Heroing is a Damned if you do, Damned if you don't Profession.
Then they'd probably be sued for not acting since they are qualified
Though sadly they probably can not stand aside and do nothing. That isn't who they are its a part of what makes them heroes
I always hate it when people get punished for doing the right thing, no matter how logical or justified it may be.
I don't think I'll rant on the unfairness of the situation. That wouldn't help at all, would it?
On one hand, that would be hilarious is Cloudy's wish came true. Another Bucky is all very funny. Sadly, as we know, it is not to be...
Non-Cannon ship story? Please?
And yeah, society may be thankful, but someone's gotta pay the bill, and hero or not, technically, they caused it.
and this is why heroes have secret identities in comics

Well, Sumac had to write an essay on how life is unfair. It's sort of a central theme by now.
Cloudy's thought process of Tarnish fathering a hoard of foals off multiple different mares than her daughter being something pleasant to fantasize about really shows some major cultural differences with earth ponies. I understand the idea of propogation of the family being a big deal to them but still.....wow.
Any time I read the word "flounced" it makes me think of this

True. There's really no good answer to a situation like this, is there?
Poor Cloudy, a harbor full of ships and almost no sails.
I have a suggestion for Cloudy.

Gah! I just had a brainflash! This situation is unfair, isn't it? And Tarnish hasn't quite matured to the pony he'll be later on, right? What if this ends up being motivation for that "bad thing with good intentions" he tries to do at some point? Oh, that's good.
Can't they just sue the people they were fighting for causing the trouble in turn, and get their money back?
7946075
More feasible would be to sue the insurance companies.
>hasn't heard of good Samaritan laws
Man equestria is pretty backwards
7946780 Well, this is the sort of thing that gets good Samaritan laws passed. They're fairly recent in the real world aren't they?

7946780 Sadly good Samaritan laws generally only cover injuring someone while rescuing them not collateral damage.
While you could sue the insurance companies they would likely sue Tarnished and company to recover their losses and most insurance companies tend to have rules that prohibit suing them forcing people to take things for arbitration.
Sadly suing the criminals involved is a lost cause for all involved first of all they are unlikely to pay, take it very nastily and then of course you'd have to catch them then there is the matter of getting them to pay up.. Tarnished and co are much better choices they are well known figures and can't go underground readily.
7946945
Correct.
7946938 Define fairly recent some of them go back 15years or so. As said they mostly protect rescuers from being sued over injuries incurred during rescue not property damage.
7946971 15 years is pretty recent, yes. For a law, anyway.

7945253 Still don't see why they're held responsible for cleaning up a mess. Who allowed the mess in the first place?
(By mess I mean the criminal activity, not the aftermath of combating it.)
7947098 Because simple logic someone has to be responsible if it wasn't an act of god. Once someone is responcible if no one else will the insurance companies will do everything possible to recover thier losses
7947403 And that someone is the criminal authorities!
Luckily not sharing the already cramped bed. Imagine how akward that would be.
I have to be honest, while I understand that Vinyl and Octavia are lesbians (or bi, in the case of Vinyl), the group relationship seems to be the sort where it would just make sense for them to get married to Tarnish and declare themselves a herd. I mean, we know how much they care for each other, especially seeing their relationship in other stories in the Weedverse, so is it really that big a step for them to take?
And this, kiddies, is why most modern superheroes have secret identities. Hard to stick someone with a bill when they don't exist in official documents.

Wardens would see right through most secret identities, unless powerful magic was used to prevent them from doing so.
Is this a monarchy or a republic? Any of the princesses should be able to label their actions in manehatten as "defense of the relm" and be done with it. And any lawsuit against them would be declared as traitorous to the crown.
7945690 Yes there is... It's called Good Samaritan Law, and the logical evolution due to super villains appearing.
You can't be sued if you are acting to save people. If you are preventing a crime it is the CRIMINAL that gets to be responsible.
It's just stupid that it works like that.
One of the best statements ever. Twilight sighed and added, “I abused my position of power.”
“That’s not abuse!” Octavia retorted. “That is the forced application of common sense!

It is a monarchy but seems to have some elements of other forms of government. If I'm not mistaken, even the Princesses can be held responsible for this or that by the citizens, even though there would be no citizens alive without them. In essence, Celestia and Luna only hold truly absolute power entirely because they are clever - despite essentially being the gods of Equestria, having birthed the ancestors of much of the populace, defended it against unbelievably potent threats for centuries or more, managing the celestial bodies that are themselves to foster life for the world, and working ceaselessly to create the society that ponies enjoy today. The Crown should be inviolate and absolute, and unable to be held accountable. But the citizens are so fat with entitlement and individual freedoms that they might riot over the inability to feel like they control their rulers who keep them alive, fed, and happy.
Yet protecting the heroes of Equestria from greedy, snobby fucks is considered an abuse of royal authority, which proves the Crown still answers to the people, including the absolutely selfish and undeserving ones. They never try to sue the ones responsible for the damage, just the ones saving them from it. How it always goes in this situations.

Some people, or ponies in this case, like having all the benefits and none of the serious commitment an actual marriage tends to force. Vynil and Octavia like having the option of not having to be there, even though, counterintuitive to what they feel, they will still stick around anyways. Getting married, or in the case, forming a herd, is a huge load of responsibilities getting dumped onto all involved.
At least, that's how I am interpreting it. I'm not Kudzu after all, so I don't know for sure.
