OmegaBeamOfficial 620 Author Share November 13, 2016 I would love a CMC spin-off series. Seeing them help other ponies with their cutie mark problems would make great series in my opinion. Same here, they really don't do that enough in the main series. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Luminance 2,161 Share November 13, 2016 Wouldn't that just be something they can inject into the current show though? They can but it I'm afraid that it would only be a quick glimpse limited by time. I think it's good opportunity to explain and expand Equestria's history especially on the Royal sisters and a spinoff based on that may fill in some mysterious details like Starswirl and such. It may not be long but a "prequel sorts-of-thing" show might help establish things for FiM later. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites Badges
Dark Tempest 119 Share November 13, 2016 Either the rise of Sombra, showcasing everything from who he was before the evil creature he became till the point of his defeat or of the Princesses, showing Luna's change and attempt to overthrow her sister as nightmare moon. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bit Boss 212 Share November 13, 2016 Diamond Dogs! I think you could get 20-minutes entertainment out of watching them trying to pull off jewelry heists. Or you could just make a movie out of Metal Gear Solid 5 where everyone is an animated dog... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Baykush 325 Share November 14, 2016 (edited) Definitely a CMC spin-off series, they need more episodes focusing on their development, and it'd be great if they started traveling through Equestria solving friendship problems. It'd be the perfect excuse for more secondary characters and new locations. A mini-series about the ponies of Starlight's village. "The Grrrreat and Powerful Trrrixie's humble but heroic redemption tour with Starlight Glimmer and their wacky misadventures and shenanigans!". Yes, it's a working title :awuh: An adventure series about Doctor Hooves, Derpy and Daring Do. Edited November 14, 2016 by Baykush 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites Badges
GrimGrimoire 4,949 Share November 14, 2016 Going with my original statement of having any spin off serious be dedicated to any and all of the background and side characters (and having a lot of time to kill at the moment) I wrote up a quick episode list of something i would like to see if there were a type of spin off series created in just such a way. I only listed 10 ideas (Episodes) since people can easily add their own to fill out a normal 26 episode season. So this is just my mock up of what I personally would like to see (I also added a couple ideas from requests I see from members here that I really think would be fun) Episodes would be a nice mix of slice of life, comedy and adventure.. a little something for everybody. My Little Pony: Tails Of Equestria (I'm so creative.. lulz) EP #1 - Big Mac's Day Off = Big Macintosh has an entire day off all to himself.. however he quickly learns that every-pony else has plans for him as well... what's a stallion to do for a little peace and quiet?EP #2 - Stage Fight = A new magician is on the scene, and the great and powerful Trixie may not be as powerful as she thinks she is. In face she may not be great and powerful at all! Can she defeat her new rival and the mirror image it puts before her?EP #3 - Griffons of a Feather = Gilda is trying to get Griffonstone to embrace friendship and rebuild their empire. Can the hyper optimistic Gabby help her in this endeavor? Or will her enthusiasm destroy everything Gilda has built so far?EP #4 - The First Rule of Nerd Club = Several of Shining Armor's old friends come to visit, hoping to rekindle their friends love of gaming and geeky pursuits in general.... but is Shining Armor through with that part of his life?EP #5 - Trial by Magic = Starlight Glimmer faces ghosts from her past now all too real, and must accept her role in their creation and face the consequences of her actions. Can she convince her demons that she truly is a changed Pony?EP #6 - Wendigos = Double Diamond, Party Favor, Nightglider and Sugar Belle discover that even in a village of friends, disputes can happen. Can they stop the return of creatures who thrive on disharmony despite their own disagreements?EP #7 - A Day To Remember = Celestia and Luna are the Princesses of Equestria, but their daily tasks threaten to overwhelm them at times. Can a necessary vacation save their sanity? And will they discover that even 1000 year old alicorns can still learn something new about each other, as well as themselves?EP #8 - Where the Wild Things Are = Zecora is used to strange and powerful magic.. but when a strange little imp appears out of nowhere with a desperate summons, she discovers some things are better left unexplored.EP #9 - Goldenhooves = Agent Sweetie Drops is called into action! And Lyra is along for the unwilling & unforgettable ride. Can these two best friends but unlikely partners find the alicorn amulet before it falls into the wrong hands?EP# 10 - Elements of Harmony = Octavia and DJ-Pon3 share a love of music, but are complete opposites in everything else. Can their love of music save their friendship, when everything else threatens to rip it apart? So yeah, just some simple ideas I think would make for fun 22 minutes episodes. The Mane 6 could even appear as background characters in some of them to really unite the two series... that would give the overall two series that whole "Meanwhile" feeling. I actually did write up a couple of others, but thought it would be more interesting to let others continue adding their own ideas. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites Badges
Ganondorf8 9,879 Share November 14, 2016 How about Pinkie's sisters? They each have their own stories to tell that are sure to be interesting, and that they would naturally clash with one another because of their respective attitudes. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites Badges

It may not be long but a "prequel sorts-of-thing" show might help establish things for FiM later. Actually, that's something I hope the movie will explore, Twilight DOES still have access to the book of the Royal Sisters, she can probably read up on the history, which transitions into a flashback. Not something necessary for a whole series, but if the movie doesn't cover it, maybe so. Either the rise of Sombra, showcasing everything from who he was before the evil creature he became till the point of his defeat or of the Princesses, showing Luna's change and attempt to overthrow her sister as nightmare moon. Luna's changes sound more interesting to show, Sombra on the other hand... Eh, there's not enough to him to make an entire series based off his character. Diamond Dogs! I think you could get 20-minutes entertainment out of watching them trying to pull off jewelry heists. Or you could just make a movie out of Metal Gear Solid 5 where everyone is an animated dog... Oh yeah, that would be pretty neat.

Ganondorf8 9,879 Share November 14, 2016 Yeah, I can see some good comedy coming out of that. They would have to not include Pinkie otherwise she would take over, and she's one of the main characters on the show. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites Badges
OmegaBeamOfficial 620 Author Share November 14, 2016 They would have to not include Pinkie otherwise she would take over, and she's one of the main characters on the show. Well, as a background character she wouldn't hurt, but keep her out of the main plot. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ganondorf8 9,879 Share November 14, 2016 Well, as a background character she wouldn't hurt, but keep her out of the main plot. So... have Pinkie use sound effects and other gags so long as she doesn't take away the main focus which would be her sisters. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites Badges
OmegaBeamOfficial 620 Author Share November 14, 2016 So... have Pinkie use sound effects and other gags so long as she doesn't take away the main focus which would be her sisters. Yeah, pretty much I'm just thinking the occasional one liner for her once or twice in an episode. Yes the show won't be about her, but I think it would make sense to at least have her around. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
