The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

@Pwny
I know a lot of people are going they’re crap, but really, given what we have:
  • The mark keeps the shield shape from their CMC capes; it brings, roughly, their individual color schemes. That means the three of them are destined to be long-time friends
  • Yet, their individual marks still hit at their individual talents: apple farming/growing, singing, and whatever Scoots does ( :) ).
And they allude to the fact that, before they got their marks, they decided they would just decide to help others help get their marks and not worry about themselves.
They’ve set up for all purposes that even with cutie marks, the CMC have a purpose that is beyond themselves, they work together with good intentions to help others get their marks.
 
Oh, totally. The concept is great and pretty well thought-out. I was just referring to the fact that I really dislike the design as such. Too many colors, shapes and patterns clashing horribly, I feel, especially when compared to the simple elegance of the Mane 6 or the princesses. ‘Overdesigned’ is the first term that comes to mind. It doesn’t really help that it goes with neither one’s coat.  
But, overall, I am mostly glad that the three have found their talents and marks while still having a reason for CMC-centric episodes, which (alongside Rarity episodes) have a certain tendency to being excellent.

Even so they only need to realize there main talent/purpose to get the cutie mark, any more comes from exploring what they can do when focusing on that.  
Otherwise I’m sure the mane 6 wouldn’t still be learning how to use their talents to help others and have their cutie marks, they would already know or not have their marks.

Judging by Twilight’s words in EG there is gonna be some sort of time loop, not constant change…

I think it took talking it out and thinking about it beyond my initial knee-jerk reaction. Their cutie marks came because they found their place in the world, a journey they were on together and thus why they all have the same shield, however they still have things to discover about themselves and what their cutie marks represent. There is still room for them to pursue and identify their individual talents, while taking on their new quest to help others discover their cutie marks and their true meaning.

Altering the past doesn’t make it non-canon, it just changes the timeline.

“but we have never, not once, been shown them realize these talents on their own”  
You get that the cutie mark designs are two fold but not that they have realize their talents, not every detail of it, for them to finally get the cutie mark…  
If it was a pony had to know every detail then a number of pony would still be without their cutie mark.  
They realized there main talent so they got their cutie marks, it doesn’t matter if they realized ever detail.

It is understandable that the design is meant to be two fold, with the shield representing what they have gone through together as the CMC and how is not part of their identity while the inner marks represent their individual talents and abilities we have seen displayed throughout the series. However, there is one big glaring flaw with all of this, that being we never actually saw them make any realization of their individual talents. Sure the audience has known what they are since Show Stoppers and was even hinted that in Bloom & Gloom that the girls even have pursuits in-lined with their talents, but we have never, not once, been shown them realize these talents on their own, so to see them represented on the cutie marks is a little annoying.
 
Though, maybe this is where Appleoosa’s Most Wanted comes into play other than foreshadowing the events of this episode. That even though their cutie marks represent who they really are, they have yet to fully discover that and the meaning behind the cutie marks themselves.

I think from now on we should be wary of musical episodes. Twilight’s Ascension and now this. Heavy stuff goes down when there’s music in town.

Exactly, what they have been doing this whole time is to help others discover themselves. The CMC’s believed so much about what a cutiemark was and how important it is to remember what it represents about yourself that they went out of their way to help others see it too.
 
They were NEVER going to find their own cutiemarks like building stuff or riding on a scooter. What meant more to them was helping others with THEIR cutiemarks.All in all, i think its beautifully done once you wrap your head around why their cutiemarks are like this.
 
Its their crest, their calling yeah they still have their own special talents but moreso they are the cutie mark crusaders. Thats good writing it ALL makes sense now and i feel so stupid for not thinking about the CMC name instead of their talents.

It’s “Magical Mystery Cure” all over again. But this one won’t cause a divide in the fandom like with Twilicorn. I’m happy for them.

Okay I like what happens I don’t like the design of their marks which is fine because I get them except Appleblooms, I honestly thought she’d get one for building or designing because that’s what she has been seen to be really good at but an apple with a heart in it…?
