Top Ten Reasons Why Buttercup is Better Than Rainbow Dash

I dedicate this to the person who gave me this idea and my BFF on TheTopTens.
The Top Ten
1 Rainbow Dash is a ripoff of Buttercup

To be honest, she kind of is, the flying fast concept is obviously taken from Buttercup, who also flies very fast. Buttercup is way faster though, she can go the speed of light while Rainbow Dash can only go the speed of sound, there is no contest here. They are also both tomboys too, so she is kind of a rip off.

I used to like rainbow dash until I realized 3 years ago how awful she was. That was when I liked powerpuff girls and I realized how buttercup is better. that's when I realized rainbow dash is a ripoff buttercup.

True because Buttercup flies faster than Rainbow Dash. They are both tomboys so...

GTFO Rainbow Brags butt-hurt fan, this is for haters, not for zoophilic people like you

2 Buttercup is not a bully

In the reboot, they turned her into a bully, she threatened to beat up a kid for not voting for Blossom. She can be a bit mean in the original series, but she didn't mean to bully the kid, she just thought what he did was weird and wanted to have fun and do what the others do. At least Buttercup apologized for that and even made amends with him. Rainbow Dash on the other hand, wanted to trade Fluttershy for a book! Why trade a being for a book? And she did not even apologize for that, what a jerk move.

She was in the beginning, but she had character development and learns her lesson, plus in the end of the show she doesn't bully anymore. Rainbow dash never learns and just tries too hard to act cool.

She used to be but at least she learns her lesson. Dash just never does.

I also agree with NexusUnterganger639.

3 Buttercup learns her lesson

Yeah, she does learn her lessons. In plenty of episodes, she actually learns from her mistakes, like when she bullied the kid, she never bullied anyone badly ever again apart from that one time with Bubbles.

Buttercup once bullied a kid but in the end she learnt that it is wrong to bully. Rainbow Dash calls Twilight an egghead every other episode.

Buttercup is a nice ad tough cutie who bullied a kid and she learned her lesson.

4 Buttercup looks out for her sisters and Rainbow Dash treats her friends like crap

When the Gangreen Gang kidnapped her sisters, and she found out, Buttercup didn't ignore them to go out with Ace. She immediately came up to rescue them. She would never trade her sisters for an object. Plus, no matter how much troubles she has with her sisters, she would stick up to them. Rainbow Dash makes fun of Twilight and wanted to trade a friend for an object.

Buttercup found out how to defeat monsters in the Powerpuff Girls Movie and she saved her sisters from the gangreen gang. Rainbow Dash is a fake hero who only saves people for fame, she only cares about winning and fame.

Rainbow Dash is espescially mean to Fluttershy and Twilight because they are closer to her. There is a line between fondly teasing and bullying and Dash should know that.

5 Buttercup is stronger

Buttercup can lift up much more stuff heavier than a sky scraper, awesome! She is faster than rainbow dash and also hardcore when it comes to fighting. Rainbow Dash can't even lift heavy stuff, she easily gets injured unlike buttercup, she can't fight, and she is a bit slower than rainbow dash, lets see who is stronger and that is buttercup. Watch the mugen battle buttercup vs rainbow dash on YouTube. You will know who will win.

Buttercup can lift up Mount Everest, enough said. What can Rainbow Dash lift up? A light weight chair? Lol! Rainbow Dash would easily injure herself if she was to be put in Buttercup's shoes. Buttercup lifted Mount Everest with no problem at all and no injury, and when she crashes, she can get up. When RD crashed in an episode, she easily got hurt. Proves my theory that Buttercup is stronger.

If Buttercup isn't human, then why does she walk on two legs like humans do? Why does she eat everything humans eat? Why does she live like a human does, but with superpowers? Why does she have human skin and hair? She is a human girl. That is why she is called a girl-AnimeDrawer85

Buttercup isn't human, she is a lab freak created by the town's nut case. While rainbow dash is a horse, no hands, can't pick stuff yo and having wings cause more limits

6 Rainbow Dash is egoistical

Said by someone else on the Reasons to hate Rainbow Dash list:
I totally agree. There is a BIG difference between having confidence in yourself and being an arrogant, self-important brat. Just look at any of the other Mane 6 and you'll see the difference. Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie all have a good self-esteem without being condescending towards others. Twilight in particular is confident yet very humble at the same time. SHE is a good role model for kids, not Rainbow.

Buttercup may be proud of herself now and then, but she doesn't constantly shove it in people's faces like RD does. Buttercup never bragged about lifting up Mount Everest, which is what any human being would be proud to do or crashing and being able to get up. Rainbow Dash, even if she does something not-so-extroardinary, would brag about it and shove it on everyone's faces.

7 Rainbow Dash is a bad influence

Rainbow Dash teaches you that it is okay to trade a being for an object, not cool. She teaches you to be boastful about everything and treat your friends like garbage, not a good role model. While Buttercup teaches you to learn life lessons, like standing up for who you love, and not getting hurt by what anyone says. Buttercup is a way better role model than that Rainbow Fart.

I am the girl from the list of reasons why spitfire is better than rainbow dash who is your friend, plus I'm also the one who gave you the idea for your new list in the reasons why twilight sparkle is better than rainbow dash. Thanks for dedicating this list to me, hopefully you get more followers and make a no more rainbow dash club.

8 Buttercup can accept defeat but Rainbow Dash gets upset if she loses

Buttercup does not like losing, but she does not stay there and complain if she does not win. She continues her way through until she wins. Basically Boys Back In Town says it all about how she doesn't give up, even when she is about to lose. Rainbow Dash complains about not winning, just like she did in the episode where she had a contest with Applejeck.

When the rowdyruff boys defeated her, buttercup did not complain about how she is the best, she just accepted the fact that she can't always win. However, Rainbow dash acts like a baby when she loses.

In one episode Buttercup was fighting a monster and she was beaten, she accepted it. But when Applejack defeated Dash in the Iron Pony comp., Dash was acting like Caillou.

9 Buttercup makes her own show more interesting, Rainbow Dash doesn't

Buttercup makes me want to watch the show PPG more, she is so hilarious and always does something so interesting.

Rainbow Dash is the reason MLP gets hate

Buttercup is an interesting and cool character,Dash is just any old character.TwilightKitsune,I want to be friends with you. -Applejack fan

10 Buttercup is a better singer

Buttercup can actually make decent songs, Love Makes The World Go Round is decent, and she can sing good, she sang better than Bubbles and Blossom in that song. And her songs in See Me, Feel Me, Gnome, are good too, and her singing is incredible. I love her voice just as much as Tom DeLonge. Rainbow Dash on the other hand, cannot make songs as good as Buttercup and Tom DeLonge, her songs are terrible and annoying with egotistical lyrics and her voice is annoying.

Meanwhile Rainbow Dash in her song As Awesome As I Wanna Be, she sang horribly with a more annoying voice than Justin Bieber. The song had no meaning compared to Love Makes The World Go Round and the other ponies songs. Even the other ponies hated Rainbow Dashs song. The other ponies other than rainbow dash have better singing and songs. Her song was meaning less, all about bragging and how awesome she is.

I like your idea Twilight Kitsune, that would be the best episode ever, I would love to see buttercup become an awesome rock star and sing amazingly, it would be hilarious to see rainbow dash jealous. Buttercup is a way better singer. In Love Makes The World Go Round, she sang amazingly like an angel and the best singer from all her sisters, I wish they gave her more parts.

Buttercup should become the number 1 idol singer, she is best singer not dash. I bet buttercup would be better than Justin Bieber or iggy azalea. Rainbow dash would be jealous.

The Contenders
11 Buttercup is cute, Rainbow Dash is not cute

That's just your opinion, and I respect it

She looks like a doll. She is cute. I like Buttercup - ChatNoirFan18

12 Buttercup is an actual tomboy

Rainbow dash goes to the spa, dresses up for the gala, is all about rainbows, and when she screams her scream is girly and applejacks is more deep. I think applejack is the tomboy in the mane six.

Rainbow Dash is a fake tomboy because she tries too hard to be cool, especially when she wears sunglasses and a cap, oh yeah how awesome, lame!

At least buttercup does not try too hard to be cool, and she was born grumpy because they gave her a girly name.

13 Buttercup is funnier than Rainbow Dash

Buttercup is funny, she made jokes about straight guys and hid "that thing" in the Professor's pocket. She made me laugh multiple times, like when she shut the door after the Lucky Captain Rabbit King cosplayer asked her where his twin brother was. RD never made me laugh with her stupid jokes.

Buttercup was funny when she lost her blanket and much more, she made me laugh multiple times. With rainbow dash I laughed 0 times, she thinks making ugly faces would be funny.

Buttercup when She lost Her blanket reminded me of Max from CrizRaging when he raged when he was Roasted by PewDiePie.

14 Buttercup fans are nicer than Rainbow Dash fans

No offense to Dash fans, but some of you are kind of rude because you keep sending death threats and rude stuff to Dash haters. I think Buttercup fans are nicer cause they don't send death threats, but some fans could be like that. But not all Dash fans are bad, but most of the ones I met were rude.

AnimeDrawer, I can't join TheTopTens because the annoying secret code. What should I do? How I make a secret code, give an example - ChatNoirFan18

I hate the cartoon characters who gets treated by fans like a god. Anyway, good list, TwilightKitsune - ChatNoirFan18

I agree that Buttercup fans are much nicer,Rainbow's mean fans and how Crash(Dash)and her fans made other ponies look bad so she could look good is the reasons why I dislike Rainbow Dash.Oh,and how she bullies too. -ApplejackFan

15 Rainbow Dash slapped Applejack

I think it is kind of understandable and justifiable since Rainbow Dash and Applejack are friendly rivals and love to get on each other’s nerves a lot.

Can't RD haters and fans get along? I respect opinions, but it is hurting others opinions. (I'm a RD fan, but I respect your opinion.)

Is this a friend?! Slapping your friend is a bully, not loyalty! - ChatNoirFan18

I want to slap Rainbow Dash

16 Rainbow Dash trips people, Buttercup doesn't

I agree with you Twilight Kitsune, also at least Buttercup is apologetic and says sorry a lot, Rainbow Dash barely apologizes and can't admit she did something wrong.

17 Buttercup cares about people, Rainbow Dash only cares about winning and fame
18 Rainbow Dash looks like a clown

With all the colors she has yes. Her hair is ugly, very circus and clownish looking. She only looks okay with a dress and a makeover, otherwise, she is not a natural beauty, her eye color is possibly the ugliest shade of magenta. Plus she makes very ugly faces. Buttercup is pretty, she looks like a chibi, she doesn't need a makeover to be pretty, buttercup has the most beautiful green eyes.

She has the colours of a gay clown. She should join the circus.

Can't stop laughing!

19 Rainbow Dash wanted to trade Fluttershy for a book, something Buttercup wouldn't do
20 Rainbow Dash cheats

She is not loyal AT ALL. She cheated by using her wings. Go and watch for yourself. She also slapped Applejack and I feel like slapping Dash so she can feel the pain and anguish she inflicts on others.

21 Rainbow Dash complains way too much, yet Buttercup barely complains
22 Buttercup is not annoying

Buttercup has a cute voice and she doesn't do things that annoy me, they make me laugh instead. Rainbow Dash however is annoying with her bragging, especially with her 20% cooler meme.

Rainbow Dash is not annoying neither

23 Buttercup looks better than Rainbow Dash

Buttercup is cute, she has the most beautiful green eyes, and I like her jet black hair, green and black are an awesome combination. Rainbow dash looks like a clown with all the colors she has, she is ugly and has ugly hair.

Rainbow dash looks like a clown

24 Rainbow Dash never shuts up

Buttercup should tell her to do it.

25 Buttercup doesn't brag as much as Rainbow Dash
