Disagree! For Cadance to be a Mary Sue, she'd have to have saved the day and been the best at everything. Instead she got captured, couldn't escape by herself, couldn't free a mine cart from a couple of rocks, couldn't do jack squat to oppose or even threaten Chrysalis when she confronted her, and couldn't banish the Changelings. She could only assist with driving out the Changelings by helping Shining Armor power up to Super Saiyan 5. She almost borders on Moe instead of Mary Sue, though her quick thinking and protective (if powerless) attitude lifts her ever so slightly above Moe. I'm not bothered that she was (temporarily) a damsel in distress. The show is about the Mane6 (plus occasionally Spike or CMC), and only peripherally about Celestia, Luna, Derpy, and the rest of the supporting cast, Cadance included. I'd personally watch any spinoff they made ("Celestia and Luna Power Hour", "Derp & Dink", etc.), but for now I'd rather they spent those precious 22 minutes per week in further developing the Mane6.
