If you created MLP:FIM...

[Cutelestia 189]

Now, you will make your very own version of MLP:FIM! You can change everything you want without limits, to make your version. Remember to rate the previous poster!

 

Cutelestia's MLP:FIM changes:

 

- The whole show has a bit more plausible setting. For example, there are no electrical devices anywhere. Steam power exists, however. No references to our world, like Groucho masks or obviously human things, like ''Casanova'', unless they are parodied, like ''Clopanova''. Why? Small children don't know who G.Marx or Casanova was, and older fans will wonder how ponies know about them. That's why we have TCBs

- Like above, but with behavior. Adult ponies behave more realisticly. I don't mean all serious, just so that older fans will not call their behavior ridiculous.

- No Spike. In my opinion, he is a useless character with awful personality and voice. Twilight should have her owl as a pet.

- CMC still exist but there is a limit of 1 episode for each season.

- Stable personality, that is, Mane Six won't have episodes where one character has absurdly different personality.

- Rules of magic are explained and consistent.

- No Twilicorn. While it didn't ruin the show, it changed it too much. I prefer wingless Twilight who is still student of Celestia.

- Twilight is not the strongest student of Celestia, there are about 20 ponies as strong as her, but only she has a special connection with magic. Why? To not make her OP.

- Cadance exists in first episode, but is just mentioned. She sometimes appears in Season 1.

- Derpy is something more than a background character, speaking and appearing more often.

- Celestia is even kinder, to the point of being incapable of hatred and all forgiving. Why? She had 1000 years to develop her personality. She is still capable of defending herself, but prefers pacifist approach. Luna is unchanged, however.

- Because of above, first episode with Discord has him reformed, Chrysalis and Sombra are also reformed.

- More stallions.

- The whole show is now made for teens. Toys are more realistic and so are plushies.

 

Here's an episode from my version:

 

''Secret of My Excess''

 

''Twilight eats more and more. But is she really hungry, or maybe she has some problems she wants hide from herself? Can her friends help her?''

 

What do you think?

[Adachi 772]

Yes, yes, oh god yes to most of this! Although not so crazy on the whole removing Spike or limiting CMC thing.

[Cutelestia 189]

Well, I would do this so that there would be more Mane Six episodes. As for Spike...I just can't stand him. In my opinion, sidekicks are nearly always a bad idea, though there have been some good ones. I mean, Twilight is like 16 years old, while Spike is 6-7. Annoying.

[Metemponychosis 1,262]

Where do I sign?

 

However... I don't see this problem with the adult ponies behavior. Explain?

Instead of removing Spike, I'd make him useful. And give him wings.... Because... I like dragons with wings.

 

What do you make of alicorns? 

 

EDIT: thinking of it, Celestia may already be the way you say.

Adult ponies, well, mainly Granny Smith and her ''military'' speech was very unrealistic. I don't demand ultra realism, I just want my verison not to be silly. As for Spike, well, not in my version. But if he was, like CMC, some dragon living in Ponyville show once in a season, that would be fine. As for Celestia...I don't know if she's already like that. She can still get angry.

I see. And I agree. They did that to Granny Smith for comedic effect and failed in my opinion because it was... I don't know... Out of place? I think you nailed it: silly. Yeah. I could go for that change too.

 

You mean changing Spike so that he gravitates around the CMC instead of the Mane Six? Like their friend and not like Twilight's whatever-he-is? I can like that too.

 

Celestia can get angry, but she didn't fight back against Nightmare Moon, even when it would be justifiable by your own rules. I don't think I ever seen her being unwarrantedly aggressive. Honestly, if she can't get angry, then she'd be handicapped. Without the capacity for feeling anger, how would she be capable to react to situations that warrant anger, like some big injustice, and then act accordingly? I don't mean acting out of anger, but being motivated by anger.

 

And you didn't answer. You don't want twilicorn, but how did Cadance become an alicorn then? And also Luna and Celestia, in your version? Where they born alicorns? Or is it just Twilight you don't want to be alicornfied?

Cadance is another story. I think that something like Twilicorn should be reserved for series finale. Twilight is main character and she shouldn't change too much. C and L were born Alicorns.

[DiscordAnarchy 770]

• Add a darker tone to certain episodes - bring back the darkness that populated cartoons of the 80s and 90s. I am not talking about blood or gore or murder, but serious themes that we saw in shows like Aladdin, TaleSpin, Darkwing Duck, Gargoyals.
• Bring an long underlying threat of a serious villain that is not some silly troll (I LOVE YOU DISCORD) or a singing succubus. I want to see Grogar and I want it to be a 4 part episode with scary (still a PG rating, but just dark enough to make kids intrigued without giving nightmares) plot moments.

 

• I see no issue with having characters grow closer to others. I.E. having a relationship. One of my favorite cartoon relationships of all time was Baloo w Becky Cunningham. It was never lovey-dovey and it was a slow evolution from hating each other to tolerating, to protective, to eventually loving but never to the point of them actually getting married or anything like that.
• I would prefer that the characters explore outside of ponyville more often. See the rest of the world.

[Rarity Paige Belle 1,854]

This will never happen but I want to see humans in the show. Make them enemies of each other. Also I want to see the world outside of Equestria. See if there are any other pony kingdoms.

[DiscordAnarchy 770]

The original had humans. If it were set up properly; this could be a reality in your version.

[Darker 1,352]

-Be a remake of G1. With the original characters, but with G4's personalities. With the exception of Pinkie and Rainbow.

 

-Have the same villains as G1, with a few exceptions on adding G4 villains but much darker and less goofier. Also, give them more character and background stories.

 

-The morals can be added in the background as subtle, they don't need to be said in front of the kid's faces. Also, much more mature morals.

 

-Less songs. That always annoyed me in every generation. 

 

-Don't have humans. That was the worst part about G1.

 

-Use G3 animation. Hand-drawn and flash combined.

[Megas 27,920]

If I was in charge, I'd give Celestia episodes.

 

Oh and the Power Ponies would appear more often

[Mephala 2,634]

 

• Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash would not be a part of the Mane Six (hurrah!!!)

 

instead, Mayor Mare would be Loyalty (to money), Granny Smith would be Laughter, and Steven Magnet would be Kindness

 

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon would actually be relevant other than "just mean" with no explanation

 

no wedding (or at least one that wasn't rushed as hell)

 

better explanation and leadup to Twilicorn (I like the idea, not the process, though I never saw it LMAO)

 

more exploitation for profitssszzz

 

Celestia would not be s*it and actually know how to rule a kingdom LMAO

 

[Buck Testa 5,505]

My version of Fim?

well you asked for it.

 

1) Division among the ponies: Much like back in heartswarming eve Pegesi, Earth Ponies, and Unicorns would be segregated and have animosity towards one another. The mane six that would form a rag tag group that are not welcome/ do not want to go back to their old homes for one reason or another.

 

 

Mane six roles:

Rarity: The noble PirateThe generous thief, this Unicorn mare puts on the perfect parody of nobiliy while performing heists and robberies for the sake of the oppressed. Her over the top satirical portrayal of the ruling class and the good her and her group have done for the sake of the ponies has made her a legend. It also put a hefty bounty on her head that has made her have to go on the run.

 

Fluttershy: The druid, Formally of the military centric Pegesi she was abused in every way you can imagine. It wasnt until she took a chance and left the aweful cloud empire that she found her true calling in the dense jungle below. A tribe of Zebra led by Shamaness Zecora took the bruised and battered filly in. This was not met without reservation as Pegesi had a reputation for hunting earth bound Equus for sport. They found her to be in tune with nature in ways only earth ponies and Zebra were known for so the choice was made to raise her as Zecora's apprentice. Fluttershy took to the lessons so well that her command over animals and the arts of the druid were unrivaled, only tempered by her emotionally scarred personality. When her old friend from childhood shows up to raid the Zebra tribe she finds herself using her trained abilities to fight the Pegesi. However in the fight her sole advocate Zecora met her end and the greif ridden tribe forces fluttershy out as well.

 

Rainbow dash: Pegesi Warrior Member of the wonderbolts she sees the Pegesi as the good and the other races as the bad. Its how many Pegesi were raised and she was not one to blow off tradition. Though full of energy she was serious about moving up the ranks. Her world view was challenged during a raid she had planned to make herself look good with her superior. An old friend she thought dead came up against them weilding Earth pony magic and using large powerful beasts to attack her party. Her ambitious group fell and she was wounded. Shamed and temporarily earthbound she did not know what to do.

 

 

Twilight Sparkle: Princess/ Magic apprentice Being inteligent and good at arcane unicorn magic did not help her standing in the noble community of Unicorns. Her studies led her to belive a great evil was going to befall the land and her Mentor Starswirll agreed. He told her that in order to be sure though she would have to go amung the Earth ponies, whom the powers of divination were the strongest.

 

Pinkamena Dianne Pie: Hyper Clairvoyant hyper half crazed earth pony with a heart of gold it is no question to the ponies that know her that she has an uncanny grasp of what the future holds. Her abilities are strange and her predictions stranger. When the princess of Unicorns showed up at her door she was already ready for her. According to her vision, only if Two Pegesi, Two Unicorns, and two Earth Ponies band together is there any hope for the crisis to be averted. Probably the most disconcerting thing about her is that Pinkie knows what you are going to say, your name, and your past before you even meet her, almost like she read the story already and just wanted to get to the good parts.

 

 

Apple Jack: The strongest there is A mare known for her ridiculous strength and honest work ethic, famine had begun on her orchard and after she tried everything she went to her odd ball fortune telling cousin for advice. While she thought her powers were a load of hay and her personality grating, she could not deny Pinkies results. Her Cousin told her to stay cause an unexpected visitor was coming. She decides to go with Pinkie and twilight when she was told the answer to her problem lay in their journey. Few, even among Giant monsters can rival this honest ponies strength and endurance.

 

And so the six would eventually join and face the evil.

[Fawkes The Phoenix 737]

I'd like this in my own MLP:

 

- Two-parters wouldn't have those Deus Ex machina resolutions

- A whole episode about Zecora, and more episodes about Celestia.

- Spike would be useful in more episodes that are not about him being useful (like in "Lesson Zero" or "The Crystal Empire")

- Diamond Tiara would be a better character, not a generic bully (ok, she's not just a bully, she's fucking evil, but still generic)

- More dark magic

- I don't mind about love, one of the mane 6 would get a boyfriend (a nice boyfriend, not Brad)

- More episodes about Shining Armor.

- The final episode of the series would be about the mane 6 growing up and not being allowed to pass much time together anymore, so they would have to keep their friendship through the difficulties (specially Twilight, who will see her friends die when they get old)

[~ Dr. Ocsid ~ 690]

... it would be about Discord. Simple.

[Mephala 2,634]

- Diamond Tiara would be a better character, not a generic bully (ok, she's not just a bully, she's fucking evil, but still generic)

She's not that bad, Babs was far worse with her ideas than Diamond Tiara ever was (she, for example, didn't wreck all the CMC's hard work, and I doubt she would have).

I do want more info on DT and SIlver Spoon, they're two of my favourite characters, because despite the fact that everyone claims this show busts "generic roles" there are still a ton of them (DT and SS are mean solely because they need mean characters to make the CMC look like saints, Zecora only shows up when they need her help for some deus-ex thing and SOMEHOW has the PERFECT thing, character personalities will do a 180 for a single episode, etc.)

[SnipSnap 432]

-Making show-accurate plushies

-Making MLP look like crap

[Ace O. Jade 122]

Just for starters:

 

Pinkie Pie would come from a family of pony necromancers.

 

Spike would have died long ago.

 

Scootaloo would have died and gotten brought back to life. (I love you Scoots, don't worry, you get brought back to life and then get to fly.)

 

Daisy would be hosting short in-between-the-episodes talk shows where she answers questions about the show.

 

The two sisters would have a brother with a surprisingly Illidan Stormrage-esque backstory.

[Metemponychosis 1,262]

 

 

Pinkie Pie would come from a family of pony necromancers.

 

 

Have you been reading "My Little Alicorn"?

 

[PrymeStriker 408]

My version of this show would be really sick. My stories are generally mature and are not afraid to get dark and brutal. Also, there's not always a happy ending and everything comes at a cost. 

[Plonkett 345]

If I created FiM, it would have the same formula as the actual show, like the main series being comedy and slice of life with adventure elements in the mix, and the season premieres and finales being more adventure oriented, but would appeal more to an older audience than little girls

 

For season 3, Sombra would have more screen time, it would have 26 episodes, Discord wouldn't have a reformation episode, and would have no Twilicorn until much later in the show. There would also be no Equestria Girls. Another notable change is Cadence would just be a unicorn. There would be more to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon than just being bullies.

 

On top of everything else, after and before each season, there would be a full length movie every year, with a runtime of 90-120 minutes, and with a theatrical release. Each movie would go beyond what the season premieres and finales have done, be darker, and would each have its own villain. Ever read comics like The Night the Magic Died and The Dark Crown (or simply MLP Project)? Well, the movies would be just like those. The animation would be more elaborate animation (like COTN) with accompanying CG effects.

 

Another thing it would have is some made for TV specials, like side-stories akin to Snowdrop as well as a holiday special. There could also be a special or two that are random adventures for the mane 6, not as full scale as the movies, but can have room for more stuff to happen than the premieres/finales.

 

We could see more parts of Equestria as well as places outside of it. We'd also see more different races and creatures. We'd still see Tirek, as well as other G1 villains reintroduced, like Grogar, Scorpan, Smooze, Lavan, and Arabus. Raptorians would also return, but would be antagonists in the series.

 

I could also make spinoff shows for characters like Derpy, Vinyl and Octavia, and Lyra and Bon Bon, as well as a show about the Power Ponies. I'd also make a G4.5 show about these characters. http://kilala97.deviantart.com/art/Next-Gen-414362604
