Looks like AKR finally gets to do the rap song she didn't get in Cutie Pox

Also I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say this episode has a vague or subtle message about letting people learn in non conventional ways cause Dash has trouble with the traditional route. Not saying they're gonna go full after school special and give Dash a named learning disability, but there will be something in that ballpark

Probably not but I figure I should make a wild guess on the slim hope I'm right and then get to brag about it on my Tumblr.

It's not a bad guess, actually. If there's anyone who's going to have trouble with "conventional" cramming for an exam, it's Rainbow Dash...and Pinkie is about as UNconventional as it gets. On the other hand...

In any case, yes, this episode, assuming the song number tweet by Meghan way back when is 100% right (and it has been 100% right so far), will not have a song credit. It will just be like a 20 second thing probably. :pinkieshrug:

Something I understand Hub wants to hype up, but at the same time I kinda wish they would have left it silent.

The Hub loves playing up little jokes and other inconsequential things, things that will get attention. I'm really not concerned about it.

Well that pic has soured me on the episode already. :unenthused: I'm guessing that this episode will probably be like Filli Vanilli, really good with an intrusive and terrible Pinkie Pie.

I'm betting it'll be a "Rappin' Grannies" scenario, and the episode will be self-aware enough to know how terrible it is.

Is it possible that this image is from a scene that's actually clever, and not one that's awful, unfunny, and slightly offensive? Tune in to the Hub this Saturday! :nnngh:

Well 90s music was pretty cheesy at times, so if it's a parody of a 90s rap and aware of how cheesy it is, I think it'll be fun. Stupid, silly but fun, we will still cringe, but also oddly enjoy.

What if Nicepeter and Epiclloyd decide to do an Epic Rap Battles Of History between Princess Celestia and El Cid? :gotcha:

But seriously, it's probably going to be a 3 second joke and that's it. You shouldn't all start panicking over one picture.

Thanks for reminding me that there's no way this will be any worse than Epic Rap Battles of History!

Anyway I think people are overreacting and whatever this won't be that bad. It might not be great, but this isn't the 90s, people.

I'm still hoping against hope for a Rainbow Dash episode that's actually good. :grumpydash:

Right? Whether it's a two-sentence episode summary, a single promotional picture, or a 60-second teaser clip, the only way to know for sure is to watch the whole episode and get the full context. Anything else is just speculation. And while speculation can be nice (and sometimes correct), it'll only get you so far.


*Watches preview clip*

"What, they're bringing back Flutterguy? The show has now officially run out of original ideas. There's no way this can be good!" :-/



*Watches full episode, allowing for full context and full experience of the entire story*

"Wow, that was pretty good." :-I

Well...if you really want to panic about something, politics is a good place to get started. :-P

I wonder if we'll get more insight into how the Wonderbolts started in the first place ...probably via a flashback technique like Family Appreciation Day.
