[[WMG: If this turns out to be the GrandFinale, the Mane Six will all become god-level alicorns like Celestia and Luna.]]
Then we'll get a beautiful TearJerker scene where Celestia and Luna [[AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascend]] and literally become the sun and the moon, so that Twilight and her friends can take their place as rulers of Equestria.
* Thanks, M.A. Larson!

[[WMG: It will be DarkerAndEdgier than anything seen in the series beforehand.]]

[[WMG: We'll get a twist ending similar to ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie''.]]
Everything fades to live-action, and all of the characters become plastic toys. We see a red-haired girl named [[Creator/LaurenFaust Lauren]] playing with them. Her parents are surprised at how creative her ideas are, and suggest pitching her idea to Hasbro when she grows up. There would also be some RealitySubtext here, given that Lauren Faust based the character's personalities off of the ones she gave her toys.
* That would be really cool. Especially if the little girl's mother was played by Lauren Faust herself, and the father was played by Creator/CraigMcCracken.

Or maybe the villain will be Erebus, that would fit pretty well in the whole darkness theme some of the villains share.

[[WMG: The movie will be a GrandFinale to Friendship is Magic, but will set the stage for a new series taking place in the same universe.]]
The franchise is MerchandiseDriven, so Hasbro might want to introduce a new cast of characters. At the same time, this generation has been very popular with both intended and unintended audiences. The movie will end the current series, but will introduce characters for a new series. The Mane 6 will make appearances in the new series.
* So... ''My Little Pony: The Next Generation''?
** "Mister Hoof, arm photon care-packages. Security teams stand-by to love and tolerate."

[[WMG: The Cutie Mark Crusaders will get their cutie marks.]]
And, going on the above WMG, they'll be implied to be the next heroines of Equestria.
* Jossed. [[spoiler:They already got them in Season 5.]] That doesn't mean that they can't become the next heroines of Equestria, though.

[[WMG: Alternatively, the villain will be a realistic, dictator type with little to no magical powers.]]
Each villain in the series ends up being more menacing than the previous, and the most menacing villains are always the most realistic. Therefore, it would make sense for the final FIM villain to be the most realistic, and therefore the most menacing.
** So, Starlight Glimmer turned UpToEleven?

[[WMG: Possible ideas for the basic plot.]]
Suggestions are welcome.
* Everypony in Equestria has disappeared, save for the Mane Six and Spike. Now they have to find out what happened to them.
* Spike receives a [[MessageInABottle scroll]] saying his parents are alive, but being held by a Skullequus called Sludge in the [[{{Mordor}} Shadow Continent]] overlooking Tartarus. On advice from the Princesses, the Mane Six and CMC follow Spike.
* A BigBadDuumvirate is formed of some, if not all the previous villains from the show, led by some sort of EvilOverlord.
* All of the major cities and towns of Equestria (like Ponyville, Canterlot, etc.) are destroyed by a disaster, and now the ponies have to migrate to find a new region to settle. In the end, the Mane Six convince them to go back and rebuild their homes.
* Celestia and Luna go on vacation, and allow Twilight and her friends to temporarily take their place. Then a huge disaster occurs, and Twilight has to stop it herself, without help from Celestia. In the end, Celestia and Luna return and reveal that this was a SecretTestOfCharacter, to see if the Mane Six were capable of ruling in their place.
* The Mane Six, lead by Twilight, have to travel together to find a rumored artifact that will help them in overcoming some new threat, which has already taken over Canterlot. The threat reaches Ponyville before they can return, so the show's secondary, tertiary, and background characters take it upon themselves to defend the town.
* The Windigos from the Hearth's Warming Eve story unexpectedly return and the Mane six has to return to the old pony kingdom to find out where they really come from.

[[WMG: Each of the Mane Cast will get a basic character arc that they'll have to resolve.]]
Maybe they'll each be dealing with an ElephantInTheRoom that has been around for most of the series. Some possibilities include...
* Twilight will be nervous over the idea of possibly [[WhoWantsToLiveForever becoming immortal]]. At the end, it's left ambiguous over whether she'll become immortal or not, to avoid angering fans.
* Applejack will be trying to get over losing her parents long ago. Then she'll learn that her remaining family (including her friends) work just as well.
* Pinkie Pie, after annoying the others with her crazy antics for the umpteenth time, will be harshly called out (most likely by Rainbow Dash) and will run away in tears. Eventually, she will realize that, while it's okay to be fun-loving, there is a time for work and a time for play, so she'll return and both her and the others will apologize.
* Fluttershy throughout the series appears to feel more empathy for animals than her friends. Maybe it could have her resolving this?
** Maybe she could have a sort of FriendOrIdolDecision scene where she's torn between rescuing her friends or a small animal (like a bird, a mouse, or a butterfly). She ends up rescuing her friends, but ends up feeling sad about the animal. Thankfully, the animal gets rescued by another one of its kind.
* Spike (if we can include him) will be depressed over the events of [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E21DragonQuest "Dragon Quest"]], questioning the fact that he comes from an AlwaysChaoticEvil species. Then he'll meet a wise older dragon who debunks this idea.
** Bonus points if this older dragon is voiced by Creator/CharlieAdler, the voice of G1 Spike.
** Moreso if his name is [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Paarthurnax]].
*** Or [[{{TabletopGame/Shadowrun}} Dunkelzahn]]
* I haven't thought of ones for Rarity or Rainbow Dash, unfortunately.
** Mind if I make some suggestions?
** Rainbow Dash gets frustrated with the fact that her friends, especially Fluttershy, get in the way of quick and decisive action. In the film, this comes to a head as the plot is a RaceAgainstTheClock, so she continues without the rest of the Mane Six. She later gets into a jam and the others have to use their abilities to rescue her.
** As the conflict in the story continues to escalate, Rarity becomes despondent, believing that her fashion talents are simply frivolous and unimportant. With some encouragement from Spike, Rarity realizes that her ideas can inspire people, and makes a dress for Twilight that has an ErmineCapeEffect. Combined with a rousing speech, Twilight successfully rallies the citizens of Ponyville.

[[WMG: Princess Cadance will give birth.]]
Either she'll do it close to the beginning, and there'll be a subplot where Twilight deals with her new baby niece/nephew (like in ''WesternAnimation/TheRugratsMovie''), or she'll give birth at the end, and her pregnancy itself will play as a major subplot throughout the film.
* Jossed. Baby Flurry Heart is born early in season 6.

[[WMG: Possible guest stars.]]
Lots of movies based on cartoons (like ''WesternAnimation/TheRugratsMovie'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongebobSquarepantsMovie'') have had at least three celebrity guest stars in secondary roles, and this might not be an exception. Possibilities include...
* Jack Black. He HAS been confirmed to be a fan.
* An actor who was in G1
** Creator/CharlieAdler
** Cloris Leachman
** Tammy Grimes
** Paul Williams
** Creator/{{Danny DeVito}}
** Creator/SandyDuncan
*** Perhaps she would voice Rainbow Dash's mom, who would in fact be G1 Firefly.
* Another Star Trek actor
** Patrick Stewart
** Rene Auberjonois
** George Takei
** William Shatner
* So far, Creator/KristinChenoweth has been confirmed as a guest star.
* Creator/EmilyBlunt is also confirmed to appear.
* Syo Jinnai. As [[Series/TokumeiSentaiGoBusters Enter]]'s actor, he will portray a secondary antagonist.
* Pop singer Sia is confirmed to play a character with the name Songbird Serenade. Her cutie mark is a ring of rainbow hearts, very much like Coloratura's. With that in mind, plus her name and the fact that she's voiced by a famous singer tells us what her special talent is. It's baking, [[SarcasmMode of course!]] It appears she'll be a pegasus with a [[https://derpicdn.net/img/2016/7/22/1206837/large.png look much like that of her voice actor.]]

[[WMG: There will be a ShoutOut to the series finale of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'']]
* This would fit in with the above-mentioned WMG of Celestia and Luna ascending, and Twilight and her friends taking their place.

[[WMG: If the film is adventure-based, what previously unexplored places will the characters visit?]]
* Saddle Arabia
* Maretonia
* The unnamed area with the igloos (seen in the upper left-hand corner of [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/c/cb/Map_of_Equestria_April_2013.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130403195243 the Equestria Map]])
* Mustangia
* The Zebra Homeland

[[WMG: The film will make a CallBack / ContinuityNod to literally every single episode of the series.]]
That's right. Every one of them.

[[WMG: There will be a CreatorCameo from Creator/LaurenFaust as her OC]]
While she hasn't worked on the show since the second or third season, a cameo from her would be cool, perhaps as an overlord similar to how she and Hasbro treated in ''WebAnimation/{{EQUESTRIA GIRLS}}''.

[[WMG: The film will have a literal BookEnds.]]
The closing shot (right before the credits) will be a reverse of the opening shot of The Mare in the Moon, with the camera zooming out as the book closes.

[[WMG: The Mane Six will be {{Decoy Protagonist}}s.]]
The real protagonist(s) will be...
* Spike
* The Cutie Mark Crusaders
* Celestia and Luna
* A new pony
* [[Characters/MyLittlePonyTVSpecials Megan]]
* Doctor Whooves and Derpy
* Vinyl Scratch
* Octavia
* Trixie

[[WMG: Sunset Shimmer will make a cameo.]]
Maybe sending some sort of distress signal to the Mane Six, warning them of the BigBad.

[[WMG: The movie won't be the series finale, but it will bring about a major twist...]]
If any fellow Tropers have ideas, feel free to post your examples here.
* The "Celestia and Luna become their respective celestial body and the Mane 6 take over" WMG above, the show will then focus either on the politics or on a new set of protagonists
* The Beginning of a New MythArc that deals with malevolent forces that try to sever friendships
* The {{Seal|edGoodInACan}}ing or {{Ascen|dToAHigherPlaneOfExistence}}tion of the Mane 6, also leads into to a new set of protagonists
* The beginning of a new MythArc that starts of the next generation, making G4 the first generation to be a prequel and G5 the first generation to be in the previous' continuity may involve offspring of the Mane 6 or the CMC and of course, a TimeSkip
* The CMC get their cutie marks, and their role changes to helping other foals find their talents.
** [[spoiler:Jossed. They got their cutie marks already in Season 5]]
* The above-mentioned twist of the entire series being a young Lauren Faust playing with her toys.
* The villain might be Celestia and Luna's father, I heard a rumor that the villain's name is Cosmos.
** Alternatively, Cosmos would be Twilight Sparkle's [[LukeIAmYourFather true father]], or otherwise related. It would make for an interesting ActorAllusion, as Cosmo is also the name of [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents the fairy godfather of Timmy Turner]], another Creator/TaraStrong character.
* The movie may have a somewhat BittersweetEnding, in which the Mane cast all survive and save Equestria, but still end up parting ways.
* The BigBad will free all the evils trapped in Tartarus and convince them to join him in his quest for world domination.
* The movie will have a Evangelion-eque GainaxEnding that will set up a ''much'' DarkerAndEdgier tone in the following season.
[[WMG: The film will end with a remake/cover of "[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie There's Always Another Rainbow]]''.]]

[[WMG: The film will be a retelling of the pilot.]]
Considering that the pilot hasn't aged well yet showed a lot of potential, it will be made into a full-fledged movie.

[[WMG: The film will be a feature length remake of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTVSpecials Rescue at Midnight Castle]].]]

[[WMG: Twilight will lose her wings somehow.]]
She'll spend the movie trying to function as a regular unicorn again. By the end of the film, Celestia will give them back, along with making the other Mane Six alicorns as mentioned above.

[[WMG: Characters who [[http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/07/my-little-pony-lionsgate-kristin-chenoweth Kristin Chenoweth]] might voice.]]
Suggestions are welcome.
* The main villain, whoever that turns out to be.
* Celestia and Luna's mother, seen in a flashback.
* An Main/{{Expy}} of [[Theatre/{{Wicked}} Glinda]] who helps the Mane Cast.
* Scorpan's descendant who feels Tirek was in the right and tries to free him.
* A special guest at Ponyville's big party.

[[WMG: The villain will be called [[WesternAnimation/{{TransformersTheMovie}} Alicron]]]]
Just for fun.

[[WMG: Unlike the usual TV-Y rating of the show, the film will be rated PG or possibly even PG-13]]
* PG-13 seems highly doubtful. A PG, though, [[AvoidTheDreadedGRating isn't out of the question]].

[[WMG: The exact details of how Applejack's parents died will be brought up]]
While too dark a subject to be covered in the series, a theatrical feature film is a whole other matter.

[[WMG: If the movie have a Big Bad, It will be a Straw Nihilist, or at least, an implied G-Rated Straw Nihilist]]
And the Aesop will be "Friendship is more meaningful than you think, and you can still enjoying the life as long as you have friends". G-Rated of course, it's not like the creators wants make the movie too depressive nor too dark for the kids.

[[WMG: The movie will be the GrandFinale for the entire franchise, or at least this generation.]]
Because G4 has already been running for too long. The movie itself would resolve all the remaining loose plots in the cartoon, show, as the theory above proposed, Celestia and Luna ascending and Twilight becoming ruler of Equestria, while the rest of the Mane 6 could simply be shown as adults, with families and children.

[[WMG: ''My Little Pony'' will win the UsefulNotes/AcademyAwardForBestAnimatedFeature.]]
Because, well, what else is coming out that year? ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}} 3''? ''WesternAnimation/TheCroods 2''? Another ''[[WesternAnimation/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas Grinch]]'' movie? The only animated film of 2017 that could possibly compete is Creator/{{Pixar}}'s ''Coco'', and even with that, Pixar may or may not have recovered from their DorkAge by then.

[[WMG: Alternatively, the movie will at least get a nomination for UsefulNotes/AcademyAwardForBestOriginalSong.]]
Considering what Daniel Ingram is capable of, it'd be a crime if he wasn't nominated.

[[WMG: Creator/FrankWelker will voice a character.]]
He's worked with Hasbro many times before (most famously as [[{{Franchise/Transformers}} Megatron]]), plus he's managed to do some non-''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' stuff in recent years (like a brief appearance in ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder''), so it's not too far-fetched. Maybe he could voice either Celestia and Luna's father or Starswirl the Bearded.

[[WMG: The movie will deal with dimensional and/or time rifts.]]
Because Starlight Glimmer excessively meddled with the fabrics of space and time for her pettiness, it's bound to create one or more rifts in the ponies' dimension. The Big Bad, if there is any, will be a [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Bill Cipher]]-like deity taking advantage of these rifts to bring forth the apocalypse. He/She will essentially be Discord turned Up To Eleven in comparison to the Discord we know and love. Starlight Glimmer will then have to own up to her mistakes and fight the villain by herself if the Mane Six fail to defeat him/her. This also risks Starlight into losing the respect of her genuine friends and potential family if the villain calls her out for her past actions right in front of the townspeople or Equestria's higher-ups, considering that time travel is not a toy.

[[WMG: Humans will show up.]]
At least in a short gag. Actual humans, not the ''Equestria Girls'' kind.

[[WMG: One of the Mane Six will become pregnant and give birth.]]
Yeah, I know, really crazy, right? But we haven't gotten a pregnancy episode yet (they had a chance to do so with Cadance, but for some reason, they decided to skip to after the foal's birth), and this would be a great (and status quo-changing) opportunity to do so. The question is, which of the Mane Six would this plot be best-suited for?

[[WMG: Equestria will get destroyed]]
With the BigBad's very own [[Franchise/StarWars Death Star]].

[[WMG: A character gets KilledOffForReal]]
The most obvious choice is the world-threatening BigBad.

[[WMG: Megan will be one of the main protagonists.]]
And though this is wishful thinking, I'd hope that the main villain would be (in the tradition of more memorable MLP villains being expies) both human and an analogue of [[Videogame/Borderlands2 Handsome Jack]]...or [[Videogame/{{Battleborn}} Lothar Rendain]], on of the two, or maybe a human who's an analogue of Jack and a right hand man who's a pegasus and an expy of Rendain.

[[WMG: [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Euzeth Gozzo]] will be the BigBad.]]
And he will claim responsibility for every major threat to Equestria. Honestly, how many other baddies from other series was this guy behind?

[[WMG: There will be a [[WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012 Littlest Pet Shop]] short before the movie.]]

[[WMG: Each of the Mane Six will be forced to fight an evil counterpart of themselves.]]
[[WMG: The FinalBattle will be more epic than the entire [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Avengers movie]].]]
This movie will definitely go all out with the action scenes.

[[WMG: The Princesses will perform their own [[Film/ANewHope Death Star trench run]], blasting away TIE Fighters on the way to the reactor core.]]

[[WMG: The popular background ponies will be part of a BigDamnArmy, channeling their fandom-granted superpowers to slow down the BigBad's army.]]

[[WMG: The movie will deconstruct the entire series.]]

[[WMG: Twilight will perform a HeroicSacrifice in the final battle, but the magic of friendship will save her from dying.]]
She will [[Film/IndependenceDay fly into the]] [[BigBad Big Bad]]'s [[AttackItsWeakPoint mothership's core and empty all her magic into it at point-blank range]], destroying it from the inside out. As the now-exhausted Twilight falls to her apparent death, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy will catch her.

Alternatively, she will convert herself into energy to power up her friends and turn the tables. After the BigBad is destroyed, the power-up is reversed to bring Twilight back.

[[WMG: The movie will reuse the whole original theme tune (with new lyrics, of course).]]

[[WMG: There will be a DiscOneFinalBoss.]]
The apparent BigBad will be a normal pony who leads several evil Kaijin to Equestria. After being captured at the halfway point, it turns out she's good and that said Kaijin destroyed her whole civilization. The true BigBad created the Kaijin, captured the Princesses, and used a hologram projector to frame said DiscOneFinalBoss for both.

[[WMG: The FinalBattle will span the entirety of Equestria for 30 minutes.]]

[[WMG: The movie will involve a full scale invasion of both Equestria and the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls EQG universe]].]]
I discussed this with my friend Power_Play, who thought of this theory. How else would you explain the portal between the two worlds cracking at the end of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsLegendOfEverfree Legend of Everfree?]]

[[WMG: Rarity will battle [[http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/596171-rarity-fighting-a-giant-crab a]] [[http://imgur.com/gallery/QFMQc giant]] [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/rarity-fighting-a-giant-crab crab]]]]

[[WMG: This movie is actually a prequel covering the events directly before the first episode.]]
These are many of the same people behind the original ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', after all, and that movie was made as a prequel with the intent that it's not required viewing but is still significant to world-building. Then again, they might not want to do the same thing twice. In general though, I don't think ''anything'' in the movie will be required viewing, due to different accessibility.

[[WMG: The series will continue to go on as if the movie didn't happen, albeit perhaps with some minor changes.]]
This has been par for the course with western animated TV series that get movies. It's the case with ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' (twice), ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' (three times), ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''. The only one I can think of that actually ended with a movie over the past 20 years is ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}''. (I'm speaking strictly of movies with theatrical runs though, so stuff like ''Ed Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show'' and ''Wakko's Wish'' don't count.) This show is still quite obscure in the general public, as much of a splash it made when it first came out. As much as it broke out of the GirlShowGhetto, it's still no ''Series/BreakingBad'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'', or even ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' in terms of public awareness. A wide-release theatrical movie will give the series a lot of mainstream exposure, and [[MoneyDearBoy the new money]] it brings in means there's no chance the show will end there. At the same time, the movie audience is pretty different from the TV audience, where there are plenty of people who watch movies but don't watch TV and people who watch TV but don't watch movies. To keep things comprehensible, all of the aforementioned series just keep going as if the movies didn't exist. I don't see why this one would be different, unless they're banking that heavily on the existing viewers.

[[WMG:Derpy will be important to the storyline.]]

[[WMG:Applejack's presumed-deceased father will appear as a DarthVaderClone called Darth Apple.]]

[[WMG:Emily Blunt's character will be the BigBad]]
Blunt has described her character as a "nasty pony".

* This would fit in with the above-mentioned WMG of Celestia and Luna ascending, and Twilight and her friends taking their place.

[[WMG: If the film is adventure-based, what previously unexplored places will the characters visit?]]
* Saddle Arabia
* Maretonia
* The unnamed area with the igloos (seen in the upper left-hand corner of [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/c/cb/Map_of_Equestria_April_2013.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130403195243 the Equestria Map]])
* Mustangia
* The Zebra Homeland

[[WMG: The film will make a CallBack / ContinuityNod to literally every single episode of the series.]]
That's right. Every one of them.

[[WMG: There will be a CreatorCameo from Creator/LaurenFaust as her OC]]
While she hasn't worked on the show since the second or third season, a cameo from her would be cool, perhaps as an overlord similar to how she and Hasbro treated in ''WebAnimation/{{EQUESTRIA GIRLS}}''.

[[WMG: The film will have a literal BookEnds.]]
The closing shot (right before the credits) will be a reverse of the opening shot of The Mare in the Moon, with the camera zooming out as the book closes.

[[WMG: The Mane Six will be {{Decoy Protagonist}}s.]]
The real protagonist(s) will be...
* Spike
* The Cutie Mark Crusaders
* Celestia and Luna
* A new pony
* [[Characters/MyLittlePonyTVSpecials Megan]]
* Doctor Whooves and Derpy
* Vinyl Scratch
* Octavia
* Trixie

[[WMG: Sunset Shimmer will make a cameo.]]
Maybe sending some sort of distress signal to the Mane Six, warning them of the BigBad.

[[WMG: The movie won't be the series finale, but it will bring about a major twist...]]
If any fellow Tropers have ideas, feel free to post your examples here.
* The "Celestia and Luna become their respective celestial body and the Mane 6 take over" WMG above, the show will then focus either on the politics or on a new set of protagonists
* The Beginning of a New MythArc that deals with malevolent forces that try to sever friendships
* The {{Seal|edGoodInACan}}ing or {{Ascen|dToAHigherPlaneOfExistence}}tion of the Mane 6, also leads into to a new set of protagonists
* The beginning of a new MythArc that starts of the next generation, making G4 the first generation to be a prequel and G5 the first generation to be in the previous' continuity may involve offspring of the Mane 6 or the CMC and of course, a TimeSkip
* The CMC get their cutie marks, and their role changes to helping other foals find their talents.
** [[spoiler:Jossed. They got their cutie marks already in Season 5]]
* The above-mentioned twist of the entire series being a young Lauren Faust playing with her toys.
* The villain might be Celestia and Luna's father, I heard a rumor that the villain's name is Cosmos.
** Alternatively, Cosmos would be Twilight Sparkle's [[LukeIAmYourFather true father]], or otherwise related. It would make for an interesting ActorAllusion, as Cosmo is also the name of [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents the fairy godfather of Timmy Turner]], another Creator/TaraStrong character.
* The movie may have a somewhat BittersweetEnding, in which the Mane cast all survive and save Equestria, but still end up parting ways.
* The BigBad will free all the evils trapped in Tartarus and convince them to join him in his quest for world domination.
* The movie will have a Evangelion-eque GainaxEnding that will set up a ''much'' DarkerAndEdgier tone in the following season.
[[WMG: The film will end with a remake/cover of "[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie There's Always Another Rainbow]]''.]]

[[WMG: The film will be a retelling of the pilot.]]
Considering that the pilot hasn't aged well yet showed a lot of potential, it will be made into a full-fledged movie.

[[WMG: The film will be a feature length remake of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTVSpecials Rescue at Midnight Castle]].]]

[[WMG: Twilight will lose her wings somehow.]]
She'll spend the movie trying to function as a regular unicorn again. By the end of the film, Celestia will give them back, along with making the other Mane Six alicorns as mentioned above.

[[WMG: Characters who [[http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/07/my-little-pony-lionsgate-kristin-chenoweth Kristin Chenoweth]] might voice.]]
Suggestions are welcome.
* The main villain, whoever that turns out to be.
* Celestia and Luna's mother, seen in a flashback.
* An Main/{{Expy}} of [[Theatre/{{Wicked}} Glinda]] who helps the Mane Cast.
* Scorpan's descendant who feels Tirek was in the right and tries to free him.
* A special guest at Ponyville's big party.

[[WMG: The villain will be called [[WesternAnimation/{{TransformersTheMovie}} Alicron]]]]
Just for fun.

[[WMG: Unlike the usual TV-Y rating of the show, the film will be rated PG or possibly even PG-13]]
* PG-13 seems highly doubtful. A PG, though, [[AvoidTheDreadedGRating isn't out of the question]].

[[WMG: The exact details of how Applejack's parents died will be brought up]]
While too dark a subject to be covered in the series, a theatrical feature film is a whole other matter.

[[WMG: If the movie have a Big Bad, It will be a Straw Nihilist, or at least, an implied G-Rated Straw Nihilist]]
And the Aesop will be "Friendship is more meaningful than you think, and you can still enjoying the life as long as you have friends". G-Rated of course, it's not like the creators wants make the movie too depressive nor too dark for the kids.

[[WMG: The movie will be the GrandFinale for the entire franchise, or at least this generation.]]
Because G4 has already been running for too long. The movie itself would resolve all the remaining loose plots in the cartoon, show, as the theory above proposed, Celestia and Luna ascending and Twilight becoming ruler of Equestria, while the rest of the Mane 6 could simply be shown as adults, with families and children.

[[WMG: ''My Little Pony'' will win the UsefulNotes/AcademyAwardForBestAnimatedFeature.]]
Because, well, what else is coming out that year? ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}} 3''? ''WesternAnimation/TheCroods 2''? Another ''[[WesternAnimation/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas Grinch]]'' movie? The only animated film of 2017 that could possibly compete is Creator/{{Pixar}}'s ''Coco'', and even with that, Pixar may or may not have recovered from their DorkAge by then.

[[WMG: Alternatively, the movie will at least get a nomination for UsefulNotes/AcademyAwardForBestOriginalSong.]]
Considering what Daniel Ingram is capable of, it'd be a crime if he wasn't nominated.

[[WMG: Creator/FrankWelker will voice a character.]]
He's worked with Hasbro many times before (most famously as [[{{Franchise/Transformers}} Megatron]]), plus he's managed to do some non-''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' stuff in recent years (like a brief appearance in ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder''), so it's not too far-fetched. Maybe he could voice either Celestia and Luna's father or Starswirl the Bearded.

[[WMG: The movie will deal with dimensional and/or time rifts.]]
Because Starlight Glimmer excessively meddled with the fabrics of space and time for her pettiness, it's bound to create one or more rifts in the ponies' dimension. The Big Bad, if there is any, will be a [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Bill Cipher]]-like deity taking advantage of these rifts to bring forth the apocalypse. He/She will essentially be Discord turned Up To Eleven in comparison to the Discord we know and love. Starlight Glimmer will then have to own up to her mistakes and fight the villain by herself if the Mane Six fail to defeat him/her. This also risks Starlight into losing the respect of her genuine friends and potential family if the villain calls her out for her past actions right in front of the townspeople or Equestria's higher-ups, considering that time travel is not a toy.

[[WMG: Humans will show up.]]
At least in a short gag. Actual humans, not the ''Equestria Girls'' kind.

[[WMG: One of the Mane Six will become pregnant and give birth.]]
Yeah, I know, really crazy, right? But we haven't gotten a pregnancy episode yet (they had a chance to do so with Cadance, but for some reason, they decided to skip to after the foal's birth), and this would be a great (and status quo-changing) opportunity to do so. The question is, which of the Mane Six would this plot be best-suited for?

[[WMG: Equestria will get destroyed]]
With the BigBad's very own [[Franchise/StarWars Death Star]].

[[WMG: A character gets KilledOffForReal]]
The most obvious choice is the world-threatening BigBad.

[[WMG: Megan will be one of the main protagonists.]]
And though this is wishful thinking, I'd hope that the main villain would be (in the tradition of more memorable MLP villains being expies) both human and an analogue of [[Videogame/Borderlands2 Handsome Jack]]...or [[Videogame/{{Battleborn}} Lothar Rendain]], on of the two, or maybe a human who's an analogue of Jack and a right hand man who's a pegasus and an expy of Rendain.

[[WMG: [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Euzeth Gozzo]] will be the BigBad.]]
And he will claim responsibility for every major threat to Equestria. Honestly, how many other baddies from other series was this guy behind?

[[WMG: There will be a [[WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012 Littlest Pet Shop]] short before the movie.]]

[[WMG: Each of the Mane Six will be forced to fight an evil counterpart of themselves.]]
[[WMG: The FinalBattle will be more epic than the entire [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Avengers movie]].]]
This movie will definitely go all out with the action scenes.

[[WMG: The Princesses will perform their own [[Film/ANewHope Death Star trench run]], blasting away TIE Fighters on the way to the reactor core.]]

[[WMG: The popular background ponies will be part of a BigDamnArmy, channeling their fandom-granted superpowers to slow down the BigBad's army.]]

[[WMG: The movie will deconstruct the entire series.]]

[[WMG: Twilight will perform a HeroicSacrifice in the final battle, but the magic of friendship will save her from dying.]]
She will [[Film/IndependenceDay fly into the]] [[BigBad Big Bad]]'s [[AttackItsWeakPoint mothership's core and empty all her magic into it at point-blank range]], destroying it from the inside out. As the now-exhausted Twilight falls to her apparent death, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy will catch her.

Alternatively, she will convert herself into energy to power up her friends and turn the tables. After the BigBad is destroyed, the power-up is reversed to bring Twilight back.

[[WMG: The movie will reuse the whole original theme tune (with new lyrics, of course).]]

[[WMG: There will be a DiscOneFinalBoss.]]
The apparent BigBad will be a normal pony who leads several evil Kaijin to Equestria. After being captured at the halfway point, it turns out she's good and that said Kaijin destroyed her whole civilization. The true BigBad created the Kaijin, captured the Princesses, and used a hologram projector to frame said DiscOneFinalBoss for both.

[[WMG: The FinalBattle will span the entirety of Equestria for 30 minutes.]]

[[WMG: The movie will involve a full scale invasion of both Equestria and the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls EQG universe]].]]
I discussed this with my friend Power_Play, who thought of this theory. How else would you explain the portal between the two worlds cracking at the end of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsLegendOfEverfree Legend of Everfree?]]

[[WMG: Rarity will battle [[http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/596171-rarity-fighting-a-giant-crab a]] [[http://imgur.com/gallery/QFMQc giant]] [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/rarity-fighting-a-giant-crab crab]]]]

[[WMG: This movie is actually a prequel covering the events directly before the first episode.]]
These are many of the same people behind the original ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', after all, and that movie was made as a prequel with the intent that it's not required viewing but is still significant to world-building. Then again, they might not want to do the same thing twice. In general though, I don't think ''anything'' in the movie will be required viewing, due to different accessibility.

[[WMG: The series will continue to go on as if the movie didn't happen, albeit perhaps with some minor changes.]]
This has been par for the course with western animated TV series that get movies. It's the case with ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' (twice), ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' (three times), ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''. The only one I can think of that actually ended with a movie over the past 20 years is ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}''. (I'm speaking strictly of movies with theatrical runs though, so stuff like ''Ed Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show'' and ''Wakko's Wish'' don't count.) This show is still quite obscure in the general public, as much of a splash it made when it first came out. As much as it broke out of the GirlShowGhetto, it's still no ''Series/BreakingBad'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'', or even ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' in terms of public awareness. A wide-release theatrical movie will give the series a lot of mainstream exposure, and [[MoneyDearBoy the new money]] it brings in means there's no chance the show will end there. At the same time, the movie audience is pretty different from the TV audience, where there are plenty of people who watch movies but don't watch TV and people who watch TV but don't watch movies. To keep things comprehensible, all of the aforementioned series just keep going as if the movies didn't exist. I don't see why this one would be different, unless they're banking that heavily on the existing viewers.

The Hasbro Studios logo will appear, but instead it will say Discord Studios. Discord will pop up giggling to himself, before an angry Twilight appears and zaps the logo into the correct one, much to Discord's displeasure.
* And it'll also show DHX, in the style of the THX logo.

[[WMG: There will be an animated short shown before the movie proper, "produced, written, directed by, and starring Discord"]]
The animation is crude and sloppy, except for Discord, who is drawn immaculately. Also, it's clear that Discord is voicing all the characters. The plot involves everypony doing nothing but praising and complementing Discord, except for the ineffectual "Mega-Evil Super-Jerk Queen Celestia", who attempts to antagonize Discord through several TomAndJerry-like visual gags.



If the movie acts as a GrandFinale to ''Friendship Is Magic'' (or G4 as a whole), Discord could say "All good things must come to an end", referencing Q's line in TNG's series finale. Said line could possibly be used as ArcWords.
