here’s something they can study...
Discord.
the god of chaos.
they could write 30 books just on what he did before he was stoned alone.
they stay in ponyvile
and we get more discord lore.
everyone wins.
That actually makes a lot of sense. Plus, they wouldn't even need to track him down, he would just love the attention and stay around.
I absolutely agree
There is possibility that Discord would love to mess with them by providing false info. You know, like Joker said: "Sometimes I remember one way, sometimes another. I prefer multiple choice"
@@zachseabass7414
i don't think discord would do that well not as much you might think.
since being redeemed by fluttershy he actually made a effort to better himself.
he helped the mane 6 and the princesss's turn the mean 3 into stone...
after uniting them in the first place.
he might give them false information that's sprinkled with some truth.
or they could have fluttershy back up the information because he would never lie to her again... for the 3rd time and she would be able to tell what is and isn't a lie.
"Or is it more of an Aussie accent?" lol, you foreshadowed the reveal without knowing it.
Now if only Diamond Tiara, Gabby and Babs got a speaking role in this...
I'm just glad they're back, it seems Hasbro is finally listening to the fans. I think most of the season 9 episodes besides episode 200 were either ideas or fanfics thought up by fans. I've been avoiding the early episode leaks on UA-cam for season 9 because it's the last season and I really wanna be surprised. It's really hard considering the rumors that we've heard before season 9 started. And right now I'm really worried about Discord, which is something I never thought I'd ever say. They better make an episode explaining his behavior before the season's done.
Considering DT's talent, she could have helped them convince their parents quite effectively...
What abaout silver spoon
Since Scootaloo's parents are Steve irwin & Jane goodall her love for adventure makes even more sense.
And yet she’s afraid of the forest and caves.
@@arellajardin8188 To be fair she didn't originally seem to be too scared until she heard the stories in "Sleepless in ponyville".
I cant believe people dont recognize the dads hat. Its from a movie called Crocodile Dundee
Well Skeedaddle finding his knot-tying cutie mark was a fitting touch to add here. A way to tie the knot in the CMC story.
While I enjoyed this CMC episode, “Crusaders of the Lost Mark” is still my favorite one of all. But, “The Last Crusade” is special in its own way and I respect the way this story was handled. From Scootaloo’s parents debut to the CMC Appreciation Day ceremony, this is a very good episode overall.
I honestly have mixed feelings over the CMC crying at their treehouse. One side of me pities them, while the other finds it adorably hilarious
They definitely exagerrated it a little bit.
I think they could have made the scene more genuinely emotional if they toned it down and there was a lot of tight hugging and gloomy expressions.
If they wanted the parents to study something they've never seen before, I'm sure Discord would have been free XD
Studying him would take an eternity, so yeah, good idea
I was thinking the same, like hello... Discord is the most unique creature in existance. Plus they are friends with him.
But I see why they didn't do that since Discord wouldn't have willingly submit to being analyzed.
I'd go farther and say that he would be almost impossible to analyze even if it was voluntary. By definition he defies logic in nearly everything he does. How do you scientifically analyze something that won't stay consistent?
Now I'm just waiting for AppleGeek's reaction! His checkmark will go up so fast!
This was pretty great conclusion to the CMC story arc. Their arc has been one that I was kind of meh about in the beginning of the series, but it later grew into one of the more engaging ones for me as the series went on, especially when we hit Crusaders of the Lost Mark. I was really, really hoping we'd get to see Scootaloo's parents in the show before it ended, and I'm glad we did, and got a good explanation as to why they aren't around. Also, I absolutely loved seeing every single character the CMCs helped all at once in that last scene. It really puts into perspective how far they've come.
Everyone's talking about Aunt Holiday and Aunt Lofty and Scootaloo's parents and I'm just here silently tearing up at the little awkward wave Diamond Tiara sent in the Crusaders' general direction when the topic of them changing other ponies' lives forever came up.
I felt a great disturbance in the Fandom, as if millions of fanfic writers cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
Unless they further address Scootaloo's flight, I suspect the CMC story arc is complete. The only other possibility I see is that they play into Cozy Glow's arc, but I suspect the Student Six will play that role, instead.
And thus, a million head canons and thousands of fanfics burst into flames. Even I was confident that she was an orphan. Really puts what she said in Parental Glidance in a new light. “Growing up, I never thought I'd be the best at anything, because nopony ever told me.”
Damn, crossing “Rainbow Dash’s parents adopt Scootaloo” off my wish list.
Extra Extra! Fimfic's story count just dropped by a few hundreds! XD
She may be named after Jane Goodall, but IMO, I think they both are visually and vocally based on Steve and Terri just with hair/mane colors switched and elements of Crocodile Dundee and Jane Goodall added in respectively.
Cards on the table: when I first joined the fandom at the very beginning, I thought the CMC's were annoying as sin (the talent show episode really cringed; it has grown on me overtime). Seasons go by their stories became some of the most endearing of the series, especially Crusaders of the Lost Mark.
While not on the exact same chord as that episode (the songs helped a ton), this was a very fitting conclusion to the CMC's long journey. Another end to the era. Kudos to the Cutie Mark Crusaders, may they forever live on in our hearts.
They would talk about the weather factory in a Scootaloo episode.
Scootaloo’s folks mirror that of Arnold’s long-lost parents.
Oh hey, Babs is in the background. I never noticed that
I'm still kinda salty my parents did the exact same thing to me back in elementary. Either way, it's always the most wholesome episodes in this show that I seem to love the most. It might not surpass Crusaders of the Lost Mark in my opinion, but that's not to saw it wasn't sweet and a great episode by far. We're close to half-way done with this season, and I'm not ready to say goodbye just yet.
Anybody else notice the obvious Crocodile Hunter reference?
Why is it that I can cry over this episode,but no matter how hard I try I can't shed a tear for The Perfect Pear? 😭. Trust me I have tried to force myself to cry for it but got nothing, which is terrible as it's one of the best episodes ever!
I really wanted them to say something like the CMCs being closer to Scoot than the parents were in a sense. Or RD saying she was like family. Because they really are. It's also no doubt Scoot spent more time with them than the parents, despite how much she also loves them. The fact that RD, takes time out of her life, to look after Scoots in place of actual family members? Should have definitely brought it up more. Though it was nice that RD seemed quite passionate about the ordeal by the end.
15:00 This was actually a good idea... if it was a FUSION potion.
-> As the *Alicorn of Cutiemarks* ; "they" would technically also be _"in charge of Destiny"_ ; so *they* would decide whatever they want to do and where...
Also, the simple fact that 2/3 of _their_ components live in Ponyville would outweight any "demands" Scootaloo´s Parent may have [simply because Applebloom´s family actually *needs* her & Sweetie Belle´s family PREFERS her not moving out].
I thought of Steve and Terry Irwin as well. But his hat got me thinking of Crocodile Dundee.
17:22 - but on the other hand, they never once used the "We're your parents, so you have to do as we say" card..
I know this episode is quite old at this point, and I've only recently started watching your reactions, but each time I see this specific episode it reminds me of my own experiences that I don't hear/see get talked often. I feel like what Scootaloo goes through here is very relatable for American military children, who often have to move as their parent(s)' command sends them to different places to live. My own experience had both of my parents out of town/country serving so I didn't see them every day like others my age, and my life was uprooted every four or five years roughly for something new. I had no choice in it, until they finally retired from the service and we became more 'civilian-like' in our lives. I really see and understand this from Scoot's POV, but I get her parents' POV as well. It's a completely bittersweet situation.
From a pure lesson standpoint I would have preferred if Scootaloo would have had to leave.
This makes it seem like kids could do anything about such situations, instead of learning to cope with the results
I completely agree. They missed a huge chance to advise the kids at home on how to deal with this situtation when it happens, but instead the CMC were able to get their own way.
I understand the given reasons in the episode, but I do feel like an opportunity was missed for a bittersweet sendoff to one of the longest established cast members that could have gone down as one of the best episodes of the show.
i like that your thumbnail is you laughing as the CMCs are crying their eyes out
Definitely chosen on purpose as out-of-context clickbait lol
24:36 - nono, I *do* understand completely. Call me crazy, but I would've loved to have seen that _more._ Scootaloo accepts that she has to leave with her parents, and it would be a tearful goodbye, but as long as there's love...friendship love...they'll never truly be apart. Snap Shutter was absolutely right. Their cutie marks represent that they'll be best friends forever no matter where they are or go. I like that.. ^_^
My abandonment issues really rear up with the breakup of the CMC. I get misty every time still.
Man I love your reactions.... They are always so enjoyable. You do a great job with showing interest in every story and you manage to pick up on most everything fairly easily and quickly.
When Applebloom came in with the potion I had an image in my mind that it would fuse there whole bodies together. kind of like how potara fusion works in dragon ball Z with the Kai earrings.
I wasn't sad either, but I had empathetic welling too! Good to know I wasn't the only one. :03
YES. He has the crocodile dundee hat but I'm going with Steve Irwin pony. I see Scoot's parents as fused references to the irwins, crocodile dundee, and Jane goodall.
"pack your things"
*"There it is"*
It was great to see Babs Seed again after all these years. I hope she'll make one proper appearance before the series ends. Same with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon as they hardly even talked that much since the Crusaders got their Cutie Marks.
I also agree this was one of the best CMC episodes, with all those ponies and creatures they helped throughout the series. :)
30:35 Wait a tick Babs AND TWIST were in this episode?? Oh my goodness, now I'm happy!
I'd totally cry just by seeing that they remembered it and for an important moment such as this too.
👏 👏
The look of the cryptic creature that the CMC creates reminds me alot of the Catoblepas from classic D&D
best CmC episode ever. I loved how her parents were a nod to the Irwins. I was a huge fan of them as a kid and it broke my heart he died, and to see him referenced in the show was fantastic. At least Babs was there in the background. She could if not appeared at all. It's amazing how these three characters have grow over the series. We will all miss them when the show ends.
hope you're having a wonderful day or night luffy, always great seeing new reacts from you, from the music choices for intros to what you have to say, always a pleasure!
2:35 Yeah, I thought the same thing. He's a Bondage Master.
7:48 Speaking of genetics, now we know why she has a flying issue. One of her parents is an Earther.
8:10 Oh, it's coming....
9:33 I know! Right? That's why I was so mad when the writers farbed it up at the end.
9:50 Yeah. This is how they're dealing with it: by giving kids false hope that there's some way to stay with their friends.
15:03 Yeah. This is different, though. The Washouts were just a daredevil team. Parents have total authority over their kids. If the parents decide to move, the kid is going with and there's nothing the kid can do about it.
17:08 Yeah. That's what parent's do. They make the decisions and the kid's input on the matter is dead on arrival.
17:42 Oh, I can't speak for Rarity, but Applejack will be PAAAAAH-LEEEENNNY pissed off with your running away AB.
19:59 Yeah. What do you think those gold things on her huuvz are?
This was a great episode, but I had the misfortune of having the parent information spoiled for me thanks to a UA-cam recommendations thumbnail a month ago. I am genuinely upset that the reveal of her parents was not a surprise because of that.
Oh I've been waiting for you to watch this episode my dude.
Stache King me too
Technically Babs was in this episode, you can see her in the background at the treehouse.
And she was at the party at the end. :03
I can't believe Scootaloo aunts show up in the show and most importantly her parents is here finally yes
At the time this episode aired, despite it being called "The Last Crusade", my guess was that we'd still get at least one more CMC episode. Guess we'll see if that happens.
I'm actually a bit disappointed overall by this episode.
They showed Scoot's aunts, but very carefully skirted around officially establishing what their relationship was. (Which doesn't surprise me, but does disappoint me, especially after all the pre-episode hype about it.)
Then they introduced the "parents moving away" conflict, which *could* have been a relatable lesson for kids, but then undercut it by having the parents abandon the idea of taking Scoot with them.
The actual reveal of the parents was really the only high point in the episode for me.
I actually agree that the episode would carry so much more weight is Scootaloo had to leave. Such a bittersweet sendoff for one of the longest standing characters could have ended up as one of the most emotional episodes of the show. Instead, we ended up being emotionally manipulated, which isn't too cool.
It also gives false hope to children in the same situation at home that they can change their parents choice with enough complaining.
@@luffyiscool They basically said to children that you MUST either have to:
a) Abide to you parent´s will no matter how horrible it may be.
b) Somehow convince them of "transfering" their ownership (because you are their slave/property) to some other family member [like the sister of the father].
c) Getting a *legal emancipation* from them by yourself [something that requires both already having a "valid job" & some political figure that recognizes it as such] so their "opinion" does not matter, since you are "an adult" under The Law.
-> Rainbow Dash had to wait until she got to certain age (on her birthday, obviously) to move away from her parents (having a cutiemark was not enough, she had to be "employable").
The show did a weird mix of "b" & "c" [likely to avoid Scootaloo from going from "pseudo-orphan" to ACTUALLY _homeless_ ].
I thought it was a brilliant play around censors, sneaking a same sex couple into the show by leaving just enough plausible deniability. The has too many restrictions to be able to come right out and say there's non-hetero characters but the writers still sneak them in however they can.
The Aunts didn't live in ponyville, yea they looked after Scootaloo, but if you recall, we also learn the Cakes looked after her so they weren't always in ponyville. The aunts had their own house that Scootaloo had to take a train to, as we saw here when she had her bags at the station. It wasn't far from ponyville so they could still visit to watch her from time to time. But by the end they had actually decided to move into Ponyville, so Scootaloo can now live with them permanently. Also I really love Holiday and her beautiful accent
I mentioned the correction in this very video lol
@@luffyiscool I realized that after i posted, a reminder to watch the entire thing before doing so again derp. X3
I thought kinda the same thing, going into this episode: knew it was about Scoots and her parents, the episode name, figuring last CMC episode and Hasbro actually having her leave and tons of kids crying (wouldn't be the first time coughOptimuscough). Was fully prepared to cry by the end of the episode though--also memories of the end of Doremi Dokkan flooding back--feel like I was damned lucky.
Wow scootaloo’s father is Steve Irwin 😂😂😂
The cragodile hunter
People have pointed out that Rainbow's parents should have been there as well as Rumble. I thought Zecora should have been present too, but at least she got a shout out. :)
I saw a lot of people elsewhere who were saying that Scootaloo's dad was supposed to be Dr. Grant from Jurassic Park despite how obvious it is that it's Steve Irwin. It's kind of upsetting to me that such an amazing person has been forgotten by younger generations like that.
This episode is great, as is the next one. This season has been amazing. I've not been this excited to see the next episode each week since season 4. And now I've got to wait until August 3rd before I can see the last few morsels of this wonderful part of my life.
Paul Hogan the pony. "That ain't a knife, this... this is a knife." Hot damn.
EDIT: Paul Hogan played the Crocodile Dundee, who the dad was likely based on as well. The hat is a dead giveaway.
There are multiple elements that went into his design, but Jim Miller confirmed that the dad is meant to be Steve Irwin :)
Shire Lanka sounds more Middle Earth than it does Equestrian to me. lol. And yeah, Equestrian Sri Lanka. I wonder if Shire Lanka is the name both the country and the capital. lol
*I was hoping this season was going to reveal her parents, and I'm glad they did. It was something I always wanted to see, scootaloo reunited with her parents😂.Now its fingers crossed she's gunna fly this season too😂.*
I hope Scoot keeps the hat :3
It's funny that you were disappointed in the lack of Babs and then two weeks later. Sure she doesn't talk, but it's better than nothing. Also, we're apparently getting an Equestria Girls Special a month after the MLP one.
Also, interestingly, apparently Mexico will be airing that EG special the same day the US gets the MLP one.
@Jonny Manz. Do you think someone could get their hands on an English version at that time?
@@thebeavpercabethftw9604 It's certainly possible - if it's common practice on Latin American television to air the original language as a secondary audio track. I mean, that's how we got the English versions of the Magical Movie Night EG specials a month or two in advance of their airing on Discovery Family, when they aired on... whatever the Polish channel MLP airs on is called (because apparently it's standard practice for Polish TV to do that)
Or it could be like how the early Italian releases for season 9 worked, where the English version was posted to an on-demand service run by the Italian channel airing them (or something like that).
No guarantees, obviously, but it's a distinct possibility that the English version could pop up nearly a month in advance of the Discovery Family airing.
they have been bringing a lot of old characters back this season, makes me think that they are going to pull a everyone fighting together final, like gravity falls.
Damn them... They made my SWEETIE BELLE CRY. DAMN IT. >:
When I first watched this episode, it kinda felt similar to Surf and/or Turf, but with much higher stakes.
I also originally read into the title as the CMC having an argument, like in said episode, and breaking up.
I am glad that that wasn’t the case and that they will continue to use their talents, but I would’ve been alright if Scootaloo did go with her parents.
I need to know now Does Celestia wear slippers? and are they shaped like Luna?
Just like Rainbow's slippers shaped like Tank. Shaped after the one they care about.
Fans: Is Scootaloo an orphan
Writers: ......
Fans: Fanfic writers TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!
Many years later
Writers: Releases Season 9, Episode 12 - The Last Crusade
Fans: FUCK!!!
i know you’ve said in the past that you sometimes look at synopsis’s of episodes.
might want to avoid episode 14th’s.
i read the synopsis for that one and it was a pretty big spoiler or at least to me it was.
not going to say what it was or what it involves but it would be better for your sake and ours if you go into that one completely blind.
that seems to air in august so we got a month break of no mlp.
Oh, I only looked at some season 8 synopsis's out of impatience during a hiatus,
I've been as blind as possible for season 9
While it definitely does seem like the last CMC episode, I hope they'll still have a role in the finale (or an episode setting up the finale), maybe involving Cozy Glow.
5:40 - Tis a necessary sacrifice.
She's based on Jane? Omg, sweeeeet!
I wished Diamond Tiara would have given the parents a talk about shitty parenting.
Don't worry Luffy I thought it was supposed to be Terry Irwin at first too.
you know, until i hear you saying that this will be the last cmc episode, i just realize, we wont see scootaloo flying
Gonna be real I legit thought scootaloo would end up leaving. So relieved she didn't though lol
my little fillies. lies are magic.
The morale is too bitch your parents and they will let you stay...
Even as a younger adult having to move from the country to the city...
I was terrified, and I didn't want anything to do with it...
But got used it after many years...I enjoy the city life much more than the country.
19:55 Well, we saw Luna's slippers in one episode. So why not?)
Even with all the annotations, I'm still not convinced that Mane Allgood *ISN'T* supposed to be referencing Terri Irwin. My theory is that she's supposed to be Terri, but they just wanted an excuse to make another horse pun.
Big Jim confirmed on Twitter that the ponies were based on Steven Irwin and Jane Goodall, which is the only reason I ended up knowing.
This episode is great in my book. Great reaction!
VideoGameFan96 I haven’t watched this episode on my own yet but I know I’m giving it a 10/10
I actually watched this episode on my own.
Good grief Trouble Shoes is BIG!
It was good to see Scootaloo's parents. Looks like Snap Shutter has Australian accent like Rolling Thunder, but I hope he and Mane Allgood don't find out what Scootaloo did, when she joined the Washouts.
At the ending there were returning characters. In this case, is there going to be an episode where the Diamond Dogs return? We haven't heard of them since the first season.
Also at the ending Queen Novo should have appeared and congratulated the girls for helping her nephew decide where to live, and for tutoring her niece. And as a reward, she should have been giving them magic pearl necklaces. And I believe Novo is willing to forgive Twilight and give her and her friends necklaces too, as a sign of forgiveness.
Cheerilee mentioned show and tell. If the Crusaders would do there sea pony transformation in front of the class the students would be amazed, and after school they would go to Twilight's castle and ask her to make necklace copies. I think Sandbar also wants a necklace since he has turtles for a cutie mark. If he transforms into a sea pony, he could see how the turtles live underwater. He could also show that to his friends and then we'd get to see how would Gallus, Smolder and Yona look as sea creatures. Twilight should also make a necklace copy for Sunset Shimmer. If the Ponyville school students would wait for Cheerilee in the classroom while being transformed into sea ponies, and Cheerilee enters she would say: - Oh my! Did my classroom turned into an aquarium? It seems.
The Wonderbolts did a performance. Rumble also wants to be a Wonderbolt but if he would have necklace, not only we're going to see how he looks as a seapony but if he transforms the other members into sea ponies they could do a water performance.
If Scootaloo would go on a vacation with her parents and aunts to the beach they could go on an underwater adventure. When the parents retire they could move to Ponyville and Scootaloo can live with them, but by that time she'll grow up.
If Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood are adventurers that means they are similar to Kazuma Tsukumo and Mira Tsukumo, the parents of Yuma Tsukumo from Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal. And in my opinion Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal needs more episodes. In the final episode we have seen Yuma and his friends going to Astral World to stop an evil threat. But we didn't get to know what the threat was, which left us with a cliffhanger.
Bence Major that queen novo thing would be a cool idea for a fanfic. :03
@@pundertalefan4391 I have lots good ideas. I am good aren't I?
They were stuck in an ubisoft game
Hello and back once again,
Rygorn here.
Insert"papyrus,boi!"meme here
(Deep breath in)
(Deep breath out)
I really.... don't like how they represented scootaloo's parents in the episode here.
Sorry in advanced,most of my questions are mostly ranting.
1.First off,her parents?
This was quite the shocker to me.
Originally at the end of Parental Glidance,I had two theories,
Theory A: Scootaloo had abusive parents.
Theory B: Scootaloo is an orphan.
I really thought this show wouldn't go the darker route but color me surprised.
Her parents are living representation of putting your work before family.They chose to leave their Ponyville alone with the care of holiday and loyalty. Anyways what do you think of her parents because let me get my Worst parent list here whose at the bottom:
hmm...Spoilt Rich
Well time to add two more to the list.
3."Nopony else can do our job"
In the distance you can hear Daring Do growling in anger.
4.They know that Rainbow is her "sister" right?
Did they not consider how would she feel?
5.This episode would have been so much better if say sweetie belle's parents were the ones trying to convince sweetie to move.
Do you agree or do you have another suggestion?
6.They only start getting worried when sombra returned and destroyed the tree of harmony.
Yeah that's when you should worry not when The literal embodiment of nightmare returned and nearly eclipsed all of equestrian in eternal darkness,not when The Lord of chaos returned and turned Ponyville into utter mayhem Or lets not forget about when tirek absorbed all of equestrian's magic and nearly destroyed everything. I'm not saying that sombra destroying wasn't important,I'm saying that should have responded earlier.
1. Lauren Faust once said that Scootaloo's parents have important jobs and she usually has babysitters, and this episode seemed to honor what Faust said. Scootaloo doesn't hold their job against them, in fact she seems quite proud of the work they do for the betterment of all ponies. They're portrayed as researcher heroes like Indiana Jones. Scootaloo said that the only reason she didn't go with them is that it was too dangerous. That actually sounds reasonable, considering her age. What they do is important, but that also means they can't drag a filly along with them.
3. Technically, their style may be the same, but their goals and objectives differ.
4. They didn't know much about Scootaloo's ponyville situation because they've been away, this was in fact a pretty realistic portrayal. Kids will object to moving no matter who they are, so they probably expected that she'd put up some resistance, but hey just weren't prepared for how important this specific case was.
5. My suggestion is that a part of me actually wanted Scootaloo to go, just to help the kids at home watching this episode who went through similar things. It could have been a really important bittersweet moment with real weight to it.
6. I think they're like Daring Do, they're often pretty isolated from society.
The Dad even said he was looking forward to eating an ice cream sundae because the jungle doesn't have those, implying they've been out in the wilderness for a long long time. They're kinda like Arnold's parents from Hey Arnold! He was always saying throughout the show that his parents were badass and always far away doing wonderful things, and others found him difficult to believe. But then they eventually showed up and were exactly as he described.
I’m glad Apple Bloom cried in this episode that stupid little pony doesn’t deserve to be happy!
So Luffy, there's a couple of MLP specials around the corner. Tomorrow is Rainbow Roadtrip, a FiM TV movie. But then there's also the new EQG special that I think is coming next month, which I've already watched through leaks.
I don't know anything about the FiM special, so I couldn't say anything about the quality, but the new EQG is really good. It's definitely up there with Rainbow Rocks and Friendship Games in my books. It might be one you want to react to. It's definitely a lot higher quality than some of the more recent specials.
Good to know! I was on the fence about reacting to more EQG,
since I've been away from it for so long, but you've convinced me to give it a shot.
I'll probably react to spring breakdown too, since I haven't seen that yet.
@@luffyiscool Spring Breakdown was really meh for me, but I've seen a lot of other people give it praise, and you're a lot more optimistic about shit than I am, so I do think that's another one you might like.
The moral of the story is “if you complain enough you get whatever you want “
Actually, the parents ignored the complaining.
Scootaloo then went for a different option, the more mature one.
They showed the parents how important the CMC's job is, and how taking Scootaloo away would ruin all of that and stop them from helping ponies. The parents found it relateable to their own important work and agreed that Scootaloo should be able to stay. It was something that could only happen in this specific situation.
Pause at 13:24 😂😂😂
Headcannons just die in every minute, the tragedy wont end.
This ep is very cute but Scootaloo's excitement when she heard the parents kinda contradicted what she said to RD in 'Parental Glideance'.
Scootaloo: [sighs] Me. Growing up, I never thought I'd be the best at anything, because nopony ever told me. But your parents told you over and over again.
I really want to enjoy this ep as much as people do but I cant get this retcon out of my head right now, something just doesn't fit. A few case of retcons that doesn't work.
Lambdadelta they were gone. And her aunts didn't live there full time. So what she said before still stands.
This episode ruined my headcanon that she was a homeless orphan lol
MLP:FiM, ruining headcanons since 2012.
Same but pretty sure some Fan Fiction writers will keep Scootaloo as a Orphan and say that his Parents are Dead,
This is literally a Kids show so “Death” is pretty much not gonna happen here
Sad but good episode and I love the designed of school dues parents and Aunt it was a set up a said and a happy episode
30:35 dang shouldn’t Babs seed get a Line in this episode or at least a Mention?
It looked like Babs seed just came to Pony vile just to meet her Cousin Again.
Her dad is Crocodile Dundee.
She better keep that hat.
Jim Miller officially stated that the father is meant to be Steven Irwin and the mother is Jane Goodall.
@@luffyiscool But that introduction, though...
Not saying you were wrong, but that's how I saw him.
It's possible to have multiple flavors in your inspiration, but all I know is that Jim said he's supposed to be Steve Irwin overall.

I notice on your ratings doc that you have future episode titles listed. I don't know where you're getting those, but be very careful. Sometimes they put massive spoilers in the episode descriptions on those sites, like the Wiki, even before the episode is out. It lead to a few of the spoilers that I got hit with last season.
I got them from here, so no worries about accidental synopsis:

I don't think you should give them a hard time for not giving Babs Seed some of the spotlight, which I can agree would be wonderful to see not only because it's been awhile since her last appearance, but also considering the fact that the show is almost drawing to a close and it would feel awful if we didn't at least get SOME form of closure to certain characters like her. However, I think there has to be some logical reason why they hadn't done that so far because if they could then they definitely would've done so already don't you think? My guess is that perhaps the voice actor just isn't available for some reason? I don't have all the facts, but that seems to be the most logical excuse to me for why they didn't give her some kind of action in the foreground here. It's strange, but I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt since I (or any of us) don't know the full context behind these decisions. Though, assuming the show staff didn't care about Babs and pushed her aside as an "afterthought" because she was next to someone like Twist was a bit too extreme, albeit understandable from emotion.
I wasn't being 100% literal, I only said what it seemed like from a certain perspective.
@@luffyiscool Alright then, that's my mistake. It's sometimes hard for me to really grasp what someone truly meant or not because there's just never any clear way to always tell that. I know there are signs and all, but sometimes it just happens to be somewhat vague and not that transparent, especially when the information is written in text like you did by the end. Hopefully, you get the idea.
This episode kinda tears me apart. I really wanna love it, but I feel it makes some huge mistakes. It's a good episode as far as tying up the CMC's story. But the part where it goes horribly wrong is that the parents let Scootaloo stay for the complete wrong reason, and I'm sad no other character confronted them for their absolute garbage treatment and neglect of Scootaloo. You can't just abandon your daughter for her entire childhood and then come back thinking you can tear her away from everything and everyone she knows and holds dear (the aunts, CMC, Rainbow Dash, and even RD's parents have been more of a family to her than her parents). Sorry, but the fact that they think they can do that and that nobody called them out for it just sits so wrong with me. The parents never ended up seeing the error of their ways. They should've been forced to make a decision between their job and their daughter. Instead they were basically patted on the back and told "You know how job always goes ahead of your own family, so surely you understand Scootaloo thinks the same way" and the parents responded "We sure do. So we'll just abandon her again". That's a completely backwards moral in this situation. They should've seen how much Ponyville meant to Scootaloo, but instead they just appreciated their own selfish way of thinking so damn much that THAT'S what changed their mind. Like, c'mon now, that's not a very good lesson. And it's disappointing, cause this could've been fixed with simply changing "We see how much Ponyville needs you so we'll let you stay" to "We see how much Ponyville means to you, and we apologise for being away for so long and then trying to take you away from here". They could've thrown in a line about the CMC's importance as a side-note, not as the damn key to the conflict of the episode. So yeah, not a fan of those parents, which is okay (I don't have to like every character), but I'm mostly disappointed about the fact the other characters didn't do what they should have. Closest we got was the aunts questioning their decision, but even that wasn't so much. I was hoping they'd really lay down the law on the parents. At the end of the day, I think there's something immensely wrong with the outcome that it's the AUNTS who turn their whole life upside down and make a big sacrifice for the sake of Scootaloo's happiness, and not her own parents, and they don't even apologise for abandoning her again (yeah, I know they said they'll keep in contact, but that hardly counts).
Firstly, I think saying that her parents "abandoned" her for the entirety of her childhood is exaggerating the issue. Time in and of itself in this show is kind of convoluted and not that well established so I think it's unfair to accuse her parents that way and it's very clear that Scootaloo HAS spent time with them before.
As for her parents treating Scoots like garbage, well you can already guess I don't agree with that. Her parents thought, with the best intentions for the FAMILY, that they can live together permanently once and for all from all the time spent being separated for quite some time, to be sure. It wasn't right for them to just pull Scootaloo out of her life in Ponyville, but it also wouldn't be right for them to completely abandon their lives work and passion just like that either (which I'm sure no one would want to), unless under the circumstance that they're literally back against a wall with no other options, but that wasn't the focal point of the episode. The conflict isn't "choose between daughter or passion job" and I don't think it should've been, it was about coming to a judicious accommodation that everyone can be satisfied with because one or the other wasn't too happy with the situation. Never in this episode did the parents ever gave off the vibe that they appreciated and cared more for their job than Scootaloo... the only thing that was clearly established was that their parents (like any person would normally if they had a passion job) loved doing what they were "destined" to do and that's it; never once was it stated or vaguely hinted that they cared less for Scootaloo than their job which is far from the truth considering they had their honest (not ill-intended) reasons for going out on their expeditions, not even mentioning the fact that they've clearly spent time with her beforehand so it would be irrational to assume that they literally missed out on her "entire" childhood. Painting the parents as selfish when it's shown that that's not what they actually feel and exude (despite their obvious mistakes that the episode points out), makes me think you didn't understand the point and purpose of the episode's narrative and motives behind the parent's decisions. Parents with kids and a whole family CAN get caught up in their jobs a lot of the time, BUT that doesn't mean that they don't love their kids and kin and less than the job itself. Like I said, I think if the parents were literally backed against a wall then they would definitely be willing to sacrifice a lot more (like their jobs) just to be with Scootaloo, however, that wasn't only not the focus nor the point of the episode, but that particular circumstance just hasn't had a modest chance of being a prominent factor within the architecture of the conflict itself given what we were shown. In other words, it never felt 100% necessary to resort to this (even if it would've been a very nice to see) and I feel like you expected or hoped for this to happen a little too much to the point were you were left feeling "betrayed" and disappointed at the outcome.
Look I don't meant to come off as "that guy" that tells you that you're wrong and you don't know what you're talking about, because that's not what I'm trying to do. I just can't agree with what you're saying here at all and find it hard that this is what you got out of the episode. Don't take it the wrong way, I'm just giving my own thoughts and opinions based on everything here.
Wait scootloo father is steve Irwin and Jane Goodall
Luffyiscool you got TO WACT MLP EG SE 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Again this is way late I have been watching your reactions of my favorite episodes but I dont think the father is Steve Irwin because of his hat. That hat is from a movie called Crocodile Dundee. So i think they are Mick Dundee and Jane Godall.
Well. That answered many fan question/requests, except for seeing Scootaloo fly.
WHY NOT YET!?!?!?!?
I think they are either saving that for the finale or they are just gonna go with the lazy answer of she has a disability.
Guys.... they've been hammering in her disability for a LONG time now.
It's been confirmed forever. Stop giving yourselves false hope.
It's been addressed multiple times that she can't do it, and we've gotten several plots relating to the consequences and how she feels about them.
@@luffyiscool I know, though I'm still lowkey expecting it since, this show always can come up with a twist.
But throwing a twist in for no good reason would be the truly lazy option. I consider her a much more interesting character as someone who deals with the hand she was given and lives her best life regardless.
Also, kids at home with disabilities probably look up to Scootaloo as an inspiration for dealing with their own permanent problems. I feel like Scootaloo being able to fly would actually hurt them and let them down, since they can't have that for themselves. For me it's much more important to keep letting Scootaloo be a positive role model in accepting your limitations and being the best you can be in spite of them.
@@luffyiscool That makes sense.
