Twilight is still shown at the front in the promotional material so I wouldn't recommend getting your hopes up, and there's a good chance of EG being put on hold for a while as they have to develop the theatrical movie (that's actually about ponies) for 2017.

 

Promo material can be decieving; Sunset wasn't even ON the Rainbow rocks promo material, yet ended up being the closest thing to the mane character of that movie that we had since the plot revolved heavily around her growth as a character (compared to none of the others really growing in any special way).

 

And Sunset has been presented in juxtposition next to Twilight in the images we've gotten too, so she's definitely being more heavily pushed this time. (Not to mention they made friendship through the ages revolve around her plus she got My past is not today pushing her for the target audience).

I wouldn't be so sure of that, they have all spark productions to handle the 2017 movie, with alot of outside talent working on it instead of the original team; I don't think it'll eat in as much as we'd think to the normal staff.

That doesn't mean anything, you said it yourself Sunset wasn't even on the RR poster, and creators trying to make audiences like a character is pretty standard last time I checked, so again I still don't think it means anything. And if I recall correctly I believe that studio was just funding the movie not producing it. I'd recommend we stop this as it's just spamming up this topic.

Well said mate. Well said.

You talking to me (if so thanks)?

[CinnamonPop 3,353]

Well, I want to see more puns by Pinkie. I've really enjoyed the randomness that gives Pinkie her character.

I was just thinking today about how we're in for a new episode centered with Pinkie. It's been a little while since the last one, after all. 

 

As for my season 5 hopes: the return of Chrysalis. I can dream. Yes, I can dream.   

[The Awesome One 1,315]

I want to see the Wonderbolts again. With Spitfire having her old voice and some character development. Maybe something about Soarin's love of pies as well.

[Brainstorm 4,112]

There are something's I wish:

 

1. Daring Do coming to Ponyville meeting Spike the Dragon, showing that she can tell Spike's a good dragon.

 

2. Coco Pommel coming to Ponyville

 

3. The Main Six and Spike going to the Griffin Kingdom.

[MAIKUN 262]

Well according to some user on the MLP wiki named GoldenLine: He apparently made a whole lotta predictions for the rest of the episodes in Season 5. But the point is: The episode titles appears to be leaked and of course fake. And yes I know the CMC won't be getting their marks and besides we will be getting a sixth season and an All-Pony movie in 2017, so don't worry right now, alright? Plus, in case if the CMC doesn't get their marks, it's time for a slice-of-life CMC spinoff series. 

 

I'm gonna say this again: The leaked episode titles and synopsis for each upcoming episode from 9 to 26 are 100% fake. And yes I do NOT trust that 4chan website.

 

Here's my PROOF that the leaked episode titles is fake: http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Epicalaxy_Master/Leaked_Season_5_episode_titles%3F_(discussion)

[Treehugger 19]

My hopes for the rest of Season 5:

 

- Cutie-mark-Crusaders get their Cutie-marks.

It's honestly been fun watching Sweetiebell, Applebloom and Scootaloo search for their

special talent but I think they should put that arc to a close before it gets too repetitive.

 

- Derpy Hooves appears in an episode or two with actual lines!

 

- Treehugger becomes an occasional appearance-Pony. 

 

- An episode that focuses on a Pony's background/ many Ponies backgrounds. (e.g. before Ponyville)

 

- One of the mane 6 develops a relationship.

I like the idea of the Mane Six expanding their circle of friends. It seems suitable, and could make for some good stories. I also agree about the CMC, though I'm really unsure of how that's gonna turn out.

Wouldn't it be funny if the got the CMC logo as their cutie marks? For helping others find theirs?

[Singe 2,111]

Pinkie Pie gets hooked on gambling. It starts off for fun then she gets obsessed with it.

[AmberDust 1,118]

So, in latest episode, the cutie map only sent Pinkie and Rainbow on a quest. Maybe the other matchups could be...

Applejack and Fluttershy, who need to interact more imo

And

Twilight and Rarity, the two magic users.

Although I'm not sure what their quests will be. It seems like any of the mane six could have done the quest RD and PP were sent to do...

True, any of the mane six could have done the quest. But Pinkie and RD are the obvious choice because of their past with Gilda. It wouldn't have been the same if the others went.. although I was a little disappointed that Twilight didn't go..

So, what do you think he other map quests would be? If they all relate to someone in their past. Maybe Trixie?

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,162]

Hmm, we have a cyclops ram in the griffin episode, and look to the south on the map.

 

 

Maybe land of the rams? Possible G4 Grogar?

[bumperappledash 8]

Honestly, I hope that when this show ends, it has a really good, solid ending, like Toy Story 3 (I'm sadly aware of Toy Story 4) and the mane six were all to become something more important, something ponies can rely on, or princesses (but not Alicorns, or living in castles).

[MAIKUN 262]

Is it true in Season 5 that Rarity is going to move her business to Canterlot in order to become famous and successful? And what about Rainbow Dash being a Wonderbolt and Twilight becoming Celestia and Luna's successor?

strange, no promo for next episode yet 

[Megas 27,823]

 

GIVE THEM AN EPISODE TOGETHER ALREADY

 

[Harshreality 60]

A while back there was a leak from the card game confirming "nightmare star" for the show, along with a picture. There was also a leak telling of a Luna nightmare episode, along with the return of nightmare moon. Given that the next episode is almost certainly a Luna one, I am predicting an epic Nightmare Star VS Nightmare Moon fight scene. This will be AWESOME

Not sure where this whole "Nightmare Moon returns" thing came from (she did "return" in S4 as a flashback), but the "Princess Luna nightmare" thing was no leak; it was an announcement at last year's SDCC. As for the "Nightmare Star" card, I don't know if that's a screenshot from the upcoming episode or a piece of fan art, because the TCG has used fan art for some of its cards before (though those other fan art examples may have already been made public before getting used on the cards).

 

I also know Nightmare Star was deliberately teased on Twitter as some kind of spoiler, and the cards have had many spoilers before. Let's just hope this particular spoiler isn't something that could be misinterpreted; people thought Cheese Sandwich would be showing up in "Party Pooped" because his card mentioned Yakyakistan.

[Comet Tail 808]

Given this season's focus on Cutie Marks, "Bloom and Gloom," "Appaloosa's Most Wanted," and other CMC shenanigans, I'm honestly somewhat suspicious that the CMC's may earn their cutie marks in the finale.

 

But at the same time, Starlight Glimmer is still out and about, so they'll probably need to resolve her plot line, too, which may take the place of the CMC's chance to finally earn.

Afraid not y'see the CMC will ALWAYS be "Forever Blank Flanks" no matter who they really are.

In other words, I'm not really convinced. Your statement needs some supporting argument

[Sidral Mundet 1,666]

My prediction on the season finale based on the leaked synopses of the episode: 

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

So my thought on how it will go down is we'll get a short little intro scene explaining that Twilight is going to give a lecture on friendship and cutie marks at some big meeting as is nervous, while Spike comforts her and Starlight Glimmer looks on scheming.  We then get the speech and the Starlight spotlight as Twilight comes home.  Twilight tries to reason with Starlight, but Starlight's having none of it and explains that she found the magic DeLoran/TARDIS McGuffin in the cave when she fled to after the Cutie Map and wants revenge on Twilight and will do so by  changing her history.  After she activates the device all three of them, Twilight, Starlight and Spike, fine themselves in the past before the Sonic Rainboom.  Starlight runs off and Twilight pursue, losing her.  Twilight realizes what Starlight's going to do and try to prevent her, but at the same time making sure not to alter the timeline (yet doing so in subtle ways) However, when Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom comes up, Twilight fines that she can't stop Starlight and the Rainboom is not preformed. Now that the timeline has been altered, Twilight fines herself back in a new present, where she is no longer a alicorn, has a different cutie mark, she never meet any of the Mane 6 and Sunset Shimmer is a princess and Twilight's her assistant, ending part 1.

Part 2 opens with Twilight figuring out what's going on. Equestria is worse for wear in this universe but not a dystopia or terrible, just that things didn't go as smoothly as it did with Twilight and the Mane 6.  Sunset Shimmer, being more selfish than her EQG2 persona but more understanding than her EQG 1 self, tries to figure out what's going on with her assistant   Twilight explains the regular universe and how things are suppose to be, with Sunset scoffing her, until she sees a massive equalist army approaching, lead by Starlight, who also remembers the original universe. Sunset and her own Mane 6 try to battle them, but Starlight somehow possesses Twilight's original cutie mark and owns them. Twilight and Sunset are able to make their escape and realize that they need to get back the Mane 6 to try to defeat Starlight.  The two soon come across the remaining Mane 6, all in miserable positions in life and relatively friendless. Twilight tries to explain how they were all good friends and how things use to be, but the others are too cynical from their own experiences to believe her. Starlight then fines the Mane 6 and Sunset, wanting to erase them from her perfect utopia. Sunset battles her, giving the Mane 6 time to retreat to the Tree of Harmony and a chance to fix the universe, scarifying her existence in this universe, knowing what will happen to her in the universe proper.  Twilight tries in vain once more to get her friends to see how good of friends they can be, but has no proof.  However, someone claims that he has the proof Twilight was looking for.  An adult Spike enters, as since he had no body to go back to when the timeline was altered, he carried on as an anomaly inside the new universe.  He brings forth the backpack fill with all the stuff Twilight used in her presentation earlier, which contains something for everyone of the Mane 6.  These artifacts of their friendship remind them of what they were as Starlight appears. Spike does battle with her as Starlight wishes everyone would just get out of her way with Spike saying that so long as his friends are in trouble, he'll never give up.  This being the final push, the Mane 6 gain the "Cutie Mark Magic TM" and use the rainbow it creates to restore their cutie marks, reset the timeline and return things to normal.  The Mane 6 overlook a defeated Starlight, who finally break, asking why ponies just could accept her way of thinking, Twilight proclaiming friendship isn't about just blind obedience, that the friendship you make is equal to the friendship you take, that part of them is inside of you and you a part of them. Cue uplifting song and credits.
