ManaMinori 4,145 February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 First of all....SHOULD they? (I mean, Bronies and all. And I could see it making them money, if they tried to branch out and offer something more than non-show-accurate toys for little girls, if they made a branch series to appease the older fanbase, product-wise) How do you think this series aimed towards boys would differ from MLP:FIM? Who would be the mane 6? Would they be stallions or colts? (I could easily see the Mane 6 lineup being Snips, Snails, Rumble, Spike, Featherweight, Pipsqueak) 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...
That One Pone 584 February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 Quite honestly this would remove what makes the Brony fandom special. It probably would not have the same sort of vibe to it. And what would it be composed of exactly? Stallions who need to find a way to get a pint of cider? 2 Zeusking19 - Poniverse Developer and SysAdmin "No DDR machines were harmed in the making of this post."

Moonlight 7,288 February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 No they shouldn't. The regular show is made to be enjoyed by anyone, no matter the gender, and creating a show focusing solely on males seems unfair for the show to say the least. And mane 6-wise, Cheese Sandwich, Big Mac, Shining Armor, Caramel, Time Turner, and Spike I guess. Still creating a male-centered pony show is pointless. 8 matching setups with my bff pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dulset Tarn 441 February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 It would be called Friendship is Magic and it would also be for girls and parents too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlutterAether 421 February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 Waste of money and would only cause contradictions, why are males attracted to MLP? The sweetness, cute and life morals it teaches to us, having a male only version would segregate the fandom though that doesn't mean they can't be in the same MLP universe maybe an episode catered to those characters you enlisted would be interesting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastel 7,630 February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 That's a bad idea, the show already has a male and female audience. Don't forget the characters are ponies because "girls like ponies", 6 main male characters would be contradictory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Testa 5,505 February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 Could it be directed by Michael Bay? lol I joke I think the great thing about mlp is the fact that it can appeal to both genders and even more importantly that it portrays females in an interesting dynamic way. This may sound weird, but even a lot of movies and shows aimed at adults cannot seem to figure out how to write good female characters. Could they bring in more masculine elements? Sure, but I wouldn't want to lose what makes this show so unique and interesting. If I were to do a dude mane six though (for an episode anyway) my line up would be Big Mac, Spike, Soarin, Shining Armor, Fancy Pants, and Braeburn. http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Billy%20G%20Gruff http://billyggruff.deviantart.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPVpSXbUpDYTcaFHTPiPjYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megas 27,819 February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 I can't see it working unless enough people are fine with a spin-off purely starring Spike and Discord as they're probably the only male character in the show with a decent amount of development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Letter 1,832 February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 I would be against it. MLP should be for both sexes equally and there is nothing that can make it more palatable for males.

VitalSpark 1,830 February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 (edited) No, they shouldn't. But if you want a male Mane 6, then the best way would be to come up with a male counterpart for each of the original Mane 6: Twilight Sparkle → Shining Armor Applejack → Big Mac or Braeburn Fluttershy → Discord? Pinkie Pie → Cheese Sandwich Rainbow Dash → Thunderlane or Soarin' Rarity → Fancy Pants Edited February 17, 2015 by VitalTwilightSparkle ~VitalSpark~ [fimfiction] [deviantart] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sold! Discord is such a fun character, and it would be a great way to develop Spike, maybe have him learn some more mature skill... 1 You better believe I've got chill up my sleeve!My Hypno-Fluttershy Journal Click Here to chat with my friends and I on IRC!

ThatOneComrade 1,091 February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 1. They won't. 2. They shouldn't, since I doubt Bronies alone could keep it afloat for long. 3. The show would just divide the sexes again, right after males tried so hard to be accepted for liking something that's traditionally feminine. And even if the show was created, it'd still be a feminine show, just with male characters. What's the point of that? 1 href="/monthly_02_2014/post-8308-0-69609200-1393191794.png"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VulpineTaco 525 February 18, 2015 Share February 18, 2015 Nah, they wouldn't and shouldn't do it. But, I wouldn't mind seeing some more male-centric episodes, to help flesh out the characters.

Steel Accord 6,660 February 18, 2015 Share February 18, 2015 I mean, I can see them doing an episode with Spike, Breaburn, Big Mac, and others. I don't see why they should dedicate an entire separate series for this one idea. Really this seems rather . . . what's the word? Superfluous. This show is already amazing as it is and the central characters are already all interesting and likable. Why does there need to be a separate show with a chiefly male cast? A good character, is just a good character, regardless of their gender. 1 My ponysona: http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/steel-accord-r1970 My AMA thread: http://mlpforums.com/topic/76698-as-steel-me-andor-oc/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
