The Stuntmare is a 2015 comic, written and drawn by Roger334. The plot is centered around Fleur Dis Lee and her desire to buy a designer scarf by working as the stunt double of Princess Luna. The story is available in English and French.
Summary[]
The story starts with Fleur Dis Lee watching the shopfront of a designer store in Canterlot. The scarf she is interested in is way too expensive. Motivated to buy it she gets part-time jobs around Equestria, but fails miserably in each one of them. One night, however, a job opportunity in the film industry of Applewood is revealed to her.
Since Fleur's design is similar to Princess Luna's, she is hired to be her stunt double for her newest action film. The first scene to be rolled is a "Car Jump" scene. Afterwards, in a western-like set, Fleur is forced to sip the orange juice Luna refused to drink. Finally, as the last major action scene of the movie, The Stuntmare drives a jet ski through a sinking cargo ship while carrying "classified" documents.
At the end of the comic Fleur can be seen wearing the scarf she so desperately wanted. While returning home, she discovers a house for sale. Fleur winks at the audience and the story finishes with her shooting another major action scene in the sky.
Trivia[]
- The movies Bullit (1968) and Speed (1994) inspired the "Car Jump" scene.
- At the end of the French version, the movie theater was changed to a Gaumont-Pathé cinema.
- In the wall with all the ads, a poster at the bottom makes a direct reference to the author's first published fan fiction, Good Heart (2015).
- The cargo ship that was sank during the "Waterworld" scene was based on the Exxon Valdez, an oil tanker responsible for one of the biggest oil spills in history.
- In Dark Rose (2016), the author's third fan fiction, Trixie's magic show was the same as the one seen in the comic. Fleur was the assistant split in half.
