Characters that should have episodes about them

[Forlong 1,726]

This topic has come up for a few minor characters, so I thought I'd just make an overall thread on the topic.  Any character that you feel should have an episode focusing on them?

 

Big Mac, you deserve an episode, don't you think?

[Sir.Flutter Hooves 2,953]

Big Mac, but also these awesome ponies as well:

 

1. Tom, maybe he and Bloomburg as detectives? Awesome episode.

 

2. Gravy Boat, he and Discord making a band with guest appreance by Bill Cosby.

 

3. Bloomburg, again he and tom as detectives.

Applejack's parents.

 

Erm... I dunno. Maybe the Princesses? Like, explaining the history behind Luna and Celestia (how they defeated Discord, how Celestia banished Luna to the moon, etc... ), or maybe explaining how Cadence went from a pegasus to an alicorn.

[Scootalove 10,692]

1. Apple Bloom

2. Sweetie Belle

- Including Scootaloo

3. Big Macintosh

4. Trixie

5. Celestia - More elaboration on her past

6. Luna - More elaboration on her past as well

pardon me, but wouldn't this thread be fuel for fan pandering fantasies? Sure the sentiment is nice but what could be done with a bg char that couldn't be done with the mane six?

[Moonlight 7,291]

Being serious here, here are my choices:

 

• Diamond Tiara...
• Princess Celestia

Those are the two that come to mind. Celestia is my second favorite pony, so it'd be nice to see more of her...

[ThunderHooftheBrave 11]

Big Macintosh needs an episode and so does Princess Celestia! It would be really cool if in season four Hasbro decided to give like a few of the fan favorites a bigger part in the episode or have an episode where the mane six aren't the focus where it's a few other ponies.

 

 

1. Apple Bloom

2. Sweetie Belle

3. Big Macintosh

4. Trixie

5. Celestia - More elaboration on her past

6. Luna - More elaboration on her past as well

 

I agree with Scootalove that Princess Celestia and Luna should have a episode about their pasts. That would be so awesome! Like the whole like "How did they get here?" "Who are their parents?" and other questions could be answered. That would be really neat!

[OkBuddy 586]

I wonder what it would be like if Lyra had her own episode. Then again, I'd doubt she'd have an episode.

But a character that does need an episode would have to be the Princess of the night herself.

Best episodes ever.

 

Okay, as for my answer, I say Princess Celestia needs an episode. (For the love of God, she needs some character development) and Silver Spoon. Why Silver Spoon and not Diamond Tiara? Because I think DT truly is mean, while maybe SS has some reason for following her around.

My hoping against hope side (the side that will never happen ever) is a Fancy Pants episode, because he has so much potential (and no it's not because he wears a suit and therefore is handsome. ... Well, maybe a little bit.  )  But seriously, it'd be cool to see into the life of a Canterlot pony with a bit more depth.

[Megas 28,112]

1) Princess Celestia

2) Anyone else

 

Sure, I'd be happy to see an episode centering Big Mac, or even Diamond Tiara get there focus, but c'mon. It's been 3 seasons and Celestia still needs an episode for herself(especially since Luna has Luna Eclipse while ACW and the Crystal Empire technically go to Cadance)

MAYOR MARE! PLEASE!

 

A episode about Mayor Mare may make her not as underrated and unloved as she is now. Plus, it might be interesting to see the everyday life of the mayor on Ponyville.

 

An episode about Princess Celestia would be nice too. Oh, and a Silver Spoon one as well.

[~Silver Essence~ 2,625]

Vinyl scratch and Octavia.

For vinyl, we've seen her a couple of times in some episodes, and heck, she even appeared in equestria girls! So it's only a matter of time before she gets something more than just an appearance.

 

As for Octavia, if she is basically the background version of rarity with voice, sophistication, and class, I REALLY want to see more about her other than just appearing in canterlot parties.

[GhostPony750 959]

What about an episode about Star Swirl the Bearded? It would be a great occasion to learn more about Equestria's history, and an important character in the show. (somewhat)

 

And Mayor Mare is also a good idea.

[pinkiefan1287 610]

I think that Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake should have an episode to themselves. It would just be how the 2 see the world and going on some odd adventure. It would also be cool to see how their powers developed.

 

Star Swirl should also get just, so we can learn more about him.

Where's Scootaloo?  I'd expect someone named "Scootalove" would want more Scootaloo.

 

Since we're on the subject, Scoots needs more episodes.

 

pardon me, but wouldn't this thread be fuel for fan pandering fantasies? Sure the sentiment is nice but what could be done with a bg char that couldn't be done with the mane six?

So what?

[Shanks 10,817]

1. Derpy: the record needs to be set straight that Derpy is not nor has ever been an offensive stereotype, I know such an episode is unlikely after what happened but still.

 

2. Applejack's parents: the whole idea that childrens cartoons cannot deal with death in a thoughtful, responsible manner is a load of bull. Rugrats, Hey Arnold and even Sesame Street have dealt with the subject though with Hey Arnold it did leave it a tad open ended to be fair. It would add to an already great character with Applejack and might help dispel her undeserved reputation as the "boring one".

 

3. Big Macintosh: he is my favorite stallion, but seriously Granny Smith and Applebloom have had episodes and of course AJ has had them so why not Big Mac? 

 

4. Celestia and Luna: more particularly their relationship with each other and a bit more on Celestia outside of her roles as ruler and mentor. 

[Venomshank 121]

Celestia should have an episode, but it should turn out that she has tea parties with toys or something funny like that in her spare time.

I love how when the creative staff does something that fans don't want it's destroying the series, but when they do something that fans do want it's pandering. They can't win, can they?

 

This is pretty typical for a fandom, but I was hoping that it wouldn't be as prevalent in Bronies. Fans are never happy. They won't allow it. You can't be a 'fan' without suffering and persecution. Supposedly.

LOL that would present a rather interesting opportunity to parody the aspects of what a "girls show" should be and also give the message that just because someone likes some of that stuff dosen't automatically make them 2 dimensional and shallow.

[NavelColt 22,883]

It's my current phase talking no doubt, but I want to see an episode in where we get to see some Thunderlane and Rumble bonding time. The only time we've seen the two in the same episode was Hurricane Fluttershy, and they weren't actually on screen at the same time, since Thunderlane was at the hospital, sick. It was brought to my attention by some comments on Derpibooru pics that they're the only known pair of brothers revealed so far on the show. That's partially why I jumped on Thunderlane as a new favorite side character, as I've always had a soft spot and weakness for brother relationships :3

 

But anyway, maybe not as a prime, prime focus *as I just can't see the show realistically suddenly doing that*, but an episode where they get high amounts of screen time, playing around, hanging out, etc. Possibly with some of the other pegasi at points, like Cloud Chaser and her sister.

..........

 

So because people might like we shouldn't do it.

 

Seems like some jay wilson logic.  "no we can't do what the fans want, I know best!"  I saw how that one worked out.

[duidamasterXD 9,627]

It's actually almost crazy how we've gone through three seasons without any kind of a Celestia episode. Really now, she's clearly one of the most important characters in the whole show.

 

Lightning Dust needs one as well, or one heavily featuring her. It'd be a shame to let such a wonderful side character go to waste. I'd also like to see Sunset Shimmer, though it'll never happen.

I'm told shimmer got some focus in the comic.

 

and with celestial less is more really.  I mean a celestial centered epsidoe would basically show her finding other people to do stuff for her lol

 

mark my words in 2-3 seasons she'll have twilight bringing up the sun LOL Mark my words.  MARK THEM!
