Description
This scene really would have benefited from a camera cut rather than a panning shot. It just looks ridiculous this way.

Well, duh. There’s nothing more important than arguing with Quibble. I really need to see those two in a little adventure again.
That would be reasonable except she was so nonchalant last time Caballeron got her, she was more concerned with arguing with Quibble.
That’s RD in most daring Do episodes.
We put our heroes and boogeymen on such pedestals, that even the people with all the ability in the world to stop them, it never comes across their minds that as long as their careful, they shouldn’t be intimidated at all. So instead they freeze up thinking their in over their heads. She’s not going to remember that she helped fight countless changelings or can blow up a barn with sheer collision force, all she’s thinking is that the worst criminals from her formerly-in-head fictional books are about to kidnap her.
Rainbow Dash is hardly the first character with this issue. I’m sure that there are plenty of others, but Jaime the Blue Beetle is especially guilty of this mentality.
Still, unless Caballeron was banking on all that, and that he somehow arranged that nobody would hear her screams except Daring Do and Pinkie, his plans to kidnap Rainbow Dash were preeeeetty stupid.
He also pointed out issues with the writing of Daring Do episodes as well.
Yearling - “Not yet.” Some time later. “Okay, so we’re gonna reach down the street, find that gray goon with a mustache, and chase him and his partner around for a while. Attract as much attention as you can. If any witty one-liners pop into your head, feel free to blurt them out. Hopefully the nappers are pretty quick, we don’t want the chase to be too short. If they have Dash with them, try to chase them up somewhere really high where we have to rescue her from danger.”
P - …
Y - “What? That’s how I get my inspiration!”
She was being led around like a pet… It would be more realistic if she showed a little resistance haha
Althpught, I feel something has to be said here. Since some years several bronies trend to classify an episode as “bad” even when only a specific scene was badly written (like in this case…. come on, go to see the comment section of this episode on YT, A LOT of people are claiming that this eoisode was bad just because this specifical scene). We’ve been into this even just a week ago with Campfire Tales: many fans agreed that the Rockhoof’s story was weak, at least considering the way he got his power. But that alone makes the episode itself bad? Hell no. It still offered several cute moments between the CMCs and their sisters, and provided two other great backstories. It’s a bit unfair to consider an episode completely bad when just only an element is out of place. I feel that people should really revise their way of watching this series.
My problem was the old hero has nothing to go on so villain must reveal himself (same thing happened in the royal wedding). After last episode’s “that was a bad plan and you should feel bad” the firs time he shows up they should have been like: “Hey, that’s Caballeron. Get him!”
This scene was an issue with storyboarding, not writing. Stop blaming the writers for everything.
The trouble with this episode is one that seems to plague most of the Daring Do episodes. Namely that to make Daring Do look competent they make everyone else look utterly incompetent, and that even she becomes incompetent just so Caballeron (who has never been seen to possess any real skills of any kind) can accomplish anything. In particular there was no reason given for why Rainbow didn’t even try to fly away before she got tied up. All that can be countered by having some great character interaction and dialog like we got in the previous Daring Do episode, but in this we didn’t get much of that.
The episode had a good message and a great flashback story but in my opinion it didn’t do much to make Daring Do herself a enjoyable character since she was basically a depressed observer until the end. Its just sad to me that the best part of Daring Do episodes never seem to be Daring Do herself.
How did nobody see the kidnapping xD
