What happens to the CMC after they get their cutie marks?

[Silly Lily 80]

I personally love the CMC. I relate to how they don't really know what they are good at but are willing to try many different things. In a schadenfreude-kinda way, I enjoy watching them fail, and, in a inspirational-kinda way, I like how it doesn't hurt their spirits. They always get up and try again.

 

But, then what happens when they get their cutie marks?... Then what?

What will they do once they know what they're good at? Will they have the same appeal?

 

Maybe it's a parental thing where I don't really want to see them "grow up". I want them to be blank flank fillies for as long as they can.

 

 

Or is it just a trio of one trick ponies?

Hmmmm...good question. It would be impractical for the little rascals to get their cutiemarks, ever, because then their exploits would come to an end. If they were to earn them, however, i believe they would become best friends, inseparable by time and space. Perhaps they would become crusaders of a different kind, helping others with their talents, even if they are not called for? I would find that amusing.

I could see them finding their cutie marks in the final episode, but not before then. I don't see any changes that major happening while the show is still ongoing. Even after the final moment, though, I'd think the trio would remain united in spite of a lack of a common goal simply since they've been close for so long.

I am the same way about Pound and Pumpkin. I don't want to see them grow up.

 

As for the CMC, I don't think they well get their cutie marks at the end of the season. I see 1 of them getting their and that one well become more distant from the group, because they are with other ponies that have skills that are like theirs.

 

Or they well get their cutie marks at the same time and they well still become distant from each other because of other groups.

 

That is just what I think.

Well That would be fantastic to see their Cutie Mark. I would love to see how Sweetie Bell's would since she's my favorite. Overall if they did get their cutie mark how will they keep going from there upon saying are they still the cutie mark Crusader? Till then we will have to find out in the new season!!!

[Nas 2,873]

They way they run the show, I'd say they would never have them earn their cutie marks. Why? Because them trying to earn them is what makes them the important part of the cast that they are.

 

I think they will continue to strive for their marks for a long time.

[Perhaps~ 21]

They would split up, and reflect on how many Ponies lives they ruined and how many fans they annoyed...

[I Have Left MLP Forums 100]

Cutie Mark Collectors!

Yay!

 

(Brace yourselves, here comes the gorefics.

 

...talking about that, er.. I'll be right back.)

They'll still be crusaders but for a different cause.I can see them worrying about how to be the best at their natural talents rather than actually finding them

sweetie bell gets a microphone, scootaloo a scooter, and applebloom im not sure but something to do with fixing and making stuff a hammer maybe? After that MLP:FIM ends. That will be the finale mark my words... Mark em!

[Tsunderita 2]

I can see them staying as Cutie Mark Crusaders and helping other fillies find what they do best. Like making the little club into a legitimate help service or something. I cna't word it right. I hope it's getting across. ^^;

When they get their CC they'll obviously be dropped from the show and never return.

Nah if anything they'll just give them another "advetnure" to do during their episodes.

[agigantorllama 258]

I'm pretty sure they don't know about their special talents already, so when they'd get them, they'd be surprised!

[Twi Rubix 726]

Well, it can go 2 ways:

 

If they all get their cutie marks together, I imagine they would still be together, but will sometimes be alone with whatever talent they got. Most people associate Sweetie Belle with singing, so she may have performances at times. They will still be close friends though.

 

If they seperatley got their cutie marks within a big time span, I think one would be jealous of the other for getting theirs early, and may have some fighting here and there, but will accept the fact they need to keep waiting.

[BaBaBrony 111]

I think one of them getting their cutie mark could make for a good episode. Does she remain a crusader? Obviously she would, but she'd need 22-24 minutes to realize it.

[spaghettinoodles 298]

I sort of agree with the person who said they'll get their cutie marks in the final episode, but I think they'll get theirs a few episodes before the final one. Or they'll get their cutie marks near the end of a random season, and then there will be a new group of ponies that have their own episodes. Maybe not a CMC-type thing, but just more episodes focusing on other ponies. /Maybe/ background characters.

[Yorobia 15]

I'm guessing the CMC will not get their cutie marks until the second last episode, as a finish to the generation. I'm not saying the last episode, because the last episode will be the finale, and the finale will most likely contain some type of villain, or maybe all the villains combined.

[NavelColt 22,880]

Realistically, they probably never will. So this is very much a hypothetical question in some ways, because, not being the main characters that drive the plot, and being largely secondary characters who offer entertaining filler with a never-ending quest, the CMC probably won't ever earn their marks.

 

However, I go with what a lot of the fanbase thinks. They start a group that is dedicated to fillies and foals crusading for their cutie marks, and they lead it.

[Leeroy Wingkins 27]

I've thought what if, in the last episode of FIM they get their marks. Then they (maybe) get their OWN show! And it would be like FIM is now, as in random shenanigans that they must solve! I think this would be awesome!
