I thought it was that one episode called wonderbolts academy in season 3 where one of the feathers in her wings got clip or something i might be wrong tho
@@thana_xx480 I thought she bruised it, since her aim to dive was off and she hit the log with her wing. Unlike Lightning Dust who aimed perfectly at the hole to grab the flag. (This is all from memory)
I have a feeling that Angel Wings switches out her "two favorite ponies in all of Equestria" more often than Spitfire switches out her whistles, but that was a very cute and adorable episode that was certainly nothing to sneeze at (although it could have used a few more Vapor Trail sneezes).
I can't be the only one shipping Sky Stinger and Vapor Trails because they're way too adorable to be "just friends." I'M SHIPPING THEM SO HARD IT HURTS
I think that the 'wings falling off'-joke is a play on a story about Rainbow. Apparently she once wrote her name on her wings, in case they fell off from her flying so fast... Can't remember, who told me that, though
10:45 Finally! We get a good explanation in the show to why ponies like Scootaloo can't fly. It's Scoots' lack of confidence. Took you long enough writers! xD
I like how those portraits on the wall of the classroom have the Wonderbolts in dignified poses aside from Dash with her big grin. It just seems so fitting in a way I can't quite put into words.
36:36 Somepony really needs to introduce Vapor Trail to Scootaloo :> I wonder if she could fly with Vapor's boost similarly to how Sky Stinger did :> As for T-Sparks and Dashinator... if the latter is a reference to Terminator, then the former must be a reference to T-1000 from the same movie :q I wonder if Twilight Sparkle knows any spell to turn herself into liquid metal?... :P
I knew it! I knew Angel Wings was a fan-created character that got to appear in the show! I suspected it when I first saw this episode. I didn't know it was by someone in the Make-a-Wish Foundation though.
i love vapor trail because it sounds like the person who does her voice is the same person who voiced one of the dogs in the movie the secret life of pets and at a lot of moments she reminds me of myself and how i would act around rainbow but less shy considering rainbow dash is my favorite character.
8:11 to 8:16 Top Gun reference, Goose and Maverick boasting that their names will be on the wall of Top Gun, next Top Gun reference is from 22:54 when Sky and Vapor said that they could be each others wingman, this is reference to the final dogfight where Ice and Maverick the same thing
I dunno. I swear I've heard that voice before, from some other character on some other show, but I just can't place it. Sounds a little bit like Brenda Song, but I doubt that's who it was, too high-profile for us to not hear about it ahead of time.
13:13 I actually find that relatable. I've spent a little too much time with my parents and not enough of it with other close friends and family of mine.
NerfStrangerX, the commenters have spoken. XD But really though, when did I become a "big" reactor? I'm glad people like my stuff of course, just no idea why I'm so popular. My friends think it's the hat. ^_^;
6:43 - Is that an homage to Michelangelo's famous anatomical drawing? 7:15 - T-Sparks and the Dashinator??? I've always wondered how the Blue Angels feel about the Wonder Bolts. Surely someone has told them!
Even though this episode wasn't focused on a location that we've never been to, this still turned out to be a great map episode. I kinda sensed a pattern with a few male ponies this season(Quibble Pants, Zephyr Breeze and Sky Stinger). These three were written as characters that we couldn't stand at the beginning and then they become more tolerable in(some of) our eyes near the end. Yeah, I kinda want Lightning Dust to return for a chance to be redeemed in some way, maybe in S7. Your story about "Make a Wish" was interesting, thanks for sharing that with us.
If you look closely @ 20:42 when Vapor Trail and Star Stinger make up, the hug Vapor gives Star Stinger, she is stroking his flank with a very happy look on her face.
I fully agree with you avoiding all the leaked previews of the end of this season. I do the same thing! 2:26 Yet another time shift. (we had a Christmas episode in May; now a 'spring training' reference during MLB postseason! 2:33 Not sure which Wonderbolt RD is talking to here. 2:43 I agree, RD! That's Spitfire's calling. But she ... 2:45 looks elegant here! Wow! 2:50 RD! You can't fumble! Come on! 3:03 Oh, WOW! Mini-test! Can Rainbow Dash fly faster than her "projected cutie mark"? 3:05 I am just as shocked! 3:06 And her C.M. wins the race by a second! 3:16 That's refreshing (and opposite to RD's emotions before she and Pinkie went to Griffinstone)! 3:22 The 'not exactly' is... 3:23 ... I'm coming with you to where you just left. 3:27 That's "Rainbow Dash-lish" for 'Oh, come on!' 3:30 And the fanbase laughs at another funny moment involving the map! I still like Spike's first one: "Yawn. Is that new?" 4:02 Something unnerves me about seeing Lightning Dust again... 4:19 That orange pegasi reminds me of the Vegas pony Goldmane... a relative? 4:34 I expected Spitfire to answer her third question with a yell. Spitfire's bluntness! Is this wingless pony in the hall of fame? 4:37 What an accent! 4:48 Just like Wonderbolt Academy and another homage to R. Lee Ermey! 4:53 Methinks RD and Twilight could've waited until Spitfire dismissed the recruit class? 4:56 For this reason alone! Starstruck! 5:04 a) uh, NO! b) Ha ha, you're overthinking Spitfire's Q&A and c) I thought they were stunned for Princess Twilight! 5:12 You may put your eyes back in your head and MOVE IT, NEWB! She isn't Wonderbolt material! 5:18 OK, awkward fangirl! You can get an autograph later. MOVE IT, MOVE IT, MOVE IT! 5:22 Spitfire and I are of the same mind! 5:25 It's really good to see some professional greeting! Brohoof to you, Spitfire! 5:27 I wouldn't have known this. Brohoof to the writers for supporting a noble institution! 5:49 THAT look from Twilight is speaking volumes! Like: We're not here to do Spitfire's job (fresh-mare technique) for her, RD! 6:056:06 Oh, HAHAHA! Get a load of Twilight's eyes! To a lesser degree, it's like her eyes from the sea three finale! Where was the "Squee"? I can't remember hearing the Squee all season? Missed opportunity! 6:31 I agree with you, Applegeek. And lesson one? Breaking! 6:33 I agree with Spitfire! 6:40 Princess Twilight is FAST! 6:42 OMG! Twilight HAD to have looked up Leonardo Da Vinci! I dub this 'Vitruvian Pony' (why wasn't the pony "spread-eagle'd"?) 6:45 Yet another adorable Twilight smile and NO Squee? Come on! 6:55 It's the air horn that Princess (Dean) Cadence had in EQG3! 6:58 Was that residual ear ringing? Whoa. 7:01 Typical 'morning phrase'! 7:06 Turn Down For What! 7:19 Wait, WHAT? You two are teachers; not a rap group! (The fandom will go nuts merging those rappers with DJ Pinkie Pie and Vinyl in their art!) 7:21 The Dashinator brings ALL THE LOL'Z! Princess Twilight is not amused! 7:34 Is this the next 'arrogant pony on campus'? 7:39 We've met Sky Stinger for only two minutes and already I'm not liking his "Trixie-like" bravado! 7:42 uh, no! You're a new pony! 7:48 Huh, 550 Feet-per-second. But i haven't heard Sky's statistic from Hurricane Fluttershy: 'wing power' units. (Also, I think RD can be 20% FASTER than that. (She did so in Double Rainboom!) 7:50 OK, Vapor Trail strikes me as a Sky Stinger 'fan-roadie'. 8:07 Time to split up the dream team, I think! 8:14 You don't want that! Sky; did you not see "Fall Weather Friends?" And the caption rings true! 8:16 Up where, Sky? I just noticed RD's photo. Shouldn't her goggles be down? 8:18 Sky, you have a long way to go before you're on a level with RD! 8:27 Sky? Stop mugging next to Rainbow's photo! 8:38 This is just like Testing Testing 1,2,3! hey, Twilight. You should use RD's airhorn! 8:41 YES! 8:44 and you, RD, are setting a bad example! 8:57 I think Rainbow isn't a morning pony! 8:59 Except YOU! 9:26 I'm sensing the friendship problem! 9:41 These speed splits aren't anywhere as fast as RD's! 10:02 Wait... that's under-hoofed! 10:10 Yeah, you CAN'T do that, V.T.! 10:12 Seconded! 10:16 Did Twilight visualize those calculations a la Doctor Whooves in 'Slice of Life'? Either way, hahahaha! 10:20 oh, Twilight! 10:30 The dream team needs to shine INDIVIDUALLY! 10:38 What? I didn't catch the 'warring' solutions! 10:50 Your math is off, RD! 11:09 a) No, you didn't b) ask before you take that towel! 11:14 And Sky treats her crutch like an inferior. Boo! 11:26 Angel Wings? Nice name, but I think she needs some confidence and will! 11:31 Yes, yes you do, Spitfire! 11:38 Brashness aside; Vapor trail needs to stop being like a doormat! 11:43 New geography! 11:46 A dubious and "EWWW"ful honor. 11:47 No, I like fluttershy's sneeze better! 11:49 Sky? Ick!! 11:53 This conversation is awkward! 12:05 RD! You don't hoof-block the truth! 12:19 If I can't speak, Rainbow; I'll levitate you away from my mouth! 12:23 "You sure about that?" Your Pinkie Pie-nervous eyes say otherwise! 12:39 Yeah, you won't be ALLOWED to let that happen! 12:42 HEY! That's not a curse word, it's Applejack's 'familial' term of kindness! 12:51 Good. History often leads to a cause. Flashback time. 12:55 Groan! The 'middle sibling/monkey in the middle' problem. 13:07 Uhh, I'm a bit creeped out at Vapor Trail's mother. She's like the overly-"doting" mother type. 13:13 Helicopter parents, much? 13:17 I think Sky and Vapor's problems could've been solved with some 'parental affection' adjustment: Sky needed quality time w/ his dad. Vapor needed encouragement from her 'rents to be a bit more independent. 13:26 They meet, and the deception begins. This is only a band-aid! 13:35 I have to give a brohoof to the animators. Two more adorable fillies! 13:43 Gee, talk about following in Lightning Dust's "vapor trail" [bah-dump-tchhh!] Vapor; you're going to HAVE to stop being crutches for each other! 13:56 Yes, you can stay friends. You just need to let each other fly on your OWN! 14:14 An excellent question, Twilight! 14:19 This is like a theme from "Half-Blood prince". Sky and Vapor's attachment is like 'unrequited love and the mated despair.' [BTW: I DON'T SHIP anypony. I'm just bringing up a parallel. Their attachment is like a harmful disease. They need to give each other space - while staying friendly] 14:27 Please don't draw out the truth-telling like what teen AJ did last week!! 14:38 RD, stop rubbing it in! 14:46 Uh, Twilight, you can say 'tea'. You had that stuff with Princess Celestia @ the start of "a bird in the hoof"! 15:02 Interesting. Flying lessons from a princess! I am intrigued! *puts hoof to chin a la Dr. Whooves in EP 100* 15:12 SKY! You ruined some good guitar music with that lame gimmick! (Is there a written test as part of the evaluation?) 15:15 You won't like Princess Twilight when she's angry! It's Face (reference)book time! 15:26 Perhaps a few less revolutions, Vapor? 15:37 If Spike is watching this, he's wincing as much as I am! OW! 15:43 RD? Cloud carving might not be a good tactic to teach Vapor how to fly on her own! 15:48 Or it migh--yeah, she idolizes Sky too much! Still, good turns, Vapor! 15:52 Oh yeah, the cloud generator machine! 15:56 More Power! 16:16 There we go! Vapor has confidence! 16:19 Don't be making that a habit-your hooves will thank me later! 16:43 Look closer, Sky. Those are fail marks! 16:45 You are so conceited! 17:06 Brutal honesty! Finally! 17:07 Awkward smiles are awkward! hee-hee-hee! 17:25 Oh, THIS won't end well! 17:34 The truth hurts, don't it, Sky? 18:02 Yeah, you're overblowing things! 18:17 Yes, RD. They're still mad! 18:44 New wrinkle? I thought they had to recover off the Dizzitron - or are the netponies with the infirmary? 19:04 OK. Let's do this! 19:34 UH, not! Seeing as you're a COLT; you can't be Princess of anything! 19:56 What does Vapor want for HERSELF? 20:33 Help each other shine INDEPENDENTLY. And good show from the bearer of Loyalty! 20:37 What? RD! 20:41 I see your brohoof and I will raise you a full-out hug! 20:44 That's how you two sis-hoof! 20:54 ♪Oh, Sky knows that she's found herself a cheer-lead-er!♪ 21:08 Nice! Assisting via tips! 21:13 Oh, slick moves! 21:33 Vapor Trail has a Fluttershy-esque d'awww face! 21:41 The time is withheld? OK. 21:48 Uh, Recruit? I need to concentrate on her evaluation? 21:54 She lands BEFORE the cloud forms! She's Fast and she wants a leader's badge! 22:08 They actually do... I like that split-screen. 22:13 Good breaking...22:15 you two could've hoofbumped here-you keep it professional. Nice. 22:55 YEAH! 22:27 Spitfire is like 'You want to not celebrate on the runway where you could be run over?' 22:35 Spitfire? You're talking to two ponies who saved your academy FIVE TIMES OVER! You SO don't 'nickname-diss' RD in front of the Princess! Low blow! 22:40 Props to RD for using Twilight's line from Party Pooped! 22:47 How rapid does Angel Wing's hero allegiance shift? Has she heard of a 'network' of heroes? 22:49 OH! RD mimics Spitfire and SHOTS FIRED! 22:50 Angel Wing! Give Rainbow 50 laps for a displaced-hero penalty. NOW! 22:58 Grr... Sky! Your medallions aren't color coded yet! Drop the competitive! 23:08 I quote Ethan Hunt from M:I:4 "Mission Accomplished!" 23:10 And so does Applegeek! 23:37 I was wondering who RD was talking to in the intro. Hey Misty? Let RD catch some shut-eye! 23:47 GRRR! Did you two (Twilight and Misty Fly) PLAN THIS ?!?!?! That's very uncool! A good episode! (BTW, your 'filly Applejack with a milkshake' shirt is d'awwwdorable!)
At the end, regarding Spitfire's line, if I were Rainbow, I'd say her line and add with a serious face, "Let's just see them try a Sonic Rainboom. Then we'll see how good they are." 😒
Hehe, yeah. I kinda wanted to see Rainbow Dash have a little race with Sky Stinger, but honestly, I think she would've crushed his spirit, because he wasn't anywhere near her level. Actually have to commend Dash for not doing that, because in the past, I suspect she totally would have, but now she's a bit more mature and recognized that it would ruin his confidence.
That's what I love about how much Rainbow has grown. Of course, there are a few episodes I hate that bring her back to the way she was in season one. For example, Rainbow Falls. Hate rage that whole episode. I really hope the writers keep up with the "new" Rainbow Dash.
5:50 I also laughed at the sound effect there, it was really fitting. 6:43 Its Twilight when it comes to teaching, better not question it. she also did it in the episode ''The Hooffields and McColts'' 9:26 He was hamming it up so much here that I though; 'he actually sucks doesn't he?'' 10:08 Aaand I was right. 11:48 Fluttershy's still better in ''Green isn't your colour'' 12:15 I see no one else there!!! 15:34 This made me think off of a past in a Dragonball Z episode, where King Kai hangs a lot of weights on Goku. 17:07 oh man, I laughed so hard at Twi's face right there, and now watching it back again, it still makes me laugh. 19:35 close enough. 23:23 How'd you guess? 27:36 Sorry to hear that Applegeek, I too had family members fall away by diseases and such. I sorta know the feeling and is never fun. 38:42 yeah, but only because he thought he was doing all of those things by himself and didn't notice he was being helped.
Applegeek, you are one really cool person. Like, your reactions and commentary are always great, but you yourself are just a really cool person. You in conjunction with the show remind me to be thoughtful and considerate more often in any situation. You're cool man.
Heh, well, that's okay, it's those that aren't particularly special that have the most potential to impact the lives of others the most. (Don't quote me on that...It sounds nice though) There's value in being a normal person... You've definitely encouraged me. :1
i'm definitely wanna see vapor and fluttershy meeting xD its just gonna be a quiet -non talking- meeting tho :D but still i wanna see flutter shy's react to another shy pony! and this is my first comment in youtube, i'm not used to watch videos in here,and sadly there is almost no brony in our country so i guess i just needed to watch another brony react to mlp.and honestly that was an amazing experience.i watched the whole S6 reaction in 1 week :D and i wanted to thank you for the time that you spend to do this as great as it is. cant wait to watch your reacts to S7 :)
I can already feel the onset of the after season blues. happens everytime the season nears its end. Im just glad we have such an active fan community to keep us entertained with videos, reactions, fan animations. art and fanfics. even if my own writing enthusiasm drops to a low during the blues >_> Well, next time the finale. looking forward to your reaction on that.
I'm actually looking forward to a bit of a break, because it's a lot of hard work to put out these videos. ^_^ I still have plenty of things to do for content though, so it won't be much of a break.
Also. likely I'm sure the girl did get to see the episode with her OC on it. They might have let her have a private viewing of the episode once it was finished being edited and what not.
Damn you! (in a good way) I don't get teary eyed hearing reactions and commentary! Ahhh... anyways. Excelente reaction as always :D. And knowing the fact about Angelwings just made the ep a ton better (and it was already awesome). You keep doing your stuff! And as alot of people here have said, can't wait for your reaction of the finale :D Cheers!
Angel wings: You don't think rainbow dash was the one who's wings fell off...right? I don't know if that was supposed to be funny or if that was a reference to the fake wing on RD in the season 5 finale. XD
Rainbow also lost her wings in Return of Harmony thanks to Discord, and in an issue of the comics her wings were once stolen in her sleep by some unicorns trying (in vain) to brew an alicornification potion.
By the way, since you watched not an episode from Discovery Family this time, it was a European version which had the scene of RD mentioning about catching up with cider cut in the very end of the episode (she mentions only Daring Do there in this version), because they think cider can be only alcoholic XD
4:45 - I once saw a "Military Bronies React To... " that involved Spitfire. They said she wasn't nearly scary enough. She seems scary to me! 5:27 - When you say she's from the Make-a-Wish Foundation do you mean she works for them or that she's seriously ill herself? (the former, I hope!)
When he mentioned the lego pirate ship I teared up a bit since in 2017 on saint Patrick's day my Great grandma died. And recently my grandma (GG's daughter) sent me some legos that GG would put together with my dad when he was little and among them was a pirate ship made of legos and it reminded me of her when he mentioned that. R.i.p GG and AG's brother let your souls be at peace for all eternity
1 more thing saint Patrick's day is both favorite and least favorite holiday because of this as in I look forward to it but I am sad when it comes around
This episode was amazing and definitely one of my favorites this season. I do think that the moral could easily be misunderstood though. Sky Stinger didn't practice when Vapor Trail was helping him since he thought he didn't need it. So we can only assume that the last time he actually practiced was when he was a colt and hadn't met Vapor yet. So when Vapor told Sky the truth, it would make sense for him to only be a little better than when he was a colt even with his confidence back. But then he goes from being only a little better than when he was a colt, to being a leader in the Wonderbolts Academy in one day. Vapor only needed to work on her confidence in front of other ponies, and while that might be almost impossible to do in a day with ponies as for example Fluttershy, Vapor's lack of confidence in front of other ponies seemed to be very little, so it makes sense that she could be confident enough to be a leader in the Wonderbolts Academy in one day (She would probably still lack a little confidence, but she would have enough to be a leader). But Sky, as I mentioned, wouldn't be able to get that good at flying in just one day. I can easily see the moral being misunderstood as "If you realize what you're doing wrong and have friends to help you get it right, you will get it right almost instantly" by younger viewers. It would have been better in my opinion to have Vapor be a leader and Sky a wingpony to show that you need to work hard to achieve your goal. Vapor did pay a lot of attention in class as Twilight also mentioned. She knew exactly where to blow wind at Sky so he would get a boost in the right direction. I don't doubt that she was one of the fillies/colts in her school who trained and studied the most to get better at flying, and she's been training and keeping her wings in good shape ever since she met Sky and started helping him. She had already trained and worked really hard to achieve her goal. Anyways, other than that, this episode was amazing :D Vapor is definitely one of, if not my favorite character introduced this season. She is just so adorable xD
Very interesting analysis of the characters. And yeah, she is adorable. Honestly, it's kind of deja vu, because in episode 24 of season 5, we got Coloratura, and now in episode 24 of season 6, we get Vapor Trail, both of which became instantly popular characters in the fandom. Like I said, I think it would be awesome to have an episode where we see an army of all the popular spotlighted secondary characters throughout the seasons. I can't imagine what it would cost to produce such an episode though, what with all the voice actors they'd have to pay...
when you said the sad speech on 27:27 to 27:31 I feel bad for you, my grandad's dad died a few years ago, I was about 7 yrs old,he'll always be in my heart, I love it when he gave me and my cousin chocolate when we see him, I wish my baby cousin could see him.
i didn't notice before, but we saw two of the washouts(from s8) in this episode i think, i know for sure the short red one is one but was the purple one a washout also, i actually forget
I think it's awesome that RD told the students to call her The "Dashienator". This may not be the case, but I feel like it's a shout out to the brony "Dashienator" who committed suicide back in July. R.I.P Dashienator, Applegeek's brother and Angel Wings.
This was a nice episode. I didn't even notice that the filly in Sky Stinger's family may have been Lightning Dust until you mentioned that. That's interesting. That would mean Sky is older than Rainbow Dash, since I think Lightning and her are the same age? So maybe he applied to join the Academy late? I dunno. Just interesting observation. And I did sense a little bit of a romantic undertone with Vapor Trail and Sky. She seems really smitten with him. And Angel Wings, that was cool to learn. I did sense that something was a little of about her, her design and voice was not smooth as the other characters, but learning that this was Make-a-Wish Foundation character answers that and it's nice that the young girl got to have her pony on the show. I do want Lightning Dust to come back. She wasn't really a villain. She was an antagonist, very reckless and careless, but she wasn't evil. She was driven to the point of disregard to others, which is by no means good or acceptable. But she has so much potential I'd like to see her compensate for her misdeeds and mistakes and achieve her dream of being in the Bolts like Rainbow Dash, but we'll see. Maybe Season 7? I dunno. Nice commentary. Take care
Um...a LITTLE BIT of a romantic undertone? What episode were you watching? She was literally throwing herself at him, TWICE! XD Anyway, yeah, I think there's still plenty of opportunity for Lightning Dust to come back, really hoping for that as it's a good unfinished story thread for Rainbow Dash's character.
Lol. Yeah, I think is was pretty clear Vapor had a thing for Sky, falling on him like that twice (^w^) Don't know if Sky feels the same way but Vapor definitely appears to want to be more than friends And yeah, hopeful they'll bring Lightning Dust back cuz she's a great 'what if' of Rainbow if she didn't make friends. Plus, she's a great character. I think they'll bring her back like they did Trixie. But only time, right?
the whole wings falling off is a reference to when Rarity's lost her wings back in Sonic Rainboom Episode back in season 1.
Zen Hoof aOOOHH
OOOOOOH !!!
I'm a little concerned about the email address and the email address I have for the last couple of days
I just did random words
OOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!!!!!
@@hoqueshahidul8772 Lmao
Vapor Trail and Angel Wings have a design I love so much. They're so different yet they fit so well. I just love them.
Chicago Critic Gerald I thought the same
Chicago Critic Gerald Angel Wings and Vapor Trail?
More like Sky Stinger and Vapor Trail
And I love Sky.
5:08 Well actually Yeah Rainbow did have her wings detached from her body before... (Thanks Discord!)
Good point. She also lost a wing during the Crystal War in the alternate timeline. ^_^;
@@applegeek2597 I guess she just had to wing then :D
Discord is so amazing. Only he can force Rainbow to not fly.
I thought it was that one episode called wonderbolts academy in season 3 where one of the feathers in her wings got clip or something i might be wrong tho
@@thana_xx480 I thought she bruised it, since her aim to dive was off and she hit the log with her wing. Unlike Lightning Dust who aimed perfectly at the hole to grab the flag. (This is all from memory)
17:07 princess twilight's face cracked me up good
I have a feeling that Angel Wings switches out her "two favorite ponies in all of Equestria" more often than Spitfire switches out her whistles, but that was a very cute and adorable episode that was certainly nothing to sneeze at (although it could have used a few more Vapor Trail sneezes).
12:51 OH MY FREAKING GOD
lighting dust is sky stinger's little sister you can see her playing in the sand box!!!
I think the same
That makes sense.
The colors dont match though. Its not the same shades..
Yeah he can't be the Princess Of Flying.
1. He's a boy.
2. There already is one...
*rainbow dash*
Didn't stop spike.
That’s what I said
J
He can't be a princess because he's a boy. Dude this is male discrimination. It's so cruel. But yes Rainbow is a princess of flying.
@@princesslightningstrike4592 agreed but he can be the prince of flying tho :>
Twilight has so many meme & cute faces in this episode, case in point:
6:45
8:39
17:07
And her laugh at 23:45
I ABSOLUTELY ADORE that face Spitfire made when Dash said "HEY I HEARD THAT!!!"
Same
My favorite new characters from this episode are Vapor Trail and Angel Wings (the OC); both so adorable!
John Neal rafii
oma opa what
And my is Sky.
I can't be the only one shipping Sky Stinger and Vapor Trails because they're way too adorable to be "just friends."
I'M SHIPPING THEM SO HARD IT HURTS
I'm fine with them being just friends, but I can see them as a couple too. 😊
Yes. It would be amazing if their could be together.
@Seafoam Shimmer skyvapor sounds better
Guys and gals can be close friends
@@PullaWheellllll sounds a bit similar to skywarp from transformers tbh
I think that the 'wings falling off'-joke is a play on a story about Rainbow. Apparently she once wrote her name on her wings, in case they fell off from her flying so fast... Can't remember, who told me that, though
No I'm pretty sure it was that one episode called wonderbolts academy in season 3 where one of the feathers in her wings got clip or something
Tho i might be wrong
I can't believe I didn't realize we'd seen Short Fuse before. The Washouts did say they got kicked out of the Wonderbolts.
I just realized too!!! ( Thanks to this comment)
10:45 Finally! We get a good explanation in the show to why ponies like Scootaloo can't fly. It's Scoots' lack of confidence. Took you long enough writers! xD
Pffffft! Now if we could just get Vapor Trail to meet Scootaloo.....
The adorableness is deadly. :) Lots of grins for this episode.
I like how those portraits on the wall of the classroom have the Wonderbolts in dignified poses aside from Dash with her big grin.
It just seems so fitting in a way I can't quite put into words.
36:36 Somepony really needs to introduce Vapor Trail to Scootaloo :> I wonder if she could fly with Vapor's boost similarly to how Sky Stinger did :>
As for T-Sparks and Dashinator... if the latter is a reference to Terminator, then the former must be a reference to T-1000 from the same movie :q I wonder if Twilight Sparkle knows any spell to turn herself into liquid metal?... :P
Vapor Trail + Scootaloo........(eye twitches)........AUUUUGH, I'm simultaneously crying and screaming in joy at the thought of this!!!
That "wings falling off part" was I think a Sonic Rainboom reference.
I also thought that baby was Lightning Dust. The dude's contrail even has the same zigzag pattern as her, I think.
you didn't expect a map-episode? it's the last before the finale and T-Sparks and the Dashinator were the only ones left with a mission this season
+Fluttersass for the win! For some reason I had it in my head we were only getting two map episodes this season, dunno why. Just caught me off guard.
no problem :D but a great reaction
Fluttersass for the win! your profile pic tho... XD
I ship Sky Stinger and Vapor Trail all the way! Angel Wings was so kawaii!
Alex Braunberger Angel Wings is awesome
Vapor is a girl
Apperantly
I love this ship.
THE SHIPPING IN THIS EPISODE THO!!! QUEUE THE SHIPPING!!!
Twilight try to compete Rainbow in Best Faces Contest.
This needs to happen.
I have a question if there is no season 7 will you remain a brony
Ushiromiya Battler?
+Itachi17509 Me? My facebook is Ushiromiya Battler. Do I know you? :v
Recognized you profile pic from EqD, just coming by to say hi...i guess
I knew it! I knew Angel Wings was a fan-created character that got to appear in the show! I suspected it when I first saw this episode. I didn't know it was by someone in the Make-a-Wish Foundation though.
05:15 I Was Calling Her "The OC Pony" This Whole Damm Episode
8:40 sounds like the MEME horn
She's an alicorn and a bookworm. I'm not surprised that she went that fast. It's just like Pinkie, you can't question that
Good point. XD
4:59 That was almost a SWAG.MOV reference.
17:07 that face was funy! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😅😅🤣😂😅🤣😅😅
i laughed to hard.... 😖😖😣😣😫
TWILIGHT AND RAINBOW DASH'S FACES AT 17:03 😂😂😂
i love vapor trail because it sounds like the person who does her voice is the same person who voiced one of the dogs in the movie the secret life of pets and at a lot of moments she reminds me of myself and how i would act around rainbow but less shy considering rainbow dash is my favorite character.
Spitfire is one of the funniest characters sometimes
XD I love how rainbow dash is like "WE WERE JUST THERE!! *flops*" oh poor rainbow dash pffft
8:11 to 8:16 Top Gun reference, Goose and Maverick boasting that their names will be on the wall of Top Gun, next Top Gun reference is from 22:54 when Sky and Vapor said that they could be each others wingman, this is reference to the final dogfight where Ice and Maverick the same thing
16:17
Whoa!!! Vapor's flip is awesome!!! Maybe, she's an Expert Martial Artist.
Who is vapor trail voice actor I love her voice so much
I dunno. I swear I've heard that voice before, from some other character on some other show, but I just can't place it. Sounds a little bit like Brenda Song, but I doubt that's who it was, too high-profile for us to not hear about it ahead of time.
Ikr same.
I love the color scheme too. Colors go great together with the voice
I don't know, but she sounds like Assistant Mayor Bellweather from Zootopia.
Applegeek guess we'll find out this Saturday :D
17:07 when you and your bff get caught talking in the middle of math class! :)
13:13 I actually find that relatable. I've spent a little too much time with my parents and not enough of it with other close friends and family of mine.
17:06 Those faces 😆
SO was the OC from Trade ya in Season 4, the pony in the wheel Chair.
+MLPDethDealr32 Yes.
Ok this is one of the funniest episodes I've ever seen
Hush finally a big reactor reacts to an early airing of an episode rather than wait for the legit air date like the rest. Liked
Ryan Millares Yeah, but atleast he is reacting in order... and not reacting to finale first..
True...
so im not a 'big reactor' i guess ? xDDD
i actually watched your reaction before coming here lol
NerfStrangerX, the commenters have spoken. XD But really though, when did I become a "big" reactor? I'm glad people like my stuff of course, just no idea why I'm so popular. My friends think it's the hat. ^_^;
You wanna hear a joke?
Two rocks are talking to eachother
Rocks can't talk
*eh?* xd?
Me: * laughs like pinkie *
Thanks Maud.
6:43 - Is that an homage to Michelangelo's famous anatomical drawing?
7:15 - T-Sparks and the Dashinator???
I've always wondered how the Blue Angels feel about the Wonder Bolts. Surely someone has told them!
4:30 - Maybe this could lead to a story about where the first Earth ponies came from. ;-)
22:48 look at Spitfies face like oooooooooh
Even though this episode wasn't focused on a location that we've never been to, this still turned out to be a great map episode. I kinda sensed a pattern with a few male ponies this season(Quibble Pants, Zephyr Breeze and Sky Stinger). These three were written as characters that we couldn't stand at the beginning and then they become more tolerable in(some of) our eyes near the end. Yeah, I kinda want Lightning Dust to return for a chance to be redeemed in some way, maybe in S7. Your story about "Make a Wish" was interesting, thanks for sharing that with us.
7:42 That dude accelerating to 500 feet in 2 seconds lol. While in no second prances rainbow accelerated to the speed of sound in like 2 frames.
Top Gun reference at a few places
If you look closely @ 20:42 when Vapor Trail and Star Stinger make up, the hug Vapor gives Star Stinger, she is stroking his flank with a very happy look on her face.
I fully agree with you avoiding all the leaked previews of the end of this season. I do the same thing!
2:26 Yet another time shift. (we had a Christmas episode in May; now a 'spring training' reference during MLB postseason!
2:33 Not sure which Wonderbolt RD is talking to here.
2:43 I agree, RD! That's Spitfire's calling. But she ... 2:45 looks elegant here! Wow! 2:50 RD! You can't fumble! Come on!
3:03 Oh, WOW! Mini-test! Can Rainbow Dash fly faster than her "projected cutie mark"? 3:05 I am just as shocked!
3:06 And her C.M. wins the race by a second! 3:16 That's refreshing (and opposite to RD's emotions before she and Pinkie went to Griffinstone)!
3:22 The 'not exactly' is... 3:23 ... I'm coming with you to where you just left. 3:27 That's "Rainbow Dash-lish" for 'Oh, come on!'
3:30 And the fanbase laughs at another funny moment involving the map! I still like Spike's first one: "Yawn. Is that new?"
4:02 Something unnerves me about seeing Lightning Dust again... 4:19 That orange pegasi reminds me of the Vegas pony Goldmane... a relative?
4:34 I expected Spitfire to answer her third question with a yell. Spitfire's bluntness! Is this wingless pony in the hall of fame?
4:37 What an accent! 4:48 Just like Wonderbolt Academy and another homage to R. Lee Ermey!
4:53 Methinks RD and Twilight could've waited until Spitfire dismissed the recruit class? 4:56 For this reason alone! Starstruck!
5:04 a) uh, NO! b) Ha ha, you're overthinking Spitfire's Q&A and c) I thought they were stunned for Princess Twilight!
5:12 You may put your eyes back in your head and MOVE IT, NEWB! She isn't Wonderbolt material!
5:18 OK, awkward fangirl! You can get an autograph later. MOVE IT, MOVE IT, MOVE IT! 5:22 Spitfire and I are of the same mind!
5:25 It's really good to see some professional greeting! Brohoof to you, Spitfire!
5:27 I wouldn't have known this. Brohoof to the writers for supporting a noble institution!
5:49 THAT look from Twilight is speaking volumes! Like: We're not here to do Spitfire's job (fresh-mare technique) for her, RD!
6:05 6:06 Oh, HAHAHA! Get a load of Twilight's eyes! To a lesser degree, it's like her eyes from the sea three finale!
Where was the "Squee"? I can't remember hearing the Squee all season? Missed opportunity!
6:31 I agree with you, Applegeek. And lesson one? Breaking! 6:33 I agree with Spitfire! 6:40 Princess Twilight is FAST!
6:42 OMG! Twilight HAD to have looked up Leonardo Da Vinci! I dub this 'Vitruvian Pony' (why wasn't the pony "spread-eagle'd"?)
6:45 Yet another adorable Twilight smile and NO Squee? Come on! 6:55 It's the air horn that Princess (Dean) Cadence had in EQG3!
6:58 Was that residual ear ringing? Whoa. 7:01 Typical 'morning phrase'! 7:06 Turn Down For What!
7:19 Wait, WHAT? You two are teachers; not a rap group!
(The fandom will go nuts merging those rappers with DJ Pinkie Pie and Vinyl in their art!)
7:21 The Dashinator brings ALL THE LOL'Z! Princess Twilight is not amused! 7:34 Is this the next 'arrogant pony on campus'?
7:39 We've met Sky Stinger for only two minutes and already I'm not liking his "Trixie-like" bravado! 7:42 uh, no! You're a new pony!
7:48 Huh, 550 Feet-per-second. But i haven't heard Sky's statistic from Hurricane Fluttershy: 'wing power' units.
(Also, I think RD can be 20% FASTER than that. (She did so in Double Rainboom!)
7:50 OK, Vapor Trail strikes me as a Sky Stinger 'fan-roadie'. 8:07 Time to split up the dream team, I think!
8:14 You don't want that! Sky; did you not see "Fall Weather Friends?" And the caption rings true!
8:16 Up where, Sky? I just noticed RD's photo. Shouldn't her goggles be down?
8:18 Sky, you have a long way to go before you're on a level with RD! 8:27 Sky? Stop mugging next to Rainbow's photo!
8:38 This is just like Testing Testing 1,2,3! hey, Twilight. You should use RD's airhorn! 8:41 YES!
8:44 and you, RD, are setting a bad example! 8:57 I think Rainbow isn't a morning pony! 8:59 Except YOU!
9:26 I'm sensing the friendship problem! 9:41 These speed splits aren't anywhere as fast as RD's!
10:02 Wait... that's under-hoofed! 10:10 Yeah, you CAN'T do that, V.T.! 10:12 Seconded!
10:16 Did Twilight visualize those calculations a la Doctor Whooves in 'Slice of Life'? Either way, hahahaha!
10:20 oh, Twilight! 10:30 The dream team needs to shine INDIVIDUALLY! 10:38 What? I didn't catch the 'warring' solutions!
10:50 Your math is off, RD! 11:09 a) No, you didn't b) ask before you take that towel!
11:14 And Sky treats her crutch like an inferior. Boo!
11:26 Angel Wings? Nice name, but I think she needs some confidence and will! 11:31 Yes, yes you do, Spitfire!
11:38 Brashness aside; Vapor trail needs to stop being like a doormat! 11:43 New geography!
11:46 A dubious and "EWWW"ful honor. 11:47 No, I like fluttershy's sneeze better! 11:49 Sky? Ick!! 11:53 This conversation is awkward!
12:05 RD! You don't hoof-block the truth! 12:19 If I can't speak, Rainbow; I'll levitate you away from my mouth!
12:23 "You sure about that?" Your Pinkie Pie-nervous eyes say otherwise!
12:39 Yeah, you won't be ALLOWED to let that happen! 12:42 HEY! That's not a curse word, it's Applejack's 'familial' term of kindness!
12:51 Good. History often leads to a cause. Flashback time. 12:55 Groan! The 'middle sibling/monkey in the middle' problem.
13:07 Uhh, I'm a bit creeped out at Vapor Trail's mother. She's like the overly-"doting" mother type.
13:13 Helicopter parents, much? 13:17 I think Sky and Vapor's problems could've been solved with some 'parental affection' adjustment:
Sky needed quality time w/ his dad. Vapor needed encouragement from her 'rents to be a bit more independent.
13:26 They meet, and the deception begins. This is only a band-aid! 13:35 I have to give a brohoof to the animators. Two more adorable fillies!
13:43 Gee, talk about following in Lightning Dust's "vapor trail" [bah-dump-tchhh!] Vapor; you're going to HAVE to stop being crutches for each other!
13:56 Yes, you can stay friends. You just need to let each other fly on your OWN!
14:14 An excellent question, Twilight!
14:19 This is like a theme from "Half-Blood prince". Sky and Vapor's attachment is like 'unrequited love and the mated despair.'
[BTW: I DON'T SHIP anypony. I'm just bringing up a parallel. Their attachment is like a harmful disease. They need to give each other space - while staying friendly]
14:27 Please don't draw out the truth-telling like what teen AJ did last week!! 14:38 RD, stop rubbing it in!
14:46 Uh, Twilight, you can say 'tea'. You had that stuff with Princess Celestia @ the start of "a bird in the hoof"!
15:02 Interesting. Flying lessons from a princess! I am intrigued! *puts hoof to chin a la Dr. Whooves in EP 100*
15:12 SKY! You ruined some good guitar music with that lame gimmick! (Is there a written test as part of the evaluation?)
15:15 You won't like Princess Twilight when she's angry! It's Face (reference)book time!
15:26 Perhaps a few less revolutions, Vapor? 15:37 If Spike is watching this, he's wincing as much as I am! OW!
15:43 RD? Cloud carving might not be a good tactic to teach Vapor how to fly on her own!
15:48 Or it migh--yeah, she idolizes Sky too much! Still, good turns, Vapor!
15:52 Oh yeah, the cloud generator machine! 15:56 More Power! 16:16 There we go! Vapor has confidence!
16:19 Don't be making that a habit-your hooves will thank me later! 16:43 Look closer, Sky. Those are fail marks!
16:45 You are so conceited! 17:06 Brutal honesty! Finally! 17:07 Awkward smiles are awkward! hee-hee-hee!
17:25 Oh, THIS won't end well! 17:34 The truth hurts, don't it, Sky?
18:02 Yeah, you're overblowing things! 18:17 Yes, RD. They're still mad!
18:44 New wrinkle? I thought they had to recover off the Dizzitron - or are the netponies with the infirmary?
19:04 OK. Let's do this! 19:34 UH, not! Seeing as you're a COLT; you can't be Princess of anything! 19:56 What does Vapor want for HERSELF?
20:33 Help each other shine INDEPENDENTLY. And good show from the bearer of Loyalty! 20:37 What? RD!
20:41 I see your brohoof and I will raise you a full-out hug! 20:44 That's how you two sis-hoof!
20:54 ♪Oh, Sky knows that she's found herself a cheer-lead-er!♪ 21:08 Nice! Assisting via tips! 21:13 Oh, slick moves!
21:33 Vapor Trail has a Fluttershy-esque d'awww face! 21:41 The time is withheld? OK. 21:48 Uh, Recruit? I need to concentrate on her evaluation?
21:54 She lands BEFORE the cloud forms! She's Fast and she wants a leader's badge!
22:08 They actually do... I like that split-screen. 22:13 Good breaking...22:15 you two could've hoofbumped here-you keep it professional. Nice.
22:55 YEAH! 22:27 Spitfire is like 'You want to not celebrate on the runway where you could be run over?'
22:35 Spitfire? You're talking to two ponies who saved your academy FIVE TIMES OVER! You SO don't 'nickname-diss' RD in front of the Princess! Low blow! 22:40 Props to RD for using Twilight's line from Party Pooped!
22:47 How rapid does Angel Wing's hero allegiance shift? Has she heard of a 'network' of heroes? 22:49 OH! RD mimics Spitfire and SHOTS FIRED!
22:50 Angel Wing! Give Rainbow 50 laps for a displaced-hero penalty. NOW! 22:58 Grr... Sky! Your medallions aren't color coded yet! Drop the competitive!
23:08 I quote Ethan Hunt from M:I:4 "Mission Accomplished!" 23:10 And so does Applegeek!
23:37 I was wondering who RD was talking to in the intro. Hey Misty? Let RD catch some shut-eye!
23:47 GRRR! Did you two (Twilight and Misty Fly) PLAN THIS ?!?!?! That's very uncool!
A good episode! (BTW, your 'filly Applejack with a milkshake' shirt is d'awwwdorable!)
Rainbow Dash: "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in"
🎵Highway To The Danger Zone
Ride Into The Danger Zone🎵
At the end, regarding Spitfire's line, if I were Rainbow, I'd say her line and add with a serious face, "Let's just see them try a Sonic Rainboom. Then we'll see how good they are." 😒
Hehe, yeah. I kinda wanted to see Rainbow Dash have a little race with Sky Stinger, but honestly, I think she would've crushed his spirit, because he wasn't anywhere near her level. Actually have to commend Dash for not doing that, because in the past, I suspect she totally would have, but now she's a bit more mature and recognized that it would ruin his confidence.
That's what I love about how much Rainbow has grown. Of course, there are a few episodes I hate that bring her back to the way she was in season one. For example, Rainbow Falls. Hate rage that whole episode. I really hope the writers keep up with the "new" Rainbow Dash.
I couldn't find the episode anywhere so I watched it along with you hahaha XD Awesome shirt btw ;)
5:50 I also laughed at the sound effect there, it was really fitting.
6:43 Its Twilight when it comes to teaching, better not question it. she also did it in the episode ''The Hooffields and McColts''
9:26 He was hamming it up so much here that I though; 'he actually sucks doesn't he?''
10:08 Aaand I was right.
11:48 Fluttershy's still better in ''Green isn't your colour''
12:15 I see no one else there!!!
15:34 This made me think off of a past in a Dragonball Z episode, where King Kai hangs a lot of weights on Goku.
17:07 oh man, I laughed so hard at Twi's face right there, and now watching it back again, it still makes me laugh.
19:35 close enough.
23:23 How'd you guess?
27:36 Sorry to hear that Applegeek, I too had family members fall away by diseases and such. I sorta know the feeling and is never fun.
38:42 yeah, but only because he thought he was doing all of those things by himself and didn't notice he was being helped.
17:07 - Hah, yeah, that did briefly flash through my mind as well, along with Rock Lee's leg weights in Naruto.
THAT WAS LIGHTNING DUST ! O_O
Applegeek, you are one really cool person. Like, your reactions and commentary are always great, but you yourself are just a really cool person. You in conjunction with the show remind me to be thoughtful and considerate more often in any situation. You're cool man.
Well, thank you! I'm not really anyone terribly special, but I'm always happy to hear when I've managed to encourage someone else. :D
Heh, well, that's okay, it's those that aren't particularly special that have the most potential to impact the lives of others the most. (Don't quote me on that...It sounds nice though) There's value in being a normal person... You've definitely encouraged me. :1
Your reactions are priceless 😂
So... flying is 20% skill and 70% confidence... what is the 10% that's left? Genetics? Wing size? Fitness?
Elderscrollsswimmer they said 30 percent..
You made this episode so much more fun to watch! c;
Skip to episode: 2:21
Woah a lot of people watched the episodes early i guess.
I had no idea about Angel Wings. But I'm so happy about that. I got a little teary.
i'm definitely wanna see vapor and fluttershy meeting xD its just gonna be a quiet -non talking- meeting tho :D but still i wanna see flutter shy's react to another shy pony! and this is my first comment in youtube, i'm not used to watch videos in here,and sadly there is almost no brony in our country so i guess i just needed to watch another brony react to mlp.and honestly that was an amazing experience.i watched the whole S6 reaction in 1 week :D and i wanted to thank you for the time that you spend to do this as great as it is. cant wait to watch your reacts to S7 :)
Lol twilights face when she heard that pony sky your not so good as you think you are!
LOL
I was kind of hoping when they landed at the end of their dual stunts that Sky and Vapor would have kissed. >w< It would have been too cute!
18:10 fear not this happens pretty much every map adventure
I can already feel the onset of the after season blues. happens everytime the season nears its end. Im just glad we have such an active fan community to keep us entertained with videos, reactions, fan animations. art and fanfics. even if my own writing enthusiasm drops to a low during the blues >_> Well, next time the finale. looking forward to your reaction on that.
I'm actually looking forward to a bit of a break, because it's a lot of hard work to put out these videos. ^_^ I still have plenty of things to do for content though, so it won't be much of a break.
Also. likely I'm sure the girl did get to see the episode with her OC on it. They might have let her have a private viewing of the episode once it was finished being edited and what not.
Damn you! (in a good way) I don't get teary eyed hearing reactions and commentary!
Ahhh... anyways. Excelente reaction as always :D. And knowing the fact about Angelwings just made the ep a ton better (and it was already awesome). You keep doing your stuff! And as alot of people here have said, can't wait for your reaction of the finale :D Cheers!
Heh, well thanks. And I'm sure you've seen my finale reaction by now, just catching up on comments. ;)
yah, saw it, and MAN i laughed xD so Thanks a lot :D Yoouz da ozomest!
I love Vapor Trail's voice btw
Angel wings: You don't think rainbow dash was the one who's wings fell off...right?
I don't know if that was supposed to be funny or if that was a reference to the fake wing on RD in the season 5 finale. XD
Ohh....! Good memory! (I totally forgot) XD
Rainbow also lost her wings in Return of Harmony thanks to Discord, and in an issue of the comics her wings were once stolen in her sleep by some unicorns trying (in vain) to brew an alicornification potion.
I also thought of that when she said that, glad I'm not the only one. XD.
Vincent Provost I didn't know RD had her wings stolen. Thats something i need to keep in mind.
It was rarity in the sonic rainboom episode.
By the way, since you watched not an episode from Discovery Family this time, it was a European version which had the scene of RD mentioning about catching up with cider cut in the very end of the episode (she mentions only Daring Do there in this version), because they think cider can be only alcoholic XD
AstrumSpark I
4:45 - I once saw a "Military Bronies React To... " that involved Spitfire. They said she wasn't nearly scary enough. She seems scary to me!
5:27 - When you say she's from the Make-a-Wish Foundation do you mean she works for them or that she's seriously ill herself? (the former, I hope!)
Dashienator...
I laugh when rainbow dash said hey I heard that
dude, you always wear your hat when reacting, i can't even imagine you doing your regular daily life stuff without it
The hat is magical! ^_^
I think that the voice actress that did Vapor Trail was also the voice of Bon Bon in the first seasons...
Wow! early reaction! XD!
Now you can react finale episode..
NOBODY SPOIL IT!!! Apple geek stay OUT of the comment section lol!!
*runs away*
Just do it! Applegeek! XD
*raise hand* no spoiler!!
Thank you to explain about Make A wish. Applegeek!.. i really dunno about that. :)
Always LOVE an MLP Pegasus episode! (since I am one, of course)
Soarin clipped his wings, when he became a Wonderbolt.
I like the air horn used on Rainbow.
When he mentioned the lego pirate ship I teared up a bit since in 2017 on saint Patrick's day my Great grandma died. And recently my grandma (GG's daughter) sent me some legos that GG would put together with my dad when he was little and among them was a pirate ship made of legos and it reminded me of her when he mentioned that. R.i.p GG and AG's brother let your souls be at peace for all eternity
1 more thing saint Patrick's day is both favorite and least favorite holiday because of this as in I look forward to it but I am sad when it comes around
wait if someone has a BIGGER EGO THAN RAINBOW ohh no its crushing meeeee ahhahhah!!!
At 12:08 there is a lightning dust poster in the background
This episode was amazing and definitely one of my favorites this season. I do think that the moral could easily be misunderstood though. Sky Stinger didn't practice when Vapor Trail was helping him since he thought he didn't need it. So we can only assume that the last time he actually practiced was when he was a colt and hadn't met Vapor yet. So when Vapor told Sky the truth, it would make sense for him to only be a little better than when he was a colt even with his confidence back. But then he goes from being only a little better than when he was a colt, to being a leader in the Wonderbolts Academy in one day.
Vapor only needed to work on her confidence in front of other ponies, and while that might be almost impossible to do in a day with ponies as for example Fluttershy, Vapor's lack of confidence in front of other ponies seemed to be very little, so it makes sense that she could be confident enough to be a leader in the Wonderbolts Academy in one day (She would probably still lack a little confidence, but she would have enough to be a leader). But Sky, as I mentioned, wouldn't be able to get that good at flying in just one day. I can easily see the moral being misunderstood as "If you realize what you're doing wrong and have friends to help you get it right, you will get it right almost instantly" by younger viewers. It would have been better in my opinion to have Vapor be a leader and Sky a wingpony to show that you need to work hard to achieve your goal. Vapor did pay a lot of attention in class as Twilight also mentioned. She knew exactly where to blow wind at Sky so he would get a boost in the right direction. I don't doubt that she was one of the fillies/colts in her school who trained and studied the most to get better at flying, and she's been training and keeping her wings in good shape ever since she met Sky and started helping him. She had already trained and worked really hard to achieve her goal. Anyways, other than that, this episode was amazing :D Vapor is definitely one of, if not my favorite character introduced this season. She is just so adorable xD
Very interesting analysis of the characters. And yeah, she is adorable. Honestly, it's kind of deja vu, because in episode 24 of season 5, we got Coloratura, and now in episode 24 of season 6, we get Vapor Trail, both of which became instantly popular characters in the fandom. Like I said, I think it would be awesome to have an episode where we see an army of all the popular spotlighted secondary characters throughout the seasons. I can't imagine what it would cost to produce such an episode though, what with all the voice actors they'd have to pay...
Applegeek I honestly don't know if the fandom could take something like that. It would be like a Slice of Life v2 XD
when you said the sad speech on 27:27 to 27:31 I feel bad for you, my grandad's dad died a few years ago, I was about 7 yrs old,he'll always be in my heart, I love it when he gave me and my cousin chocolate when we see him, I wish my baby cousin could see him.
i didn't notice before, but we saw two of the washouts(from s8) in this episode i think, i know for sure the short red one is one but was the purple one a washout also, i actually forget
¡¡¡That Twilight face!!!
Btw, love your reactions! :D
Thanks, glad you enjoy watching!
Did anyone else catch the Top Gun reference when Vapor and Sky said "You can be my wing pony anytime"?
Yes
I really like the designs of Vapor trail, Sky and Angel Wings.
Vapor the best.
I think it's awesome that RD told the students to call her The "Dashienator". This may not be the case, but I feel like it's a shout out to the brony "Dashienator" who committed suicide back in July. R.I.P Dashienator, Applegeek's brother and Angel Wings.
"Princess Of Flying" rulez xD!
LOL!
10:23 somepony was teaching the class
4:30/4:33Theyre talking about rairitys wings
6:43 Zipp from Gen 5? Pretty similar tbh I just noticed even tho I didn’t watch this when it was posted but whatever
17:07 Those faces whos is the funniest one?
7:16 I be like: Take notes for username ideas
This was a nice episode.
I didn't even notice that the filly in Sky Stinger's family may have been Lightning Dust until you mentioned that. That's interesting. That would mean Sky is older than Rainbow Dash, since I think Lightning and her are the same age? So maybe he applied to join the Academy late? I dunno. Just interesting observation.
And I did sense a little bit of a romantic undertone with Vapor Trail and Sky. She seems really smitten with him. And Angel Wings, that was cool to learn. I did sense that something was a little of about her, her design and voice was not smooth as the other characters, but learning that this was Make-a-Wish Foundation character answers that and it's nice that the young girl got to have her pony on the show.
I do want Lightning Dust to come back. She wasn't really a villain. She was an antagonist, very reckless and careless, but she wasn't evil. She was driven to the point of disregard to others, which is by no means good or acceptable. But she has so much potential I'd like to see her compensate for her misdeeds and mistakes and achieve her dream of being in the Bolts like Rainbow Dash, but we'll see. Maybe Season 7? I dunno.
Nice commentary. Take care
Um...a LITTLE BIT of a romantic undertone? What episode were you watching? She was literally throwing herself at him, TWICE! XD Anyway, yeah, I think there's still plenty of opportunity for Lightning Dust to come back, really hoping for that as it's a good unfinished story thread for Rainbow Dash's character.
Lol. Yeah, I think is was pretty clear Vapor had a thing for Sky, falling on him like that twice (^w^) Don't know if Sky feels the same way but Vapor definitely appears to want to be more than friends
And yeah, hopeful they'll bring Lightning Dust back cuz she's a great 'what if' of Rainbow if she didn't make friends. Plus, she's a great character. I think they'll bring her back like they did Trixie. But only time, right?
It seems a great thing for those young bronies who suffer the terrible internal illness to put there oc in episodes. I'm kinda touched.
