KEY THEORY CONFIRMED HOLY SHIT.
Rainbow eyes and rainbow fadeout? Thank you, mlp! THANK YOU for letting us know what you'll do when a key is discovered.
@Noqanky:
! The wonderbolts being jerks for the sake of the plot.
! I disagree, Tommy Oliver (a youtube analyst) made a lot of good points in relation to people saying the Wonderbolts were out of character:
! > Spitfire, was, being, Competitive.
Remember when we first saw Spitfire at the Gala, and Dash thought this was her chance to finally hang out with them? Well, it obviously wasn't because they weren't really there to hang out.
They're Equestria's fastest fliers and used that time to more likely gain sponsors and mingle with people who can actually offer them something.
If it was the other way around, we would have seen her talking with more Friend's And Dash more often.
Now, remember how in Wonderbolt's Academy when we thought her personalty took a 180? Well, it really didn't. She was a Drill Sergent.
It was her job to keep everyone on equal level of discipline and teach them everything they needed and make sure they had the ability to be Wonderbolt's.
In this episode, she's competing for the Equestria Games. This means their title, and everything the Wonderbolts stand for is on the line.
If there was ever a time to seize an opportunity to get a better competitor who you know is going to either perform at the same level or better than another, they have to take it.
If you don't believe that, you should really be keeping a better eye on the sports world, because that's where this drama and idea comes from in the first place.
The entirety of this episode has her completely in character, but people are so easy to jump on them just because she's being harsh.
Not even taking into consideration everything they could lose if they don't keep their status and title. Does that make them right? Well, that's entirely debatable.
But to me, they were just being and doing what they thought was for the greater good of the Wonderbolts. And it wasn't based on a "We need to take these guys down" situation, which was very refreshing.
