CMC Spin-Off

[Freewave 1,145]

Honestly it will be disappointing if they don't get them this season. I mean how much further can they put this off (they seem to be indicating it should happen this year). But no it doesn't make sense to split resources to have 2 shows when cmc has already had several episodes already and we're waiting a year+ between seasons for vanilla mlp anyway.

If the CMC getting their own show meant that they moved away from Ponyville and left FIM, except for an occasional reunion episode, then yeah, I could dig that.  (I like the CMC just fine, but I could do with less of them, honestly.)

You know instead of moving away from Ponyville, they should still stay remained in Ponyville, because after all: It's their home.

[MAIKUN 262]

If the Cutie Mark Crusaders had their own spin-off show, I would at the very least demand that Babs Seed be a regular character on the show.

 

Oh, and that Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon appear a lot more too. Because I do actually like them as well.

 

Plus, more Snips and Snails. Because I do actually like them as well.

And don't forget Twist and Truffle Shiffle as regular characters as CMC's friends as well as Button Mash....as the new Blank Flank

[Little Red 1,529]

I think it would be a lot of fun as a mini-series. Not premiering on T.V, though. Episode length 10 minutes max.

It would be an awesome concept, though.

[BohabofEquestria 58]

This probably wouldn't be a show that I would get into much.

Yeah. The CMC having their own show.... Pass.

At this point, they don't need to do a bunch of random crap to get their cutie marks, they already have an idea how what they want to do (well, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle do at least).

 

I prefer episodes that focus on just the character, not them trying to get a cutie mark. If there was a CMC spinoff that did this, I'd love it. More screen time for best pony! c:

[MAIKUN 262]

Since we had episodes focusing on the Crusaders operate on their own rules, with different style of writing and character interactions. So what if they just go for it and give the Crusaders its own spin-off? Just in case they (the Cutie Mark Crusaders) don't get their marks in season 5, season 6 or the movie, they should deserve their own show. The theme song would be based on "Diamond Only" by E-girls but with English lyrics. And I got an brilliant idea: The CMC should let Button Mash join the group as a quartet. Button Mash would still be voiced by ShadyVox as well as Button's mom voiced by EileMonty. Literally I got this CMC spinoff idea in my head since Summer 2014 (could be July). In what could be considered an alternate continuity to the original (the spin-off series shares no relation/connection to the main series aka G4.1) And speaking of Scootaloo's family and home situation, it SHOULD be addressed in this CMC spinoff by now. Even since Lauren Faust originally pitched an CMC spinoff (intended to be the one based on "Call of the Cutie" episode) and sadly it never surfaced again. But this time, the CMC spinoff will be under my vision of JanAnimations, the crew at DHX Vancouver, Hasbro Studios and myself....MAITANZA. In what could be considered an alternate continuity to MLP:FiM (the spin-off series shares no relation to the series, but it will take place during Season 5 but with Twilight's castle home!!)

 

In my opinion, Applebloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and the new CMC member Button Mash would continue their unsuccessful attempts to get their cutie marks. But instead of having 22-minute traditional episodes, the spinoff would air in a half-hour format comprising two 11-minute episodes via Atomic Betty, SpongeBob SquarePants, The Fairly OddParents and of course The 7Ds. Some will have 22-minute traditional episodes (BUT NOT A LOT) The spinoff will follow the Slice-Of-Lice format as well too. Well some 22-minute traditional episodes maybe. I mean I really do enjoy the comics though. And to my opinion: The comics should interfere with the show or put some Comic Book series references into the CMC spinoff now. For example, episode 1-A should be adapted from the My Little Pony Micro Series issue 7 when they (the CMC) befriended an a Greater Equestrian Mimicker (Globulus Improbulus) to whom Scootaloo gives the name "Imp" who can shape-shift into anything except ponies!

 

I think Babs Seed should be promoted as a regular character on the CMC spinoff show...As well as Truffle Shuffle and Twist being promoted to regular characters, but as their friends too..Plus we should see the debut of the Manehatten CMC branch too. In my closing thought, the CMC should have their own spinoff series. I think I meant "Generation 4.1" In such a spinoff though I would really like to see them as the way they are without their cutie marks as "Everlasting Blank Flanks". And plus I don't want them growing up yet.

 

Let's be serious in here: And I supose the "You can't be a cutiemark crusader if you have a cutiemark" rule explains why Applebloom hasn't spent any time with Twist since the crusaders were formed. I mean that's ridiculous at all!

 

Once a foal gets their cutie mark, they're always be friends until the end. Because friends don't abandon each other. Just like the Cutie Mark Crusaders, they can even help other ponies find their cutie marks as well. "Well, you can't be a Cutie Mark Crusader if you've already got your cutie mark.." well you're Wrong, Scootaloo! Being a pony with a cutie mark, does NOT change you at all. But when Sweetie Belle said that "the clubhouse is for Crusaders only", why not start a division in the CMC clubhouse (involving Blank Flanks and ponies with cutie marks doing various fun things (not involved in searching for a cutie mark) like Indoor playdates, Picnics, playing hide-and-seek, Insect Hunting (Pony version of Jellyfishing), etc. Good idea.

 

But...when Apple Bloom said that "a cutie mark won't change who we are or how everypony feels about us" does not change anyone at all. They're still them inside no matter what. If they're a Crusader or not, they can be still be friends right? Plus, SB did say that "We're lucky we're all scared of the same things. That way we can help and remind each other to just be who we are!"

 

Listen, about this whole CMC spinoff thing, I got this idea or inspiration taken from the Ask the Cutie Mark Crusaders website. And IF they do it, they have to hire fan VAs like ShadyVox and EileMonty as well as some American anime voice actors too!

I think there is a very good chance of their being a mini-series starring the CMC and I would look forward to it.

[MAIKUN 262]

No I don't want this as a mini-series, I rather see it as an 22-minute traditional series (with 2 11-minute episodes)! thank you very much!!

[superdogz1999 551]

Here is my idea for a CMC spinoff:

The television series will be done with flash animation.

The voice actresses will remain unchanged.

The show will be in a 22 minute format like its parent show.

The theme song will be a remixed version of the CMC song from the Show Stoppers.

The premise will be: A group of three fillies join forces to defeat evil and not only save their land, but also to try to get their Cutie Marks.

Snips and Snails will be the comedy relief in the series.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon will be surrporting charaters in the series.

Said CMC spinnoff was planned at early times. I don't see the point of making one now, but maybe when FiM ends and we get one years later in show 

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,933]

I really don't see a point to anything more than a short mini series at most. If they made a series about them trying to get their cutie marks, the gimmick would get tiresome pretty quickly. With the normal show we have balance to go with it. Having a whole series dedicated to it may not work anywhere near as well, in my opinion at least.

[Yoshi89 5,293]

In the early stages, a companion series could have worked but at this point I can't see anything more than a mini-series. "Call of the Cutie" was intended to be a pilot for this sort of thing. It's too bad that didn't come to pass.

[MAIKUN 262]

Yeah, I think a companion/spin-off would work, just like the upcoming Fear of the Walking Dead series as well as Heroes Reborn or DC's Legends of Tomorrow. So yeah, it would work though.

[GuyNamedEarl 1,332]

That's not really something that would need it's own show. Maybe a two-part season finale

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

You know...there was something that popped up for April Fools...

[MAIKUN 262]

If I were a showrunner for the CMC spinoff, I would make the CMC being blank flanks forever officially canon...I would follow Lauren Faust's footsteps by now.
