cider float 2,539 November 24, 2016 Share November 24, 2016 The show has gone for quite a bit so you'd expect it to have covered all the cliches by now. But what cliches do you think they did not pull off yet? -Magical Tournament. Whether it has combat in it or just general I'm better than you magic tournaments. Yes there were magic duels but not tournaments. Think Dragon Ball, Yu Yu Hakusho, Naruto etc. -A beach adventure. Very typical in japanese cartoons. -War. Sure there was an invasion but not the same thing. -I am your father. A secret reveal of someone that wasn't someone you'd expect to be. A oops I suppose Chrysalis covered that one. -Tsundere love story. A character that has secret special feelings for another but won't admit it -The "Dad." You know those dads that try to act really cool and just come out awkward and cringey? Yes don't have one of those in the show yet. -I can feel his spiritual power! You know how annoying some cartoons are when all the characters know what everything is happening to other characters even if they're not there? That cliche I'm talking about. -Everything explodes. You know like a typical Michael Bay movie. Even things that weren't supposed to explode exploding. -The Badass. A character that makes an amazing appearance kicking everyone's butt and acting like it was just a walk in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganondorf8 11,730 November 24, 2016 Share November 24, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised if some of those suggestions end up being considered and ultimately used in season seven, the Equestria Girls specials, or even the 2017 movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavens-champion 1,907 November 24, 2016 Share November 24, 2016 (edited) Well, they haven't tried the brain switching gag. Or the tomboy character trying to be a lady (in other words, Rainbow Dash has yet to act like a member of high society).

cmarston1 5,964 November 24, 2016 Share November 24, 2016 We haven't had any body swapping plots yet in the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baykush 328 November 24, 2016 Share November 24, 2016 (edited) A boys vs girls episode, and I'm glad they haven't. We haven't had any body swapping plots yet in the show. Considering how good the voice actors are at making impressions that's something that needs to happen, as long as they don't swap the voices like most other cartoons of course.

strongwilled_pegasus 5,158 November 24, 2016 Share November 24, 2016 How about that tired old cliche, you know where a princess gets kidnapped (in this case princess twilight) and has to be saved by a stallion (Flash centry) please don't emasculate me, your the one asked... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadence trying to save Shining Armor was the subversion of this already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikeable Pony 2,700 November 25, 2016 Share November 25, 2016 -War. Sure there was an invasion but not the same thing. it'd be nice if they touched back on the crystal wars timeline to give us a good war thing. That being said, I don't think we'll see a "war" in the show though I DO think they might do something like that in the GOH series/comics in the future. -The "Dad." You know those dads that try to act really cool and just come out awkward and cringey? Yes don't have one of those in the show yet. This would be a good personality for Dash's dad -Magical Tournament. Whether it has combat in it or just general I'm better than you magic tournaments. Yes there were magic duels but not tournaments. Think Dragon Ball, Yu Yu Hakusho, Naruto etc. Be a fun episode, but I can't see how they'd get pure "Fight" tournament going on, and a purely magical Tournament would disqualify 4/6 of the mane six.

BloodDrops 762 November 25, 2016 Share November 25, 2016 -The Badass.

cider float 2,539 November 25, 2016 Author Share November 25, 2016 How about the Karate Kid. Less popular pony trains then beats up the bullies. Though there is tidbits of that theme just not the full blown kind. Like Fluttershy training but to be a better flier rather than face an adversary and Spike overcoming the teenage dragons but he doesn't have a training montage.

Jeric 46,884 November 25, 2016 Share November 25, 2016 We saw both the threat of war and war itself in Season 5. Not sure how much of a focused it needs to be in your mind to be considered a true cliche, or if alternate realities count. My memory fails me, but have we seen an episode centered around disappointment of a worshipped hero? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGrimoire 4,973 November 25, 2016 Share November 25, 2016 The mind switching gag. One of the dumber characters suddenly becoming a genius The characters meeting and interacting with opposite/alternate versions of themselves Characters get turned into babies (or old mares) Shrinking and entering another character to help with some illness or problem. 1 ~No profound statement needed~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
