggles to make a decision between their loved ones and a higher chance of winning isn't someone who should represent loyalty.

@Kendra Curtis i have to disagree with you there. If you think about it that way, then Twilight isn't a good friend either because it didn't always come natural to her to do that: she went from wanting no friends and thinking friends were a waste of time to being the princess of friendship. That's character development. It didn't come natural to her. Just like being loyal didn't always come natural to any of them. The fact that RD sometimes struggles just makes her more normal, imperfect, like everyone should be. It's a flaw that her character kind of needs since she's literally so good at practically anything else. She's always 100% loyal to her friends and the people she loves, even when it's hard. Plus, those are only the times that she struggles. The other times we don't see it, that's just because it does mostly come natural to her.

You know why rainbow dash IS loyal? In the episode “tanks for the memories”, rainbow dash finds out she can’t be with tank for the winter, so she tries to stop winter from occurring, she even got a solo musical number which I found really sweet even though it’s wrong but is doing it for a good reason. When flutter shy tells her that her winter will be pet less she bursts into tears while holding tank in her arms (or is it legs?). Anyway, this is a great form of her loyalty, even though she might be not so loyal at sometimes, she still has her moments of showing off her element.

Applejack did used to lie a lot, but had already learnt what she needed to about being honest, and now because it means so much to her she hates lying and struggles to do so, or feels really bad if she does, and that's why she's the embodiment of the element. Rainbow Dash shouldn't have to learn about being loyal; she was chosen as the embodiment of the element of loyalty, yet there are occasions where she struggles to be loyal, instead of struggling to not be loyal. If you're a loyal friend, you wouldn't need to think twice about being with your idols and leaving your friends or staying with your friends and dismissing your idols. You probably wouldn't even need to think once; you'd be there with your friends no matter what. Your friends would always come first. You wouldn't even consider not being there for them if there was a choice for you not to. Rainbow Dash's writing as a character is usually quite annoyingly inconsistent; there are times where she's incredibly and fiercely loyal, and even very caring, but then there are times when she's rude, impatient and doesn't seem to care that much about others at all. It's confusing. Yeah everyone has times when they're moody, that's part of everyday life, but with Rainbow Dash it's just too inconsistent for it to make sense. In fact, all of the mane 6's element episodes besides Rainbow  Dash's in season 4 made sense:

1. Applejack didn't actually mean to lie in Leap of Faith; she was thinking of Granny's happiness and wasn't even sure herself if she could trust Flim and Flam. Yeah maybe she should have been a bit more stern with them but maybe for Granny's sake she wanted to give them a chance and see what would happen. Perhaps it was silly of her but she wasn't trying to purposely lie to anyone because she wasn't sure if she could trust the situation.

2. It's part of Pinkie Pie's character to get overexcited and carried away. In Pinkie Pride, she feels like because of Cheese Sandwich that nopony appreciates her as the party pony anymore. Pinkie Pie needs other's attention and appreciation to feel important, that's just how she is. She's the most extroverted one of the group, and extroverts gain mental and emotional energy by being around others, especially those who appreciate them.

3. Rarity felt overwhelmed and under pressure in Rarity Takes Manehattan, and therefore got very upset and stressed out. It's common to experience these feelings with busy work, even if and when you're doing what you love. Rarity is a dramatic and emotional pony, and this is just how she is. She got carried away her work and what happened to her and eventually realised how her behaviour was out of order. People experience this kind of thing all the time (or at least I do), getting carried away with your emotions and frustrations and anxieties that sometimes you forget to think about what's important, but then you later understand what really happened. It's completely natural and doesn't mean you're a bad friend.

4. It Ain't Easy Being Breezies was a great one indeed; it showed how Fluttershy's kindness can be taken advantage of by even the tiniest of creatures (actually for them it's probably easiest because Fluttershy loves things that are small and cute). She didn't want to disappoint the breezies or make them uncomfortable so she put their feelings first (because she's the most empathetic one of the group which is partly why she's the element of kindness) and forgot to think practically, and she eventually realised that keeping them with her wasn't doing them any good, and had to be stern with them, and even got a bit emotional when doing this (she's such a softie, I love her).

5. Twilight's one, well I can't be bothered to write about her just now because I've already typed so much, but the episode showed some great character development for her and she's the main character so things usually work out well with her in the end.

Anyway, to me loyalty means you'd never struggle to put your loved ones first and Rainbow Dash sometimes struggles to do that and she shouldn't otherwise yeah she doesn't deserve her element.

@its moonlight why do you keep commenting that she's not loyal? It is in fact quite rude to simply disagree to someone's opinion without giving a reason.

Don't forget that episode when Rainbow Dash quit the wonderbolts academy because LitheningDust almost killed her friends. Rainbow Dash is the best! <br>Rarity is the worse!

Don't forget that episode when Rainbow Dash quit the wonderbolts academy because LitheningDust almost killed her friends. Rainbow Dash is the best!
Rarity is the worse!


I know this video is older, but it just came up for me and I wanted to add something. I agree with a lot of the comments here that even at this point in the show, Rainbow Dash is clearly very loyal to both her friends and her ideals. As for Applejack and honesty, I think you are taking the idea of honesty too literally. Being honest is not just blurting out the absolute truth at all times with no consideration for anyone's feelings. Applejack embodies honesty because she is always her authentic self. Rainbow tends to boast and brag because she wants to be seen as the best and is not the most honest about her weakness. Authenticity is what makes Applejack really fit the element of honesty in my opinion.


She left the wonderbolts because she had to be loyal to her friends. Everypony knows that she represents loyalty for her friends!!!

@aishath rishwa it's literally wonderbolts..

@StephieBugs! oh ya that makes more sense sorry

@June the moon, I think this person is trying to tell you the episode "Wonderbolts Academy " in season 3 look it up AKA spoiler alert!

 Rainbow dash quit her dream because lightning dust had the idea to make a tornado clear up some clouds faster with rainbow dash almost agreeing to this plan because she wanted to be a lead pony and not a wing pony but didn't really agree with it because it was too rough. When they made the tornado as it was lightning dust's plan. The tornado was made to clear up the clouds but things got out of control and the mane 5 suddenly flew by to go deliver rainbows package for pinkie until They got stuck in the tornado and when the ballons ropes snapped they started falling from the sky and when rainbow saw that her friends were falling she screamed like this " NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" Then quickly grabbed some clouds to quickly bounce them back up to safety and some other pegasi as well caught them just in time they were bounced back up rainbow dash was very worried and checked upon them to make sure they were okay. She was very mad at lightning dust as she came over she yelled at her telling her that tornado was the most terrible idea to make because her friends almost could've died and lightning dust didn't care by saying " well they didn't right?" Anyway looks like we broke an early record by clearing up those clouds with that tornado. we just broke a record! hoof bump? " rainbow dash denied the brohoof. " A HoofBump?! Seriously ?! That Tornado nearly demolished my friends!!! " lightning dust scoffed in disagreement " Well, Spitfire DID make ME Lead Pony, and made You wing pony right? "  rainbow dash sighed of agreement on that sentence. " right.." She went to spitfires office. " Hey dash your early sharp explain your record! all clouds cleared? " rainbow dash said this in little anger " yes... Lightning dust had the idea to make a Tornado! mam! " spitfire was surprised. " Wow! That's impressive trick work! " rainbow dash anger grew. ' Well, that " Impressive Trick " NEALY DEMOLISHED MY FRIENDS... No disrespect mam... but there's a big difference between pushing yourself then pushing others... If that is what it takes to be  a wonder bolt then I DONT want ANY part of it.." Spitfire was surprised. " What are you saying Newbie?.." rainbow dash took off her wing pony badge placing it on the table. " I quit!! " she says as she stormed off without letting spitfire responding.

NOW THAT is how loyalty works. ^^

Its spelled shadowbolts Keira in wonderland


rainbow dash does deserve the element of loyalty sometimes she does the wrong things but when she realizes it, she shows the element of loyalty


Well when you mentioned that episode, "Griffon Brush-off" and how Rainbow Dash ignored Pinkie Pie, she totally redeemed herself in the end how she completely cuts off a friend that's she's known since childhood (fillyhood) just for Pinkie Pie and her friends. It's really hard to do that especially someone who you used to view as a good friend and someone your very close to.

I’m aware that this was posted years ago, but there are still people that believe this, and I’d like to address it.

1. Rainbow Falls
2. Wonderbolt Academy
3. The very first episode
4. The Super Cider Squeezy 6000
5. The Season 5 Finale
6. The Movie (2017)
7. Sonic Rainboom
8. The Cutie Mark Chronicles
9. Rarity Investigates

These are some instances that showcased Rainbow’s loyalty. Now, let’s talk about the argument: “she leaves her friends/responsibilities so often” and “she does what SHE wants to do.”

Loyalty is claiming a strong allegiance/ support to (in this case) one’s friends and home. That’s what it is. What people often see loyalty as is blindly following your friends’ decisions no matter what. That’s not loyalty, that is a terrible lifestyle and I don’t know why people mix it up with loyalty.

Let’s look at the movie. Some people saw Rainbow as unfaithful because she left Twilight after her outburst, but are you forgetting the fact that she went with her other friends? Just because Twilight was the character making the mistake, doesn’t mean that she’s the one that deserved the loyalty of RD.

And yes, she does do what she wants to do, there is something called being loyal to yourself, which means doing what you want to do. Loyalty isn’t dropping every single desire and dream for your friends, that’s again, a pretty nasty relationship. That’s like saying that Fluttershy can never get rude sometimes because her element requires to be sweet to her friends constantly. No. Loyalty is not a black and white concept.

And people get upset over the fact that RD kept leaving the cheerleaders in 2, 4, 6 Greaaat (even if she was simply doing what SHE wanted to), but ignore the fact that she was literally willing to drop her dream job (Wonderbolt Academy) and dream of flying with the Wonderbolts (Rarity Investigates and Rainbow Falls) for her friends like whaaaaaT

Loyalty is an incredibly difficult part of friendship because it constantly puts you in a position of: “do I do what I want to do, or follow them?” And “who do I choose to follow?” And, “when should I stop listening and do what’s best for me?” It’s an endless battle between the support of oneself and others, it is hard to come off as a good person.

Rainbow deserves her element just as much as the other girls.

@Treka Double I agree with everything u say except that pinkie gets sad  while her element is of laughter. U know The work of element of laughter is to make people laugh N happy not to make urself happy or stay happy.

What I find crazy is that nobody questions Pinkie being the element of laughter, even though she is shown multiple times to be sad. In Maud Pie, she gets sad because her friends don't like Maud. There is that episode where she is trying to play a yak's traditionnal instrument and she stops because her friends tell her she can't play, and she goes into a depressed state. Same when they try to organise her a surprise party and she thinks everybody has forgotten her. It's crazy to think that she is not the element of laughter because of this, she is, but just like everyone else, she can not stick to her element 100% of the time.<br>And in the episode where Rainbow Dash has to choose between competing with the wonderbolts or with ponyville, she almost chooses the wonderbolts but ends up with her friends, so she is loyal in the end. She struggles with her element but end up doing the right choices, that is why she is the element of loyalty. Pinkie sometimes gets sad but she gets happy again later, that is why she represents laughter. Twilight also struggles with her element, in the opposite way. In winter wrap up she has to do everything without magic, but she is lost and she chooses to use magic to push a snowplow, but she makes a mistake and she realises that she shouldn't be that dependant of magic and she learns that she is also capable without magic. They were never supposed to be always magical, always laughing, always honest, always loyal or always generous, the elements are the main part of their personnality but not everything.

I was just thinking of this too, Spike puts others before himself more often than not. that's not healthy loyalty, it's codependency or people pleasing.


Rainbow has always stayed with her friends throughout the series, now THAT is loyalty.

Omg... so many likes! Thank you guys!

@Unicorn Number113 went to 121 likes .U see what 13 likes can do  also i have liked too

LostMatcha
She’s the bravest one and the best choice when it comes to loyalty.
She tries her best to help her friends when they need her most
And that seems like loyalty to me

Trisha Music I mean I THINK I can see the rhyme

Hey, your last line of the comment Rhymes!!!!

@LostMatcha you could disagree, but I think there's a difference between the rest and Rainbow Dash. Rarity and Applejack were born in ponyville and their careers are there (at least during the first seasons). Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie moved there long ago so they are settled too and also have their roles in the town. And aside from her wanting to stay for her friends, Twilight stayed in Ponyville after Princess Celestia told her to report what she learned about friendship in her new home. They all seem to be well settled in Ponyville (where also their friends are) and have something important to do there, while Rainbow Dash came from Cloudsdale, where she'd probably have better chances of fulfilling her dreams of being a flyer. I know she also came to Ponyville willingly (maybe trying to stay away from her parents?) but after all the trouble the mane 6 go through during the series she could've easily got up and left, I mean I doubt she is the only pegasi in Ponyville who can look after the weather. What I'm trying to say with my bad memmory and broken english is that to me RD is the one that has more to loose if she stays in Ponyville with her friends, specially during the first seasons, while her friends have their careers and dreams in Ponyville.

@Unicorn Number1 Okay only 12 real likes... you are one of those people who like their own comments

"Omg... so many likes!"

13 is not a many

Yeah, but she still stays with them, AND she is brave with her friends too.


I respect your opinion but I think rainbow dash is a good fit for loyalty, and applejack is also a good fit for honesty, I that is my opinion, keep up the good work!


actually, there is so much evidence that she definitely deserves it


𝕊 𝕒 𝕚 𝕙 𝕚 𝕜 𝟘


Actually brony notion, you forgot one other time rainbow dash was loyal. When we first get introduced to discord he’s mean to celestia and rainbow dash stands up for her, being loyal to her queen. Discord even comments on her loyalty

@Jumpy Jasmine No, that episode would've been like two years old.

but discord was introduced at the beginning of season 2, and at the time this was uploaded, it was already long out :v

This was 7 years ago if he still belives this he need to update it so its obvious at this time it probably want even out yet :v


Actually, every single one of the mane six acts against their element a lot throughout the show... It's just that the element of Loyalty varies in definition compared to the rest of the elements, because it involves debating between sides that are not always necessarily evil.


Rainbow did stood up for Pinkie when she realized that Gildq was mean to her, she also learned that he should be loyal to his team.


To be friends you have to care. All of the mane 6 care for each other, but whats the BEST way to show loyalty?? Sticking up for your friends in need. Thats why rainbow dash is the element of loyalty.

edit; why are people still replying to this comment i made when i was little

@Raji Patel it's called The Mane Six instead of The Main Six because they're horses duh.

why are people still replying to this comment-

Yeah that's when tiny rainbow stood up for flutterhshy

But she didnt really do that with twilight in the movie, she just walked past her in dissapointment

@Rani Lynne
Lmao there are multiple people and ponies who are honest (I guess applejack's element doesn't truly belong to her XD) as well.

Also a lot of ponies who are funny (the element of laughter goes to them I guess), and god there are a lot of generous ponies, also a lot of kind ponies.

Your logic is flawed :/

Yeah, even when Rainbow was just a filly, she stood up for Fluttershy.

You make an amazing point but the examples sawtooth gave also makes a good point she's the element of loyalty that means something more than just standing up. Loyalty can be shown in different ways and  since she has its element she should show them! there have been way too many examples in which she doesnt

Ok srsly tho why is this old comment still getting replies-

its moonlight 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

its moonlight 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

But they are all sticking up for their friends in need.

Yeah I made this comment two years ago and tbh I was just angry lol. I’ve changed<br>I don’t know why this comment is still getting replies,,,

Yeah I made this comment two years ago and tbh I was just angry lol. I’ve changed
I don’t know why this comment is still getting replies,,,

This was 2 years ago and you’re right, but the way you commented it sounded really rude, no offense tho.

You didn’t really watch the first season didn’t you -.- she’s right sticking up for your friends is loyal so -.-

@Rachel Alfaro well she can leave them one time not in every single nice comment about rainbow

This is a very old comment, I’m surprised people are still replying...

@chloe woods but she/he is saying nah with no explanation and everyone who comments good things on rainbow she/he says (nah)

@Hana Sherif well sawtooth waves did ask for peoples' opinions on the matter so yes the can have their opinion

@its moonlight  stop saying nah she's not Loyal she is and these are facts and be nicer

Everyone sticks up for each other, so that doesn’t solve it. You can’t make all of them the element of Loyalty.

Kawaii_Heart150 Gacha ØwØ <br>Yeah you still sound like one.

Kawaii_Heart150 Gacha ØwØ

𝐅𝐢𝐯𝐞•𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 ⧗

Cosmico StudioZ Yea I care for my friends, I don’t want to tell you how nice I am to them because I don’t want to look like showing off


something I've thought about is that maybe the elements signal things the pony's struggle with. Rainbow struggles to be loyal. Twilight becomes the princess of friendship after starting her journey as a terrible friend and going on countless adventures to learn the lessens most do by just living. Applejack struggles with honesty in one episode choosing to run away rather then tell her friends and family the truth.  we saw in the first discord episodes how easily the ponies can be turned against their elements through their own flaws. ex) Rarities greed and admiration of beauty getting in the way of her generosity.

The exception to this theory seems to be Pinky pie until you remember that she didn't even smile until she saw a rainbow for the first time. her journey to being her laughter sharing self isn't shown much in the series but that doesn't mean it didn't happen


A shower thought theory:
What if the Tree of Harmony had made this mistake on purpose?
Why would the tree do this?
By switching the elements of two ponies, the two ponies weakness which is not their strong suit is pointed out and needed to be shown in desperate circumstances.  If AppleJack and Rainbow Dash knew that they had to live up to their element, could it be that it helps them work on themselves?
If the Tree of Harmony had chosen 6 perfect ponies to take on the elements of harmony, they would feel they have no room to improve, which may lead to overconfidence or even ‘’turning on their heads.’’
Now if you were to have 6 ponies who are capable but some have room to improve, there would be no idea of ´being too overconfident on your element’ situation.
I’m not sure if that makes sense BUT maybe the writers could use that to excuse element mixup- ✨👾


I think Rainbow Dash really deserves her element. She used to be my favorite pony back when I used to watch mlp during my early childhood and I used to idolize her a lot (lol) Shes still one of my fav ponies but I don’t love her as much as I used to. She really does deserve the element of loyalty bcuz she always stood beside her frnds and displayed small and huge acts of loyalty even once she nearly gave up her dream of becoming a wonder bolt for them! That’s something really big, and also that time when she cut off her friendship with Gilda,someone she knew since her childhood,for Pinkies sake bcuz of Gilda’s mistreatment towards Pinkie Pie. That’s incredibly loyal if u ask me. I know she isn’t perfect and does have personality flaws but at the end of the day, all the mane6 deserve their element I wish ppl can stop saying Rainbow or Rarity doesn’t.


Rainbow Dash totally deserves the element of loyalty. She is always loyal to her friends.


0:05 She stood up to Gilda when she figured out that Pinkie was getting bullied by her and everypony else, stood up to Lightning Dust when she caused trouble at Wonderbolt Academy, RD had to save her friends that time, and not only she proved that she's loyal by rejecting the Shadowbolts to help her friends, she decided to stay with her team when she figured out that the Wonderbolts wanted her to replace Sorain when he gotten injured. So no offense Sawtooth, but you should pay more attenion to the episodes.

That is so true and she's been more loyal over the seasons and she's my favorite  go teamdashie


While I disagree that rainbow dash is undeserving of the element of loyalty, I can definitely see where you are coming from and enjoyed considering other potential loyalty candidates! This was definitely a thought provoking video!


they've all made mistakes against their elements, like when applejack had to lie about flim and flam's miracle tonic in order to not take away granny smith's new found happiness. they all mature and grow into their elements as the show progresses, and they all result in perfectly representing their elements. Spike is definitely very loyal, and that might be part of his dragon nature, or because of how twilight raised him to be, assuming she has cared for him since she hatched his egg.


Love your videos, but the elements seem to highlight the main 6’s best qualities, rainbow is brutally honest but in many examples, it’s not a good time to be honest. Each of the main 6’s element represent the best part of them: rarity-generosity, flutter shy-kindness pinkie-laughter/making others happy etc. applejack is loyal, yes, but her honesty is seen as the best part of her, people can count on her and trust her. I’m not sure about this idea, but if anyone has any other ideas I would appreciate it 🙂


She still loyal to her friends if you think about it she has small and huge atcs of loyalty

@×-MøonLight-× Discord forced her to choose that.

There's some mistakes here

1. Yes she can be loyal but a lot of times the other mane 5 are more loyal or even spike any of them could be the element of loyalty

2. In season 2 when discord was a new villian rainbow had a choice from wings and to stop this maze or her friends and ponyville. Wanna guess what she chose? Wing and to stop this maze.

Everyone does. The thing is that she is also super disloyal.

bro it was the early stages of the show stfu

@aki〔quit〕  It's a joke, the word "Rainbow dish" is a joke. Don't make people woooosh you.

@Kiki rainbow dish? Its Dash* don't make people make fun of you.

@Kiki ah yes, ""Rainbow dish""

Delicious

@Emma  without rainbow dish the sonic rainboom wouldn't exist and the her friends wouldn't get their cutie marks<br>Edit: The word "Rainbow Dish" is a joke.

@Emma  without rainbow dish the sonic rainboom wouldn't exist and the her friends wouldn't get their cutie marks
Edit: The word "Rainbow Dish" is a joke.

As she considers leaving her friends who need help to be with Wonder Bolts-

She doesn’t get put in a place where she can do big acts but only little not noticeable things and puts the friends before some of her dreams


To quote the show itself--'We're not flawless." In my opinion, Rainbow gets a lot of undeserved hate for being disloyal despite all the many times the rest of them aren't like their elements and the fact that the characters grow over the show. I believe a lot of the Rainbow hate comes from her personality, as, my family tells me, the ego gets kind of annoying. Also, several of the examples you showed I didn't even consider 'loyalty' fails. Her behavior in 'Mysterious Mare do Well' was kind of showboaty and definitely wrong, but 'disloyal' does not at all describe her that episode, esp as every time she was kind of first on the scene to sort out the situation.


Well, twilight is the princess of friendship since season 4 and was most of the time the one who learns about friendship the most. Imo, she doesn’t deserve this title. At this point, rainbow dash is more loyal than twilight knew about friendship when she was crowned the princess of friendship...


If spike would be the element of loyalty it would be an entirely different show


the point is always at the end of the episode she never abandons her friends, they need to that to kind of have a lesson by the end, especially since at the beginning she was still writing letters to celestia, loyalty doesn't mean you'd be loyal by helping, it just means your always there. loyalty isn't a thing you can prove in a snap, it has to be earned by trust, people have to trust you will always be there to be considered loyal.


Yup. The element of loalty would really work better with Apple Jack, but i don't think it's too bad like this. Rainbow Dash might sometimes be unloyal to her friends, but still she always comes back to them.


ALSO, In the episode with Gilda, Dash doesnt avoid Pinkie Pie after seeing how fun she is, Pinkie is in a wrong too, sure Dash is her friend but she can't spend all her time with Pinkie,  plus after Dash have seen how mean Gilda truly was she was mad at her.<br>Besides Rainbows ego cant be bigger than yours.

ya she spents all the time with her other friends she can also have out side friends


There is a difference between bluntness and honesty. Applejack is the element of honesty based on the idea of honest = earnest. Applejack is an honest worker which is why she also has low key super strength. Also rainbow is loyal to her sense of morality along with the homies. Granted with Gilda it took a minute to situate HOW her loyalty lies (rather than where as we like who we like even if they don't like one another - my friend is allowed to not like my other friend while allowing me to like both. However is homie A hurts homie B then that's a different tale).


I know she may have a short temper and she may take things the hard way but rainbow dash is still my favorite character


She's very considerate of her friends feelings in most situations, and also she does not give up on people, EVER. Like in the episode where Tank was going into hibernation and she kept trying ti get him to stay awake, or when Daring Doo lost popularity in southern equestria.


Here's my theory. It was never blatantly told to anyone what the elements actually represented. Twilight just put two and two together to figure out what they most likely were. So it's absolutely possible that Rainbow Dash was in fact Honesty and AppleJack was Loyalty. It just so happened that those two were tested with each others element on accident. Plus It wouldn't make sense for the elements to chose who they belong to based on a singular recent event, but rather on their personalities and past. If that's the case then the Apple symbolizes Loyalty not Honest and the rainbow thunder cloud I guess would represent Honesty not Loyalty.<br>It's was just never made clear, and it didn't really seem to matter anyway since the elements showed up as their corresponding users cutie mark, so that information wouldn't be absolutely necessary, just as long as they're together and the right pony is wearing the right element, it didn't matter. That's why the actual representation was never brought up by the tree or something, it wasn't required. Now I know that a lot of people are going to say that Discords appearance in the Hedge maze debunks this theory, but it actually doesn't. Them fading wasn't clearly linked to the elements, it was Discords magic that did it. So if he believed that AppleJack and Rainbow were swapped as well then of course he would make AppleJack a liar and Rainbow Disloyal.

Actually I do believe rainbow dash represents loyalty very strongly but in the beginning when they were fixing the elements twilight only knew of her cleaning the skies for everyone and choosing her friends over the shadowbolts so naturally she associates rainbow dash with loyalty before she becomes the brutally honest one.


I think Rainbow Dash is the most 'human' of the ponies. She experiences more conflict with her destiny than, seemingly, any other pony. She is destined to be loyal, and stick by her friends at the expense of her own happiness. Think about it. Rainbow Dash loses so much more than the other mane six, including Twilight. If Twilight were to leave her friends, then come back, it wouldn't be too held against her, because, well, friendship. We all go through our ruts where we question our friendships. But if Rainbow Dash misses one picnic, or even agrees with someone who is talking smack about her friends, she loses so much more. We see loyalty as something that should never be questioned, when in actuality, much like the other elements, it has a lot of disadvantages. Once loyal, sometimes you can't do what makes you happy. Actually, most of the time you can't do what makes you happy. Rainbow Dash's dream is to be with the WonderFurries, but since she became friends with the mane six, they see it as an act of disloyalty. Like she can't have friends besides the mane six, just because she is to embody loyalty. But, I believe in the show, she is always showing loyalty, just manely to herself, because she wants to be happy. Yet, she is worried about disappointing her friends, creating this conflict that many of us go through. Our own happiness, or others? I think she is supposed to learn that being loyal to yourself & being happy yields far greater rewards over being loyal to others & being unhappy. So, I believe she DOES deserve her element, just not maybe in the way we've come to expect it. We all have our own journey, and Rainbow Dash is no exception.


Thanks a lot YT, recommending this to me after 6 years.

But in all seriousness, RD deserves this element more than you'd ever know. I've seen some comments saying that if she truly deserved it, she wouldn't hesitate to protect her friends and be there for them- but that doesn't mean she's completely disloyal. You need to keep in mind that this cartoon is about their friendship, which is why it always seems like she's ditching her friends for her dreams and such which is true- although that makes you guys say she isn't being loyal. But let's re-think the situation here; Her life-long dream against her best friends. It may seem easy to say you'd choose your friends because it's "the right choice", but if you were in her situation not knowing which one was right, you'd be able to feel more empathy for the character. In the real world where friendship isn't everything, choosing your dream over your friends wouldn't be considered wrong and that definitely wouldn't mean she ditched her friends, since she can meet up with them, write letters, ect. Plus, as her friends, they should feel happy for her, even if she "chose her dreams over her friends".
Now, if she chose her dream, she'd be being loyal to her dreams. If she chose her friends (which she did), she'd be being loyal to her friends. Basically a win-win.
People don't need to agree with me, but I think that 1. She's loyal in every situation, even if her loyalty isn't aimed at her friends, and 2. Just because the show is about friendship, that doesn't mean she always has to be loyal to her friends.

Yep but I honestly don’t think Twilight is like “the element of friendship” and is the one that deserves to be a princess. Because without her friends she is nothing, I mean it was shown very often that her social skills are 0 and her friends really had to pull her up there. I mean why not make for example Flutter shy the princes of life or Applejack the princess of morals or something.

WHy does this have no comments, you put a lot of effort into writing this. Yes I agree.


being impatient with someone doesn't mean not being loyal to that persorn.
I don't see how the "Mare do well" episode question her element. Getting a promotion and changing of team to realize a life-long dream isn't also a show of disloyalty if her precedent team is ok with it.

Beside, the mane six aren't define by their elements, like Applejack who lie sometimes or Fluttershy who get brutal. They are lving beings with their own characters and flaws, who have dreams and goals. Not some abstract notions given form by magic.

Spike staying with Twilight isn't that surprising, she's his adoptive mother, he literally have no others places to go, he's still very very young and i doubt there is many job opportunities for a dragon in a pony society. And he actually doesn't really know any others dragons and the ones he encountered have been less than friendly.


Being loyal doesn’t mean you do what people tell you to do


Since she is my favourite pony I might be bias but I think she deserves her elements for the not so consistent but huge deeds she did to prove it.


Well Twilight started off as a shut-in thinking friends were useless and Rarity can be stingy at times, Fluttershy can be mean, Applejack lies about pointless things, and Pinkie Pie can be temperamental/bitter as well. So yeah, meanwhile RD can be a bit of a flake. <br>I think the fact that they all sometimes act opposite to their element of harmony actually helps them to embody their element even more. At their best and truest selves, their element shines through, but at their worst, it's something they actually struggle with. Sometimes the things you're meant for or gifts you have can give you difficulty. It kind of reminds me of stories like A Christmas Carol where Scrooge realizes that he's not actually a stingy and unloving man, or the Hobbit where Bilbo realizes that he's meant to be courageous, not a coward. I like that kind of concept.

Actually I think that her lack of loyalty in most situations but her abundance in important situations is a statement. She has the hardest to use due to her personality and element combination and that she does have multiple things she's loyal to,which is a problem. But she is there when it counts. Like in that flim flam ep in the end she helped her friends and was in the beginning only tired of missing out "every"year on the cider. Yes she does miss things which I think that makes her more relatable, but when it comes down to it she will have your back.

I'd just like to state that being loyal is <b>real</b> hard, and her element is tested a lot- Even when the episode isn't about her.

I'd just like to state that being loyal is *real* hard, and her element is tested a lot- Even when the episode isn't about her.

To add on, that's who she is. She's not completely loyal, like, "lol nope my friends can have my soul lol!" but she's there when she needs to be. Applejack is the holder of Honesty, but she lies sometimes. Pinkie is the holder of Laughter, but she gets depressed too. Rarity is the element of generosity, but she can be selfish at certain moments. Twilight has magic, but she doesn't KNOW or UNDERSTAND everything.

Although Rainbow passes off as blunt and honest (and sometimes even a bitch), that doesn't kill her of being loyal because she's not perfect, just like the rest of the mane 6. They all fall to the disharmony of friendship, but that's because they're not perfect ponies! If they were, FiM wouldn't have the huge fan base that it has!

So I think people should cut RD some slack because she's just not meant to be "fucking perfect", like P!nk sang in her song.


I agree that spike could easily be the element of loyalty but that doesn’t mean rainbowdash  shouldn’t. She’s not perfect, she has flaws but in the end she finds out what is right which is why she is the element.


Guys remember, this was 6 years ago, character development has happened. He was sharing his thoughts and opinions based on what was most recent then, we get it, RD has now proved her loyalty, but cut the guy some slack


I know this is an old video, but being brutally honest like rainbow is sometimes is not something friendships are founded on. Sure, she’s telling the truth, but without considering how the other pony would feel or the consequences.


RD does deserve her element she represents loyalty perfectly. To be honest I feel applejack doesn't really deserve her element, she tells lies to spare her friends feelings. Rd makes mistakes she can't be perfect all the time. In the first 4 seasons she made a lot of mistakes and that's perfectly fine, right now she represents her element of loyalty perfectly


My theory is that they just don't represent their elements in the same way (and they're not supposed to), because they are different and people react different to them. It's much harder to stay loyal when there's something you really want and is right in front of you, than it is to, say, try and bring a smile on everyone's faces (but that brings around different challenges again, that you can see in Pinkie Pie's story).

Plus, like a lot of other people have said, she might just represent different types of loyalty. I would consider myself loyal to my friends, but I also am loyal to my dream of being an author, and if those two were to conflict each other, I would eventually have to choose, and choosing your friends isn't always the right choice.

There's also the whole thing with Rainbow Dash not being her friends, and therefor reacting to things in a different way.

(Plus, she always comes around to do the "right thing" AKA choose her friends, and loyalty is a thing always tested that you always learn about).

Her doing the right thing doesn't always have to be her choosing her friends, that's just what the show makes it seem like because it's supposed to be about friendship.

Literally, If you had the opportunity to have your dream job offered to you, the one you desired since a child, and all you had to was accept the offer and quit your "job" that you have now. You would do it in a heart beat.


Oh boy, I could tell from the moment I saw this title that this video was gonna cause a lot of controversy lol. Looking at the comments I was right. I'll watch the rest of the video before making a comment, but here's my two cents: I agree, Rainbow Dash doesn't strike me as terribly loyal. It's been awhile since I've watched the whole series (I only recently finished watching Season 9 on Hulu) but from what I can recall there are a number of times where Rainbow Dash doesn't seem to really exhibit the sort of qualities I would expect of someone "loyal". Granted, she usually does the right thing in the end, but... it also often takes the majority of the episode for her to do so lol. For example, in one more recent episode I remember, Rainbow Dash is pretty quick to break her promise to Applejack and abandon Granny Apple and her friends to go on a rollercoaster. I know everybody makes mistakes and if she were perfect and never messed up or had any flaws then Rainbow Dash would just be another boring Mary Sue-type character, but the other Mane 6 seem at least a little more consistent in their qualities. Fluttershy is often kind without needing a whole episode to learn this lesson, Applejack is usually pretty honest, etc. And of course, I know that MLP is all about learning and showing kids the importance of doing the right thing, even if it isn't always the easiest or most fun thing. But still it seems to me that, at least from an in-universe standpoint, the ponies representing the elements of harmony ought to actually... ya know... REPRESENT THE ELEMENTS. Lol, just saying. But of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and if anyone wants to debate this with me I would be more than happy to do so. Just keep it civil please.

Edit: I thought of one more recent example of disloyalty. When Twilight puts Rainbow Dash in charge of the cheerleaders at her school, Rainbow Dash initially blows them off, thinking cheerleading is boring and insignificant. Eventually she changes her mind and helps them, but it takes a lot to do so. Perhaps it isn't the most straightforward example of loyalty, but when you think about it loyalty to one's job/commitments is just as important as loyalty to one's friends.

I see what your trying to say but tbh when rd was the coach for cheer squad, I would do the same that she did, especially because she had no idea what she was supposed to do, twilight didn’t even say anything about that, and twilight knows that rd hates cheerleading and that..


Imagine coming back to mlp channels after all this time for nostalgia


The point of the elements is that they all have to try to fulfill them. Twilight wasn’t magically talented as a filly, Apple jack struggles to be honest sometimes, pinkie comes from a dark and sad rock farm, rarity is a fashion pony, but unlike the rest of the fashion ponies, she gives freely, flutter shy,  well I’m not sure in her but you get the point. She chooses her friends when things get tough.


Not true she is loyal to tank  to her friends and when she makes a mistake she's loyal to fix it


This is true, but isn't that a bit hard on rd? She might be short tempered and everything and doesn't seem to be loyal at times, but when she had to make HUGE descions, such as joining the shadowbolts or leaving her chance of joining the wonderbolts, she chooses her friends instead. And even in rainbow falls, she might have considered the fact of joining the wonderbolt's team, but it never said that she DID choose it, right? She was so caught in the middle that she just faked her injury so that she didn't have to choose between the two teams. Personally, I think that RD deserves her element of loyalty.


Idk I agree with Sawtooth. Rainbow being the element of loyalty feels.... Forced sometimes. I think it's the combination of her being the element of loyalty and her personality being harsh. It's like they're fighting which one should be the dominant trait. Of course being loyal doesn't mean you should be a push over, but I think if they made her less harsh and made her personality slightly rounder instead of sharp, it would've made her a better element of Loyalty and stop people from being like... Bruh... Why is she the element of loyalty again...? Cause she's done A LOT of selfish things.

TLDR: I think she should have been more selfless, and Loyal, with her actions rounded, and the sharpness could have been give. To AppleJack...


Dash just acts a bit too confident because her parents always cheered her on the smallest or biggest things but other than that she’s loyal to her friends!
Like when she had to chose her dream of becoming a Wonderbolt or friends on the bridge she chose friends and she tries her best to help them when they need her so I think she’s absolutely perfect for this element
She also sticks up for her friends she’s brave!

Exactly. Finally someone that knows. She grew up with her parents keep saying she’s the best at everything. And it’s not rd’s fault that she was born like that and that she has a big ego.


So youtube recommended me this just today lmao. Anyway..yes Rainbow Dash's ego was pretty much huge back then in the episodes and in the future. She still had to learn that having fears is normal and okey and that her friends will be there for her. Her friends had to show her loyalty so she could learn it. Well that's what I think.<br>Even Applejack learned that being too honest isnt always great (especially because she doesn't like stuff). Everyone had their insecurities but they've learned from each other.

To be honest I really don’t agree with you. Just hear me out. Being the element of loyalty doesn’t mean that she still doesn’t have anything else to learn about being loyal. Take Twilight for example: she’s the princess of friendship and she said and I quote, “just because I’m the princess of friendship doesn’t mean I still don’t have a lot to learn about friendship” she said that In an episode in season 5-7.
The same thing applies to Rainbow Dash being the element of loyalty.
That’s all I’m saying because if none of them had nothing else to learn about their element or about friendship it would just make the show dull 😔✋.


In my opinion, Rainbow Dash deserves her element. I’m not saying this just because she is my favorite character. Sure, there are times that rainbow wasn’t loyal, but she always learns from it. She is loyal to the wonderbolts and her friends. When star swirl denied twilights idea for a new spell to banish the pony of shadows, rainbow stood up for her (and everyone else). The elements for the mane 6 fit them well, and that doesn’t mean they should be those elements all the time. I respect people if they disagree with me, but I think the writers did have a reason for these characters to have these personalities.


Spike, at least in the first few seasons, was much more loyal to Twilight and her friends than Rainbow Dash. I remember specifically in Three's A Crowd Rainbow is the first to abandon her friends with Discord. She does this other times too, and Applejack literally got her cutie mark based on her loyalty to her close family. In the first few seasons, maybe less in the later ones, she's a terrible representation of her element in small situations and Applejack or Spike have more of that feel.


I feel the same could be said about Rarity, and a lot of the other ponies, actually. That might be part of the character development, though. They don't come into the world knowing all about their element.


If I'm being honest (no pun intended) i agere spike would fit the element of loyalty better then rainbow...


Time and time again we've seen rainbow dash betray her element however like in reality after doing so she eventually does the right thing after some time of consideration about what she's done. Spike on the other hand while he is always loyal is more of a crowd pleaser and hasn't often displayed what the element of  loyalty really is.<br>Pointing out flaws means nothing if the character or person redeems themselves

People can still make mistakes, like really.


I think Rainbow Dash takes a bit of a more interesting take in at least the first four seasons than the others. Because like I'm good at something like art and others see that as a part of me, but sometimes I feel like not finishing certain ones then I leave them and don't end up completing them, but sometimes I push throw and get them done. Rainbow struggling with Loyalty I don't have an issue with cause the others too struggle a bit here and there. But while Rainbow is good with loyalty, considering parts of her character, it feels like something harder than like Twilight's element of Magic. Not trying to say the others are lazy with their elements, far from it, I just feel like Rainbow is misunderstood.


RainbowDash deserves her spot of the element of loyalty because even though it may not look that way she has been there for them and she is very truthful but she deserves to keep her spot of loyalty


I agree with you, rainbow dash has always been my least favourite character because of her narcissistic personality and she’s not even that loyal like if you represented the element of loyalty it shouldn’t be hard to pick between your friends and your dreams besides loyalty also means being supportive and rainbow dash is not supportive at all


Yea I agree that Element of loyalty and Rainbow's rebellious, freedom seeking personality DON'T mesh very well. In fact they're in direct conflict...<br>Applejack's personality is better suited for loyalty. She responsible and steadfast

Yea I agree that Element of loyalty and Rainbow's rebellious, freedom seeking personality DON'T mesh very well. In fact they're in direct conflict...
Applejack's personality is better suited for loyalty. She responsible and steadfast

Rainbow Dash loyalty
1. She's the only one going to look for Spike after he was kidnapped and when surrounded by buffalo, tell Pinkie Pie "Run, Pinkie, I'll hold 'em off. Save yourself!" back in Over A Barrel
2. She's watched over Spike with Twilight and Rarity back in Dragon Quest and put herself in danger by saving Spike from those teen dragons who want to hurt him
3. She quit the wonderbolts for her friends back in Wonderbolts Academy
4. She saved Scootaloo from falling down the waterfall back in Sleepless In Ponyville
5. She standing up for Fluttershy back in The Cutie Mark Chronicles and Gilda in The Lost Treasures Of Griffonstone
6. She saved Soarin in Rainbow Falls
7. She restraining herself when talking to Fluttershy (and also call Fluttershy the "number one flyer") in Hurricane Fluttershy
8. She saved Rarity and members of the wonderbolts in Sonic Rainboom
9. She stopped the train and cheering up Scootaloo back in Flight To The Finish
10. She helped and chase Applejack to go back to ponyville after AJ refused and broke Pinkie's promise
11. She defend Celestia from Discord's insult
12. She stand up for her friends and saved their lives many times, etc
and these was only from season 1-5 because I haven't watch all S6-S9 episodes. She's still loyal even Twilight said she's the most loyal pony in equestria


0:27 in that episode rainbow did chose her friend after she realized that gilda was like that. Someone who wasn't loyal and was as cool as dash would have gone with her when gilda left the party. 0:42 yes but she didn't fly up there and do it quickly like she wanted to, she stayed with her friends. 0:49 yes but she never betrayed her friends. 0:56 that's just because she wanted cider. She didn't relize it would cause sweet apple acres to go out of business, and when the competition happened. Rainbow was 100% on apple jacks side. 1:14 but she doesnt. She still stays with fluttershy even though it was very tempting to join the wonderbolts. 3:28 that's not loyalty that's persistence and hard work. And never getting board. Rainbow dashes code is different than spikes, but she would NEVER abandon her friends.

Also 1:14 is what I like to the key episode in this case, rainbow's key episode
In every Key episode the pony the episode is focusing gets her element tested and betrays it until they have to realize they are wrong and get rewarded with something that turns out to be the key to the chest they open when they fight tierek
In applejack's she lies and says the truth by the end
In fluttershy's she is overly nice till she realizes that is not true kindness, and that true kindness is doing what's right for others not being overly nice for them
Etc

yea and rainbow dash didnt KNOW that gilda was trying to get pinkie pie to scram, she just thought that gilda wanted to hang out with her and pinkie went back to ponyville


Idk but I've noticed that usually the mane 6 who represents a certain element is the one who makes more mistakes and consequently learns more about it during the series. Sort of a "practice makes perfection" thing (?


Well in my opinion i feel like in the first few seasons rainbow dash along with the other mane 6 even though they represented the elements they weren’t at their full potential and there still had to be character growth for them to truly “be” their element. For example twilight couldn’t truly harvest her full potential for magic until she became an Alicorn. Similar things happen to the others.


I think that she proves her loyalty on when it counts the most


I don't think the choosing for the wonderbolt team in that contest episode is a good example for giving out of Loyalty, everyone was tested on their element<br>Applejack had to be honest, Fluttershy be the good kind of friendly, Rarity had to be generous, Pinkiepie her laughter, Twilight her magic/friendship and Rainbowdash tested on her loyalty

i think rainbow is a very loyal pony she just is well non-patient at times


I think that Rainbow DEFINITELY deserves her element. Of course she makes lots of mistakes, all of the Mane 6 members do. That was their point of the Friendship journals in the later seasons. I’m hoping that your opinion changed on this, because I feel that she definitely deserves the element that she was given. She represents it very well and definitely shows her worth.


look i know everyone is giving you hate, but im rewatching the series after watching this video, and you are totally right. i think people are just mad because of the title, applejack and rainbow dash are both good friends and deserve elements, but they would make WAY more sense switched. rainbow dash says something bluntly honest almost every episode, and applejack is loyal to her family, friends, and very stubborn and loyal to her virtues, it does make more sense to have them switched. It doesn't make rainbow dash a bad friend, but she is much more independent and self serving than applejack completely. evryone is like "loyalty doesnt always mean doing what your friend says" and yea sure, but rainbow dash often considers her own need before others on many occasions, ive never seen applejack do that, and taking care of her family is her top priority, idk whats more loyal than that, its her purpose in life(to run the family farm and carry on the legacy). and on the other hand like i said rainbow dash makes very open and honest statements almost every episode of the first season at least that everyone else is afraid to say. rainbow dash stans just cant take the truth ironically lol. in my head cannon they are deff switched.


She does deserve her element . It has been proved ,she does small acts of loyalty which is good enough


I think that rainbow dash represents the element perfectly because she has always been by her friends' side :)


I used to think like that too, that they should switch elements. Part of me still does, but then I reminded myself of something. The ponies all have pretty big issues with their elements. Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack's are just different and more out in the open, and that might be because their elements are so closely connected that sometimes it's hard to tell them apart.

Pinke Pie is a ray of Sunshine, but in such a degree that others struggle to take her seriously or find her annoying at times.
Fluttershy is soooo unbelievably kind and shy that she becomes a doormat
Rarity has a problem similar to Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack, where her commitment to her element can be questioned. She has a generous spirit indeed, and has shown plenty of her generousity, however, there are times when she too, needs to learn more of the way of her element.

I believe that this is what's going on. They're still learning the way of their element, and have their specific issues exactly because THAT'S their element. And maybe we like to forget just how closely related these two elements are, we can all agree that these two ponies are crazy similar

And I'm gonna go ahead and point out Rainbow Dash's problem with her element. She's loyal to her friends, but also to the wonderbolts and herself. So when a situation rises where she has to pick one, it's a struggle of what is she more loyal to? And in the end, she always makes the right choice, and isn't that what matters??

Let's be honest human Rainbow was a bit more loyal then pony Rainbow

Like people are always bashing RD for not being true to her element but she still learning there’s always room for improvement like give her a break😂😅


Nah bro she deserve it
Also everyone in the mane six didn't match as their element sometimes.
Like... AppleJack
Sometimes she lied :/


(I know this was long ago but just incase you still think this) The creator of the show knows what their doing! PLUS Rainbow worked and dreamed of being her whole life to be a wonder bolt, and she  gives it up because of to see how lightning dust was being reckless and her friends could've gotten hurt. Plus just because she thinks about how awesome she is a lot doesn't mean she never thinks about how awesome her friends are


Well, if you watched that one season 4 Episode in which ponyville is competing for the equestria games at rainbow falls, rainbow dash made a loyal decision.


Loyalty dosent only mean being on your friends side. It means being loyal to the ones that are there for you for example... Rainbow Dash showed her loyalty at the royal wedding of Kadens and Shining Armer! Yea... she did ignore Twilight when she said that Kadens is not the one she Knows. Dash also helped Fluttershy to face her fears on episode 22.Hurricane Fluttershy  on season 2. S000OOOooo...<br>I think that Rainbow Dash has all the loyalty she needs to proof she can have that element!! also she’s my fav character as well as Twilight 🙂😅💜
