I've wondered why this spell isn't used more often, or why we never hear about this event again....wait...why does doctor whooves have wings?

Okay so the story is pretty much this; Rainbow Dash is going into a competition known as the young fliers competition. Only Fluttershy can go with her though, since only pegasi can walk on clouds. However through the use of two spells, the rest of the mane 6 are able to walk on clouds, and Rarity, through the use of the other spell, gets wings.

Now what do I think of the story? Well...it's pretty simple. Personally I don't care for the story that's in place here. Several things I do want to point is how she could do the Sonic rainboom, have thousands of ponies see it, even ponies in Manehatten and Canterlot, all as a foal, then it just disappears. As said by the 'bullies' it's just a myth, furthermore if the trick is that impressive, wouldn't rainbow dash only get better from there? These just seem like giant plot holes that don't make any sense. Also I do want to talk about the 'bulllies' for a second. For one why were they all bullying her in the first place? Another question, where we're the mares? Wouldn't they be in on the fun of making fun of Dashie? Why were they all guys? It's things like these that kind of remind me that this is a show for girls. The only thing I can think of is 'girl power!' yet it just feels wrong. I hate gender things like this, it's why I don't like some of the lines in ticket master. Applejack did say 'Aint that just like a boy' I absolutely cannot stand gender inequality.

On the other hoof, Animation is top notch and exceeds my expectation. The Sonic Rainboom and Rarity's wings look stunning.

The characters do seem to act like themselves which is exactly what I'd ask for in any episode.

The voice of everypony was quite nice and you can tell that a lot of the actors had fun with their lines.

Dialogue is okay. Like I said some lines do remind me of a kids show but most of the time it's alright.

So this episode, while many like it, I don't care for it all that much. Cannon wise it's a good episode but, it's just not my cup of tea. I can't talk much about this episode but it does add to another episode down the line a bit. Overall this episode was okay, I give this episode a 7.3 out of 10. I think it needs a bit more work. Well this has been Neo Reviews, thanks for reading!
