Why do you dumbasses believe Scootaloo is fucking crippled? She just hasn't learned to fly yet. I'm sure if she was crippled, Twilight or Rairty or Zecora would do a spell to heal her or help her. She's not going to be riding scooters all her life. She's going to fly. Maybe next season.
>>25659119
I really hope you're right. Thing is, she probably IS, but the spell thing would be a great idea.
>>25659119
It's neither, really. She just hasn't developed enough muscle mass in her wings to actually be able to carry herself yet.
>>25659119
Well, she better get with the program. Every pegasus foal in Ponyville that's her age (and some younger) are flying already.
>>25659119
Isnt one of the cakes babies flying already?
Or that was a comics thing?
>>25659119
She may not be crippled, but she may have permanent vestigial wings. Since you know, a fucking TODDLER can fly.
Think of it like her having dwarf arms.
>>25659119
Magic apparently can't cure cripples, =.
>>25659150
Maybe. I remember when Fluttershy was a filly in Cloudsdale, she was falling to her death and barely rescued by butterflies because she wasn't able to fly.
>>25659184
Bullshit. You mean magic can turn birds into oranges and teleport ponies and all sorts of shit but can't fix a broken bone?
>>25659201
>broken bone
You mean severed spinal cord. Still, it should be fixable via magic.
>>25659201
Yes
>>25659201
>>25659239
Apparently not.
Realistically speaking (at least as you can when fucking magic is involved), fixing limbs and other tissue with magic would seem to be a very invasive procedure, which is why many would opt for simply resting recovery.
Then again, I dont think the same could be said with the handicapped tho.
>>25659119
I want to fuck scootaloo's tight ass hole
>>25659165
Nope, it was in the baby cakes episode.
OP is just a fucking deluded faggot.
>>25659184
What the fuck is that hair?
What episode is this from?
And she'll fly, and she'll fly to the ends of the sky
>>25659446
Trade Ya
>>25659417
I can dream. Hopefully the writers don't give a shit and make her fly.
>>25659467
While you can ignore my comment, some supposedly crippled anon said how he was glad they didn't make her fly just "for trying too much". So if they make her fly, is like spiting in the face of the crippled people.
Have fun with that.
>>25659500
>they didn't make her fly just "for trying too much"
What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Let her fly with some magic healing spell, not for "trying too much".
Have they ever even used curative magic in the show. I can think of plenty of times characters have gotten sick or hurt, but I can't ever recall anyone just curing someone with magic.
>>25659119
I think I actually prefer her unable to fly. The strength of this show is in the characters and their diversity. It gives everyone someone to sympathize with.
It also helps teach kids not to get hung up on racially based expectations. Sandy Koufax was an athlete, Niel Degrasse Tyson is a scientist, and racial stereotypes can go fuck themselves.
Keep scootering, orange filly.
>>25659119
>She got her Cutie Mark in walking
>>25659535
Like in some cartoons that the moral is "you can do it if you try hard enough", which we all know is impossible irl for real cripples.
>>25659563
then make her fly some other way.
>>25659467
She flew alrightin her dreams.
>>25659569
Logically, there are plenty of ways for her to fly. Tank has a magic propellor strapped to his back, Pinkie made a gyrocopter, and we see a hot air balloon every time the title sequence plays.
The fact that Scootaloo has not chosen to pursue any of these alternative avenues is telling of her character, and I commend her for it.
>>25659607
I could not agree with you more. She doesn't want to take any shortcuts. That said, if she were offered a way to fly naturally, she would accept it in a heartbeat.
>>25659467
Why would you want that if this could be a great message? Just because she's a cripple shouldn't make her any worse. And seeing her learn to live with that disability might be a good message.
I know you spergs want her to fly because you don't want your waifu to be a cripple and you want to fly around with her in your dreams. But give that dream up for the show. Please, give up for the sake of a good episode.
>>25659631
Agreed. I think she really took Dash's advice from FTTF to heart. If she flies someday, then that would be awesome, and if she doesn't, then she'll find some way to be awesome anyway. Either way, it doesn't have to define her as a person.
>>25659642
She's not any worse for being a cripple and she's already learned to live with it. But I don't want her to be barred from her dreams so cruelly as she currently is. You're right that I don't want my waifu to be a cripple, but can you really blame me? SHE doesn't want to be and the writers have it in their power to fix her without it looking like a deus ex machina.
>>25659671
Just because she wants it doesn't mean the story would benefit from this. Having someone who can not follow her dream and still become happy is a stronger message than having someone that just tried hard enough. Trying hard enough has been done many time and I vote for the crippled pony that couldn't follow her dream at least the way she always thought she wouldBut I absolutely understand your wish for a non-retarded waifu.
Would it be over the top to have an episode where she accepts that she can't fly and gets prosthetic wing extenders or something like that? Is that realistic, or would be kind of shitty?
>>25659705
>Having someone who can not follow her dream and still become happy is a stronger message than having someone that just tried hard enough. Trying hard enough has been done many time
True. I just don't want it to be Scoot. I find it hard to believe that she'll ever be completely happy without flightkind of like how I'll never know true happiness without her
>>25659187
But wasn't that a confidence thing, I mean Scoot is confident. The real truth is that Scoot's dad was aChicken
>>25659366
>Green Purple
Anon...
>>25659767
Surely she is the kind of pony that will have a hard time becoming absolutely happy and maybe she never will but that is the point. Not everybodymost peoplecan become completely happy.
>>25659810
Why can't it be somebody else's waifu? Why does my beautiful Scootaloo have to suffer? I want her to be happy
>>25659187
>rescued by butterflies
Man, just imagine how light pegasi must be.
>>25659832
Or how strong butterflies are in Equestria
>ultra high oxygen atmosphere confirmed
>>25659832
A two foot filly Pegasus with sticks for legs.
>>25659831
Well because Scootaloo has already been marked as a retard and is a character that is well known by now. She would be perfect for this because people will care for her more than for a tinee tiny sidecharacter.
>>25660086
She's not a retard, just physically handicapped
>>25660105
which means she's retarded
>>25660116
I guess Steven Hawking is retarded then
>>25660105
You know what I was talking about...
>>25660128
physically, yes
>>25660128
The noun retard as it is is not just used for mentally ill people anymore.
>>25660138
>>25660140
Retard implies mental retardation
>>25660160
Well I know that you shouldn't use it for physically challenged one but people simpl do that...
>>25660160
it can also mean physical retardation
look it up in a dictionary
Scootaloo flys a lot in the show. If you actually watch the show you would know. She just falls right back down though. Fuck all of these sick fucks who want her to be crippled.
A Pegasus that cant fly? Man you guys are evil
>>25659119
DYEWTS?
They pretty much confirmed it in S4
>>25659366
Gracias, doctor.
>>25660160
In common usage, yes. But the word "retarded" by definition is closer to "stunted".
As such the Mentally retarded are mentally stunted, or the physically retarded might have stunted growth.
>>25659809
AHHHHGH YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS
EVERY SPLIFF I ROLL, I ROLL IT BIG
>>25659119
Crippled.
Rainbow Dash was the youngest in her class to get her cutie mark (Call of the Cutie) and was a good enough flier to pull off a Rainboom.
At least two years pass from that episode (where the CMC are the last 3 in their class without their Cutie Marks) from the episode when they got theirs, so it's easy to figure that Scoots is probably 2-3 years older than Dash was during her race scene and yet to pull off anything close to that level of flight.
