PonyHag1 591 December 3, 2012 Share December 3, 2012 The announcement today that Prince William and Kate are expecting thier first child got me thinking about Shining Armor and Candence (naturally). I'd like to see an episode about her expecting a foal, perhaps a two parter. They could even have Queen Chrysalis in it, plotting to steal the foal and making it part of her Changeling swarm. Of course, content would be appropriate for the younger target audience. 17 "Mr. The Dragon!" - Ms. Harshwhinny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Man 222 December 3, 2012 Share December 3, 2012 Meh, I'd like Chrysalis to have a role or plot outside Shining Armor and Cadance. As for the baby, well, maybe that could work, but then haven't the royal couple already had their moment in the spotlight? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycarhasaMoustache 449 December 3, 2012 Share December 3, 2012 (edited) Oh god they are having a baby people have just stopped talking about the damn wedding. argh Im sorry to those of you that give a crap about the money sucking sponges we call our royal family but I live in England and I will never hear the end of it on the mlp note I think there could be potential for a good story but I always feel as if baby birth storys end up the same plus remember mlp is still aimed at children and Im guessing most of them are too young to understand where babys come from so if they did do this episode they would have to tread lightly around things they do and say. I just feel that people that are easily offended (the people that complained about derpy) will complain about this aswell hmm Edited December 3, 2012 by mycarhasaMoustache 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PonyHag1 591 December 3, 2012 Author Share December 3, 2012 Well, I confess to being a big SA/Cadence/Chrysalis fan so the more of them the merrier Just my opinion. I live in Canada, so I expect to hear plenty about William and Kate too. I can definitely relate 3 "Mr. The Dragon!" - Ms. Harshwhinny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cthulhoof 7 December 3, 2012 Share December 3, 2012 (edited) Oh god they are having a baby people have just stopped talking about the damn wedding Know that feel Brony Well, I confess to being a big SA/Cadence/Chrysalis fan so the more of them the merrier ^ This, I really enjoyed every episode with them in, although I admit not really being that fussed about Chrysalis (although I do feel like more could be done with her), as for the show being aimed at children that wouldn't really be a problem they've already covered baby ponies appearing as Mr and Mrs Cake already had the adorable duo Pumpkin and Pound and I have to admit my children didn't even ask where they came from they just enjoyed watching them cause Pinkie all kinds of trouble. Of course if they showed her expecting the foal they would probably need to explain it but it doesn't need to go any further than Shining Armour and Cadence love each other very very much and decided to have a baby together, I can't count the amount of times my little ones have asked that immortal question and they don't need to know the ins and outs to be satisfied.

Spartan 433 December 3, 2012 Share December 3, 2012 i hate the british royals, not them as people, but the fact that the media is up their butts all the damn time! Its so stupid, we Americans fought to get away from them, and now the media is all over them >.> but as for a MLP royal baby episode, it'd be great, but i think they'd need to build it up and not just a magicly appear.. like the cake kids did..

Discovery Dream 592 December 3, 2012 Share December 3, 2012 First of all, what. How can they already be having kids. Second of all, meh. We've already had an episode with cute kids, and it'll give kids the wrong idea (you got married, now you have to have children right away!!). It's an okay idea, but it's too soon and there are a lot of problems that would need to be ironed out. no rest for the wizardly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himanuts 165 December 4, 2012 Share December 4, 2012 Well, it's been speculated they might have a foal at some point in the series. Most likely this season. Why? Because of this... Pink alicorn foal with blue eyes....some features reminicent of our favourite royal couple. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PonyHag1 591 December 4, 2012 Author Share December 4, 2012 Her mane reminds me of Sweetie Belle. If she's really supposed to be SA and Cadence' foal her mane color should take after Shining Armor and be shades of blue.

Well, America fought a few hundred years ago. Both countries are completely different these days. And Hasbro can skirt around the issue by saying that ponies have babies by some other method (i.e. a spell or somesuch) 1 Solar Flicker, http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/solar-flicker-r1972 Wind Whistle http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/wind-whistle-r2867 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Soul 2,611 December 4, 2012 Share December 4, 2012 I don't dislike nor do I like the idea. I mean it would be cool to see them pull it off, but I don't know I just have my doubts on how the story would go. Chrysalis or no Chrysalis.

pinkiefan1287 610 December 4, 2012 Share December 4, 2012 (edited) Well it is a good idea and with that toy it is a idea we all know is there. It could give us a chance to see Shining Armor and Cadence again and it would be a good villain plan for Queen Chrysalis would be good to. A new baby would also be cute to see. What would also be a good episode is if Shining and Cadence got marriage advice or how to handle a baby pony from Mr. and Mrs. Cake. It would just be cool to see the 2 married couple together.

Jammo 986 December 4, 2012 Share December 4, 2012 I'd rather a Prince Blueblood ep where the Ponyville Enquirer posts indecent photos of him. Naw I'm just kidding but new baby ponies = new marketing opportunities for Hasbro = new story opportunities for the writers = new canon for fans = everypony wins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Storm 276 December 4, 2012 Share December 4, 2012 I've been pondering the idea of a baby for Shining Armor and Cadence for quite a while now, because that toy was posted a couple months ago on EqD. I think it would be pretty interesting, but maybe they should hold off until season 4 for the baby episode, if only to give us a bit more time between the episodes about the Cakes' baby and the royals' baby. The longer the wait, the less redundant another baby episode will feel. This is probably the first time I've ever thought this, but an episode centered around introducing a new baby might just be epic, if they make it a two-parter, and either bring Chrysalis back or introduce a new villain to try and attack the baby.

Snowfeathers 43 December 4, 2012 Share December 4, 2012 I don't think this is a good idea. While it's fine and dandy that Shining Armor and Cadence were based off of William and Kate, that doesn't mean that they have to make the characters exactly the same past the "they had a royal wedding" bit. Maybe if they made a hint/joke about having a foal or something, that would be all right. Maybe in the future, a foal would seem like a slightly better idea. But really, five episodes thus far after getting married? A little quick to start popping out babies, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, content would be appropriate for the younger target audience. Na, if we are gonna have some young royalty, have Chrysallis' Daughter come to Canterlot and demand an explanation, why her own father (Shining Armor) thought it was ok to send her people to starve. Now, there's some drama.

PonyHag1 591 December 5, 2012 Author Share December 5, 2012 Hmm, that would be interesting at that. It would also make us look at and consider the Changeling's side of things. Chrysalis' daughter might have some valid points, and not be purely evil like the Queen. 1 "Mr. The Dragon!" - Ms. Harshwhinny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nothing&NoOne 695 December 5, 2012 Share December 5, 2012 I think it'd be ok, but I don't really want Chrysalis to return...as badass as she was, I don't like it when good characters are brought back too many times (especially evil ones.) because it starts wearing them out. And I doubt she'd mess with Cadance and Shining Armor again, they ARE living in the Crystal Empire now, and we know Cadance has the magic ability to protect it.

Lupus 127 December 5, 2012 Share December 5, 2012 Well, the Baby Cakes episode was one of the worst I've ever seen, but the idea that Chrysalis wants to steal the royal baby has a bit more going for it. The idea that Shining Armour was having premarital sex with fake cadence and made a baby changeling out of it has LOTS of epic, but not much "family values" so I doubt Hasbro would go for that!

Whofch 128 December 5, 2012 Share December 5, 2012 (edited) I have nothing against them having a baby, could be interesting to see what happens with an Alicorn mother but I don't want another episode focusing on the baby. As Lupus mentioned, I thought the Baby Cakes episode was dire. Anyway, a baby appearing out of nowhere with no mention prior to it would be annoying (when it's an important character at least). Still think it's too soon for the characters anyway. They need more screen time first I reckon (having said that, I'd rather the other 2 princesses got some proper screen time for a change first).

Damn all the target demographic, don't they know this show is for grownups!? I want my dramatic reveal! (preferably something similar to how they did the Barty Crouch jr. reveal in the 4th HP movie). Well, it's been speculated they might have a foal at some point in the series. Most likely this season. Why? Because of this... Well let's take a look at thi- KILL IT WITH FIRE! I'm having G3-ScootaLOO flashbacks, man. But seriously, I'd be fine with it, if it doesn't result in another babysitting episode and doesn't come out of nowhere.

The very idea of Chrysalis having Shining Armours baby is so awesome I can't think of a suitable way to express it! Between the two of you you've managed to put my imagination into overdrive haha, how would Shining Armour and Cadence deal with that bombshell? Although if I recall correctly Chrysalis sang a song about how SA meant nothing to her and how she was just using him so I doubt there would be any chance of them getting close enough to make a little one... Unless she did it as a failsafe plan or some kind of twisted revenge plot ... Very unlikely I know but hey I can dream! The idea that Shining Armour was having premarital sex with fake cadence and made a baby changeling out of it has LOTS of epic, but not much "family values" so I doubt Hasbro would go for that! Can't say I care much for the mental image of pony lovin' but you're right there I don't think there's any chance of it getting an episode purely because it's got themes that would go way over most childrens heads... Shame really, I guess all I can hope for is a competant fan fiction (on the return of the child... Not the pony lovin'!) of some variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
