Rhythm Red

Just finished Crusaders of the Lost Mark. Here's my opinion:

The episode itself was awesome. I like musical episodes, and BOY, the music was good. Diamond Tiara's redemption was handled perfectly, and it really does a good job of showing that many bullies either have been bullied at some point, or have difficult lives at home.

The CMC finally got their cutie marks (yay!), which brings me to what I didn't really like about the episode: the marks themselves, and how they got them.

I like how the marks show the connection between the three, but to be honest, that kinda takes away some of their individuality. They automatically become a unit, which makes it seem like their destinies are to be together. They can't pursue their individual talents. Plus I personally think the marks could look better. The actual icons on the shields look kinda small.

Personally, I would have preferred each of the three to do what they're good at (Scootaloo doing an insane scooter course and sweetie belle singing live, for example), and at the same time they all do something spectacular and BAM! Three individual and unique cutie marks! At the same time!

But eh, other than that tiny little thing, GREAT episode. I'm sure the cutie mark thing won't matter to me very much in the long run, anyway.

(I should make a blog for this or something. Lol.)
