FNGRpony 658 September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 Do you think MLP would be fun if the primary setting was school? the main six are still in equistra, are still ponies (can't stress this enough LOL). Wonderbolts could been some kind of School team, or had a jr branch, I think Pinkee as a class clown woudl be amazing, Not sure if they could do to much with apple jack (but it's not like they do alot with her now),You'd be able to fight a nitch for rarity easily, I keep picturing hogwarts kinda, i understand they don't all use magic, but i think their's be alot promise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvTYhrZUgYY flight to the finish. i continue to improve, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Adventurer 211 September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 (edited) I don't think I would like this as much as I like the actual show. I think the school setting is played out or at least I'm really tired of it (a lot of franchises I love feature it like the Persona series). I can see how it would work but to be honest I'm not sure I'd watch it or at least I wouldn't like it as much. The fantasy elements add a lot to the series for me and I don't think the two would work that well together. But now that I think about it I really liked the Wonderbolt academy episode. I don't know if that counts as school setting though. Edited September 17, 2013 by Armchair Adventurer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverreverb 129 September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 I'm rather tired of the school setting. I think its been used enough as it is. the current setting with the mane 6 past school works fine. chances are the series wouldn't be as good if the series was in a school setting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smarts 1,622 September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 I wouldn't watch it. I hate any show with a school setting because school is awful in every way possible. There are no redeemable qualities about school. The show is fine how it is with the setting. Sorry, I just hate school with a fiery passion and any show with that setting becomes hated by me. 1 IF is best girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNGRpony 658 September 17, 2013 Author Share September 17, 2013 I'm not a big fan of school either, i think it would boil down to how fun they'd make the teachers on the show. I liked the idea because it would be alot easier to have Antognists side by side on a daily grind with the protagnists. We'd certainly get more trixie, and Honestly it woudl open up using back ground ponies as more than well, JUST BACK GROUND! Hell there's enough floating around in the back ground to make a second show, maybe 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvTYhrZUgYY flight to the finish. i continue to improve, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostPony750 959 September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 It would be quite unoriginal, and they are quite tight when it comes to writing episodes, because it needs to fit with one theme. But with MLP, where the main focus is not school, they can explore every single parts of Equestria, interact with everyone, we can explore the history of everything. I think it's one of the reasons MLP i so popular, and it wouldn't be the same if it was school based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,689 September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 If the whole show was school based, it would get repetitive and boring really fast. It would just lose my interest really fast. Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orablanco Account 3,707 September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 One of my favorite things about the show is that the main characters are all (relatively) adult with careers and ambitions, as opposed to the previous generations where they were all basically kids. That was one of my main gripes with EQG, actually: all these characters who were grown up and developed as such were reduced to bloody teenagers in high school. I prefer the show this way, thank you.

Champion RD92 8,658 September 18, 2013 Share September 18, 2013 I would actually like it, I always wanted something like Equestria Girls where they are at school, except I want them to stay as ponies and not be humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always pictured them being 16ish. I mean with how pinkie acts it's rather impossible to gauge. I think twilight personality wouldn't shift all that fast. 14 on she'd probrably for the most part be the same person. that's an interesting question with age which do you see of the cast changing the most? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvTYhrZUgYY flight to the finish. i continue to improve, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygen 6,066 September 19, 2013 Share September 19, 2013 Well, as ponies i wouldn't mind it, EqG's wasn't even bad in my opinion i enjoyed it. While I don't think i'd enjoy it quite as much if it was confined to school, it would still be interesting. Maybe for some random episode. Of course i don't know how pony school even works, or how long their education system lasts. Plus twilight went to a school in canterlot, who knows where the others went. maybe they should have an episode where Twilight turns them young again and they all have to go to school together idk ;p. I wouldn't mind an episode or two dealing with it, but if the series was in a school i don't think it'd be quite as.. magical ;p. Thanks to Gone Airbourne for the awesome sig!

FNGRpony 658 September 19, 2013 Author Share September 19, 2013 I like the age regression idea, imagine if they all lost their marks?the cutie crusaders would become legion LOL.

DubWolf 17,263 September 19, 2013 Share September 19, 2013 Haha, that would be Equestria Girls all over again! Besides the fact that they wouldn't be humans of course. I think we have enough "school shows" on television. I'd rather have the mane 6 adventure around saving villages from sleeping dragons, traveling to Canterlot to see folks, and other places over keeping the entire My Little Pony series concealed in a school building.

Well you wouldn't have to have them in the school all the time. Hell Percy jackson's setting is a school for Demi humans. the adventures take place out side the school. What if discord was one of the teachers? Would that help?

Eh, never been a fan of the idea that they were teens. I'd imagine Twilight is probably 20-ish when the show starts, with her apprenticeship with Celestia being a formof higher education, like college. But again, I just prefer them to be adults in their 20's. Much more interesting. Onwards to my DeviantArt page! Sig by the illustrious Kyoshi!

Paleopony 701 September 24, 2021 Share September 24, 2021 I'm honestly not a big fan of a school setting, so I wouldn't like it as much as the show we got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Flame 33 September 24, 2021 Share September 24, 2021 (edited) Hm.. I'm sorry, but i don't think it would be as good as the original show. I personally wouldn't have become a fan if it was some sorta of high-school setting show. I've seen plenty of those, and that trope is becoming rather boring and stagnant in my opinion. The thing is, i'm a fan of the show because it doesn't have anything to do with school. I already have plenty of experience with school, and i wouldn't want to see it on a show that i watch when i'm calm and comfortable in my home. Honestly, the shows that better fit the school setting are those random comic shows that you usually watch when you have nothing else to watch.

Astralshy 26,626 September 25, 2021 Share September 25, 2021 I definitely prefer the setting of FiM (without school of Friendship).
