Alternatives To “Friendship Is Magic”?

[ShiningSword4622 12]

Here are my ideas for alternatives to Friendship Is Magic (starring Twilight Sparkle):

• Adventures In Friendship (starring Rainbow Dash)
• Friendship Is Frightening! (starring Fluttershy)
• Friendship Is Beautiful (starring Rarity)
• Sowing The Seeds Of Friendship (starring Applejack)
• Friendship Is Fun! (starring Pinkie Pie)

Now, how does everypony think each one would go?

RD: She's very cocky, so her lessons centre around being a humble friend since a good friend is always humble (i guess?)

Flutters: She was very shy and scared of everything. Her lessons would be about approaching ponies and asserting herself.

Rare: Rarity was a business pony, but she always kept sewing, and never made friends. Her lessons would be around business interaction and stuff.

AJ: probably same as Rare.

Ponk:  Given it's Pinkie, maybe her lessons are like, well, she breaks the fourth wall and teaches the viewer about friendship, kinda like shows like Dora the Explorer.

Say, can you or anypony else think of any more alternatives to the canon and how they differ from it?

I would have liked to see something involving the Elements of Harmony coming about decades before they did in the timeline, perhaps older ancestors of the characters could have been involved with the elements. Having something with more of a 1920's feel to it would be interesting.

Oh, yeah? Who would the Mane characters be in your alternative canon?

I don't know really, as it would be taking place at least 50 years before the "present".

So would the Mane characters include Granny Smith and/or Grand Pear?

Would be possible!

Power of friendship is the oldest trope in the animated shows.

Twilight Sparkle is forced to work together with the villains to save Equestria from disaster

You’re right about one thing. It’s a fact that friendship is important.

Allies is a miracle is a alternate name
