The point remains they held off the storm for longer than any other pony could be expected to (again, RD was grounded within seconds of trying).

@Softy
 
I see your “math” and raise you “magic”.

@Dustcan  
People really don’t understand the energy scales involved in weather.
 
Some back-of-napkin math:  
Assume a region 1 mile by 1 mile, with a height of 300 feet. That’s 1609m·1609m·91m=235588171m³. (Keep in mind this would only represent a tiny fraction of a large-area storm.)
 
Assuming an air density of 1.2kg/m, that’s about 283Gg (gigagrams) of air. Let’s have it move at a brisk 50 miles per hour; that’s about 22.4m/s.
 
e=½mv²
 
Subbing in our values:  
e=½(283000000kg)(22.4m/s)²  
=141998080000kg·m²/s²  
=142GJ (gigajoules)
 
That’s the energy released by 34 tons of TNT, or three MOABs. (Please do correct any of my math if it’s wrong.)
 
That’s just the movement of dry air in a 1 square mile zone only a measly 300 feet high. Expand that outward, stack it upward, add water and ice, and it multiplies fast.

Now I want to see Ember and Flash Sentry make out in active spite of their lineage interact.

Aren’t we gonna name the second dragon? Especially with the “Ember’s mom” theory.

Yeah, that’s a totally proportionate response. Totally.

It looked to me like the dragons could have fought more if they wanted to, but just didn’t want to.  
They looked smug at first, probably thinking this would be easy, but after getting zapped they were embarrassed and petulant, letting the ponies go.

@Darth Sonic
 
think it could be like the everfree forest. A force that resists even the strongest of pony magic. And the everfree needs a God tree to hold it at bay after all.
 
I think it is less the writing and more they coulda shown them doing more than horn beams and shit. Like maybe they are generating spells of other kinds and shit.  
Fuck, here is another thing they could have done. Show that windigos live here……..
 
That could go with something in the comics. The umbrum are good enough of a concept that it could be itnergrated into the show. It could be they are the ghosts of a cruel, lost tribe of ponies, and the windigoes came. That is how the frozen north came to be.

@Daneasaur  
Certainly I wouldn’t say those pegasi truly “defeated” the dragons but they did show lightning can hurt them to some degree.

@FanOfMostEverything  
Fair enough. Still, as I said on another image:

@Darth Sonic  
Remember, this is from Ember’s perspective. She’s going to at least try to make her parents look good.

@Dustcan  
A fucking Magic Blizzard. But yeah, that scene was horribly written.
 
@FanOfMostEverything  
I think you have that backwards.

@soundtea  
So are you though. Most of the people who kick Celestia’s ass could likely kick Torch’s ass. So I say Celestia and Torch are about even.

@FanOfMostEverything
 
You’re right. I thought he was red for some reason. My bad.

@Background Pony #856E  
…
 
Torch is the blue one.

To be fair, some bandit ponies DID snuck in and killed Ember’s siblings when they were just eggs

I’m not convinced this was Torch. The colors were wrong (green instead of red).

@CnSfan2
 
With Flash Sentry as Flash Magnum’s descendant.
 
“A pleasure to meet you, sir.”
 
“…I really don’t like you.”
 
Flash hangs his head down, ears folding back

I hope somebody make a fanfic of this. XD

I think Dragon Lord Torch mellowed out a bit since then.

@Background Pony #1F06  
I really wish Celestia and Luna had that badass moment.

@Dustcan  
They held off an entire region’s weather for hours, weather that specifically has a will of its own and is immune to pegasus magic (RD was rendered flightless within seconds of trying to fight it). I’d say that’s pretty impressive.
 
And given what happened in this legend, I doubt dragons would do any better against a blizzard.

@Dirty Bit  
Most large dragons lack any gender defining traits.

Okay, this is both funny and excellent headcanon material.
 
I mean, yes, we saw Torch, but do we know if the other dragon is female or not?

@Ryodraco
 
Celestia and Luna can’t even fight off a blizzard.
