Singe 2,111 July 5, 2018 #26 Share July 5, 2018 (edited) Rainbow Dash allowed to be a drunk would be pretty funny with her current reckless side. So drunk she can't fly home, crashes into someone's bedroom, and sleep there for the night. Fluttershy allowed to be an animal hoarder. Starlight Glimmer jokes she can use mind control magic to compel anyone to do anything. Even imply certain scenarios. Politics of the princesses' role of failing to protect the kingdom.

Cash In 22,525 July 5, 2018 #27 Share July 5, 2018 (edited) It doesn't sound like something that I would fully enjoy, considering the nature of MLP in general. If it existed, I would take a glace at it out of curiosity, but I'd draw the line there. Edited August 4, 2019 by Cash In 3 At first I rejected the zero, but that was because I simply didn't understand it. Now I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganondox 899 July 5, 2018 #29 Share July 5, 2018 I've watched some parodies that fit along those lines, but for an actual MLP show, well, that's not what it is. It's the wrong tone. I'd watch a show that's more complex, but not needlessly adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Glow 676 July 5, 2018 #30 Share July 5, 2018 I mean, it depends on how appropriately used the violence, swearing and sex jokes are. As a person who has watched TV-MA shows and genuinely liked them, they tend to use their label wisely. As long as this adult MLP show isn’t needlessly over the top just to prove that “Ooo! MLP being edgy” isn’t the plot. The only reason any show should be TV-MA is because these themes occur frequently, not because the whole show’s existence depends on it. As long as that wasn’t abused, I can see myself enjoying it. That being said, I don’t know how’d I would feel if it was a replacement to MLP, mainly because the reason I watch MLP is specifically to get away to a sweet, soft world where all the adult problems can’t exist. I think if I had to choose between MLP and Adult MLP, I would most certainly pick the former. Avatar by @Bakugou is my Man <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannabrony 11,640 July 5, 2018 #31 Share July 5, 2018 No way, and please don't make this a reality. I for one wouldn't watch it for sure, I watch the MLP because it's charming and friendly, it doesn't over complicate things, it's just a good and bright cartoon. Making it TV-MA would be a no-go for me, sorry to burst the bubble. 2 Ask me something! (If you want to...) Ask A Wannabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand 17+ is a no for me, and I know I would love the all ages friendly cartoon that captivated my attention more to begin with... however, a spinoff in the same realm, TV14, I think I could get a kick out of, we wouldn't have interactions with the mane cast ever, maybe only reference, and possibly could expand upon more violent story based plot lines that include scenarios outside of equestrian politics and jurisdiction, Yakyakistan, the dragonlands, etc, it could create some type of familiarity, subtle young adult humor, aggressive tones, but with an adorable protagonist, and other childish comical quirks, I could really see that in a lot of places, it doesnt mean make it a s*** show, IE(drawn together) it means that there is something cute about cute protagonists that stand past their expectation and projections.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senko 459 July 6, 2018 #33 Share July 6, 2018 (edited) I might take a look out of curiosity (and honestly MLP has already pushed the boundaries a lot such as Fluttershy and Rarity getting drunk off Pinaple juice in the comcis or the death tree infecting Zecora) but I fear it would just not work out. Either we'd get something like the movie where a fart joke cropped up near the begining (unless I'm mixing up my movies) or it'd wind up like the Riverdale series which feels like they grabbed the names of the Archie characters and shoehorned them into a crime series to draw fans. If done right it could work well (say something like friends, how I met your mother or a similar sitcom where while the events are there the focus is still on characters and interactions rather than oh we be edgy now) but I fear it would not be done well.

Dreambiscuit 10,171 July 9, 2018 #34 Share July 9, 2018 I wouldn't mind a more adult show if it was done with some style and cleverness in the writing. But as soon as the writers get a free hand they'd inevitably use it as an excuse to go too far and turn it into a cruddy mess like so many modern cartoons that rely on 5th grade humor instead of sly innuendo and subtlety. So as much as I'd enjoy a show for an older audience, I wouldn't vote for it because of the predictable, low-level reality of what would likely come to be.

Plonkett 345 July 9, 2018 #35 Share July 9, 2018 (edited) I'd rather see an adult show that has good writing and a good story. The fanfic Black Feather would be a great example of that. Edited July 9, 2018 by vgmaster9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meushell 52 July 20, 2018 #36 Share July 20, 2018 Yes, if it was handled well. I think cussing would sound out of place though. Having their own version (“Who the hoof is that?!”) is more fun anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fhaolan 4,484 July 20, 2018 #38 Share July 20, 2018 Wait, do you want an Adult MLP show, or one full of sex, violence, and swearing? As much as media ratings want to tell you those are the same thing, in my opinion they are not. That kind of stuff is more 'Adolescent' than 'Adult' to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Cyclone 🚓 6,261 July 20, 2018 #39 Share July 20, 2018 Honestly, I feel that an adult MLP show would just turn into The Simpsons, Family Guy, and South Park down the road. After sooooo long and soooooo many seasons, the show would lose its entertainment. Also, like others have said, it wouldn't fit into the friendly nature MLP has now. 1 Country and Rock fan | Car fan (especially police cars) | Weather Pony | YouTube | Twitter | DeviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Here No Longer 5,277 July 20, 2018 #40 Share July 20, 2018 (edited) Honestly, adult and MLP do not really fit together well. Just look at what you see with the 18+ filter on Derpibooru. Yuck. Edited July 20, 2018 by A Cynical Millenial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon the VGNerd 887 July 21, 2018 #43 Share July 21, 2018 Nope. Last thing we want is Hasbro being filed with many lawsuits from parents. Parodies found online is fine, but on TV? Yeah no, those are grounds for lawsuits and fines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sliding Bolt 4,358 July 23, 2018 #47 Share July 23, 2018 That would be pretty good as long as the overall premise of the show was retained. Though it would be funny to see a drunk Rainbow Dash curse out somepony. Hi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senko 459 July 23, 2018 #48 Share July 23, 2018 (edited) You know it just hit me in most of the other cities we see (Manehattan, Canterlot, Appleloosa, Las Pegasus) the majority of Ponies wear clothes unlike Ponyville. I have a nasty feeling if there was an adult MLP show Ponyville would be explicitly stated to be a nudist colony.
