Welcome to the episode when we start the CMC daddy daycare thing
Okay then
This episode brings up an important point of like how cutie marks work and as much as we're tired of talking about that?
I think it's really important to bring up how exactly you can fit your
destiny to your cutie mark and what control over it you can have and from what the show has taught us before you don't have
Too much control of it, but you still have enough and you probably know what you like at this point and you can probably lean towards that. I guess?
This episode does a good job exploring that a little bit, but not enough to personally fit my tastes
But we're gonna talk about it as I talk about the episode and hopefully you understand my point of view relatively soon
But anyway we start off as I guess the CMC got their cutie marks and business as they are coaching a hopeful artist in her
First attempt to get her cutie mark. "I call it bold and brash" " More like
belongs in the trash! Ha ha!"
The CMC then get the idea to mainstream their successful business by making it more marketable and more accessible and is this business talk getting old
Yet, or what? "Business, business business
Numbers." [whispered] "Is this working?"
Yes
We find out that the CMC have chosen camp friendship because that one episode
Had it. I guess how did these three take over our whole summer camp who's in charge of this thing?
I can't believe we got a cutie mark on the first day!
Stop right there criminal scum here
Here we find Rumble who's pissed because he has to live in the shadow of his brother and doesn't really want to go to cutie mark camp or get his cutie mark
I want you to draw me like one of your french girls
Rumble is really against being labeled, and I was kind of waiting until this got adressed
I mean in the real world people aren't necessarily assigned to a job for their whole lives and does their cutie mark change
Like it just seems in this society ponies have a much more linear role additionally what happens if you don't like your talent
Are you just SOL?
I've decided I'm not gonna be a tinker fairy anymore, I mean what's to say it wasn't some big mistake
Maybe I could just switch my talent
Meanwhile Rumble is trying to keep this motion up after talking to Thunder Lane. Is that his name, sorry
I can't Wonderbolt and tries to convince members of the club to leave citing cutie marks are stupid and they define you
but more on that later
Everypony wants to know what they're meant to do!
Hmph! Cutie marks are silly and they just force you into one thing your whole life!
Witch!
Arin! You gotta draw the line somewhere!
Arin! you gotta draw the fucking line in the sand, dude!
And they sure seem to be having exciting time doing nothing
I don't even know why they even bother to show up to camp that day one by one though the CMC are able to bring
Back their campers by enticing them with things they like to do what makes Rumble change his mind is bribing him
Don't look at me like that. That's what it is
They also bring his brother along to have him cooking to show that even if you're destined to do anything that you can still cook
Anyone can cook and I guess the camp after that is still open. I'm still not clear
If these kids are charging or like what is happening how can they afford all this stuff if they aren't like my brain hurts
So this is one of the common complaints with the Cutie Mark ID in general like one image on your butt that defines you for
All your life, what if you don't like your cutie mark?
Or don't know what it means. What then? Well,
I applaud this episode for finally addressing some of those issues about the whole concept cutie marks , but at the same time
It doesn't really address those problems because in the end as much as Rumble wanted to make his anti cutie mark camp a success he
Was only running from his own truth?
Which is getting in cutie mark in something that is flying or wonderful eccentric so it's like this episode had this really great idea
But instead of really exploring it. They just kind of write it off as a character flaw of Rumbles
I really like this premise, but I think it's a shame that we don't really explore it more in a pure way
What happened to the pony instead of having an alternate motive just thinks cutie marks are stupid. Maybe even an adult blank flank
I'd like to see more stories that explore concepts like this who knows I think we can get some meaningful
Commentary out of this subject matter. I don't know comment below and yell at me what you think and subscribe if you want to
That's all folks except its that time for the ending gag!
No way he's as good as his brother
oof!
Ow!
whoops
