Here's a genuine question to this episode, so it actually belongs here XD.

Nothing that undoubtedly hasn't been said a million times over, whether here or elsewhere, but nonetheless, among all the confusion that this episode could have done....Rarity was actually someone I didn't get.

If the first half was that everyone's destinies were reversed, how is it that all Rarity is doing is messing with the weather? That's now Rainbow Dash's "destiny"....she got her cutie-mark when she performed the Sonic Rainboom, so I'm guessing it signifies her speed/personality. Her job as a weather pegasus in Ponyville, as far as I can always tell, was just this indefinite job...she likes it, given that she never seemed to have complained, but her dream was always to be with the Wonderbolts. It could be the reason she never complained was because her destiny was broad and simply signified her speed, and not necessarily a specific job - so she wasn't miserable that she has never been a Wonderbolt, or that this isn't her dream job....again, it's just a temporary thing until she fulfills her ambition.

Being the case, then how is it that Rarity wasn't zooming around Ponyville? No she doesn't have much for speed, or wings, but that could be the point...we could have seen Rarity hilariously trying to speed around the town and failing miserably. Instead, she's messing about with the weather when that doesn't have anything to do with Rainbow Dash's talent/destiny for speed.

And this is putting aside exactly what exactly the cutie-marks stand for and how far the whole "destiny" thing goes.
