I feel like that would've just turned this episode into shallow pre-finale filler, much like MMMystery on the Friendship Express and Games Ponies Play were. I know there are people who like those sorts of episodes, but I tend to find them rather boring compared to FiM's usual stories.

Since then, she's undergone such an impressive transformation and maturation-- remarkably, without losing who she is at heart-- that she's become my favorite of the bunch. So yeah, I don't really want Season 1 Rainbow Dash back.![]()
I mean, she's still the same pony. She's still arrogant and impatient. She still loves to win and finds losing tough to swallow-- this was at the root of her conflict in Rainbow Falls, even after she'd committed to flying for a losing team. But ever more, she's learning to recognize her negative traits, understand when they're starting to be a problem, and dial them back accordingly. This is a necessary first step to putting others ahead of herself, which is the essence of loyalty.
She still has progress to make, but I'd argue that since Season 1, Rainbow has grown into her element more dramatically than anyone in the Mane 6.

I'm saying they put butts in seats. They're doing something right, and clearly prove that a series of movies built around racing can be successful amongst a large audience.
