Wow, this really was a shitshow. Good thing I posted it anonymously.

Pointing out? That implies that those criticisms are objective and not just a product of your viewing experience.

“beam me up scotty” tag?

Wow, those tags. It’s almost as if the OP couldn’t just leave their vitriol and disgust in the actual image and accompanying description and let it spill like an overflowing toilet filled with corn-studded crap into the tags. Certainly a sight to behold.
 
The scariest part is the fact that all of those tags have other meanings besides, “Oh, gosh, I’m really diddly darn mad about this, amigo friend buddy pal chum,” yet they just used them anyway. I have to wonder if they just went through a list of a myriad of ways to say “I don’t like this” on standby and just went through them all to see which tags actually freaking existed just so they don’t look like some pretentious jackwipe by making new tags to fully capture their sheer disgust.
 
Whatever, I’m removing them. OP: you’ll just have to stick with being a crap-spewing duck.

@RainbowDash69
 
I think in this case the problem is how OP expressed his opinion initially. Later he left a comment leaving a more reasonable explanation as to why he dislikes the designs and people were more willing to listen to him then.

though I think the cutie marks are awesome, I must disagree with some people here saying OP is a duck. just because he/she has a negative opinion does not allow for us to be rude in response. the argument is still valid, even though it is unpopular!

 

 
On a side note, The CMC’s Cutie Marks are NOT bad at all. So I say you’re one of the biggest ducks on the internet. Go fly south for the winter, or forever! >:(

@Background Pony #E0B1  

I didn’t really like that episode either OP and everyone always acts like you killed their firstborn child for pointing out the songs are kind of bad, the pacing is REALLY bad, and the new cutie marks look like hot garbage.

@Background Pony #9853  

 
how?

Yeah those cutie marks are fucking awful. For a while after the episode I was thinking “what the fuck have they done?”.

@Scootaloo is best pony  
It’s more about how they designed them. They almost look good, but for one, they’re too small and the color schemes suck.

They already got there Mark yeah some peoplo won’t agree that its a good thing but its done and over with nothing anyone can really do about it, why complain?

@Background Pony #9853
 
The intent of the color scheme is to represent the colors of each member’s mane. And personally, I think this would be fine if it was just the shield that had this color scheme. The problem is that the inner parts are also this color scheme, and that makes it really hard to see the inner parts in distance shots.
 
Personally, I like them overall, but that’s my only real problem with the color scheme. And yeah, they’re definitely way too small.

If we’re gonna start derailing, This is obligatory

FUckin hell,

“NYEEEEEEEEH!!!”  

OP here, I’m stating my opinion on them. Yes, I realize that no matter what they did, someone would be pissed, but look at the fucking colors for one. That’s my least favorite thing about them. The colors on the marks clash hard with their coats and manes. That and they are extremely small. ANd they look tacked on, like they had 5 minutes before rendering began and had to draw something up quick. Overall, i like the Idea of them getting the same mark, but at least make the color schemes of each one match better with their own.
 
Also, the cutie mark’s designs are the only real problem I had with this episode.
 
Another also, Yes I’m a slowpoke. I held off watching the show for 5 years until binging on it earlier in the fall. I regret not watching a single episode up to that point entirely.

The cutie marks that the CMC received are a thing of beauty. The badges with their three mane colors represent the Cutie Mark Crusaders and their lifelong bond. It’s not surprising that the uploader would post this anonymously so they don’t get all kinds of flak.
 
Apple Bloom has a heart within an apple. My headcanon for the time being is that this represents the love she has for her family and how much she likes helping ponies in need. She gets the credit for helping Troubleshoes Clyde figure out what his cutie mark meant. Skip forward to “Crusaders of the Lost Mark” and the same can be said about Diamond Tiara. It was Apple Bloom that suggested that she and her friends should go and check on Diamond Tiara, even after everything she had put them through.

No, Tirek. It’s suppose to be your DOOM. … Starring Applebloom as the Doomguy. * cue classic Doom intro music * xD

What’s wrong with it?
 
An apple with a heart is a perfect cutie mark for Apple Bloom, and the shield to match her friends just makes it even more perfect.
