Talk:The Mysterious Mare Do Well/@comment-173.171.98.254-20130309022559

A lot of people are hating the little scheme Rainbow's friends came up with but the episode do not deserve so much hate. Even though people say Mare Do Well had malicious intent but personally I did not sense much malice the whole time. Instead, Mare Do Well was the example how a hero should act: doing good for the sake of good act and not for personal fame. Rainbow's friends wanted to set the example, not to crush Rainbow's ego. In fact, it was Rainbow herself who was bent on the rivalry which became her downfall. Exaggerated character sure, but this is how half the episodes are made anyway. Additionally, it was a good lesson for Rainbow to accept outcomes where others outperforms her. Fact is that in the incidents that Mare Do Well appears Rainbow tried and failed first. And I am rather glad it was her friends who taught her this so she can smile in the end and learn the lesson. If it was another mean character like Trixie or Lightning Dust who beats her for good then that wouldn't have been a pleasant lesson.
