To help cut down all the EqG threads, maybe we should have an official discussion thread. It's a lot closer than season 4 at least.

The synopsis is "When a crown is stolen from the Crystal Empire, Twilight Sparkle pursues the thief into an alternate world where she transforms into a teenage girl who must survive her biggest challenge yet… high school. With help from her new friends who remind her of Ponyville’s Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy, she embarks upon a quest to find the crown and change the destiny of these two parallel worlds."

The film will start being shown in theaters starting on June 16th.

Season 3 is over and Season 4 is confirmed. Now we have months to wait for new pony episode.

In this in the meantime let's discuss what we want on Season 4. And please, could we keep this thread non-doomsayer/non-all-is-ruined-forever/non-I-hate-alicorn? If you have fears on where this series is going, sad for you. But instead of focusing on negative parts of fear, why not let us know what you want from Season 4.

What kind of Rarity episode you want?
Do you want more slice-of-life episodes or adventure episodes?
Episode without mane 6, CMC or Spike?
Rodeo episode?

If you have episode idea for Season 4, let us know it.

Heh yeah I edited in that they were the distributors at the last minute.

I suppose it does at least mean that somebody over there saw something in both series worth investing in distributing in.

They actually do a lot of anime, so it's not exactly an indicator of quality. Over 90% of the anime distributed in Australia is by them.

Though I do agree that Princess Tutu is pretty good.

It's been two years since I conducted my last pony popularity poll here on ponychan, but now the time has come to see how the tides have changed. With all the drama and new developments in the fandom I can only guess, that's why I need your help! Just follow these simple instructions and I promise to deliver the new results in the most epic fashion possible!

Simply rate the mane cast from 1 to 6, 1 being your most favorite and 6 being the least favorite.

Ex:
1. Applejack
2. Fluttershy
3. Rarity
4. Twilight Sparkle
5. Pinkie Pie
6. Rainbow Dash

That's because people came to terms with Pinkie's poor S3 performance, but Fluttershy and Applejack still haven't given them anything they want, so Pinkie was able to rise back up to her spot.

Headcanon for SAYS: The reason Spike was suddenly being incredibly dumb and clumsy was just to parasprite everyone. After all, he was raised by Celestia.

With this headcanon, I find the episode a lot less terribad.

Just before the episode, Spike received a letter from his parents, saying they abandoned him because they didn't want to bother raising a hatchling. He decides he's going to work through his depression instead of falling apart about it, so he starts looking for immense tasks to occupy his attention, as well as latching on to the most parental figure he knows (besides Twilight, who would realize what he was doing).

That or he ate some really bad oysters.

DHX calls you and hires you to come up Celestia's and Luna's backstory and important parts of Celestia's and Luna's history till events of Friendship is Magic. Only limitation is that every fact shown in show must be consistent with their backstory, but you don't have to include Lauren Faust ideas presented in Twitter or comics.

What kind of backstory would you give them?

Sorry this took some time, but here some possible problems I found.

As for staying in canon, if Starswirl did do all those things, shouldn't Spike said something about it in Hearth's Warming Eve? I get feeling in your text that the first part took place right before the Wendigo crisis, while in mane 6 plays it felt like ponies had live like than long time. Of course it is possible that this happened, but for me it just feel problematic. It might work better if instead of Starswirl, it was some other ancient unicorn or even alicorn wizard that caused it.

Also, I'm not sure is portal part necessary. Isn't there any way to replace it with something else? If the portal had so important role in pony history, it's seems weird that nopony have mention it at all.

Do you ever wonder if, without Celestia's guidance, Twilight might've become something like a villain?

The Mare in the Moon: Initial lack of meaningful social connections other than Spike; tendency to self-isolate.

Boast Busters: Extreme magical reserves, activated when in peril.

Winter Wrap Up: Lingering sense of isolation and frustration when forbidden to use her obvious talent.

Feeling Pinkie Keen: Forcefully analytical and inquisitive.

The Cutie Mark Chronicles: Potential for magic to spiral out of control under pressure.

I'm not so sure about becoming a villain, but she certainly stay a bitter person if not for Celestia and her friends, it's certainly possible that she could have become a villain type character.

What is wrong with Spike being a dog? I see no issue with it. Is being a dog a bad thing? Is there something demeaning in being a dog?

Fans have a tendancy, when humanizing everyone, to make Spike either into a monster boy, leave him as a dragon, or make him into a pet lizard. So it's nothing odd.

Spike isn't a pony so it makes sense he wouldn't be a human. I guess dog seemed like the best choice for a pet.

This isn't Earth the way we know it. Maybe talking dogs is common. Or maybe they'll get into some "wacky antics" where Spike has to be a normal dog around others.

twilight dimension hopping would be pretty cool...meeting multiple realities. if they didn't make the equestria girls movie about it, it's what i would've done - have some magic thief steal something (i guess an element of harmony), and twilight dimension hopping to retrieve it. spending a bit more time in the first reality and then towards the end become increasingly random (like a genderbend universe or one where they're all fish or something) - montage style. kinda like the futurama episode with the boxes.

Ok, i know what you're all thinking "Yup, someone moaning about the equestria girls spinoff" which i'm sure has been quite a big issue lately (Apologies, but i really don't follow the fandom much) But honestly, let me explain my background:

At best, i've been a casual brony, and not from the word "go" - i was introduced to MLP from pony remixes on youtube, which then progressed to Max's "Pony.mov's" and took off from there. All this taking place about a year or so ago.

Recently however, i've seen controversy over this twilight alicorn thing, which to me seemed a bit meh - i didn't quite get the big deal in all honesty...but then, then came Equestria girls.

Initially i heard of the name on youtube; literally, just that name. I actually thought it was a fan-made series and didn't think nothing else of it. I thought it was perhaps a fan made spin of the show of each episode so far. No big deal, good luck to them, i thought.

But then i heard it was an official thing, a redirection of the actual show and turning it from ponies to people. And i found this out tonight.

Now for me this is bad news. Because i think this is so cliched, and part of the entire appeal of the whole MLP thing was the fact that they were ponies, nothing else. I just don't see how this would be successful in the eyes of the fandom (which has people from many age groups) which lets be honest, has really made the show.

a lot of people will look at this and say "wow, it is incredible amazing, shame on you because you didnt liked equestria girls"

in my spectations, it is just going to plain almost all the clitches of a high school teen age cartoon, the clumsy girl being new, the popular bully girl who abuse of her status at the school, snips and snails could became her henchmen, the are going to prepare for the dance, they are going to have a montage about dressing and stuff, and having brad like the "boy of interest" (even if twilight will not act in love or say it, they will hint it alot, because that is the only reason of brad to exist, to be the classic pretty boy who is nice with the main girl), and at the end they will have a climax....

this is not going to affect how the main show work... what im not sure what it can do is the next, we dont know if brad or sunset shimmer will not appear on equestria, and appearing on later episodes. just to remind you this special isnt linked with the actual show..

the bad thing about it, is it will play all the same cards they always use, i mean, lets come up with a girls cartoon... make it about teen age girls at high school and fashion... the end.

but what ever, there was a text about how bronies stole the chance of having better media for girl cartoons... even im pretty sure the industry wasnt going to change with or with out the grown up mans looking at the show.............

Yep, it's a silly thing to do and a transparent attempt to sell humanoid dolls. Most people will probably give it a chance but generally people don't have high expectations.

On the bright side it's NOT within the series and it's a lot better than them shoehorning humans into Equestria.

I'd suggest not dwelling on it.
