silvadel 1,394 March 25, 2014 Share March 25, 2014 You know, they could always end this season with a cliffhanger. That box need not open in the last episode.... Silvadel, the Pegasus of Insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribbonfree 2,384 March 25, 2014 Share March 25, 2014 Doubt the writers would pull that one out. Patience isn't the virtue it used to be in recent generations, the young kids watching the show might not be so impressed with a cliffhanger. I think the way the writers set this one up, each season from now on has a clear arc path that's resolved in the finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megas 28,239 March 25, 2014 Share March 25, 2014 Considering how impatient the fandom gets, a cliffhanger finale would be a pretty bad idea, especially if it was like King of the Hill's(one where the Megalo Mart explodes with Hank in it or where Peggy's parachutes don't work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReverseFaller 2,484 March 25, 2014 Share March 25, 2014 There could be a cliffhanger. Something could go wrong at the Equestrian games. Maybe we won't even see the games this season. Maybe we'll have to wait until season 5 for Rainbow Power. I highly doubt that though, as McDonalds is giving away Rainbow Power toys in their happy meals, and if you go to a store that sells MLP merch, there's been an awful lot of Rainbow Power stuff lately.

Jangocoolguy 433 March 25, 2014 Share March 25, 2014 (edited) As cool as that might be, not sure how I'd feel about it. After years of that mess on Lost and Smallville, not sure if I'm really up to it here. I'd rather come back next season because I want to, not because I'm being forced...

Chuckles4lyfe 442 March 26, 2014 Share March 26, 2014 While ending the season on a cliffhanger does seem like an interesting idea on paper, I don't think it would really work for this type of show. We've been spending all season collecting the character specific keys and leaving the box unopened would just seem lazy imo. #Squadgoals "But that day...The day I discovered racing...I proved that the legends were true.

Malinter 3,065 March 26, 2014 Share March 26, 2014 it would lead to the creation of the "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" Pony.

Foxx 258 March 26, 2014 Share March 26, 2014 Sorry but I cannot handle suspense, and if they end up making it a cliffhanger, there's going to be a television floating around in the middle of a river.

Rainboom Dash 1,057 March 26, 2014 Share March 26, 2014 Yeah, I don't think MLP FiM is really the type of show that would end a season on a cliffhanger. It works for dramas (Doctor Who and Sherlock) but probably wouldn't work here. We've spent a whole season building up the box and keys, wouldn't be fair to wait until September/November to see what's inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
applejock 359 March 26, 2014 Share March 26, 2014 No, It will end with THE BEST cliffhanger!! The Box will open in the final episode of S4, and the last shot will be from the open boxs perspective, looking up at Princess Twilight, with her starring into the glowing...whatever, that is inside and her saying with a super shocked, wide eyed expression "Oh dear Celestia...."! This will be two fold, one we get one of the best reasons to be hyped for s5 opener, and two you get a throw back to when Twi used to write to her former teacher (God! Do I miss that for some reason, it just felt so natural after a while). This is my head canon for what will happen, and man it would rock! ---> Here be Fabulous Mare! <--- There be Brony! ***Fear the Hater, for they are out to taint your Perfection. Buck the Troll, for he would seek to stop the Fabulous flavor. For you are Brony, coated in Pearl, maned in fine Mulberry, eyes of the sky, and flanks of Diamonds. Your life is for the Lady, all hail the Queen, for Rarity, your life, for her.*** -Applejock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwilightDreamer 69 March 28, 2014 Share March 28, 2014 That would be best if it could be built on a stronger story in the show but with how impatient and restless we usually get when it comes to new episodes, that's nothing more than a recipe for disaster. It could work and lead to a more dramatic story but not for something like this when the writers don't have that mindset at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jangocoolguy 433 March 28, 2014 Share March 28, 2014 And heck, we all KNOW what's in the box anyway! (way to keep a secret, Hasbro!) "It's like I found a piece of myself I didn't even know was missing!" How do you think WE feel?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,692 March 28, 2014 Share March 28, 2014 Considering how most members of the fandom are impatient when it comes to waiting, we wouldn't want a sudden cliffhanger to keep us on our toes waiting for the finale to come. It would be a shame, if after all of the waiting that we've endured to have Hasbro end it on a cliffhanger. 1 Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singe 2,111 March 28, 2014 Share March 28, 2014 A cliff hanger could be the sudden introduction of a new character and leave it at that. A male Pegasus lands in front of the Mane 6. He calls out to Rainbow Dash, "You were just as amazing as you were back in Cloudsdale." Rainbow Dash responds, "So were you in that other competition." Twilight Sparkle asks, "Are you going to introduce us to your friend?" Rainbow Dash delays the answer, "Well he's kinda more than just a friend..." Male Pegasus cuts in with, "I'm her boyfriend." The others loudly gasp as the show ends on that note. Then next season starts where Rainbow Dash and the male Pegasus were just pranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
