@Mike I bet that if the blog allowed anonymous comments again, the event would register as a spike of searches in Google Trends, posts like this one would easily reach 5000 comments, and trolls would start returning here from 4chan.
NOT Fluttershy. She's too... SHY, maybe? I mean sure, she would have a mask, but REALLY NOW. I think her voice is WAY too distinct. Besides, she'd still be stared at. Also, NOT Trixie. She'd want people to know HEY GUESS WHAT, I'M SAVING YOUR BUTTS. I doubt it's Scootaloo. Just saying. No logical reason why I say no Scootaloo. My money is on some one-shot person. Like Gilda. I'M GLAD GILDA WAS A ONE SHOT. Otherwise I'd have to find a harpoon.
I really wish it was AJ, but I know it won't be. As nice as Gilda would be, I want her to stay a oneshot if for no other reason than to save all her fanfics. So... New oneshot.
My money is on either Trixie or a new G4 version of Firefly. If it is Trixie, I'm betting it turns out she is starting the trouble then taking the credit for stopping it, like that one "superhero" from Powerpuff Girls.
One more option I hadn't considered before: There is no mysterious Masked Mare at all. Dash spends the whole episode competing for attention against gossip and a figment of the town's overactive imagination. Someone attributes being saved to a figure they barely glimpsed (who may have been completely uninvolved even), and the story is built up through gossip until all sorts of coincidences are said to be the work of this guardian angel pony.
I have the TV on the Hub while I'm waiting, and one of the characters on Strawberry Shortcake, the one voiced by Ashleigh, said something about Applejacks. About broke my knee rushing to the screen.
Wow, 230 comments. Then again, this one was posted eaaaarly. I dunno, for some reason. I thought Mayor Mare when I first heard it. Not really sure why. lol
If it's trixie, I hope to Lauren it's an honest redemption story instead of her trying to rebuild her rep. If it's the latter, that's pretty cliche and a bad sign of them taking the easy way out.
Just throwing this in, while we are waiting for the eposide to start... but I bought the UK Sparkle World magazine today and it's a Christmas story... (yes they have referred to it as 'Christmas') There is a great line from RD... if taken out of context...
'Allow me!' grinned Rainbow Dash. 'I've always wanted to do this! Hold on tight! This is going to be the ride of your life!'
It should be noted that the 'Mare Do Well' of the title appears to be a play on words of the phrase 'ne'er do well'. It reasons then that the eponymous 'Mysterious Mare' has a villainous motive behind her apparently good deeds, ergo Trixie (or a new character entirely).
It's like 15 minutes before the show airs. I'm looking at the description on my satellite...
"When Rainbow Dash discovers that a new masked avenger has been stealing his thunder as Ponyville's resident hero, so he attempts to reclaim his glory by doing various heroic acts, but he encounters many problems on his quest."
Stealing HIS thunder, HE attempts to reclaim HIS glory.
There's also a few grammatical errors. It seems like Derpy got into the studio again.
Hopefully that opening will generate a bit more love for Snips and Snails. And dang, Noi is tiny. As for the identity of the Mysterious Mare Do Well, I say Granny Smith.

@ZeroHero
ReplyDeleteDon't feel too bad. Work's making me miss pony as well. Hey, at least we both have something to look forward to when we get home.
Also, my guess is that the mysterious mare do well is Scootaloo's mom. Or big sister.
@Mike

Trixie or Derpy pleeeease
ReplyDeletebtw the mysterious mare-do-well is clearly pinkiepool or MAGNETO.
ReplyDeleteNo school today, free to watch ponies, yeah!
ReplyDeleteNOT Fluttershy. She's too... SHY, maybe? I mean sure, she would have a mask, but REALLY NOW. I think her voice is WAY too distinct. Besides, she'd still be stared at.

Yep... It's trixie. That's my final bet. I'm betting..... 1.00. Just in case...
ReplyDelete>Inb4 it's Trixie
ReplyDelete>Inb4 that's been called at least 30 times a comment page
I really wish it was AJ, but I know it won't be. As nice as Gilda would be, I want her to stay a oneshot if for no other reason than to save all her fanfics. So... New oneshot.
ReplyDeleteI bet the main focus is going to be more on RD then the "Masked hero" because she has to get her "Thunder" back. I bet we will rarely see him/her.
ReplyDeleteMy money is on either Trixie or a new G4 version of Firefly. If it is Trixie, I'm betting it turns out she is starting the trouble then taking the credit for stopping it, like that one "superhero" from Powerpuff Girls.
ReplyDeleteOh please be Derpy. I would settle for Trixie. Would be a good redeeming story for her as it would justify the mask and costume.
ReplyDeleteWhat I *don't* want it to be is a totally new character. I want it to be somepony we've seen before, dressed up.
I think only one of the Wonderbolts could really outdo Dash. So that;s where my vote goes.
ReplyDeleteOne hour...
ReplyDelete@Masquerade
ReplyDeleteIT MAKES TOTAL SENSE.
10 past 3 in the morning, 50 minutes until the episode; what do?
ReplyDeleteOne more option I hadn't considered before: There is no mysterious Masked Mare at all.

ReplyDeleteI make the bet that the Mysterious Mare is in fact, Rainbow Dash herself. How? Well, lets see if that happens first.
ReplyDeleteI have the TV on the Hub while I'm waiting, and one of the characters on Strawberry Shortcake, the one voiced by Ashleigh, said something about Applejacks. About broke my knee rushing to the screen.
ReplyDeleteinb4 Sassaflash
ReplyDeleteI'm calling it's gonna be Magneto, here and now.
ReplyDelete40 minutes, im excited.
ReplyDeleteSister leaves for karate
Dad leaves for work
Mom watches her soaps
The other TV is all mine
Wow, 230 comments. Then again, this one was posted eaaaarly. I dunno, for some reason. I thought Mayor Mare when I first heard it. Not really sure why. lol
ReplyDeleteScrewball ftw!!
ReplyDeleteIt's gonna be trollestia messing with rainbow dash...
ReplyDeletewonder if were gonna see tank
I'd say Trixie but I don't think the animators will bring her back. Its probably a new pony.
ReplyDelete@Octavia
ReplyDeleteYes! It's not just me!
Well as there's some relatives popping up, I think maybe a parent or sibling? That would crash a lot of fanon, but they may do it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the mystery mare is one of the Wonderbolts. Just throwing that out there.
ReplyDeleteZECORA ALL MY MONEYS ON IT BEING ZECORA (royal canterlot voice)
ReplyDeleteWhy has nobody guessed Hoops or that other bully from Cloudsdale?
ReplyDeleteWonder if the will do a parody of superheroes in this episode? Or maybe parody fans of superhero comics
ReplyDeletemy body is ready!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I want it to be Derpy, but I bet odds are that its a new pony that will never be seen again after this
@euphgeek
ReplyDelete"The Mysterious *Mare* Do Well".
I'ma guess someone new entirely.
ReplyDeleteSomeone the fandom is gonna call "Batmare" regardless of their gender.
If it's trixie, I hope to Lauren it's an honest redemption story instead of her trying to rebuild her rep. If it's the latter, that's pretty cliche and a bad sign of them taking the easy way out.
ReplyDeleteJust throwing this in, while we are waiting for the eposide to start... but I bought the UK Sparkle World magazine today and it's a Christmas story... (yes they have referred to it as 'Christmas') There is a great line from RD... if taken out of context...
ReplyDelete'Allow me!' grinned Rainbow Dash. 'I've always wanted to do this! Hold on tight! This is going to be the ride of your life!'
Sorry, but i'm gonna have to sit this one out. MSL launches today at 10:03.
ReplyDeleteIt should be noted that the 'Mare Do Well' of the title appears to be a play on words of the phrase 'ne'er do well'. It reasons then that the eponymous 'Mysterious Mare' has a villainous motive behind her apparently good deeds, ergo Trixie (or a new character entirely).
ReplyDelete@Rafasde
ReplyDeleteD'oh, I should've known that. Still, the title could just be used for the pun and it's not really a mare.
It's like 15 minutes before the show airs. I'm looking at the description on my satellite...

aright, its close enough now that I think I can say.... Its time.
ReplyDeletehttp://livestream.com/mylittlestream
ReplyDeleteI bet this avenger pony is going to be different from how we're imagining her/him. Just like Luna.
ReplyDeleteAlso am I the one who enjoys the hub commercials? They're hilarious.
So close now.

ReplyDeletePretty A real life Rainbow Dash Fanbase
ReplyDeleteLove the fact that she has a Fanclub
ReplyDeleteScootaloo's Rainbow obsession is 20% canoner
ReplyDeleteI freaking called this episode, watch, most that fanclub will start to worship the other pony, and scoots will be the only one to stay by her.
ReplyDeleteRainbow Dash is best pony confirmed!
ReplyDeleteThe second I saw the RD fan club I knew what was going to happen!!!
ReplyDeletelolololol rainbow dash has a fan club!? this show just always gets better and better
ReplyDeleteScootaloo being dangerously obsessed to the point of wearing a wig/dying her main confirmed.
ReplyDeleteScootaloo is so crazy.

ReplyDeleteDid anyone catch the Nyan Dash poster?
ReplyDeleteOMG MUST INVEST NOW
ReplyDeleteHopefully that opening will generate a bit more love for Snips and Snails. And dang, Noi is tiny. As for the identity of the Mysterious Mare Do Well, I say Granny Smith.
ReplyDeleteRainbow Dash fanclub....Nice.
ReplyDeleteBaby carriages are canon.
ReplyDeleteNew writer! New writer!
ReplyDeleteDont push baby's down very steep mountains...
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! That baby could have died!
ReplyDeleteSwelled head much, Rainbow? And why do ponies have a road that leads directly to a cliff?
ReplyDelete...never mind, that is one ugly baby. KILL IT WITH FIRE!
ReplyDeleteSpider-Dash, Spider-Dash...
ReplyDeleteRainbow Dash = Superman.
ReplyDeleteIt is now cannon.
Must wait for YouTube. Not reading any comments.
ReplyDeleteThat worm arm.
ReplyDeleteReporter Spike!
ReplyDeleteSUNGLASSES!!!
ReplyDeleteSuddenly, Ponyville is beset by all kinds of trouble! How did they all live before RD started helping them?
ReplyDeleteDERPY!
ReplyDeleteGhost writer Spike!
ReplyDeleteBest. Dance. Ever.
ReplyDeletelol pinkie
ReplyDeletewow, THAT'S not gonna revive any appledash ship fics.
ReplyDeleteSpike is Rainbow Dash, though, so it is an autobiography.
ReplyDeleteLol, spike, dat costume.
ReplyDeleteLet the LA. Noire spike fan fictions begin!
Okay, can everyone use that freakin' balloon?
ReplyDeleteLoads and loads of background ponies in this episode. And 10 seconds again!
ReplyDeletehmm no wings......
ReplyDeleteWell, she's not a pegasus.
ReplyDeleteIT's Darkwing Mare!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's Darkwing Pony!
ReplyDeleteRD doing the wave= official new meme
ReplyDeleteNice costume
ReplyDeleteOk it's not Gilda.
ReplyDeletepossibly applejack
ReplyDeleteAnd I find it odd that RD's getting practically a second episode right after she just had one.
ReplyDeleteDat costume is right.
ReplyDeleteApplejack or Pinkie.
ReplyDeleteit either the Mayor or its the Twilight and friends trying to teach Rainbow a lesson.
ReplyDeleteAlso, does anybody think Mare-Do-Well looks like Darkwing Duck?
My guess? Steven Magnet.
ReplyDeleteIt's not Derpy… shame
ReplyDeleteBon Bon is a Rainbow Dash fan now.
ReplyDeleteHaha. The Jimmy Hart Version of the Batman TAS theme played when the Mysterious Mare showed up.
ReplyDeleteI say Trixie or some new pony.
ReplyDeleteim sorry Dash is just starting to become too Egotistical, she's actually becoming unlikable now.
ReplyDeleteFirst look at babies and I'm guessing that's the Retirement Village Spike mentioned back in "Luna Ecilpsed".
ReplyDeleteSpider Dash, Spider Dash does whatever....(hums)
http://informationcentral0.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/spoiler1.gif
ReplyDeleteSpolier's costume from Batman.
Just saying...
@Jelfes I almost forgot that Spike was Rainbow Dash! You're right!
ReplyDeleteIt's Trixie I'd know that running away from Ponyville stance anywhere.
ReplyDeleteI'm calling Pinkie Pie.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for my RD worm .gif :D
ReplyDeleteI'm putting my money on Pinkie, she seemed a bit too subdued when we saw her at the press conference, annoyed even
ReplyDeleteTRIXIEEE!
ReplyDelete@Blightmare XD i forgot about that
ReplyDeleteTwiiiiiiiilight is mysterious pony.
ReplyDeleteI think that it will turn out to be each of the other mane six each taking turns in disguise to try and teach Rainbow a lesson.
ReplyDeleteIt's Pinkie. Who else could it be?
ReplyDeleteAlso: Mare-do-well? Really? You couldn't think of a better name, Mayor?
@Jelfes
ReplyDeleteSHH YOU
$20 on Trixie
ReplyDeleteIts likely all her friends. Applejack is likely the hero and rarity made the outfit. Twilight enchanted it somehow
ReplyDeleteJust putting my guess on record: it's Rainbow's friends trying to teach her a lesson. The actual pony in the mask is either AJ or alternates.
ReplyDeleteOk, def Applejack
ReplyDeleteApplejack, maybe?
ReplyDeleteApplejack!
ReplyDelete... its applejack
ReplyDeletePONIES HAVE CRANES
ReplyDeleteYou know what Ponyville needs? More roads that lead to cliffs.
ReplyDeleteIt's Apfeljack!
ReplyDeleteif there were horns or wings i might have said trollestia XD
ReplyDeleteyep applejack
ReplyDeleteI'm going with Twilight. There was a very obvious Clark Kent/Superman moment.
ReplyDeleteIt's Applejack. No one else has that much leg strength.
ReplyDeleteGET THE Chewing GUM
ReplyDeleteThey have a powerplant? That's interesting.
ReplyDeleteA hydroelectric plant?
ReplyDeleteO.o
Damn live stream, I'm gonna need to watch again on YT
ReplyDeleteIt's Colgate, Time Lord pony!
ReplyDeletedamit not applejack
ReplyDeleteDa-GUH?!
ReplyDeleteTwliight....
It's not Apfeljack...
ReplyDeleteOh wait, it's Twilight!
ReplyDeletei see what they did there
ReplyDeleteTricot magic plz?
ReplyDeleteNo what, its all of them, diff job, diff one of her friends.
ReplyDeletePinkie pie calling it
ReplyDeleteWell, it ain't AJ. Unicorn.
ReplyDeleteNevermind. It's Twilight.
ReplyDeleteIts Twilight, AJ and Pinkie. That settles it.
ReplyDeleteEveryone seems to be clamoring Trixie in the chat right now. lol Wouldn't that be interesting?
ReplyDeleteIt's Twi's color.
ReplyDeleteITS TWILLIGHT OR TRIXIE!
ReplyDeleteObvious magic aura
ReplyDeleteHi Twilight
Woah! Horns a game changer!
ReplyDeleteIt's all of the other ones, taking turns
ReplyDelete....wait....what?!
ReplyDeleteIT's all of RD's friends
ReplyDeleteRed magic? Twilight!
ReplyDeleteIt's all of them. The Mare is all of them.
ReplyDeleteand Fluttershy.
ReplyDeleteokay, wtf...
ReplyDeleteIt's Twilight! You can tell be the glow of her magic or whatever.
ReplyDeleteAll right, I'm lost.
ReplyDeleteI'll shock you all:
ReplyDeleteMISS RARITY!
Whoa, maybe not. Wings too. So she's basically an alicorn then. Or something.
ReplyDeleteChanging my prediction. It's all of them.
ReplyDeleteALL OF THE MANE 6 IS MARE DO WE- oh ninja'd
ReplyDelete!
ReplyDeleteAll of them?
And we see the Mysterious Mare Do Well hanging out with RD. All 4 of them. :)
ReplyDeleteIts all three
ReplyDeletetheir using an old "the 3 amigos" trick. not bad
ReplyDeleteprobably twilight... the trix sucks at magic
ReplyDeletei think shes all of the mane six
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious that it's all of the other 5, or at least a few of them.
ReplyDeleteI am going to say it is the rest of the main characters all dressed the same
ReplyDelete
