Anyone else wish Big Mac had ended up with Cheerilee instead?

Wondered the same, quoting WP:

Original words from over there, I swear! :awwthanks:

So basically, a cougar x3

But honestly, no matter who Big M ends up with, people aren't really gonna be happy anyway, that includes me. Not because I hate shipping or anything, I think shipping characters is one of the most fun / laughable things ever in any fandom, but because it reminds me of my own loneliness. Hell, I had to almost turn the Sugar Belle wedding episode off at one point I was so sad / cringing.

I didn't see anything going on with Cheerilee and Big Mac, I mean there were a few little "hints," but I mean it wasn't anything that made me like "yes 100%!" 

Same goes for Marble Pie, even though that one was a little incesty (cough cough). 

So, Sugarbelle and Big Mac is fine, especially because they showed them getting together and then multiple episodes after that as opposed to just "we're together forever."

Maybe, but think about it. Shining Armor and Princess Cadence became a couple in Season 2 as well, and their story was kinda halted and didn't get anywhere interesting.

 

Big Mac and Cheerilee could have been a couple in Season 2, and then we wouldn't have anything interesting happening after for 7 seasons, maybe not even a wedding or a connection to The Perfect Pear.

 

Oh yes, they could have had a baby, that helped Shining Armor and Princess Cadence, not.

Didn't you watch whole season 2 yet? :P

You had me to have to think about that stuff with Marble until I recognized, LOL!

Cousins don't count as incest if they are 3rd grade! :blink:

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. I have seen the whole show.

Not really. Them drifting apart made more sense. They had to have known each other for some time due to her being ABs teacher as well as the both living in the same relatively small town and yet never seemed interested in each other until the love poison situation. After that they explored if it could have had more to it then the potion and whelp it didn't work. IE no spark from the get go it was all potion. 

Finding someone new he had never met before just makes more sense. 


May the Friendship be with you.

Me. Big Mac getting together with Sugar Belle, a mare he had never been seen interacting with before, instead of her after all those teases was a bigger cheat than Crusaders of The Lost Mark.

Actually I am kinda glad that he didn't end up with cheerilee(and especially marble)not that I hated the ship but I didn't care much about it. Sugarmac came out of nowhere but it didn't bother me at all, I guess it could annoy some cheerlieemac shippers(which is understandable), but after an episode like the big mac question I can't not be on board with the ship.

Sorry if I sounded...off and unfriendly, didn't mean to, in case you understood it that way.

It is just that there were more than just hints considering there was a whole episode about them.

Obviously there was a whole episode about them but think about the context of the episode.

I don't prefer a specific character for Big Mac's mare, but while Sugar Belle has very little character, at least Cheerilee has some. Being Big Mac's mare is mostly what defines Sugar Belle. (she bakes, but does it matter if she would make dresses?) I understand why, because being less peculiar and being more generic made the fandom to swallow the canon ship more easily, but it was a coward move and also a boring move. Two distinct and powerful characters being together makes more interesting chemistry and story. Sugar Belle is right next to Luster Dawn of being acceptably generic and generically acceptable.

Yes one of those minor hints I was referring to. Again so minor, I don't care about it.

I think that Cheerilee and Big Mac look cute together, but their interactions (outside the poisoning incident) show nothing more than friendly neighbors.

The main thing that itched me about Cheerilee's status is how that first H&H day episode focused on her singleness and, while being an important pony for three secondary characters, never showed any progress on said matter. My guess is that she's simply a character without the writers/editors attention. She served her purpose on early episodes, then got shoved aside.

At the end, Sugar Belle was definitely the best option for Big Mac, their S8 and S9 episodes prove it.

If you mean by being love poisoned, yes.:bedeyes:

Honestly, that surely raised expectations in the fandom and kingdom. I gave up when SugarBalle appeared though. Same with Pinkie's Sister. Looks like the fandom got the hots for shipping the Big M.

Though, let's just assume he is poly and in relationship with 3 mares at the time. Surely sounds stressful.

Yeah, I like to think he's in a relationship with Marble, Sugar Belle, and Cheerilee.

Well, the show seems to focus on monogamous relationships, but I think if Marble, SB and Cheerilee formed Big Mac's herd, Cheerilee would be alpha female :)
