** Rumble is one to Starlight Glimmer. Both believe cutie marks are harmful, and both use their charisma to encourage other ponies to follow their lead. They even both get songs about why they don't like cutie marks. Both also have a philosophy born out of fear of obtaining a cutie mark that separates them from others they love or respect, with Sunburst getting his mark and going to Canterlot causing Starlight's and Rumble being afraid his cutie mark won't match up with Thunderlane's path of becoming a Wonderbolt. However, there are also a few differences between them: [[IndividualityIsIllegal Starlight was preaching against individuality]], while Rumble is encouraging the other ponies to be themselves. They're also on opposite sides of the OrderVsChaos spectrum, as Rumble is the latter by challenging the established view of cutie marks. What's more, they're afraid to try activities for different reasons. Starlight used to avoid activities with the Mane 6 because she feared she would be bad at them. Rumble avoided the activities at camp because he was afraid he'd be ''too good'' at them.
** He is also one to the Crusaders themselves; while they help and encourage ponies to gain their cutie marks, he encourages them to not even try to find their talents.

* HoldYourHippogriffs: An interesting subversion of this trope occurs when Apple Blooms recounts Granny's saying, "Some ponies have to find their own hay." In Equestria, this would be a perfectly serviceable adage. However, Scootaloo then asks whether it should actually end with "way", not "hay" (as it does in RealLife), and Apple Bloom agrees.

This is not a Strawman fallacy. See the discussion page for an explanation.


* StrawmanFallacy: Despite being an ArmorPiercingQuestion to the CMC, Rumble's question about the last time Apple Bloom used her potion-making abilities falls under the "accent" clause, changing the question to ask when instead of focusing on the fact that she has (because doing so would invalidate his point right off the bat). In addition, Apple Bloom may not remember herself, but she has done it and proved decent at it multiple times in the past -- in "The Cutie Pox", "Hearts and Hooves Day", and "Twilight Time" -- and even the accent question could be easily refuted if Rumble even bothered to ask Twilight Sparkle or Zecora about it.

* HypocriticalHumor: On the first day of camp, Rumble fakes being skilled at rowing a boat, archery, dancing, and writing poems. Yet during his song, he performs all four activities adeptly.

* BrokenAesop: Maybe not so much irreparably broken as very zigzaggy. The episode's ultimate Aesop is that being well-rounded is an important thing, but when Rumble asks Apple Bloom when the last time she made potions with Zecora was, she's lost for an answer. The CMC admit to themselves that while their future ''will'' be filled with more cutie mark-centric activities than anything else, it's only because they love it so much and are passionate about it. Rumble loves flying and prefers to focus on his future as a Wonderbolt, but this is presented as not okay.

* TheAce: Thunderlane joins the Cutie Mark Crusaders at the end of the episode to help convince Rumble that the Cutie Mark isn't a label. While his main talent is flying, he manages to effectively deconstruct Rumble's philosophy by proving himself competent at multiple things when he joins in on the activities.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: While trying to convince Rumble that a Cutie Mark doesn't restrict you to one thing, Apple Bloom tells him that, despite her talent being to help other ponies with their Cutie Marks, she still enjoys making potions with Zecora. Rumble asks her when was the last time she did that, and she finds herself unable to answer.

* HiddenDepths: Thunderlane is a SupremeChef along with being a Wonderbolt. Funnily enough, he's a SupremeChef ''because'' he's a Wonderbolt, since the Wonderbolts take turns preparing meals. Thunderlane just started really enjoying it.
** Rumble turns out to be shades of this, according to his brother. He's actually good at some of the activities the cutie mark crusaders gave him, he just pretended not to be.
