HOW COULD THEY?!
No seriously, HOW? She freaking saved their lives and didn't even consider letting her join? |

They're just jealous that rainbow dash outshined them by saving their flanks. |

| Seble #322069 1 year ago |
This doesn't even really make sense considering she's the only one who pulled off the sonic rainboom in recent history. The image is purely going for a sad reaction. |
| sargesprinkles #322076 1 year ago |
i was gonna make a smart ass remark but then i saw "you sad" and busted out laughing. |
| Kidou #322110 1 year ago |
Maybe they had a reason for it.
One fanfic did that idea very well by stating that she would make the show all about HER instead of working with her teammates. |
| AdrianBrony #322112 1 year ago |
perhaps dash's skills, while able to save them, weren't enough to counteract her laziness, which got her kicked out of training. |
| AdrianBrony #322115 1 year ago |
and the fact that she can't be a team player. they don't want a showoff who could end up getting them killed. |
| dragonSpike #322119 1 year ago |
Those of you talking about how she pulled off the rainboom: What if this is BEFORE all that? They didn't know she pulled one off as a kid, most ponies forgot about that entirely.
And if it's after that, maybe she can't join because she's too good for them. Those groups would fall apart if they got a member that outshined them. |
| Krek #322123 1 year ago |
Hopefully, it's merely a setup for Rainbow Dash to receive a higher honor than that of being a Wonderbolt.
Not sure what, but higher than being a Wonderbolt. |
| Glanco #322134 1 year ago |
@Seble: Tell this to guys who are making cartoon "Why after two sonic rainbooms and saving their flanks she's not a Wonderbolt already?".
Let's say those random pegasi earned their place with hard work and not with one (who will belive she pulled a legendary trick as a filly) accidental act of courage (cuz your friend is falling to her cetain death). I drew this to make you sad indeed. But if my art works on your emotions (no matter if its sadness or hapiness) it means a lot for me. |
| Edef #322158 1 year ago |
You did a good job on her expression, and I do hope you do more images of a strongly emotional nature. |
| Drasvin #322215 1 year ago |
Yeah this is really sad. I had to hurry down to the comments before I started to tear up. Though I don't really know why the Wonderbolts wouldn't let her join. She's the fastest flier in Equestria, even if she can't pull off a sonic rainboom whenever she wants, she can still reach that level when the adrenaline is really pumping, so she probably can out fly just about any other pony (Pinkie Pie is an exception, because she's Pinkie Pie)
Rainbow Dash also seems to have aerobatic control, provided her nerves aren't shot, as seen when she's practicing at the start of the episode Sonic Rainboom (In which she was also named Best Young Flier) I doubt her laziness would kick in here, because she would be flying around at high speeds, potentially with her idols, pretty much her dream job. I think if she had to choose between a nap and flying with the 'bolts, then I would think RD would fly till her wings fell off. I could kinda see the argument for Rainbow Dash not being a team player and trying to make the show about herself. RD is rather self centered, but she is also loyal and has been shown willing to help others out. She may have cheated during the training (she does hate to lose) but I doubt she would, since she has the talent and skills to get through anyway and would only resort to cheating if it seemed like she might not make the cut. As for way Rainbow Dash isn't already a Wonderbolt in the show, I see three good possibilities. First is that the Wonderbolts might not really know that much about her. At the Best Young Flier's Competition, she appeared to be rather clumsy in the air (they didn't know she was pretty much a nervous wreck) and while she did save their lives, that doesn't mean they'll even remember her name ("Hey, aren't you that one pony that saved our flanks?") Second would be that the Wonderbolts might not have any open positions. When doing high speed coordinated stunts, you need everypony to be well trained and practiced on the routine. And the more members on the team, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep everypony up to par on training and practicing. You could design the routine to use all the members of the team, but that makes the routine itself harder to coordinate (though more awesome if you can pull it off). If that is the case, then Rainbow's only hope of joining the Wonderbolts is for one of them to retire, or for them to decide to expand the team for some reason or another. The third possible reason is that Rainbow Dash might not have gone to the auditions, because deep down, maybe not even consciously, that it would force her to make a choice which would be rather uncomfortable for her. Her dreams or her friends. If she joins the Wonderbolts, she would be away for long periods of time, having to practice and train. Maybe she could visit every once in a while, but it wouldn't be very often. A famed team like that probably has a full schedule all year round, between all the practicing and the performing and traveling. Maybe they have some down time during the year when the team captain is thinking up a new routine. Sure, she would get to hang out with her idols, but that would mean leaving all her friends in Ponyville behind. And that choice would tear Rainbow Dash apart. |

On top of that.. Rainbow Dash is not exactly a disciplined flier. She'd likely fail formation-flying tests. |

Oddly enough, I'm the most impressed with the shiny floor and the background scenery. Way to go dude!! |
| Anonymous #322253 1 year ago |
The thing is she can always comeback and tryout again. Perhaps they told her the areas she needs to work on. |

Nonsense, Dash is just crying because she got accepted but she would have to give up her friends in ponyville to fly with them |

You've turned this sad picture into a "look to the future" one for me |

| Brollyhero93 #323729 1 year ago |
You all have to remember that this picture ain't "canon", so it isn't real... Dash made a Sonic Rainboom, so I really believe that she is going to become a Wonderbolt. Of course there will definitely be some kind of drama in that episode though... |
| Anonymous #325176 1 year ago |
The Wonderbolts are not that way... Maybe Rainbow still too young for tha team |

Please stop crying, Rainbow Dash.
...No seriously, you're gonna make Fluttershy cry because she'll think she didn't cheer loud enough. |

Goddammit! I thought I could trust you Wonderbolts. But seeing my poor girlfriend here now, I've learned otherwise. Readers, tell us of a method of torture that the army has within reach and those rump buddies will receive it. In the meantime, I have to help console my girl. *proceeds to do so* |

Of course, this could be BEFORE "Sonic Rainboom". |

I'd hold a gun to the Wonderbolt's heads if I was there. |
| Anonymous #714037 7 months ago |
There's also the picture that was another idea. They plan on accepting her in the future, but they know for now that she needs time to mature and learn life lessons with her friends, and if they accepted her, she would stop hanging out with the people who truly matter. |
| Anonymous #1071984 4 months ago |
Oosh... Sad.
Of course, this is only because the Wonderbolts know that RD is cooler than they will ever be... she is too good for the team, of course! ;D Seriously, though, there is a whole world behind this... I can think of multiple reasons this would have come to pass... DARN IT FLUTTERSHY! KEEP YOUR PLOT BUNNIES AWAY FROM ME! XD |

if there was to be on the show rainbow getting to b a wonderbolt or not, they would obviously let her get the job since the show doesnt want to upset there audience and dashies been obbsessing over it like in every episode (well not EVERY episode) |
