Found that in my game too. Thought it was something random, but I guess it's supposed to be there....
How come so many people thought it could be Trixie? Because of the costume maybe? Because... well, the idea of a hero Trixie (a least boastfull hero than Rainbow Dash, no less) is as far fetched as it can get, imo. At least if we talk considering her episode, the head canon we make for our favorites aside.
Not if she returned to make up for past wrongs and the episode ended up being about Dash getting jealous. She hides her face because she thinks everypony hates her.
Well, sure, and if Rainbow Dash grows a horn she would become an alicorn, realize she's the best choice for Equestria and her destiny, and run for president/princess/queen/whatever, instead of bothering with the little leagues like being the hero of Ponyville... but I'm talking things behaving along what's been established, no world-changing events. We can justify almost anything the plots wants to happen, but that doesn't make everything a logical progression of events.

Agree with this. All ponies need to be punished.

I love the Batman the animated series logo tribute they did.
EDIT: looks even more similar in the episode.
The BGM kept borrowing bits of the theme song to boot. Neat character design wasted on a pretty shoddily written episode.

I thought the character design was a tribute to Darwing Duck, something I find awesome.
The work that william anderson did for Mare do well's main theme was amazing.
I thought it was a normal episode, but it was not bad, it had some great little details here and there that with a better main story, and with a less douche Rainbow Dash could have made a great episode.

BTW the only good things about rainbow dash in this episode were the spiderman phrases she said before saving people.

She's gotten pretty easy to hate TBQH

Anyone with half a brain saw that plot twist coming. Even so, watching Rainbow Crap put in her place is always worth it.
even more reason to hate her

One thing I really liked about this episode was how Rainbow Dash's hair colour wasn't fixed when the camera rotated around her head. Her hair would have looked the same from every angle in a lesser cartoon or animu!

No Rainbow Dash, no need for Rarity to get wings to go to Cloudsdale, no need for her to get rescued.

No Rainbow Dash, no Twilight becoming Celestia's student, Nightmare Moon wins, everyone dies.

What if the moon were made of cake though? Maybe that's why Nightmare Moon stayed up there for a thousand years!

How do plants grow in eternal night?
Although I suppose the ponies could just turn into carnivores.
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
Most plants don't get to photosynthesise so they die.
Ponies die of starvati-
awww that's no fun
the ponies control the seasons... they control the freaking ecosystem
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
But they don't control the day-night cycle. No amount of season-changing will help photoautotrophs build ATP.
get the magic ponies to create artificial suns or something....
the only thing they have to worry about is vitamin D deficiency!

Not to mention they'd all freeze to death.

Just caught up. This episode was solid. Loved the little Batman TAS nod, the strangely coincidental Darkwing Dark similarity with the costume. I imagine a fan is totally going to cook up "Dash Caps" now.
I was surprised to see so many new things about Ponyville society shown like Construction crews and their Hydroelectric dam.

Thanks, I wonder if that movie is worth watching?

I don't see it as hypocritical since they did hide their identity and didn't stick around afterwards to gloat about it like Dash did. Heroes can be celebrated but they're not perfect.
If it weren't for the others her boastfulness would of injured a whole bunch of ponies(cart over the cliff, 4/5 construction ponies, & dam damage). It wasn't ego-destroying, it was ego fixing. Dash's arrogance was getting out of hand and they reign it in before it got out of control. As for Trixie she was just a braggart who couldn't cash the checks her mouth wrote(Ursa Major). The two episodes are similar but Dash accomplished something vs. Trixie's nothing.

season has been going poorly for a few episodes, in my opinion =\ It's starting to feel less like a show I enjoy watching for the awesomeness (like Adventure Time) and more like a kids show that I probably shouldn't watch but will when I'm bored anyways (also there's a moral that's shoved down your throat.)
It's so strange, it's like after sisterhooves social (or even before it depending on your point of view), Hasbro execs just stepped in and said MORE MORALS AND TOY PIMPING. GRAR.
At least the animation is still incredible/browsing screencaps provides more entertainment than the episode itself

This.
Puts her place too. She needs to eat that pie, especially when that self insert twit pretty much cemented my resentment in the Cutie Mark Chronicles episode of being the "source" of everything.
Honestly, I liked that episode. Rainbow Dash got into it waaaay too much, she needed a damper.
As for people complaining of Mare-do-well showing up at the parade, of course she did. Why wouldn't they, the setup is to upstage Rainbow Dash. Don't worry, she can take it, it was all her own fault. A good hero would team up, not try to outdo and dismask his fellow champion. Villains make such plans.
So yeah, Dash deserved this thoroughly.
Another who would need a headwashing are the citicens though. Seriously, falling into this stupid overhype mode. Would go to the heads of almost everypony. They need to keep hype in check.
So there

I liked it, too! And I sense some kind of overarcing theme here, almost every ep this season featured how a pony's characteristic faults are blown up enormously. If this keeps up, I can't wait for the Pinkie Episode. Well, the Rarity-centric ep last time (which still is one of my favourites of the whole show) didn't follow that pretext, so I might be totally wrong with all of this.

The theme of the season so far is everyone's fucking crazy. I'm okay with that.
Saving the world twice over can be stressful, I'd imagine. Especially the whole Discord thing.
Seriously, though, I liked this episode. Then again, I like superheroes, and Mare-do-Well had a great costume, even if it looked quite a bit like Darkwing Duck. (When there's trouble you call MW?) It is kind of an overcomplicated plan just to mess with Rainbow, though, but it was fun. Plus, I see the lesson not as a rethread of Boast Busters, but a much more simple one: "If you want to be a hero, do it to help people, and not for fame and glory." It's a classic one, several superheroes have fallen into this (or leaped into it on purpose) and it's a good lesson overall.
