Season 4: Predictions & Hopes

[Midnight Gaze 131]

• A more in-depth explanation of Equestrian history and the Princesses
• More Rarity episodes
• More background information on Pinkie Pie, Scootaloo, and most of the mane six
• Derpy, although the chances of her getting an episode are slim in my opinion. All of the episodes so far have been about the mane six, spike, or a princess. *sigh*

Yeah, thats pretty much it.

 

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.

 

 

The same think happened to me! It's been kind of hard to wait this long. But hey, only about a month left.  

 

In the meantime, i'll be watching season 2 over again. 

[WaterDragon 1]

More Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo <3 But I think we'll definitely see that. So, for the things that would be super awesome but aren't definite:

• Background on Applejack's parents, something to open up some new development for Applejack.
• More explanation of what the world is like... what's beyond Equestria?
• Some history of Celestia and Luna.
• More serious development of Spike. His comedy is good (omg the faces are adorable), but I like his wise/serious side too.
• A concrete explanation of Twilight's new cutie mark?! The possibilities and speculation are killing me.
• More fantasy creatures, showing that ponies share the world with other creatures.

I could go on forever. I just want ponies! More MLP and I will be happy.

I want to see a Star Swirl the Bearded episode. And if i dont get one.... My heart wont explode... Not even twice....
 

Id also like to know what happened to AJ's parents and why spike didnt have wings in secret of my excess

[Brony Number 42 10,044]

I want to see an Equestria Girls cross over. I want EG to be part of the normal show cannon. In fact, how about canceling the show altogether and just do EG show from now on? Yeah, that's what I want.

[DJRainbowDash 723]

I want a Rarity centered episode that focuses less on her fashion and overall desire to be part of the higher class. Instead, I'd like it to focus on her element. 

 

I know we'll get a Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash episode somewhere. They better do it, I'll be a little peeved if they don't 

[Not_A_Replicant 96]

4 Words. Flash. Sentry. Pony. Commando. Oh and a Luna and Derpy episode would be nice too. Anypony with me? An episode themed around Shining Armor and Flash would be so cool, since they are both soldiers.

My honest but sad answer is that I think there going to get rid of derpy, since she hasn't been in any of the latest episodes though.

She was in Magical Mystery Cure multiple times she will most likely be in season 4, but she probably wont have a speaking role at all.

[DJShy 872]

Things I would love to see during season 4, or any other upcoming season (season 8, anypony?):

 

 

1. Another Luna episode. I want more background on my favorite princess's personality.
2. Another Scootaloo episode, this time with some of her background.
3. Another Fluttershy episode, so Hasbro can build upon her friendship with Discord.
4. Discord. Make his a background pony for all I care, just make him seen!
5. At least one CMC member gets his/her cutie mark.
6. More CMC members with at least one colt.
7. Another shipping episode. Preferably with CMC *coughApplebloomcough*

 

As you can see, I want more episodes. "Why so many hopes," you might be asking.

 

Simply because More hopes = better chance one will come true.

[Phantom Wolf 9]

Dare I say it? yes, yes I will.

 

-Less Rarity

 

DON'T HURT ME!!

 

I just don't like her.

 

I would like to see:

 

-Scootaloo's parents

-Apple family's parents

-Pinkie Pie and her family + rock farm

-Cadance has a baby. A ROYAL baby. . . but not an alicorn

-Spike gets wings

-Doctor Whooves

-and Derpy

-Sweetie Belle gets her cutie mark in singing

-LOTS of Big Mac

[immblueversion 331]

There's been noise over on the Season 4 Info thread that Scootaloo will be the first to get her cutie mark in the "Scootaloo can't fly" episode. Then there's the rumor that Sweetie Belle will be getting a big musical number this season, which can only mean she'd get her mark too. If this is the case, then we have ourselves an interesting scenario: for the second time since "Call of the Cutie", Apple Bloom will be the only one of her friends to still be a blank flank. Just imagine the potential of an episode about Apple Bloom despairing that the two fillies who helped give her courage now bear a constant reminder of her failures, and building upon her fears that she must continue her search for her true calling alone once more. Maybe then the love of her friends shining through will be the key to unlocking her talent, perhaps.

[Rainbow Eclipse 3,926]

Perhaps or perhaps not in Scootaloo's flying episode, have her family appear! I know this is probably all around the forums, but we get to see 0% of her home or even her relatives.

[ovr9000percentcooler 107]

I would really like to see an episode revolving around the royal life. Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Twilight, doesn't matter. I've always wanted to see what really goes about the castle, from meetings to royal obligations, rules, etc. Kind of like Shrek the Third, but.........

 

I take that back.

[Lyridian 254]

-luna-focused episodes

- if one of the cutiemark crusaders dont get there cutie mark, i might just cry!!

-Rainbowdash teaches twilight to useher wings

All these!

[Proctra Music 335]

Scootaloo becomes alicorn. Pinkie Pie turns into Flying Spaghetti Monster, Celestia and Luna become one pone and go to the moon to create a new race of pone.

 

Totally canon.

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177]

Possibly a male protagonist?.... Perhaps our mane six befriend a Dark Hearted stallion, that never had a friend before?.... Maybe ive watched to much harem anime, but this seems like a great idea..... Did some1 say "Secret 7th element that not even celestia/luna knew about"?

[Luffyiscool 397]

Dare I say it? yes, yes I will.

 

-Less Rarity

 

Liking her or not, that's a little bit unfair.

She didn't get an episode in season 3, so she's actually due for a couple of episodes.

[Buttonmash1973 1,024]

The CMC go to far causing a lot of trouble. While Scootaloo and Sweetie Bell get lighter punishments. Applejack resorts to some kind of over the top punishment. It causes problems between them. 

 

 

That CMC idea sounds good to me. Discord coming back with a song. And I am hoping that  Season four also will finally show Starswirl the Bearded.

[Flutter's lover <3 8,204]

~More singing Fluttershy. Such a soft and beutiful singing voice, I"d love to hear more of it...Pinkie and Twilight seem to steal most of the songs.

~Discord

~Princess Celestia and/or  Luna singing at least once. and more over all screentime.

~More Wonderbolts, mostly Spitfire though.

~Chrissy come back.

~another holiday themed episode.

~Royal baby perhaps. To go with the real royal baby.

~More background to Scootaloo

~CMC get their cutie marks.

 

 

Probably more stuff I could think of,...If I do I'll add it in later.

Looking at spoilers, I think you will get what you want.

With how they botched this guy, I'm not sure about that:

 

Good thing Shining Armor found out Flash was hitting on his sister and transferred him to Siberia.  Wait, that's needs to have a horse pun in it.  Er...how does "Sibridle" sound?

[KikiTwilight 90]

Hmmm... I want so many things, but... ^^ we'll see how much we'll get of these. I probably won't say anything that's not said before, since I'm definitely not that smart, but... we'll see XD

 

However:

• Muuuuuch more Luna! <3 My hopes have gotten back in 3rd season when she started appearing more, but in first two seasons she was really underestimated. Maybe her back-story, maybe even her and Celestia's flashbacks about their childhood or simply earlier days. It would be nice seeing her coming to dreams again, or simply her everyday life. Maybe she should visit Ponyville again?
• Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo. Enough said. I love them both, and I would really love to see their sisterly relationship they recently built. Maybe RD could help Scoots improve her flying abilities, or even be her personal coach in things she does to earn her cutie mark. They could have a episode just for themselves, so we could see more of their emotional parts (both tend to show no emotions, but not seem to be like that when alone). Simply, them hanging out =D .
• More Zecora! Maybe even her flashback, so that we could see that "far away land" she claims to be coming from. More of her interaction with Apple Bloom (I always thought she had special connection with her). Blah, blah.
• Crusaders getting their cutie marks. I know it sounds a bit story spoiling, but that would start a whole new era for them. Who knows what they might be doing after that? Scoots, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle don't appear to be the ones who'll forget about each other as far as they achieve their goal. Maybe they'll form a new club?
• Seeing more of Alicorn Twilight life. That is probably going to happen, since she is a main character after all but still. Many details, like how she got accustomed to her wings, or crown, or how she goes with political life. Yeah, flying lessons from RD could be great, but not at the same time as Scootaloo, please =P . It would be also great to see how she gets along with her subjects, and, simply, how she feels as a ruler.
• Sunset Shimmer and Flash Century.  Not as boyfriend and girlfriend, though =P . I really got into them both in Equestria Girls, and I would love to see them back, as ponies - of course. Sunset Shimmer used to be Celestia's student, so it would be natural of her to come back to see her old teacher and apologize to her. I would personally love to see Sunset taking Celestia's place as a teacher at some point. As for Flash... well, I ship him and Twilight, so...
• Less Rarity episodes. Sorry, but out of main character she had most episodes only for herself (maybe even more than Twi did), and that's enough. I like her, not to be mistaken, I only think she got too much credit already. Seeing more of episodes featuring her and Sweetie's relationship could be nice, though.
• More Rainbow Dash episodes. She's the only one of mane 6 who still doesn't have a song for herself, which is a shame, since she's totally awesome. It would be nice to see more of her family, where she lives, blah, blah.
• Scootaloo episode for herself. I'm tired of not knowing anything about that amazing CMC! Does that pony even have a home?
• More cities. Really, all we've seen is Ponyville, Canterlot, Cloudstale, a bit of Appleloosa, and some more from flashbacks. I would love to see more of Manehatten (maybe Apples could visit Babs' family?) and all the other places they keep talking about.
• A good villain. I can't deny it, all of MLP villains till now were pretty good, I just hope it will stay that way.
• Seeing Discord as a good guy. He only appeared once in season 3, with no further explanation what had happened to him. Is he living with Princess Celestia and Luna in Canterlot, or is he living separately? What is his relationship with Fluttershy and rest of the mane 6? Is he still as mischievous as he used to be? There are sooo many things that need answers about him.
• Twilight's early days in Canterlot. Yeah, I would love to see her thinking about how she started as a mare student, and now being a princess blah, blah. But anything from her old days in school. Being an egghead... I would love to see it =P
• At least one more holiday episode, like the one about founding of Equestria! It's very interesting, and shows the power of friendship on a different level.

Basically, this, and many more stuff. If they used even 1/4 of all this, I'd be happy, but they probably won't. I can still dream though X) .

[Infinity Despair 7]

King Sombra should come back in Season 4 because he was underwhelming  in season 3....bring him back...full power this time! It needs to happen...

[ghostfacekiller39 23,860]

More freakin' Rarity.

 

And a better portrayal of her, too. Season 3 not only gave her a grand total of 0 episodes, but pretty showed nothing but her negatove aspects. It pissed me off, man.

 

I mean, what made me like her was the fact that I thought it was so cool how her character arc was portrayed in the first two seasons. Usually those arcs are reserved for antagonists, but she broke that mold. Plus, throw in an engaging personality, realistic flaws, and that sexy voice that Tabitha St. Germain gives her, you got my #1 favorite character. 

 

I've watched all of season 3, but the only ones I've watched more than once was The Crystal Empire and Too Many Pinkie Pies (The latter being twice.)

 

Ok. That's my #1 thing.

 

Pinkie Pie's past. I've always wondered about that Rock Farm.

 

Less Rainbow Dash and Twilight, albeit still a lot of them. I'm sorry, but those two get too much attention, although they do deserve some attention.

 

Oh, and more Rarity. Have I said that yet?

 

Yeahh, that's pretty much it.

[Luffyiscool 397]

Less Rarity episodes. Sorry, but out of main character she had most episodes only for herself (maybe even more than Twi did), and that's enough.

 

http://mlpforums.com/topic/48808-number-of-episodes-attributed-to-a-certain-character/

 

Sorry, but the link above shoots that statement down. There is no way that Rarity has the most episodes.

She has less episodes than Applejack, the one who was labelled "best background pony" for her lack of episodes.

 

Although, I admit that Rarity DOES get a lot of screentime.

If you scroll down in the thread you can see that Rarity is in 3rd place when it comes to overall screentime, beaten only by Pinkie and Twilight.

Okey, sorry, I admit I was wrong about it. Do not hate me for it   . It just seemed to me that way, of course I can be mistaken, anyone can.
