Nexev Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Look, see you seem to get annoyed because they are overtly obsessed with getting their cutie mark and thus do stupid s***. The problem is, that is actually the entire point of the characters, they are obsessing over trying to get what they want that they aren't properly being who they really are which is what is keeping them from achieving their dreams. They are little kids with no understanding of who they are and view cutie marks as some object to lust over rather then simply the realization of who they always were. That's why non of them tried to use buddism inner reflection or anything. They are like what? 10? They do stupid s*** because really that's the age where you can string just about two thoughts together and thats it. They have never been rolemodels or anything like that, how could they when they never actually get what they want? If the kids were calm or rational or anything like that they would no longer be the crusaders. It's their defining trait, the obsession is what keeps them from being background characters.

It just gave me an excuse to write a wall-o-text that outlines the various, deliberate, problems with them. But yea, I can easily get over all the crazy antics they do. .....I just don't want the CMCs to save the day in Return of Harmony Pt2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celestia "organized" a field trip with the teacher, to have the students wander through the "statue" collection, and potentially cause at least one of them to awaken. The CMCs just-so-happen to have been the ideal bait to awaken the strongest one there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birkeland Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I figured that FiM was creating so much awesome that the refuse started to become a problem. Instead of trying to hide in the main characters or the plot, they mashed it together, divided it, threw paint on it, then called it the CMC. Any major fail the show might generate is instead tossed onto the trio, who try to mask it by using their cuteness factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
