I second the need for such a gif.

the idea of a hero Trixie (a least boastfull hero than Rainbow Dash, no less) is as far fetched as it can get, imo.
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.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.

It reminded me a lot of Superdickery, those old silver-age comics where Superman would create elaborate scheme to teach Lois or Jimmy some trivial lesson. Sure Rainbow Dash needed to be brought down a peg, but this was overkill. Not to mention the hypocrisy of doing this to teach Dash a lesson in humility, then going to attend the "Yay for Mare Do Well" celebration. Plus leading her on the wild goose chase at the end just to mess with her.
The Mane 6 seem to have pretty extreme reactions to just a bit of boasting. Dash gets a big head after being a legitimate hero and save the lives of a bunch of ponies? Create an elaborate ego-destroying scheme. Showmare hypes herself up for a magic show? Heckle her.
I love the Batman the animated series logo tribute they did.[/IMG]
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.
So new episode synopsis have been coming out regularly on Friday or Saturday. Nothing this week.
There may not be new ponies for Christmas

Man, the RBD haters are just getting mean....
Rainbow Dash saved Rarity's life in Sonic Rainboom. No Rainbow Dash, no sexy wet hair Rarity.
No Rainbow Dash, no need for Rarity to get wings to go to Cloudsdale, no need for her to get rescued.Rainbow Dash saved Rarity's life in Sonic Rainboom. No Rainbow Dash, no sexy wet hair Rarity.
Who's to say Rainbow Dash wasn't the reason Luna became Nightmare Moon in the first place?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!
why would endless night mean that everyone dies?
pretty sure real world biology doesn't have any bearings here
Most plants don't get to photosynthesise so they die.why would endless night mean that everyone dies?
awww that's no funpretty sure real world biology doesn't have any bearings here
How do plants grow in eternal night?
Although I suppose the ponies could just turn into carnivores.
But they don't control the day-night cycle. No amount of season-changing will help photoautotrophs build ATP.the ponies control the seasons... they control the freaking ecosystem

Anyone with half a brain saw that plot twist coming. Even so, watching Rainbow Crap put in her place is always worth it.
ticket master/applebuck/griffon & dog and pony/green isnt your colour/over a barrel for example.
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
