This again? Sorry, but I've seen this argument before a lot and it never made sense to me. It's basically saying "x character is my favorite so she should be the Alicorn princess because Twilight doesn't deserve it."

" I think she is far more intelligent than Twilight..."

While I agree that Dash is intelligent, I don't think she's more so than Twilight, or vice versa. My philosophy on that subject is that everyone is intelligent, just in different ways. Dash doesn't have the same kind of "intelligent" as Twilight, nor should she. It's what makes her unique. Twilight is more of the bookworm kind of intelligent while Dash is a bit more... physical. Like the kind of intelligent you would expect to find in an experienced athlete.

" figured a way all the way to Daring Do's home just with a map and marker..."

Is there any proof that she was the one who did that? Or if any of the girls did that? How do know the Mane 6 just traveled until they found the home? Oh, and the map and marker thing was just a gag.

" if she had a unicorn horn she would knock Twilight Sparkle out!"

No she wouldn't. Powerful unicorn magic doesn't come to you just because you have a horn. It takes lots of study and practice. I think we can all agree Rainbow wouldn't really like studying magic since, you know, "for eggheads".

"Rainbow Dash has stronger magic than Twilight, she should have been the Element of magic in this series."

But she clearly fits the Element of Loyalty way better. Yes, she has powerful magic, but I don't think that's the only criteria for bearing the Element of Magic. If it was, Discord (or any other powerful pony or even a villain) would be one of the best candidates for it.

"Rainbow cares about her friends far more than Twilight does,"

Do you have any proof that Twilight cares any less about her friends than Rainbow does?

"all Twilight does in a big situation is let her OCD take control of her while Rainbow goes in to help."

No, that is not what happens. Name one example where Twilight has let her anxiety get the best of her and Rainbow has solved the problem.

"Twilight has strong magic, but not like Dashies!"

Exactly. Neither does Dash have strong magic like Twilight.

"Remember the part with Rainbw racing Twilight Sparkle. Twilight could hardly get off the ground while Dashie was zipping away."

That has nothing to do with magic. It was a race. Purely based on athleticism, nothing more.

Okay, rant over. Sorry if I offended anyone, I just wanted to put this out there.
