Should there be a Shining Armor episode?

[100 beasts kaidou 321]

Or atleast an episode where he gets a big role in it and the episode is not about Cadence or Twilight. The reason I am asking this Because Shining is pretty much living in the shadows of his wife in every episode he is in it, I mean hes a Prince and the Royal Gaurds captain and the Co ruler of the Crystal empire However He barely has a character.Even Big Mac got a Big role in a episode that wasnt about the apple family (The Heart and hooves episode) I can come up with three episode ideas:

1) Episode about him and Spike

2) Episode about Him and Prince Blueblood

3) episode about the royal gaurds

I wouldn't mind seeing him in a few of those royal training videos.

 

*Yes you too can be a part of the few, the proud, the royal guards*

 

Or an episode with all the guys. Maybe well find out what "really" happened at the batchelor party???

Yes giving him more dimension would be great. If he' s anything like his sister he must be pretty awesome. I hope they do it and give him a episode.

I would be all for an episode about Shining Armor. I think it well still have to involve Cadence or Twilight in some way. Seeing as they are characters connected him. Still I would like to see it.

I am not saying that they shouldnt appear at all. however i dont want them to take big roles in it. we know almost nothing about him. Stuff like his relation ship with spike, Or Celestia or Blueblood or the other royal gaurds are unknown.

[Leafeon 2,702]

But, is it possible to make him something other then the brother that just has to be there because Cadance and Twiliot are there?

 

I wouldn't mind it if he had a personality.

Hopefully he will get a slice-of-life episode as Meghan has confirmed that there will be a few. Though I think it would be hard for the writers NOT to include Cadance in some way since they are married, though of course, there are times they 'd be by themselves for some reasons.

 

We just have to wait for Season 4~....sadly ._.

It would be nice for them to have a huge role, but I don't think well learn about his relationships with others. I mean Spike can just be a younger brother of the family, Celestia would just be guard, but they might have something, and I don't think he would have much conation with Blueblood. Maybe an episode where Blueblood is set to train with Shining so he can become more braver or less selfish.

[Rolls Royce 606]

I wouldn't mind seeing an episode about Shining Armor.  Say he and Spike sort of have a guys night out while Twilight and Cadence do some royal tasks.  Spike is sort of Shining's brother in law if you think about it.

.....Brother in law...I dint know twilight and spike were married....unless you mean half brother.

anyway a guys night out episode would be great.(Aslong as Blueblood is in it)

[Scootalove 10,692]

Maybe it could be Shining Armor visiting Ponyville, and seeing how life is in Ponyville. To see if Twilight is happy and accounted for.

[Floris 287]

No, he seems to be a good side-character.

 

 

His character in general isn't even that interesting when you look at him, they technically gave him the character of your standard fairy tale knight in armour.

 

Not much to be progressed there, unless being over possessive with his sister.. but he seems clever enough not to do such things.

 

 

 

 

 

Say he and Spike sort of have a guys night out

 

 

I wouldn't want an episode about that, but I would like some interaction between them.. They never had it before, you know that? 0%

 

Let the few males communicate for the least!

Could well be nicely linked into her new found alicorn power's and how she misuse them or can't handle something with them in some way?

[Scootalove 10,692]

Yeah, to see if she is accountable and very capable of handling her powers. It could probably, go good for her in a way if Shining Armor checks in on her progress.

[Skycoaster 698]

I could see there being a Shining Armor episode. Keep in mind that the royal coronation contest winner was a boy, so they may....may try to have a few more male characters appearing in the show to try to capitalize on that.

?Hasbor announces Pony action figures.  

 

But in all serious, My idea for a Shining Armor episode would involve him coming to Ponyville, as captain of the guard to try to assign a guard for Twilight, only to realize that she can take care of herself. 

[Planty 1,053]

Definatly

 

And i would imagine they will also bring cadence into this as well at some point, she seems to be being written into the show as an "older sister" type of figure to Twilight.

[Jokuc 8,175]

YES!

And YES again!

 

I have never thought about that actually. But I like all three of your ideas!

Let's say it is Twilight Sparkle's birthday and both Spike and Shining Armor wants to give her something special for being a good friend and a great big brother.

 

So Spike and Shining Armor meet and plans this big event for Twilight. Now a party since they all know she would probably prefer something.. A little bit different. So without telling Twi where they're going, Spike tells Twilight to follow him somewhere. There, her brother Shining Armor waits for her and Spike so they can follow her to what she will witness.

Yea that's what I meant, I kind of derped on my family terminology at that moment, just got back from class when I posted it :3  But yea, a guy's night out episode would be fun to see.

[Righteous Fury 344]

Would like to see some sort of magic contest/rivalry between Twilight and Shining. We've seen the mushy side of their relationship, now let's explore some good old sibling competition.

[Sonicrules831 520]

I think Shining Armor having an episode would be great! He's pretty cool. I think something along the lines of his life and being captain of the royal guard or maybe like what RightrousFury or SkyCoaster and Jokuc said.

[Fan of Silverstream 51]

I think a few eps would do good,  one of him and twilight,  being a caption and his history to that

and him baby sitting!  Maybe a sort off "father to be" lead for such things!  Or  he thinks Cadence

is preggy when he mis hears a convo between her and twilight and how he deals with it.

[Radiance64 7,059]

Yeah he should have an episode, or at least have a bigger role in a few.

Shining Armor isn't a bad character, but he isn't a great one either, and I would like to see him fleshed out a bit more. Games Ponies Play was actually a great start for that, for we saw a side or two of him that we hadn't seen before- more stuff like that would be nice.

[Sugar Cube 4,843]

I would love to see an episode dedicated to him, and maybe even Cadence if need be. The thing that makes these two characters unique, is that they could potentially be the characters to give us relationship storylines, and that could be a nice niche for both of them, much like how the Apple Family gives us family stories and lessons. Not that I want MLP to have a big focus on romance or anything, because I don't, but I do like Shining Armor enough to be fine with him having an episode of focus. And Big Mac too. Maybe an episode with Twilight, Applejack, and their two big bros. That could be pretty entertaining.

No you dont understand what I said. I said an Episode about Shining Armor outside of being the husband abd brother of two alicorns

[DwarfEmo13 34]

I think that A Canterlot Wedding was fairly centred around Shining Armor. I do however agree with you I'd like the show to explore him and Twilights background a bit more...
