Still don't see it, sorry. Even with the simularities I find them to be much better written characters than the PPGs ever were. No offense to fans of the PPG, I somewhat liked them at first, but they were very flawed as far as writing went, in my opinion. I do see some simularites which you mentioned, but there's loads of things out there that features a team of three girls, I don't remember Miss Keane enough to argue on whether Cheerilee is like her or not, but neither character has had much development one way or annother so far. The love story (one guardian and a teacher, a simularity I admit, but again been used countless times before PPG) was done using a potion rather than just simply throwing the two infront of each other. I am somewhat willing to accept the tiny possiblity that maybe Lauren gave Apple Bloom a bow as a kind of tribute to Craig, but it is doubful considering, that when she was originally designed the other two didn't exist, and it was just going to be Apple Bloom solo, nopony else. I may be slightly biased though as I felt the writing in PPG was below par at times, especially when compared to FIM, and no I'm not saying FIM is perfect, but it has less flaws than PPG.

If the CMC are copies of anyone, they are copies of aspects of the Mane Six; even number of each pony, younger versions of three of the mane six with their own personality thrown in (makes sense, two of them are related to two of the Mane Six, and one of them respects one of the Mane Six) same blatent naivety to what their cutie marks are, even though it's right in front of them (same thing happened to the Mane Six). However, the CMC are for the most part their own characters

Hope you don't mind this comment, I'm always willing to hear theories on things, but I'm afraid I strongly dissagree on it, no offense.
