Talk:On Your Marks/@comment-26423071-20160315174604

This episode shows why giving them their Cutie Marks in the first place was a mistake.

They are the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Their entire identity, and the appeal to them, is their quest to get their Cutie Marks.

Other shows are wiser about this kind of stuff.

The Brain never takes over the world.

Samurai Jack never returns to the past.

Wile E. Coyote never catches the Road Runner.

Koshian never reclaims the Tariki Hongan Temple.

Finn never finds a way to turn the Ice King back into Simon Petrikov.

But this show didn't learn from those shows. They gave the Crusaders their Cutie Marks, anbd they made it permanent. They ruined the storytelling potential the Crusaders have.
