If a character was to die in MLP who should it be?

[Celli 4,338]

I will reiterate what I said.

Wanting a character dead because you hate them is extremely shallow.

[L1ghtn1ng_Flash 213]

Of the mane 6 it would have to be Rarity, she is my least favorite and reminds me to much of my crazy ex girlfriend. Sorry to all those fans of rarity but I find her about as Interesting as a Grain of Sand on a beach.

[Goat-kun 2,527]

Who has the highest bounty?

IMO, I'd Say Celestia for thematic reasons.
The old guard stepping aside for the younger generation to take over would work as a final closing to twilight's arc with celestia entrusting Equestria to her and possibly even the other five as well.

I kind of feel that if the show ever has a definite "End", celestia leaving the mortal world behind would be a nice final bit.

 

 

 

After that, Rainbow dash. She's cocky, brash and the element of loyalty so she's dedicated to others above all else. As such, I could easily see dash doing a heroic sacrifice and staying behind to hold off or fight a much more powerful foe in an act she knows is basically suicide; a fight that she couldn't win but that she'd know she'd have to do anyways in order to protect others.


I could also see twilight performing a spell of some type that would drain her life force and cause her to expire, with her doing it regardless in order to fulfill her duties as a princess in order to stop a villain.

 

 

Wait a second. I thought Lauren Faust said you can't even HAVE death in My Little Pony.

But if I had to guess, I'd go with Celestia or Luna sacrificing herself for the savior of Equestria.

Twilight, because main character and it would make some interesting story line. She goes missing then turns up losing her memory completely changing her personality forever. Her personality dies and she becomes a whole new pony. A pony named Fred who enjoys the finer things in life like grilled cheese.

>Trixie becomes the new element of magic in her place

[PacificGreen 1,163]

Probably one of the older characters. Like Granny Smith or Uncle Apple Streudel. Then there could be an episode about the Apple Family making a memorial to him/her. Unfortunately, that's likely to be deemed too sad for a show like this.

[M'gann M'orzz 745]

Obviously Luna is gonna like trip on a banana peel and cut herself on her own Edge so bad that she just bleeds out on the spot.

[Snake 516]

Granny Smith. She's been around a mighty long while.
She's gonna keel over one day or another.
I'll miss ya granny.

[Summer Breeze 2,528]

i think granny smith, she is the most amazing old lady ever but she is old you know, and it would give some amazing story opportunities like: AJ going trough a depression and the others helping her to get over it.

[Steve Piranha 29,428]

-Celly would be my first thought: being a caring and beloved ruler for at least a thousand year, would be heartbreaking 

-Grany Smith: She's already old, and due to how close the Apples are.....

 

Out of the mane6: Fluttershy would cause the most uproar among the fandom due to being the moe poneh in the group, but I think Twi's, Dashie's, Pinks', and Rares' deaths would be worst for the show: Twi's would be the loss of their leader, Dashie for not fulfilling her dreams, Pinks' for missing the most cheerful pony, and Rare's probably due to a self sacrifice of generosity 

[Lambdadelta 1,462]

Any villains death will work for me (Sombra, goat cyclop .etc). 

[M'gann M'orzz 745]

I honestly would barely even notice if Fluttershy died at this point.

[Pinkiest Pie 405]

I'd rather a character not die, but instead show flashbacks of characters dying, for example AJ's parents, being shown how they died.

We don't know anythong about them dying, infact we know nothing about them at all, just let AJ has Granny Smith to take care of the family. Just because they never appear on screen does not mean they are dead.

[Chronamut 355]

that really really old man that's seen as being on a "date" with bulk biceps in the season finale where twilight has to fix starswirls beard

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,611]

Definitely Celestia. The amount of emotional impact this would have on all of the other characters would be rather huge and that would justify the point of it. 

[Aurora Storm 83]

I hesitate to comment on this because it's my first official post and it's a rather contraversial one but despite my love of RD I really think she could have a meaningful death.  Being the element of loyality and a pony of action, I could easily see her putting her life on the line to save any of her friends, especially Twilight or one of the Princesses and if she was ever a full fledge Wonderbolt, being that they're kind of Equestria Military (I think?) it would make sense that she would be put in a position that could have that result.

 

If I was a fanfiction writer, I'd write something about this. Maybe incorporating Scootaloo in there some how. She'd finally learn to fly herself, and then have to come to terms with this....leading to her having to decide if she wants to carry out her dreams of being like her role model or going down a safer path. Someting like that.....

Haven't you seen all the episodes? If not, season 5 episode 18 has this. (Major spoilers, it's a show changing episode! Watch it first if you haven't already!)

 

In season 5 episode 18, the CMC get their cutie marks and then AJ says ''If your parents were here, they would be so proud''. If their parents were alive, they could just simply send a letter.

 

[Alex Z 848]

None. If any of the characters in the show die, the parents of the children who watch the show are probably gonna start bitching about it and will be like the whole "Last Roundup" situation and the animators will have to re-edit and re-write the episode.

[ManaMinori 4,145]

Sunbutt

They fake out killed her in the flashback of NMM. They should just go all the way.

It can be just like transformers the movie!

Well the parents can b**** and complain all they want, Hasbro doesn't have to make it child appropriate. They can even make the show appeal to the cloppers if they wanted. They make the show however they want.

[KillerKingBakudan 702]

Only pony who should die is Starlight Glimmer. She's an asshole. And nobody in Equestria is gonna miss her.

Going to be honest, I kind of get the feel they started aiming the show at a much older audience than they started with anyways. Alot of the later stuff and EQG stuff seems innappropriate for the 4 year old audience they were shooting for initially and make playskool toys for.

 

 

Not sayings it "UBER MATURE!" but I do kind of feel they aren't really focused so much on whats appropriate anymore. Though that might just be a changing landscape in what's "Appropriate" for kids (like the amount of killing and nightmare fuel in the current TMNT show)
