Waiting for the episode where Scootaloo has to explain her fandom to Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle.

I'm pretty sure they won't ever put humans into the show. It works so well without them and it would be taking the whole thing in an entirely different direction. I don't think it could possibly add any value to the show, it would just turn off a huge number of people, me included.

I can't make signatures.

Clearly humans suddenly went extinct from a disease only ponies can live through and eventually ponies became fully sentient!

I was thinking more along the lines of a nuclear conflict in which humans eventually all got wiped out. And thus thousands of years later, Equestria was made.

In the episode "Baby Cakes", there's a scene of the little fillies' bedroom where on the wall you can see drawings of a humanoid shaped being and some other thing (forgot what the other thing was). Do you guys think that a human appearance is possible next season? If so, I personally think the episode would deal with something darker like war between races and other forms of social issues. What do you guys think?

 

I think humans are mythological in Equestria the same way a good deal of the population is mythological in our world. Hence, babies are entertained by cute images of unicorns and the like here. Invert the idea there.

Why do we always have to assume Nuclear Holocaust is man's final fate? Hasn't this community taught anypony faith in the good of people? Why not we left Earth only to become creatures of legends millenia later when sentience arises again?

 

they should bring humans back again like the original 80's MLP that would be sweet but just a girl and a boy perhaps 2 girls and a boy will do B)

 

Eh. I say save it for the movie. It would be like Midnight Castle all over again! ONLY MORE EPIC! Better yet! This . . . .

The ponies themselves seem human enough, don't you think?

 

Agreed. I've gone on record saying how human the ponies are. Not physically anthropomorphisized, but with both flaws and virtues that are very human.

 

Ponies are the equivalent of humans in their world. In my theory, instead of apes evolving into a sentient species, it happened to horses/non-sentient ponies. And apes are still apes/monkeys in the pony world. So still basically animal. The ponies don't consider themselves animals, because they are like humans, who also don't consider themselves animals.

 

So no, I don't think humans will appear because ponies already fill their place. And if they do, they definitely won't with such dark themes.

 

Again, it astounds me that a fandom that has inspired such hope and idealism. Always assumes adding elements of their own species or world is the equivalent of opening the gates of Hell! Guys! We are bronies, we're better than that! Edited by Steelquill

I never said anything negative about humans and did not make my theory out of a dislike/distrust of man that many pony fans seem to harbor. I just believe that humans don't fit into FiM's world. Not because they're horrible, but because it seems implied that ponies are their replacement. I do not think they fit in because ponies are the dominant, sentient species, not because I think negatively of people.

 

In fact, I agree with you that pony fans need to be more positive about humanity.

Oh I didn't mean to assume that was a belief you held personally. I do agree with you though in that humans simply wouldn't "fit" so to speak. :huh: Now that I think about it. Isn't that uncannily similar to Gulliver and the houyhnhnms?

That's exactly what I was thinking about replying with before reading this thread. So there ya go.

 

It does get a bit more creepy, though, when you imagine baby ponies having human toys that they play with.


That's really all there is to say on the matter.

Any more creepy than us playing with our power ranger action figures when we were kids?

Yes, considering that, in the context of Equestria, humans are a completely fictional species. How would the ponies come up with something as strange as humans, and why would babies find an attraction to them? Edited by Pony Joe

Maybe somepony looked at chimps and extrapolated everything else like we looked at horses and got unicorns? Maybe we look funny to baby ponies? I'm not trying to be argumentative! It's just if humans = Equestrian mythology than mythological origins here could just be flipped on their heads to get a conclusion.

Personally, I don't think that the introduction of humans in FiM would feel... right? A human character, even a minor one at that, would completely throw off the feel of the show, you know? I'm aware of the human characters from previous MLP cartoons, but I do believe that humans do not have a place in the "ponyverse".

I think humans are long overdue in the show and they need to be added as soon as possible. I am stating this opinion of my own free will and I have absolutely not been tied up while somepony else hijacks my laptop to spread the word all over the internet.
