North Star and Paradise. :)

@Amethyst_Crystal  
If RD was based on Firefly and Masquerade, does that mean Daring Do was based on North Star?

@Amethyst_Crystal  
To elaborate, her wingpower is strong enough to cause enough force to close that slab of rock… so not the usual sort of physical strength.

@Background Pony #4AEF  
What do you mean? What she’s pushing against?  
It’s a big stone door of some kind. She’s that strong. :P

@Amethyst_Crystal  
What’s the 2nd pic suppose to be?

Some of you anyway. :P

@RedTriangle  
Most of them really don’t know how they fought, they think they do, but they really, really don’t… but I digress.
 
Really though I didn’t have much of an issue with this or find it that odd. There are plenty of people that are a fan of something or even a participant, but aren’t historians or statisticians about it. Often because they’re you know focused on doing the job/activity well. This is after all WHY coaches and such exist and why the job is quite different from that of a player.

I’m a bit of a historian myself.

Ironic but not surprising. It’s how people like ancient warriors like the Spartans, Vikings, and Knights only how they look and fight.

And AKR was busy with Care Bears during Season 3.

It’s possible to be a fan of the current version of something, but know jack squat about it’s history. Take Pokemon, how many kids today who have only played X and Y only know/care about X and Y and nothing about what came before? Same with something a bit more controversial like Call of Duty. How many kids today who only know about games like Modern Warfare or Ghosts, and nothing about how the series started as a World War II shooter back in 2003? (remember: kids born in the year 2000 are now teenagers)

Merriweather Williams did Wonderbolt Academy, this one was by Amy Keating Rogers.

@HighRollerHydra  
Some writer forgot to remember she aced the Wonderbolt Academy with flying colors. It’s pretty clear the word ‘academy’, along with their age group, means she learned a lot to pass.
 
Who was the writer again? Maybe he/she missed the memo. Although I don’t see how you can miss the memo for knowing an episode of the show your writing for.

@Rockslider  
she hates studying about something she likes? that makes no sense.

So much over-analysis in the comments for a simple answer: She hates studying.

@Rockslider  
But History is wicked awesome dude! :D

@Masem  
Okay, that’s a pretty fantastic counterargument.

@JustTheBast  
Maybe they DO know that. Maybe that’s why she isn’t full fledged.
 
Or maybe its just a long process.

@Grieffon  
Yeah, and won’t the Wonderbolts be happy to find out later that they accepted a lazy jock-tard who can’t even buckle down and do something unpleasant for five minutes without goofing off and who needs a town-wide parade organised for them, if they ever have to learn a few simple facts.

@Prof.NightJack  
Well, we know a small amount HAVE tried the original series, but the majority haven’t. Everyone knows (or at least they should) G1 was where it was at. G4 wouldn’t exist without parts of G1, which is why it gets referenced the most.

@Background Pony #4E58  
That’s not true, I have a respect for G1 and am glade G3 is dead(G3.5 even more so).  
But ya I don’t give a crap about G2.

It’s like us bronies. We like G4, but we don’t give a crap about the previous generations.

DOESN’T*

Fanboys gonna fanboy?

Curse you, writers!

Not everyone likes learning boring things.
