Harratot33 93 July 16, 2017 Share July 16, 2017 ...not one single character appears in each and every episode. Seriously, have a good think. How many other television shows have done this? When I first became a brony I thought Twilight would be in every one because she was clearly represented as being the main character but that all changed when I saw Hearts and Hooves Day and now she's appearing less and less... :/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megas 28,308 July 16, 2017 Share July 16, 2017 Hey Arnold I'm sure did this. There was at least one episode where Arnold didn't appear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genessee 535 July 16, 2017 Share July 16, 2017 (edited) While there is other shows (kids' shows, even) where the main character doesn't appear at all/as a background character for an episode, MLP is iconic for it's character's lack of consecutive appearances. (I hope I said that right) Edited July 16, 2017 by genessee Added comma 2 You have laid your eyes upon my post. Be afraid. Please. With a cherry on top? I'm dying here...

Twilight appears as the one who gives the CMC the book. Are you sure you're not thinking of "Sisterhooves Social?" That's the first episode I know doesn't have her appear. But to answer your question, that's the joy of a show with an ensemble cast. Season 2 marks the creation of now six main characters that can have their own stories to follow. The closest show I can think is Adventure Time after several seasons when world building and secondary characters like the Ice King, Princess Bubblegum, and Marceline got some background expansions. 2 One of my most ambitious role playing experiences. Plus other smaller stories and commentaries throughout the cup threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilgoreth 1,915 July 17, 2017 Share July 17, 2017 I think it's pretty common for shows that don't have a centeral focus or a centeral charcter too focus on. Signature made by Kyoshi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hierok 11,833 July 17, 2017 Share July 17, 2017 It's logical for Twilight not to be in every episode, because you'll run out of stories earlier in the show. That is why it's still interesting. 1 If I don't understand something or Interpret it wrong, I'm dutch. Sometimes I gamble for meanings of the words. And sometimes I write the wrong words, like week and weak for example. Sorry for it already.

Oh my gosh, you're right, sorry about that - there's too many episodes to keep track of for me Edited July 17, 2017 by Harratot33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
