Mane 7?

[RainbowDashie 767]

maybe for one or two epiodes but permanent? NO

[Vaporeon 1,168]

I still think they should use Big Mac more or maybe Dr.Whooves as a gag character/nod to the bronies.

[Viridian Daybreak 65]

More characters, yes. But it just wouldn't feel right having a seventh mane character. But more important guy characters like Big Mac and Shining Armor would be great!

[UndeadALK 6]

No! I don't want new ponies in mane 6. Especially male !

[FedoraMemes 582]

No. It would totally ruin what the show has built up already. I don't mind them adding new characters, but adding a new main character would just ruin the show for me. And I think the word 'Mane 6' has a nice ring to it.

You could think of it like Power Rangers. There are always those one or two extra rangers that come in during the middle of the series.

Unless the producers can seriously pull it off, without making serious overlooks, then I will support it. Other than that, I don't support it. In Power Rangers, they pulled it off to make it fit in with the story (but it always annoyed me when they were really overpowered.)

And this is what I have to say:

 

[Dark Qiviut 22,215]

I don't think this will ever happen.

 

Ever since its premiere, the Mane Six has developed a great sense of chemistry via the Elements of Harmony and the "magic" that's since bound them. As of now, there are just six Elements. No more, no less. A new Element of Harmony just cannot be written out of the blue. It must be thought of carefully and see whether it fits the show, worldbuilding, et cetera. Adding another Element into the group, mare or colt, could potentially disrupt the character development they all have and greatly risk alienating your audience, whether it may succeed or not.

 

Also, while not an actual Element, Spike is a male and is considered an integral part of the group due to his sharp wit, quick writing, and communication with the Elements, Celestia, and Luna.

 

Can there be more characters into the show? Absolutely. One great thing about this cartoon is the fact that it's open enough for more characters to arrive and develop into likeable beings, whether they're ponies, dragons, donkeys, and so on. We saw that extensively in Season Two with the dragon teens, Cranky, Iron Will, Fancy Pants, and Cadence. But to be a part of the Mane Six? You risk opening up an unrepairable can of worms, and I really don't think neither Hasbro nor DHX want to take that chance.

if anyone on this thread says trixi or zecora...im going to scream

[My little pwny 1,390]

[Flame Blitz 85]

It would be nice. I would like a colt to be a principal.

[Darkshine 12]

NO

[Crystal Sparkle 344]

I don't know if I want a guy to join the group...

 

Although he would be the luckiest foal in Equestria to be constantly surrounded by them mares...

[moneyshredderofdeath 414]

Remember what happened to Rugrats once they gave it new main characters? Yeah. If FiM added a new lead character I'd feel it'd be a sign they were running out of ideas.

[Naknak 3]

It would probably turn into what many power ranger fans would call...

 

"Sixth ranger syndrome"

 

(Although it would be seventh in this case, haha.)

[RoadtoEquestria 59]

No additions to the main six would result in anything positive, especially a male character.'

 

Plus, adding new additions to the main characters would be a result of a dying show.

[Pinkie D Pie 1,035]

Please just no. It just would not work out at all.

[Jokuc 8,172]

No. I like it the way it is. One of the reasons many shows die is because it's being changed.

[Simcity11100 771]

Just to go against every one, I say it's a good idea

[KakeiTheWolf 652]

Do not want. Just... no.

[go away seb 367]

[Ezynell 2,036]

So he can swoon each of the mane 6, preferably unintentionally?

 

That's what would probably happen if a male character was introduced into the mane 6. It would be generation 2 all over again.

[Champion RD92 8,655]

I wouldn't mind a male character being introduced and joining the mane six as long as he didn't hit on Dashie http://mlpforums.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png
