“Fluttershy struggles to overcome her fear of public humiliation so she can help Rainbow Dash and the other pegasi create a tornado powerful enough to lift the water required for rainy season in the cloud-producing city of Cloudsdale."

WOOP WOOP!!!
ReplyDeleteTornados!
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome.
ReplyDeleteSo /that/'s where rain comes from...
ReplyDeleteNatural Disasters are definantly canon now
ReplyDeleteand then fluttershy caused a hurricane..
ReplyDeleteExpect a plot twist(er) or two....
ReplyDeleteA) Dat header image...what comes after liquid on the degradation scale? My heart became permanently melted a long time ago, and that image made it go even farther.
ReplyDeleteAlso: Hurricane Fluttershy? This will quite possibly be the most adorable natural disaster ever witnessed by man and ponykind!
More Fluttershy being bad-ass, sounds good.
ReplyDeleteAhhh I can already tell this episode is gonna be amazing...It has Fluttershy and tornadoes, nothing better than that
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for this episode, but hmm, where are the lifting the water from? or are the evaporating Cloudsdale?(trololol)
ReplyDeleteWow, ponies create giant tornadoes to lift mass quantities of water for rainy season. I knew that Equestria practiced high end weapon and season control, but this is still on a scale beyond what I had imagined.
ReplyDeleteI had though the hurricane thing might have just been an accident due to Fluttershy's inexperience with weather duties, but it would seem that the pegasi really meant to create one.
Awwwwww yeah I love when these extended synopses make the episodes sound even more awesome
ReplyDelete@The Seventh Wonderbolt
ReplyDelete>>what comes after liquid on the degradation scale?
--I think that would mean that your heart has now evaporated into a gaseous state.
I managed to initially read that as tomato. I spent a few minutes wondering why you needed a tomato to lift water, but I was sure the episode would be awesome regardless. Then I managed to read it correctly, but I still like the idea of Fluttershy helping to make a giant tomato.
ReplyDeleteI liked the last episode, but I hope this will feature Fluttershy being more of herself throughout most of the episode, except when push comes to shove like in Dragonshy.
ReplyDeleteA Tornado?!?! Can't Rainbow Dash make one by herself in her sleep? XD
ReplyDeleteSeriously this sounds like it's going to be a great episode.
Impressive.
ReplyDeleteMost impressive...
I read about tornadoes in a fanfic. Now they're gonna be canon!
ReplyDelete@muffincakes
ReplyDeletePatenteded Rainblow-Dry, the second attempt at herdin parasprites. The ability for pegasi to create tornadoes was already canon.
You guys: CLOUDSDALE!
ReplyDeleteSo basically they're making Fluttershy even less like herself? I mean, I don't like Fluttershy that much (except when she reaches her breaking point), but this seems like a bad idea.
ReplyDelete@62835fdc-3fb1-11e1-9fc6-000bcdcb2996
ReplyDeleteYeah, but the one RD created was fairly small. This time, they're creating a full scale tornado. You know, like the ones we see IRL.
Really? A tornado to pump water into the sky for rain-making?
ReplyDelete... like in my interlude?
/successkid
@Nimbus the Unicorn
ReplyDeleteYes, which is why they need more pegasi to create & control it. Same concept bigger scale.
It would appear weather is a bit of crazy business in Equestria if they need to harness rain with tornadoes. But in any case, I've got a feeling Fluttershy is gonna shine once again. She got out of line last time, but in the end, she's our favorite nature-loving pegasus. Like I always say, we have an idea what's gonna happen. How it's gonna happen is always the fun part.
ReplyDeleteFits beautifully into my head canon that the pegasi don't just create sunny days. They create whatever weather is necessary to keep the planet's messed up climate habitable. Similarly, unicorns and alicorns don't so much rise the sun and the moon as adjust their wonky orbits.
ReplyDeleteThey don't just make the love, they make the worst of natures hate! Yes I can believe and love that, although I believe the worst of the worst of weather may happen on accident... Category 5 hurricane?? "I just don't know what went wrong"
ReplyDeleteawesome! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat extended synopsis doesn't make it's episode sound epic?
ReplyDeleteThese extended synopsis's get me so hyped up for the episodes, can't wait!
ReplyDeleteBeing a Pegasus must be so much fun getting to create tornados and rainbows. Badass Fluttershy inc.
Thr correct term for a tornado over water is a water spout.
ReplyDeleteIsn't a tornado in the water called a waterspout?
ReplyDelete@Commentator
ReplyDelete... A-yup
Fluttershy? Tornado? Cloudsdale?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's going to be awesome.
..They use tornadoes to make rain? I'm actually having trouble thinking of an even more reckless and dangerous way of getting the water up in the sky :P.
ReplyDeleteAnd as we saw in Sonic Rainboom, Rainbow also has a crippling fear of public humiliation. This probably won't be examined in any way whatsoever due to Dash's ego and the fact that this is a Fluttershy episode, but I thought it was interesting.
Just in time for the heavy tornado season in our area. Which has destroyed countless homes and even killed several people.
ReplyDeleteMore fluttershy charter development yay!
ReplyDeletePossibly going to be best ep of the season Hope there's a song XD
Flutter Shy have you learned nothing from Iron Will
ReplyDeleteRainbow does have a crippling fear of public humiliation as well, but in the case of Sonic Rainboom it was because the Sonic Rainboom was part of her routine, but she'd never been able to do one since she was a filly. With this one, though, it's making a tornado, which she has complete confidence in doing.
ReplyDeletePonies creating disasters! What's not to love?
ReplyDeleteUnless your pony has, in fact, created a disaster. That would sort of be mortifying. I mean, the humor would be like a caustic bile in comparison - an undue cruelty served by sarcastic fates, plated on hopelessness, with tears for garnish.
Yay?
I was a bit disappointed with Putting Your Hoof Down, so I'm glad there isn't too long of a wait to see a Fluttershy episode again. Her strengths and flaws seem like a little trickier subject matter to deal with, but I'd tentatively expect this one to be more on character. I like seeing the Fluttershy/Rainbow Dash interaction because it tends to lend itself well to showing Fluttershy's character strengths which are lacking in Rainbow Dash.
ReplyDeleteSounds pretty awesome. Tornadoes, Fluttershy (with Rainbow Dash), Cloudsdale, Pegasi, maybe even some of Flutter's family? Expectations = Expectations x 1.2
ReplyDeleteSo Pegasi can create rainstorms, droughts, make lightning strike at will, whip up a damn tornado on demand and on top of that are so impervious to damage that they can use their bodies as high altitude mass drivers? Good thing they gave up their warrior ways a long time ago ... or did they?
Hurricane Fluttershy, eh? Here's betting she snaps and calls Twilight Sparkle Canterlot's answer to a question nopony asked.
ReplyDeleteinb4 she does such a good job the name the Hurricane after her
ReplyDeleteyaaaaaaay!!! :D
ReplyDeleteFillies and gentlecolts, I give you, the Fluttershy Effect.
ReplyDelete@anthropony
ReplyDeleteWe've known that the pegasus weather patrol was responsible for making storms as well as clearing skies since Look Before You Sleep, when they had to put together a doozy of a downpour to make up for missing a scheduled sprinkle.
--------
@FreezingShock
They use tornadoes when they have a need to get a LARGE quantity of water into the sky over a SHORT amount of time, they are after all preparing for the rainy season. I'm sure that for normal rain storms they don't have to go to such extremes.
Also we've seen that baring flying symbols trying to slice her in half, Rainbow Dash is perfectly capable of safely controlling small scale tornadoes all by herself. I'd expect a team of skilled weather ponies could do just as well with larger tornadoes.
*Ignores synopsis, stares at Fluttershy* <3
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things about FiM is the way that it teaches the same lessons that lots of "shows for little girls" try to, but with a way cooler scenario.
ReplyDeleteExample:
"Fluttershy tries to overcome her shyness in order to attend Rainbow Dash's birthday party."
FiM:
"Fluttershy struggles to overcome her fear of public humiliation so she can help Rainbow Dash and the other pegasi create a tornado."
ROFL
I just got a rarity at mcdonalds!!! Hehehehe
ReplyDeleteDerpy would have without a doubt been in this one (speaking role and everything) if not for Amy changing her. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteTWISTER.
ReplyDeleteCool, more Cloudsdale.
ReplyDeleteLulz, I think the mission of season 2 is to make sure that Fallout Equestria isn't cannon anymore!
ReplyDeleteI'm joking, of course!
More Fluttershy is always a GREAT thing! Yay!
I shall no longer fear a tornado...so long as Fluttershy is creating it :3
ReplyDeleteShy Fluttershy + Derpy being one of the pegasi helping make the tornado = epic amounts of "I just don't know what went wrong!" Perhaps you could call it, "The Perfect Storm?"
ReplyDeleteAlso, anypony think there will be references to Twister/countless other natutal disaster movies?
I'm hyped. This is definitely the first Fluttershy episode I've been excited about, as I'm not a huuuuge Flutterfan.
ReplyDelete...because if she fails, she gets sent to the Rainbow Factory...
ReplyDeleteWell now we know where they get the water reserves for their cloud making machines seen in Sonic Rainboom.
ReplyDeleteSo Fluttershy will get performance anxiety? I predict some storm related drama.
Fluttershy... yay! Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteLoved Putting Your Hoof Down and this will be another great episode.
ReplyDelete@Government-Man
ReplyDeleteGiven that these eps were written and in the can a while ago, I seriously doubt that's the case...the derpy issue is most likely becoming a fabrication of facts that never were at this point, and we really need to let it go, otherwise paranoia and bad feelings will continue to tear the fandom apart at the seams.
It is really NOT as bad as you seem to think it is!
Fluttershy? Fear of public humiliation?
ReplyDeleteinb4shed.movfluttershypromqueenflashback
Return to Cloudsdale, heck, its about time.
ReplyDelete@62835fdc-3fb1-11e1-9fc6-000bcdcb2996 After which it will transform into a high-energy plasma.
ReplyDeleteMy heart, on the other hoof, has been steeped with evil and has descended into the form of a Bose-Einstein condensate. *EVIL!!*
@fuzzytipsy If this were Monty Python, a tomato would likely fit into it somehow. And Spam. SPAM SPAM SPAM SpAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SpAM SPAM SPAM SPAM... wonderful SPAAAAAAM!!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine Fluttershy hyperventilating into a paper bag.
ReplyDeleteAlright, world building and character development FTW!

ReplyDeleteinb4 a Scorpions PMV using this episode and assorted clips of Fluttershy.
ReplyDeleteMy #2 favorite pony and my #1 favorite natural disaster in the same episode? I can tell I'm going to enjoy this.
ReplyDeleteThey are going to make a tornado? Harsher in Hindsight indeed.
ReplyDeleteMy prediction: the tornado will do what real-life tornadoes sometimes do and suck up aquatic animals along with them. This will lead to accidental frog rain (also rarely occurs in nature) and Fluttershy's un-pegasus-like animal handling skills will be a vital part of the solution.
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes, Cloudsdale is the best locale in the series so far. Finally returning!
ReplyDeleteThis episode should be awesome.
So I take it that the recent outbreaks in deadly tornadoes, that has killed many people, just ceases to exist, right?
ReplyDelete@DashAttack
ReplyDeleteChallenge mother fucking accepted.

ReplyDeleteoh....S**t.
ReplyDeletePonies plus my lifelong obsession of severe weather meteorology? There is NO WAY this will be anything less than absolutely amazing. Yes.
ReplyDeleteSo, Pegasi aren't just in charge of weather - it seems they have complete dominance on the entire water cycle system. Sounds like they've really got their work cut out for them, which shows how much of a proud race the Pegasus can be. No wonder most of them seem full of themselves - they have such difficult jobs!
ReplyDeleteyou can do it fluttershy, if no one else who will?
ReplyDeleteUm I want Pegasi storm insurance in case of injury.
ReplyDeleteOr I want fluttershy as my doctor
Anypony think it sounds like the event in My little dashie?
ReplyDeleteNeeds more Scootaloo.
ReplyDeleteNeeds more Scootaloo.
ReplyDeleteWhy do they need Fluttershy? The pegasi have been doing it without her for a while now, haven't they?
ReplyDeleteInb4 Fluttershy makes the tornado all my herself.

ReplyDeleteIt was done quite some time ago, minus the main focus being Fluttershy. (Actually, I made it! AND it was on here!)

@Brony2you
ReplyDeleteDO IT FILLY.
DO IT.
Omg I so look forward to this episode for two reason. 1.Fluttershy is my favorite pony. 2.I love natural disasters,storms is one of my main interests:P So this will be awesome. Cant wait:)
ReplyDeleteOH SWEET CELESTIA, THE CUTE STORM IS TOO POWERFUL!
ReplyDeleteAnd it hasn't even aired yet... We are doomed to hurricane induced diabetes, an I'm okay with this :3
@Laurence Brown Good pun XD
ReplyDeleteWho did draw that headline picture?
