In other news, I was talking to one of my friends over the weekend, and he came up with a headcanon about Spitfire to make sense of her personality weirdness. And I think it makes a lot of sense. It's pretty simple:

Spitfire was promoted to Captain of the Wonderbolts between S1 and S2.

In Best Night Ever she was more chill with RD and with Soarin' because at that point she was just a regular Wonderbolt and viewed them more as peers. Then she got promoted to captain, and she hasn't quite settled into the position yet. In WA she's not incompetent, she's just still getting used to being a position of authority. Same for "Rainbow Falls". This is the first time that she's been the head of the team for the Equestria Games and as a result she doesn't quite know how to properly handle the situation.

Does this make sense to you guys, or is it just me?

Makes a helluva lot of sense considering how weird she seemed in Rainbow Falls. She was acting almost like a different person.

[up][up]It's certainly possible and could explain some of her behavior, but man, she must have really not expected to be Captain if she's had growing pains for this long. That and she's probably getting poor advice and advisement.

Make sense but feel unnecessary.

Since I don't see problem with her behavior in each episode.

In BNE she was chill because she was on event and was meeting fans.

In WA she was dealing with new recruits (If she was new at that positioun I feel like she was softer than previous pony on that job)

In RF competition get to her head and she went little to far, but hey, nopony perfect.

Seems plausible, and plus she wouldn't really expect to be Captain of the Wonderbolts so it would only seem fair for her to not act like herself.

@Mio: It would help if we had some idea of how long she's been running things. Depending on how you interpret the timeline she might have only been in that role for a few months.

[up]True enough. I can imagine that combining with outside pressure from authorities or sponsors making for some not so great decisions on her part.

They still could have made her seem less sleazy in Rainbow Falls though.

Well I finally got to see That Horse from Adventure Time. I remember seeing pictures of it here before but I didn't get it at the time. Also, that was unexpected.

Yeah, That Horse is... interesting.

Also, I love how "Loyalty to the King" involved everyone being unable to recognize the Ice King's voice.

That seems like a plausible theory to me. And it's extra good in that it gives me a reason to not hate her so much.

I'm not sure if this is serious or a parody.

Either way, it's hilarious.

The song wasn't hilariously bad to me until the random video game effects started up.

@Story: The video is only like a minute long. Just watch it.

Also, Drop-ball is the worst sport ever.
