Would Twilight's Brother and Applejack's Brother Be Good Friends?

[Nylon 158]

I doubt they even know each other, but what would you think personally? Would get along fine or do they have too many differences?

[Biggybrony 244]

Shining Armour would make a good effort but Big Mac would be so shy and quiet that eventually the awkwardness would be too much and he'll leave.

[J. Brony 313]

Yes.

 

One of my most fervent desires in a future episode would be seeing Shining Armor, Big Mac, Prince Blueblood and Spike getting together for a road trip while the Mane 6 are busy doing friendship things.

I would say so. Both are very good older brothers so that's one thing they could bond over!

@Bored2death, just letting you know that I've moved your thread to the Show Discussion section, since it asks a question involving characters from the show

 

They seem like they'd get along decently enough on an acquaintance level ("My sister's friends with your sister, how about that?"). As for anything beyond that, it's hard to tell. The Mane Six prove that friends don't need to have much in common, but I don't know if they'd gel with one another any better than they'd gel with anybody else who happens to be an older brother.

Well, the way i see it, and the way i'll handle it in my story Crystal Clear Bonds, is that Big Mac might be awkward around Shining Armor at first, himself being a simple Earth Pony farmer and Shining Armor being a rather powerful Unicorn who is both a prince and Captain of Celestia's royal guard, as well as being married to an Alicorn princess and being the brother of an Alicorn princess. However, he'd soon see Shining Armor for the laid-back, down-to-earth guy he really is, maybe even finding something else in common with him.

I think they could be friends, yes.

[cmarston1 5,963]

Possibly.  I might actually want to see that happen now.

[FrozenSpark 47]

One loves the simple country life the other is captain of the royal guard, I wouldn't bet on it

[Malinter 3,064]

Both are BBBF's to their sisters so I would say they would.

 

Both work hard at what they do. Sure Shining cries like a baby but we all know the Apples cry on the inside. XD

Everypony gets along ^.^ So yes  

[UnknownFry 169]

I don't see why not as both of those two see to be amicable ponies.

[MLPFanatic34 3,241]

I don't see why they wouldn't get along and hang out together.

This. I need this episode in my life. Now.
