What makes it even better is how Scootaloo teaches people how to live with their disabilities. You can still do great things even if you can’t do it as well as abled people.

@TheRocketMan  
Precisely. Sometimes the sad fact of life is you’ll be disabled forever, but just look at how much Scootaloo has accomplished despite, or in spite of, her disability.

@Tirimsil  
That’s a good thing because making Scootaloo fly would’ve been a cheap cop out.

Scootaloo was not originally intended to be a lifelong cripple.
 
Just like Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were not able to competently perform earth pony labors or unicorn magic because they were preteen fillies, Scootaloo was not able to fly competently either. The three of them were late-blooming misfits; that’s what brought them together.
 
However, the fans decided to woobie Scootaloo up with some forced drama about what a life-long cripple she is, and Faust quickly caved to it - as did Hasbro, it would seem.

that’s not fair

Those are only given to service members, like Apocalypse Dash.

One simple reason, he is all muscles (YEAH!!). Those wings must be super strong to lift the huge mass of horse they’re attached to, as for scoots, she has no muscles and also her wings didn’t develop at all. On Bulk’s case, one can asume that is not the wings that are small, is the bucking stallion that is effing BIG.

He flies with his pecs. He’s a Muscle Wizard.

she already knows how live with her disability, she lived with it her whole life. The difference is that now she can stop dreaming cuz she knows will never happen

Isn’t this a good thing? Scootaloo learns to live with her disability, which is a good lesson for people with disabilities to take after and it gives them a better sense of appreciation for themselves.

“If pretty little blue birds fly, above the rainbow. Why oh why can’t I?”
 

@succubisamus  
Even more reason to call bullshit on this!

But Bulk can fly.

Well at least you and Bulk Biceps are not alone

My Little Pony - Fly Isn’t Magic

Entriny, I think you’re mistaking a comic where she and Dash go to the doctor and, through panels instead of dialogue, we learn that she will never fly.

@Entrinity  
I don’t recall such a thing.

Wasn’t there a cut episode where we actually see Scootaloo being told her wings won’t develop? I would swear there was an animatic released of it.

@elvis jeger  
But she can walk on clouds.

shes a mudhorse without the super strenght

@Background Pony #8E9E  
And her wings become as huge as TU-95’s

@Chernobog
 
Now I would like to see a fanfic where.
 
Scootaloo steals the final wish by shouting “I wish I had bigger wings”.

@Background Pony #8E9E  
Yes, I agree.
