Hey guys, I've noticed that each season before season 5 has followed a set formula for character episodes/ Season 2 and 4 all basically have:

1) 4 two part episodes

2) 2 episodes for each of the mane six

3) Two CMC episodes

4) Two Spike episodes

5) Two mane six full cast episodes

 

It appears they are trying to break this mold now in season 5, but there are still many SECONDARY characters that deserve their own episodes. I repeat, this is not for your own dime a dozen "Background characters and LUNA need more episodes", but actual characters that deserve more time. Here are some ideas of mine...

 

1) Big Mac DESPERATELY needs an episode, as so far we have seen little from him as a character.

2) Shining Armor/Cadence needs more time focusing on their relationship, or they could go another route and show Shining Armor's history with Twilight, and their deeper relationship.

3) Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon need focus on their relationship, and I for one would live for Silver Spoon to at least be redeemed.

4) Princess Celestia also NEEDS an episode. All we have seen so far is the blank, perfect princess and the occasionally bit of fun. We need deeper insight to her character. Give her an episode on her day off, or her struggling to cope with her duties. Just SOMETHING.

5) I would love to see an episode clearing up what exactly happened 1000 years ago. I would love to see something of the REAL Starswirl, in addition to clearing up Sombra some more. He seriously needs fleshing out.

6) Whilst this is already being touched upon slowly, I want to see more PARENTS. We have only had small glimpses at the parents of Rarity, Twilight and Pinkie, but I want to see an actual parental relationship episode, preferably with Rainbow Dash, Twilight or Fluttershy, or just clearing up what happened to Applejack's parents.

 

Do you guys have any ideas? Which characters would you like to see? We could get an awesome thread going here, and I would love to hear your ideas on both what you want to see, and what you don't...

I really want a Celestia episode, we have had a few Luna ones, now it's surely her time to have the limelight!

 

Parents would always be fun, don't forget that we might have seen Rainbow's dad:

I loved how Rarity's parents were so unlike her, but it would be good to have some interaction with their other 6's parents (including a backstory on AJ like you said, but I doubt we will ever get this unfortunately  :( )

I agree with most that you said, especially for Celestia. If I'm not mistaken, the recent MLP panel at SDDC briefly discussed that she needs an episode. I'm glad that they're aware, so perhaps in Season 6, this can happen.

 

Shining Armor and Cadance need some build-up as well. I remember a few users suggesting an episode with him and Spike, which is a great opportunity to stretch on his personality, as well as Spike; the dragon working well with other characters.

 

I also want to see more parents as well. It'll be a bit humorous and overall a good time if done correctly. Just imagine the different characters that'll be there, communicating with one another.

Exactly. All of these ideas could work if done well.

Thinking about it, I'd like to know Scootaloo's story too, i.e. where are her family (are they in Ponyville and we just haven't seen them yet or what?)

I feel like Celestia deserves one more than anypony else. She's an important and awesome character but I don't think she's ever had an episode focused on her :huh:

Out of all the characters in the show I have to agree that Celestia needs an episode dedicated to herself the most.   I really want to see some character development out of her and actually learn more about her and her backstory.  I like Princess Celestia and she deserves to have her time to shine.  Hopefully there will be a Celestia episode in season 6.

I think we desperately need an episode, or maybe a movie even, about the history of Equestria and the princesses, how Cadance earned her horn, Tia and Luna's parents, and just history. We know a lot of stuff happened "1000 years ago", but not much of what happened when, and what caused what. I would like to see more glimpses of Discord's reign. I really want to learn about Tia and Luna's parents and how Tia and Luna came to power.

Every princess has at least 2 episodes focused on them, so why Celestia doesn't have any episode where she's one of the main characters? Since she is the main princess and is supposed to be like a mother to the mane 6, it's understandable that it would be harder to make an interesting episode about her (even as a secondary character she seems difficult to write for), but i'm sure that the MLP has writers talented enough to figure something out, I mean, the BG ponies have little to no personality (even the fandom given personalities are pretty bland), yet they could make very interesting episodes based on them.

I think that I worded this poorly, but that's how I feel about Celestia  :adorkable:
