I understand other's criticism of the episode even if I don't share it. I actually enjoyed the costumed rescuer's feats and thought Dash learned a bit of a lesson WITHOUT being totally humiliated.
SPOILER
My only criticism really comes down to nit picking, that I don't truly mind, it just bugs me. The persona of Mare-Do-Well is slightly redundant and it goes by unnoticed! The Mane Six have already saved the world twice, and when they are not handling personal issues, they're facing down danger to save a town(Ponyville/Appleloosa/etc.)or at least one another from dangerous situations. They functionally are superheroes yet nopony points this out. No off-hoof remark about previous exploits, no "Rainbow. You do realize we do this sort of thang' all the time, right?" At the end, I was honestly hoping they would keep the costume and give Dash a shot!
