PonyFunk 155 May 22, 2014 Share May 22, 2014 In the past, certain TV shows have ended with very disappointing "slap-in-the-face" series finales that have angered fans and critics alike. What should the MLP writers do to stay away from a bad ending to the series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hastur 505 May 22, 2014 Share May 22, 2014 All of the mane 6((excluding Twilight)) die...oh wait, that might be fairly interesting... The rest o the 6 become alicorns, Leaving off with an unfinished story, etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostfacekiller39 23,879 May 22, 2014 Share May 22, 2014 I'll just go ahead and put the obligatory "Every mane 6 becomes an alicorn" I wouldn't mind, personally, but most of the fandom would, so I'll just go ahead and put that out there 3 He who is Positively Obsessed With All Things Rarity!!!

boiteporte 591 May 22, 2014 Share May 22, 2014 In that kind of show, there will be no "real" ending. Unless of course, they all die and Equestria blows up. Well, not gonna happen. Each season has a loose story arc. However, since episodes are not really connected together, you can't really have an ending. Except by finishing the story arc, I don't really know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hovershy 3,816 May 22, 2014 Share May 22, 2014 The 2nd Canterlot Wedding Twilight Sparkle marries Flash Sentry The fanbase would die. Long, self-induced, painful deaths by fire. That is without a doubt, the worst possible thing. I can't imagine anything more terrible than that.

Hive King 2,001 May 22, 2014 Share May 22, 2014 I like Flash Sentry Anyway, probably with Trixie and Luna teaming up to rule Equestria since all the others are evil, brainwashed fools! 3 "Aren’t we the same?

Umbral Noir 1,556 May 22, 2014 Share May 22, 2014 @ Me too! So much hate on Flash... I think the worst way would be for an abrupt, rushed ending, which seems very out of place and under-developed. If we got a finale like the end of season 4, then that would be a truly awesome way to finish Gen 4! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henny Penny Benny 936 May 22, 2014 Share May 22, 2014 (edited) The real life zombie apocalypse starts the day before part two of the finale is supposed to air, so everyone dies never knowing what was going to happen. It turns out the entire series was a dream and Twilight wakes up back in G1. M. Night Shyamalan ghost writes the finale. Humans show up and discover that pony meat is ever better than bacon.

Oblivion 20,282 May 22, 2014 Share May 22, 2014 I think that the worst thing they could to would be to drag it out to long, for instance, after 6 seaons the decide to make another 2, then they just completly run out of good ideas and everthing starts to become bland and boaring. And in those other 2 season leading up to 8 seasons, the rest of the mane 6 become alicorns, princess Celestita retires and leaves everything up to Twilight and friends, or worse yet each of the 5 become alicorns and become princess in place of Luna and Celestia and even Cadence. Just my bit of wild speculations, but I know if any of it actually happened it would drive the fan bas bat shit insane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,884 May 22, 2014 Share May 22, 2014 Ok, the Alicorn, marriage, and death ideas were already taken soooo In the last scene a 6 year old human girl with red hair wakes up from a dream and flips on the side table lamp, which illuminates the room. It is filled with carefully set up Pony toys all around her room. She slumps down into her bed and you hear a disappointed sigh escape her lips. Her mother appears concerned about the fact the light is on. She is voiced by Nicole Oliver who sits on the bed to comfort her daughter Lauren. Lauren is upset because the elusiveness of an amazing dream. Queue Mom giving some sage advice about holding on to all her dreams ... you never know when they will take flight or some such moral. Lights out ... Popular catch phrase said ... And credit That ... would ... no ... Just NO 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaburoDaimando 1,196 May 23, 2014 Share May 23, 2014 A Time Paradox occurs, undoing not just the events of every season, but even the events that lead to the Mane 6 to get their Cutie Marks, and more(Ex: Rainbow Dash not leaving for Ponyville on her birthday). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastel 7,630 May 23, 2014 Share May 23, 2014 Mane 6 becoming alicorns, so awful. (I wouldn't be too annoyed if everything was just a dream actually. It's not the best end of course, but watching the show again while knowing it's a dream can be fun...) Twilight and Flash Sentry's wedding would be very bad too.

Red Cedar 1,408 May 23, 2014 Share May 23, 2014 Worst possible outcomes: 1. Anyone gets married. (Not just Twilight, but any of the Mane 6.) 2. Anyone dies. (Fortunately quite unlikely.) 3. Anyone becomes yet another alicorn or Princess. 4. Twilight takes over in charge of all Equestria. 5. It was all a dream. 6. Events conspire to take the Mane 6 elsewhere all over Equestria, leaving Twilight, once again, alone.

boiteporte 591 May 23, 2014 Share May 23, 2014 What I really wish they do is something like what they did in Stargate or even Star Trek Deep Space Nine. That is, do an open ending (well, they don't have much choice anyway) while making the audience know that it's the end. People who watched Stargate or Star Trek Deep Space Nine will know what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull a Sisko with Celestia and have her move on another plane of existence to maybe return, an epic battle won but at great cost (but with MLP it would be buildings and not an entire world devastated) and the leader of the changeling antagonists freely submits to punishment to save her people who are suffering. Yep I can actually see that as a template DS9 ruled btw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastion 414 May 23, 2014 Share May 23, 2014 1. Ending leads off to a spin off series (I don't mind a spin off series but give us closure on the story ark you gave us to start with) 2. Cliffhanger ending 3. its all a dream 4. a very powerful villain takes over Equestria, the end. 5. Most loved characters die 6. no real ending, series gets cut halfway through. 7. time flash forwards into the future showing them later in life 8. giant Hasbro robot comes in and removes all ponies 9. time machine, goes back to kill off a major character because they turn out to destroy equestria later. 10. an ending without a samurai appearance. 1 A samurai pyromancer? That's a bit overpowered.
