What if the mane five turn into alicorns at the end of Season 5?

[cider float 2,535]

So what if the mane five all become alicorns at the end of season 5? Would it be appropriate to advertise the new alicornized mane five toys during the credits?

 

I mean what if the Cutie Map's purpose was to turn them into alicorns?

I don't think they'd flash the actual toy versions of the mane six during the credits; that's just tacky XD
That being said, I could see them airing a commercial after the credits end, though this would come off as overkill IMO: You just did a finale with the mane six as alicorns, you've already got the word out for the six as alicorns.

That being said, while I've always been a proponent of the mane six as alicorns idea since S1, I'm firmly of the belief that it will sadly *never* happen. The more the show's gone on past S2, the more concrete the evidence against it has seemed: If they DO change things in a status quo manner, they're going to make the changes be centered on twilight, not the others, such as giving her a kingdom with a population or increasing her princess status, not making the others alicorns.

I sadly must agree.. Princess Applejack was just a fantasy.

[IronM17 5,145]

I don't think they turned into Alicorns at end of the season. I must say, some of the mane 6 wouldn't be good alicorns. I mean, AJ or Dash as an Alicorn? I don't think that both are happy with this, especially Alicorns usually are princesses and Dash for example said that she won't be a princess. I think Fluttershy and Rarity would make good alicorn princesses, but for Rarity, I don't know why she would become a princess. Fluttershy turned Discord into a good person and that is in my eyes a big reason to become an Alicorn princess (I mean, twily only accomplished an old spell), but I don't think she would be happy as a pony who is always in the public and must speak loud in front of an audience.

 

On the other side, all mane 6 get an equal rank and not Twily alone over the other mane 6. But I don't think that the rest become alicorn princesses.

[Unlikeable Pony 2,698]

Well, I don't think the 5 would be bad "Princesses" given what princess entails in equestria though; While people think "Governmental ruler" when they hear princess, in equestria "princess" seems more of a title assigned to alicorns. Specifically, being a princess is more akin to a Greek god's role in that they watch over an aspect or task in the world, like Luna and the night/dreams or Twilight and friendship issues.

So while if the mane six were required to RULE over something, they'd be bad, but so would Luna: Heck, they even had a FF comic with celestia and Luna showing that while she CAN do it, Rulership isn't something Luna's really cut out for, as beaurocracy tires her out. But not all Princesses actually seem to have to rule in the world-- So rainbow dash or Pinkie pie wouldn't have to deal with government, but rather just keep doing what they've been doing all along, helping with threats to the world and handling areas that are their expertise, like pinkie with the yaks or whatnot.

Heck, in the comics Luna is basically a grown up rainbow dash in personality: If she's princess material, then so is dash by that right XD
The mane six would just leave the red tape to twilight, and twilight in turn would defer to them in situations involving their areas of expertise like fluttershy with magical creatures/animals or Rainbow dash with weather issues.

 

(do note that while I like to argue this point, its *not* happening, barring a huge change of direction in the how they want to aim the show)

[Cyandashie 128]

That would be really weird, because they wouldn't be ready for that until at least Season 7 or 8 (if they are on for that long).

 

Pinkie Pie and Applejack are still earth ponies. So unless the writers are in a rush, this idea might as well be debunked.

 

 

 

I think they should become alicorns by at least the end of the series.

I sure hope not. Six wrongs don't make a right!

On the note of this topic: I feel compelled to point out the upcoming toy information, though I am pretty much 100% certain those are just misleading toy lables or fake. (most probably package deal toys like how Gold lily was packed with pinkie)

I gotta agree HEAVILY about this not being something that the show would do until a later season: There's zero build up to it this season, so the mane six becoming alicorns would make ZERO sense for this season.

the plot revolves around cutie marks, and there's no hint at anything involving anything that might lead to or involve the other six ascending.
Like in S4, I could see how it was a possibility, with the box being designed for all six and it being an obvious rewards package of some sort (such as when it opened it would bestow it on them). But there's no hook like that this season.

 

S6 would have to have some sort of similiar task or macguffin introduced for the mane six to build up to alicorning them all.

Exactly.

 

 

 

If Twilight became an alicorn at the tip of Season 3, why would the rest of them become alicorns at the end of Season 5?

 

 

AND, just as in S5 E4, the CMC are searching for cutie marks. So this whole season (and also Season 4) must be about cutie marks.

Well, forget about that.

 

 

But, they can't all be princesses, currently there are 4. That would mean there would be 5 more, so that would equal 9 princesses.

 

What's next, all mares in Equestria become princesses?

If that happened, the fandom would blow up a million times again. 

 

But either way, I don't think that would happen and would find it incredibly weird if it did.

Good point. Fluttershy befriending the most powerful villain is in fact an even greater accomplishment than what Celestia, Luna or what Twilight did. She does deserve an alicorn change.

[MLPFanatic34 3,234]

I don't think that will happen, no offense but the mane five don't need to be alicorns.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 40,237]

I highly doubt that this will happen at the end of season 5. End of the show? Who knows at that point, but I can pretty much guarantee that season 5 will not have this event. Nothing about the cutie map seems to pinpoint towards and it just hasn't been leading up to anything at this point.

 

Now if it somehow did happen in the finale of this season, I will eat a sock. Or some popcorn. Either way, I will be surprised. I honestly would not mind this to happen as the grand finale for the entire show if justified, but with at least one more season coming after 5, I don't see it happening anytime soon.

If they become alicorns, I don't think they'll become the main rulers of a kingdom each. If they become princesses, they'll be the lesser ones like Prince Blue Blood, who's actually a duke, but they decided to the tittle of prince, because most of the target audience are unfamiliar with duke

Yeah, recent toys showed Flutters, AJ and Cheerilee as princesses, probably alicorns, and if we keep track of toys, big stuff like this usually ends up in the show on way or another. Canterlot Wedding, the Crystal Empiyah, Twilicorn,  and Rianbow Powah were announced as toys before later being in the show proper. Judging by the previous track line, they'll probably make them alicorns sooner or later, but not by this season, no foreshadowing, no build up for it, the toys were announced merely days ago..... No chance for Mane6 alicorns this season, but MAYBE in a later season, or the pony movie 

[Unlikeable Pony 2,698]

Yeah, recent toys showed Flutters, AJ and Cheerilee as princesses, probably alicorns,

 

All we've got is the *Name* of the toy via the listing though, no images. So we haven't been shown them as princesses yet, we just know there's a toy listed as "My little pony princess applejack doll"

So there's tons of loopholes around the princess thing to keep in mind; My little pony for example has had sets called "Princess dragons" before where they had Non-princess dragons that were simply packaged with Actual princesses. They could be doing a similar thing by doing Duo packs with a new princess character introduced with well known characters to insure sales: like Princess XXXX and applejack together in a package.

Due to the princess cheerilee listing, I'm highly skeptical anyone actually becomes an alicorn, and think its just a misleading name, yeah? Kind of like how they had toys listed under the "Crystal princess" moniker as a toyline for a while just due to the Toyline's name.

I think it'd be more akin to Princess luna IMO: she's a technical co-ruler with celestia, but she doesn't actually DO any ruling, leaving judicial action to Celestia. Same thing, Twilight would be the Actual ruler just like how Celestia is the actual ruler of the kingdom, but the other five would count as Co-rulers along twilight despite not doing any red tape.

Makes sense about your explanation of princesses and dragons, we shouldn't assume they'll become alicorns just because of the name because it might be. Though, I wouldn't rule it out just because Cheerilee is in it and it turns out they'll be alicorns. She, along with Cadance and some pony with a strawberry name I don't remember, also had their own rainbow power toys

[Kivil 1,721]

Honestly I really don't see Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Apple Jack becoming princesses just based off their personality.... If they do I will table flip.

I'd love it. celestia and luna need t retire and a council of six students of the ways friendship would be a perfect government type to replace an absoloute monarchy. btw where is king and queen? are celestia's parents dead or is celestia creator of all?

It would be a stupid decision to make; like, why? None of them needs or deserve to become an alicorn

[GeekySonic 1,150]

Hmm... I'm not sure if the rest of the Mane Six becoming Alicorns is plausible. I suppose it's possible, but not in season 5. That would be somewhat ridiculous in my opinion. Again, I would hold no complaints if it did happen (within reason), but during season 5? That would feel extremely rushed, and I'd be a little put off.

[Silver Letter 1,830]

It's an awful idea as I've said before in other threads. I sure won't buy any toys based on them. Hasbro can forget that.

Agreed for Season 5. There is absolutely ZERO hinting at it, the theme of the season is completely apart from it (Being focused on cutie marks and what their role is), and overall no real good way to alicornify the other 5.

They could introduce a meta-plot or macguffin in Season 6 that would make an alicorn plotline make sense, but as things stand, Season 5 seems completely absurd. The only possible link between making them princesses I could see would be that they have a throne around the map, and that's a definite stretch.

 

That being said, Season six is another ball game so we don't know what it will bring.

I'd be sure to buy quadruple to make up for you XD

(But no, seriously, I'd definitely buy a massive amount and donate them to charity simply because its what I've always wanted for an "engdame" finale to the series.)

The deserves bit I think arguments could be made against as the mane six have all worked just as hard as twilight to protect equestria, with them doing alot of great deeds themselves (Discord and fluttershy springing to mind).

The NEED bit I find more defensible, but at the same time there really wasn't much of a reason to alicornify Twilight either: Unless she gets a sizeable population to rule over, there's really nothing more she's doing that she wasn't doing before in S1 and S2.

[Grepper 3,192]

I don't mind Twilicorn that much, but this would just be over the top.
