I’m kind of going out of order with these characters. I’ll get to the Mane 6 whenever.
I put Scoots with crutches as a nod to her having difficulty learning to fly. So, like, the human version of mobility issues, I guess? I also wanted to make it a little ambiguous as to whether she’ll ever get to a point where she won’t need them anymore. I imagine this version of Scoots is undergoing physiotherapy after an accident (with Rainbow Dash supporting her, of course). Maybe pony-Scootaloo will one day fly. and maybe this Scootaloo will one day walk without aid. Who knows?
(By the way, I REALLY want a Scootaloo episode that either ends with her making progress with flying and showing she was just a late-bloomer, or having her come to terms with the fact that she’ll never get off the ground.)

Agree

Sesame street talked about death. that’s it i got nothing else
It’s great she has her cutie mark now, but with no known relatives, it just makes the inability to fly all that more insulting to her and to the audience.
I hope so.
His human?
Handicapped Scootaloo shouldn’t be a downer. She should be inspiring. Nearly as awesome as Rainbow Dash, without even being able to fly. And not being able to fly doesn’t stop her from doing anything but fly. Inspiring.
Didn’t we get that episode already?
@Craig A
I thought the plan was always only to have her be unable to fly. I can’t find the quote from Faust about it though.
Its why it was never agreed because of that very reason.
Look at the hassle that derpy episode caused and that was just a voice and a squint eye
Well, I can understand how sad that would be for an upbeat kids show.
Yep, I read it some time ago from lauren faust, Scoots was ment to have an issue walking or some birth defect apparently.
What? They were going originally make her crippled? Or some wing related pun for paraplegic?
