Mand'alor Dash 2,224 January 28, 2016 Share January 28, 2016 Season 6 would turn out fantastic. "I am Completely Original Character. You can call me COC, for short. Bask in the unparalleled splendor of COC. Let COC fill you with the warmth of friendship and love. I may appear to be larger than most ponies, but only COC will stand tall and firm in the face of adversity." 2 Amoral cynic with a bitchin' vocabulary.

Johnny1226 14,674 January 28, 2016 Share January 28, 2016 The show would branch off into many different directions like the fan fictions it would be an interesting idea definitely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celli 4,338 January 28, 2016 Share January 28, 2016 Well, there are some fans who would do a god job of keeping the true spirit of the show, but overall, most fans would take it into inappropriate fanfiction territory. So, yeah, it would be a bad idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider float 2,538 January 28, 2016 Share January 28, 2016 I can imagine the type of "original" characters they come up with like Apple Dash and Pinkichu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBaby 660 February 4, 2016 Share February 4, 2016 Honestly, as much as I love the overall fandom of the show (yes, even now I still do like the fandom overall), that's one thing I would NOT want Hasbro to do. Here's why. The fandom at times (quite often as of late) gets very polarized, and I could see the show being consistently stuck in development hell, because areas of the fandom can't come to an agreement on which aspects of the episodes they want and which they don't. They would argue and bicker and nothing would be done. If the fandom (as a whole) were put in charge, it would be Little Nemo all over again. Not recommended when the company already has a hit show. What would be better is if one or two people from the fandom were put in charge of the show, and asked for fan input on what kinds of things they would like to see in the episodes, and then used maybe the 10 best suggestions to tweak aspects of the episodes. Then we would have less bickering (it would still happen, but it wouldn't affect the overall progress of the show as drastically), and the show would still incorporate ideas from the fandom.

Ranun 0 February 4, 2016 Share February 4, 2016 Well It would be good if the fandom had rights to make things that won't get C&D (ekhem.. button adventures ekhem..) But it would be necessary for someone to lead the main canon like hasbro does but then that someone would propably (unless bound_by_pinkie_promise_true_brony) get greedy and it would be worse than hasbro ...

DerpyFIM4 70 February 4, 2016 Share February 4, 2016 (edited) While that'd be awesome in theory, everyone would argue about what should happen and ponies would cuss and the show wouldn't be the same. Good thought though, I really like your creativity! Edited February 4, 2016 by DerpyFIM4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toothpaste 114 February 4, 2016 Share February 4, 2016 If the fandom owned all the rights...? Abandon ship! 1 I am not horse fame, I am horse fam~ Twitter: @ToothpasteThy <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Socks 2,599 February 5, 2016 Share February 5, 2016 That would destroy both the show and the fandom itself. The show would be changed to an animated version of a badly written fanfiction. The main problem is that the bronies would argue over evetything, and change everything in the show to where it doesn't make sense. I like some of the fan works, but giving the rights would be a horrible idea. 1 My OC: https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/foxy-socks-r9861 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concerned Bystander 2,903 February 5, 2016 Share February 5, 2016 Imagine the Brony fandom is Iraq, and Hasbro is Saddam Hussein. The country contains a diverse mix of people from different backgrounds, different religious sects and so on, and each of those groups has its' own moderate and extreme elements. This volatile mix is held roughly in check by an iron fist, who, although not the most pleasant of leaders, manages to keep the whole place in some semblance of order. Now take Saddam Hussein/Hasbro out of the equation. We all know what happened next. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuirkyUsername 1,576 February 5, 2016 Share February 5, 2016 Edgelord OCs? Clop? Uncharacteristically dark stories? The dull blank slates known as background ponies thrust into the spotlight? It would have none of the above as the fandom would dissolve into infighting and endless debates over who should be shipped with who till the show stagnates with no new episodes. The fighting still going decades later with none of the fanbase knowing what the hell they were even fighting about anymore. 1 This adorable ball of glorious fluff that is my avatar is the creation of the glamorous Laika Hey so Johari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy fries 432 February 5, 2016 Share February 5, 2016 It's just going to be "Slice Of Life" all over again, but way worse. Let's be honest, the actual show should be left to the professionals. 1 My OC, Redwood: https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/redwood-r9305 FoE version of Redwood: https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/redwood-foe-version-r9527 My OC, Janeri: https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/janeri-r9349 My OC, Ballpoint: https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/ballpoint-r9519 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crypty Scribbles 5,171 February 5, 2016 Share February 5, 2016 (edited) I think it would be horrible. Discord would like that chaos. Edited February 5, 2016 by Crypty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bourbon Brisk 84 February 5, 2016 Share February 5, 2016 (edited) I'm unsure, because while the idea sounds nice in at first and I would like the the show to continue I think the fandom might take it too far. There are probably some that could do it well, but wouldn't want a huge staff. I would like some more stuff for Background ponies, not episodes but just a tiny bit more interaction Edited February 5, 2016 by Bourbon Brisk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider float 2,538 February 6, 2016 Share February 6, 2016 Don't think Hasbro would want to give their IP to the very people they can sue and exploit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS Lightner 269 January 1, 2018 Share January 1, 2018 I think I know what the OP was actually getting at: Having a specific team of fans, create centralized content, in the spirit of the original show, that would be a canonical continuation/extension of FiM. In other words, a team of certain fans would be creating new pony after DHX/Hasbro Studios is no longer doing so. Also, if there was an open idea send-in thing, then a team of head writers would review what was sent in and only allow it to be made if it fit the original theme of the show, and worked in the grander timeline. (Which is a lot like what the project I'm heading is, that's linked in my sig [that's mostly how I understood what they actually meant]) Do you want to see more of Twilight and her friends after Season 9? Then consider helping Friendship is More Than Magic, the unofficial FiM successor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormBlaze 992 January 3, 2018 Share January 3, 2018 personally I would see it as a disaster. There would be power struggles right off the bat over who covers what and fights over ownership of fan fave ponies. Not to mention copyright wars with people who hate eachother, the drama would just escalate. No one wnats to see that fallout really. I think id be driven away from the fandom entirely if it went in that direction. 2 DeviantArt ~~~ YouTube ~~~ MLP Forum Store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChB 18,557 January 4, 2018 Share January 4, 2018 I would not like that at all, honestly. There are too many headcanons and popular ships that I don’t want to see in the show. 1 Thanks to @Sparklefan1234 for this awesome sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicEnergy 23,222 November 3, 2020 Share November 3, 2020 The fandom would make all sorts of official creations. *totally not up to any shenanigans* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Shimmer 4,133 November 12, 2020 Share November 12, 2020 That would probably be the worst business decision in history. Many people would get fired. Friendship isn't always easy. But it's definitely worth fighting for. Twilight Sparkle is Best Pony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
