tripfly 264 April 17, 2014 Share April 17, 2014 Do you think they could pull one off? No sound at all, just music to help set the mood of the situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripfly 264 April 17, 2014 Author Share April 17, 2014 I'm not sure, 22 minutes without any talk or sound can be boring. I've seen other shows pull it off but even then it wasn't the full 22 minutes just most of it and I dunno, a life of kinda of episode would work with this motif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~SadisticFluttershy~ 779 April 17, 2014 Share April 17, 2014 that's a terrible idea.. sure they may be able to pull that off.. but that'll hurt the shows reputation. I agree with @Blobulle that it'll be insanely boring. I wouldn't watch even a minute of it. Thanks MiniKirby! It's soooooo awesome! "Enough Chitchat time is candy!".- Pinkie Pie.

Vertigo_95 572 April 17, 2014 Share April 17, 2014 I don't see why they wouldn't be able to. It makes me think of one Adventure Time episode where Finn and Jake decided to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe 217 April 17, 2014 Share April 17, 2014 With only music, pretty boring With sound effects and music but no talking, could be interesting. Maybe a episode where you have one storyteller to tell the story, and no voices for the characters? 1 I am a brony, and I am proud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazitaco 596 April 17, 2014 Share April 17, 2014 I think they could pull it off at least with sound effects or music. But I really see no purpose in it. Not like it would be the first show to do that. *Click the picture to join the Nega-Bronies!* "Every cloud has a silver lining" *except for the mushroom-shaped ones which have a lining of Caesium-127, Strontium-90 and other radioactive isotopes.

Frith is Magick 1,471 April 17, 2014 Share April 17, 2014 I don't think an episode of MLP could pull it off. It works in some situations to set the mood, and it may be possible to have a short scene without words, but I feel like it would be a challenge to the story and not really compatible with the show's atmosphere.

Dattebayo 2,850 April 17, 2014 Share April 17, 2014 (edited) I definitely would. If Ren and Stimpy and Kids Next Door could, FIM definitely can. Have some faith in the music department, fellas.

FlitterFlutter 1,589 April 18, 2014 Share April 18, 2014 I think it could be cool but only if they do it right. What i mean by that is if they get some great music in the background and just make it crazy like a parody of an old 1600's movie.

Teller 360 April 18, 2014 Share April 18, 2014 (edited) I could imagine Discord casting a spell that makes everypony mute. Then the Mane Six have to try to nonverbally communicate and figure out a solution. Hilarity would then ensue. Bonus points of Discord was the only one who could talk. "What was that? Could you try speaking up?" Edited April 18, 2014 by Teller 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denim&Venöm 19,920 April 19, 2014 Share April 19, 2014 I say go for it. Cram it full of music and sound effects and make it a little more action driven than usual. I don't see why i couldn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wind Chaser 4,768 April 19, 2014 Share April 19, 2014 It would be a great showing for the talents of the animators, composers, and SFX people to have that kind of episode where their work could be put on display without being completely or partly overshadowed by the writers and the VAs, but I doubt that it can be done in 22 minutes. It would be best left for a short no longer than 7 minutes. "Music to My Ears" was a great example of what this crew can do if given such a situation.

NavelColt 22,883 April 19, 2014 Share April 19, 2014 No sound? Eh, maybe. I think it'd be far cooler to have an episode with minimal to no talking, but focus on the sound effects and maybe some music. Shows like Samurai Jack did that all the time, and they pulled it off masterfully. It may be a bit more difficult to find an episode plot where it would not only work, but exceptionally blow people away, but DHX's staff have always been creative.

BastementSparkle 20,334 April 19, 2014 Share April 19, 2014 Samurai Jack did it, and that episode was fantastic. This show is different though, I'm not sure how well it would work for Mlp.

Nameless Knight 1,001 April 19, 2014 Share April 19, 2014 (edited) I'm not sure, 22 minutes without any talk or sound can be boring. Spongebob did it and it wasn't boring they could do a hub short that they can show during the episode Edited April 19, 2014 by Times S. Hay "I had a name... forgot it many, centuries ago.

ShadOBabe 19,016 April 19, 2014 Share April 19, 2014 Didm't you see how many people were Complaining that Sombra wasn't a massive ham galore? I don't think it was about him not talking. It was about him having no personality. Just "grr" and "evulz". If they did a completely silent episode, it would have the characters we already are familiar with. And silent expressions and body language can get across a lot of emotions and thoughts. Check out my artwork any time: http://shadobabe.deviantart.com/ "OMG; You are such a troll.

Something Floaty 1,334 April 19, 2014 Share April 19, 2014 They could make it a Spike episode, that way they could get the season's Spike episode out of the way without me having to hear his stupid voice. 1 Signature created by Champion RD92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainboom Dash 1,056 April 19, 2014 Share April 19, 2014 I think it would work if it was 5 or 10 minutes. Don't think it'd work for 22 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
