Attention, MLP Writers and Producers. RE: Season 3

[Silverhoof 2,844]

We know you read these forums...(OK we have no idea. But lets pretend you do...)

 

I would like an episode in season 3 that highlights the Princesses in Canterlot.

I would like to see all three princesses have their moment of glory where they can shine on screen.

The episode will cast the three above plus Twilight, Spike and Shining Armor. I'll let you write the episode. Your writers are far better than I am.

 

If you need a villain at any point in season 3, it should be a Pegasus. We really haven't seen evil pegasi yet.

 

Others may well post in this thread. Feel free.

Gang, if you like an idea be sure to bro-hoof (or quote) the post. Just to give the writers a good idea what is popular with us. Thanks.

Replying to OP, decent idea for an episode, but I'm not quite sure the writers will take what a single fan requests into account. Who knows though... maybe there will be an episode similar to your proposal in Season 3? Got about 3 months to wait and see -- maybe you'll meet the season with a nice surprise.

now back on track:

I would love to see more of the princesses, but maybe not limit it to Canterlot. Perhaps each of them must handle a different situation in different parts of Equestria. But again, this is something to leave up to the writers.

There's never been an episode where Luna "saves the day". That'd be a good episode! Celestia always comes in to fix things, though I don't mind if she does again.

I can't recall a single time where Celestia has proven useful. She normally does jack squat as the Mane 6 step in and fix everything. The one time that Celestia tried to act, she was shut down by Chrysalis. A Luna episode is always welcome though.

 

This is for what we would LIKE to see. The writers have responded to fans many times before.

 

I would like to see a million dollars added to my account. I would like to see Spitfire take over the show as the main character. I would like to see Celestia get struck down by lightning. I would like to see Derpy punch the person responsible for making the final verdict in editing her eyes/voice in the show.

 

Silliness aside, Hasbro made it perfectly clear by showing Vinyl's eye color that the fandom is NOT in control of the show. Personally, I rather they keep doing what they're doing and ignore the fan base. IMO, Season 2 was awful compared the charm and story writing Season 1 had.

 

And the show needs more Spitfire.

 

That is all.

Geez, do you guys really feel the need to bicker over a topic so simple? This is supposed to be a friendly community, it makes me feel down every time an argument like this takes place when it could have been avoided. Granted, it's not big yet, but why not nip it in the bud?

I'm withya on that bud. Tired of seeing opposition here. We don't like the show because we're cynical and mean, afterall. I've always loved the community as a refuge from that nonsense.

 

Oh, yeah, she could reply with "I'm just expressing my opinion!" or whatever, but see, that's not assuming the best, assuming that I meant the hostile attitude and all. Someone needs to learn the moral of "Party of One" again

Some of that season 1 charm may just be that it was new. But, then again, both in MLP;FiM and in Avatar: The Last Airbender, the first few episodes of the second season seemed like the lowest point. Maybe it's because the writers get inspired from the positive response to the first season or something, and it takes until halfway through their writing season 2 to see it. I dunno.

 

Aw, and what's wrong with Celestia? She's a great and kind pony, who wants the well-being of her subjects. She cleaned the mess Twi made in "Lesson Zero", remember?

Yes she is powerful, but she is also wise. She knows who needs to do what. there are 3 points i can see Celestia would have had to be seen as responsible. Nightmare Moon, Discord, and the changelings. May i break these down?

 

Nightmare Moon: Celestia was MIA presumably taken by Nightmare Moon.

 

Discord: It took herself, her sister, and the elements of harmony to take him out the first time. This time the only ones that could accomplish it were the new embodiments of the elements.

 

The Changelings: It was an unseen threat and when it presented itself the creature who had been gathering strength from Shining Armor's love for who knows how long had gotten too powerful.

 

Please note, in each of these situation, while desiring to assist, she was simply unable. The rest of the time she had no reason to act because then it would teach no pony a lesson and would only serve to create very lazy and dependent ponies.

I've never seen Avatar, so I can't really comment on that.

 

As for MLP, notice that Season 1 is "Educational and Informative", thus that EI tag on the screen. They removed that requirement for the show during Season 2. To me, the big part for why I enjoyed the show was how it contained great voice acting, fantastic characters, and it taught a very important lesson every episode.

 

While I did enjoy Season 2, it seemed to be written for more fan appeal. No more EI, no more continuous lessons, additional drama, etc.

 

I am honestly and truly afraid of what Season 3 will be like (but I am excited for an additional season).

Aren't the plots and animations done, like a year before the season is even released?

Yeah, and by quiet a long time, too, IIRC.

if this is true i can actually perfectly understand it from the business perspective. The timing on the new seasons gives time for a fan hype and for merchandising. The anticipation infatuates the fans and they can sell more. But getting back on track this doesn't mean they can't make alterations and fill a fan request somehow. However it likely won't be until about mid season.

 

Nonetheless, we should try to see if we can't at least give any writer who browses through this some ideas. Like i wouldn't mind finding out how the other 3 ended up in ponyville (Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie) Since we already know about Twilight, Applejack and Fluttershy.

[SrFrog 927]

I'll give you that it would be quite interesting to see more of the princesses and a more defined personality for them. To be honest however, I really don't see that as likely at all.
