Not The Best Episode Discussion (Patreon)
Content
This is the pinnacle, the peak of Dash's story arc. She discovers she can't excel and be the best at everything she does (at least to start with, don't forget practice makes better!). So this episode is a humbling moment for our usually cocky, Dash.
It's a shocking moment for her when she figures out she can't be the best and is actually challenged. In the sixth panel, she is seen looking up at Applejack on her racing box. Dash knows she treated others bad, just to fall from her pedestal. How Dash reacts next really will determine who she is as a pone.
Yes, everything is rushed a bit, but that's what a six panel comic, and viewers attention spans requires. Quick.
