Yeah yeah, I know there’s a couple of threads like this already. I don’t care, moving on.
 
Basically, if you got to pitch five episode ideas for Season 4, what would they be? Here are mine:
 
Twilight and Chrysalis have to team up to take down a common foe, and hate each other every step of the way. Two characters who hate each other but still have to rely on one another is always entertaining as hell.
 
A day in the limelight episode for Big Macintosh. One was apparently planned, SO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
 
A “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” type episode featuring Derpy Hooves.
 
Seaponies. But the twist? THEY’RE EVIL!!!
 
Tirek gets a G4 makeover and menaces the ponies. He’s voiced by Clancy Brown, Tim Curry, or D.C. Douglas (RE5 Albert Wesker).
Background Pony #08C8
  1. A day in the life episode for Celestia where we find out her day-to-day schedules are much more bizarre than we think.
     
  2. An episode which has the ponies going on a dare.
     
  3. G4 makeover villains like Grogar and Squirk.
     
  4. Equestrian Games.
     
  5. Crossover with another of Hasbro’s franchises.

Aside from what we know we’re getting, let’s see now…
 
  1. Trixie returns to Ponyville to try and make amends but everypony rejects her utterly, forcing her to come to grips with the fact that not everyone is willing to forgive past misdeeds.
     
  2. One or all of the CMC get their cutie marks, and - more importantly - the aftermath of it.
     
  3. Celestia and Luna interact in a meaningful way (preferably outside of a flashback).
     
  4. We get to see Cadance run the Crystal Empire and have more of a personality.
     
  5. Twilight Sparkle fails at being a princess, and also fails at trying to not fail, proving that she really isn’t fit for a leadership role yet, thus proving Celestia wrong.

Twilight and Chrysalis have to team up to take down a common foe, and hate each other every step of the way. Two characters who hate each other but still have to rely on one another is always entertaining as hell.

Twi: And?  
Chrissy: Self-preservation narrowly won out over the pleasure of watching you burn.

  1. Twilight needs the help of her friends to complete something royally. When she is given all of the credit for it, she feels terrible but is nervous that she can’t say anything because she thinks people won’t respect her if she says she got help. Other Mane Six members get mad, Twilight finally confesses that she had lots of help, and realizes that she still needs her friends.
     
  2. CMC get their cutie marks and we see their Cutecenara.
     
  3. Cadance running the Crystal Empire, preferably an episode in which she is the main character.
     
  4. Pretty much the “uncomfortable situations” that Spike is planned to be in during S4.
     
  5. Gilda returns, tries to make friends via the Mane Six’s method and fails. She meets a pony who is as rude and brash as she is and becomes friends with her instead.

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

Build commie blocks!
Episode that follows Celestia for a day, or her just goofing off with the mane 6 and Luna gets to be in full control for a day.
We get to see Cadance run the Crystal Empire and have more of a personality.
 
Something like these, since both Celestia and Cadance desperately need some character development as this point.
 
Also:
 
An episode(s) that shows Twilight (and by extension, the audience) figuring out what an “alicorn” is, and what it means to be one.
 
An episode that increases the characterisation of the Crystal Empire, and its inhabitants, beyond the fact that they are crystal-ly and they like fairs.
 
An episode where Twilight loses her wings…only to get them back at the end because that would piss off the Twilicorn haters :P

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

Something that warrants showing Scootaloo’s parents and having them turn out to be earth ponies (read: the episode about Scoots being a cripple).
 
C&L episode showing Luna as damaged goods, shaken to her core by her experiences.
 
Crusaders getting their butt tattoos.
 
Twily rejecting being a Perfect Pretty Pony Princess because she wants her own life, not one someone else planned for her.

  • Oh you said “five”…

Duck - Like the movies Birds, but with just ducks. Ducks everywhere.
Thread Starter - Person Above You

  1. Dinosaurs in the Everfree.  
  2. CMC get their cutie marks, if this is the last season.  
  3. Cadance episode.  
  4. A new villain.  
  5. More Everfree monsters.
americananomaly

These are all very unlikely, but……
 
  1. Although it’s been stated before in this topic, Trixie going to ponyville, and trying to get others to forgive her. Hell, it’d be an awesome episode based on forgiveness.
     
  2. Rarity episodes. MORE. DAMN. RARITY EPISODES!!!!
     
  3. A Return of King Sombra, with him getting more lines aside from snarls and growls, and possibly more backstory/origins.
     
  4. Twilicorn gets stressed and frustrated with her new powers, and becomes coruppted/evil/powerhungry, and has to fight herself from within.
     
  5. I guess more gilda, but with having Trixie already getting the turn around story, it’d have to be something different and new. Something of which i can’t think of. :/

Five scoops of ice cream
Five episodes that actually follow a coherent plotline. Any coherent plotline. The show has enough filler to cover ten seasons, it’s time for an actual story.

Yeah I desperately want to see a less infantile and cliche plot.
 
Also, Fluttershy having a crush on one of mane six.
 
FFS. Neither is gonna happen.

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

Luna’s Day Off, just a silly episode for Luna :P
 
AlleyJack - Applejack goes back to Manehatten for a business arrangement for an apple outlet there, does not have a good time with the different lifestyle there(Much like Cutie Mark Chronicles), Babs Seed her only means of help that she’s reluctant to take.
 
I can’t think of three more. Sue me.
Background Pony #D0E1
  1. Warrior Celestia  
  2. Formula 1 reference episode with Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen cameos  
  3. Sombra’s return as an animated armor.  
  4. Warhammer 40000 pony equivalent.  
  5. An episode dedicated to Celestia.

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

The Fallen Brony
  1. A Rarity episode that doesn’t make me wanna question the moral grounds of the heroes.
     
  2. A Spike episode that doesn’t turn him into the writers’ punching bag.
     
  3. A slice of life episode featuring Cadance. Seriously, the closest thing we ever got to one is The Games Ponies Play.
     
  4. An episode that deconstructs the Easily Forgiven trope that happened to the last few antagonists. Like, they want to be good guys and most of the people will forgive them at their own pace, but they’ve caused so much fear into someone that it will take a long time for them to be forgiven.
     
  5. A grand epic finale. If the fourth season is the last one, I seriously hope that the finale doesn’t pull a Canterlot Wedding and sideline every main character so that a toy can be the star that popped right the **** out of nowhere of the show.

#3 and #5 I especially agree with. With #5 you’re right about storytelling in general: the last ‘x’ (in this case, 40) minutes is not the time to introduce whole new plot elements into a story. Hell, this is why we all were pissed off about the ending to ME3.

I’m really not sure whether or not they’ll let them off at four seasons. They’ve got nothing else, and lightning won’t strike twice. How long they can keep it going, who knows.
