They say it’s because her wings are too small, but they’re literally the same size as every other young Pegasus

[RitsuSakuma]

*“Why can’t Scootaloo fly???”*

*She’s disabled, simple as that!*

[Cailan_Mors]

I can't believe Sunny stole Scootaloo's ability to fly from all the way in the future. Truly she is Equestria's most heinous villain.

[theautisticrebel]

Expanding this theory, what if the reason why she didn't have the muscular control is because she suffered a TBI as an infant on one of her parent's adventures and when the doctors told her parents that she wouldn't be able to fly again, they sent her to live with her aunts and bought her a scooter to make up for it.

[JaggedBird]

I always thought for Scootaloo, it's related to baby fearhers; they're not sleek and long enough for flight, as both aspects make them aerodynamic. Just look at baby bird's - they're very fluffy and can't fly!! Its a physical growth disability

[ranavandebuurtpolitie]

Easy, Scootaloo can't fly cuz her wings move at the speed of a hummingbird's wings and she's basically "disabled"

[MUISonicFrontiers]

What really ticks me off (but I somehow think is funny) is the fact that Bulk Biceps's wings are basically the EXACT same size as Scootaloo's wings and he can fly. That makes me pissed off but also makes me laugh so hard 🤣

[loveyourself-Hannah]

idea: hybrid magic ponies.
a side effect of all three pony kinds living together is sometimes a pony is born with the physical features of one type of pony but then they just have a little bit of that types magic and a little bit of anothers.
Scootaloo: can walk on clouds like a pegasus, can't fly like an earth pony

[Ninjabeyzgacha]

She’s just disabled when she grew up here wigs were still small and rainbow dash could still fly when Cozy glow to magic from aquestria

[cathygrandstaff]

Probably the issue is that Scootaloo is missing the magic component of her wings, it would be a similar condition to the way Sunburst is a unicorn but can’t use magic aside from basic telekinesis.

[thexyzer]

Listen guys, Sawtooth was being werid to a minor so they privated all their videos

[Tracey-tn]

My daughter would have loved this channel, she passed awy 2 years ago at 27yrs, i know but she loved my little pony. 🙌🏻💚🇮🇪

[noah_gandhi]

And, have you seen this, even after she grew up, she has those tiny wings

[Pigleest]

Not the "to get its fat body of the ground" 😂

[MansoorAli-vcdh]

I wish scootaloo learnt to fly by rainbow dash

[catrinastars]

It could also be that she just doesn't have enough magic to fly as well.

[CottenVee]

"To all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a pegasus should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The pegasus, of course, flies anyway. Because pegasi don't care what humans think is impossible" "THE PEGASUS MOVIE"

[avaostenfeld]

Hmm. The G5 with 3 types magic really proves this. It's the magic that makes all of it possible.

Good job. You made a good theory that later showed to be really confirmed.

[helenlara]

What I was thinking, the squirrel and sunny star scout are related because her Astro didn’t show up in the show, but it’s cause they’re invisible, but she doesn’t have enough strength in the show to fly and maybe when she’s older than the same event will happen

[dmitrykhvostik]

G4: She's disabled
Me: But then why Bulk Biceps who has same wings size issues and much heavier can fly?
G4: ALRIGHT LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE-
G5: *_...Disabled in having no magic inside of her_*
Me: That... makes sense... and sad.
