#2 4 6 greaaat

[leek-e]

This is my take on a human Smoulder! In her cheerleading outfit of course. She’s my favourite of the young six and I especially enjoy her role in 2, 4, 6, greaaat. The part where she confronts Rainbow Dash,,, ough.

I think the key considering factors in 2, 4, 6, Greaaat is

A) Rainbow Dash is an adhd-infested ball of energy

b) Twilight. made her do a job. that she knew nothing about. And told everyone she'd be doing it.

As the local autistic/adhd heathen, I find Rainbow to be a sympathetic character.

Everyone's general attitude towards her reminds me of when my friend. wanted be to get a hyperfixation on the thing they liked. And then got angry when I couldn't. do the thing. even though I have no control over it.

Rainbow Dash said multiple times she didn't know anything about cheerleading and that she knew more about buckball, and everyone just expected her to just. be able to coach them on enthusiasm alone. Which she didn't have. I honestly thought she'd just sit in her classroom window being sad the entire episode.

Yes her attitude was a bit cruel, but honestly everyone was focusing on the wrong thing, that being "Why?? Did Twilight?? Ask her to do a thing?? She had no obligation to do at all??" There are things you have to do even if you don't like them, but this is not one of them.

Also, while some people with adhd Can Do The Thing, it's obvious from the show and comics and. spin offs. Rainbow doesn't have a lot of that kind of control. She often needs help to Do The Thing or at least a Gentle Nudge like in Testing Testing 1,2. No one was really pushing her in the right direction and I don't even think anyone really explained why she should like or care about it other than "it hypes up the players" "we like it"?

I am reminded of Grannies Gone Wild and Rainbow Falls. Grannies Gone Wild was another example of "Rainbow has to do a thing she doesn't want to do and was kind of a train wreck the entire time", and I liked that one a lot because the problem to overcome was that Rainbow was worrying about the wrong thing the entire time and she's allowed to Have The Thing She Likes and also do the job and be interested in it. They showed her something to be interested in for the job she has to do and it gave her the motivation to Do The Thing. This is a tool some people with adhd will use to get themselves to do things, to find something that will give them Dopamine and then they can finish the task, which will result in More Happy Brain Chemicals. And Rainbow Falls was another situation of "Rainbow likes a thing, but no one cares and she has to care about the things They liked". I don't even need to explain it.

I was really wondering if they were going to get by cheerleading via "Rainbow's so excited about buckball she has to Physically Act It out". because that's what it felt like they were leading up to, because she's so hype for buckball.

Some "Mare do well" and "28 pranks later" energy is also present.

I wonder if Twilight is just actively tormenting Rainbow, with this and The End in Friend. like "lol look at this loser time to make an example of her"

Maybe if I watch it again i will enjoy it, Presently I'm just pondering it.

***SPOILERS FOR THIS WEEK'S SEASON 9 EPISODE!!!*** ...What? Just because I'm not into cheerleading doesn't mean I can't give it my all.... and accidentally set fire to Twilight's office in the process ^^; Jasper's ACTUAL Thoughts: ...I can't sugarcoat it - Rainbow Dash's attitude for most of the episode REALLY stank! I get it, I'm not crazy about cheerleading either.... but she could've at least TRY to care from the beginning. Even if she really does care for the kids, it kinda seems null when she has to get chewed out before she actually shows that she cares. And the ending when she praises the squad and says that "the game was just a sideshow" ....yeah, that sounded nicer in her head, but when you see how disappointed the players were when they lost the game... kinda doesn't make it any better (It probably could've if their team actually WON the game). I will admit, it is an effective way to teach the moral about how you don't need to care about something to help the people you DO care about... but a bad attitude is a bad attitude; and Twilight, honey, I appreciate you wanting to teach Dash a lesson about appreciation... but it kinda feels like you CAUSED a friendship problem to make it happen (Which as we learned from Lesson Zero is a BIIIG no-no!). That being said, there WERE some elements that I enjoyed from this episode - Celestia being a jock, Smolder telling Dash off, the follow-up from Common Ground with Snips cashing in on Buckball... just wish that could've been saved for a better episode.

2, 4, 6, Greaaat - Episode Reaction

More foreign early releases, I guess! I just wanna catch up before people give in to the inner spoiler imp inside them, so read these episode reactions at own risk if you still wait for the proper American release schedule.

Now let’s see what this one is about.

SPOILERS!!

Jocklestia is now canon.

Twilight’s face at Pinke XD

With as much extra screen time Snails now gets as a athlete, I always wonder about Snips. Then I remember how he acted last time he showed up to abuse his slow friend’s fame for profit and I care less.

Overly excited pegabirb enters stage.

Twi... Twi... you picked the jockiest of jocks among your friends to ever have jocked, for cheerleading? I’m kinda amused by this actually. Especially with cheerleader prof Pinkie cast as the coach instead.

Audio issues during themesong, and I’m not talking about my usual complaints about the visuals of the new intro never truly sync with the song’s pace. Hopefully it’s not a repeat issue through the episode beyond the themesong.

Also, another addition to the School of Friendship that kind of excludes non-pony students when you think about it.

I’m both surprised and accepting by Rainbow’s reaction to be declared cheer squad coach. Of course she appreciates cheerleaders more than let on now, she lives for attention and appreciations of her accomplishments. But as she said, her focus have always been on the accomplishments on the field, obviously never put much thought into the work cheer squads put into what hey do. Whiiiich still spells her as bad choice for this, beyond the joke. Twi, she can’t coach what she has no clue about.

Oh, there’s Snips.

At least they are consistent with his newfound hunger for profit, I can respect that. Dude got business sense.

Don’t lie, Smolder. You know you’ll look hella cute in a cheerleader outfit.

Awwwwww, Ocellus~

Aaand we got Dash phoning it in.

Yes, Dash is obviously being selfish on this, but it’s hard for her to fake interest in something she has no, well, interest in. It’s true to her character although definitely put in thick for this. Usually Dash would hate to let down other people needing her, but again this cris cross a lot against her actual interesting distracting her.

But also, really gonna go cliche with only female cheerleaders (Snips just on the side for merch)?

Aaand there she tries to smear it off onto somepony else.

Oh Snails.

Snails is killing it, going full guru. He gonna ascend!

I definitely like those new outfits rather than the dirt brown only the two ponies were wearing.

Still same day? How many hours already used on this!? Tho I dig Smolder’s frustrated expression with that line delivery XD

Yap, Smolder definitely looks hecka cute in a cheerleader skirt.

Damn, Rainbow.

Ya know things fiicked when Ocellus actually raises her voice. Except Dash.

“You are the most enthusiastic pony in all of Equestria, when it’s something YOU care about!” AAAAAND there you have it.

Behind upskirt view for Snips, I’m expecting pervy fan works of that, and you all know you do too.

I do wanna see Snips actually got himself a permit for making and selling this merch, but he sounds deep enough into it to made sure of it. I like he gets a chance too to show he’s not just a locale dumb redneck like in his first appearance, just like Snails.

I do like the dragon smoke machine thing they got going. Only drawback being it’s obviously not water based vapor.

OoOoOooooooooh.. I was wondering about a school for Gifted Unicorns were gonna make a diverse buckball team, I thought they (the writers) were just gonna fudge it and pretend out of nowhere they school also have pegasi and earth ponies studying different kinds of magic. But silly me, that would be too heavy a concept of diversity that the school could offer more than just unicorn lessons. But I do adore to see magic cancelling horn rings are now official canon and to see the return of those magic wings from the first season.

Jocklestia, we need a character blog of her being a real sports nut Chad.

Really do dig they made good use of Yona’s stomping powers instead of just telling her to stop stomping.

Very cute show ^u^

Unicorns really did out maneuver natural earth pony and pegasi? Okay it did beat the cliche of letting the side of the protags automatically win, but I got harder time buying this. Of course we don’t know how much extra time they been practicing before Celestia suggested a friendly game between the schools, only giving the Friendship team two weeks to catch up.

Yes, Imma be digging this new canon of competitive Celestia. She gonna make a cheersquad of her own now just to beat Rainbow Dash’s team.

Twilight, Rainbow caused two students to run off CRYING from failed practice because of her lack of care, before she learned her lesson.

Still a fairly cute episode, Dash was pouring it on a bit thick to a point of hurting others. But still somewhat true to her character that she can dismissive to a point of cruel when not interested in something she gets forced on her. Easy flaw for most, Dash can just be a bit too oblivious about it for her part.

I like they keep expanding the buckball concept, it’s an official sport now and now also got official schools teams competing outside the official leagues. Still got rules that although they can twist around them to allow a full unicorn team to play a three tribe role team, it still seems to exclude non-ponies. We need a sport that can be played across the boarders too.

Anyways, cute episode.

2, 4, 6, GREAAAT

It’s Buckball Season

Rainbow leads the cheerleaders

Neglects her duties

[gearbox97]

I’ve been getting caught up on mlp and the fact that Zecora contributes a rhyming dictionary to the cheer team is one of the best subtle jokes of the year.

[rantsaboutponies]

2, 4, 6, Greaaat

In this episode: Acting against one person’s best interests is okay as long as it’s in someone else’s! Sure, that makes sense.

“Two weeks doesn’t seem like a very long time to coach an entire team.” Yeah, we’re gonna need a montage.

Um...why do you want Rainbow Dash to teach the cheer squad? That seems like it’d be more Pinkie’s purview.

“Maybe this would be a good chance for you to find out.” Wh...she doesn’t have to. This isn’t required learning for Rainbow Dash. I really don’t understand why you think this is a bright idea. Also, if she’s not good at coaching and needs practice doing it, maybe you should give her a group that doesn’t have only two weeks to get it right.

And you’re giving her this team? Are you just fucking with her? That has to be it, right?

*fweet* Flag on the play! Appeal to authority! That’s your only warning, Snips!

“Uh, nothing?” Correct.

I’m not sure this performance is entirely Dash’s fault. I don’t think cheering to a slowed-down version of “La Bamba” would have been particularly easy for any squad to do.

Wow, they...really didn’t change up their routine much. How...impressive?

I mean...I understand the lesson here (if you’re given a responsibility, you can’t just ignore it, other people can like things that you don’t, etc.), but...this doesn’t seem like a very good way to present it. This is more a lesson about how sometimes you need to go behind upper management’s back to get anything accomplished because they usually don’t know what they’re doing. If the principal hires two teachers, one with a degree in history and one with a Ph.D in math, and assigns the history one to teach math and vice versa, their options should be either to tell the principal that they need to switch jobs or, if the principal won’t listen, to do it themselves. Sure, Dash made the cheer squad competent, but how much better do you think they would have been with Pinkie leading them? (Plus, the team might actually have won, but I know that isn’t the point.)

Holy shit, Twilight. What a cunt.

Episode score: Lose.

Season score (W-L-T): 1-2-12

Debating on whether or not i should listen to MAG179 before class or sleep in more.

[drwolf001]

I can really relate to Rainbow Dash wanting to have nothing to do with Cheerleading.  But...that doesn't really make for an enjoyable or even memorable episode...
