Season 9 Discussion Thread [Warning: SPOILERS!!!!!]

Then that means Pinkie only gets one solo episode (Common Ground was RD not PP so RD has already had both of hers)

@Wiimeiser  
Just don’t take my word for it cause I could be wrong. Maybe another PinkieDash Wonderbolt episode?

@Wiimeiser  

 
Pinkie had both a Trivial Pursuit and The Last Laugh, unless you’re gonna make the argument that The Last Laugh was a Cheese Sandwich episode rather than Pinkie’s, which it kinda was, but then by that logic, Common Ground was a Quibble episode rather than RD’s, which it kinda was

@Background Pony #8A54  
Although I just remembered Pinkie was in A Trivial Pursuit. But still, AJ is the only one who hasn’t had two episodes in the limelight yet, so she’s almost a guarantee. Will probably be episode 23, as S1E4 was an AJ episode, so it would make a perfect bookend (This, incidentally, is part of the reason I strongly doubt we’re getting any more CMC episodes, as Call of the Cutie and The Last Crusade are both Episode 12). We shall see on the weekend, perhaps.

@Background Pony #8A54  
Lol Discord didnt get a single one and you want another Spike, Rartiy and Aj episode. Not a chance.

I can live with that  
I get the feeling they’re saving him for the finale

@Background Pony #8A54
 
Interesting episode theories, but may I add one change?
 
@Background Pony #8A54  

 
The shipper in me has no regrets :3

Season 8 says hi

I don’t know about you guys but I am sorely going to miss these ponies when they’re gone. Especially pinkie pie.
 
It’s hard to believe too that there’s technically only 3 weeks of FIM left to go.

@Applelight Limited  
well we still have g5 to look forward to

Wow. Dragon Dropped || really… dropped the ball, eh?
 
It used the S1 version of Rarity, the one that was discussed over and over as being a manipulative sociopath instead of the so-called embodiment of generosity. They even make it a point of showing that she’s empathy-stunted, but also that she’s seeing Spike as a tool to take for granted.
 
Thing is, Rarity changed, she owns multiple businesses and isn’t the same she used to be. They’ve closed off her character arc by… reverting her to an earlier state and solving that aspect instead of going with her recent developments.
 
I’m aware the past couple seasons haven’t exactly been the best when it came to character development, but… just ignoring them isn’t much better.
 
Bottom of the list this goes.||

@Shimmering Spectacle  
We do, and I’ll try to be positive about it. I just hope it’s not the end of the mane six…even though their life stories have been told.

@Prowl
 
Well, Equestria Girls did give as Rollercoaster of Friendship in the same year so maybe DHX felt that was enough Rarijack in both series (no need for over-saturation XD)

@Background Pony #8C52
 
A Daring-Do and another CMC episode
 
The end is coming quickly, and suddenly the void created by all these wasted opportunities for meaningful episodes is starting to feel crippling.

@Poison Trail  
We always knew it would end this way, friend.

@Shimmering Spectacle
 
They truly are wasting these last few episodes.

@silbasa  
well i don’t went to be spoiled for another 3 months

@Shimmering Spectacle  
I did NOT expect another CMC episode! And that looks like something outta a fanfic!

We could have had an episode where Spike learns where his egg came from, or an episode about Fluttercord.
 
Instead, we get another Daring Do episode, and an episode about the CMCs being magically turned into adults.
 
For fuck’s sake, man.

@Background Pony #90EA  
We still got 2 more episodes!

@Shimmering Spectacle  
Edit: Huh, so they’re real…that is…something, I guess. I’m mean, at least we’re getting official designs for the CMC as adults, but it’s still a disappointment, because there are some characters that really could have used these last episodes.

@The Equestrian Zodiac  
Same, I’m having trouble believing the validity of this, given there isn’t a press release of the first two, which this reads like.
 
I mean, if I’m being honest, these don’t sound bad or anything, one more adventure with Daring(hopefully better than Daring Done) and the CMC being grown ups is standard kids stuff, but they still sound a bit underwhelming. I’d figure if RD’s got one more episode it’d be about the WBs instead of Daring(or involve both in a perfect world, but hey, at least it’s a more fitting last episode than 246G), and again, CMC is really standard….so much so that it just sounds meh and predictable
 
EDIT: Fuck they’re real
