Honestly I don't see what was wrong with Rainbow Dash in season 4. Also in season 2, I thought she was just about the same as season 1. Anyway I thought Rainbow Dash alongside Fluttershy have been developing since Hurricane Fluttershy, when Rainbow was convincing Fluttershy as well as the other pegasi not to give up on bringing water to Cloudsdale, and Fluttershy, even though she was haunted by the times she was bullied over her flight skills, was still able to overcome her fear of flying in public and was willing to help Rainbow and the others to achieve their goal. Also in season 3 when Rainbow Dash was standing up to Lightning Dust and Spitfire and was brave enough to nearly give up her dream in Wonderbolts Academy, and when Fluttershy stood up to Discord in Keep Calm and Flutter On cause him to redeem himself (although Discord is actually more neutral now than evil).

And for season 4, in Daring Don't despite being too outgoing with Daring Do, Rainbow was actually getting her to trust other ponies and work together, in Flight to the Finish she was comforting Scootaloo (my favorite cutie mark crusader) to help her put her sprits up and rejoin with the other crusader to win the flag carrying competition, in Rainbow Falls, even though she had a hard time choosing between her friends and heroes, Rainbow knew that Ponyville was the right choice for her because not only was she disappointed in Spitfire and Fleetfoot for tricking her into choosing their team over her friends' but getting Soarin to feign injury but she also realizaed that her friends really mean alot more to her than winning the games. In Pinkie Pride, while she and the rest of Pinkie Pie's friends came to apologize for focusing more on Cheese Sandwich than her, Rainbow was also convincing Pinkie that as well as Cheese is the best traveling party planner, Pinkie is always the best permanent party planner in Ponyville.

And for Fluttershy, in Filli Vanilli, when realizing that she can't hide her talents from anyone else, she gains the courage to sing in front of her friends and the whole crowd. And in It Ain't Easy Being Breezies, she learns not to be too find to the breezies, but should be assertive as well.

So more people should understand that Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash really seem to develop their character, as well as their knowledge of friendship. Rainbow Dash may be cocky and a bit rude, but she's still very assertive, loyal, and outgoing to her true ones. Fluttershy may be bashful and can be timid at times, but she can learn to stand up for herself and others whenever she feels it's necessary. As much as Applejack is often a very grown up character, which is one reason she's my favorite, I think that Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy have really improved themselves nowadays.
