=== New Characters ===
 
== This entire theroy is true [http://ninjacookie19.deviantart.com/journal/OKAY-YOU-GUYS-GET-READY-FOR-THE-BEST-MLP-THEROY-301957479\ This entire theory]{{Dead link}} is true ==
For those of you who don't read it,It basically says:
* Tirek's spiritual force is the thing that created Nightmare moon, And Discord, by body surfing his way to power.
Line 28:
 
== A Changeling Mook. ==
Will be [[Heel Face Turn|reformed]], but the cast will be suspicious. Will appear for one episode. Part of his character will be figuring out how to {{[[Emotion Eater |feed}}]] without hurting anyone to be a [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire|Friendly Neighborhood Changeling.]] [[Apple Jack]] will not like him/her at first.
 
== If Humans are introduced, they'll be ''villains'' ==
Line 34:
** Alternatively, centaurs show up in place of humans.
** Humanity will turn out to be Expies of the Time Lords.
{{quote| Human: And on that day, the Humans decided to return. For Humanity! For the destruction of Equestria itself!}}
** Or, we get ''two'' factions of humans, one serving as the villains, and the other allying with the Equestrians against the villainous faction.
 
== Megatron ==
== The villains will be the same as the mane six, but without the Elements of Harmony. ==
* Twilight Sparkle: Her Counterpart will remain friendless, caught up in his or her studies. (Friendship)
Line 73:
 
== Season 3 will "reintroduce" a team of villains/rivals. ==
Sure, Nightmare Moon escaped from her imprisonment, but who helped her? Those four stars that we saw always within proximity of the moon. If Lauren Faust is allowed to start putting "magical girl" themes back into the show, this troper could totally imagine the four stars appearing as a team of four villainous ponies who want Luna to "regain her powers" as Nightmare Moon and once again shroud Equestria in eternal darkness, so that the stars can always be seen in the sky.
 
To go deeper, perhaps at the start of the season we'll see Luna failing to make friends, and become envious of Twilight when seeing her surrounded by the other ponies. In come the "star ponies", who offer her unconditional friendship with a false smile, and she desperately accepts. Thus, the kiddies get to learn about the various ways that "friends" can take advantage of you and play you for a foal. These events would also provide a wealth of plot potential for the creators to work with, both as individual episodes, and as an overarching, season-long storyline that Lauren Faust (and many fans) seem to desire more.
Line 92:
 
== Fluttershy will get her own radio station. ==
Well, she'll accidentally fall into poison oak, getting her [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E9/E09 Bridle Gossip|Flutterguy]] voice back. Other ponies will accidentally hear her voice and mention something about how pleasant it sounds. Meanwhile, Fluttershy will have financial troubles, forcing her to secretly take an announcing job at a radio station. This will culminate in her estranging her friends as she tries to hide her new career, and she will be found out, nearly ruining her reputation. A lesson will be learned about being somepony that you're not.
 
== [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] will appear as a pony in a future episode. ==
* He has already been asked by Jayson Thiessen. Maybe he'll appear as Pinkie Pie's uncle. He's got the frizzy hair, wacky sensibility, and love for accordions that Pinkie does, so why not?
** And his name will be Allegro, or something similar.
Line 101:
**** Hooves Like Jagger!
 
== Whatever character [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] is asked to play will have some relationship to Pinkie Pie. ==
Recently, in a Twitter feed, Wierd Al was asked to Voice Act for the show. He hasn't replied, but if and when he does, the character he plays will have some relationship with Pinkie Pie. Because, let's be honest, its too good of a chance for anyone to miss.
* Wait; Weird Al is going to be a horse? [[Back Atat the Barnyard|Why does that sound familiar?]]
 
== [[Rhino Rampage|Rhinos]] will appear on the show. ==
And they will be a [[Take That]] against [[Rated Mfor"M" for Manly]].
* [[Rule of Funny|And inexplicably]], they'll still have [[Real Men Wear Pink|cutie marks]].
 
Line 136:
Not any direct relation to Applejack, but a distant cousin or something. The gang prepares for the wedding, and the CMCs want to help out. On the day of the wedding, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom arrive on time, but Scootaloo oversleeps. This is especially bad, since she was supposed to pick up the wedding bands (bracelets because ponies don't have fingers) and she has not done that yet. In her mad dash to get to the wedding on time, she accidentally crashes into the wedding arch, sending it crashing down. Sweetie Belle manages to distract all the guests by performing for them and Apple Bloom repairs everything. everything works out, and by the end of the episode, Twilight tells the CMCs to take a look at their flanks…
 
== Season(s) 2 and/or 3 will feature a real [[Shout Out|shout-outOut]] to Bronies… ==
They'll be portrayed as [[Youkai|Oni]] (Ogre-like creatures from Japanese mythology). The Bro-Oni are either going to be brutish but ultimately friendly creatures who befriend the ponies or villainous and are minions to a [[Big Bad]].
** Would they eventually pull a [[Heel Face Turn]]?
 
== At some point the Mane cast will encounter a gigantic subterranean monster. ==
Line 152:
Her evil persona will be something along the lines of "Hellfire Sun". Princess Luna and the mane cast will join together and find a way to purge the evil from her as they did with Luna.
* Probably not. After all, kid's show.
** There are plenty of other names that could be used; "Solar Flare" is a popular one. As for how it would happen, the evil force probably wouldn't try and take over Celestia directly at first, as she's too powerful. Instead, it would erode Celestia over time by preying on her greatest weakness: Her fear of being unable to protect those that she loves, which had been previously realized on several occasions (Having to seal Luna away, being powerless against Discord during his return, and straight-up losing to Queen Chrysalis during the invasion). The evil force would bring this to a head by breaking open Tatarus and setting all its prisoners loose across Equestria, throwing the land into chaos. With Celestia in an emotionally weakened state, the force would then influence her into thinking that the [[Godzilla Threshold]] had been crossed, and that the [[Well -Intentioned Extremist|only way to "save" Equestria at that point]] would be to [[Kill It Withwith Fire|burn everything in it to a crisp with eternal day]].
{{quote| ''"I am Solar Flare! All will be purified by the cleansing fires of'' my ''sun!"''}}
 
 
Line 159:
 
== Season 3 will have an episode with the original FiM prototype characters appearing ==
Posey, Surprise, Firefly, Sparkler. Twilight's moms old friends come back, and the gang notices the [[Generation Xerox]] going on. Thumbs up if one of the old gang is related to one of the mane cast (besides Twilight and Twilight).
* For this to happen, Hasbro would have to somehow regain the copyrights to those characters. If they did that, it would actually be [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|kinda]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|awesome]].
** Considering how popular the series is, I wouldn't doubt it. Plus Twilight appeared as Twilight's mom, though she didn't speak and wasn't referred to by name; it's undeniably Twilight, and [[Word of God]] has confirmed it. They could just as easily make the others appear, though their fur tones would probably changed similar to how Twilight's mom went from pink to white.
Line 165:
 
== G1 Ponies will reappear. ==
Twilight's mom is more-or-less Twilight from G1 (I believe its [[Word of God]] too), and Moondancer was mentioned in the pilot. Aside from Sea-Ponies, I expect some more G1 Ponies.
 
== One of the Mane cast will get romantically involved with somepony, causing tension with the others. ==
Line 172:
== List of G1 character that would appear in Season 3. ==
* Tirek
** The most likely candidate for [[Big Bad]] of Season 3, if not [[Bigger Bad]]. Would be a level of villainy similar to the Lich from ''[[Adventure Time (Animation)|Adventure Time]]''.
*** --> '''Princess Celestia:''' "If you fail, he'll kill everypony...."
* The Crabnasties
** A single one would be introduced to the show as a grumpy civil servant who's main job is to exterminate the seemingly harmless and innocent posies. Fluttershy would feel sorry for one of them and took one home.....only for it to [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can|cause all kinds of trouble]], accumulating to the posy growing to kaiju sized and devouring all of Ponyvile. The Crabnasty will then [[Big Damn Hero|come to the rescue]] and kill off the posy with ease. Celestia might enter and explain the crabnasty's job and the lesson that seemingly disgusting and cruel jobs are sometimes necessary, and the lesson of judging a book by its cover is reinforced.
* The Grundles
** Race of goblin like creatures who have a separate society outside of Equestria in the middle of the desert far beyond Appleloosa. It would be parallel to pony society, with the ponies living in a land where its a peaceful society consisting of herbivores in a bright, colorful location where nature is practically micromanaged while the grundles themselves are more carnivorous, live underground to protect themselves from the harsh desert sun, have [[Proud Warrior Race|deep warrior traditions]], and surrounded by various shades of brown and grey as nature runs its course without any outside interference. Episodes here could teach lessons about adapting to and respecting other cultures and knowing that different societies have different viewpoints on life.
Line 181:
** Aquatic ponies mentioned before, but would be hippocampuses instead of actual sea horses. Also, the infamous SHOO BE DOO might or not be included. If so, it would be used as the sea ponies' main defense mechanism against predators, [[Suckiness Is Painful|who find it SO bad they immediately swim away in pain]] as a way of incorporating [[Take That|the opinion of modern audiences of that song]].
* Katrina
** Without the whole "kidnap ponies to serve as slave labor producing a [[Fantastic Drug]]" thing, though. Would likely be [[The Starscream]] to the [[Big Bad]], perhaps even double-crossing them and helping the Mane Six (though more in a [[Kick the Son of Aa Bitch]] or [[Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work]] sense than a real [[Heel Face Turn]].)
== List of Original Characters that would appear in Season 3. ==
* Harry the Bear
Line 212:
* Someone who's not a pony at all, but thinks the can still earn a cutie mark (A griffon, or perhaps another baby dragon. Maybe Little Strongheart will come back).
* An adult pony who after all these years still hasn't acquired a cutie mark.
** Bonus points if the adult pony is a stallion and the Professor Utonium to the trio's [[The Powerpuff Girls (Animation)|Powerpuff Girls]].
* Shining Armor and Cadance's future child
* A baby Changeling. He pulled a [[Heel Face Turn]] and ran away from Chrysalis after her defeat at the wedding. He joins the [[CM Cs]]CMCs because [[Being Evil Sucks]] and he wants to find another use for his powers.
 
== The mane cast will meet a [[Spear Counterpart]]. ==
Line 221:
* Theory is, they'll be steadily introduced one-by-one, having their own friendship issues as a lesser subplot and slowly evolving from background to minor to secondary characters.
* They'll represent the same Elements of Harmony as the Mane Cast, but each with a bittersweet, more realistic aspect:
** Magic: [[Comes Great Responsibility]], [[Comes Great Insanity]], [[Drunk Withwith Power]], [[Reality Warping Is Not a Toy]]
** Laughter: [[Stepford Smiler]], [[Think Happy Thoughts]], [[Knight in Sour Armor]] (type 1), [[Broken Ace]]
** Honesty: [[Brutal Honesty]], [[Gallows Humor]], [[I Did What I Had to Do]]
** Kindness: [[Cruel to Be Kind]], [[For Your Own Good]], [[Mercy Kill]]
** Loyalty: [[My Country, Right or Wrong]], [[Just Following Orders]], [[Conflicting Loyalty]], [[Honor Before Reason]]
** Generosity: [[Never Lend to Aa Friend]], [[Involuntary Charity Donation]], [["Gift of the Magi" Plot]]
 
== We will get a [[Villain Episode]]. ==
Line 232:
 
== The Mane Six will meet an old creature in the Everfree Forest with separation anxiety issues. ==
They'll befriend it, have fun with it for a bit, and then go back to Ponyville. Unfortunately, the creature will panic and imprison the ponies, so that they'll stay with it [[Yandere|forever and ever.]] It will be strongly hinted that the last friends the creature made [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|died of natural causes long ago.]] It'll be like that one episode of [[Chowder]], only less [[Played for Laughs]] and more [[Played for Drama]]. [[Tear Jerker|Bleak]], [[Nightmare Fuel|harrowing]] [[The Woobie|drama]].
* Will Zecora have any involvement?
* something like [[I CarlyiCarly|iPsycho]]?
 
== Season 3's main villain will be [[Affably Evil]] like Discord and most of the time the actual conflict between them and the Mane 6 will be [[Go -Karting Withwith Bowser]]. ==
Until the Season Finale where the villain will [[Take a Level In Badass]] and suddenly become the [[Knight of Cerebus]]...
* That would be an interesting angle; a villain who's genuinely likable would be a nice addition to the show.
 
== The girls will meet a possibly [[Evil Counterpart Race]] for each of the pony species ==
They will be descendants of the followers of Princess Luna/Nightmare Moon pre-banishment. After her exile they went into hiding, or fled to another land/world. If they are really an [[Evil Counterpart Race]] , they might attempt to somehow re-transform Luna into NMM, or work for the new villains. But if they are just [[Dark Is Not Evil|more oriented to the moon and darkness, not necessarily evil]], they may assist the mane cast, maybe even with a new member joining the cast's rank, functioning as a G-rated [[Anti -Hero]], who could function as a [[Shadow Archetype]] to one of the cast.
* Or maybe followers of Discord? Maybe not everypony's been brainwashed by him. For all we know, some probably followed him out of their own will.
 
Line 247:
Most of the main characters are G3 ponies with new personalities or Expies of G1 ponies, so it makes sense they might bring back more G3 ponies with new personalities.
* Minty will be introduced as an "[[Mythology Gag|old friend]]" of Pinkie Pie's (surely [[Fourth Wall Observer|Pinkie]] is aware of the best friends her previous incarnation had). She may or may not be related to Twist, and she'll be [[Totally Radical|totally cool]].
** And obsessed with socks-- cansocks—can't forget that.
 
== The toyline pony 'Lily Blossom' will appear in season three. ==
Line 264:
They're the only two ponies of the G3 Core Seven who haven't yet appeared in ''Friendship is Magic''.
 
== The Mane Cast's [[Psycho Rangers]]/[[Evil Counterpart|Evil Counterparts]]s will represent the [[Seven Deadly Sins]]. ==
* [[The Sixth Ranger|Spike's]] counterpart is Lust like he had over Rarity.
* Pinkie Pie's counterpart is Gluttony on account she ate all those sweets.
Line 270:
* Applejack's counterpart is Envy for her jealously to anyone who's better than her.
* Rainbow Dash's counterpart is Sloth of her slacking off.
* Fluttershy's counterpart is Wrath of her [[Beware of the Nice Ones|snapping.]]
* Twilight Sparkle's counterpart is Pride over her being Celestia's top pupil.
** Rarity and Applejack could switch sins. Rarity got very envious of Fluttershy's fame, while Applejack is the one who sings about making money.
*** Applejack sings about making money for her family. Earlier she mentioned using it to get a new barn and plow and replace Granny Smith's hip. So Greed still fits Rarity better.
**** As the guy who created this WMG, Rarity can be Prideful herself, and Twilight can be Wrathful since she evolves to [[Pokémon|Rapidash.]]
 
== There will be an episode where one of the ponies gets a boyfriend. ==
And the others will do everything in their power to break up the relationship, since they're worried it might break up their friendship. (And since their friendship powers the Elements of Harmony needed to fight off serious threats to Equestria, this is a little less selfish then it sounds.) The boyfriend will most likely [[Status Quo Is God|leave at the end of the episode.]]
* Maybe, though if he leaves at the end it could present a [[Family -Unfriendly Aesop]] if it isn't handled well.
** It could just be revealed that their relationship was purely platonic and the other ponies were wearing [[Shipping Goggles]]. Or they decided that their relationship wasn't going to work out and became [[Just Friends]] offscreen.
 
== There will be an episode where the Mane Cast find a hippocampus washed up on a beach. ==
Line 285:
 
== The next villain after Discord... ==
There are three basic types of villains. Type one is a dark spirit that cannot have its own form, but must take the form of others (Nightmare Moon applies). Type two is a physical being who represents a form of evil, like Discord representing chaos. The third type is a mix; a physical being that is not truly human/pony/whatever. They represent all forms of evil and can have their own form. However, they are composed completely of shadow and are usually a [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|dark counterpart.]] My guess is a group of dark versions of the mane cast will appear and attempt to destroy the Elements of Harmony.
 
Opinions are appreciated.
Line 296:
* Wielders of the "Elements of Discord"
* The next villain will not be a huge, supernatural threat, but an Earth Pony manipulating their way to ''[[From Nobody to Nightmare|becoming]]'' a huge, supernatural threat. [[Light Is Not Good|They would also be chalk-white and behave in a generally polite, affable manner]].
** This Troper had a similar idea, but instead of an Earth Pony, he's a unicorn with the ability to [[Mega Manning|drain any creature's special powers for his own use]], including the cockatrice's ability to [[Taken for Granite|turn creatures into stone]]. He'll use that power to break the main cast by {{spoiler|abducting the CMC and Spike and turning them into stone as well as take away their special abilities}}. [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Plus]], he'll be voiced by [[Steve Blum]].
* A [[Mad Scientist]] trying to implement a Dieselpunk-esque society based around machines and efficiency. Possibly named Nicolta Tesla.
* The Smooze. It was the only Generation 1 villain that stood up to the Rainbow of Light, so maybe it'll be similarly invincible to the Elements of Harmony.
* A return of the changelings. (Either as the new villains or the servants of a [[Big Bad]] (Discord?)
* Will be voiced by [[Brad Swaile]].
** Think about it. The original My Little Pony was the first show Brad ever worked on. Plus, all generations including G4 feature several voice actors from the English ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'' cast hence being dubbed by the same company (i.e. [[The Ocean Group]]). We already have [[Tabitha St. Germain|Rarity as Naomi]], [[Cathy Weseluck (Creator)|Spike as Near]], [[Shannon Chan Kent|singing Pinkie Pie as Misa]], [[Trevor Devall|Prince Blueblood as Aizawa]] and [[Samuel Vincent|Soarin as Sidoh and Gevanni]]. So why not put a cap on this [[Hey, ItsIt's That Voice!|voice actor connection]] by getting Light Yagami himself on the show?
* [[Face Heel Turn|Twilight Sparkle herself]]
 
Line 324:
 
== One of the new villains will be an old minion of Nightmare Moon. ==
Perhaps a [[Golem]] or other mechanical creature, [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can|lying dormant for a thousand years but suddenly awakened.]] Luna will probably feel some guilt about the harm that comes to other ponies (Bonus points if she actually created the villain in the first place if it is artificial or magical in nature) due to this villain's rampage. The villain may try to return Luna to her Nightmare Moon form.
 
== The next [[Big Bad|villain]] will force be [[Godzilla Threshold|Discord Threshold]] level. ==
Possibly the "order villain" suggested elsewhere but the situation will become so bleak they have to release Discord.
* Bonus points if Discord gives Celestia a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] about her ''needing'' him to spread chaos.
 
== Some part of "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 /E13 HearthsHearth's Warming Eve|Hearth's Warming Eve]]" will foreshadow a coming villain. ==
* Shortly after [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E2/E02 The Return of Harmony Part 2|Return of Harmony, part 2]] aired Jayson mentioned another villain. At some point in this episode, there will be a hint of the villain's nature, perhaps they will somehow have been involved in the blizzard.
** This has some merit to it. {{spoiler|The Windigos}} are hinted in the episode to still be around. All they need is a little interspecies animosity…
** Jayson was probably talking about Chrysalis.
 
== Medusa will appear somewhere in the series. ==
Either as a [[Monster of the Week]], a monster recalled in another story about Equestria's past, referenced somewhere, or even a [[Big Bad]]. Why?
#1: [[Rule of Cool|It'd be awesome.]]
#2: Pegasus (so maybe, the first Pegasi) came from Medusa, and that could be referenced in this series.
Line 348:
== We’ll see more changelings in the future ==
Certainly their queen will try to take over the kingdom again, but we might meet one of the ''rogue'' Changelings. This little one in particular will still feed off of love, but he finds that if he gives a small amount of love to others, he gets a lot back in return, more than enough to sustain him. He is opposed to his species policy of forcibly extracting love, and only uses his shapeshifting powers to get ponies to trust him more. He will come across either Fluttershy or Pinkie Pie, and they will be the first to accept him as a changeling.
* And as a shout-out, he will be voiced by [[Greg Cipes]].
* That could work as the "forgiveness episode" theorized elsewhere... also, [[The Reveal]] of the changeling's true form would also be quite the [[Tear Jerker]] / [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]:
** "You...still love me? But what I did...what I ''am..''"
 
== Fluttershy will turn out to have an older brother when we finally see her family. ==
In keeping with an emerging pattern of the quieter member of each pair in the Mane Six having an older sibling (Twilight has Shining Armor while Rarity is the oldest child in her family, Applejack has Big Macintosh while Pinkie Pie's sisters are the same age as her), when we see Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash's families, Rainbow Dash will be an only child (although she might have [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents]] with a super-girly mom in a shout-out to her previous incarnation), but Fluttershy will have an older brother with the same large and strong-looking [[Non -Standard Character Design]] as Shining Armor and Big Mac. He'll either be a quiet, mellow [[Gentle Giant]] that nonetheless can't share Fluttershy's hobbies because [[Animals Hate Him]] or a flashy [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]] that intimidates Fluttershy but is still very fond of her.
 
== [[Brad Swaile]] will voice one or more character(s) in Season 3. ==
Think about it. The original My Little Pony was the first show Brad ever worked on. Plus, all generations including G4 feature several voice actors from the English ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'' cast hence being dubbed by the same company (i.e. [[The Ocean Group]]). We already have [[Tabitha St. Germain|Rarity as Naomi]], [[Cathy Weseluck (Creator)|Spike as Near]], [[Shannon Chan Kent|singing Pinkie Pie as Misa]], [[Trevor Devall|Prince Blueblood as Aizawa]] and [[Samuel Vincent|Soarin as Sidoh and Gevanni]]. So why not put a cap on this [[Hey, ItsIt's That Voice!|voice actor connection]] by getting Light Yagami himself on the show?
* Bonus points if he gets to voice a villain character!
** Or, even better, the [[Bigger Bad|Ultimate Big Bad]]!
** Complete with his famous Light Yagami [[Evil Laugh]]!
*** [[Death Note (Manga)|"That's right...]][[Actor Allusion|I am (insert villain name here)."]]

All of the other G4 toy stallions, molded and otherwise, have been characters from the show: Big Macintosh, [[All There in Thethe Script|Chance-a-lot]] (Caramel), [[All There in Thethe Script|Goldengrape]], [[All There in Thethe Script|Meadow Song]], [[All There in Thethe Script|Mosely]] Orange, [[All There in Thethe Script|Noteworthy]], [[All There in Thethe Script|Royal Riff]], Shining Armor, and [[All There in Thethe Script|Twilight Sky]]. On the other hand, we don't know if this green guy is actually going to be released...
* [http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,296428.0.html We do know now, and we also know his name now: Emerald Ray.]
 
 
=== Possible Plots ===
 
== The Aesop in the final episode (assuming the series is not canceled mid season) will be about learning to part ways with friends. ==
Line 377:
*** My bad. My point still stands, however. This is [[My Little Pony]] we're talking about. It's pretty likely that they'd end on a high note.
* No, the series finale will be the previous season finale because some executive [[Jerkass]] will decide to pull the plug without warning. Bitter? Me?
** How'd the ''[[Sym -Bionic Titan]]'' fans get in here?
*** Pfft, kids these days. I came by my opinion through ''[[Firefly]]'' and ''[[Babylon 5]]'', thank you very much.
*** Hey, we needed ''something'' to watch.
Line 386:
* The series finale may be about the friends getting separated... but still end with a high note with Twilight attempting to reunite them. More specifically, she would try to reunite them displaying each of the elements of harmony along the way to drive the point home... and fail, accepting the aesop. However, after some time passes, she realizes she doesn't like being a twilight-god-princess as much as she wants her friends back, and breaks the previous aesop by giving it a second try. Thus deconstructing friendship and then reconstructing it.
* While I'm sure that Aesop will be in an episode, I doubt it will happen like that, especially for a last episode. Personally, I think a new character will join the cast for a little while (just enough time for her to grow on us), and then will have to leave for some reason or another, and the Aesop will be used then. Mostly because I doubt the mane cast will ever have to say goodbye for good to each other, not in a show like this.
* If it [https://web.archive.org/web/20131010080217/https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1zZZnizNM_2hh_UQ22gmk2VChBrlFCmyLevNuCbKbSaQ resembles this fanfic] in any way, this normally collected troper will spending the rest of the day bawwwing his eyes out.
* This is a very interesting idea, and one that would add a great deal of extra depth to an already interesting show. If it appears in the middle of a season, it might be a tremendous [[Growing the Beard]] or [[Cerebus Syndrome]] moment for the show. And if it happens as the original poster guesses in a [[Grand Finale]] of sorts, I will officially declare that episode/group of episodes "My Little Pony's Toy Story 3"
** Indeed. Also, this could serve as a somewhat mild variation of [[Torch the Franchise Andand Run]], as, if the characters end up accepting the parting of ways, it could potentially disable any [[Spiritual Successor|third party]] [[Revival]] of the series (at least involving the characters). If anything, it would most likely be a [[Reunion Show]] of some sort. In essence, this would be an excellent episode to finish off the series.
 
== Applejack will be revealed to have been replaced by a Changeling ==
Why else would she make her "Liarjack" face at the end of A Canterlot Wedding? Also explains why Applejack randomly loses her hat in some scenes in the season 2 finale scuffle.
Applejack will turn out to have been lost in {{spoiler|the big clone fight between the Mane Six and the Changelings}} and a changeling follows the rest into Ponyville. Over time, the changeling will grow genuinely fond of the rest of the cast, and beg for forgiveness once the real Applejack is found.
* Alternatively, Applejack encounters an injured Changeling disguised as her near Ponyville (crash-landed after the wedding?), and she has to choose between forgiving the Changeling and helping them (which would likely entail lying to her friends), or just ratting the Changeling out to Ponyville (and risk causing a [[Witch Hunt|Changeling Hunt]] to break out). The episode would end with AJ [[Take a Third Option|taking a third option]] of some kind.
* Applejack would probably let the Changeling masquerade as her so she could go into town unnoticed. She would be unmasked by Applebloom, and the third option would be to try to honestly tell Ponyville to accept their new member
 
Line 413:
== Prince Blueblood will learn a lesson in humility. ==
After he is banished from Canterlot for insulting Celestia's students.
* Hmmm…sounds like the plot of a [[The Princess and Thethe Frog|certain Disney film]]. Well, if Disney has taught us anything, it's that the [[The EmperorsEmperor's New Groove (Disney)|only way]] to teach a [[Beauty and The Beast|spoiled prince]] to mend his ways is via [[Baleful Polymorph]]. If Blueblood is somehow turned into a creature, either Pinkie or Fluttershy will try to make a pet of him.
 
== Rarity opens up a franchise in Canterlot. ==
Line 422:
* Due to Fan demand, Trixie's return will be kinda unavoidable.
 
Even though they won't be in true opposition to each other (both will be trying to save friendships and ponies with what they learn) the [[Evil Counterpart|mirroring aspect]] will be complete enough that while Twilight is focused on what makes friendships start and grow, Trixie will be finding out what makes them fail and die. Also, while Twilight has Spike as a [[Non -Human Sidekick|Non-Pony Sidekick]], Trixie will wind up with Snips & Snails as her [[Minion Withwith an F In Evil|assistants]].
 
At least a fifth to a fourth of the show's Aesop endings will be submitted by Trixie to Luna, and will provide a wrap-up of what NOT to do.
 
* Alternatively, she becomes a recurring antagonist, and somehow gets [[Minion Withwith an F In Evil|Snips and Snails]] [[Terrible Trio|as as her henchmen,]] basically making them [[Team Rocket]] for the mane cast.
 
== Season 3 will have an episode in which: ==
Celestia will leave Twilight in temporary charge (while having the important stuff already done, just to be sure) of Equestria, while she and Luna take a spa day or something. As the rest of the cast get toured around the capital by Spike, in which [[Hilarity Ensues|hilarity ensues]]. [[The Chains of Commanding|Twilight will become obsessed with the littlest things.]] Add in Pinkie causing riots or something. At the end, Celestia will return, and teach Twilight that leaders need to place trust in their followers, that not everything needs to be done yourself.
* Well, if [[Merchandise -Driven|history repeats itself,]] then [http://www.hasbro.com/mylittlepony/en_US/shop/details.cfm?guid=2377BFCC-5056-900B-1096-DDB33CEF1B7F this] toy could be a forebearer of things yet to be.
 
== Musical Episode! ==
Even more than usual, I mean. [["Weird Al" Yankovic|Weird Al]] could make a [[Crowning Music of Awesome|Pony Polka!]]
* Alternatively, the Mane Six lose all their voices due to the musical villain (possibly played by "Weird Al") so the plot will be mostly served [[A Day in Thethe Limelight|by the background ponies]] like Octavia and DJ Pon-3.
 
== There will be an episode where Dash finally gets an invite to join the Wonderbolts... ==
... But ends up turning it down, because she finds out that if she takes it she'll rarely ever get to see her friends again. The aesop of the episode would be something like sometimes friends are more important than one's own desires.
* Alternatively, it could be somethinng like she finally gets an invite to join them, but something puts her friends in danger (Possibly the antagonist of season 3). She would then be forced between her friends or joining the Wonderbolts, to which she'll get a [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment when she chooses her friends.
** You really think Discord would simply do something like that? Assuming he would come back.
Line 443:
 
== Alternatively, there will be an episode involving RD and Wonderbolts but she will just hang with them or be a temporary member. ==
And episode will be about or conclusion from it that RD will abandon for now or forever of her dream to be Wonderbolt and stick with rest of main six as what she realizes that it is her true calling.
* Alternatively-alternatively (Wonderbolt episode ideas are fun!), one of the Wonderbolts gets injured before an upcoming race with a rival team and Spitfire suggests having Rainbow Dash (she did win the Best Young Flyer's competition after all) fill in. As it turns out, the rival team is the best flying team of griffons, with none other than Gilda (who's still bitter about the events of "Griffon the Brush Off") among their ranks. At some point in the episode, for whatever reason, Gilda's life will be in danger and Dash will have to choose between saving Gilda or winning the race for the Wonderbolts, and of course chooses Gilda. They reconcile, Spitfire tells Dash she made the right choice even though the Wonderbolts lost the race, an Aesop is given about loyalty to friends, you get the idea.
* Or Dash is given the chance to perform a routine with them, triggering a major "ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh" attack. While she doesn't become a permanent mamber, she a least gets to keep the costume.
Line 449:
== Or an episode where Rainbow Dash learns of all the mundane things the Wonderbolts do, and she loses interest in the group. ==
 
== Season 3 will feature an episode in which: ==
A magical mishap of some sort causes the mane cast to [[Fountain of Youth|turn into adorable babies]], [[Hilarity Ensues|and the responsibility of taking care of them will fall to the CMC]]. Zecora may get some time to shine as well, as she would most likely be the first one that Apple Bloom would think of to ask for help; this would also give the writers an excuse to have the CMC become [[Badly -Battered Babysitter|Badly Battered Babysitters]] as they try to keep six rambunctious babies from getting hurt in the Everfree Forest and learn a lesson about responsibility.
 
== One episode will feature [[Memetic Mutation|double rainbow all the all the way across the sky]]. ==
What will it mean? It might even be a triple rainbow!
* Well, they already had [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E1/E01 The Return of Harmony Part 1|chocolate rain]]...
 
== There will be [[Freaky Friday Flip|The Obligatory Body Swap Episode]]. ==
Line 480:
** Luna, probably for some coup d'etat.
* A six-way swap between the whole mane cast.
* Perhaps an explaination could be Twilight temporally having a mess up with her magic and losing control of it for a short time.
* Also, given the now obvious [[Darker and Edgier]] tone the show has taken, I wouldn't be surprized if there was a [[The Mind Is a Plaything of Thethe Body]] aspect to it, gradually picking up each others mannerisms, abilities, memories and the like, gradually start forgeting their own, and with each of the ponies getting used to their new host bodies, causing them to find a way to turn back before it was too late. I would think the change would be most apperant in whoever gets stuck as Rainbow Dash if, for no other reason, the new-found freedom that comes with her body. And, also, it's clear that the show does ''not'' assume that [[Viewers Areare Morons]]. It never has. So I don't know about the [[Voices Are Mental]] thing. Besides, it'd be hysterical for one pony's vocal mannerisms to come from the voice of another.
** Maybe they ''never'' get back into their old bodies, but just adapt to their new bodies so well over time that it effectively restores status quo.
*** Nah. That'd render the whole episode useless. Besides, we'd ''never'' hear the end of it.
Line 487:
 
== Season 3 will introduce Hippogriffs, the port town of Stalliongrad and Airships ==
The Hippogriffs will also come in Unicorn (though this time it's double Horned), Pegasus, and Earth varieties, and be highly skilled with tools and vehicles given their Pony Heritage, Claws by Griffin heritage, and their never-ending need to find new and better ways to make dinner with little or no effort on their part. They live in Stalliongrad, a massive seaport-airport hybrid where ships sail the seas and the skies.
* It would also reek heavily of communist bloc cities, and the Aesop is finding joy in the darkest of times.
 
Line 504:
 
== There will be an episode confronting Spike's place in the cast ==
One of the big debates around Spike (even on this very wiki) is his place in the show. Is he part of the main cast or is he a secondary character? Is he his own person or is he more like Twilight's pet? There's evidence for each point in the show, and an episode (although since he's already had his [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]] episode for this season it may not be until season 3) will confront these issues and change the character dynamic a bit.
 
== Rainbow Dash will go back in time and perform a Sonic Rainboom thereby creating the original myth surrounding the phenomenon. ==
Line 530:
 
== Pinkie Pie will have an episode where the Aesop will be about [[Poor Communication Kills]] ==
Because after the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 /E10 Swarm of the Century|paraspite ep]], it would be odd. Might show up in season 3 instead.
 
== Twilight Sparkle will be turned into a [[Our Vampires Are Different|Vampony]] ==
But she'll find that [[Your Vampires Suck|undeath is overrated]] as she can't be around her friends without hungering for their blood (or [[Life Energy]] since it's a kid's show), can't see her beloved mentor's sun again, and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|doesn't cast a reflection]]. So she'll find a cure for it by the end of the episode.
 
== Derpy Hooves is going to have a [[Face Heel Turn]]. ==
Line 559:
 
== Diamond Tiara will temporarily lose her cutie mark. ==
She has to spend a whole week without it, and comes to respect the [[CM Cs]]CMCs a little more. She still remains friends with them once she gets her cutie mark back (but she keeps it a secret).
 
== There will be an episode where Rainbow Dash puts on a member of the Wonderbolts uniform while they aren't looking… ==
Line 567:
By either misunderstanding, possession, or... Really, who knows what else?
* And it will be called "A Bird In The Hoof".
** Another way this could happen is the mane cast taking a trip to the pony equivalent of Hollywood, and starring in a movie where Celestia is the villain, with all her terrible deeds in [[Fanon]] played for laughs. (Banishing ponies to the moon on a whim? There's an '''entire city''' up there, with strong implications that an invasion/rebellion is imminent. Constantly pranking her subjects? Everypony's used to it, to the point that Celestia ''not pranking'' them is cause for concern.) At the end of the episode is a [[Twist Ending]]: ''Celestia herself'' [[Self -Deprecation|was the director]]!
 
== There will be an episode where Spike feels embarrassed about only hanging out with girls. ==
* Some other boys (dragon, pony, or otherwise) will tease Spike about his "girly" interests, probably after he's just helped Rarity with something particularly girly, and he'll spend the episode trying to prove that he's "manly." At the end, he will learn [[An Aesop]] (possibly from [[Tomboy|Rainbow Dash]]) about how your ''real'' friends don't care if you're a boy who likes girly things or a girl who likes boyish things, and will accept you for who you are. The entire episode will be filled to the brim with nods to the [[Periphery Demographic|bronies]] who aren't afraid to admit to enjoying "a show for little girls."
 
== The infamious [[Cupcakes (Fanfic)|Cupcakes]] fic will become an [[Ascended Meme]]... ==
...In the form of an in-universe scary movie being filmed in Ponyvile. Pinkie Pie will be cast as the villain and Rainbow Dash as a victim. Naturally it'll be toned down, but refrences will be made while they're reading the script that only people who are aware of the fic will realize. Possibly as a [[Halloween Episode|Nightmare Night Episode]].
* Alternatively, it's a ghost story written by Spike after the events of [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 /E25 Party of One|Party Of One]].
* Or, if Krastos the Glue Maker actually shows up, he/she will be dressed similar to the outfit used in the fic.
 
Line 587:
 
Possible stories will reference:
* [[Cupcakes (Fanfic)|Cupcakes]]: See past theories.
* The [[Luna Game (Video Game)|Luna Games]]s: Though with less jump scares and a little more [[Nightmare Fuel|legitimate scares]].
* [[Story of the Blanks (Video Game)|Story of the Blanks]]: Again, see past theories.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL5-8R6Kklg Eppaljeck]: A long shot, but it would be mostly in a format like "there's something odd about Applejack."
* [[Rainbow Factory (Fanfic)|Rainbow Factory]]
** And the episode will be a deconstruction of [[Conspiracy Theories]].
 
== There will be a serious "[[Find the Cure]]" episode. ==
One of the group will get deathly sick and half of them will have to locate a cure, while the others stay behind to take care of her. Possibly Twilight, since her teleportation power could resolve the plot too fast. This seems to be a fairly popular fanfic plot for the series (and this is a series thus far prone to [[Ascended Meme|Ascended Memes]]s anyway) for the simple fact it'd certainly be a dramatic way to reinforce the friendship theme of the series over all. What better way to show the friendship of the characters than one of them being in serious danger and the others come to their aid?
* And if you like irony, they will succeed, only to find that the hospital pulled the plug on the one. This could lead the rest to go so far as to {{spoiler|''burn the hospital''}}.
 
Line 618:
 
== The Mane Six will have to fight The Smooze. ==
Except they won't win. Because nothing can stop The Smooze.<ref>For those not in the know, The Smooze is a G1 villain.</ref>.
 
== There will be a episode centered in the mane six's pets. ==
Line 632:
Among them being:
* Twilight Sparkle: Either losing her friends or [[Power Incontinence|absolutely losing control of her powers]]. Or possibly both.
** If hers is a dream, she'll lose her magic BECAUSE she lost her friends over something silly. We already know Twilight freaks over this sort of thing. If not, she'll lose her magic because of some illness unicorns can contract, where their magic gets backed up or doesn't work right for 24 hours. This will happen on a day where her friends have all requested use of her magical ability, and she will have to try and look like she's doing magic when she can't. This will make her friends mad because she'll mess it all up (since Twilight failed so badly during [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 /E11 Winter Wrap Up|Winter Wrap-Up]]), and they'll think she did it on purpose. All will be fixed when Twilight just breaks down and tells them, OR Rarity figures it out because she once had the same problem, or Sweetie Belle just recovered from it.
** It's been implied in lots of episodes that Twilight's real worst fear is disappointing Princess Celestia, so it could be that instead.
* Rainbow Dash: Not being able to live up to the loyalty to her friends or [[Sadistic Choice|actually being forced to choose between them]] (much like with Discord, though with less brainwashing).
** In which case she would break the nightmare by taking the both [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|awesome]] and [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|heartwarming]] [[Take a Third Option|Third Option]]. A [[Heroic Sacrifice]].
** Alternately, we'll see her finally get to hang with the Wonderbolts as her prize from "Sonic Rainboom", since that never happened, and she'll try to show off and fail, and things will go south from there.
* Pinkie Pie: [[Go Mad From the Isolation|Being forever alone with no one to laugh with.]]
Line 645:
And it will be filled with [[Continuity Porn]].
 
== There will be an episode parodying [[Sym -Bionic Titan]]. ==
Tara Strong's former castmates from that series will even make cameos voicing Pony versions of Lance and Newton/Octus.
 
Line 655:
== One of the future episodes will be a [[Mystery Science Theater 3000]] tribute episode. ==
All right, hear me out. Here's how I think it would go down:
Our six heroes, split into two teams of three, would be playing a game of truth or dare. In the dair pile would be a Bad Apple, a dare so bad, nopony wants it. So naturally, one team draws the Bad Apple card. The dare: To go to the Movie Theater (that no one had bothered to mention til now for some reason) and go see the movie everyone's staying away from: Zombie Ponies from Outer Space.
The trio then goes out to the Movie Theater (or Pony-Plex, as it'd be called) and find that nopony is there, they are the only three ponies in the theater for that screening (which, incidentally, is the only reason they're able to get away with talking throughout the movie.) The majority of the rest of the episode would consist of said riffing with the trio gradually finding that, although the film's bad, they're still having a good time regardless. The episode's moral would be something akin to the moral of the show on which the episode's based (and, no, I don't mean [[MST3K Mantra|that one.]]): With a little help from your friends, you can get through just about anything, espcially bad movies.
I know, it's a work in progress.
Of course, we'd have to make sure that the target audience is not rubbed the wrong way and that talking throughout the motion picture is okay (which it ain't), but I still think it's a half-decent idea. What about you?
 
== There will be an episode in which Snips & Snails try to act like [[Big Brother Mentor|Big Brother Mentors]]s to Pipsqueak. ==
[[Selective Obliviousness|Unfortunately]], Pipsqueak's complaints about being as old as they are will fall on deaf ears.
 
Line 666:
Her grandchildren are all gathered together some dark and stormy night, and Granny's in bed, getting sicker by the minute. Zecora, Fluttershy, Nurse Redheart, and other Doctor ponies are unable to fix her, so they leave. The Grandchildren realize that this could be it. Applejack refuses to believe that Granny can't be cured and vows to protect her from "eternal sleep". Suddenly, there is a knock at the door. A little black unicorn filly wearing a raincoat wants to be let in from the rain. They let her in, and Applejack goes on and on about how she'll protect Granny Smith from "Eternal Sleep". Then they ask the unicorn what her name is. She is Eternal Sleep, and she is an alicorn. All three grandchildren are in disbelief that the personification of death is a child. Before they can stop her, Eternal Sleep gets into Granny Smith's bedroom and gives her the strength to say goodbye to her grandchildren. Granny Smith gives them all a speech about how proud she is of each of them, that to see them all doing so well made her life worth it. Finally, Applejack allows Eternal Sleep to hold Granny Smith's hoof and leads her away, just as the storm clouds dissipate. At the Funeral, Applejack is the only one not crying. When her friends ask her why, she explains that while she is sad at losing Granny, when she remembers everything she did for her, it makes her happy. Then Applejack writes a letter to Princess Celestia about how saying goodbye is hard, but the happy memories will stay with you forever.
 
== We will get at least 1 new episode focusing entirely on: ==
* Applejack.
** Maybe one where she competes with the local carrot business, and learns that partnerships pay off more than rivalries.
* Fluttershy.
Line 676:
** With little to no appearance of any of the mane 6 (if they appear, it's so they can lampshade how they're not the focus of the episode).
 
== Not necessarily in Season 3, but there will be a [[Rule Sixty Three63]] episode. ==
 
== There will be an episode where two or sets of two ponies experience a [[Freaky Friday Flip]], with the moral about respecting and understanding others' feelings. ==
Line 682:
== It's not the last time we see the corrupted cast. ==
Perhaps later on, the mane cast will have to face their inner evils just like in [[Bleach]] where Ichigo fights his inner Hollow.
* [[http://hereticalrants.deviantart.com/art/Hollow-Twichigo-216352589?q=boost<!-- 3Apopular20My%3Apopular%20My%20Little%20Pony%3A%20Friendship%20is%20Magic%20bleach&qo=3 Just]]{{Dead link}} [[http://ah-darnit.deviantart.com/art/Pony-request-Hollow-Dash-243907188?q=boost%3Apopular%20My%20Little%20Pony%3A%20Friendship%20is%20Magic%20hollow&qo=1 like this...]] -->
 
== The next antagonist will pull [[Body Surfing]]. ==
...But do a generally poor job of imitating who the Mane Cast are when they do get control over at least one of them.
* Or, in a [[Shout -Out]] to [[Star Trek: Voyager]], every body swap lands the new host into the old host's body (c.f. the [[Freaky Friday Flip]] guesses above). For example: Zecora gets dumped into a visitor's body, Apple Bloom gets dumped into Zecora's, Rainbow Dash into Apple Bloom's, Applejack into Dashie's, Rarity into Applejack's, Fluttershy into Rarity's, Pinkie Pie into Fluttershy's, Twilight Sparkle into Pinkie's, Big Macintosh into Twilight's, the Mayor into Big Mac's, and Derpy into the Mayor's. [[Hilarity Ensues]] over a two-or-three-parter).
 
== One of the Mane Cast will die. ==
Line 692:
* And now hopefully that I have posted this, the universe will do its best to stop it.
 
== The ugly dresses from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 /E14 Suited for Success|Suited for Success]]'' will eventually reappear during a costume party. ==
Expect Rarity to be appalled, until it's pointed out that technically she didn't design them, her '''friends''' did.
 
Line 700:
This could end in several ways. Luna could accept the ponies' apologies and return the night to existence, with everyone in the world having learned a very vital lesson. Or she could reject their apologies and refuse to return the night; if this happens, the Mane Six could end up having to convince her to do it... or, failing that, having to fight her and ''force'' the return of the night.
 
And if Luna wins, it's [[The End of the World Asas We Know It]]
 
<ref>...If anyone wants to make a fanfic out of this, go ahead; I lack confidence in myself as a writer to adequately make this into a proper story.</ref>
Line 710:
* ...So she can go around all day without being treated differently. It will go smoothly at first, but something will go wrong with the spell, making it so she can't change back to her true form at will. For extra drama, it will happen when Equestria needs her most, causing the Mane Six to save her.
 
== There will be a [[The Beatles (band)|Beatles]] episode, like [[The Powerpuff Girls|another Lauren Faust show]] ==
* In which the Mane Cast and Pipsqueak visit Liverpool <ref>which [[That Other Wiki]] tells me is also the name of a water obstacle in horse jumping</ref> and run into [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]] pony versions of [[The Beatles]] themselves.
** Could work as the musical episode theorized elsewhere...which would be '''[[Crowning Music of Awesome|awesome as all hell]]''' if the songs were [[Beatles]] parodies.
 
== At some point, Twilight will clone herself. ==
Line 726:
Perhaps as one of the five episodes on [[Shout Factory]]'s upcoming DVD ''[http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0063FGF14 The Friendship Express]''.
* Possibly confirmed. The DVD includes an episode titled "The Last Roundup", but it may be aired before the DVD comes out.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20130602161202/http://tvlistings.zap2it.com/tv/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-the-last-roundup/EP013304160040 It will indeed air before the DVD comes out], but there's still the possibility of a future DVD containing a never-before-seen episode.
 
== There will be an episode focusing on Scootaloo. ==
Sweetie Belle and Applebloom have both had episodes this season with them as the central characters, it's only natural Scootaloo will follow suit.
* The [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E7/E07 May the Best Pet Win|next episode]] is about Rainbow Dash hosting a flying race to see who will be her pet. Would it be surprising if [[Loony Fan|Scootaloo]] decided to compete?
** That's [[Jossed]], but there could still be a Scootaloo-centric episode in the future.
** If you take Cutie Pox as an Apple Bloom episode and Sisterhooves Social as a Sweetie Belle episode, then it would seem Scootaloo is due for a centric episode.
Line 745:
== The next villain will be immune to the Elements of Harmony ==
And the mane cast will have to figure out an alternative way to stop them.
* And maybe they'll have to actually fight hoof-to-hoof and/or with combat/elemental<ref>[[Fire, Ice, Lightning]]</ref> magic.
** That would be an interesting twist. Maybe they go through [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] just to make sure their friends don't get obliterated.
* Or the villain will be [[Out -Gambitted]] and dead forever.
* Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash aren't holding up their ends of the Elements, thanks to an extremely massive argument, but when the Cutie Mark Crusaders are threatened, their bonds are reaffirmed and they use the elements to [[Mama Bear|swiftly put that jerk back in his/her place.]]
 
Line 759:
== There will be an episode showing that the mane six's virtues (honesty, loyalty, etc.) can be harmful if taken to extremes. ==
* Honesty: If you tell the whole truth all of the time and never hide anything from anyone, you become [[Brutal Honesty|brutally honest]] and [[Cannot Keep a Secret|can't be trusted with sensitive information]].
* Loyalty: If you support someone in everything they do and never disagree with them (even if it would be to their detriment), you become a [[Yes -Man|Yes Mare]].
* Kindness: If you always try to help everyone with everything they do 24/7 (even if your help is unwanted), you become [[Stop Helping Me!|a nuisance]].
* Laughter: If you constantly try to get people to have fun, they'll eventually get bored and your efforts will just come off as annoying and selfish (In other words, this is what Pinkie feared had happened in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 /E25 Party of One|Party of One]]).
* Generosity: If you give away too many things too freely, you'll end up causing waste and spoiling people. Also, you might be compelled to give away something that isn't yours to give.
* Magic: If you rely to heavily on magic and stop believing in the rest of the world, you become ignorant.
Line 774:
As Celestia and Luna represent ponykind, we'll see the gods for the dragons, gryphons, buffalo, cows, sheep, etc.
 
== There will be an episode where it is learned that Princess Celestia doesn't have the [[Hundred Percent100% Adoration Rating]] she was originally thought to have. ==
A new pony will visit Ponyville and meet the mane cast. Everything turns out good at first, but during Pinkie Pie's welcoming party for him/her, he/she will have something critical to say about Princess Celestia during casual conversation. All other Ponyville ponies will call this pony out on it and accuse him/her of treason. The issue becomes so overblown that it gets Princess Celestia's attention. But Celestia finds the new pony's criticism to be valid, and uses it to solve the problem he/she brings up. The lesson? Some criticism is constructive criticism. Also, you should never [[Eight Point Eight8.8|overreact towards someone just because they gave a bad review towards something you love]].
 
== The Windigos weren't permanently defeated and are still active and feeding off of the negative emotions of the ponies. They just got more subtle about it. ==
The story in Hearths Warming Eve is the legend as it was known at the time, the truth is that the Windigos were defeated but not killed. They persist, subtly [[Emotion Eater|feeding on the negative emotions]] of ponies and trying to spread misery. After their first defeat they brought discord to Equestria to cause chaos and misery so they could continue their feast. When he was defeated, they used Luna's jealousy to corrupt her. It was their influence that helped release her, using her power to blot out the sun to cause an ice age deeper and colder than anything their blizzards could. The used the CMC's negative emotions to release discord. Member of the mane six goes crazy? Windigos trying to corrupt them to weaken the elements of harmony. The Windigos are the big bad, [[Manipulative Bastard|manipulative bastards]], using [[The Corruption|the corruption]] to trick people into bringing about [[The End of the World Asas We Know It|the end of the world as we know it]]. And even [[Physical God|Celestia]] has no idea they are doing it.
 
== [[Jerkass|Gilda]] will return. ==
Line 792:
 
== There will be a CMC episode with a filly beauty pageant. ==
Sweetie Belle will be the contestant with the assistance of her friends and Rarity, while Tiara will be her rival. Also the pageant will be less [[Squick|Squicky]]y than actual child pageants (see ''[[Little Miss Sunshine]]''). If there is a talent portion, it could very well be the episode in which S.B. gets over her stage fright and gets her cutie mark showing her talent as a singer.
 
== Angel Bunny will [[Killed Off for Real|stop]] [[Watership Down|running]]. ==
Line 799:
 
== A [[Very Special Episode]] will involve the Mane Six getting pregnant. ==
From them eating some kind of [[G -Rated Sex|fertility berry]] to make it more kid-friendly. It will probably have a [[Shout -Out]] to [[Juno]], where each of them are trying to find a home for their soon-to-be born fillies. Each of them will also have their own problems with the pregnancy as well.
* Twilight will have a hard time reading.
* Pinkie Pie will be unable to eat sweets without puking.
Line 807:
* Fluttershy... I can't think of one for Fluttershy. At the end, they decide to keep the fillies. And this will be the finale of Season 3, just in case (JUST IN CASE) it [[Long Runner|keeps]] [[Franchise Zombie|going]].
** If your theory does happen (which I doubt they could get away with something like that, considering the characters have the maturity of someone in their late teens, but you never know) Fluttershy's concern could be that she might not be able to properly care for a filly, or that caring for the filly would get in the way of her caring for animals.
*** Alternatively, Fluttershy could be the only one of the mane six who's well-prepared to raise a foal, and thus be a foil to the other five.
** I actually have an idea that could make this work even more. A fair is held at Ponyville with booths available to anyone who has something to sell. An unassuming pony (species doesn't matter for this) is running a booth that sells fruit drinks. Twilight and her friends go over and introduce themselves. Thrilled to meet the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony, the pony offers them each a sample of his "Harmony Swirls", special drinks that each reflect one of the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony which have names like Rarity's Berry Blush, Rainbow Dash's Color Quencher, Applejack's Sweet Reward, Pinkie Pie's Sugar Surprise, Fluttershy's Forest Blender and Twilight's Sky Dream (or...something like that). They all accept the drinks and think there's nothing to worry about. However later the Mane Cast discovers that the drinks had the aforementioned fertility berry in them and now they're expecting foals (I say foals because it would be interesting if one of the Mane Cast had a son). The problems above crop up though they do end up keeping the foals. However later the "pony" who sold them the drinks reappears and reveals himself to be some sort of villain (not a pony; just a shape-shifter pretending to be one) and reveals that the sweet foals the Mane Cast has been tending are part of his master plan to destroy Equestria. Horrified the Mane Cast pleads to be allowed a chance to save the foals. Out of cockiness, the villain agrees and gives them a riddle to solve (my theory is on something like "To give these foals a brand new start, find the truths of one loved one's heart) with the stakes of if they solve the riddle in the time limit (if it's long enough, this could actually be a multi-parter or even a movie), the foals will be free but if any of the Mane Cast fail, their foal (s) will belong to him. With no other choice, they agree but go to Celestia for help. She explains about the villain and offers to cover for them at the various workplaces until the riddle is solved. Luna then appears and gives them a special charm that shows them where they need to go to solve each pony's riddle contribution.
*** Damn, why the hell didn't I think of that?
 
== There will be an episode with an anti-racism type message. ==
Line 824:
** Fluttershy's medical skills make her a shoo-in for the navigator/pilot.
** Rainbow and Applejack would be the resident Action Girls, complete with a fight scene involving white blood cells.
** And above all, the whole thing would be Pinkie's idea. {{[[Cloudcuckoolander |Because only Pinkie could dream something like this up.}}]]
 
== There will be a [[Road To]] episode with Pinkie and Rarity ==
Line 839:
 
== Spike will run away again ==
Spike is always willing to help out Twilight with in the library, or Rarity find gems. But he never seemed to get appreciated much for all the hard work he did. He didn't mind at first. He liked feeling useful. However, Twilight constantly has him do a large amount of work for her at the library, and leaves him there, while SHE goes out with her friends to have fun. They never seemed to invite much to anything, so he spent his days alone at the library. This will cause Spike to finally snap. He will get into a argument with [[What the Hell, Hero?|all of them]], about how he was never invited to either Gummy or Twilight's birthday, nearly drowned at the end of Winter Wrap Up, after the piece of ice he fell asleep on melting ice (no one helped him, they just let it melt)and they all just laughed at him, or how they abandoned him at the Gala when all he wanted to do was be with all of them. They will all be saddened by at what he said, but despite them trying to apologize, he ends his friendship with them all, and leaves them all in a shocked stance. After snapping out of it, they all wait for him to come back, thinking he hopefully left to just blow off some steam. But he doesn't come back. So after everyone in Ponyville looks for him, and all fail to find the baby dragon, Twilight and the others have no choice but to tell Princess Celestia that Spike's missing and it's their fault. Celestia sends out guards all over Equestria to find him, and Twilight tearfully tells Celestia her regrets about the way she treated Spike. Celestia calmly tells Twilight that if she and the others truly regrets what they did, they have to be there for Spike, especially during this time. A guard immediately bursts in telling the Princess and the others that some ponies reported seeing a baby dragon in a forest located in a distant area of Equestria.
 
Meanwhile, Spike has been going on his own misadventures, trying to find a new home. He meets some friendly ponies on his trip, but can't help but feel regret for what he did to everyone back in Ponyville. He keeps moving on, with a smile (though a [[Stepford Smiler|fake one]]), and after nearly being starved to death, and filthy, he finds a cave to settle in, and starts to wish he never did what he did. Just then, Twilight and the others appear, and try to talk to him. He is reluctant at first, but eventually starts to speak more, saying how he always felt alone and friendless back at the library, while they spent a lot fun times on their adventures. He apologizes for what he said earlier, and is about to leave, when Twilight tearfully hugs him. The others start to join in, and apologize, admitting that what he said was true, and how they never intended to hurt him, but will do better to treat him as their friend. He falls asleep on the trip back to Ponyville, and realizes the next morning that he slept in too late. He rushes downstairs to help Twilight when... SURPRISE!! Everyone he knows has thrown him a party to show their appreciation for him. They all plan to do many things with him. And says that it won't just last one day, but they'll do all kinds of fun things everyday.
 
Twilight and the others will learn a lesson about never making your friends feel left out and to never neglect them. It will not only hurt them, but it can hurt you and other friends as well as destroy the friendship that you have. Always make sure that you show them the same love you show for your other friends as well and make them feel appreciated and accepted.
Line 864:
== There will be a Season 3 episode that will be about Spike looking for his parents ==
* The Mane cast's parents will come for a sort of parents day celebration, and spike will feel bit left out of the party. When they all leave for a while, spike writes a letter to the princess asking where his egg came from. Which will result in the princess coming to the library, in person, to tell spike, that she had found his egg, and had no idea where his parents were. She simply used her magic to keep the baby inside the egg alive, and wait to use him as a part of the entrance exam for Twilight. This will cause Spike to go out, and look for clues on [[Gene Hunting|where his parents are]]. The girls will refuse to go, and try and convince Spike not to go too, by saying that it's dangerous, and he might find out the truth about his parents, and the truth [[Awful Truth|may not be pleasant]]. He will still be determined to find them, despite the consequences it may bring. But the girls will try to track him down. And there will be enemies waiting for them, at every corner.
** In one possible ending, It will turn out that Spike's parents were killed a long time ago, back when [[It Takes a Village (Fanfic)|ponies hunted and killed dragons for sport]]. Celestia found spike's egg alone, after his parents were killed, and took care of him. Keeping his egg in stasis, for many, many years, until Twilight hatched him. This will result in him having a [[Heroic BSOD|heroic bsod]], but Twilight and the others comfort him, saying that they will always be a family to him.
** Another ending could be that Spike successfully finds his parents. They aren't mean or nasty like the girls would've thought, but actually kind and caring. And they will all find out that a group of ponies had once came to their cave trying to steal their hoard of gems. They accidentally took Spike's egg by mistake, but during their escape, they accidentally dropped the egg, leaving it behind for Celestia to find. Twilight feels upset that her number one assistant and brother might actually leave her. But his parents, not wanting him to choose between them or his friends, decide to move to the cave that the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E7/E07 Dragon Shy|red dragon lived in in DragonShy]], so they can always watch over him
** Considering the title of his next episode, "The Great Dragon Migration" may be a [[Shout -Out]] to the tenth ''[[Land Before Time]]'' film, and the plot has him join the migration to find himself, it's possible. After all, Littlefoot ''did'' find his father in that film, so its possible.
*** This episode would serve as a sequel to the "Dragon Quest" episode, in which it would answer all of Spike's questions. The letter that Celestia sent to Spike, while he was with the other dragons, will be brought up again, and play a role in the story as well.
== There will be an episode about Bronies ==
There will be a new TV show or something that is primarily aimed at young fillies, however each of the mane six and Spike soon find themselves enjoying the show immensely, but none of them want the others to know about it for their own reasons. By the end of the episode, each will reveal their enjoyment of the show and the moral will be that you shouldn't be ashamed of something you like and that true friends won't care about what you like either. Bonus points if the reason Applejack comes out is because she finds out Big Macintosh openly enjoys it and doesn't care what others think.
Line 876:
== There will be another Daring Do episode. ==
 
== There will be an [[April Fools' Day]]-esque holiday episode at some point ==
Maybe involving a war of pranks between Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. Bonus points if it references Discord.
 
Line 898:
In the end, she will keep her friends and be a Wonderbolt.
 
== There will be an episode where Twilight is committed to Ponyville Hospital's mental ward. ==
In "Read It and Weep", it was implied that Ponyville has a mental facility somewhere within its hospital, if the super tight security for stealing someone's slippers and the appearance of Loose Screw is anything to go by. In "Lesson Zero", Twilight went insane trying to find a friendship problem to please Celestia, and in "It's About Time", she was willing to ''[[Fate Worse Than Death|stop]] [[And I Must Scream|time]]'' for her own means. Rather than suffering from Cutie Mark Failure Insanity Syndrome, Twilight is mentally unstable all on her own, especially concerning time. Thus, she will be considered a danger to everypony and put in a mental ward for an episode.
* And for the rest of the series, she'll be laid-back to the point where she doesn't care what the outcome is anymore.
 
Line 910:
== There will be an episode centered around another Draconequi ==
And he/she will be a ''good'' guy, but his species is demonized thanks to Discord (who even they consider a monster), so he has to try and get past that. The moral will be not to judge somepony based on what or who they are, but on them.
* Or, if this new Draconequis ''is'' a villain, he/she won't have Discord's [[For the Evulz|sick sence of humor]] and have a reason beyond spreading chaos beyond [[It Amused Me|their own entertainment.]]
 
== There will be a Scootaloo episode... ==
Line 917:
* Or maybe an episode about: When Rainbow blows off Scootaloo too many times for trivial things instead of helping her fly, it makes her upset and denounces Dash as an idol. Rainbow thinks nothing of it at first, but when she discovers her former fan is learning from three old bullies of hers', she feels regretful for hurting her friend. Can Rainbow find a way to win her friend back?~ episode idea by [[HT Ffan]]-101
 
== [[Evil Versus Evil]] - [[Emotion Eater|Emotion Eaters]]s Face Off! ==
With the revelation that the Changelings feed off [[The Power of Love]], what better enemy for them to face than beings that feed off [[The Power of Hate]], the Windigos? Such a conflict might even result in a [[Heel Face Turn]] for the Changelings (or at least some of them), siding with the ponies of Equestria in fending off those who would destroy them all.
 
Line 923:
Now I'm aware that the theme of forgiveness is sprinkled in here and there in many episode but not as the main theme. There should be an episode about the dangers of holding a grudge and/or the [[Vicious Cycle]] of Revenge.
* Original poster here, bonus points are given if not only they do an episode of [[Forgiveness]] but reveals to be Princess Luna's past. Or it can be Gilda, Trixie, and the other jerks who teamed up against the revenge on Mane Six. Only to show to see the [[Apocalypse How|causing the end of their world]] or [[He Who Fights Monsters|becoming the ones they became]].
** Another version can give a [[Freudian Excuse]] on WHY he/she isn't willing to forgive or accept forgiveness, that when he/she were young he/she DID forgiven/accepted their apologies but only only for [[The Farmer and Thethe Viper|the offenders to continue.]] This can result a [[Shut Up, Kirk]] speech, asking the Mane Cast how he/she can forgive their offenders if the said offenders are going to do it again and again?
 
 
Line 932:
*** Either way, Twilight Sparkle and her friends are gonna go through real hell to defeat these two together!
** I'm not too fond of this. After all, changelings need to feed off of love, and Discord's chaos can surely prove problematic if he ends up corrupting their 'food source'.
*** How about in the end, their [[Villain Team -Up]] fails because Discord isn't exactly a team player and Chrysalis is too demanding. Either way, this will both bite them on the plots hard and they'll suffer a [[Villainous Breakdown]]. Points are given if the heroines gave a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] or [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]] speech to the villains that they'll always be alone.
 
== Discord will return, and the Mane Cast form an [[Enemy Mine]] with Queen Chrysalis against him ==
Line 961:
* I don't see what's so wrong with swimsuits, given that ponies don't usually wear clothes, period.
 
== There will be an episode showing that [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|Ponies are Bastards]]. ==
A villain will try to break the spirit of all of Equestria showing how ponies are actually worse than what everypony (and what the fans) think. The Mane Six may respond with a [[Patrick Stewart Speech]] saying that [[Humans Are Flawed|Ponies are Flawed]] but not evil.
* Didn't we already get the first half of this with Putting Your Hoof Down?
 
== Rather than stating [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|Ponies Are Bastards]], they should give out [[Rousseau Was Right]] ==
To add the WMG above, the said villain could do a "Social Experiment" similar to [[The Joker]] in [[The Dark Knight]] to the ponies in "Putting Your Hoof Down" maybe [[Jerkass]]es but they're not [[Complete Monster|total sociopaths]], and show their [[Freudian Excuse]] on why they act that way. And everypony is really good at heart, except the villains. Or perhaps even the said Villain had a reason, without evil. The universe will suffer from entropy and wipe out from existence.
 
== The Season 3 premiere will be a [[Shout -Out]] to the [[Marvel Comics|Secret Invasion]] ==
With the Changelings taking place of the Skrull.
 
Line 974:
Since he's been [[Rule of Three|mentioned 3 times]] and the last time involved his invention of Time Travel.
He [[Crash Into Hello|smashes right into Twilight Sparkle.]]
Naturally, he'll think [[White MansMan's Burden|that unicorns are the master race]] and that
[[Values Dissonance|Applejack and Pinkie are Twilight's slaves since Unicorns have a duty to guide the "lesser races".]]
When introduced to the concept of alicorns,he'll have some kind of breakdown-which will get worse when he meets the Cakes.
The lesson of the episode is about racism.
Also,he won't be an old man(pony?).He'll be young enough to function as a love interest.
 
Line 990:
* A genderbent episode
* Twilight Sparkle getting put on a bus (What? "Go absolutely crazy over" doesn't necessarily mean it's good news.)
* Twilight Sparkle [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|turning evil Nightmare Moon-style]] (Come on! We've seen Twilight Sparkle go pretty insane twice in Season 2. Who wouldn't want to see her go COMPLETELY insane and try to destroy Equestria!?)
* An episode about the Brony phenomenon
* Remember back during Season 1 when [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] recognized the show, and pony versions of him were drawn by fans? It took two seasons to become canon, but here he comes!
 
== Princess Cadance will get pregnant ==
Line 1,000:
* It may be revealed in the end that Princess Cadance isn't really pregnant thus bringing either relief or disappointment to the married couple.
 
== Twilight Sparkle will [[Face Heel Turn|become]] [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|evil]] in one or more Season 3 episode(s) ==
We've seen Twilight Sparkle go [[Super OCD|pretty insane in two Season 2 episodes]]. But most would agree that both times she went insane were hilarious. But, what would happen if she were to [[Despair Event Horizon|lose all hope in Equestria]] [[Heroic Self -Deprecation|and/or herself]], [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation|go completely insane]] and transform into an [[Omnicidal Maniac]] [[Super -Powered Evil Side|ala Nightmare Moon]]!? [[Fighting Your Friend|How will the Mane 6 (or Mane 5 excluding Twilight) be able to save Equestria]] as well as their bestest friend [[Enemy Within|from herself]]!?
* The trigger of [[Face Heel Turn|Twilight Sparkle's transformation]] will be...
** Her insecurities and/or inferiority complex - Despite helping many in need and saving Equestria three times since first moving to Ponyville, [[Heroic Self -Deprecation|she still feels insecure about many things including herself.]]
** A more serious [[Super OCD]] freakout - And [[Not So Fast Bucko|Princess Celestia won't let her off the hook this time]].
** The chaos she created (e.g. the Want-It-Need-It spell incident) being exposed to everypony - [[What the Hell, Hero?|This could turn everypony she's ever cared about against her]]...[[It Got Worse|including Shining Armor]].
** A [[Reason You Suck Speech]] pointing out her personal flaws (e.g. self-righteousness) and inner demons - This could be a [[Shut Up, Kirk]] speech from a villain like Discord reminding her of the chaos she caused without him being there and that she is [[Not So Different]].
** A genuine [[Bad Future]] (unlike in "It's About Time" where Twilight, for once, thought everyone she knows have gone mad after becoming [[Jade -Colored Glasses|more and more disillusioned]] by her friends, family, and mentors). It can be that the heroes (including the Princesses and Shining Armor) agreed to do [[Grey and Grey Morality|something]] [[White and Grey Morality|completely]] [[Shoot the Dog|hypocritical]] to the elements or friendship in general. For once, Twilight will [[Calling the Old Man Out|lash out at them]] and begins her [[Start of Darkness]].
** An [[Alternate Timeline]] where [[The Bad Guy Wins|Discord and/or Chrysalis won]] and Twilight [[Face Heel Turn|decided to]] [[Deal Withwith the Devil|join the villains]] because after all, [[We Can Rule Together|if you can't beat them, join them.]]
* Since Twilight Sparkle would most likely neglect her Element of Magic, somepony may have to temporarily take her place as its wielder. This could be...
** Princess Luna - This could be her chance to [[The Atoner|atone for her crimes as Nightmare Moon]]!
Line 1,023:
*** Twilight Sparkle herself trying to regain self-control
** ''Or'' [[Curb Stomp Battle|the Elements fail and Twilight seemingly defeats them]].
* Twilight Sparkle ultimately [[What Have I Become?|realizes what she has become]] and...
** She then [[Enemy Within|attempts to regain self-control]].
** She then helps her friends vanquish her [[Super -Powered Evil Side]] with the Elements of Harmony once and for all.
** [[Tear Jerker|She breaks down in tears]] believing that [[I Am a Monster|she is a monster]] and that [[This Is Unforgivable!|what she did was unforgivable]].
*** [[Easily Forgiven|Everypony may easily forgive her]], but she may [[Heroic Self -Deprecation|refuse to forgive herself]]. In the end, she is reassured by her friends to [[The Atoner|learn from her mistakes]].
** She believes that everypony would be better off without her and decides to leave Ponyville for good. However, her friends [[Please Don't Leave Me|beg her to stay]] telling her that [[Can't Live Without You|their lives wouldn't be the same without her]].
* When Twilight Sparkle finally returns to her original self, [[Tear Jerker|she almost dies]]...but ultimately [[Disney Death|regains consciousness]] [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|and self-control]].
Line 1,038:
** Fluttershy: Will take her [[Extreme Doormat]] tendencies [[Up to Eleven]] out of "kindness" to increasingly undeserving people around her.
*** So basically, will do nothing with Fluttershy.
** [[Rainbow Dash]]: Her loyalty will be cranked up to the point where she becomes a submissive [[Yes -Man|Yes Mare]] to her friends, Twilight especially, even if she sees any obvious flaws in any plans or ideas anyone close to her will have, and will become extremely aggressive to anyone who questions their decision making, no matter how legitimate those questions may be (resulting in conflicts with Applejack due to the above).
** Pinkie Pie: Will become a somewhat more benign [[Stepford Smiler]]. She'll laugh 24/7 regardless of whether she finds anything funny.
** Twilight Sparkle: Will rely solely on magic, possibly to the point where she dismisses science itself.
Line 1,050:
Pinkie Pie mentioned that losing a friend's trust is the best way to lose a friend forever. In the Season 2 finale, it is implied that Twilight lost the trust of all her friends, including the princesses. There is some serious foreshadowing here.
 
== There will be [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]] episode for Celestia ==
Seeing as how everyone's image of Celestia has been tainted by her losing rather easily to Chrysalis, the writers will give her an episode that proves that she is the most powerful pony in the world. It won't be unlike some [[Superman]] stories, showing her as a [[Showy Invincible Hero]] that is far from boring.
 
Line 1,066:
 
== The Cutie Mark Crusaders will learn a swear word. ==
It's happened [[Arthur (Animationanimation)|in]] [[The Powerpuff Girls (Animation)|other]] [[SpongeBob SquarePants (Animation)|cartoons]], so why not? <ref>Especially funny since the CMC were based on the PPG.</ref>
 
=== Crossovers ===
 
== There will be a a crossover with [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]], the original [[My Little Pony]] series and [[My Little Pony Tales]] ==
* ALL OF MY MONEY FOR A ''MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS FOREVER!''
* Do not forget about [[My Little Pony G 3 (Animation)|G3]] and [[My Little Pony: Friendship Gardens|G2]].<ref>G2 had no cartoon, but it did have a video game and some picture books</ref>. I would like to see Rainbow Dash the 1st and Rarity the 2nd interacting. Tales is the only series that I cannot think of way to [[Canon Welding|canon weld]] with the other continuities. Hasbro does not have the copyrights to certain G1 characters anymore, but it could still happen.
* Alternatively, the G3 ponies could be villains, as a [[Take That]] to the [[Periphery Hatedom]] the previous generations get from bronies.
 
Line 1,085:
And he will be gigantic.
 
== Twilight Sparkle gets stuck in a "[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]" spoof episode. ==
She'll be harassed by a (very shiny) unicorn named Night Glider, who wants to do EVERYTHING with Twilight. The other five Ponies don't like him AT ALL. Initially, Twilight thinks they're just jealous, but soon finds out Night Glider was very literal with the phrase "be by your side forever". Eventually, he is booted out of Ponyville by the Mane cast (possibly by using the elements of Harmony again) and everyone learns a lesson in "friends look out for each other's best interests."
* For some weird reason, I actually want to see this...
* Throw in a jealous hippogrif named Blackmane, Pinkie Pie and Rarity recruiting for Team Blackmane and Team Night Glider, and you got a PARTY.
 
=== Other ===
 
== Should they make a Second Season for the series... ==
* 24/03/2011 - Greenlit for another series of [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/05/26-episodes-clarification-from-daniel.html 26] episodes ^^
* There will be at least one episode centering around a male pony/ponies. While some ponies will resist and one (maybe Rarity) will dress up for him, but the ponies learn he's a person, too. The aesop will of course be that "boys and girls can be friends."
** If there is a "stallions and colts are ponies too" episode, it would more likely be centered around the school-age foals like the Cutie Mark Crusaders, as children are the ones that more often tend to be sexist. Considering they're the only colts in the series, if they do have such an episode, it would probably be one to shed some sympathetic light on Snips and Snails. When the events of the episode lead to their humiliation, it seems like no one really cares all that much; I mean, they're just the comic relief guys. But when along comes the [[Did You Think I Can't Feel?]] scene...
* Trixie will join the crew as the [[Sixth Ranger]].
** Many fans like Trixie because of her [[Third Person Person|various]] [[Smug Super|bad]] [[Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better|attributes]]. Remove them and she's no longer the Trixie we know and like. Keep them and other fans will complain why the Mane Cast is hanging around with somepony [[The Scrappy|who's always insulting them]].
* Alternately, Derpy Hooves. In case she becomes popular enough to Hasbro consider making a toy based on her. Well, why not? It's not like Trixie doesn't have followers or that can't be made appealing for the target audience. And Derpy is...Derpy -- [[Ensemble Darkhorse|everybrony's favorite pony]].
** The problem with adding another pegasus would be that they would have to add another unicorn and another Earth pony as well. If there were more of one than the others, it might be construed as favoritism and pegasus popularity would rise, resulting in fewer sales of unicorn or Earth pony toys. Remember Hasbro's motto: To sell toys.
Line 1,113:
** Why not Rainbow Dash and Applejack? They share a voice actor too.
*** Never said that couldn't happen either.
** If not personalities, why not powers? Applejack and or Twilight as Pegasi and Fluttershy and or Pinkie as Unicorns would be awesome
 
== Lauren Faust will include some reference to the '4chan Pony Wars'. ==
Line 1,122:
 
== Season two will involve a search for the "Seventh Element". ==
The seventh being "Courage" which is possessed by Spike, however since his young body is too fragile to handle such a power using it will involve a temporary [[Plot -Relevant Age -Up]] until he learns how to control it.
 
== No matter how hard they may try, Studio B won't be able to give everypony from Season 1 a return appearance. ==
This will lead to the bronies deciding that the missing character has had an untimely demise between seasons, [[The Fab Four|complete with reading "clues" from the series]] that supposedly support the [[Urban Legends|"facts"]] that they will be creating, themselves.
* Exactly how an animated character can get killed instead of merely [[Put Onon a Bus]] will be a main point of the debunkers.
* If this guess is correct, expect a Snopes entry before the last episode of Season 2 is aired on the Hub network.
 
Line 1,138:
 
== Someone will be [[Killed Off for Real]]. ==
* Celestia, with Luna taking control of the sun as well as the moon. Twilight instead keeps her "friendship reports" in a diary of some sort, maybe a [[CaptainsCaptain's Log]].
* Granny Smith. Not necessarily killed, but maybe passing on in her sleep, leading to some [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|bonding between Applejack and Pinkie]], the latter of whom will have had experienced the loss of Granny Pie when she was Apple Bloom's age.
** Plus, Sweetie Belle could get her cutie mark singing at the funeral.
* A villian who is [[Complete Monster|utterly evil and despicable,]] and somehow immune to the Elements of Harmony.
 
== Season(s) 2 and 3 will include more [[Shout -Out|references]] to the various fan works. ==
* [[Doctor Who (TV)|The Doctor]] finally having his proper accent and running around with Derpy, Colgate, or Rose.
* Spike wearing [[Scott Pilgrim|Scott's jacket.]]
* A party featuring a [[Weird Al|Pony Polka.]]
Line 1,157:
 
== None of the villains from previous incarnations will appear. ==
Keep in mind, the only G1 copyrights Hasbro could retain were on Spike and Applejack. This probably extends to the villains and minor characters, too. However, we could easily get a [[Lawyer -Friendly Cameo]] or an Expy of a villain or 2.
 
== "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E3/E03 Lesson Zero|Lesson Zero]]" set up a change in format for future episodes. ==
Celestia condition to forget Twilight's punishment was that the rest of mane cast be involved in making friendship report when and only when they discover them. This could lead to the following in future episodes:
* Because the rest of mane cast can send friendship reports now, there will be episodes where Twilight will be absent, possibly focusing solely on one of the characters, and if they find something to report, they can now do it themselves.
Line 1,165:
* Not every episode will have an aesop. Some will just be for fun.
 
== The group friendship reports at the end of "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E3/E03 Lesson Zero|Lesson Zero]]" will be a parallel to the Grand Galloping Gala from Season 1. ==
The Grand Galloping Gala (referred to further in this WMG as "GGG" for short) in Season 1 served as a psuedo-[[Story Arc]] as a sort of compromise between Faust and Hasbro. There were three episodes in this arc, a beginning, middle, and end. The beginning was the third episode. Season 2 will have the group friendship reports in the same manner. "Lesson Zero", the third episode of the season, is the beginning. At the season's midpoint, there will be a story where the plot focuses on the group friendship reports... somehow, I'm not quite sure. The season finale will be the end as well. I'm not sure how a plot could actually be derived from the reports, perhaps it'll be based on some other aspect of "Lesson Zero", or maybe it'll involve some of the new villains.
 
Line 1,183:
== By the end of S2 everyone of the mane six with have had an at-least 70% sanity slippage. ==
 
== The show will end with a [[Mass Super -Empowering Event]]. ==
In which every single pony in existence is turned into an Alicorn.
 
Line 1,191:
 
== Mare do well is only the tip of the iceberg. ==
There will be more hero [[Expy|expies]] later on, including [[Power Rangers|a ranger team]], [[Indiana Jones|an adventure archeaologist]], and [[The A-Team (TV)|a crack team of royal guards on the run for a crime they didn't commit]].
* And they'll form a [[Justice League (animation)|Justice Herd]].
* Luna will become [[Sailor Moon]] expy.
* One of those has now [[Just for Fun/Daring Do/Just For Fun|happened]].
 
== Each of the Mane Cast's Gala fantasy will come true this season. ==
In "Sweet And Elite", three of theirs already did (see below). At some point, the other three will have theirs come true, and possibly the other two whose weren't the episode's focus will have episodes devoted to it.
 
* Rarity: She met a high society stallon who behaved like a true gentleman towards her. Sure, there's no implication of a [[Love Interest]] with Fancypants, but he still treated her like a lady and truly liked her for who she really was.
* Fluttershy: She made friends with some of the animals in Canterlot garden. If revisited, perhaps a future episode will involve her making friends with them (perhaps they get sick and Celestia calls her in to act as vet, knowing how much she wanted to befriend them before?)
* Pinkie Pie: She got to enjoy a big party in Canterlot and have a great time. Hers got more focus, seeing as she threw a big party for Twilight's birthday in Canterlot's ballroom, so a second episode might not be needed exploring this.
Line 1,208:
== Spike and Rarity will eventually become an [[Official Couple]]. ==
Due to the recent developments it seems to be leading up to this. [[Status Quo Is God|BUT]], there is a rather evident age difference and I doubt it will be openly allowed.
* There could be a case of [[Jail Bait Wait]], on Rarity's part.
* Dragon Quest seems to have shades of this.
 
== The display of [[The Power of Friendship]] to defeat the Windigos is [[Foreshadowing]]. ==
It shows it's possible to utilize a [[Circle of Friendship]] attack of [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]] strength ''without'' having the Elements Of Harmony, at least not the ''physical'' elements. A future villain will somehow steal the Elements again, but ultimately be beaten by the Mane Cast using the Rainbow Of Light ''without'' the physical elements.
* In the two-episode pilot, they were able to summon the elements because the spirits of the elements were still there. So yeah, it's pretty much already confirmed that the spirits of the elements alone can be enough to defeat evil.
** {{spoiler|Confirmed, sort of. The Mane Cast don't do it, but Cadence and Shining Armor manage to repeat what was used to defeat the Windigos in order to put down Chrysalis and her swarm.}}
Line 1,218:
== Discord's origins will be revealed. ==
And it will turn out he was originally a being with little power at all, until a source gave him Reality Warping abilities [[From Nobody to Nightmare|turning him into who he is today]].
* This troper came up with the idea that Discord was created by a combination of the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 /E13 HearthsHearth's Warming Eve|Windigos]], beginning to starve from the new-found Harmony between Pony-kind, and whatever it was that made Nightmare Moon.
 
== The Fire of Friendship will serve many roles later in the series ==
Line 1,225:
 
== After Friendship is Magic gets its series finale, there will be a sequel series. ==
Possibly featuring the offspring of the FIM cast as the new main characters, maybe even some characters related to side characters like Zecora or even Derpy. Like ''[[The Legend of Korra (Animation)|The Legend of Korra]]'', it would place the characters in a different situation to avoid repeating the events of the first show, perhaps having the characters travel all over Equestria or even the world to do research. It might even have an overarching storyline as opposed to "slice of life" episodes that are dominant in FIM.
* A possibility: The offsprings are meant to wield the Elements of Harmony... But unlike their parents, will have to develop to fit into their roles.
** That would be pretty cool.
Line 1,234:
Rarity's already had "Becoming Popular", which works as one for her. "Smile, Smile, Smile" is one for Pinkie Pie. [[Word of God]] has already confirmed Twilight will (or was going to) get a solo song as well, which would be hers. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Applejack will get there's at other points.
 
== We'll get a nod to the [[Crossover|myriad crossovers]] the fandom has produced. [[Rule of Funny|Especially]] [[Rated Mfor"M" for Manly|those with "macho" franchises.]] ==
Ideas are welcome and encourgaed.
* A [[Modern Warfare|MW3]] parody, perhaps? The villain of the day could even be a [[EverythingsEverything's Worse Withwith Bears|huge bear]] voiced by none other than Roman Varshavsky! (Varshavsky voiced [[Big Bad|Makarov]] in the games).
 
== The characters will suffer [[Flanderization]]. ==
Similar to the [[Seasonal Rot]] that happened with [[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants]], here are some possibilities.
* Twilight turns from a bookworm to an inventor, who builds things such as robots.
* Pinkie Pie turns from a lovable [[Cloudcuckoolander]] to a full blown [[The Ditz|ditz]], with stupidity challenging that of [[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants|Patrick]].
* Rainbow Dash goes from a [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]] to a [[Jerkass]] who likes to torment other ponies [[For the Evulz]].
* Applejack becomes even more stereotypically southern.
** And Granny Smith will become a [[Racist Grandma]], and Applebloom will become an [[Annoying Younger Sibling]].
* Fluttershy turns from a cute, [[The Woobie|woobieish]] [[Shrinking Violet]], to an annoying little pussy who cries at anything, such as losing a shoe.
* Rarity becomes a similar self-absorbed jerk that Prince Blueblood was.
Line 1,251:
== The show will end or will begin its last arc of episodes with someone's death ==
Because what better way to end a quest to report findings on friendship than by having a report of what happens when the friendship meets an untimely end?
* This could however result in [[Darker and Edgier|a higher age rating]] since [[Never Say "Die"|actual death is rarely shown nor mentioned in kid's shows]].
 
== Lyra Heartstrings will get some screentime. ==
With all her appearances, a quite consistent haughty personality, and even spoken lines, Bon Bon is all but a borderline secondary character at this point in the season; time for Lyra to get some characterization.
* Lyra gets plenty of screentime... [[Funny Background Event|in the background]]! [[Completely Missing the Point|What]]?
 
Line 1,268:
** Technically, this limit is mostly imposed by Disney, which doesn't own the MLP line.
 
== The series finale will [[Torch the Franchise Andand Run]]. ==
* They will do this to ensure the G4 characters will not be corrupted with [[Seasonal Rot]] and, should a new series be made, will force the creation of a fresh generation.
 
Line 1,276:
== If a movie comes out, it will [[Alternate Continuity|be an alternate version of]] ''Return of Harmony''. ==
Retelling the events of ''Return of Harmony'' to make up for what seemed like rushed storytelling and/or lost potential in the original episode.
* Maybe in the same fashion as the [[Rebuild of Evangelion]] movies; just like the original episode but [[Took a Level Inin Badass|with new story elements]].
** For example, we might get an extended ending with [[Big Damn Villains|Discord actually making a last stand]] since he wasn't able to in the original episode. Maybe even [[Big Damn Heroes|Princess Luna enters the fray]] [[Heroic Sacrifice|to help the Mane 6 put him back on a pedestal!]]
 
Line 1,283:
== Only Changelings are supposed to be able to use the power of love ==
That's why Chrysalis is surprised. Maybe Shining Armor is/can use a small amount of changeling power.
* His changeling might allow him to become [[Mobile Fighter G Gundam (Anime)|Shining Armor, Super Mode and maybe upgrade into Burning Armor]]. Twilight also has changeling powers and used them once to turn into [[Pokémon|Rapidash]]
 
== Compared to the past two seasons, the third season will have a noticeable decrease in [[You All Look Familiar|background pony clones]]... ==
Line 1,307:
 
== A future [[Big Bad]] will be beaten using [[The Four Loves|Storge and Agape]] Love ==
The show ''is'' Phileo Love, Eros Love was used to defeat Chrysalis. Perhaps another villain will be defeated another type of love.
 
Possibilities (Please, add your own):
* Spike and Twilight's Brother/Sister Love for one another.
** Manifests: In some kind of [[Kill It Withwith Fire|Fire Spell]], probably green.
* Celestia's unconditional love for her subjects.
** Manifests: ???
Line 1,321:
== Connecting to the above, the final [[Big Bad]] will be defeated by all of [[The Four Loves]] together ==
The Mane Cast using the Elements, Shining Armor and Cadence using their love for each other, Celestia and Luna using the love for their people, and...someone using family love, possibly the rest of the Apples.
* Complete with a truly epic [[Theme Music Power -Up]]!
 
== The "Crystal Empire" is a plot element in Season 3, either as a the premiere episode or Season Finale ==
Line 1,327:
 
== Next season's major villains will all have a theme ==
This season was [[Emotion Eater|Emotion Eaters]]s, Discord off of disharmony between ponies, the Windigos off the [[Power of Hate]], and the Changelings off the [[Power of Love]]. If the Flim Flam Brothers and the teenaged dragons are included, then the theme was [[[Manipulative Bastard]] manipulative villains]] (Flim Flam Brothers manipulated the entire town and the Apples, and it's pretty obvious that the teenage dragons were manipulating Spike into joining their gang to use him as phoenix bait). First season only had one major villain, Nightmare Moon, but pride and jealousy was the theme behind every villain that season, Gilda seems at least partly driven by jealousy over Pinkie being Rainbow's friend, Trixie was prideful, and Nightmare Moon was jealous of her sister. The next season will have it's own theme when it comes to villains.
 
== Season 3 will introduce another mode of transportation (and add it to the opening sequence) ==
Line 1,339:
== Trixie will return, and be given redemption. ==
Why wouldn't she? I'm sick of people painting her as a destined villain. I want her to be forgiven, and part ways with the Mane 6 under kinder terms.
* Alternate to the above, Trixie will be offered redemption, but reject it because it reeks of [[Protagonist -Centered Morality]]. [[What the Hell, Hero?|She will then goes into a rant]] about how it was ''they'' who started it, how it seems ''they'' are the ones who semi-routinely ruin major social events, and asks whether her free show they were not obligated to attend was a warm-up for the Grand Galloping Gala or the Canterlot Garden Party.
 
== [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 /E20 Its About Time|Twilight Sparkle will get a really cool birthday present.]] ==
Perhaps even in an episode that airs in 2013.
 
Line 1,348:
 
== Applejack will be removed from the mane cast at some point in season three ==
The writers don't seem to know what to do with her character, and in almost all the (Very few) episodes she gets the spotlight in, she ends up being overshadowed by somepony else. So, they will either [[Killed Off for Real|kill her off]] (Unlikely due to the nature of the show), or [[Put Onon a Bus|put her on a bus.]] She may reappear at times or get a few mentions (i.e Rainbow Dash checking her mail and getting a letter from 'Jack) , but her role in the show will be drastically reduced. Methods by which she may be killed off/ put on a bus (Feel free to add more):
* Performs a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to save the others.
* Gets a [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him|bridge dropped on her]] [[The Worf Effect|to show how tough the main villain of the season opener is.]]
* Moves to Appleossa.
