Pantaro said...

Oh Good. I need something to lift me spirits with all this Derpy stuff today.

CityFlyer502 said...

Oh yeah! Best news I've heard all day. Just what we need to sort of cool down from the whole Derpy debacle.

DongleKumquat said...

THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST EPISODE OUT OF ANY EPISODE IN ANY SHOW EVER.

Kevster said...

Indian Pones. Too sweet

Semolika said...

I already have high expectations for this episode. :3

Unpony said...

Yeah something worth smiling over.

Unknown said...

Holy crap, Indiana Jones reference. We got a badass episode over here.

palaminopegasus said...

It Does Look Like Its goin to be EPIC

Peter Noone said...

Can't wait.

Also is that supposed to be RBD? Like is she reading a book and then imagining herself as the protagonist? Or is it just a recolor

Destroyer said...

Woohoo can't wait for my Dashie episode <3

Chris Mckerracher said...

...

Indian Jones ref and subversion in the span of 5 seconds. This is gonna be so AWESOME!

autobotgodzilla said...

YEAH! My faith in ponies has been restored.

SkyrimOrBust said...

I was sad reading the Derpy rumors :/

But now I am HAPPEH

:D

Octavia said...

So slow to load... painful.

Now that it's finally loaded... lol Dat Indiana Jones reference.

Farnor said...

well it's obviously just something dash's reading, still I love indiana jones and think it's going to be a great episode

AestheticB said...

Oh yes. Oh yes indeed.

Snapai said...

Recolors are now canon!

Stray / cryptated said...

@Peter Noone
Yeah, probably her imagining herself as the protagonist, considering the episode is about her reading and all.

Unknown said...

@Peter Noone The "phew" was different than a regular RBD "phew"...

Asylum said...

I get the distinct feeling this is what will be shown when Dash reads books, short references should be awesome.

CityFlyer502 said...

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?1 WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?!!! I MUST KNOW......oh, right. I'm gonna find out on Saturday. I predict the MLP team is gonna outdo themselves once again.

JitteryJoe said...

*cut to Twilight* ...but in Latin "20% More Awesome" starts with an X...!

Looks pretty good at anyrates, can't wait to see the actual set up and the like :D

NoTrollingAllowed said...

WAIT. Could it be? IT IS! Indiana lol.

SkyrimOrBust said...

White Ink said...

I love how much creative liberty this show has taken. It's simply amazing.

Plus, this only foreshadows how absolutely AWESOME this episode is going to be.

Acknown3 said...

Dat Rainbow Dash hair recolor.

Dawnmist said...

:D Thank you for this. Totally perked me up after that whole Derpy thing.

midnight_quill said...

Now you got me all excited!!!

brilliantspecter said...

Oh yes, this looks EXCITING!

Also, looks like broken wings is confirmed? Huh, interesting! I wonder what's gonna happen to cause that.

LacionARG said...

OH MY GOD CANT WAIT NEED TO SEE THE EPISODE NOW!!!!!!

Ink said...

OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH
cannot WAIT! <3

InkBluPegasus said...

I was upset about Derpy... but this made my day :D

CaptIreland05 said...

Yep. Saturday morning shall be a great morning. Rainbow Dash as Indy, and crepes

Whimsically Obsessed said...

<3 Freaking badass! I cant wait to see!

brilliantspecter said...

Oh! And a compass rose cutie mark! Haha, nifty!

pipsiscool said...

OMG Rainbow Dash is the best character in any TV show ever. It's official for me now.

Down2Earth said...

If there's an Equestrian Indiana Jones, than there
must be...*gasp*...An Equestrian George Lucas!
Dear Celestia! somebody stop him before he ruins the series!

klaykolt said...

we need something to take our minds of the raping our community mascot received

Fasaloft said...

Wait... people actually care about a background character so much that their day is darkened by news that it may be name changed? I can't see what the problem is in the first place. Derpy/Ditsy who cares? I could see this kind of uproar happening over changing the name of Pinkie Pie to Bluey Chew or something silly like that, not over a simple background pony though. Oh well. I'll just be happy regardless. Awesome clip, can't wait for this episode. =D

Advance said...

I'm guessing this is an adventure in one of the books Rainbow reads.

Harwick said...

I notice she's suffering from Wing Damage in that clip... at least, that's what's all bandaged up, even in the Indiana Jones fantasy.

I guess those things aren't indestructible after all.

DarthMaul22 said...

"So if this is like Indiana Jones, she's gonna swap it with some weight, right?"

>Just takes it.

"Or not."

TsarNicky said...

If it really is RBD placing herself in the books (self insert? XD), it only makes me wonder what other references will be spouted out!

Ink said...

Obviously Dash is reading a story which is why the ponies hair is Dash's but grey. This is going to be SO AWESOME! EEEEEEEEEE

palaminopegasus said...

Has the Previous My Little Pony Generations ever reference movies and books?

The Invincible said...

Anyone remember that one cartoon that they used as a break between Garfield episodes? They had a character that did this all the time. This is still gonna be a lot of fun to watch, especially since they have Rainbow Dash in that role. Looks like we're in for 6 more weeks of awesome.

The Numberman said...

Oh wow, I mean I was looking forward to this but this is going to be amazing.

I like that Dash is imagining herself as the protagonist in the story, she's such a cutie.

ChaosDX1 said...

The advertisement was longer than the clip, but it was still epic!

Blackbelt said...

Cruelty is the realization that I still need to wait 36 hours to see the rest of this

alienbobz said...

Indiana Jones in My Little Pony? This show never stops being amazing!

MasterofRoku said...

Okay, now that was amusing. And it looks like I'm not the only one who thought Rainbow Dash while watching the clip.

Flutterfan said...

Somethings wrong with the video, it keeps showing me this Indian Jones/MLP crossover instead of the Rainbow Dash episode clip.

Phantomsniper said...

Indiana Jones reference YES YES YES YES

Vipera said...

This is going to be so amazing.

CaptainDash said...

Well now we can guess why she's in the hospital in the first place.

Callia said...

LOVE IT!! Rainbow envisioning herself as the main character in the book! Awesome.

Biomechanical said...

OK so now we have an Indian Jones Refrense in MLP, What's next? Anypony know?

ziosify said...

Now Rainbow just needs to find a book on Transformers
or Doctor Who
or Haruhi Suzimaya
or Percy Jackson
or The Hunger Games
:D

Stefan said...

Indiana Jones? Holy f*** this is going to win so hard!

Gamerlord said...

This looks very promising.

mattwo said...

Cue the giant bolder!

SpininGears said...

Nice bit of zelda-esque music in the clip.

Biomechanical said...

@Flutterfan No that is the right clip look at the Pony and compare her to Rainbow Dash

The Tniker said...

I see all these comments saying about how awesome and daring this reference is. But I dont know of an animated TV show that has not made this reference. To me it shows stagnation more than anything epic.

TheDude97000 said...

I think,this was a flash back part,i could just,tell,ya know?

vcrmaster said...

Yeah, I left the Derpy fiasco for dinner and came back to this. I'm happy now.

Thar said...

Putting dash in the books, THATS how they do it. Was wondering how they would get 20 minutes of show from this premise. Must say, looking forward to it. Then again, when am i not looking forward to a new ep?

DarkJester said...

She gets all nervous and mentally prepares herself just to grab it off the stand. xD

Trippn said...

I didn't even watch the clip yet and I'm like "what the..."

Mcoov said...

Oh man, what a reference! This episode is going to be great.

Roo said...

the animators have chosen, wisely.

b4nd1t said...

I never really got the trope of books "transporting you to a magical world." because that isn't what happens. You just kind watch someone else do interesting stuff. Unless, of course, the book is written in second person.

Vera said...

I never look at the spoilers, but was convinced by the post. And by Celestia this is gonna be great.

Al_Skylark said...

You can't stay mad at hasbro for too long. LOL Dashie Jones must be one of the best things I've ever seen.

TicTac said...

w00t! This shall be an epic episode!

Adrian Brony said...

@CityFlyer502

Seriosuly. I'm fine with whatever they do short of them refusing to show derpy in the background.

this viudeo is just what I need to escape the drama

Blackwolfie said...

Yay, reading IS fun. I knew it!

The Invincible said...

It's true, this reference is nothing new. The best movie ever, Weird Al's 'UHF', started this way too. Doesn't mean it's not awesome. I'm stoked for this episode however it goes.

Sothalic said...

Can't wait for the episode, im really hoping for more character development from RD, she might actually become one of my favorites!

That's something considering I completely lost all respect for her in both May the Best Pet Win and Mare do Well, but the last episodes have shown that she can do something else than be obnoxious as hell!

RazedRainbow said...

YES! I was hoping that they would do a "venture-into-the-book" sort of thing and they are! Woo-hoo!
Also, it looks like Dash has an injury on her right wing. The same one she injured in MTBPW. Hmm, do I smell a continuity nod?

vcrmaster said...

@Biomechanical Yeah, that may be true, but it's kinda a tradition now. Almost all of my favorite cartoons have referenced Indy in some way or another (usually with the boulder-in-a-cave). I sort of like to think that the Rainbow family has a rich and varied history.

That and I'm glad Dash isn't without any relatives at all anymore. Now all we need is to see Flutters' family.

Cátsy said...

Best Crusade EVER! /)^3^(\

crazyredemu said...

We called the dog Dash

Coolblue said...

So based off the obvious character, Rainbow's wing is broken. Didn't that happen back in "May The Best Pet Win!"?

Vanishing said...

Rainbow Dash as Indiana Jones. It's as if I'm writing these episodes.

I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT

vcrmaster said...

@vcrmaster Yeah, so I just remembered what this episode is supposed to be about. I really hope that this is Dash's family history, and not a magical book she is given that induces hallucinations and delusions of being in 80s movies.

Trippn said...

This is gonna be awesome!!!

Biomechanical said...

@ziosify Percy Jackson In MLP? I would approve since I Love mythology

Adrian Brony said...

@vcrmaster
I think this isn't a magical book, it's just dash's imagination. I mean that's kind of what this episode is about.

note thought hat even in her minds eye, her wings are still hurt though.

MagicLlama said...

Note the broken wing...

In other news, INDIANA FRICKIN JONES!

Wolfmelody said...

If this is coming from the episode where Dashie reads a book in the hospital, I have a feeling she was reading and Indiana Jones book, and this is how it played out in her head

NinesTempest said...

I want this episoooooode

Adrian Brony said...

@Coolblue

might not have been fully broken there. maybe just sprained and would be fine on its own.

vcrmaster said...

@The Tniker Hm, it seems I replied to the wrong person in my attempt to respond to you. I do apologize for my social awkwardness seeping into the internet

Zaehlas said...

OK, to start off with, advertisement SUCKED LARGE TESTICLES. First time I tried to play, it started 5 seconds in, and any attempt to pause, or figure out what was happening opened a new tab. I thought I was being rickrolled there for a minute. Then opened without imbed, and was able to close the stupid ad, but it was still painful (the X was really tiny)

OK, that said, I've watched this a few times. I agree this is for this week's episode, it's a self insert. However, a few really neat things I noticed about the clip...

1) I think the compass symbol cutie mark is totally awesome. Reminds me of the Indiana Jones map flying / driving scenes.

2) Every animal pictogram she jumps on is a Rat. Indiana's father was the one that hated rats. Indiana himself hated snakes, which makes the clip even more interesting. THERE ARE NO SNAKES. Some squiggles along the edges that might first look like snakes, but when it pulls back more, it looks more like drawing remnants.

3) I'm not going to overgeneralise this even more.. but is every symbol on that board she's jumping across a Chinese zodiac symbol? I'm probably wrong, with the no snakes...

Beta-Carotene said...

At first I was like D:
But then I was like /)^3^(\

Shimmer Scroll said...

"But in the Latin alphabet, Jehovah begins with an 'I'."
"I…"
"…Oh. Good work."

Definitely looking forward to this. And if they throw in a Reading Rainbow reference, I can die happy.

Biomechanical said...

@vcrmaster Well mosty what I was asking myself was 'What will MLP use next as a refernce?' I'm really hopeing that the choose Something that I enjoyed when I was younger

Solid Pony said...

Here I was thinking I was excited to see an episode starring RBD, my fav pony.
After watching this clip I realized that was just some lame, watered down parody of excitement. /)^3^(\

Mattatatta said...

*Video Ends*
Cue Music

I don't always watch teaser videos, but when I do, I prefer ones that make me excited like a filly on her first Grand Galloping Gala.

*watched video again*
"Hey, her wing... OH SHI-"
You need to look at this

vcrmaster said...

@Adrian Brony I know that. I can always hope though. I was simply exaggerating about the "magical book", as it is a common trope on TV and in movies for reading a story or journal to cause a visible flashback of said story or journal, similar to a hallucination.

Soras Teva Gee said...

Inb4 giant round boulder?

Kesono said...

YEEEEEEESS!

Can't wait for this episode!

Adrian Brony said...

@vcrmaster

either way. I guess I'm okay with that though. I don't mind it when they do something that's been done before, as long as they do it well.

smokeydops2 said...

.....

I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED RIGHT NOW

vcrmaster said...

@Biomechanical I apologize, I seem to have replied to you, while I was actually trying to reply to The Tniker.

But yes, I too hope for more references. Someday I'll look back nostalgically on our little Ponies, and recall how they made me nostalgic about other things.

Marty said...

synopsis: how will dash come to know the world of reading? that's a very good question
trailer: this just raises further questions!

John said...

Figures Dash would read something that's FREAKING EPIC!!!

fargreencountry said...

Note that if Indiana Pones had the use of her wings, she could've flown right over the pressure plate trap and made the sequence about 20% less cool. I think the DM didn't want the player bypassing their brilliant trap and added a "rocks fall" moment.... ;)

Anyway, as a huge, gigantic literary nerd, I hope there are some appropriately punny pony-themed reworkings of classic titles!

Mr. Fancy Trousers said...

I do say, this will be an episode to remember.
On another note, I love how she's just like "hmm... Fuck it. *grap"

4d4f5c2a-0f40-11e1-b2f5-000bcdcb8a73 said...

I wonder if this will just end up being a clip show of parodies. Hopefully done well. Definitely could go either way.

Demetrius230 said...

ALL OF MY YES!!!! I LOVE RAINBOW DASH

Slytherin said...

now I want to watch this episode again after I watch it

Hawklaser said...

Now if only the episodes didn't air at 3 AM for me.

Least that means when I get up they are already uploaded. Looking forward to Saturday even more now. As this looks to be another epic episode.

As Dashie Jones, so awesome. Loved Indiana Jones while growing up.

Adrian Brony said...

@4d4f5c2a-0f40-11e1-b2f5-000bcdcb8a73

they have already done something old in a different and interesting way.

I have never actually seen them subvert the "careful grab" bit.

usually it goes "walk up, snatch it, 'ZOMGBOULDER!" or "spend a lot of time carefully looking at it, carefully grab it and the reap goes off anyway."

This one had all the examination, but then followed by "eh, screw it."

Jparm said...

Butterfly in the sky
I can go twice as high
Take a look
It's in a book
A Reading RAINBOW-DASH!!!!!

Twilight Ace said...

totally looks like rainbow. probably is her reading the book.

FMP said...

@Jparm
HAHAHA
Anyway...
if this clip is any indication....
BRACE YOURSELVES THE REFERENCES ARE COMING!!!

Jparm said...

whilst typing my last comment
I realized that if theres to be
a LeVar Burton cameo (which sadly I doubt)
I could die happy...
Well there still needs to be the SMOOZE!!!

EasyBreeze said...

Indiana Dash in the Temple of the Sapphire Anubis! but it WOULD be 20% cooler if this WAS a Part of the Dash Family History!

Fridge Logic said...

Before the clip, there was an ad for an MTV show called "I just want my pants back." Retarded. It made me lose faith in humanity yet again.

Worth it, though. That clip was awesome. I predict that little Tomb Raider segment will be one of Dash's reading adventures.

MEMJ0123 said...

HOLY FUSD$%$#^#%fgji!!! Okay.... ok. I'm calm now. But this looks amazing. I was watching, squealing in my chair, and then remembered that I'm going to be out of town on Saturday and Sunday. Celestia, what am I going to do?!

zibbity said...

IMAGINAAAAAAATIOOOOOON!!! Or something!

From the looks of it, this ep is going to be a giant shoutout to literary and movie geeks everywhere. In other words, it's probably going to have God knows how many references in it. Somebody's gonna have to make a list. LOL

Silverness said...

>.< why isn't showing for me D:

oniz82 said...

indiana pony? all my bits

herpyderpy said...

Damn son! This looks awesome.

Can't wait!

Daft Oats said...

Looks like by neglecting to set a replacement weight, she chose... Poorly...

The Troll said...

are we gonna get Dashie in different situations like this through out the episode? Hope so!

StonerSunshine said...

....I squee'd in the metro....

Derpmind said...

I'm so happy right now! Like, serious over-reaction that's totally justified! I...... KNOW that this is going to be even better than Lesson Zero!

@pipsiscool
"OMG Rainbow Dash is the best character in any TV show ever. It's official for me now." I agree completely!

Kids, reading is awesome. Rainbow Dash, universal expert on awesomeness, states that reading is an important part of an awesome lifestyle.

DRTJR said...

REMBER IN HEBREW JEHOVA BEGINS WITH AN I,
Also Asps very dangerous, you go first.

Sandoval said...

hopefully its a good dash episode unlike mare do well

RapstallionJ said...

Only the penitent pony shall pass...

TheBanteringBrony said...

This is going to be one of the best Rainbow Dash episodes ever.

valforwing said...

WHO HERE IS HOPEING FOR A LORD OF THE RINGS PONY REFERANCE!?!?

ASDFASFADSFADFADF said...

OK. This is my new clip to convince skeptics the show isn't girly frilly froo-froo nonsense.

Admiral Stoic Rum said...

LEgally that ad shouldn't be playing...

Bearocles said...

Referencing 2 different Indiana Jones movies in one clip...awsome

Wildfire said...

Tom the rock in place of the boulder would be pretty hilarious

RandomBrony said...

indiana jane pony cool :3

jspang said...

Indiana ponies crossover fic, someone write it NAOOOOOOOOOOO!

DashAttack said...

I cannot hold all of the joy that is pouring from my eyeballs right now.

Dashie episode AND an Indiana Jones reference?

CAN THIS EPISODE GET ANY MORE EPIC?

Fleetwood_Brougham said...

This seems to be a fantasy of Dash's. Not hair design, overall shape, and eye color.

Raryn said...

A giant boulder better fall from the ceiling in the next scene. It just has to.

Crunch Nugget said...

Then the giant parasprite ball starts chasing her.

Scribejay said...

Well I have a new favorite pony, even if it is just a figment of Rainbow Dash's imagination.

Blue fox said...

Look like it's going to be a good episode. Probablely see a lot of movie references.

Mojo said...

Indiana Dash.

goddamn this show is awesome.

Val Yuni said...

Run, Dashiana Jones!

richfiles said...

Any pony have a youtube link for this? My New Tablet has failed to load the first video I've ever tried to watch...

/)-_-

X X X said...

I am so gonna be excited

CurryKatsu said...

@Jparm

YES! I was just talking about this the other day with another brony XD. Yeah, what if by some chance they got LeVar Burton do do a cameo voiceover in this (as unlikely as it is)

But then I was thinking:

1) Studio B has done a bunch of stuff for PBS before

2) They got John DeLancie to be in their show, why not LeVar Burton?

lol well, still unlikely, but not absolutely out of the realm of possibility

It would totally make my day if there was a reference to Reading Rainbow in this week's episode!

An episode about Rainbow Dash AND about reading? There's no way they AREN'T aware of that potential reference lol

Lord Wolfen said...

FCKING AWESOME

more oldie movies references that we all seem to love, in this case Indiana Jhones FTW.

now if only studio B would make an episode focused on Dashie trying out for the wonderbolts with a few "top gun" references along the way, then i could finally say that this show has revived all my faith in animations today.

SightlessOne said...

Rainbow Dash Jones... totally awesome.

Kreature said...

I was gonna think this episode was gonna be a bore, but seeing Indipony Jones just upped my spirits

Sins Of Hope said...

INDY PONY IS NEW BEST PONY!

Sins Of Hope said...

INDY PONY IS NEW BEST PONY!

RagingTwilight said...

Reminds me of the opening scene of Weird Al's movie, "UHF."

That was great.

Joe England said...

Hah! Man, it's been years since I saw a cartoon do a good old "Raiders" riff. Of course, it's been years since I avidly watched a children's cartoon.
Not as many years as you might think, though.

Killah said...

anyone else notice the bandages disappear?

Eddmario said...

*Crosses fingers and hopes the episode has Artimis Fowl or Pendragon Adventures references*

rainbows said...

What happens...WHAT HAPPENS!!!



jk.

Surprise Pie-Anderson said...

OH MY GOOOOOODDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!

Carmelo said...

I MUST SEE THE NEW EPISODE NOWW!

Ivan The Adorable said...

I do love how they don't just use a classic cinema scene, but take the opportunity to pull a fast one on all of us who have seen the original and are expectantly waiting for her to swap it with something. I love the writers of this show.

Azure said...

And then a little dude says "why is it like Temple Run?"

And then I just facepalm.

Flutterfan said...

I wonder why the Hub always gives these exclusives clips to these random websites. Wired now Movieweb.

Just give them directly to EQD!!

sjstansbury519 said...

They should have gave her a fedora, then she really look like Indiana Jones. Still this episode looks sweet.

Azure said...

>this

>what's under this

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

Tokyo Oranges said...

Indy Dashie <3
Also, Might be referencing UHF (If you haven't seen it, you totally should XD)

howezat said...

Are those wings painted on?

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Nova25 said...

I really like the yellow's pony name. :)

HMorris73 said...

@The Tniker
Just because it's been done before doesn't mean it can't be done again, as long as it's done well.

mycutiemarkisagun said...

let's see what-OH SWEET BLACK JESUS

I can just see Scootaloo yelling at someone, "You call her Rainbow Dash, lady!"

I loved what Indiana Dash did with the idol after assessing it like Indy did in the movie.
