Do humans or the idea of humans exist in My Little Pony?

[Forlong 1,726]

Its part of a fictional series in Equestria called "My Little Humans".

[Marshmallow 1,137]

I like to think that humans in Equestria are just like unicorns in ou world. They're imaginary, but they still exist in fairytales and such. That would explain the drawings on the walls!

[The Awesome One 1,315]

I bet they probably have a show called ''My little Human:Oil is money''

[Steel Accord 6,660]

I think like this, when it was time for the human children to leave Dream Valley for what seemed to be the last time, they didn't really want to leave, without ever coming back ....

So, some source of great magic were sought out, and the wish for the ponies and human children were made true, to never have to depart (while alive).

The result?

Ever since, humans that came there, also turned into ponies.

Also, a very special Alicorn were born.....

While the "G1 cast" were off protecting the area from enemies, other human children came, socialized, and partially copied the world they came from .... they had the shapes of ponies, but moved very much like humans .... and they became G2.

Between the original ponies inability to handle those "newponies", to the newponies introducing petty squabble and whatnot, i think several things may fit in, from G3 & G3,5, to the building of Discord, and the following years of frost .... during which a second alicorn was born.

And then, Celestia reached maturity.

 

If anyone find holes in my reasoning, and extrapolation, please do point them out .. or even better, seal/repair the holes!

 

Makes about as much sense as trying to connect all the Transformers continuities. As in they give you next to nothing and yet you manage to connect them all using speculative fiction devices.

Oh silly me! I forgot to close the back door and a cynic got in. Man, we're going to have a misanthrope infestation if I keep doing that.

[Jokuc 8,174]

I do not ever EVER, want to see humans in the show.. Just.. NO!

[letterone 1,204]

I wouldn't like humans in the show.

 

Remember Sonic X?

 

UUUUUUGGHHH SONIC X.

 

As for humans in MLP, that doesn't quite sound right. I could never get into the original series (my sister watched it all the time), so if they added humans in THIS series, I don't know WHAT I'll do. I suppose if they do it well it might work, but I don't think they'll even do it. And a war, too? Y'know, I would enjoy both the irony and the epicness of a war being in My Little Pony, but I'm sure the writers would find it to be nonsense. *sigh*

[Future Allie Way 185]

If it was in the foals' room, humans are probably the unicorns/pegasi of Equestria.

Little kids watch MLP, little foals watch MLHuman. (I'm pretty sure Lyra's not the only one )

That actually makes a lot of sense

[Fghik 360]

There are one million, four hundred thirty-seven thousand, two hundred and four fanfics out there relating to humans in equestria. If I want humans, I could read one of those. And as you should all know by now I don't read.

Keep humans far away from ponies. We all saw what happened in the earlier generations.

I was just kidding Steel.And no I do not want humans in MLP BIG BIG no for that.

[Fluttertree 19]

I don't think so, it wouldn't feel right - it would undermine how 'human' the ponies are in everything but looks, and would feel unnecessary in any situation.

 

Well, nearly every situation - It'll never happen, but does anyone else think a Doctor Who crossover in the style of Who Framed Roger Rabbit would be amazing?

[Ra1nbowCrasH 272]

Adding humans to Equestria would ruin the show because from the looks of things, Equestria is a utopia of sorts. If humans were to come, they would bring their problems with them.

[Eenohay 318]

Um just a little not to relevant thing, In suited for success Twilight desings a dress with constelations on it. We can see a goat a crab an scorpion and a centaur. Yes a centaur: Half horse half human (Or probably half pony). That now makes it two half human creatures in the show.

 

Also Twilight mentions orion, wich depicts a human, although we can't actually see it to confirm that it isn't actually a pony version of orion

[Steel Accord 6,660]

I apologize. I also don't want humans in the show, but just for the reason they would add a lot of unnecessary confusion. Edited April 3, 2012 by Steelquill

[Arrow 236]

It wouldn't surprise me if in one episode a random human can be seen in the background talking to Lyra or something.

 

Shows tend to get more and more silly the longer they run, and if humans were a possibility to "get more viewers" Hasbro wouldn't turn it down. Just sayin'

Equestria isn't perfect. You still have bad guys who exploit others for their own gain. (The Diamond Dogs, Gilda, The Flim Flam Brothers, etc.) You also have haughty show offs who think they are inherently better than everypony else. (Jet Set and Upper Crust or TG&PT for instance.) Not to mention the outright evil forces that threaten it like Nightmare Moon and Discord. That's not even going into the monsters that attack Ponyville with a frequency rivaling Townsville! The only real difference between Equestria and Earth is the presence of magic. Humanity has had to struggle for what most ponies take for granted. Moreover, we've done some pretty good things over the years to you know. Medicine has improved, freedom of information is now the norm, human rights is a much higher priority nowadays . . . a certain little cartoon was created.

Equestria may be ideal, but it's by no means perfect, they're just already at where we are going to be one day.

People. Human. Pony. What does it matter? The Singularity will come, and we bronies are it's heralds!

 

Because people are good, and all it takes is one or two geniuses to start a trend. Rational Idealism swag!

I know that Equestria isn't perfect, but what I meant was that compared to Earth, Equestria is a utopia: no wars, famine, etc. Humans, on the other hand, we are always fighting each other. I know that we have done alot of great things, but most of them are made to fix mistakes we've made.

[butter scotch 79]

Nope, it would happen after Lauren Faust had some indoor BBQuing with coal...

 

Not true! Famine occured in Hearths Warming Eve plus a war could be when the ponies battled Discord or the Windigoes.

Sorry I brought it up. I don't have time to debate this. Point being: I don't think humans should ever be in MLP: FiM.

We don't know what goes beyond Equestria's borders. Maybe the entire world, apart from it, is Mordor-like Hellscape populated entirely by dragons. The three pony tribes originally were NOT on friendly terms, and Commander Hurricane made it pretty clear the pegasi were willing to conquer anypony occupying their claimed territory. The reason it came to a permanent peaceful solution was, again, magic. (Not saying it's a cheat, just the way it turned out.)

"fix mistakes we've made" Who exactly is the "we" in that statement? Humanity as a whole? If you could judge an entire species by the actions of groups and individuals then:

- A. The dinosaurs must have been some serious douches.

and

- B. We should have been wiped out when Cain murdered Abel. (Or the Dodo bird got hunted to extinction for sport. Take your pick.) If someone made a mistake, either they fixed it over time, or someone saw the problem and did something to fix it themselves. We are not a hive mind nor an uncontrolled horde. I am an individual, just as much you are. History has been made by great men and women, heroes and villains, artists and soldiers (by know means exclusive.) The thing that makes us (and the ponies) human is that every single person brings something different to the table. All anybody needs is the vision to see what they truly want, the ambition to take it, and the compassion to not hurt others along the way.

That may not be how it always works out, but society keeps running for one simple reason . . . the ideal IS the norm. Most first world countries wouldn't function without the common belief in your fellow man doing his job and meaning you no harm.

I agree with you on that one.

Some ponies right? Don't get me wrong, like any brony, I would love to go to Equestria; but some refuse to acknowledge there's ANY problems there. (Or at least downplay them to illogical lows.) Edited April 4, 2012 by Steelquill

[Eenohay 318]

There's a thing besides magic that Equestria has that makes it run much better than Earth: A physical god.

 

I'm an atheist, but i know that the only way in order for humanity to work is for a omnipotent and omniscient being to command everything. That being doesn't nescesarily has to be down in Earth, but it would have to prove it's existance. Anyways that's impossible.

 

Celestia is not omnipotent or omniscient, but she is quite powerful and wise, and she is the reason Equestria runs so smoothly, but still, there are bad people like in putting your hoof down, or any villain. The concept of war exists, there's a hell, and also evil physical gods. It's nowhere near perfect.

[Beth Sycamore 28]

It doesn't have to be just any human,but it'd be a treat for me to see perha[s see an adult Megan make an appearance in Friendship is Magic. There might be an exception allowed for her and her sister Molly.

 

It's not like fans will be throwing fits,if humans were seen.

[Tiina Brown 67]

Once i thought MLP were rubbish ... and at that time, it was.

I think humans in MLP would be fully possible, the question is not what is included, but how it is included.

 

In this th thread i have read different reasons why humans should not be included, and those reasons has been of varying quality.

I'll adress those i remember:

* G1 had humans, and look at what happened to it.

... Well, judging from bronies that has managed to compare the different Generations ... and from Lauren Faust, G1 is the best generation of the "older" ones (before Lauren).

So that is not a good argument against humans in MLP.

* Sonic X included humans ...

But ... as usual, do correct me if i'm wrong ... wasn't a big part of the Sonic X story put in the "human" world?

If humans would be put into MLP, then it would be humans in the pony-world.

Those two are thusly not comparable.

* Humans are greedy, petty, and squabbling types.

Ok, 1: Not all humans are like that, and some might be so just because they feel forced by society to be so.

2: .... and that is different from some in MLP ... how?

As noted, greedy, petty, and squabbling types exist in Equestria, too.

* Humans would not fit (in).

Really? They fit into G1 .... They exist somewhere in MLP's history, so why wouldn't they fit?

* ... It wouldn't feel right ...

As vague as it seems, i consider this to be one of the better arguments, but as i have seen in several comics and a few movies and series, it is not what you include, but how it is included, that decides whether it feels right or not.

* The humans would remove the focus from the ponies.

This is what i consider to be the strongest argument against humans in the current version of MLP today.

Why?

Humans are still very much human-centered, and would quite possibly even choose any human over a pony.

If humans would get included into MLP consistently again, it would be yet another generation, or at least another .5 one.

 

What i personally think of humans in MLP?

Special Movie, MLP 4.5 or later, or fanfic.

I would not bury the idea, though.

I also like the idea of including adult Megan and/or Molly, though (see post above) ... or perhaps their daughters?

... But, it better be for just a special "double-episode", to see what the reactions would be.

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).

 

I believe this is the scene you mentioned. The pictures are to the left of Pinkie's head.

Bit of a side track here, but...there is an entire universe to run. Why should God waste time fulfilling your expectations? Who are you? Just one insignificant human. He has more important things to concern Himself with, like the war against all evil and making sure all organic life isn't wiped out in the process.

 

Your statement is offensive and disrespectful. Would you bow to the Queen of England and call her "your highness"? or would you expect to see the proof of her royal lineage for yourself before you show her proper respect.
