Pinkie Pie and her friends jumping over rooftops. Spike screeching like Godzilla. Sonic rainboom. Diamond Dogs pulling the cart. Applejack's silhouette with her theme music after stopping the stampede. Twilight freaking out and saying "Clock is ticking!" Yay. Applejack's face after she pulled a whole tree inside the house. Applejack and Rainbow Dash running together. Twilight remembering getting her cutie mark. Chicken Pinkie Baby Cakes calling Pinkie Pie in their sleep. CMC shipping Chee-Mac Fluttershy's training montage Rarity using the accent. And I'll whisper, "No." Rainbow Dash flies with tank holding hands. Mexican snake Gilda remembering how being Rainbow Dash's friend is. Big Mac and Applebloom staring at sunset. Ra-ra's cutie mark shines. Fluttershy trying to be chaotic "Once upon a time, in a magical land in Equestria..."

I think Rainbow Rocks is pretty good if I see the positive parts. The only negative part is that it's a sequel to Equestria Girls.

I was avoiding EQG until before FiM season 8 premiere started. I thought it was a stupid idea to make human version of MLP and still think it is. The idea wasn't revolving around "wow do we make a fun show?". It was to borrow the franchise's fame and make a profit out of it. I don't like those kind of things. It is guaranteed to be bad. The reason I liked FiM in the first place was Ponies looked cute. It takes place in almost utopian world where I can escape form the real world for a while. The story and characters were interesting enough to cancel out my resistance against girly cartoons. and EQG didn't have all three of it. Characters looked awful. (almost in the uncanny valley. and their movement were uncanny too.) It takes place in a human world. The story couldn't possibly be good. (I presume) But during the hiatus, wanting to get involved more into the fandom, I watched the first movie. And it was awful. The story was The Phantom Menace level of awful. Every plot points, every ideas they chose seemed like there couldn't be more wrong than this. And I watched Rainbow Rocks. Surprisingly, I liked the shorts where Rainbow Dash makes a band. The movie was better than the first one, but like people said about "Revenge of the Sith", being better than a bad movie can't be a compliment. It was still awful for me. And I watched Friendship Games and The Legend of Everfree. And all the shorts. And Dance Magic, Movie Magic, Mirror Magic, Forgotten Friendship, Rollercoaster of Friendship. I think the problem with the movies is they make an awful plot. They have to make a demon to end the world and they have to make the Mane Seven to stop it like the Power Rangers. It would be better if they make it more obvious and expectable like Power Rangers but they didn't. Everything happens before is the excuse for the final battle and it is a badly written excuse. What interesting was I still think the movies are awful and repetitive, I liked the shorts. I even have more expectations on the new EQG than FiM season 9. Let me explain why. The whole premise of EQG franchise works better in the shorts than a long feature film. That's why. EQG is to make a human version of MLP. They even have a human version of every ponies. But human Fluttershy isn't THE Fluttershy. She act's like her, she speaks like her. Even if she went through the portal and turn into a pony, she still isn't THE Fluttershy. The difference is we don't have a same kind of emotional attachment because we were not with her. We didn't see her go through lots of stuff. So the characters don't have the same weight with the FiM characters in a movie. So expecting people to care about the character because she is Fluttershy doesn't work. The whole purpose of making it a extended franchise doesn't work in the movie's story. What might work is "What if there is a world where the human version of MLP characters? What would she act?" and that's exactly what the shorts do. We don't have a long-term serious world-ending-plot obligating characters what to do. We just have short 1-3 minutes of shorts free to whatever we want. Just seeing what happens in the human version of MLP. We don't have to get into the character and make it through the journey. We just see the short and say "That's what human Pinkie Pie would do!". That's why we are so excited whenever we see the portal. It's because it's an opportunity to see the familiar world interact with the new world. We like to see Pony Twilight meeting Human Twilight. We want to see Rainbow Dash riding Rainbow dash. We don't get excited seeing the new villainess floating in the air and causing armageddon. FiM used to be like a sitcom in early seasons and it works the best in that way. Nowadays they take themselves too seriously. In conclusion, both FiM and EQG works best in a sitcom way, FiM works better in the world ending scenario than EQG. There is another reason why I look forward to EQG more than FiM. It's about how they use and treat the new protagonist in the show. Starlight Glimmer and Sunset Shimmer. Most of the reasons people say why Sunset Shimmer is the best character is stupid. But there is a reason she works well. It's because she is one of the very three characters in EQG we get to know. The others are Pony Twilight and Human Twilight. And that's it. She's the best character of EQG. More like one of the only few characters of EQG. Let me list why Sunset works better than Starlight. Mostly, they both have the exact same problem but the difference is how much. Most of these problems are on season 8. Sunset is the most developed character in the show and appropriate for the main role. Starlight has to win Six mane characters and princesses and lots of others. She is the main character but she isn't ready. They both could be blamed for stealing Twilight's place but in EQG there is no "Twilight". Sunset is building up an interesting character while Starlight already ran out of her character faster than she built. Sunset herself can make an interesting episode while Starlight can't by her self. She has to be paired with Discord, Trixie, Maud, Twilight, etc. We don't know how Starlight would react. The only thing we can see how she would act is something related with her past as a reformed villain. The only trigger to bring emotion to Starlight is to bring up her past. For Sunset, they use relationship with six friends. Sunset is a vehicle we ride through the journey where we see in her position. Starlight is a convenient device of a collective ability of the Mane Six who solves the problem. Nobody can replace Sunset. For Starlight, it would make a more interesting episode if we replace her with Twilight or Spike or someone of the Mane Six. Sorry to be too critical to Starlight. I felt for her and rooted for her halfway through season 8. It's not just Starlight, it's about the show. I really liked Starlight Glimmer and really didn't care about Sunset Shimmer. But as the whole show goes, FiM is going downhill. And EQG, in despite of it's past's mess, it has infinite opportunities. That's the biggest difference between the two. Now I watch EQG because I got used to the visuals. (When Alien first came out, people were disgusted by it. But after time, some people even think they are cute.) The clothes are way better and the animation is more natural. The EQG world works better, and in a slightly different way. After they show the character's houses and their working place, I feel more comfortable in the EQG world. I don't watch EQG because of the story anymore. I just want to see them reacting to each other. (I care most about shorts.) Still, if the story sucks, I will be disappointed. I wish if they used all the effort making EQG into making FiM better instead. (Sunset is good, put her in FiM.)

Pinkie Pie in 'Too Many Pinkie Pies' : "Just trying to show a little consideration for my sleepy friend." Pinkie Pie in 'Yakity-Sax' : (BLOWS A YOVIDAPHONE IN MAX VOLUME IN FRONT OF FLUTTERSHY'S COTTAGE WHILE EVERYONE'S SLEEPING)

This season was unfocused and all over the place. It's like the story doesn't know where to go and moves back and forth. I hope they take more time carefully on writing and directing next season. It was the messiest season and my least favorite MLP season of all time. (even with the good subjects like 'The Mean Six', the execution: directing and pacing was off.) Oh, and do you know when to tell the story of a series gets bad? The main character multiplies. In this case it was the young six and the pillars. They do this because the writers think they can't find a way to do new things with the main characters. The young six and the pillars are a recycle and slight adjustment of the mane six archetype. Now they can't even do things with the most important new character they brought in in the first place. (Starlight) And the mane six becomes like a hivemind now. They don't act individually. I think the main reason the story is unfocused in this season is because they hire different writers with little time to work on. I think they don't gather around with other writers, director, editors etc. they don't have enough time to re-watch all the previous episodes either. And they don't have enough time to fix the script or exchange ideas. The writers are not involved deeply enough. The school of friendship could have been a nice idea to begin with, but it plays out more of a drag than an opportunity.

There are lots of less developed characters in the show because we can't and don't need to know everything about everybody. Minor roles have less development. (Of course the characters importance in the show can change.) I have no complaints about Shining Armor not showing development or his past. All we need to know is he is Twilight's brother and he is a captain of the royal guard and he is Cadence's husband. Revealing the character should work in the show. If there is no reason to do it (=just fan service) it can be a disaster. He's like Mr. and Mrs.Cake. Being a brother of the main character doesn't change. Just like Rarity's parents. If the show doesn't touch the subject, it's fine to me. I don't want to know about Spike's parents, why Applejack's parents died, young six's parents, the pillar's parents, princess Celestia and Luna's young ages, Cheerilee's development, Pie sister's development, who made the magical comics, Boulder's character development, Mayor Mare's character development, how Cadence became a princess, how Spitfire became a Wonderbolt, Diamond Tiara and Silverspoon's development, King Sombra's past... etc. I din't even needed Applejack's parents episode but they did a good job making a fun episode so I like it. Not because of the topic. So, if done properly, I don't mind seeing character's development but I don't mind if they don't either. The only problem for me would be A : They had no business developing it but did it anyway and the episode is horrible, B : The character is so important to the plot but yet that character is underdeveloped. (not necessarily talking about the character's past tho) The show's first concern should be 'how do we make a fun episode?' After that, the character's development should be relevant to the episode's topic or impossible to avoid any longer. The another problem is, pushing a character way deep in the story without developing it properly. Character's involvement without caring about the character itself, but only as a functioning plot device can make lots of weak and hollow characters. Character development is not about knowing it's past or knowing it's family. It's about the character grow in us. We care more about it. We can see how the character would have acted in a certain situation. We know that character. So, if the character needs a development, it means that character is more important to the show. I don't think Shining Armor is in this point. If they make a good Shining Armor episode, I'm 100% in.

Most of your adjustments are actually closer to the ideal version of what I thought of. About Spoiled Milk, she is very hard to work on since her purpose is to give Diamond Tiara, who is nothing more than a bully who bullies for the sake of bullying, an excuse and blame it on other pony so she can have redemption. The problem is, now we have a worse piece of sh*t! And like you saying, her existence reminds us of a cruel real world. Thats kind of a problem I had with Zephyr Breeze. Not that the show has to lack a reflection on real life,(heck, I would welcome if the show covers a topic about sex and death “if done properly”.) but those ponies existence fundamentally threatens the idea of the utopian world. (One of the biggest MLP’s identity is that it takes place in a utopia. They are magical candy colored ponies for ponies sake!) The only excusable threats are cute and fun and educational and eventually-ending-up-positive threats. Those I mentioned are too close to the bitter shitty real world. So, my attempt was to restore ponyville’s essence.

2. Yeah. It’s very fanfic material. 11A. It is like a heist movie where the good guys fool the bad guy. We see Chrysalis planning another evil plan and she sneaks into ponylille. There is sometging unusual going on, but since Chrysalis doesn't know anyone, she doesn't notice it. Only the audience does. We see Chrysalis gradually succeeding on her plans. The audience shouls feel like she might succeed and Equestria is actually doomed. Chrysalis should come up with the most clever way possible. And when almost done, it is a trap. Every pony she saw in this town was a changeling. Chrysalis gets away from it eventually, almost captured. 12. It would be awesome if her parents gives her some records, Rarity hesitates because of the cover art. Few days later, Rarity glimpses on the record at the table. Later on, when one of her friend visits, there is thunder blasting out of the boutique (like in Inspiration Manifestation when Rarity consumed by dark magic.) The door opens and loud noise knocks her feiend out, rarity power slides out of the door. 13. Yeah. More like in the future.

Tank you for your feedback. 1. I also thought of it so I tuned it down from owning the place into a senior apprentice who occasionally manages the place. The CMC's have their own career where they consult young ponies about their destiny and future life. They also have adult clients, so I think it is not very unnatural. Thinking Babs is too young is why Zephyr looks down of her(and his own cockyness) and it is the major conflict. Thats kind of the point. 10. What I ment by like aeason 1 preiere is A: It is about a new young protagonist going to a new place and gets (re)introduced by the mane six(five) one by one. B: I was thinking of the intro with the same artstyle and direction. It starts with the narration with Twilight’s voice explaining about the Mane Six and their current seperated state and ends with Flurry Heart’s voice ending the story. The episode starts with the similar structure. The difference is this episode has no villain to fight and focuses more on the Mane Six regaining their element. 13. Well, not redeeming makes her even worse. She has to at least try to make it up. I don’t mind if I never see her again tho. 14. The name Granny Pie and Nana Pinkie gave me the idea. And we don’t actually see her time travel on screen. I think it would be better if it is just suggested by Pinkie and not actually gets confirmed or just a cliffhanger suggesting it might happened. 16. Well, Twilight is very proud of her intellegance. It could start like Rollercoaster of Friendship where Sunset Shimmer and Twilight starts to get obsessed by the ring throwing thing. Twilight meets the unmovable object. Twilight getting angry like “It isn’t even a real word!” seems funny. Maybe Maud Pie and Zecora having a rhyming battle would be more interesting.

Ok, now I get it.

I always thought of the Mane Six forming a rock band, then when I finally watched the Equestria Girls series, I was excited and disappointed at the same time. This band might have Starlight as a bassist, Spike as a drummer? Tell me if you have a good idea.

Thank you for the feedback. 3. I was thinking of something like one-time collaboration thing. Scootaloo doesn't have to be a wonderbolt member. She can be by her own. Or make her own group. 4. Well, If it is called by species, it measn there is/was more than one creature of it's kind. He might still be unique because he was a complete different character back then and he is the last survivor of it's kind. 7. If you are referring Yakity-Sax, I think it is a complete different matter. And also the reason why Yakity-Sax was bad is because it was executed badly. And there was some nonsensical moments. If it was adjusted here and there, it might have been the best episode of the season. 9. I excluded Luna because she might be too calm. Or I was thinking her as a pair with Celestia in this group. Maybe Sunburst might be good to be in because I was thinking of a group of over-analyzing nerds. 10. Flurry Heart is the protagonist in this episode. And also she hates that she was born alicorn and destined to become a princess. She thinks being a princess is stupid and pointless, lame. But later on, she accepts for who she is and appreciates all the ponies around her, becomes a less bitter pony. (It would be fun to see her interact with different characters. Her flying buddy, her magic teacher, the one who she really lets her hearts out, etc.) 12. Well, people thinking that heavy metal would clash with her style is the major conflict in this episode. And yes, it is an expression of anger. Sometimes people need it. And also, her punk rock look on 'It Isn't the Mane Thing About You' is a surprise because it unexpectedly works so well. 15. It isn't a time travel. It's like 'When the Apple Lies' kind of remembrance episode. And combined with visiting old places like 'Amending Fences'. Pinkie just puts her memory together and figures out by her own.

I don't like wonderbolts but I think they need a good episode to redeem themselves. Get your point though.

Sonic Rainboom made me start to care about the shou, It was A Friend In Deed that made me a fan of the show. It shows what good ponies are about. Not just about introducing Pinkie Pie, It introduces Ponyville too.

Ok, thanks. First time writing something here.

1. Zephyr Breeze gets a job at a barber shop where Babs Seed is a manager. There could be Fluttershy /CMC's/ Rarity as a supporting role. The point of it is Babs Seed is way more mature and skillful than Zephyr, who is still cocky as hell. This episode could explore Babs's talent and make Zephyr take a lesson and become a better pony. 2. Applejack keeps getting a nightmare about the day her parents died, Luna has to go deep into her consciousness and let go of her guilt. There could be various reasons, one is simply survivor's guilt. Others can be something explains her obsession on Applebloom's safety. And might explain why Applejack is trying to be the most dependable pony of all time. Might explain her stubbornness. My intention is to explain some of Applejack's psyche. 3. Scootaloo faces the fact that she can't fly but Rainbow Dash helps her and lets her join the Wonderbolts as an honorary guest member. They put up a aero-terrene show together with Scootaloo on her scooter. This should have happened at like season 4. It is too late now, but this is kind of Scootaloo's "Fluttershy Leans In" episode. And I also wanted Wonderbolts to do some kind and cool stuff. (cause they don't.) I disliked Wonderbolts's behavior, so I also thought about a scenario where Rainbow Dash gets disappointed at the Wonderbonts after she joins in, she quits and asks Luna for permission to organize the Shadowbolts. In that scenario, Rainbow Dash is the leader of the Shadowbolts. 4. When draconequus ruled the world, ponies were lesser than toys to them. Young and the only kind draconequus Discord, finds Celestia and Luna, and becomes friends. While Discord introduces Celestia and Luna to the draconequuses, Celestia accidently makes them all extinct by teaching them to act normal. This is definitely not TV-Y materials. I also thought about a part after draconequus extinct, Discord gets resentful inside but still, demands Celestia to be his bride and rule the world as King and Queen. Celestia refuses, Discord turns evil but being goofy and playful to hide his pain inside. That's why since season 2, they Don't talk to each other that much. 5. Fluttershy gets her personality split into two by magic. (like Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde but two different embodiments.) One is kind but extremely shy, the other is bold and confident but agressive. First she likes it, then thing go wrong, Evil Fluttershy locks Wimpy Fluttershy in a cage. She gets help from Discord. Later on she learns a lesson that she has to live with two sides together. I just want a moment where Evil Fluttershy shouts "How does it feel to being locked up all the time?"and s*it. And just before Wimpy Fluttershy gets hit by a laser beam or something (yeah. you heard me. Evil Fluttershy is a embodiment of her aggression. Of course she can be like Tirek.) She shouts "Discord!" and boom. He appears, blocks the laser beam like nothing, saves the day. 6. Celestia and Luna protects Equestria from a threat before breakfast and since they are so good, the mane six doesn't even know that there was a threat at all. Rather than a mediocre repetitive premiere/ finale scenario, I'd prefer it handled this way. 7. Pinkie Pie finds a magical mushroom that makes her instantly happy but only to get isolated from her friends. (no side-effects like real life drugs though. She just keeps laughing at the inappropriate random moments, losing empathy) She later on finds out that nothing can replace a true friendship and happiness. Pinkie can be very smart and serious, but she is hyper excited and seeks fun, sometimes she hurts her friends (and even herself in this case) during the process. 8. Rainbow Dash hits a slump. Then she meets a flyer faster than her. Then she works hard and overcomes her slump. It's kind of synopsis boring on paper. I just wanted to give Rainbow some obstacle to overcome since she has nothing to do after joining the Wonderbolts. She is definitely the fastest pony in the world, but then the show doesn't make her do something more. Rainbow shines best when it's a physical episode. Lots of athletes, artist, scholars reach this point but life goes on and they have to keep trying to improve themselves. I'm thinking kind of a Rocky 3 scenario. 9. Celestia, Starswirl, Twilight, Starlight have a meeting in a castle and starts to estimate any possible danger in the future. (Like in the episode Celestial Advice but 4 different armageddon scenarios.) They get too serious, and Pinkie Pie jumps in, breaks all their estimations by just pointing out the obvious flaw in their logic while tumbling. And they all realize sometimes getting too serious and worrisome about the future can blind them from true happiness in the present. This episode would be like the episode on Batman TAS where the villains gather around and talk about the moment they almost got Batman. And then some. 10. A season finale where Flurry Heart grew up. (just like Twilight in season 1 premiere.) She has to find the scattered Mane Six and regroup them to regain harmony in Equestria. (like in Star Wars 7 or 20th Century Boy the manga.) They all forgot their true element by being busy. (Twilight being princess, Rainbow Dash being a head of the Wonderbolts Pinkie Pie disappears, etc.) Flurry Heart helps them remember what it was to be a true element. (And re-introduces the Mane Six.) It would work better in G5 premiere or something. But we all know that can't happen. 11-A. All the changelings turn into ponyville residents and tricks Queen Chrysalis. It's like Mission Impossible or The Sting kind of scenario. They predict Chrysalis's revenge and set a trap like that. This could be played out either way, the audience is in Chrysalis's position and knows nothing, or the audience gets to know everything all along. 11-B. Queen Chrysalis turns into a pony and sneaks into Ponyville. She tries to blend in, but ends up getting a friend who genuinely cares about her. Later on, Chrysalis reveals herself almost gets her revenge but hesitates because she found out that one friend is more valuable. She runs away and becomes a lone wandering refugee, occasionally mails the friend. I don't like her reformed so I made it kind of in the middle. She still hates the Mane Six and Starlight, probably the whole ponykind, but the only one she cares about is the one friend. It could play out like her friend stand between Chrysalis and Twilight. The friend tries persuade Chrysalis not to attack Twilight while still staying on her side even after Chrysalis reveals herself. Chrysalis is still in her black form. And she can't show up in public either. She is still an enemy of state. She would probably never see her friend again. It's kinda classic story archetype. (I came up with this thinking about Flufflepuff. But in this scenario, it isn't.) 12. Rarity forms a death-thrash metal band. Her friends worry about it. But she gives a lesson that what something appears to be isn't how that actually is. (both Rarity and metalheads) (She has a good growling voice tho) I want MLP to show some legit rock songs. (Brutal-scale can be between AC/DC and Morbid Saint.) 13. Diamond Tiara becomes the next mayor of Ponyville. Spoiled Milk fixes her relationship with her daughter. Making up with abusive mother can be an interesting subject. I actually don't care if the show never comes up with Diamond Tiara and Spoiled Milk, but if they do, they have to make it right. 14. Griffonstone gets awesome and Gilda becomes a center of griffon community. It's more like a wish list than an actual synopsis. Maybe ponies could re-visit Griffonstone. Maybe it could appear on other episodes. It would be awesome if Griffonstone changed so much since the last time we visited. 15. Pinkie Pie's memory of Granny Pie. She finds out that maybe Granny Pie is herself traveled back from the future. I'm thinking of her recalling old time memories. She could tell the past stories to Twilight. Most of her "Pinkieness" comes from Granny Pie (aka Nana Pinkie), so it could be told while doing all the awesome things she does. (like when she makes a ridiculously complex balloon animal, Twilight asks "where did you even learned to make all these kind of things?") The episode could start with a collection of those incidents and eventually, they come to a conclusion that everything Pinkie does are connected to Granny Pie. They try to find Granny Pie and ends up with something happening which the incident Granny Pie mentioned at the past. (ex "when I was younger, me and my bestest friend who is an alicorn princess tried to find my nana who used to foalsit me long time ago. turns out that it was myself from the future!" kinda thing) Twilight would say it makes no sense and Pinkie would be like "time travel is the easy part since I already did it!" It is just one of the possibilities of this synopsis could play out. 16. Twilight Sparkle and Zecora has a rhyming battle. Twilight gets upset that she studied her whole life about literature while Zecora didn't. This would totally depend on the writers ability. They have to come up with the best rhymes of all time and not being cheesy or annoying. It could be like "Pinkie Pride" without music or rhythm, more natural. (not a contest) And the rhyming part could be only a small proportion. The rest could be Twilight being "Feeling Pinkie Keen".
