Talk:The Fault in Our Cutie Marks/@comment-4531340-20160803000017

Y'know, I'm gonna make a bit of a longshot prediction here - this episode also has something to do with Scootaloo's flying. I mean, I don't think anyone really thought Crusaders of the Lost Mark was going to have anything to do with the CMC's cutie marks (and their obtainment of them), especially once we got the summaries (and all that was mentioned was the CMC helping Pip win his campaign along with Diamond Tiara receiving help from an unexpected source), plus there's the fact that they're helping out a griffon (a being with wings).

I can see four ways in which that would play out - the first of which is that CMC are able to do the seemingly impossible task of getting Gabby (if that really is the griffon's name) a cutie mark, and in turn, she's able to break through with Scootaloo, who finally flies without help. The second is that both are discovered to be impossible (and frankly, FiM doesn't seem like the kind of show to go there, so I genuinely doubt this one). The third would be that, actually, it's mostly Scootaloo trying to help Gabby get a cutie mark (since Gabby has taught her to fly), and she keeps pressing forward even after the other two give up because of her guilt of not being able to give Gabby something she wants very much. The fourth (and most likely scenario) is that a compromise is reached, and the questions aren't exactly answered - the CMC show Gabby what she's good at (but it's left up in the air whether she'll be able to learn a cutie mark), and Scootaloo is given a cloud aid by Gabby (see my idea here), so the question of whether or not she'll be able to fly is left unresolved.

Of course, I still think the most likely option is "none of the above" and that it'll just be the CMC trying to help a griffon get a cutie mark.
