Nah 3,182 March 17, 2012 Share March 17, 2012 I have pondered this question for months, how would you react if a character died in the show? Doesn't matter who, if its off-screen or on-screen, background character, mane 6, Celestia, Luna, etc. Here are my reactions to different characters if they died: Twilight- oh my, she's dead. RainbowDash - Meh, saw it coming, she dies all the time in fanfics Rarity- Meh Applejack - Ah, I liked her, why! Pinkie Pie - Noooooooooo! Fluttershy - Gasp! Why! Tell me please! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrFrog 927 March 17, 2012 Share March 17, 2012 (edited) I'd be pissed, you just don't develop a character for months just to kill them off later, that's just lazy story telling.

Yellow Diamond 7,569 March 17, 2012 Share March 17, 2012 It would depend on the context, but I would be pretty stunned if a canon character who had appeared in multiple episodes suddenly died. How could you justify it within the context of the show? Killing off any one of the Mane Six would almost be a guaranteed disaster since, all things considered, it would be rather sudden.

NeverNeverland 1,940 March 17, 2012 Share March 17, 2012 I'd be kinda sad. Depending on the death, I'd also vary from really angry to amused as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest March 17, 2012 Share March 17, 2012 Twilight: Maybe magic will bring her back...? Rainbow Dash: *sobs* Rarity: why did they let this happen?! Pinkie Pie: Who's idea was this?!

Sunny Fox 5,950 March 17, 2012 Share March 17, 2012 I highly doubt that it would ever happen on this show. It is primary aimed at little girls, after all, as often as us bronies tend to forget it. Death is too touchy a subject to explore properly. I'm surprised they even got away with the two-second funeral scene in "Hearts and Hooves Day". And people, why are none of you thinking about what would happen if Spike died? Shame on you! 1 Happy minion of The Fabulous One!

Lightning Blaze 20 March 17, 2012 Share March 17, 2012 My Reaction, http://nooooooooooooooo.com/ then I'd go have a cry, after that either accept that life, fate, the universe is cruel and have another cry or reject that heresy and declare a Trial of Annihilation/ Exterminatus. In all honesty though, if any of the main or background characters died I'd feel sad probably cry (I'm a big softie really, I still tear up at the end of Saving Private Ryan) but only if it was done well. If it was done poorly I would be rather annoyed(Typical British understatement) 1 "In this wild and woolly universe, there are three things you can count on: your brains, your bros and your bike!"

I used to be a stranger 7,993 March 17, 2012 Share March 17, 2012 If they'd kill off one, they'd off a bunch so they could come up with a new mane cast, to sell their toys. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan-Dash (MP117) 26 March 17, 2012 Share March 17, 2012 Twilight: Saw it coming, she nearly hit the ground too hard in Ep. 1.

Key Gear 6,663 March 17, 2012 Share March 17, 2012 First, I would be shocked. Second, I would rage against the machine. Third, I would mobilize an army of concerned parents and get them to undo it. It worked for Optimus Prime back in the 1980s. (Given the audience, I really don't think that they would ever kill off any character. I bet a bunch of people would be unhappy if they did though.)

Ra1nbowCrasH 272 March 17, 2012 Share March 17, 2012 I would be very upset, but I would just hope that their death wouldn't we nearly as gruesome as Rainbow Dash's death in the video "Cupcakes." 1 https://www.fimfiction.net/bookshelf/709463/read-stories That's 5% of the last 4.5 years.

FinalGamer 192 March 17, 2012 Share March 17, 2012 (edited) I am actually dreading the inevitable "dealing with bereavement" episode where Granny Smith dies. NOT THAT THEY'RE DOING IT INB4 RUMORZ but just saying that's the most realistic scenario of "canon character death" we're going to get. I'm actually kind of almost hoping that'll happen because if they actually bring in a lesson about bereavement in the show, for Apple Bloom who as a filly has to come to terms with loss for the first time, well, imagine how heart-breaking and mature that's going to be for the show. Because, let's face it, EVERYONE, from adult to child, has to deal with bereavement, and it's difficult to help a younger through it when you yourself as an older family member are trying to handle it too. So...imagine this, for a hypothetical episode scenario. Granny Smith passes away, Apple Bloom is confused and grief-stricken, her sister and brother are also in grief that they can't help her, so she goes to try and find somepony to help her cope. It'd be a very mature episode in dealing with a very sensitive subject that EVERYONE has to go through, from little girls to their mothers. So...like I said, I have no idea if they ever WOULD, not that I would mind, but...well I'd be dreading it. As for the mane six, as impossible as it would be, I would be just as upset for any of them.

Ijah 4 March 17, 2012 Share March 17, 2012 I dont know actually, I can't see myself carrying on watching it with any of the main characters dying. ;~; I'd be most sad if Pinkie Pie died, where would all the randomness come from? ;~; 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eenohay 318 March 17, 2012 Share March 17, 2012 They are not gonna kill any of the Mane 6 guys... not even as a season finale, and also probably no character at all... although Granny Smith is quite old... And I still like to believe that Applejack's parents are dead. But I could somehow picture Celestia or Luna dieing or dissapearing, like sacrificing themselves in order to save Equestria (Leaving Twilight in charge, of course) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
