Also, did anyone realize that magic just strengthens your physical differences. Like how, compared to real ponies, Pegasi have wings, so the magic helps them fly. It also can strengthen talents, like cutie marks, or turn someone with strong leadership, into an Alicorn. Friendship is Magic, means friendship can strengthen differences. When different talents are brought together, they are stronger. That’s why Friendship is Magic and why magic wouldn’t be possible without friendship. Wow, I totally just figured out the whole rest of the show. Nothing is a surprise now, noice. XD


I love how mysterious and deep everything got in the middle of the video-


I think something else could be at play here, and it's that not all magic is made equal.
Remember what Twilight said in Boast Busters? Unicorns' magic is attuned to their cutie mark, and that impacts what kind of magic they can do, and part of why Twilight is so good at magic is because her cutie mark is in magic, but notably, all unicorns can use their magic to levitate objects, even magically-handicapped ones like Sunburst.
The same can go for the ambiguously explained earth pony magic- a "connection to the earth" can mean countless things, like Pies' "Pinkie Sense" and the apples' apparent "green thumb", for lack of better words. Although they all seem to have that kind of super-strength, at least to a degree...
I think that in a similar sense, pegasus magic can probably come in different ways for different pegasi, too, while maintaining the general ability to walk on clouds. Examples could be Rainbow's affinity for Sonic Rainbooms, Vapor Trail's ability to cast wind while maintaining flight, and, yes, Scootaloo using her wings not to fly, but as a "motor" for her scooter.

Makes you wonder, maybe the way Cadence got her cutie mark and became an alicorn was by casting a spell through her wings... Which would've probably been revolutionary, I think.


I think that her 'astral magic' was split between her mom and dad. So she got the physical wings, but the astral hoof stregnth of her dad. So if the magic is hoof centered, it allows for cloud standing but also grants speedy movement on her scooter.


Interesting video idea: so in the g5 mlp movie, they mention that twilight and her friends lived in ancient equestria, so obviously they're all dead. (Including twilight, i think she would've chosen to join her friends in the afterlife) but discord is immortal, so he is likely still existing in modern equestria. I'm curious of what he might be doing now, like, is he just chilling in hsi dimension? Is he in the regular world? Is he still grieving fluttershy?


I mean it's kind of obvious that for a pegasus to fly it needs magic, it's also shown in "My little Pony: New Generation". So technically Scootaloo WAS supposed to be able to fly, but I think its something else rather than her "Astro wings" being the problem. Although I do think Sunny has something to do with it, but I still think its because her wings are extremely small compared to other pegasus. That makes her disability being not able to fly, but she is still a pegasus. Very proud of Scootaloo tho despite the fact she can't fly like her friends, she still lives happily.


Ok but, I watched the last season of mlp and when grogars bell was used on luna and celestia they could still fly despite their magic being taken. What do you think about that?


Finally someone who brings up that we don't know what Cozy worked into the magic circle. So many people think she's an idiot/it's a plothole that she drained Celestia and Luna's magic because that would stop the sun and moon, but they were <b>literally still moving</b> in the episode

I just had a thought.
What if the villain statue is still in equestria in the new MLP gen? You know, because of how it takes place after twilight’s reign?
The villains could come back. Just saying, that’d be awesome.


the fact that MLP G4 ended but left so many things behind, so many questionable things that no one ever talked about. it feels like it never ended


Honestly scoot all was always my favorite. Same with rainbowdash. For more personal reasons lol. Scootaloo, although not being able to fly never had it get too much in the way. I don’t have any major physical disabilities but I have a hard time standing up and maintaining my balance (couple cool inverted bones for ya)
When I was younger I never really cared. I’d fall, then just get back up and continue playing. As I’ve grown up, and stopped having basically any friends I was able to understand that, other people thought I was weird in that sense. And it sucked, no one fully understood why I couldn’t run the mile, or why I couldn’t play sports. But when I first watched mlp I fully related to scootaloo, she couldn’t fly for very long, I couldn’t walk or stand up for very long. But the only difference was she pushed through it and didn’t let it become who she was. I was stuck in the rut of thinking I was only the “hey that’s the kid who falls!” Kid. She inspired me to not let that stop me from things I wanted to do.
I may not be in the fandom like at all but I still hold that mindset dear to me.


Scootaloo is disabled representation, it’s just never mentioned/no one asks why she can’t fly,And thought like normal in the show, which is a good thing, makes children and people think stuff like that is normal


hey! i was kinda wondering if the book that closed at the end of mlp was actually the book that sunny’s dad was researching and that’s how the G5 came to be so doesn’t that mean sunny’s dad was a really important part of G5?


I agree that pegasus flight uses magic. I've created a somewhat intricate headcanon and hope to find somebrony who can help me to work with this theory.
A while ago I tried to construct a system that explains MLP magic with an alternative form of physics. I wrote a fanfic about it but didn’t publish it because I couldn’t work out the details in a satisfactory way.

Using real physics – albeit in a modified form – is a way to do 'hard world building’: it’s more consistent and less ad-hoc than soft world building. Although, admittedly, MLP doesn’t strictly need hard world building, it’s fun to follow this path. Hard world building opens doors: it necessitates intricate solutions that inspire to stories you wouldn’t otherwise conceive.

This modified system of physics starts with adding an extra spatial dimension. This extra dimension is required for an unsuspected reason: pony eyes are larger than their heads! With an additional spatial dimension and a bit of mathematics it’s fairly easy to create objects that are ‘larger on the inside than on the outside’. There even exist 3D (one could say '4D') render engines that take such alternative physics into account.

Bending space (and time) induces forces, as shown by the Theory of Relativity. When space-time is folded in a certain way, you get gravity. We can use that principle to create 'magical' forces: the more simple types of magic create a force at a distance (telekinetics) or apply a force to the body. Such a force is gravity-like in the way it affects objects uniformly but it is much stronger, comparable to the electro-magnetic force. In theory such a fifth force can be generated by bending space-time, analogous to gravity.

Due to their eye size, space bending is already going on in the heads of ponies. We can postulate that they have a ‘magic gland’ somewhere in their brain, probably above the eyes. In unicorns, this gland connects to the horn. Earth ponies and pegasi have the same gland but use it in a different way. In my hypothesis, this gland actually bends space. Unicorns use their horn as a lens to focus the resulting space deformation to a certain location, where it manifests as a force. Earth ponies and pegasi can’t focus this force field, so its effect is less refined.

An additional presumption is that space bending can be used to ‘hide’ mass by shifting it towards a fourth dimension. This way it can be used to reduce gravity or even induce anti-gravity. This is what I believe pegasi do: reduce their mass to zero so they can fly even with short wings. This also explains why they can walk on clouds: I presume they have an instinctive reflex that makes them weightless when their hooves touch clouds.
Even Scootaloo can do this. My theory about Scootaloo would be that she has the ability to fly, but lacks the skill to consciously reduce her mass. In my never published story, someone creates a therapy that helps Scootaloo to fly by doing mental exercises. So in my headcanon, it's not a physical but a neurological disability that she may be able to overcome.

I hope to find a brony with a degree in physics one day so I can work out this theory and write this story with some confidence; together with a couple of other stories I have in store. Once you see how magic can be a form of physics, things fall into place and new stories tend to pop up.


the obvious reason is that it’s not interesting if everyone’s perfect so scootaloo offered to take on the role, what a brave soul.


While that's interesting, maybe I missed something in "Sleepless in Ponyville" because at the end when; Rarity, Sweetie Belle, Applejack, Apple Bloom, Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo had reached Winsome Falls we clearly see both pegasus racing each other and they're even at least a foot apart as Rainbow isn't holding Scootaloo up.  Of the few episodes I've seen so far most of the time Scootaloo seems to beat her wings more like a hummingbird, yet if the wing size is too small then Bulk Biceps shouldn't be able to fly either (even well enough to get into Wonderbolt Academy)


Or, going along that vein, she could have a birth defect where her "astral wings" don't function well enough. Astral wing hypoplasia, lol. That wouldn't affect her ability to stand on clouds.


It's just magic, deal with it.

Also she's pretty young, and she'll be able to fly soon.


I think that it's the size of her wings, being much too small.

But, I have a much more important question.

Do you think pegasi and alicorns go through molts, like birds? Or are they just born with their flight feathers?

Edit: thought about Flurry Heart, who could fly as a baby. I suppose they're born with flight feathers. Keeping the previous question though.


I love how your making a video using scootaloo and sunny as example and they look the same with a major difference one can fly and the other can’t


I'm wondering that, it's possible she has the pony equivalent of some sort of disability like humans have MS where our body parts don't do quite what we need them to do most of the time resulting in near "Useless" limb movement. She can use her wings to move super fast on her scooter, so she might have somehow broken the bond of her physical wings with these magical astral wings.


Well it's my theory but can it be possible that scootaloo is the first victim of magic drainage (what else can we call it) from equestria. Cause in gen 5 we can see no pagasis can fly(cause magic was lost), and we can see the bulk, he also have small wings (and a huge body) but he can still fly ( so it's not the physical disability).
And maybe twilight understand that magic will drain from equestria and made those three jewels (one of each tribe) guessing that when the magic will be drain maybe tribes will call each other the cause and will be separated again, and Believeing that when that will happen someone will again understand the magic of friendship and will help those jewels come together again giving the magic (and friendship) back to tribes.
And I am a huge fan of yours.

And by the way, which editing software you use it's awesome👍.


Maybe Ever since Scootaloo was born her wings stayed the same ever since she was a new born filly. Her body could be too heavy for her wings to carry her.

 To explain biceps his wings are probably fully grown but he just has big muscles so his wings are tiny. Also any time we see biceps fly we see him struggle a little bit. Tiny wings does give a disadvantage.


i think ur right cuz when tirek took the pegasus's magic they still had their real wings with them so i think he might've taken to astral wings


I'm so happy this channel is still going even though mlp ended.. I've been watching since years ago and i was super surprised to see this vdeo :p


My theory has some similarities and some differences.  I personally think Scootaloo has a magic deficiency, and one which may have posed other problems for her later in life.  The wings themselves are, I think, a symptom and not the problem.  As has been said, if Bulk can fly in spite of having small wings that's not the whole picture, as by all rights, nopony should be able to fly even with normal sized wings.  Personally, I think Scootaloo's low on at least Pegasus magic.

@Alegria Déesse I see your point I just thought I was om to something just mistaken, thank you.

@Lee Bulger she closes them, but less often: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xS8GXnMiepg/maxresdefault.jpg

I notice that Scootaloo cannot close her wings like other pegasi.


Just important note, when you said "8 metres squared" that's actually 8 squared metres squared, or 64 metres squared. 8 of those squares would be 8 metres squared or 8 square (note not with a d) metres


You should do a theory on Sci-Twi. Even though the MLP EG series had ended, I'm still confused on why she's an alicorn in the human world (when she ponys up) but in spring breakdown when she went to Equestria, she was a unicorn. I searched it up but it didn't really come with a sustainable answer. Also another cool theory to see would be, what happened to the human world? In G5, we never really see anything that could resemble a portal to another world. And with some ponies not being in each other's worlds, what would happen to children had in Equestria, but not in the human world? (Example: We never really see Cheese Sandwich in the human world if I'm not mistaken, but we sure do see Pinkie Pie. So what about Lil' Cheese?)


I never thought of an explanation behind this; I just accepted that she was disabled. Like, if someone has trouble walking and uses a wheelchair, walker, etc., you don’t ponder what caused that disability.


I always figured it was just some sort of magical disability. if you've ever played vampire the Masquerade you'd be familiar with supernatural flaws


2:31 sure she can stand on clouds, but do you remember that one episode when twilight gave rarity wings? She was completely exhausted from that spell but had no problem casting a "walk on clouds " spell 5 times.
My theory is that because of her disability she has a lack of magic but it's not completely gone

@Twilight sparkle jer the result is still the same though, one wings spell is harder to pull off than (at least) three walk on clouds spells

She only cast the walk on cloudsspell three times - rarity, rainbow dash and fluttershy

@Chara Violet oh yeah, facepalm  moment <br>I forgot about rainbow and fluttershy

@Chara Violet oh yeah, facepalm  moment
I forgot about rainbow and fluttershy

she actually only had to cast the "walk on clouds" spell three times, seeing as Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are already pegasi, and Rarity already got the wings.


If Muscles McGee's wings work to lift him, and magic wings are the same size and are reliant on the physical wings, wouldnt his not work either..?


In the episode when they were in a dream and scootaloo dreamed of bigger wings and she could fly proves this point so much more


I haven't been watching you for so long but your videos are still my favorite!


Probably scootaloo's pegasus abilities haven't fully developed meaning that she could still walk on clouds but her ability to fly hasn't been fully developed. The reason I think pound cake is able to do so is that his abilities had developed quickly and bulk biceps has too.


"Talk about boneless wings!"<br>Nearly choked on that one.

"Talk about boneless wings!"
Nearly choked on that one.


I just thought something that kinda like Nemo... But it happens to her wings to the point she can't fly... Even in adulthood


Scientifically Bumblebees are not suppose to be able to fly but they do :)  <br>Those Pegasus Ponies seem to have different flight abilities.  Rainbow Dash is extremely fast & agile vs Fluttershy being obviously way slower.

I think she just doesn't have enough magic to fly, but enough magic to walk on clouds.


Theory suggestion:

How does age work between the human dimension and Equestria, for example we know that Twilight is at least 19-20(before the last problem) due to the fact that she said she graduated magic school but when she went to the human world she was like a 14-16 yr old

Edit: technically somepony else said she graduated but you get the point


I'm just trying to figure out how Bulk Biceps' wings allow him to fly. His wings aren't much bigger proportionally than Scootaloo's and while he does show some difficulty when flying, but he's still able to fly. How is that possible?

He's never been seen flying all that well - even in "Wonderbolts Academy", he struggles with taking off and is among the slower fliers. Plus we never saw him as a foal - he could well have been in a similar predicament to Scootaloo growing up, requiring extensive training to get going.

As for the Biceps, it seems to me that he just has more magic than Scootaloo. Not so much, but this level is already enough to fly a little.

@Best Bacon Gaming He's flying because it's funny to see a bulked-up horse with tiny wings fly. It's comedy. Scoots can't fly because in her case it's meant to be tragic.

@Zidders Roofurry
Bulk biceps doesn't care what ponies think is possible

@Zidders Roofurry
*Bulk biceps doesn't care what ponies think is possible*

@Aieris Frost I know you're referencing the whole bees supposedly not being able to fly according to physics, and flying anyways because they don't care what humans think is impossible thing, but bee flight is possible because their wings move in a certain pattern that helps create mini-air vortexes that provide both lift and propulsion. It's not really applicable.

Since Scootaloo has an actual disability, this would affect her ability to use the astral wings while Bulk Biceps still could since he's healthy. It's not necessarily the wingspan, as Sawtooth said in the beginning of the video.

Bulk biceps doesn't care what ponies think is impossible


As we know Luna/Nightmare moon was banished to the moon with the elements of harmony. But when the main six used the elements on other enemys why weren't they banished to the moon as well? (This has been stuck in my head for awhile.)


could it also be due to the fact that the 4 other wings (and also due to the fact they are smaller) could be the reason aswell? just an assumption


I like this theory…but I think her apparently being only half Pegasus is still a factor


The couple reasons I thought that I think ere true until i connected the dots and I put it all together,
Reason number 1. , She might be to young, but when there was a episode of My little pony I watched, there was a colt or female pony younger than her that was flying,
Reason number 2, she might not have the strength to fly because of her mental thoughts, she might be thinking that she will fall off something way higher than before,
Reason number 3, she might not have the strength in her body, but her dad managed to get up to the clouds when he is a earth pony.. so there has to be a good reason for this all.. I nebver really found the right awnser, so i went to google and I don't know if its true or if its not.. sorry for this by the way..


Physical disability hindering magical ability is a really good theory to be honest, i doubt the astral wings theory is true, but physical disability hindering magical ability is definitely a plausible idea

Plus, if you think about what happened to Tempest Shadow, her horn being broken off also affected the focusing ability of her magic, though she definitely still had it, it had no way to consistently and safely be used to cast spells besides making fireworks


My headcanon has been scootaloo and other small winged pegasus were born premature,  which explains why they have either lack the ability to fly or with additional muscle mass in the case of bulk biceps and kettlebell  to have flight


Maybe Scootaloo has a uneven mix of magic? Earth magic may be dominant so that is why she is grounded, but she still has pegasus magic that allows her to walk and collide with clouds. The magic of the wings might be diminished to the point where they are 1%, meaning at 100 percent of her effort, is hovering and more would be needed for flight. Honestly, I'm surprised that Twilight didn't just enhance the magic of her wings to give her flight.


To my mind, the wings should be big enough if there is no magic. Do you know why birds need a keel? Their large chest consists of giant shoulder and pectoral muscles, which can literally crush each other with their mass, which will cause a serious trauma. The keel separates the right muscles from the left ones, preventing them from pressing on each other. Birds generally have quite large "biceps", birds are athletes.

Short answer: Scootaloo has a flying disability and her wings are too small while biceps is really strong therefore can produce tons of wing power to keep him flying longer than scootaloo.


sawtooth, scootaloo inhearted a bit of both she got her magic from her mom to be able to stand on clouds but her day is an earth pony so that she also didn't have the same tip of magic of pranets so it could be diffrent and equilvant.


I would argue that she only has half the magic allowing for Cloudwalking and not lift, but we have seen those wings be used to help her propel herself on her Scooter (and by extent should work for hang gliders as well).
<br>Now, it is true, according to all known laws of a Drunk French Aviation Engineer, bumblebees don't have the wingspan to be able to lift their chubby little bodies... But we don't exactly see these pegasi flapping their wings in a way to create that vortex of air that would lift them.

The muscular pegasis has small wings like scootalo. I think the previous theory of magic more accurate. Unicorns have natural magic and horns. Pegasi have natural magic and wings. Earth ponies have natural magic (strength and crops). Both physical and internal are important. Tempest had magic but she couldn't perform magic the same after her horn was damaged. The same is true with wing malformations for pegasi and missing limbs for earth ponies. Conversely even with strong limbs, wings, and long horns if there is not strong magic it doesn't matter. Muscular pegasis had weak wings but highly strong magic to be able to fly (like twilight level magic). Scootalo might have strong wing magic but nit strong enough to fly. Rainbow dash has strong wing and magic. The whole walking on clouds thing could be magic even weak magic pegasi possess. Maybe acting more like a gene that any pegasi have.


I think I know the answer. Instead of skootaloo getting her magic to fly sunny got skootaloos magic they look the same the system thought sunny was skootaloo which prevents the real skootaloo from being able to fly. And thats all


She has a partial magical disability<br>So although she can stand on clouds, she cannot fly

She has a partial magical disability
So although she can stand on clouds, she cannot fly


If Scootaloo ever went down that route (of kinda prosthetic wings)  I think that either she'd ask a very powerful creature to help her separate her astral wings from her physical wings,  or just have her wings amputated and get prosthetic wings controlled by magic. (similar to Tank's propeller)


I’m amazed you put the fact that Pegasus shouldn’t be able to fly because of there wing size.


Maybe her physical disability (small wings even when she grew up) automatically affected her magic, making her unable to fly for a long period of time


What if the earth pony magic and pegasi magic simply just mix like scootaloo look like a pegasi and can stand in clouds but her father 's earth pony magic is preventing her to fly?


and she can flap her wings long enough. She scooters by flapping her wings. We have seen her on her scooter for more than two or three section.


0:41 You do realize the area of 8 square meters is not equal to area of a square with 8-meters-long sides? It's 2 x 4 meters. What you've shown is 64 square meters.


Have you ever thought that scootaloo and sunny are so similar I think sunny is like a decendant of her or it's like the last generation where there were no phones but pipp has a phone because it's a new generation and she is her daughter but died when sunny was a baby but she married a earth pony so sunny was an earth pony


Conspiracy Theory: The reason the storm king became a villain is because his flag got oversimplified

ميراكلوس ١٠٠


I totally agree with what you said but bulk can still fly longer than scootaloo even though he is much larger and his wings are about the same size x


Wasn’t it confirmed in the show that Pegasi have hollow bones like birds. An alicorn has larger wings because they have the bones of a normal earth pony.


The real question here is, what does your cutie mark represent


please explain how a pegasusfilly like cozy glow can do magic while others cant shes a complete mystery


Considering how often she's buzzing those little wings, imagine how high her wingpower scale would be if she finally got a workaround?


If someone taught scooalo how flight magic works, she could possibly be able to fly... Just saying


3:27 why am I now realizing this kinda looks like a peace sign-


id say that scootaloo would be fine with her disability but when she got older she did once ask twilight to make her able to fly, just for a day or smth to know how it was like to truly fly by herself


True but remember at the end when they were grown up. There, Scootaloo still couldn't fly.


Simple explanation: Hasbro just wants to make adorable scenes of Rainbow Dash holding Scootalo like a ball while flying.


actually i serched this on google and this came out: She specifically identifies her relatively small wings compared to her body size as the cause of her inability, something she admits is unusual for a Pegasus her age, and expresses her fear that they will never grow and she will never be able to fly. || SHE can't fly because of her fear, and she thinks that her wings will never grow, she just needs more confidence to fly!


When whatever episode-( I forgot) they were aged up and bit scoots wings were still had very tiny wings when they should've been bigger since her body was bigger as well. So I think it has something to due to her growth with her wings as well


But have you seen the new episode on Netflix I'll be intrigued to see what your theory is about that personally without spoiling anything I think scootaloo might have been born at the point when magic started to be separated if you know you know so weird that it would make sense that Pegasus astro wings would also vanish


I kind of agree with that .  the thing is that Something could prevent her phisical wings to grow up like natural inhibitor ring from her wing bones


So excited to watch this video! That explanation makes a lot of sense, as it seems like even with the physical body part of their wings, they need something more. And as a person with a physical disability, I’ve loved the way they portrayed Scootaloo, she’s one of my favorite G4 ponies. :)

No matter what Scootaloo 'she is still a type of pony a special  on her own way


Wait... wouldn't it be a possibility for her to actually TRAIN her wings to fly further?


The episode where they get older, you can see her wings still appear small


1:06 can you really see if they're pneumatic from a non transversal or any cut view? 🤔


I always thought about it more scientifically. Flight could be a recessive trait which only shows if you have two recessive alleles. She got the flight allele from her mother, but didn’t get it from her father, so the dominant trait (flightless allele) was the one to show.

Mabey all ponies have the Pegasus flight genes but not enough pegasus genes to make them a pegasus. Mabey that is why 2 non pegasuses can have pegasus kids

@Zidders Roofurry I respect your opinion, but it’s entertaining to question why things happen within the pony world.

@Ocean Breezeyy The writers wanted diversity in their characters because it makes for a more interesting show. That's it. That's the ONLY reason. We don't and can't know pony genetics. That said maybe it IS genetic. Maybe at some point in the past, Mrs. Cake had some pegasus in her family history. Maybe she and Mr. Cake have an open relationship, and ponies can be impregnated by multiple different kinds of ponies at once.

All this theorizing is fun but it's always going to fall apart because the truth is the people behind the show were making it all up as they went along.

@Ocean Breezeyy Sorry, that doesn't really make sense to me anymore... As in I can't find pro or con arguments because I'm just confused. But if it makes sense to you, have fun with the theory and have a nice day! ^^

@Zidders Roofurry Then how do you explain the Cake twins that Die Hasis brought up?

@Die Hasis Maybe. Like I said, it’s recessive. That’s why only pegasi can fly. Pinkie Pie could even have a flight allele from way back in her ancestry. That’s probably why the Cake twins were born as a unicorn and pegasus.

well she must have had no luck because currently I think she's the only Pegasus in the series who can't fly

I only know what allels are because of 6th grade science class

@Zidders Roofurry Where do you know that from? I don't think this has been adressed in the show, so now I'm curious?

Genetics don't really have anything to do with it.

So the filly from the cakes just happened to get lucky and recieved two recessive flight alleles from both non-pegasi parents? But if non-pegasi had that gene they could still get both and... I don't even know? Float? I don't really think it makes sense that way, since there are way to few pegasi who can't fly (as far as I know one, Scootaloo) for it to be that simple. If a pegasi simply had to get one unlucky gene to not be able to fly, there would probably be a lot more of them.


Remember in the episode when she became an adult her wings were still small so that's proof that she will always have this and it's sad


that totally makes sense but my brain took a weird turn before watching the video and thought "what if she was the first sign of the weird magic loss thing"


It's been forever since I've kept up with the last few seasons....BUT don't we see Scootaloo grown in the very last episode. (The Last Problem) (And another one that the CMC wished to be grown up in Growing Up is Hard To Do) Aren't her wings still small even when she's her full size???


Scootaloo has a rare condition that makes her magic unable to get to her wings? but it stays somewhere else maybe her soul she is pretty spirited or perhaps even her legs she has been always athletically gifted.


My theory was:
 Scootaloo has a pegasus mom, and a heart pony dad. Like all, also ponies take characteristics from both mom and dad. Pegasus ponies are the lightest, because they live in the clouds  , heart ponies on the other hand are made to work in the fields, and therefore are heavier and stronger. My theory was that Scootaloo was born pegasus like mom, but heavy like dad, and so she is too heavy to fly
Consequently the wings are never used and when the pony grows the wings will remain small, Scootaloo ❤
Biceps also has tiny wings, but he probably manages to fly because it's a ponyc case
Lol

He did manage to fly on the Equestrian Games episode! But he was so tired from flying,he collapsed as he was passing the horse shoe to Fluttershy 😂


"they shouldn't scientifically be able to fly"- they said about bees


Watching your videos make my brains hurt, when I was watching MLP I never thought of all that stuff;-;. Now I lost way too many brain cells.


I always thought the pegisi had hollow bones, like birds.


I think what cause the flight issues is that her wings never grew strong so she can’t put the strength to fly


Even in the future when she’s grown up her wings still look quite small, smaller than an average adult Pegasus at least, supporting this idea that her wings are disabled in some way so she can’t fly, but we love her all the same!


I just read that it's not about the size of the wings (as Bulk Biceps showed), it's that pegasi flight are powered by magic. To me probably Scootaloo's magic hasn't fully developed and hers currently is just too little to lift her off the ground but is able to generate enough thrust to ride her scooter.


I think the easiest and most possible solution is just the fact that she's a mix of earth pony and pegasus. Since rest of the pegasus are born by pegasi parents and they can fly.


There are some diseases/medical conditions that can cause the deterioration of muscle mass- such as muscular dystrophy. This can lead to limbs (such as arms or legs) being very thin and weak, and in some cases unusable. This can lead to some people needed crutches to walk, or maybe not being able to walk at all and having to be in a wheel chair. So it's not too hard to believe that have a medical condition like this in your wings would limit your ability to fly. I don't think it's due to the size of her wings, which is what some people are saying in the comments. Every young pony her age and size has wings that size. I just think that she genuinely has a medical condition that caused/causes weakness and the loss of muscle mass, and this is leaving her disabled and unable to fully fly like other pegasi. And she'll never be able to fly like a normal pegasus.


scootaloo is to young to fly like every pony, they need to be full growm 😺


I know it's fun to come up with theories but in Scootaloo's case, there is no logical in-world explanation that will work without violating everything we know about the show's worlds setting. The fact is the writers meant Scootaloo to represent someone who's disabled only they didn't give her a disability that makes any sense. According to that world's own lore, all Twilight would have to do is come up with a spell to increase the size of her wings and fix whatever's wrong with her. That or Zecora could whip something up. More likely it's something that would have been easily discovered and repaired when she was born. Since ponies don't seem to have the same kind of ethical issues regarding 'fixing' infants at birth we humans, do then the only explanation that works is that it was meant to give differently-abled members of the show's audience a character to identify with.

The main issue with that of course is that it means the whole time Scootaloo's been alive nobody's bothered to fix what is more than likely an easily repairable condition. They've let her remain flightless for no apparent reason. To me, it doesn't make her relatable as much as it makes her a somewhat tragic character and another indictment of the writer's all-too-often short-term thinking.

@Harmony Moore I think despite ways of things in the mlp world more accessible to try to fix things, It’s made in a way where they all must accept it eventually and move on and or live their life with it. There’s also the thing of people not having the ambition to do so or it’s that they never knew they had a choice. I mean look at Tempest. On a journey to make herself whole again. Then in the end she seems to have given up on her quest and or accepts her fate.


In Season 9, it's shown that Scootaloo's dad is an earth pony, so maybe the reason she can't fly is because she's half earth pony


I like the idea that magic wings make a pony with wings fly and space wings too


Pretty sure the thing is if a  Pegasus and earth pony make a Pegasus there's a chance of them being stationary or unusable


В принципе теория неплохая, но взгляд всё-же стоит опустить на гены.

К примеру гены отца могут оказаться парциально-доминантными, что в конечном итоге и позволяет ей стоять на облаках, но не даёт возможности летать.

In principle, the theory is not bad, but the look should still be lowered to the genes.

For example, the father's genes may turn out to be partially dominant, which ultimately allows her to stand on clouds, but does not allow her to fly.


I sorry to rain on people’s parades of endless theories but I think Scootalo couldn’t fly because that represents a human’s disability. Say, if you had a disability where you couldn’t use a certain body part, that would represent her not being able to fly. To keep this on the simple side, at 3:59 , you can see that Scootalo’s wings are still as tiny as when she was a foal. For this detail can support the idea that she just has a physical disability where her wings might not grow as much as other Pegasi.

Additional details, if you look at this scene, 4:01 , compared to 4:16 , you can see the difference between RainbowDash’s wings and Scootalo’s. If you look at scene 4:16 , you can see that RD’s wings stick out from her body, but at 4:01 , Scootalo ‘s wings doesn’t. This is just additional detail to show you that the theory of her wings being smaller than most Pegasus was most likely true.

This is true actually. Since we see scootaloo grown up in one of the episodes plus In the show finale. Her wings are small. They had never grown.  And I love this, I love this repasenation for mlp it’s amazing

@White Fire The Dragon aight, I never really went deep into Scootalo not being able to fly so I never thought of her inability to fly was big.

That's pretty much the same thing he said. I kind of always knew that Scootaloo's inability to fly was a euphemism for being physically disabled.


I agree, but in G5, how and why do the sun and moon move in their own? Twilight moved the sun and moon, but when she “disappeared”, the sun and moon do move on their own. So what happens there?


There is something I can’t stop thinking about, if all magic is gone then how do they still have cuitemarks and how do they work now?


Maybe scootaloo had some magic of her mom and had alot of earth pony skills of her dad she has some Pegasus magic but was able to fly only sometimes


I think pegasi can fly without hollow bones and the things you said is that's how they want it to be.


I'm still confused as why Bulk Biceps does... But when the show wasn't over and people were discussing about wishing Scoots would fly, I always replied and still do that it's very good for the scenarists to not do it. I'm also very glad no al/unicorn used the butterfly wing spell on her, and that she went to Seaquestria and loved the sensation of swimming, and came back to Ponyville. We must not forget that most of the characters and most of the problems are supposed to be relatable. Scoots is relatable to many fans who have a physical disability, so giving an easy magical solution feels unfair to real life people.<br>The swimming experience is relatable to some physical disabilities.

The swimming experience is relatable to some physical disabilities.

How about a technological solution? Throughout MLP canon we've seen a hang glider, Tank's propeller, a prosthetic wing, two pedal-powered helicopters, and an earth pony aeronaut who got into the Wonderbolts. Scootaloo was even shown to have mechanical skills of her own, such that she could potentially develop what she needs herself and go on to help other pegasi who need a little extra lift. Yet all she ever got was a lecture from one of Equestria's top fliers about how she should have no preference for being able to fly over not being able to fly.

"You don't need to be not-disabled to be special" is a fine lesson in and of itself, but using it as a substitute for actual solutions in that department is seriously patronizing. Besides, plenty of people in real life use various technology to compensate for various disabilities.

@Sawtooth Waves can you please do a theory of the human world tirek next

bulky biceps does exactly what scootaloo can do, but he can hold it for much longer.


In one of sawtooth vids he said that it might be because pegasi need light bones unlike each pony’s and unicorns and scootaloo has bones as a earth pony which are heavier


What if the reason why Scootaloo doesn't have that muscle control needed to fly is because she had a TBI as an infant  on 1 of her parents adventures and when her parents found out they sent her to live with Holiday and Lofty and gave her her scooter.


Okay, love the Bee Movie reference at the beginning! 😂


love this theory it is confusing but fun


I like this theory. I definitely agree that Cozy Glow would make it so flight magic would stick around so she would have a way to retain power.


for a second you had me but then i thought about her actually flying in the end


see my guess would have been she just... is straight up stunted in magical growth. like she only has enough magic for the cloud walking but not much else.


Lauren Faust wanted Scootaloo to be a late bloomer and experience life with a disability and to find other ways she can be happy. However, following Lauren's exit after season 1, looks like the writers just wanted Scootaloo to live a hard knock life as a disabled pegasus. I mean, would she fit her name "Scootaloo" if she developed flying capabilities and ditched her scooter? Probably not😉


This theory is really awesome but I have a question,why does Sunny's dad look a little bit like twilight?


Last year a professor assigned the class to write an essay on representation in media using a specific media source as an example, and I did mine on disability representation, and chose mlp as the source. Did pretty good too.


That or she has enough pegasus magic to have the wings and walk on clouds, but not enough to fly. Or not enough to have that astral projection since that really bulky pegasus, Bulk Biceps, can still fly and was good enough to get into the Wonderbolts.

to have the astral projection


Do you think it’s the same for any other creatures beyond Equestria or even Griffins?


maybe pegasus are similar to birds. I think birds have air sacs in their body to make them lighter/weigh less.


I don’t think it’s that deep. Her wings just haven’t caught up to her yet. There are two ponies younger ponies than Scootaloo that I remember flying and one is Flurry but she doesn’t count for obvious reasons. The other is Pound Cake and after looking at both wings,they seem to be about the same size. But that’s just my theory.


As for the part where you said that pegasuses don’t have hollow bones, when Rainbow Dash got electrocuted by a storm cloud we only saw the outside of her bones and not the hollow inside of them. So the theory of pegasus ponies having hollow bones is still valid.


I think it could also be that she has a magic deficiency, she can't channel magic well.


Omg I remember watching you like 6 years ago i can't believe ur still making mlp stuff


i thought of something that i’d like you to shed some like on/share your opinion with. i was thinking about some fandoms i’m in and seeing who would get along with who.. interestingly enough i thought of grunkle stan from gravity falls and discord. i mean think about it, they’re both tricksters who would always play jokes on each other. they’re also both/can be con artists. if you have any thoughts on this please let me know!


“Pegasi cant fly.” <br>Me: “Not with that attitude.”

“Pegasi cant fly.”
Me: “Not with that attitude.”


i always believed that she just didn't have enough magic, her mom is a pegasus, but her father was not, so i'm guessing she got most of her genes from her dad, im also guessing she has a disability


My theory: Scootaloo doesn't actually KNOW how to fly. Which, in turn, makes it look like she has a disability.


Real answer:

It’s a TV show, that’s why, it doesn’t have to be realistic


I think you're half right with the Pegasi Magic what if she only gained some part of Pegasus magic, and some part Earth Pony magic?


When I saw the thumbnail I was like 😱Sunny stole scootaloo’s wings!


this question has been in my head for so long and have you noticed how in the song "the magic of friendship grows" scootaloo's wings still havent grown


Another theory. Magic shines in a color in G4, but in The end of the end part 2 when every magic creatures creates a shirld it shines silver White or no color. Did it hoppens when everyone use magic at same time.?<br>Theory 2 Can they see the shining magic?

Theory 2 Can they see the shining magic?


If Scootaloo has some sort of disability due to her wings, it isn't illustrated. Unlike Bulk Bisceps, Scootaloo's wings look like every other set of Pegasi wings as far as size and structure. So if she does have some sort of disability that isn't related to Pegasi magic, then it must be an internal issue.


I think Scootaloo has a disease in his wings. so even though it grows, its wings do not grow and cannot carry it.


i never thought of it that way, however i just thought it was like riding a bike, you learn.


I think she just doesnt have enough magic, remember the flyers competition? Giving rarity the ability to fly just took to much magic, but walking in clouds was way easier for twilight.


i feel like sunny may be a descendant of scootaloo, look at their colour schemes!


If you look closely at Argyel's workshop you can see Grogars bell, a picture of Star-swirl, season 4 mystery box, and a whole bunch of other things. I think Sunny might be related to a princess or something because how else would her father have gotten those things?


I never thought of it but metaphysical magic wings makes sense to me by that logic anything could if they both


Cozy Glow had small wings too, but she could fly.


the last episode g4 actually supports this theory when you see that Scootaloo has wings that are underdeveloped they are the size of  bulk biceps wings


Or maybe ponies have magical pathways similar to the circulatory or nervous system and Scoots lack of flight is a very rare disability from those not being formed or growing correctly. If babies get bursts of growth, like humans get growth spurts, and Scoots wings just....didn't while the rest of her body did. Her hooves and body can cloud walk, she can probably even do most weather control tasks on that level but she will never fly because those pathways never grew or opened up properly.


Sawtooth: Pegasi flying is not physically possible

… but teleportation and levitation is?


Look at twilight
She couldn’t fly till season 4 ep2 ending
It was difficult for her to fly but rainbow dash trained her in flying that rainbow talent as well .

Suprize Studios ACA Art Comics Animation


The thumbnail made me realize that Scootaloo looks surprisingly similar to Sunny. Maybe she and Sunny are related somehow? Scootaloo  does have some earth pony blood, after all.


Or maybe her Pegasus power is just not strong enough?


You know I've noticed something shining armor and Vinal have the same coat and mane color and I was thinking what if they were siblings😮


the beginning reminds me of the bee movies begging with the "their is no way a bee should be able to fly because their wings are too small... blah blah blah"


I think we saw scotaloo in the future fly, just with smaller wings


Seems to make sense for the most part, however while it doesn't change the magic aspect of their flight ability, I would justify that the pegasai could still have hollow bones and that we don't see that in RD's skeletal structure simply because it wasn't a necessary or advantageous addition to the animation.


But I think that scene would also be scary if they made Dash's bones hollow 😭😭


Cozy glow also had tiny wings but she could still fly and maybe scootaloo can,t fly because he flaps really fast.


To be honest I kind a used that line 1:48 when cozy drained magic I kind of said that in my theory as well


I think you're wrong because if physical wings are what controls the spiritual wings then how did Sunny fly?<br>I think Scootaloo's disability doesn't have an explanation, i think that's just how she was born,  if we really need an explanation it's probably more related to her magic, maybe there are some pegasus who just aren't born with pegasus' magic.

Are Tempest_Shadow and Scootaloo the only ponies in the MLP FIM show with disabilities? What would happen if they became friends?

Derpy Hooves.. I believe... Has a mental disability

There was a character in the swap meet episode who used a sort of wheelchair/mobility aid for his back legs, but he was just in that episode I think. And there was a pony with a prosthetic leg in the special about the town that lost colors. But yeah, seeing tempest meet scootaloo would be awesome!


I thought it was pretty cut and dry. Scootaloo is disabled, that's it, end of story, no need to really investigate bc we don't really need to know WHY she's unable to fly. She's disabled, which is why she can't fly, that's really it tbh.


I noticed in growing up is hard to do season nine when they wished to grow older when scooter Lou was a grown-up her wings were still small and she still couldn’t fly.


I think you are correct I've been doing my calculations and well your right.


I have a theory, that pegasi have a magic that makes them lighter, explains why tirek could disable pegasi flight


3:59 omg i never realized Scoots small wings as an adult 💀 I was kinda excepting it but it just looks so funny


Maybe the true flying was the friends we made along the way


Here is something weird about the cutie mark crusaders: they did not change in any of the seasons or episodes but they changed after twilight became as high as celestia


You forgot the part of the big dream thingy where scoodaloo got to fly(once) that makes the part that I think her wings are too small did you see flurry heart’s wings pretty small but smaller it just doesnt fit but I have taken my time and maybe there was a cover on it but then- idk what to explain xD(But I hope this make good info luv ur vids)


Hey Sawtooth waves considering you saw my post I’ll put my theory’s on you’re vids so you remember and you can fin them easier
2.if celestia, luna, cadence,twilight, and flurry heart are all considered princesses then whos the king and queen of equestira and can there be a king/prince so far in equestria history there has been no sign of a stallion ruler shure theres shining armor but other than him theres no good king/prince.

3. Hey Sawtooth waves
I have a theory for you
Could it be possible that princible sinch is cadences mother
Heres what i mean
Think about it sinch is pricible and cadence is dean  pricible is a higher rank than dean would that mean in the pony world that if theres princess cadence and sinch is in higher authority than candence in the human world then is it possible Sinch is cadences mother I mean human celestial and Luna ran canterlot high as sisters why not sinch and cadence as mother and daughter and does that mean that pony sinch is a queen
4.My question is Why did magic, and flight dissapear in the first place in Mlp new generation this might be an obviouse question but tirek and cozy glow are stone and the ponies seprating couldnt have been chrysalis because she is stone too, there are to line in MLP new gen that stand out
Izzy says that magic one day just dissapeard
And Hitch doesnt belive that ponies wer once together and says that liek it or not this is the way it is wich leads that they think ponies never got together in the first place like if grogar never tried to rule equestria the ribes wouldnt get together to stop grogar and wouldnt know of eachother existence right away
So what could have made it so there magic would just disappear


I always assumed her wings weren’t fully formed or formed weird like how my feat are flat and flexible it makes walking hard because my feat tend to move inward and it can cause me to trip if I’m not careful


At 4:06 - 4:16 that’s really positive, I LOVE IT!!


There's an anime called Heavens Design Team, they said in order for a Pegasus to be successful they would have to be super buff and constantly shitting itself.


I always thought she couldn't fly because she wasn't old enough. Like birds


Well we know magic comes in different amounts so many she just doesn't have enough to fly


Always wanted to do a video on Scootaloo's flight disability, and how Bulk could potentially help her learn to do so, since he has a similar problem, (being too heavy).


I have a theory that when luna turned into nightmare moon it also came with a de ageing spell. Because when she turned into nightmare moon she had the flowy main and when she turned back she had regular hair again. But it would ware of quickly and return back to her original age.

@Reese you have your theory and i have mine

It wasn't a de-ageing spell. She only looked like that because she didn't have her full magic back yet.


I like the disability rep that we got w scootalo and was very influential for me who has ADHD and especially in childhood


Out of context but has anybody noticed that in the vase that spike used to explain the crystaling back in season 6 the crystal ponies weren't only earth ponies but also unicorns and pegasus?


Yes I know i’m very very late for the vid. So this is what I think…. Big wings? Yes. When that weird nightmare thing invaded ponies’ dreams, Scootaloo had big wings and flew. FLEW. Astral wings? Maybe. But what if Astral magic and Pegasus magic were different and her dad was blocking the Astral magic from reaching Scootaloo since he’s an Earth Pony. (Have I got it wrong? But he’s 100% not a Pegasus) Could my theory be correct though? Please give me more ideas!


Love how mlp just casually put a mainish character with a disability and showed ppl it was okay. Literally love this show.


Well I think it's just her wings because you know she's still little and her wings are tiny but when she grows up her wings will be growing big and she'll be able to fly

☆ﾟ.*･MUGS✧ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ


it could also be that she is flapping them too quickly


I really love mlp ever since it thought so many things to me


I figured it was just cause she was only half pegasi. She has the wings and powers of the pegasi but not enough to make her fly. but just enough to be able to stand on clouds. Her magic is there, but just very little of it.


Maybe the reason Scootaloo can't fly is to show that Pegasi can also lead a happy life without flying.

That's definitely the reason of why it was put in the show in that way, to signal that people with disabilities can still lead happy lives, but that's not an in-universe explanation. It needs to make sense within the laws of the pony-universe.


scootaloo move his pysichal wings too fast ig??

or too much pushing his ability that scootaloo doesnt had


I haven’t watched my little pony. But this right here makes me want to watch it!


She was a filly so as mentioned in the series, the wings could have not grown so- no flight.


I thought it was because her wings where to small which limited her ability to fly


Frankly, I think Scootaloo's physical strength inability to fly is limited to her physical size, not her wing strength.

We never once saw her attempt to fly as an adult, not in the episode where she and the Crusaders became adults because of a wish, or during the finale.

However, Scootaloo DOES say when they're adults that she's surprised how much faster she's able to move on her scooter as the trio headed for the train station.

Scootaloo being surprised how fast she was going means her wings, while Still being the same size as before, are much stronger when she’s an adult.

This tells me that, once she becomes an adult, her wings WILL be strong enough to help her fly, just like Bulk Biceps.

And I don't see that as cheapening the message Scootaloo represents as a pony with a disability. If anything, it strengthens it because it shows that, while her disability does still hinder her, like everyone with disabilities, including myself, she learns how to work WITH her disability and continue on with her life.


I feel bad for scootaloo :( she deserves to fly :/


Or the creators just though<br>"Ehhh yea why not let's give her wings, but she can't fly to make her more interesting." Lol

Or the creators just though
"Ehhh yea why not let's give her wings, but she can't fly to make her more interesting." Lol


Seriously, this is being thought about WAAAAAYYYY too much. I think that it's probably because only one of her parents is a Pegasoos, and one isn't. Just think: Dash and Flutters' parents are both pegasi and they fly. Rarity and Twily's parents are Unis, and they were both born Unicorns, and Pinkie and AJs parents were Earth Ponies, just as they are. People are thinking WAY over their heads about this


Well they either need to be ginormous or flap faster then light


but by following your theory, then Bulky Biceps shouldn't be able to fly either since his wings are in even worse shape than Scootaloo if we look at their bodies. Yet he do.


This…this is making insanely good sense to me. (A South Park quote)


Twilight and starlight could wip up a spell to separate the astral wings and scootaloo could be able to fly in the future


You forget Fluttershy. It's possible that some Pegasi are simply late bloomers. If Bulk Biceps' wings support him, Scootaloo's should support her.


My theory is that, like unicorn horns, pegasus wings serve as a sort of physical conduit used to manipulate their natural magic. By themselves, there's nothing to suggest that horns or pegasus wings could use magic they way that they do, but maybe with an insufficient tool they can't tap into that well. Think of when Twilight's horn went soft and she couldn't cast any spells.

Or in the movie, you see Tempest Shadow unable to cast most magicks. Sure, she can cast the spell to produce fireworks, but shes unable to do anything else.

I think your theory is very likely.


Mabye the same thing happened with Bulk Biceps he has small wings and can barely fly.


I certainly believe her wings never developed properly and never grew to their strongest


I thought Scootaloo just had undeveloped wings?


Watching Sawtooth’s videos are like watching a fun science lesson.


1:10 You wouldn't be able to tell if bones are hollow from the outside.


Would it cost something for you to create a pony for someone??


Is anyone else a little freaked out at how similar Scootaloo and Sunny look?


was dissappointed in the series finale cuz we didnt see the slow growth of the other charictars like spike and raritys getting married after all these years the 20 yr time skip was such alet down<br>wecould have used more seasons of the show

was dissappointed in the series finale cuz we didnt see the slow growth of the other charictars like spike and raritys getting married after all these years the 20 yr time skip was such alet down
wecould have used more seasons of the show


Hey Sawtooth. I’ve studied the anatomy of ponies and found out that the skeletal anatomy of a pony is different from our real world horse. The average pony in my little pony is smaller than a horse, I’d say that a pony like celestia or older twilight are more like real world horses, so when it comes to this:

0:44

The simple answer is that the pegasus needs to have a specific wing size that can be able to help get them off the ground and, as we saw from the series finale. Even scootaloo’s wings then were still small. She does not have the right wing size to fly. Same with bulk but his wings are still big enough to where he can fly somewhat. If bulk was smaller with lass muscle like other Pegasi than he could fly properly. Sorry for my bad grammar


You are right but it's also because if you noticed in the picture when it shows the bones they dont have a joint but scooterloo has a joint


“why can any pegasus fly?”
“because they have wings”
end

ꨄAᴋᴀʀɪ Pᴜᴅɪᴍʷᵒʳˡᵈ


Crystalis has holes in her wings and still can fly 🤔


I mean, the astral wing things, yeah that seems right but ngl, where did Sunny’s wings come from? Her astral wings? Maybe, my theory is that Scootaloo  never did have astrol wings because Sunny has her wings, it makes sense because Sunnny’s astral wings are orange like Scootaloo, so basically:

Scootaloo can’t fly because Sunny has her astral wings. Without astral wings, she can’t fly. Maybe like- the GoDs Of EqUeStRiA knew what the furture would be like, and so they chose Sunny, a young little filly to save the world, and - a prize I guess? So, they took away Scootaloos astral wings and gave them to her???

Idk-


I think you're onto something
I mean if it was purely magical, there wouldn't be a reason to have physical wings
Perhaps the wings are the conduit of Pegasus magic, like a Unicorn's horn
But if that conduit is weak or damaged, there are issues, like Tempest's horn
Sure a unicorn's abilities are magical, but the horn is necessary to use that magic
Likewise, a pegsus's ability to fly is magical, but the wings are necessary to use their magic


I honestly always knew that , even though i had no idea what was a disability when i used to watch mlp (i just watch this guy not even mlp)


I- <br>I remember that she had flew in an episode... idk which one, it has been 4 years since i have seen mlp

I-
I remember that she had flew in an episode... idk which one, it has been 4 years since i have seen mlp


I recognized that bee movie quote, I’ve watched that movie too many times


She has a disability, one wing is smaller than the other and that stops her from keeping balance when in flight. So, she always falls


Don't forget even the big muscular pony called "Bulk Biceps" even that can fly with it's tiny wings. Remember the episode where Rainbow dash and Lightning dust race each other doing circular laps of who would be lead pony


I still think Pipp Petals wings should have been same as scootaloo's. Even the first time I saw her fluffy wings I thought she was going to be a flightless Pegasus.


You know what's funny?. They use the excuse that scoodloos wings are to small, but when you look at other Pegues her age, THIER WINGS ARE LITERALLY THE SAME SIZE.


Good theory, Sawtooth Waves. It would make sense on why Scootaloo can't fly. It's really interesting and odd that in the show we never got an answer. Instaed it was always Scootaloo trying fly but just can't. I'm surprised Twilight wouldn't want to investigate or find out what's the problem. I guess maybe Scotaloo was always meant to not be able to fly to represent disabled people or those with problems. If that was the case that was a good move to teach kids and also let adults know that. All in all I really did like the video and can't wait for more. Brohoof!


i have a neuromuscular disorder which affects muscle performance, movement and exhaustion, and i stan scootaloo


I thought she couldn’t fly because she was too young, and in the new season when she’s older we see her fly


Ummm I have noticed that what if, Scootalo had an infinite life and Sunny was actually Scootalo from the future look, Sunny has purple hair and a n orange body just like Scootalo and her name starts with S just like Scootalo. And you did say her dad might be an Earth pony so maybe she can regrow her wings when she wants to. We have seen that the CMC's grew up by a flower so what if that flower gave them powers and infinite lives that it thought they would discover in the future.


Sawtooth: The pegasi were grounded<br>Me: hahaha That's a good one 😆

Sawtooth: The pegasi were grounded
Me: hahaha That's a good one 😆


If your theory is correct about astral wings being only as good as physical ones, then what about Bulk Biceps? His physical wings are actually worse than Scootaloo's, when compared to body size


i say maybe scootaloo did get her wings grown when she grow up and that we saw as her grown on the end episode with small wings was a mistake


I'm thinking that scootaloo's wings since they are even smaller than the other Pegasus fillies and colts they might be weaker and they might not be able to distribute as much moving there underneath them as the other fillies and colts can


I always thought she was an orphan and didn't have any parents to teach her like a baby bird that never knew how to fly cuz their owner never threw them out of the nest


One thing that makes sense before you make any assumption scootaloo has a magical tumor in the base of her wings not a disability so you mite won’t to read or listen to a audio version of a fan made book called helljumpers


i think that she just hasnt tapped into magic, like how unicorns learn new magic but less learning. like unicorns with their levitation.


Dang I though scoot allow wings we’re just to smol for flight-


This might be a little bit long, but hear me out
2 possible theories
1. Honestly I think it might be the belief in magic, or a psychological problem, either too much anxiety and fear or possibly over excitement, like somehow her emotional state affects her physical state and the way or something like that, or because I do suspect it might have something to do with her backstory/her relationship with her parents, because I think there is one episode where they do explain that both of her parents go out on adventures or expeditions, therefore maybe she feels abandoned in the way or doesn’t have her parents around so maybe a identity issue, she doesn’t seem to be up ducted by it but that’s probably because it’s supposed to be a kid show so they can’t make it too depressing lol
2. Maybe it is a birth defect or she is possibly adopted, but I’m guessing more of a birth defect because if she has wings but can’t fly either because she wasn’t supposed to have them in the first place or because maybe she was a science experiment lol 😂
Still makes me wonder because they never quite mentioned that in the show, unless she had an injury that she doesn’t remember or she does not talk about, even then I would think that she would want to find a device to help her to fly, but she never did so maybe if he did have an accident, it probably traumatized her, even if she does or does not remember


I think its because her dad is an earth pony so she gained wings but not the ability to fly


Scootaloo may have been Sunny!!!! I mean look in the pic of Scotaloo and Sunny,the hair and skin is same colors!!


the creators made her so kids can learn that you dont need somthing cool to be awsome


I think you're right that Pegasus  can't  fly 😉


Simple that her Pegasus magic is weaker than most.

Twilight proves in season 1 during the Sonic rainboom episode that spells that make you fly take up a lot more power and energy than spells it simply allow you to walk on clouds

So for some reason that we don't know scootaloo doesn't have as much connection to her Pegasus magic we would almost blame it on the fact that she's only half Pegasus but then pound cake can still fly without any problems


I thought she couldn't fly because one of her parents was an earth pony and the other was a pegasus


I like the theory but it has it’s confusing moments.<br>If scootaloos magic wings are only as good as her physical wings then big biceps shouldn’t be able to fly either I personally believe that it is a psychological issue rather than a physical issue

Haha! The quote from Bee movie at the beginning😁🐝


I think the real reason she can't fly is because her wings are so tiny no other reason at all ...it takes a lot of strength for her to really try and fly tho nice video !


Scootaloo is an example that even tho you have a disability, you can still be positive,kind, and maybe make the world understand that you can do things with a disability 😊


maybe she just has a reduced magical ability?


I just realized that the reason that ponies in the future only have 1 cutie mark is because when your magic is taken away, so is your mark. Twilight sealed away magic unless everyone cooperates. There's a theory in there.


Was just thinking, in the New Generation movie, it's understandable that the Mane 6 are gone, but where were the new kids like Yona, Sandbar, Ocellus, etc? Surely they wouldn't have gone to? @Sawtooth Waves


I think people with disabilities can relate to Scootaloo.


3:48 Ayy! It's been a minute since I've heard To The Skies!

On the astral wing theory though, assuming that the magic is one of the primary factors causing flight, does that mean that those who's talents are flight/related to flight get an extra boost from their cutie mark magic? Like Every pegasus can train to fly faster, we've seen that before. But we've also seen that their is also magic related to their cutie marks. And when the marks are taken away they can't fly that fast, like we've seen with Rainbow Dash. Though I suppose then it proposes another problem where we gotta question if each pegasus's flight is directly dependent on their cutie mark or not, or if that's only in very specific instances.

Also the fact that astral wings exist hint at the possibility of an astral horn. Could there be a unicorn who struggles to use magic for the same reason? We do know that the spells they can use are limited to their special talents, just like pegasi with flight. But who knows!

It's like her feathers are inverted and just comb the air


Him asking all these questions
me just thinking it’s a kids show🤣

*Him asking all these questions*
*me just thinking it’s a kids show🤣*


Honestly she could be Scootaloo's mom or older sister


So this reminds me of bees for the fact that they also should not be able to fly


I always just took it as almost a handicap or disability.  Differently abled ponies just like differently abled people.


I think he is young that's why he can't control when he fly and I love your videos 🌝


I thought you were gonna say that sunny star scout Stole scootaloo’s astral wings


As shown in the new generation and and make your mark it shows clearly that Pegasus I need magic to fly


well she might just be to yong to fly very long you know like baby brids


she couldve simply been the first pony to be evidence of disappearing magic we have seen times when the ponies dividedin the show before even in just short amounts of time maybe scootaloo was born during one of them but it doesnt make sense how they lost thier magic when they seperated because they had magic before the friendship fire unless the few meetings when they just argued was enough becaue they still saw eachother


holy, didn’t in the dream episode scootalo got like really big wings?


Honestly i think her wings are just too weak


I already know this is gonna be good. Holy muffin


yeah i think flight magic goes after the 3 days/ on the last day with normal magic


Fun fact; hollow bones don't make birds lighter. Their skeletons are actually heavier than animals of similar size. Their bones are pneumatized, full of spaces for air but dense. As a bird grows, the air sacs of their lungs extend into the bones, forming the hollow structure. This provides extra space for oxygen as they breath. Extra fun fact; due to how birds breath, they take in oxygen on both the inhale and exhale.


Scoots' wings are the same size as Bulk (Snowflake) Biceps, but she flaps them as fast as any bee's wing beats.  If anything, she, like a bumblebee should be flying.  This is where the creators insert their "Plot-Devise" logic, enough said...


8 square meters is not a 8x8 grid. Its 1x8 or 2x4 or 1.6x5 etc.


Here's the Problem I have with all that, They SHOW Scootaloo Flying for 5 seconds in Rarity's Boutique in the season 2 episode "The Cutie Pox" and yet later, season 3s "Sleepless In Ponyville" and, most notably, season 4s "Flight To The Finish" go out of their way to explain that Scootaloo CAN'T do something that the animation showed her Doing with Little To No Problem in season 2! Which is why I want to Personally ask Madeline Peters as to what Some of HER Personal Theories are as to what the heck's going on here?!


Can we see a video about the cutie Marks of Sunny and her friends?


I think the reason is that that she needs both parents to be Pegasus to fly


I just think scootaloo didn't learn yet Joe to fly


the creators who didn't think it through and just thought about giving the disability: 👁👄👁 yup, that's exactly what we meant by it😅👍


I think it is because she DOESN’T have astral wings, and the physical wing make the ability to walk on clouds.


If only tirek tried to suck up her magic or discord examine her so either could tell if she was off or without and find way to help her. Cuz love Twilight and all but she wouldn't be able to know scootaloos magic level like they would. Heck tirek could even take it from someone else not using theirs and give it to her if he was good ... Sucks we'll never fully know


I thought that pegasus would Learn how to fly when they grow up or like they need more time to develop more muscle


Their wings are too small for their body and they'll always be able to fly because it's a CARTOON


Can you do a video about this? Is oselas (school of friendship student) the only female changeling? (DON'T INCLUDE CRYSALIS)


What if Scootaloo’s flight ability was taken away from her? Like what if she was cursed to never fly and only had the physical form of a Pegasus? I think maybe this could be likely or she doesn’t have enough strength to fly properly.


Wasn't there a gag where scootaloo flew without realizing it?


Logically pegasus could not fly basic logic and illogical to the highest degree by the standards of Shock Wave but for some super natural forces at play does make this logical by the super natural force


i honestly thinks it was just the shows take on disability


Then how do you explain other creatures walking on clouds?

Tank doesn’t even have wings and yet with a motorized propeller attached to the shell, he’s able to live in Rainbow’s cloud house.

@Sky heartstar they already showed that is not possible, only way is using a magical spell

@Sada -Hoshi In the episode Dash gets started training in the reserves, we see her compress a cloud so it can bounce twilight’s air balloon  back up— maybe construction clouds are dense enough that they can hold objects and other creatures?

That's true, also the other mane six, but we'll we can say that Twilight used that spell we saw in the Ep when Rarity have butterfly wings


hi sawtooth waves I have some questions you know on my little pony’s there celestia and Luna rises sun/moon but in my little pony new generation who do that? [im sorry if my  English bad] I hope you see this


She can’t fly because shes like a bee but with logic.<br>Her wings are too small.

She can’t fly because shes like a bee but with logic.
Her wings are too small.


Or she could just be a late bloomer I mean scootaloo is pretty young so the entire series just a young filly we never really do see her as an adult that would be an interesting topic to talk about what happened to scootaloo


I never realized that her wings never grow from when she was a child until now


Not all magic in ponies is developed equally, as anyne can see in the comparisons of Trixie and Starlight, non-farming earthponies and farming earthponies, and Fluttershy and RainbowDash, there's deficiencies in all races of ponies, so it's possib;e Scootaloo has a magical deficiency. There is still hope, however, since we know Trixie can, with a lot of training and pracrice can perform basic transfiguration whereas before she could only do stage magic and not corporeal magic. Fluttershy did eventually learn to fly herself. It's possible Scootaloo's just an <b>extra</b> late bloomer, and being surrounded by terrestrial ponies certainly won't get her off the ground as quickly (duh-dum tss). She might learn to fly eventually if she was moved to Cloudsdale or Los Pegasus and given physical therapy specialized for her wings. Applejack is as crazy strong as she is because she spends most of her time on a farm surrounded by other earth ponies. Twilight grew up in a city of unicorns, and Rainbow Dash grew up in a place ful of other pegasi. Yes, Fluttershy is a slow flyer, but she prolly can only fly because she grew up in Cloudsdale with the help she needed to properly fly.

Ok soo we know scootaloos wings come from her mom yea? And got the earth pony looks from her dad. As you said earlier sawtooth we saw terec take the Pegasui magic, but did he ever give that magic back to scootaloo? Or do you need to be six/four to be Abel to fly? How old is scootaloo?  How do we know she isn't old enough to fly or did terec take her magic and is he living off that? These are my thoughts.


Scootaloo's wings haven't grown at all in the future 3:58


Actually, if you have a look at the episode where Diamond Tiara helped the Cutie Mark Crusaders all other tiny children did that weird mosquito-type of flying. That just means as you grow older, you have better flight ability and your wings grow bigger.


As far as I know she has a disability which makes her unable to fly because her wings won't grow anymore


also a possibility that I connected to the real world(I'm not a doctor or anything so this is a guess): so scootaloo is a resemblance to having a physical disability, so what if a reason she can't fly all that good is like when someone breaks a leg or arm, it is still usable but not as good as normal. so what if the Astro part of scootaloo's wing is broken and not fully connected, so it becomes much harder to use because it's not fully connected. someone might have already put this but I didn't see so. also love your work I've been watching you for forever lol!


But remember in the mlp they all got they're magic back the pegasus didn't?


They just didn't want wings to take over the screen.


Scootoloo has a little heavy weight with light wings, she are in both counterparts, her mom is a Pegasus and her dad is a earth pony which is why she can't fly, she was born in 2 different directions...


0:12 the world has forgotten about bumble bees 😂


I have a theroy when the mane 6 defeated nightmare moon and twilight said "you said it was just an old pony tale" that means SPIKE LIED TO TWILIGHT ABOUT THE LETTER I don't know if this is true but this is the only time I heard him lie maybe there's more lies in mlp


I feel that sunny is some relation to scootaloo e.g. grandmother, mother, great grandmother


Literally whenever when they posts for us they makes our day or night even better and they makes the best high quality contact ever keep it up with the awesome work

Actually it's because she has tiny wings on her back


Math really doesn't apply to magic huh....


She's so cute and this is so sad and unfair for her.


Hi, I was wondering if changelings are unicorns, pegasus our alicorns. Because they have wings and Horn's.


I like to think that she has a disability honestly, kinda like a wheelchair almost. But this is definitely an interesting theory too!

@Sky heartstar Yes! I'm don't remember what the disability is called but that's exactly what I think is wrong with Scootaloo!

I remember someone talking about having a disability where their leg muscles get tired quickly, and they felt like it was similar to what scootaloo seems to experience.


Hey! in the last video when scootaloo was a teacher ha still had tiny wings.


Personally, I think Pegasi magic is something that is slighty complicated, not completely magical, but not complete skill ether. So maybe Pegasi are MAGICLLY lighter, not physically. Of corse, they have some magic in them like earth ponies. But Pegasi wings dont get off the ground without magic, but it’s not the magic of flying, it’s the magic of their bodies with is much to difficult to drain. Tirek was able to get it with his power, but six artifacts can’t. Plus, flight is seen as part skill and confidence, but magic is still slightly involved to me now. Maybe Scootaloo doesn’t have the flying magic but other Pegasi magic. Dunno, but all that I know is that G5 writers should try to actually paint the picture on how magic works with evidence from the show.

Also, Why were those Pegasi able to fly after gaining magic. I mean, they would have to practice. Maybe now Pegasi magic is 100% magic unlike before, where it’s 50/50.


sawtooth, can you please make a video about what happened to Spike's mom?


Scoots is From Friendship is Magic, The other pony is From The New Show. So That is Proof That This Can't Be possible For "astro wings" To work. It's The Feathers on The wings To Make Them Fly almost waightlessly So Scoots May have phisical issues in her wings. She May Be almost Disabled


0:01 she probably has a disability, and as for bulk, I’m pretty sure that he has the same disability, he just figured out how to better manage it, it isn’t because she’s part unicorn, or anything, she just has a disability, and she doesn’t lack the magic, he wings lack the ability to grow


She also could’ve been born really early to the point where her wings have not fully developed yet so she can’t fly cuz her wings wasn’t fully developed yet


but even after magic faded, (in s8) rainbow dash and fluttershy could STILL FLY


I was gonna say Scootaloo looks likes I forgot her name in my little pony a new generation so this makes sense


If Pegasi bones were lighter than none of em could be even semi decent fighters, and RD is supposed to be one of the STRONGER Main 6 members...


I've thought of this since Season 9 when Scootaloo's parents was revealed to be an Earth Pony, and Pegasus.

 The main reasons why Scootaloo can't fly is because of her father Snap Shutter who's a Earth Pony. Scootaloo isn't a full on Pegasi. And unlike her mother, Mane All Good or other possible full blood Pegasi Scootaloo mostly have Earth Pony DNA!

 🧬🚫🪶 🐴

@Shady RK9 mabye it was a joke between writers now that I think about it but apparently her aunt was a pegasus and his grandpa was a unicorn or something like that

Nope, there are other ponies who aren't 100% pure bred, like the cake's filly (who prabably got some pegasi genes from another generation and has NO pegasi parent), who don't have problems with flight. And like Sawtooth said in this video, Scootaloo still has pegasus magic, since she can stand on clouds.

@Glassrose4 hmm... Good point. There's could be a sneaky dirty joke around that hinting that Mrs. Cake wasn't totally faithful to her husband! 😜

@Jelly Owl well there was an infendelity joke Mr. Cake did back when they was born. In fact Pumpkin Cake shouldn't even be able to do Unicorn magic herself!

And as for Flurry Heart. Candance is a Alicorn. But mostly Hasbro was like "Buy Our Toys!" 🤑

but the baby cake twins one is a pegasus and can fly


Well I think that sunny is scootaloo because their colour hair colour is all same and then she cutted her wings cuz she couldn't fly and then scoot became the mane character 😚


omg i thought she couldn't fly because (obviosuly) her wings are too small but i thought they would growing when she grows up 🤡


2:59 their voice sounds very different, am i the only one who noticed that?


I think it’s just the magic that makes pegasi able to fly with their observable wings and the wings allow you to stand on clouds, like rarity.

Rarity had a spell to help them stand on the clouds

@Creamy Cone They are on a mountain(Zephyr Heights)
 not clouds(CloudsDale)
Do you understand? if so reply

Also, why were Sunny and Izzy able to stand in Zephyr heights without wings?


“Because Pegasus don’t care what humans think is possible” I laughed at that a lot and I don’t know why 😂😂


The start of a video kind of reminded me of INK SAYING THAT BEES SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FLY-


I think the wings which scootaloo has are physical wings and when the magic is taken away from pegasi (idk the spelling sry) their astral wings were taken away as they had physical wings but just couldn't use them. Just my theory. Also I guess it's ur first vid on pegusi


The simplest answer to why Scootaloo cant fly is because she's depleting her mana 50 times faster than an average Pegasus :)


I agree that I look up to her so ima launch myself into a cloud with a slingshot


Idk why people can’t just accept that Scoot is physically disabled. There is nothing wrong with being physically disabled and in the series finale she’s clearly still a happy and healthy adult who just happens to be physically disabled.


Is Scootaloo unable to fly due to the fact that one of her parents is a Pegasus which only helps in standing on Cloudsdale but not take flight?

Pumpkin Pie with only distant relatives being pegasi: <b>(x) doubt</b>

Pumpkin Pie with only distant relatives being pegasi: *(x) doubt*


Could it be possible that scootaloo has physical wings but not astral wings? That would explain why bulk biceps (who has similar sized wings) would be able to fly if he does have these astral wings, so maybe scootaloo has the Pegasus magic but not the astral wings?  Just spitballing tho


maybe scoot's disability was only the first instance of ponies being born without magic, the event that eventually cascaded into the future we're seeing in Gen5


So that’s why one of my characters can’t fly but has wings I was wondering why I did that apparently I got inspiration from this video


If there’s magic in the wings it doesn’t explain pound cake can fly but scootaloo can’t


scootaloo can't fly cuz she's canonically disabled


yeah no. this just feels ableist to me. just let disabled characters be disabled, they don't need a reason or dramatic backstory for it.


EVER REALISED THAT SUNNY LOOKS LIKE SCOOTALOO?


The reason scoolatoo cannot fly is just because her wings are not strong enough. Magic plays an important part in their flight, but I also think their atmosphere is NOT made of 80% Nitrogen and 19% oxygen like our atmosphere is. I think that their atmosphere allows for lighter objects to take flight, like when maud threw that rock basically into space. The gravity is fine, and they all still fall but they can take WAY further falls than we can and still get right back up which means the air must be different, probably much denser which would make sense that since it is a much more dense place their bone structures are much greater which would account for these "ponies": being so small since smaller sizes would be more favorable in places like that, but would also mean that it takes less effort to fly in. I forget where i heard or read it from, but somewhere there is a planet that because of it's unusual atmosphere that you could actually around the air without a plane.


I thought it was because scootaloo was a mix breed of earth pony and Pegasus


4:28 lol
 But why was Scootaloo born with smol wings? Any ideas?

I like that the developers added that little thing; a flightless Pegasus

development issues are way too complicated for me to go into but feel free to research for yourself! it's just a thing that happens sometimes


Scootaloo can't fly as her wings are 1 cm if she is 19 cm


I mean i think I kind of saw that her wings were smaller than other pegasus though I might be wrong but that's what I THINK I was seeing in the show


I know ''rainbow rocks'' is kinda an old theme but while watching it for the 7th time I noticed rainbow dash say this during ''awesome as I wanna be'' ''First, you see me riding on a sonic boom'' how the heck does her human counterpart know about the sonic boom?! it didn't even happen in their world.........or did it?


Sweetie Belle has a hard time using her unicorn magic so that means that she has a disability no they’re young


Don’t make me crazy ponyyy. Cuz of her wings are small. I’m outta my mind

@Sawtooth Waves hehe yeah thats true . I just love when ı talking about every little detailll .  Even we had talked about ladybug . My celestia its being more confusing and fun in everyday

@Sawtooth Waves my celestia yeah he can fly ... Sawtooth  ur theories are mind-blowing but ı love them anyway .

@Sawtooth Waves his name is just Bulk, not Bulky

bulky biceps wings are small too but he can fly!!


The answer is in the internet, magic and she doesn’t have. Enough of it


I always agree with your theories because I'm bad at making theories ;-;


Maybe scootaloo has the wings of a Pegasus but the power of a earth pony and she can just like walk on clouds that's all she can do that a pegasus can do I could be wrong?


scootaloo is disabled and its nice to have some rep


"We've seen the bones of Rainbow Dash"

Me, having flashbacks to "Cupcakes":


She has small wings when she gets older she will fly


I think so slow can't fly because her mum give the magic to walk on clouds her dad being a pony made it so that instead of been able to fly here she has physical connection to the ground she is half Earth Pony half Pegasus ???🐎


I would like to point out that pony’s are deferent from horses because Pontus are more small with short legs and a smaller neck. ( their torsos are the same as horses. ) Also scootaloo’s wings are too small for her body but if you look closely other Pegasi they have wings the same size as their own torso but scootaloo dose not. It is most likely a deformity.


ngl when I first watched the G5 movie trailer, I might thought sunny was scootaloo-


I thought that her not being able to fly was a reference to disability


Scootaloo cant fly bc she had no cutie mark bc when there magic was gonna there cutie mark went way so they could not fly


I think the answer is obvious: Chickens can't fly. 🐔


But deep down, we all know she can't fly because no chicken can


A bee shouldn't be able to fly but they do. My guess her wings are stunted.


If the pegasus like bumblebees relay on a super particular lift mechanic, it could be possible that scootaloo wings are not able to be angled in such a way that they can harness thaf lift mechanic due to where they can be angled or how they can expand. In addition while we do see rainbow dashs bones it is possible that they are still lighter but just not to the extent theh are hollow. This would then be combined with the particular lift mechanic

Finally we do not know the air drag or atmosphere on equesteria originally during this time period and those could have been impacted by magic as well but would also impact flight heavily too


I think it’s more that scootaloo’s wing joints connecting to her body rub against her back to closely. Manly flies like Scootaloo yes but his wings may be far enough apart from his body to flutter along with training his wing muscles to enable Manly to move them at high speed, fast enough to get himself off the ground. Scoot’s wings could rub against her back then lock up if they get to close or cause her pain from the joint friction. The reason I doubt it’s the amount of magic she has, rather her body holding her back OR possibly having a different type of magic is because this time in equestria has magic galore, her Pegasus magic can be huge, she could even have both earth pony and Pegasus magic like how Sunny’s magic is that of an Alicorn but still she physically appears as an earth pony, but with her physical wings holding her back without any way to stimulate her magic, she can’t fly. Her body is physically incapable of flying and she might not have enough magic in her to fly. She could even have earth pony or unicorn magic she can’t tap into because her body won’t allow it. So in conclusion; Scoots is most likely physically disabled  but does have a good amount of Pegasus magic or she doesn’t have any Pegasus magic in the first place.


Maybe Scootaloo can’t fly because she is too young and still learning to fly.


‘’Talking about those wings’’ <b>laughs funny</b> I can’t stop laughing about that! XDDD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was dieing laughing

‘’Talking about those wings’’ *laughs funny* I can’t stop laughing about that! XDDD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was dieing laughing


i feel like sunny is scoodaloo's daughter beacuse they look so alike


“It’s wings are to small to get its fat little body off the ground”🤣🤣🤣


0:20 ARE YOU REALLY COPYING THE BEE MOVIE SCRIPT BUT SAYING PEGASUS INSTEAD OF BEE


I just settle it that she was born magically imbalanced. She has pegasus magic, but not up to snuff of other pegasi. Now, I'm not saying it's because her dad's an earth pony.  We've seen a unicorn mother who's daughter was a pegasus, and she had no problem flying herself. I think it was just that when she was born, she didn't get as much pegasus magic as her fellow pegasi, which limited her flying ability to only push her forward on her scooter, and yet still be able to walk on clouds and push them a distance with a kick. So yeah, I think it's because Scootaloo is magically handicapped in pegasus magic. It would have been nice if there was an episode where she meets another pony with a similar problem to herself, like a unicorn who was born with the handicap of not being able properly perform even the simplest magic spells, that display humorous results, like a spoon sprouting legs and dancing, but she let's Scootaloo know that she doesn't let her magical quirk get the better of her, and makes the most of what she can with her quirk. That's just me though, and since the show is over, that will never come to pass.

Never say never. The show ending just means we have the freedom to make fanfics and theories without any future episodes getting in the way of them being as continuity-accurate as possible. So, in a way, someone can still make your idea possible.


Here’s my theory: scootaloo cant  fly because the petty princess ponies of Pegasi said “screw you scootaloo” and boom now she can’t fly


What I think is scootaloo is too young to fly


Actually they do have hollow bones it just can’t show on x-rays and scootaloo was born with full bones aaaa.


on the count of Flight, how come Pinkie can fly?


Conspiracy theory:the reason why scootalo can't fly is because she is a real pegaSUS


shes a baby pony she is probably just a bit too young or hasnt learned<br>well thats just my opinion

shes a baby pony she is probably just a bit too young or hasnt learned
well thats just my opinion
