The Cutie Mark Crusaders

again, I want to defend the Cutie Mark Crusaders from My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic. I will post my old argument for them along with something new.

I don't know what the complaints are for Apple Bloom. and as for Sweetie Belle, since when does being a little underdeveloped automatically make a character bad? and I do find it a bit hard to look past Scootaloo's apparent Aesop Amnesia sometimes but I have thought of some Fridge Brilliance to justify it. Scoot idolizes Rainbow Dash(FYI, I love Rainbow and am not tying to put blame on her) and the older Pegasus doesn't seem to get the whole "discovering who you are" part of gaining a cutie mark either. so Scootaloo isn't gonna get it because Rainbow doesn't get it. and as the de facto leader of the Crusaders, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle are just going to be strung along with Scoot's(innocent) cluwelessness until she realizes the right way to get a cutie mark. besides that, Scootaloo is just a KID. we can't really expect her to do the right thing just yet.

and something else I just realized, the biggest complaints about Scootaloo come from just one episode, "the Cutie Mark Chronicles". I admit I too found Scoot's attitude about the stories and sweetness a bit much but in other episode she is far less dismissive of "girly" things. I am convinced this is just a case of Depending on the Writer.

I love the CMC. I don't think they are as hated as you think.

Vocal Minority tends to be ...very vocal.

Make your hearth shine through the darkest night; let it transform hate into kindness, evil into justice, and loneliness into love.

There's like three topics on MLP. Did we need more?

[up] I count five. This is sixth.

On topic: I personally dislike the CMC because they don't have distinct personalities. I don't hate them, but to me they've never been more entrertaining than the Mane 6.

Brony 99, please quit crusading about every damn subject that causes outrage in you. If people are wrong on the internet, please let them be wrong and don't clutter the board with pointless essays about the subject.

I really hope this time you didn't send Lauren Faust five DA-messages about the subject.
