WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:05.049 --> 00:00:08.399 Welcome to the episode when we start the CMC daddy daycare thing 00:00:08.650 --> 00:00:09.150 Okay then 00:00:09.150 --> 00:00:15.750 This episode brings up an important point of like how cutie marks work and as much as we're tired of talking about that? 00:00:15.750 --> 00:00:18.840 I think it's really important to bring up how exactly you can fit your 00:00:18.910 --> 00:00:24.660 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 00:00:24.660 --> 00:00:30.179 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? 00:00:31.420 --> 00:00:36.869 This episode does a good job exploring that a little bit, but not enough to personally fit my tastes 00:00:36.870 --> 00:00:42.899 But we're gonna talk about it as I talk about the episode and hopefully you understand my point of view relatively soon 00:00:42.899 --> 00:00:48.869 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 00:00:48.870 --> 00:00:53.640 First attempt to get her cutie mark. "I call it bold and brash" " More like 00:00:54.219 --> 00:00:56.219 belongs in the trash! Ha ha!" 00:00:56.860 --> 00:01:03.749 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 00:01:03.750 --> 00:01:05.750 Yet, or what? "Business, business business 00:01:06.340 --> 00:01:08.340 Numbers." [whispered] "Is this working?" 00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:09.460 Yes 00:01:09.460 --> 00:01:13.160 We find out that the CMC have chosen camp friendship because that one episode 00:01:13.300 --> 00:01:18.000 Had it. I guess how did these three take over our whole summer camp who's in charge of this thing? 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:22.200 I can't believe we got a cutie mark on the first day! 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:24.760 Stop right there criminal scum here 00:01:24.780 --> 00:01:31.020 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 00:01:31.020 --> 00:01:33.180 I want you to draw me like one of your french girls 00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:37.229 Rumble is really against being labeled, and I was kind of waiting until this got adressed 00:01:37.229 --> 00:01:43.048 I mean in the real world people aren't necessarily assigned to a job for their whole lives and does their cutie mark change 00:01:43.270 --> 00:01:49.110 Like it just seems in this society ponies have a much more linear role additionally what happens if you don't like your talent 00:01:49.110 --> 00:01:51.100 Are you just SOL? 00:01:51.220 --> 00:01:55.680 I've decided I'm not gonna be a tinker fairy anymore, I mean what's to say it wasn't some big mistake 00:01:55.900 --> 00:01:57.960 Maybe I could just switch my talent 00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:03.420 Meanwhile Rumble is trying to keep this motion up after talking to Thunder Lane. Is that his name, sorry 00:02:03.420 --> 00:02:08.640 I can't Wonderbolt and tries to convince members of the club to leave citing cutie marks are stupid and they define you 00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:10.340 but more on that later 00:02:10.440 --> 00:02:13.200 Everypony wants to know what they're meant to do! 00:02:13.320 --> 00:02:17.460 Hmph! Cutie marks are silly and they just force you into one thing your whole life! 00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:18.500 Witch! 00:02:18.500 --> 00:02:21.140 Arin! You gotta draw the line somewhere! 00:02:21.180 --> 00:02:23.420 Arin! you gotta draw the fucking line in the sand, dude! 00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:26.680 And they sure seem to be having exciting time doing nothing 00:02:26.710 --> 00:02:32.309 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 00:02:32.310 --> 00:02:37.050 Back their campers by enticing them with things they like to do what makes Rumble change his mind is bribing him 00:02:37.210 --> 00:02:39.329 Don't look at me like that. That's what it is 00:02:39.330 --> 00:02:46.169 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 00:02:46.600 --> 00:02:51.869 Anyone can cook and I guess the camp after that is still open. I'm still not clear 00:02:51.870 --> 00:02:58.050 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 00:02:58.060 --> 00:03:03.960 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 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:05.940 All your life, what if you don't like your cutie mark? 00:03:05.940 --> 00:03:08.490 Or don't know what it means. What then? Well, 00:03:08.490 --> 00:03:14.159 I applaud this episode for finally addressing some of those issues about the whole concept cutie marks , but at the same time 00:03:14.160 --> 00:03:20.309 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 00:03:20.310 --> 00:03:21.720 Was only running from his own truth? 00:03:21.720 --> 00:03:27.809 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 00:03:27.970 --> 00:03:32.010 But instead of really exploring it. They just kind of write it off as a character flaw of Rumbles 00:03:32.010 --> 00:03:35.969 I really like this premise, but I think it's a shame that we don't really explore it more in a pure way 00:03:36.010 --> 00:03:41.879 What happened to the pony instead of having an alternate motive just thinks cutie marks are stupid. Maybe even an adult blank flank 00:03:41.880 --> 00:03:46.469 I'd like to see more stories that explore concepts like this who knows I think we can get some meaningful 00:03:46.540 --> 00:03:52.079 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 00:03:53.830 --> 00:03:57.149 That's all folks except its that time for the ending gag! 00:04:01.810 --> 00:04:03.959 No way he's as good as his brother 00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:07.540 oof! 00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:15.180 Ow! 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:16.900 whoops 00:04:16.900 --> 00:04:35.800 [Ending theme music]
