ManaMinori 4,146 October 19, 2014 Share October 19, 2014 How would fans like to see a Big Mac episode done like Zen and the art of gazebo repair, IDW's comic, that features Big Mac in a more narrative aspect? Maybe AJ or Sweetie belle could stumble upon Big Mac's journal, narrating its entries aloud through the entire episode, and we see Big Mac going through his slice of life episode, in sort of a recap/ flashback sort of thing, and by the end of the episode, Big Mac finds one (or both) of his sisters reading his diary, and an important lesson is learned about either not snooping through pony's stuff and sharing it with others, or being more open to share those secrets with family and friends. What do y'all think? Should the “big brother ponies” be given a little more spotlight in coming seasons? same with Shining Armor and Twilight. (and maybe Flim and Flam, too? and hopefully, Vinyl Scratch and Long Play, even!) 1 Under the Jellicle Moon- a site with cuteness, cat boys, and comic strips / Star Dreams Fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychedelicPony 440 October 19, 2014 Share October 19, 2014 I'd really like to see that, but I don't know if they could pull Big Mac off keeping his eeyup and nope typecast as it seems integral to his character and we've only seen him talk out of spell influence and singing Sig by The Frozen Pegasus Avatar by Royal Samurott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace O. Jade 122 October 19, 2014 Share October 19, 2014 I think there was an announcement somewhere that one of the episodes in Season 5 was going to focus on the lives of some of the background ponies. Someone wanna find that for me? Anyways, I'd love a Big Mac-centric episode. His relationship with Cheerilee should be explored more. We learned from a Season 5 animatic that Big Mac is a "Hoofball" fan, and I'd love to know more about his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wind Chaser 4,768 October 19, 2014 Share October 19, 2014 (edited) It's a great idea, and I'd love to see it, but I hate to be the bearer of bad news. Due to the way Hasbro markets this show, it would be an uphill battle to get an episode like this done. Lauren Faust has stated that there indeed was a plan floated among the writers for Big Mac to get a prominent role in an episode of Season 1. You can guess where that plan went. :okiedokielokie: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/01/cancelled-big-mac-episode-idea.html Edited October 19, 2014 by Nightwind Boreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearheadWilliams 64 October 19, 2014 Share October 19, 2014 A slice of life episode about Big Mac would be pretty cool. I'm more interested in seeing what is of Shining Armor's life, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(who might also be a fan of MLP). It wouldn't hurt to branch out marketing to them, too. Even if to teach the younger audience of little girls how to more easily deal with situations involving their brothers. Two of the mane 6 have brothers, and they should give a little more attention to them. If they didn't want to, they wouldn't have even made male characters at all. But now that they're there, they have tons of potential and need to be utilized. 1 Under the Jellicle Moon- a site with cuteness, cat boys, and comic strips / Star Dreams Fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DormantAccount 308 October 19, 2014 Share October 19, 2014 What if by some contrivance Big Mac and Shining Armor meet and go on some sort of journey, with corn dogs and slushies and fruit jerky. Or maybe on a more serious note we get Twilight visiting Shiny and due to some events keep getting distracted. In the end they do get to spend time somehow.

Tao 8,522 October 19, 2014 Share October 19, 2014 I would love to have the Big Bro's get some more love and spot light time if anything to learn more about them and dive more into what they are like behind the little snips we get here and there! Like with Armor, he sort of just popped up in season two! And we had peeks into his traits and such more in season 3 but just a bit.... Mac, hes one those ponies I'd love to see a day in his life was about.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManaMinori 4,146 June 7, 2015 Author Share June 7, 2015 Since it appears that Hasbro is having Vinyl share all her screen time with a certain cello-playing pony, much to my distaste, I guess we won't be seeing Vinyl with her big brother for the 100th episode....dang. Not thrilled about that Stinkin' Octavia....

RarityFan01 2,444 June 7, 2015 Share June 7, 2015 I think there should be more focus on male ponies to be honest. Put them in a positive light. G1 Did that, G1.5 had some good males. G4 can have good male ponies, too. Not all males are ill mannered and gross. 1 Rarity Fan Club My Ponysona My Drawing of Rarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Awesome One 1,315 June 7, 2015 Share June 7, 2015 Suddenly I want to see a Soarin-Big Mac-Breaburn-Shining Armour slice of life episode. Unfortunately that will never happen because Hasbro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

221BTardisSt 101 June 8, 2015 Share June 8, 2015 I think I'd have a new favorite episode if we had a Big Mac episode. It could be hilarious to have Big Mac's thoughts spoken aloud and then hear his reply of "Eeyup" or "Nope" depending on the situation. I would like a flashback episode of Twilight and Shining Armor as kids, but I don't think I want an episode of him as an adult. I'd rather see Flash Sentry!

The Awesome One 1,315 June 8, 2015 Share June 8, 2015 well, we've had a Spike SoL episode before.... Maybe we just might get one with the male ponies?? Yes but Spike is still a male which is why I included him in the group. Plus we'll never get an episode with just male ponies for obvious reasons and we can only hope.

manic 121 June 9, 2015 Share June 9, 2015 I loved Braeburn in his (rather failed) big bro role to the CMC. Just wish there was a bit more interaction than him falling asleep and the CMCs running off though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just might get a big brother, all make pony episode sooner than you think 1 Under the Jellicle Moon- a site with cuteness, cat boys, and comic strips / Star Dreams Fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
