Season 4: Predictions & Hopes

[duidamasterXD 9,626]

, just letting you know that we already had a pinned thread for sharing things that we'd like to see in Season 4, and that I've merged your thread with it because they both covered the same issue

[Rappy0 338]

Some of the things I want

 

-CMC gets cutie marks

 

-Do something with Twilight that will show that making her a alicorn wasn't just for a new toy. But from what IDW said it dosen't look like they're going to do that. Meghan I will be disappoint.

 

-Less Brony shout-outs it fine if it's in the back ground but don't shove it in our faces like you did in EG.

 

-Better pacing. Do I really need to elaborate?

 

-Less Twilight more mane 6, Twilight's starting to become the only main character. In the season 4 premiere show that the mane 5 are still needed don't shove them in the background like you did in A Canterlot Weeding, The Crystal Empire, and Equestria Girls.

 

- Originality, Twilight's a Princess now and it would be a great opportunity to break down some female stereotypes.

 

-Get outside of Ponyville and I don't mean just go to the Crystal Empire every now and then, there are a lot of places in Equestria so why haven't we seen many of them? 

[immblueversion 331]

Ya know, I'm gonna say this, but I actually hope there's an episode that's a MLP take on "It's a Wonderful Life."

 

The story goes like this

 

-Something goes wrong that gets Princess Twilight Sparkle discouraged enough that makes her run away from her friends and her teacher.  But yet, Princess Celestia has become concerned about her depression lately and yet Twilight refuses help, claiming she failed Equestria and is not fit to being princess.  With that, she acts as if she severed her ties with her friends

 

-Twilight meets with a guardian pony of hers and, out of an act of desperation to get away from everyone she disappointed, wishes for a world where she didn't exist.

 

-She winds up getting her wish, but Equestria looks worse than it is.  Nightmare Moon has taken over all of Equestria and has banished Princess Celestia to the moon.  Ponyville has fallen into despair as 5 of the remaining Mane 6(Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy) have lost who they were.  None of them recognize Twilight

 

-Discord is freed from his statue prison and declares war on Nightmare Moon.  Even more so, the Changelings lead by Queen Chrysalis invade.  Not to mention the fact that King Sombra has taken the Crystal Heart.  Even Sunset Shimmer appears to have return, although worse off than when she left.  Canterlot has become a battleground.

 

-Realizing what she has done and that Equestria is in worse shape without her, and without Princess Celestia, Twilight asks her Guardian Angel to restore everything the way it was.  Except one problem....the Guardian Angel's attempt to do so has failed.  Someone has sabotaged her(or his) powers.  Even worse, if she doesn't return to her time zone within 12 hours, she would be stuck in this land....forever.  This ends Part 1.

 

What do you all think so far?

 

Edit: Actually, instead of the Guardian Angel's power being sabotaged, she(or he) is banished by the guardian of time for interfering with the realm that Twilight came from.  And to make matters worse, Twilight is to remain in this alternative universe as punishment by her Guardian Angel's defiance.

I think Twilight herself would know even beforehand that Equestria would be much worse off without her spearheading the Elements of Harmony. Emotional as she can get, she wouldn't just forget things like Nightmare Moon. And every time she felt crushed with the idea that she let her friends down, she always gets back on her feet.

 

- Originality, Twilight's a Princess now and it would be a great opportunity to break down some female stereotypes.

Like they haven't been doing that already?

 

They've already changed the idea of princesshood by making it a title you have to earn or deserve rather than just give it willy-nilly.

Technically, he already did.

 

While they were falling in "Secret of my Excess", Spike started to tell Rarity about his crush on her.

She put her hoof over his mouth while fighting back tears, and they exchanged a smile.

I think it's safe to say that she knows.

After that episode, she begins calling him Spikey-wikey, and the two are noticeably closer.

She's also the one most desperate to stop Spike leaving in "Dragon Quest", and she gets more heated than the others while defending him against the dragons.

 

If anything, the ball is in Rarity's court right now. Spike has made his intentions quite clear already.

Rather than hoping for another confession from Spike, we should hope for a response from Rarity.

 

She needs to give him a definite answer sooner or later.

If they've really become so close, then she should realize the cruelty of leading him on.

 

He's a little kid.  and he's gonna be alittle kid well past rarity dies.

Dragons live A LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

time.  As such i imagine he matures as a slower click.  LIke dragons can out live 5-6 generations of elves lol.

No, they really haven't unless there was an episode I missed. They kind of do give the title away" willy-nilly" we already have 4 princesses and a rumored 5th.

 

 I was talking more about what they do with her as a princess. She needs to do her own thing and not be a mini Cadance.

You might want to look at this little video below, if you haven't already. And if you have, in fact, seen it already, well, do it again.

well I kinda disagree with twilight helping luna based on friend ship and learning.

 

Twilight is in fact princess celestial right hand filly.  Princess Celestial is luna's sister.  It's just good common sense to bend over back words to play nice.   If Luna would been related to say the apple family (lol sorry insert 20 or more jokes here) I think at that time she wouldn't have gaven luna the time of day.

I just saw dr wolfs idea to fix a canterlot wedding.

 

NOT half bad.  Right down to the chaos from the battle with the changelings at that time cracking open discords statue a second time.

Point taken, i don't think a dragon/pony relationship could work either. But the original point of the post still stands.

(That Spike doesn't need to confess, because he technically already did.)

I really just want to see more Applejack. Not even her own episodes is necessary. Just any interaction with her at all would be a nice start.

 

Also, another appearance of Soarin!  

[Pandora Cutie 4]

I started watching the show after the season 3 finale, so I had everything on Youtube and didn't have to wait for new episodes. But this wait for season 4 is soo long! I hope that it will be worth it.

 

My speculations are that Twilight will continue to stay at the library with just a couple of Royal Guards. Celestia may send her some powerful magic stuff for her to examine. I saw how other people here said that she might teach others about the magic of friendship, because Celestia said that they are all her students now. I don't think I agree with that. Celestia might not have meant "students" as Twilight is, or was, to Celestia, but "Twilight's students" as in Twilight being a role model for them.

 

Changelings would be good for the season 4 finale.

 

Just my speculations, nothing confirmed.

My top three ponies have always been Twilight, Fluttershy, and Pinkie. Well, until recently. After rewatching the series with my fiance, Rarity has inched her to the top as well. I can't pick a single pony but Rainbow and Apple are definitely my least fave. I don't connect with them.

[The Neckbearded 11]

• What Celestia's "use for Discord's magic," is.
• Celestia & Discord backstory (Remember in Return of Harmony, when Discord said "Oh Celestia, I've forgotten how grim you could be)
• More songs
• The planned concepts (I won't spoil them for those who know not of them)
• Celestia and Luna backstory
• Chrysalis getting reformed
• Discord revealed as the creator of Poison Joke (my headcanon =P )
• Canon shipping, if only hinted at (such as CheeriMac)
• Coolness
• Awesomeness
• Radicalness

But basically I think that whatever they do do will be amazing, and S4 will likely be my favorite season. 

[Singe 2,109]

A few episodes like it was made by the writers of the Hyperdimension Neptunia series.

 

Introduce some alternate princesses with personalities similar to Blanc, Noire, and Vert.

[FNGRpony 655]

Pardon my cheeky ness but i think spike has about as much chance with rarirty as anyone else in the long run lol.

That and who knows how long spike will keep his "crush."

he's a kid.  Kids are fickle.

Shippers destroy lives (LOL).  haven't you seen what i learned today?

I seriously didn't know what shipping was until recently.

[Blueberry Muffin 3]

I would like to see:

•Sea Ponies (SHOO-BE-DOO SHOO-SHOO-BE-DOO)

•Other kingdoms

•Derpy Hooves

•Batponies other than Luna's Night Guards

•More changelings

•Alicornify ALL THE PONIES!!! Well, just for an episode, it could cause total chaos and destruction

•More background ponies getting to be in a speaking role at least

•Equestria Girls get banished to the moon

•Griffons other than Gilda

•Other things that I will think of after I post this

[Bastion 414]

I should probably finish watching the episodes I have missed before I comment here but I do have a few thoughts as well

(I'm not entirely blind to what is currently going on)

 

-Bringing back Derpy and giving her a episode about her would be wonderful

-A appearance of a Samurai pony would be great to (trust me to say that)

-some more episodes including discord. please

-possibly including some popular fan characters taking an appearance in a official episode.

[ShadowPhoenix 153]

Other empires and kingdoms

Discord's current situation

More adventures and quests while maintaining the awesome slice of life

Derpy Hooves

New villain

Rarity and Spike remain close friends

Reveal the other Wonderbolts

More Mythical creatures

More Equestrian history

[Rainy Dashie 8]

Well I personally think Rainbow Dash is going to give Twilight a flying lesson and as far as I know so far one of the episodes of Season 4 have this awesome song which is really catchy, I think the name was Apples to the Core. My hopes of Season 4 is another Discord episode. Now that he is reformed to his good self I'm excited to see what will happen next. 

[CookieKitty 0]

I would like to see Celestia as a temporary villain. This would be a great challenge for Twilight and also LUNA!!!!!! We need more Luna episodes.

[Seven 1]

Here is a thought, just a thought.........

 

Do we remember the "Dragon Fluttershy" speculation for season 3? Didn't happen, but Tabitha's slip of the tongue left that thought in our heads for a bit. Up until the point that the whole alicorn buisness went down and left our favourite purple friend with a whole new set of awesome powers.

 

So my prediction/spin is........... Twilight turns Fluttershy into a dragon when testing out her new powers. Whether or not it be by accident or not, but possibly by trying a spell out to fix Fluttershy's fear of dragons and getting it wrong in the process.

 

Now I don't expect that it will happen, but it's a pretty neat idea.

[danjuno 8]

1. If Twilight's Royalty status is permanent, demoted her to a supporting character and have some fresh blood take her place.

2. Flim and Flam return.

3. Less episodes centered on one character. For its many, many, many flaws, "Games Ponies Play" was the only episode not centered on a single character in S3.

4. More exploration of the world outside of Equestria.

[roguesoul 85]

• More Zecora

Showing more of the relationship between Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash

Return of Pinkamena

Celestia episode

Either Gilda or Flim and Flam come back

I may be setting my hopes too high, but a background pony episode

Musical episode

More Changelings

Sweetie Belle episode

Twilight rage shifts again, you know fiery Twi

More mentions of Tarturus

 

[Smitty91 57]

I'd like to see them tackle more serious subjects like they did in season three with bullying and in previous seasons. More heartwarming moments would be nice, as well as some more background information on Scootaloo. I'd also like to see more of the background ponies like Lyra and Bon Bon and Derpy. As a disabled person, I'd like to see an episode centered on Derpy and her disability and how she copes with it. Thanks to the soccermoms, however, that probably wouldn't happen, even though it would be a very good moral, as well as a good episode overall, given the right writer. 

[lolololol 65]

I WANT THIS AS THE SEASON 4 INTRO

I want to see the CMC get their cuties marks

No spike episodes

Meeting Pinkie pies sisters or whole family

Scootaloo to learns how to fly BUT she finds her talent on ground.

 

Can't think of more.

[Pony Munchies 47]

 

Things I'd like to see:

• Another Luna-centric episode. Actually a Celestia episode would be cool as well.
• A return of Gilda and/or Blueblood.
• A least a crumb of background for Scootaloo.
• Have them do something with Discord, at least some cameos.
• BRING BACK DERPY!!!

 

I would LOVE to see that stuff in an episode especially a Scootaloo one and Drepy one. I'm not sure thay would make a Drepy one even though EVER BORNY ON EARTH LOVES DREPY. Some people thought it was offensive when she mad her first big appearance.

That would be so cool only with the original intro song remix. Think I saw one on you tube and I really liked it.

 

I just really want one with the cutie mark crusaders getting their cutie marks
