Everytime I see Flutter and AJ together I remember how much I love this pairing. Two of the most down-to-earth ponies together, and yet in some ways they are still opposites that compliment each other. AJ's stubborness, with Flutter's patience and kindness, seems to work really well together. Also, love Gabby sm. I feel like I'm like her sometimes on days when I have a ton of energy lol (which is not often but still relatable).
I agree. But I really like how this is essentially the show defending its thesis: that society is based on key elements of ‘friendship’, but these range from simple respect and common decency, to the broader aspects. The first map episodes were overt about the actions of the main 6 got the surroundings to change. The residents in Griffonstone, the hoofeilds and maccolts, and that manehattan neighborhood were outright rude, or so incredibly uncaring, and by the end of the episode the difference made is clear, and what was taught is simply common decency. But in this season the map is more abstract. Rarity and Pinkie’s mission in Spice up your life isn’t about making canterlot decent, it’s about keeping its society diverse and celebrating cultural flavors. Aj and flutter’s mission in Viva las pegasus isn’t about making las pegasus decent, its about stopping gladmane’s predatory business practice from spreading to the other resorts when he would have taken them over. The show runners do disguise it under more regular definitions of a ‘friendship problem’ but I like that theres a deeper reason every time the mane 6 specifically are called out in pairs.
TLDR yes, but I like how the ‘friendship problems’ are usually of a large scope, so it justifies the map not sending them anytime anyone has any argument. Last season we turned around the spread of general jerkieness. This season we’re stopping bad practices before they spread any further.
@@serpentmaster1323 Funnily enough I only recently learnt the meaning of that acronym but yeah I did read all don’t worry. 1) agreed, it’s very true that most problems in our world could be solved or prevented with the key ‘elements’ of friendship and it’s really cool of the show to explore that. 2) same, I love the many different types of problems that they tackle including the broader ones. I read and also write a lot, but not always. Hence my initial extremely brief single worded response, my bad if it seemed like I didn’t actually read the comment.
@serpentmaster1323 I love the portrayal of the map as some kind of benevolent omniscient magical AI that identifies the single personal relationship domino that needs to be nudged to produce a ripple effect that reshapes an entire community. Whether it's actually seeing the future or just has extreme predictive capability, it's actively managing the timeline with the lightest possible touch.
That couple in the beginning actually have fencing and diving treasure cutie marks so it makes it far more understandable they were worried about their daughter being a pirate who dug around for treasure! XP
I honestly wish we saw more of gabby, she’s so different compared to other griffins and I really wanted to see her bring joy back to her home, I would also just like to see her more
I love "The Fault in our Cutie Marks" because everything flows so naturally. So often TV shows have characters acting in the way that's needed to move the story along, but here all the characters seem to be acting a way that just feels like how they would act if the situation happened in real life. The CMC weren't sure if a griffin cutie mark was possible, so they asked for advice on the theory. They realized pretty quickly that what Gabby really wanted was the sense of purpose and belonging that the cutie mark represented, so they decided to help with that even if the mark itself wasn't possible. When Gabby acted strangely at the end they put two and two together and figured out what she was doing.
I designed mine as a paintbrush painting a shooting star. I mostly draw, not paint, but it's all about appreciating imagination, creation, and fantasy.
wowww, love this!! i feel ur mark, i think mine would be "hugs" since i express my love for others through touch and i use my words very often, but idk how i'd add this to the mark. also im a cat lover hahah, so maybe my cutie mark would be two cats that are cuddling LOL
Congrats Scoot, For you have once again witnessed the debut of yet another fan favorite character! "The Fault in Our Cutie Marks" is another one of my all time favorite CMC episodes! Just as Gabby instantly became another fan favorite character for many myself included, She was both adorable and funny and her personality definitely made her different from all the other Griffons in Griffonstone. It was also very intriguing to see that another creature besides ponies had an interest in cutie marks, Sure Gabby didn't get one in the end but it was awesome that the CMC's made her an honorary Crusader! And "The Purpose In Your Life" instantly became one of my favorite season 6 songs! As for "Viva Las Pegasus" it was certainly interesting to see another episode that introduced a new location in Equestria that up til now was only mentioned and never seen, And the fact that they literally based it off of Las Vegas was awesome! I especially loved all of the references that they made to famous Las Vegas performers like Siegfried and Roy and Elvis Presley, And it was kinda good to see Flim and Flam again. It was also kinda nice to see them working against each other for a change because with their history as con arists it's an improvement. Though I couldn't stand that Glad Mane was turning ponies against each other just so he could eliminate potential competition and gain power and influence over his employee's.
I'm sure somebodies cringe OC is a pony with like a bloody knife cutie mark. Their name has to also be like a reference to a famous serial killer, but as a pony... like, Jack the Galloper or John Wayne Appleseed
Viva Las Pegasus is a fun episode! While AJ and Flutters are there to solve a friendship problem (and much to AJ’s chagrin) between con artists Flim and Flam. That setting is LOADED with Easter eggs and references! Ads featuring Britney Spears, Sir Elton John, ponified versions of Siegfried and Roy, and Scooter of the Muppets cameoing. But then there’s also the broke Sven Gallop at the buffett.
I love film and flam and applejack should definitely restore their sibling relationship but I 100% get it, they literally tried to take over her farm and basically kill granny 😭
@@Random-tn1rvrelationship isn’t an inherently romantic word actually, like you could say “all of the relationships in fluttershy’s life has helped her become more confident!” and have it be accurate, because it’s just the description of how she knows her friends- they have relationships with each other, it is a neutral word.
@@teggyber I'm being flabbergasted again. Yes, I'm aware they didn't mean a romantic relationship. I meant the 'sibling' part. How in the horse apples is this a thing? A sibling relationship? Where did you get the idea they're siblings? Like huh??????
I remember when Fault In Our Cutie Marks came out. That intro rubbed me the wrong way because what she was doing was paleontology not archeology. A paleontologist not archeologist. Still ticks me off.
1:14 lol imagine that in equestria world they had those videos of "how to detect psicopath" etc like, one of the dumb things would be like using clothes where the cutie mark is so u cant see it so u cant like, know if they are killers or something
01:24 - I think there was a Bleeding Heart CM at one point... Was there a dagger? Oh, remember the thugs in Daring Do's adventures? Biff, Baff, & Swearing? XD 01:46 - Yeah.... Making a good CM is the crux to all MLP OC Creators. Some just make random art on their butt, but a good CM requires you to build up an entire backstory and what the OC is good at, and then make it abstract. If you wanna base it on your own personality and talents, then you gotta start asking yourself some deep philosophical questions. ;P 05:10 - I don't know about Zebras having, well... A CM per say... Pony Cutie Marks, as we've seen, are magical. Like FLASH you got branded. We've never actually seen any Zebra discover their talents. No Zecora backstory... outside of the final G4 IDW comic... But it seems more like either their stripes grow into a pattern, or that the pattern is etched/tattooed into their flanks as a ritual. 06:01 - Yeah, they've passed puberty... No more voice cracking... a shame... 10:53 - Oh, now there's a Google adventure. Searching for the origins of sayings: "Racking the brain", "Shake a stick at", "Pulling a leg"... Gabby was something else, I tell ya. But how it was solved was nice. Oh, poor excited Twilight when she finds out... And now... VEGAS!!! With lots and LOTS of Cameos. We got Penn & Teller, Gordon Ramsey, Cirque du Soleil, Criss Angel.... 13:19 - Yes. Elvis Presley Pony. 14:50 - Say hello to Siegfried and Roy, and instead of an albino tiger, they got little prairie dogs. Wouldn't want any nasty accidents to happen in a kids show, now would we? 16:27 - Then again... If they include a waifu booth on the right there, I guess a little mauling is allowed... 22:38 - Took away one corruption... and another took over. Gladmane was hustlin the friendship, these two are gonna hustle other marketing schemes.
Mine cutie mark would probably be a game controller I play games way to much..... I have no life outside the game world except collage..... Kind of sad actually 😢
Already designed mine, sorry for now i won't say trying to keep the og in original. All i can say is i have been attached to symbolism since day one of my life.
AJ and Flutter helping Flim and Flam in Las Vegas is honestly such a funny concept
Yep! Agreed!

Oh wow lol I said the wrong thing too
@@Scootx you’re good man.
Scoot, EVERYONE has an accent.
I love how Flim and Flam teamed up with Flutter and AppleJack
According to the trading cards, show, and comics: Zebras, abadas, and kelpies can also get cutie marks. They just look a little different from ponies.
To that one person in chat who said zebras are horses. They’re actually more closely related to donkeys
I like to think my cutie mark would be a semi open book where you can barely see the writing on the pages.
One of the early MLP conventions was in Las Vegas...and was called Las Pegasus
Rest in peace
Elvis Presley 1935-1977
Roy Horn 1944-2020
Siegfried Fischbacher 1939-2021
Even when a griffin can’t get a cutie mark, you can always lend a helping hoof!🙂
