Talk:Daring Don't/@comment-10390252-20131207202426

Okay, that was fun although they had to give the Mane Six a bit of a power downgrade for story reasons (for example, Twilight never used her new flight abilities nor did Rarity use her telekinesis). That's a nitpick though, so I'm not going to worry too much about it. What is less explicable is why nopony thought to intervene when the thugs (some of whom resembled the thugs at the start of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade attacked what was, as far as the Six knew was a civilian author.

Daring Do is Ponydom's Indiana Jones. She's got more-or-less the same villains (I did like the Belloq expy) and a lot of the same style ("I work alone"). Oh... and I heard some music that was definitely straight out of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Other points:

1) The Diary is used for the first time;

2) Rainbow Dash's least-recalled characteristic - her performance anxiety - is played with again;

3) A whole new possible raft of adventures opens up as Azuizhotl is likely to start targeting the Mane Six as 'allies' of his arch foe;

4) Note the Pony cultists; there is definitely a dark undercurrent in the darker and less civilised parts of the world;

5) I'm glad that Daring retained her general dislike of Rainbow's fangirling to the end; creepy remains creepy, even if the creepy pony is good in a fight.
