** Here's an idea of what would happen if she did: The fanbase would be highly [[BaseBreaker divided]], one side being happy that there is proof Rainbow Dash isn't a lesbian and supporting the new canon RD pairing, another screeching about how RD having a boyfriend "ruins her character" and that Hasbro is homophobic and giving in to the demands of MoralGuardians, and a third bombarding RD's LoveInterest with DieForOurShip and RonTheDeathEater for "getting in the way" of their RD pairings (considering that she's a LauncherOfAThousandShips). However, if Rainbow's boyfriend is likable enough and their relationship is believable, the majority of the fandom might support it. Either way, ShipToShipCombat is bound to ensue.

Okay, I have to credit [[http://comments.deviantart.com/1/320541549/2690722383 VladimirMacHolzraum on DeviantArt]] with this idea. Some images of Trixie wearing an amulet with the same color scheme as that possible season 3 villain have shown up. So far the theory has been something along the lines of: Trixie has joined the villain in exchange for an amulet that makes her even greater and more powerful. What, however, if that amulet actually turns her into the villain form? It should also be noted that the amulet is apparently called “Alicorn Amulet,” so it is plausible that it is an amulet that turns you into an alicorn and gives you all of their powers.

Also, before you ask why Gilda doesn’t have a French accent, maybe her parents moved to Equestria before she was born. Or hatched. Hmm, do Griffons hatch from eggs?

At some point during season 3, just around the time when the new "Fluttershy and the family" playset will hit the shelves, we will suddenly discover that Fluttershy is actually married and has two sons, the rest of the cast will act like they knew it all the time, and Fluttershy will start singing a diabetes tasting song about how much she loves her family, with flashbacks revealing that whenever there was a scene inside of her cottage, her family was always in the next room. Then the fandom will go dawww about what a great wife and mother Fluttershy is.is.
[[WMG: Twilight will unlock a SuperMode by [[AllYourPowersCombined combing all of the Elements of Harmony together]].]]
There will be an enemy so strong that not even the Elements of Harmony's usual FinishingMove will be able to stop it. Just when it seems like the enemy is about to finish the Mane 6 off, Twilight stands brave, proclaiming that she'll never let him/her win and that she will protect everyone she loves and cares about. Just then, her crown and all of her friends' necklaces start to glow. The enemy laughs it off and proceeds to fire a powerful blast at her. Suddenly, the necklaces fly off their bearers and surround Twilight, protecting her from the blast. Afterwards, the necklaces transform into armor for Twilight, with the crown transforming into a helment.

[[WMG: Should they make a Second Season for the series...]]
* 24/03/2011 - Greenlit for another series of [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/05/26-episodes-clarification-from-daniel.html 26]] episodes ^^
* There will be at least one episode centering around a male pony/ponies. While some ponies will resist and one (maybe Rarity) will dress up for him, but the ponies learn he's a person, too. The aesop will of course be that "boys and girls can be friends."
** If there is a "stallions and colts are ponies too" episode, it would more likely be centered around the school-age foals like the Cutie Mark Crusaders, as children are the ones that more often tend to be sexist. Considering they're the only colts in the series, if they do have such an episode, it would probably be one to shed some sympathetic light on Snips and Snails. When the events of the episode lead to their humiliation, it seems like no one really cares all that much; I mean, they're just the comic relief guys. But when along comes the DidYouThinkICantFeel scene...
* Trixie will join the crew as the SixthRanger.
** Many fans like Trixie because of her [[ThirdPersonPerson various]] [[SmugSuper bad]] [[AnythingYouCanDoICanDoBetter attributes]]. Remove them and she's no longer the Trixie we know and like. Keep them and other fans will complain why the Mane Cast is hanging around with somepony [[TheScrappy who's always insulting them]].
* Alternately, Derpy Hooves. In case she becomes popular enough to Hasbro consider making a toy based on her. Well, why not? It's not like Trixie doesn't have followers or that can't be made appealing for the target audience. And Derpy is...Derpy -- [[EnsembleDarkhorse everybrony's favorite pony]].
** The problem with adding another pegasus would be that they would have to add another unicorn and another Earth pony as well. If there were more of one than the others, it might be construed as favoritism and pegasus popularity would rise, resulting in fewer sales of unicorn or Earth pony toys. Remember Hasbro's motto: To sell toys.
*** [[{{OTP}} Lyra Heartstrings and Bon Bon.]]
* Why is no one thinking of Zecora?
** Then she will become a RecurringCharacter that The Ponies will use for help when they encounter something [[HollywoodVoodoo voodoo]], or She'll become a SixthRanger of some shorts.
*** Confirmed true: as of the 10th episode of the second season, Zecora has been in 3 of them basically for her voodoo that she does so well (the tale of Nightmare Night, the inspiration and solution for Applebloom's Cutie Pox, and as for why Spike was growing out of control).
* As another alternative they will add a male SixthRanger ([[FanNickname Doctor Whooves]] FTW!) in an attempt to cash in even further on the male audience.
** Keep in mind that Hasbro started releasing repaints before they've even released molded versions of some of the ''main cast''. I rather doubt Hasbro is paying any attention to anything at all.
* What about Princess Luna as the SixthRanger? Think about it. Luna has been in the moon for 1000 years. Whether she was awake/percieved it as a full millenium doesn't matter if you realize that any friends she had before imprisonment are probably dead/gone. Secondly, there would be great potential for her development as a character; I'd expect a lot of TheAtoner, guilt, etc. Thirdly, there would be potential for character dynamics; it wouldn't be a stretch at all to have one or more ponies still unsure about her, still wary. And fourth... Hasbro could make another *** toy if they wanted to.
* It will feature longer story arches the way Lauren Faust wanted the show to be rather than episodic.
* It will add more of the "{{sailor moon}}" vibe the pilot provided (which was apparently quashed by ExecutiveMeddling), though the majority of the episodes will probably still be the slice of life sort.
** Highly likely, since WordOfGod says that season(s) 2 and/or 3 will be introducing villains. (Woo hoo!)
* There will be an episode where Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy [[PersonalitySwap switch personalities]], [[HilarityEnsues just for hilarity and]] [[TalkingToHimself the fact they're voiced by the same person]].
** Why not Rainbow Dash and Applejack? They share a voice actor too.
*** Never said that couldn't happen either.
** If not personalities, why not powers? Applejack and or Twilight as Pegasi and Fluttershy and or Pinkie as Unicorns would be awesome
[[WMG: Lauren Faust will include some reference to the '4chan Pony Wars'.]]
We know that she at least is aware of the shows popularity on 4chan, and considering how wracked the fandom is with the site putting the fan community there into a strangle hold, she's probably going to hear about it at some point. Considering the nods already given to the [[FanCommunityNickname bronies]], I wouldn't doubt one bit that she'd give a little nod at some point as to the plight of the fan community. Perhaps a little dialogue quip or something.
[[WMG: Season 3 will introduce more Elemental groupings.]]
For example: The Elements of Justice (Intelligence, Patience, Diligence)
[[WMG: Season two will involve a search for the "Seventh Element".]]
The seventh being "Courage" which is possessed by Spike, however since his young body is too fragile to handle such a power using it will involve a temporary PlotRelevantAgeUp until he learns how to control it.
[[WMG: No matter how hard they may try, Studio B won't be able to give everypony from Season 1 a return appearance.]]
This will lead to the bronies deciding that the missing character has had an untimely demise between seasons, [[TheFabFour complete with reading "clues" from the series]] that supposedly support the [[UrbanLegends "facts"]] that they will be creating, themselves.
* Exactly how an animated character can get killed instead of merely PutOnABus will be a main point of the debunkers.
* If this guess is correct, expect a Snopes entry before the last episode of Season 2 is aired on the Hub network.
[[WMG: Season(s) 2 and/or 3 will be slightly darker than season 1.]]
By which I mean, there will be slightly darker storylines and elements. For the most part, the show will retain it's lightheartedness. But there will be storylines where the entire fate of Equestria is at stake, and there will be threatening villains. There might even be a sadder episode or two, like Granny Smith dying. This is because Hasbro not only acknowledges the older fanbase, but EMBRACES it. (Crowning Company of Awesome, much?) Hasbro even stated that they won't take down fan-made [=FiM=] videos, even the less child-friendly ones, because they promote the show. Since the older internet fans not only watch the show, but heavily promote it through pictures, forums, memes, and videos, Hasbro and the studio will do a little more to appeal to them while still keeping the aspects of the show that made it so awesome and appealing.
[[WMG: The first episode's {{Foreshadowing}} will be revealed to have another meaning.]]
As almost everyone knows, Nightmare Moon was shown in the hourglass in the first episode when it was distorting a statue. If you think about it, they actually could have place Foreshadowing elsewhere... Unless Nightmare Moon was ''watching'' Twilight, and has plans for her, [[DemonicPossession plans that involve using her incredible powers as her own]].
[[WMG: CerebusSyndrome will ensue.]]
[[WMG: Someone will be KilledOffForReal.]]
* Celestia, with Luna taking control of the sun as well as the moon. Twilight instead keeps her "friendship reports" in a diary of some sort, maybe a CaptainsLog.
* Granny Smith. Not necessarily killed, but maybe passing on in her sleep, leading to some [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming bonding between Applejack and Pinkie]], the latter of whom will have had experienced the loss of Granny Pie when she was Apple Bloom's age.
** Plus, Sweetie Belle could get her cutie mark singing at the funeral.
* A villian who is [[CompleteMonster utterly evil and despicable,]] and somehow immune to the Elements of Harmony.
[[WMG: Season(s) 2 and 3 will include more [[ShoutOut references]] to the various fan works.]]
* [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]] finally having his proper accent and running around with Derpy, Colgate, or Rose.
* Spike wearing [[ScottPilgrim Scott's jacket.]]
* A party featuring a [[Music/WeirdAlYankovic Pony Polka.]]
* Pinkie acting odder than usual with her friends mistaking her for a killer.
* Big Macintosh shown as being rather popular with the Fillies.
** [[{{Squick}} I think you mean the]] ''mares.''
*** Perhaps the OP was subtly referencing [[SweetAppleMassacre a certain other fic]] [[HeWhoMustNotBeNamed which shall not be named]]...?
*** Remember that in reality, adult women may also sometimes be called "girls", especially in such contexts. It may be politically incorrect and degrading, but it happens.
* Apple Bloom developing a crush on Spike.
* A [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover Massive Multiplayer]] CrisisCrossover / MilestoneCelebration
* And much more!
[[WMG: None of the villains from previous incarnations will appear.]]
Keep in mind, the only G1 copyrights Hasbro could retain were on Spike and Applejack. This probably extends to the villains and minor characters, too. However, we could easily get a LawyerFriendlyCameo or an Expy of a villain or 2.
[[WMG: "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E3LessonZero Lesson Zero]]" set up a change in format for future episodes.]]
Celestia condition to forget Twilight's punishment was that the rest of mane cast be involved in making friendship report when and only when they discover them. This could lead to the following in future episodes:
* Because the rest of mane cast can send friendship reports now, there will be episodes where Twilight will be absent, possibly focusing solely on one of the characters, and if they find something to report, they can now do it themselves.
** This is confirmed to be correct, but it still remains if the second part is also true.
* Not every episode will have an aesop. Some will just be for fun.
[[WMG: The group friendship reports at the end of "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E3LessonZero Lesson Zero]]" will be a parallel to the Grand Galloping Gala from Season 1.]]
The Grand Galloping Gala (referred to further in this WMG as "GGG" for short) in Season 1 served as a psuedo-StoryArc as a sort of compromise between Faust and Hasbro. There were three episodes in this arc, a beginning, middle, and end. The beginning was the third episode. Season 2 will have the group friendship reports in the same manner. "Lesson Zero", the third episode of the season, is the beginning. At the season's midpoint, there will be a story where the plot focuses on the group friendship reports... somehow, I'm not quite sure. The season finale will be the end as well. I'm not sure how a plot could actually be derived from the reports, perhaps it'll be based on some other aspect of "Lesson Zero", or maybe it'll involve some of the new villains.
[[WMG: Season 3 will finally have an overarching plotline.]]
Reportedly, Season 3 will have only 13 episodes, compared to the first two seasons having 26 each. True, a coherent story can be hard to get out on a tight schedule, but with only half as many episodes, it would also have the plus of not having to be stretched out as far.
[[WMG: There are only (currently) 13 episodes for Season 3 so the FIM team can make a movie/30th anniversary special.]]
2012 is the 30 year anniversary of the ''MyLittlePony'' franchise, so they might take some time off from the show to do something to celebrate like a movie.
[[WMG: Season 3 will end with a SeriesFauxnale.]]
[[WMG: Season 3 will be the GrandFinale.]]
[[WMG: The show will end with a BigDamnMovie.]]
* Whether the show ends after the third or fourth season or lasts even longer, it's possible it could end with a BigDamnMovie. The past MyLittlePony franchises have all had movies, furthermore, it seems a show like this would go out with a bang. It may not end up in theaters but it could be on TV. It would involve the Mane Cast fighting an evil that threatens to destroy not only Equestria, but the whole world.
[[WMG:By the end of S2 everyone of the mane six with have had an at-least 70% sanity slippage. ]]
[[WMG: The show will end with a MassSuperEmpoweringEvent.]]
In which every single pony in existence is turned into an Alicorn.
[[WMG: At least one member of the mane cast will get a LoveInterest.]]
And the fandom will ''hate'' him, subjecting him to DieForOurShip and RonTheDeathEater within hours of the first episode he appears in airing. That or they will subject the member of the mane cast he is a LoveInterest for to DieForOurShip and RonTheDeathEater, and pair him off with some other character.
* RD will get a male LoveInterest. What happens next is better left to everyone's imagination...
[[WMG: Mare do well is only the tip of the iceberg.]]
There will be more hero [[{{Expy}} expies]] later on, including [[PowerRangers a ranger team]], [[IndianaJones an adventure archeaologist]], and [[Series/TheATeam a crack team of royal guards on the run for a crime they didn't commit]].
* And they'll form a [[JusticeLeague Justice Herd]].
* Luna will become {{Sailor Moon}} expy.
* One of those has now [[JustForFun/DaringDo happened]].
[[WMG: Each of the Mane Cast's Gala fantasy will come true this season.]]
In "Sweet And Elite", three of theirs already did (see below). At some point, the other three will have theirs come true, and possibly the other two whose weren't the episode's focus will have episodes devoted to it.
* Rarity: She met a high society stallon who behaved like a true gentleman towards her. Sure, there's no implication of a LoveInterest with Fancypants, but he still treated her like a lady and truly liked her for who she really was.
* Fluttershy: She made friends with some of the animals in Canterlot garden. If revisited, perhaps a future episode will involve her making friends with them (perhaps they get sick and Celestia calls her in to act as vet, knowing how much she wanted to befriend them before?)
* Pinkie Pie: She got to enjoy a big party in Canterlot and have a great time. Hers got more focus, seeing as she threw a big party for Twilight's birthday in Canterlot's ballroom, so a second episode might not be needed exploring this.
* Rainbow Dash: At some point, she'll get to hang out with the Wonderbolts for real, perhaps even get the chance to perform with them once (not ''join'' probably, but actually take part).
* Applejack: She make money for her farm and family somehow, though she did destroy the old barn so a new one could be built in it's place, so hers may have already come true too.
* Twilight: She'll get the chance to spend time with Celestia for real. Perhaps Celestia decides to take the day off and spends it with her for real.
[[WMG: Spike and Rarity will eventually become an OfficialCouple.]]
Due to the recent developments it seems to be leading up to this. [[StatusQuoIsGod BUT]], there is a rather evident age difference and I doubt it will be openly allowed.
* There could be a case of JailBaitWait, on Rarity's part.
* Dragon Quest seems to have shades of this.
[[WMG: The display of ThePowerOfFriendship to defeat the Windigos is {{Foreshadowing}}.]]
It shows it's possible to utilize a CircleOfFriendship attack of DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu strength ''without'' having the Elements Of Harmony, at least not the ''physical'' elements. A future villain will somehow steal the Elements again, but ultimately be beaten by the Mane Cast using the Rainbow Of Light ''without'' the physical elements.
* In the two-episode pilot, they were able to summon the elements because the spirits of the elements were still there. So yeah, it's pretty much already confirmed that the spirits of the elements alone can be enough to defeat evil.
** [[spoiler:Confirmed, sort of. The Mane Cast don't do it, but Cadence and Shining Armor manage to repeat what was used to defeat the Windigos in order to put down Chrysalis and her swarm.]]
[[WMG: Discord's origins will be revealed.]]
And it will turn out he was originally a being with little power at all, until a source gave him Reality Warping abilities [[FromNobodyToNightmare turning him into who he is today]].
* This troper came up with the idea that Discord was created by a combination of the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E13HearthsWarmingEve Windigos]], beginning to starve from the new-found Harmony between Pony-kind, and whatever it was that made Nightmare Moon.
[[WMG:The Fire of Friendship will serve many roles later in the series]]
* The beacon will be transported in a torch and later re-lit as the full beacon in the Equestrian version of the Olympics.
* The beacon will be a source of power for the six when the Elements of Harmony fail them somehow.
[[WMG: After Friendship is Magic gets its series finale, there will be a sequel series.]]
Possibly featuring the offspring of the FIM cast as the new main characters, maybe even some characters related to side characters like Zecora or even Derpy. Like ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', it would place the characters in a different situation to avoid repeating the events of the first show, perhaps having the characters travel all over Equestria or even the world to do research. It might even have an overarching storyline as opposed to "slice of life" episodes that are dominant in FIM.
* A possibility: The offsprings are meant to wield the Elements of Harmony... But unlike their parents, will have to develop to fit into their roles.
** That would be pretty cool.
*** "Pretty cool?" This is the best idea ever!
*** Seconded! I WANT!...And now I will try my hand at this as a fanfic! To my writing program!
[[WMG: Each character will get a solo ImageSong this season]]
Rarity's already had "Becoming Popular", which works as one for her. "Smile, Smile, Smile" is one for Pinkie Pie. WordOfGod has already confirmed Twilight will (or was going to) get a solo song as well, which would be hers. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Applejack will get there's at other points.
[[WMG: We'll get a nod to the [[CrossOver myriad crossovers]] the fandom has produced. [[RuleOfFunny Especially]] [[RatedMForManly those with "macho" franchises.]]]]
Ideas are welcome and encourgaed.
* A [[ModernWarfare MW3]] parody, perhaps? The villain of the day could even be a [[EverythingsWorseWithBears huge bear]] voiced by none other than Roman Varshavsky! (Varshavsky voiced [[BigBad Makarov]] in the games).
[[WMG: The show will end or will begin its last arc of episodes with someone's death]]
Because what better way to end a quest to report findings on friendship than by having a report of what happens when the friendship meets an untimely end?
* This could however result in [[DarkerandEdgier a higher age rating]] since [[NeverSayDie actual death is rarely shown nor mentioned in kid's shows]].
[[WMG: Lyra Heartstrings will get some screentime.]]
With all her appearances, a quite consistent haughty personality, and even spoken lines, Bon Bon is all but a borderline secondary character at this point in the season; time for Lyra to get some characterization.
* Lyra gets plenty of screentime... [[FunnyBackgroundEvent in the background]]! [[CompletelyMissingThePoint What]]?
[[WMG: DJ PON-3/Vinyl Scratch will be named and/or speak.]]
To make it up to those fans who are still upset about the Derpy incident, DJ PON-3 will get a similarly-focused scene. Nobody could be offended by DJ PON-3 right?
* [[UnpleasableFanbase "They mispronounced her name!"]]
[[WMG: Season 3 will be the last season and will only make 13 episodes.]]
I just realized: 26+26+13=65
AKA: The limit of most kids shows... for the love of Celestia! Tell me I'm wrong!
* I don't know. This troper would prefer a short run to a long run that JumpsTheShark.
** This [[OtakuKun troper]] would prefer a long run that doesn't JumpTheShark.
** Technically, this limit is mostly imposed by Disney, which doesn't own the MLP line.
[[WMG:The series finale will TorchTheFranchiseAndRun.]]
* They will do this to ensure the G4 characters will not be corrupted with SeasonalRot and, should a new series be made, will force the creation of a fresh generation.
[[WMG:If a BigDamnMovie comes out, there will be a remixed version of the Extended version of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4By8YHOnILo the sing-along]] on the DVD.]]
To punctuate a particularly [[AwesomeMoment incredibly cool and amazing]] moment.
[[WMG: If a movie comes out, it will [[AlternateContinuity be an alternate version of]] ''Return of Harmony''.]]
Retelling the events of ''Return of Harmony'' to make up for what seemed like rushed storytelling and/or lost potential in the original episode.
* Maybe in the same fashion as the {{Rebuild of Evangelion}} movies; just like the original episode but [[TookaLevelinBadass with new story elements]].
** For example, we might get an extended ending with [[BigDamnVillains Discord actually making a last stand]] since he wasn't able to in the original episode. Maybe even [[BigDamnHeroes Princess Luna enters the fray]] [[HeroicSacrifice to help the Mane 6 put him back on a pedestal!]]
[[WMG: There will be an episode about the Other Mane 6 (Derpy,DJPon-3,and other backround ponies).]]
[[WMG: Only Changelings are supposed to be able to use the power of love]]
That's why Chrysalis is surprised. Maybe Shining Armor is/can use a small amount of changeling power.
* His changeling might allow him to become [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Shining Armor, Super Mode and maybe upgrade into Burning Armor]]. Twilight also has changeling powers and used them once to turn into [[{{Pokemon}} Rapidash]]
[[WMG: Compared to the past two seasons, the third season will have a noticeable decrease in [[YouALLLookFamiliar background pony clones]]...]]
...implying that changelings really ''were'' lurking in previous episodes.
[[WMG: The Third Season might never actually come.]]
If worse comes to worst, Hasbro might eventually get tired of [[FanDumb bronies arguing and fighting each other]] (e.g. "Derpy Drama") that they cancel the show giving them nothing. They might make a mediocre CGI movie though. Regardless, if we're not careful, the My Little Pony we all know and love right now could eventually be Ruined Forever.
[[WMG: All the villains will return...]]
...[[LegionOfDoom But working together]], putting aside each other's petty differences in either an attempt to steal Equestria and the world, or just general revenge against the Mane Cast, with the Changeling Army functioning as mooks for the villains.
[[WMG: There will be a story arc that isn't restricted to two episodes.]]
And the story arc will have the Mane Cast travel across Equestria to teach other villages or species AnAesop, separated from each other, all because they're either dealing with a brand new threat, or [[LegionOfDoom all of the previous threats]].
[[WMG: The Four horses of the Apocalypse will appear]]
Pestilence, War, Famine and Death (With Death’s name changed, this is a kid’s show after all) Will show up for some reason. Most likely as major villains. After all, these horses are supposed to signal the end of times, and what better finale than to save all life on whatever planet equestria is on?
[[WMG: Derpy's next speaking roll]]
Will be ordering muffins from Suger Cube Corner and will go like this:
Mrs Cake: Hello Derpy what can I get for you today?
Derpy: I'll have my ususal
Mrs Cake: Two Dusen assorted muffins coming up
[[WMG: A future BigBad will be beaten using [[TheFourLoves Storge and Agape]] Love]]
The show ''is'' Phileo Love, Eros Love was used to defeat Chrysalis. Perhaps another villain will be defeated another type of love.
Possibilities (Please, add your own):
* Spike and Twilight's Brother/Sister Love for one another.
** Manifests: In some kind of [[KillItWithFire Fire Spell]], probably green.
* Celestia's unconditional love for her subjects.
** Manifests: ???
* Twilight, Shining Armor, and their Parents' familial love.
** Manifests: In a ''gigantic'' explosion of magic.
* Twilight's love for and/or faith in every living creature in Equestria as well as everypony's faith in Twilight
** Manifests: An almighty CombinedEnergyAttack
[[WMG: Connecting to the above, the final BigBad will be defeated by all of TheFourLoves together]]
The Mane Cast using the Elements, Shining Armor and Cadence using their love for each other, Celestia and Luna using the love for their people, and...someone using family love, possibly the rest of the Apples.
* Complete with a truly epic ThemeMusicPowerUp!
[[WMG: The "Crystal Empire" is a plot element in Season 3, either as a the premiere episode or Season Finale]]
Some upcoming toys are tagged as part of a [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/05/more-pony-packs-wings-and-scooters.html "Crystal Empire" set.]] “Welcome to the Crystal Empire, a magical place full of hidden secrets! The ponies shine and sparkle here!” Now, they made an entire toyline set for the Royal Wedding, so it makes sense they may repeat the formula. Also, much like the Royal Wedding the actual Crystal Empire episode(s?) will be much DarkerAndEdgier than the toys would have you believe. After all, its full of hidden secrets!
* [[http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,300761.msg268697.html#msg268697 "Princess Celestia and Princess Luna believe that Princess Cadance will bring happiness to the Crystal Empire!"]]
* [[https://twitter.com/M_A_Larson/status/220769694150434818 It's looking likely]] that this Crystal Empire is indeed a Season 3 thing.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDiIYb7g43g&t=6m50s At about 6:50 in this interview with a Hasbro worker]], according to her she's not allowed to tell anyone about it, but mentions that the studio where the show is made requested them not to. That pretty much can be translated into, "Yeah, this Crystal Empire stuff is indeed in the actual show, but we just made the toys and are not aloud to talk about it yet."
[[WMG: Next season's major villains will all have a theme]]
This season was {{Emotion Eater}}s, Discord off of disharmony between ponies, the Windigos off the PowerOfHate, and the Changelings off the PowerOfLove. If the Flim Flam Brothers and the teenaged dragons are included, then the theme was [ManipulativeBastard manipulative villains]] (Flim Flam Brothers manipulated the entire town and the Apples, and it's pretty obvious that the teenage dragons were manipulating Spike into joining their gang to use him as phoenix bait). First season only had one major villain, Nightmare Moon, but pride and jealousy was the theme behind every villain that season, Gilda seems at least partly driven by jealousy over Pinkie being Rainbow's friend, Trixie was prideful, and Nightmare Moon was jealous of her sister. The next season will have it's own theme when it comes to villains.
[[WMG: Season 3 will introduce another mode of transportation (and add it to the opening sequence)]]
Twilight Sparkle's Twinkling Balloon has been there since Season 1, and Season 2 brought the Friendship Express Train.
* And it will be an Airship.
[[WMG: Trixie will return, and be given redemption.]]
Why wouldn't she? I'm sick of people painting her as a destined villain. I want her to be forgiven, and part ways with the Mane 6 under kinder terms.
[[WMG: [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E20ItsAboutTime Twilight Sparkle will get a really cool birthday present.]]]]
Perhaps even in an episode that airs in 2013.
[[WMG: Rarity and Sweetie Belle's parents will have one or more speaking roles in Season 3.]]
They're the only characters listed in [[http://imgur.com/egRde this email]] who haven't appeared in more than one episode...yet.
[[WMG: Applejack will be removed from the mane cast at some point in season three]]
The writers don't seem to know what to do with her character, and in almost all the (Very few) episodes she gets the spotlight in, she ends up being overshadowed by somepony else. So, they will either [[KilledOffForReal kill her off]] (Unlikely due to the nature of the show), or [[PutOnABus put her on a bus.]] She may reappear at times or get a few mentions (i.e Rainbow Dash checking her mail and getting a letter from 'Jack) , but her role in the show will be drastically reduced. Methods by which she may be killed off/ put on a bus (Feel free to add more):
* Performs a HeroicSacrifice to save the others.
* Gets a [[DroppedABridgeOnHim bridge dropped on her]] [[TheWorfEffect to show how tough the main villain of the season opener is.]]
* Moves to Appleossa.
[[WMG: If the above WMG proves to be correct, Applejack's replacement will be...]]
* Cheerilee
* Braeburn
* Trixie
[[WMG: Season 3's first cold opening will involve [[VileVillainSaccharineShow an extremely intimidating villain]] being introduced...]]
...but in the very next scene, [[CurbStompBattle Celestia swoops in and handily (hoofily?) takes care of his/her mess.]] The episode, a two-parter like the other season openers, then goes on to be a DayInTheLimelight for Celestia, in which we delve into the history of how she and Luna came to power.
[[WMG: Twilight will become BrainwashedAndCrazy by the next BigBad.]]
And only her friends will be able to change her back to normal.
[[WMG: Rarity will fall for Fancy Pants]]
She'll do her best to gently put Spike down, as the episode will be about how a first crush won't ever be the first crush you'll have.
[[WMG: Twilight will become a [[SpotlightStealingSquad Spotlight Stealer]] in Season 3.]]
The writers will realize that they didn't give Twilight enough focus episodes in Season 2 and will try to make up for that by making most of the episodes in Season 3 center around her.
[[WMG: Season three's intro will be an english translated version of the Italian intro]]
It's obvious. Season 2 had a remix of the Season 1 theme song, so we will get an english version of the Italian intro.
[[WMG: Alternatively, Season three will have an all-new theme song]]
[[WMG: Rarity and Spike will get married in the series finale]]
Tell me I'm not the only one who thinks this. It's been made pretty damn obvious by now that Rarity has officially fallen for Spike, especially in Secret of my Excess. And it's only fitting for them to get married in the series finale, since, well, doing it in the middle of the series would screw up the plotline. The episode will end with the news of a baby that happens to be the first ever hybrid of a pony and a dragon.
[[WMG: There will be an episode in which Apple Bloom finds a very special somepony.]]
The episode will be titled [[JustForPun Bloom is in Love]].
[[WMG: If Discord does return, he'll try to eliminate Twilight.]]
Obviously, he'll want to get rid of the very pony who foiled him last time. He will believe that since Twilight holds the strongest element of the Elements of Harmony, with her out of the way, nothing will stop him, not even the other 5 holders.
[[WMG: An ex-wielder of an Element of Harmony will return....]]
[[FallenHero But as a villain. ]]
* [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E1MareInTheMoon Again?]]
** Soooo... Confirmed?
** I know. Luna was the Element of Loyalty, Discord the Element of Laughter and Chrysalis the Element of Honesty. There is still room for two more original wielders turned evil. Poor Celestia lost all her friends.
[[WMG: In the episode Discord returns in, he will have a song]]
[[VillainSong And it will be awesome]].
[[WMG: The show will have a GainaxEnding]]
[[WMG: If the Crystal Kingdom is a big role in season 2, then the BigBad will be a MythologyGag to either Lavan or Porcina]]
The show loves its mythology gags, and both those villains would fit such a place.
[[WMG: Queen Chrysalis will become a recurring villain.]]
[[WMG: Trixie will return seeking vengeance...]]
[[PickOnSomeoneYourOwnSize On Snips & Snail]]s, because they're the ones that brought the Ursa Minor to town. Depending on what they say to her, she might end up going after Spike as well.
[[WMG: An episode will focus on the Apples trying to modernize the orchard.]]
Both seasons have had an episode where all of their hard work just plain didn't cut it. The third season will have an episode where Applejack tries to prevent that from being an issue.
[[WMG: [[MisterSeahorse Shining Armor]] is pregnant.]]
By [[FaceFullOfAlienWingWong Queen Chrysalis]]. The episode will consist of finding a way to abort the pregnancy [[ChestBurster before it's too late]]. Hey, she has some other insect-like features, so why not that one?
[[WMG: It will turn out Fluttershy has had a husband and children all along.]]
At some point during season 3, just around the time when the new "Fluttershy and the family" playset will hit the shelves, we will suddenly discover that Fluttershy is actually married and has two sons, the rest of the cast will act like they knew it all the time, and Fluttershy will start singing a diabetes tasting song about how much she loves her family, with flashbacks revealing that whenever there was a scene inside of her cottage, her family was always in the next room. Then the fandom will go dawww about what a great wife and mother Fluttershy is.

[[WMG: Should they make a Second Season for the series...]]
* 24/03/2011 - Greenlit for another series of [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/05/26-episodes-clarification-from-daniel.html 26]] episodes ^^
* There will be at least one episode centering around a male pony/ponies. While some ponies will resist and one (maybe Rarity) will dress up for him, but the ponies learn he's a person, too. The aesop will of course be that "boys and girls can be friends."
** If there is a "stallions and colts are ponies too" episode, it would more likely be centered around the school-age foals like the Cutie Mark Crusaders, as children are the ones that more often tend to be sexist. Considering they're the only colts in the series, if they do have such an episode, it would probably be one to shed some sympathetic light on Snips and Snails. When the events of the episode lead to their humiliation, it seems like no one really cares all that much; I mean, they're just the comic relief guys. But when along comes the DidYouThinkICantFeel scene...
* Trixie will join the crew as the SixthRanger.
** Many fans like Trixie because of her [[ThirdPersonPerson various]] [[SmugSuper bad]] [[AnythingYouCanDoICanDoBetter attributes]]. Remove them and she's no longer the Trixie we know and like. Keep them and other fans will complain why the Mane Cast is hanging around with somepony [[TheScrappy who's always insulting them]].
* Alternately, Derpy Hooves. In case she becomes popular enough to Hasbro consider making a toy based on her. Well, why not? It's not like Trixie doesn't have followers or that can't be made appealing for the target audience. And Derpy is...Derpy -- [[EnsembleDarkhorse everybrony's favorite pony]].
** The problem with adding another pegasus would be that they would have to add another unicorn and another Earth pony as well. If there were more of one than the others, it might be construed as favoritism and pegasus popularity would rise, resulting in fewer sales of unicorn or Earth pony toys. Remember Hasbro's motto: To sell toys.
*** [[{{OTP}} Lyra Heartstrings and Bon Bon.]]
* Why is no one thinking of Zecora?
** Then she will become a RecurringCharacter that The Ponies will use for help when they encounter something [[HollywoodVoodoo voodoo]], or She'll become a SixthRanger of some shorts.
*** Confirmed true: as of the 10th episode of the second season, Zecora has been in 3 of them basically for her voodoo that she does so well (the tale of Nightmare Night, the inspiration and solution for Applebloom's Cutie Pox, and as for why Spike was growing out of control).
* As another alternative they will add a male SixthRanger ([[FanNickname Doctor Whooves]] FTW!) in an attempt to cash in even further on the male audience.
** Keep in mind that Hasbro started releasing repaints before they've even released molded versions of some of the ''main cast''. I rather doubt Hasbro is paying any attention to anything at all.
* What about Princess Luna as the SixthRanger? Think about it. Luna has been in the moon for 1000 years. Whether she was awake/percieved it as a full millenium doesn't matter if you realize that any friends she had before imprisonment are probably dead/gone. Secondly, there would be great potential for her development as a character; I'd expect a lot of TheAtoner, guilt, etc. Thirdly, there would be potential for character dynamics; it wouldn't be a stretch at all to have one or more ponies still unsure about her, still wary. And fourth... Hasbro could make another *** toy if they wanted to.
* It will feature longer story arches the way Lauren Faust wanted the show to be rather than episodic.
* It will add more of the "{{sailor moon}}" vibe the pilot provided (which was apparently quashed by ExecutiveMeddling), though the majority of the episodes will probably still be the slice of life sort.
** Highly likely, since WordOfGod says that season(s) 2 and/or 3 will be introducing villains. (Woo hoo!)
* There will be an episode where Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy [[PersonalitySwap switch personalities]], [[HilarityEnsues just for hilarity and]] [[TalkingToHimself the fact they're voiced by the same person]].
** Why not Rainbow Dash and Applejack? They share a voice actor too.
*** Never said that couldn't happen either.
** If not personalities, why not powers? Applejack and or Twilight as Pegasi and Fluttershy and or Pinkie as Unicorns would be awesome
[[WMG: Lauren Faust will include some reference to the '4chan Pony Wars'.]]
We know that she at least is aware of the shows popularity on 4chan, and considering how wracked the fandom is with the site putting the fan community there into a strangle hold, she's probably going to hear about it at some point. Considering the nods already given to the [[FanCommunityNickname bronies]], I wouldn't doubt one bit that she'd give a little nod at some point as to the plight of the fan community. Perhaps a little dialogue quip or something.
[[WMG: Season 3 will introduce more Elemental groupings.]]
For example: The Elements of Justice (Intelligence, Patience, Diligence)
[[WMG: Season two will involve a search for the "Seventh Element".]]
The seventh being "Courage" which is possessed by Spike, however since his young body is too fragile to handle such a power using it will involve a temporary PlotRelevantAgeUp until he learns how to control it.
[[WMG: No matter how hard they may try, Studio B won't be able to give everypony from Season 1 a return appearance.]]
This will lead to the bronies deciding that the missing character has had an untimely demise between seasons, [[TheFabFour complete with reading "clues" from the series]] that supposedly support the [[UrbanLegends "facts"]] that they will be creating, themselves.
* Exactly how an animated character can get killed instead of merely PutOnABus will be a main point of the debunkers.
* If this guess is correct, expect a Snopes entry before the last episode of Season 2 is aired on the Hub network.
[[WMG: Season(s) 2 and/or 3 will be slightly darker than season 1.]]
By which I mean, there will be slightly darker storylines and elements. For the most part, the show will retain it's lightheartedness. But there will be storylines where the entire fate of Equestria is at stake, and there will be threatening villains. There might even be a sadder episode or two, like Granny Smith dying. This is because Hasbro not only acknowledges the older fanbase, but EMBRACES it. (Crowning Company of Awesome, much?) Hasbro even stated that they won't take down fan-made [=FiM=] videos, even the less child-friendly ones, because they promote the show. Since the older internet fans not only watch the show, but heavily promote it through pictures, forums, memes, and videos, Hasbro and the studio will do a little more to appeal to them while still keeping the aspects of the show that made it so awesome and appealing.
[[WMG: The first episode's {{Foreshadowing}} will be revealed to have another meaning.]]
As almost everyone knows, Nightmare Moon was shown in the hourglass in the first episode when it was distorting a statue. If you think about it, they actually could have place Foreshadowing elsewhere... Unless Nightmare Moon was ''watching'' Twilight, and has plans for her, [[DemonicPossession plans that involve using her incredible powers as her own]].
[[WMG: CerebusSyndrome will ensue.]]
[[WMG: Someone will be KilledOffForReal.]]
* Celestia, with Luna taking control of the sun as well as the moon. Twilight instead keeps her "friendship reports" in a diary of some sort, maybe a CaptainsLog.
* Granny Smith. Not necessarily killed, but maybe passing on in her sleep, leading to some [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming bonding between Applejack and Pinkie]], the latter of whom will have had experienced the loss of Granny Pie when she was Apple Bloom's age.
** Plus, Sweetie Belle could get her cutie mark singing at the funeral.
* A villian who is [[CompleteMonster utterly evil and despicable,]] and somehow immune to the Elements of Harmony.
[[WMG: Season(s) 2 and 3 will include more [[ShoutOut references]] to the various fan works.]]
* [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]] finally having his proper accent and running around with Derpy, Colgate, or Rose.
* Spike wearing [[ScottPilgrim Scott's jacket.]]
* A party featuring a [[Music/WeirdAlYankovic Pony Polka.]]
* Pinkie acting odder than usual with her friends mistaking her for a killer.
* Big Macintosh shown as being rather popular with the Fillies.
** [[{{Squick}} I think you mean the]] ''mares.''
*** Perhaps the OP was subtly referencing [[SweetAppleMassacre a certain other fic]] [[HeWhoMustNotBeNamed which shall not be named]]...?
*** Remember that in reality, adult women may also sometimes be called "girls", especially in such contexts. It may be politically incorrect and degrading, but it happens.
* Apple Bloom developing a crush on Spike.
* A [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover Massive Multiplayer]] CrisisCrossover / MilestoneCelebration
* And much more!
[[WMG: None of the villains from previous incarnations will appear.]]
Keep in mind, the only G1 copyrights Hasbro could retain were on Spike and Applejack. This probably extends to the villains and minor characters, too. However, we could easily get a LawyerFriendlyCameo or an Expy of a villain or 2.
[[WMG: "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E3LessonZero Lesson Zero]]" set up a change in format for future episodes.]]
Celestia condition to forget Twilight's punishment was that the rest of mane cast be involved in making friendship report when and only when they discover them. This could lead to the following in future episodes:
* Because the rest of mane cast can send friendship reports now, there will be episodes where Twilight will be absent, possibly focusing solely on one of the characters, and if they find something to report, they can now do it themselves.
** This is confirmed to be correct, but it still remains if the second part is also true.
* Not every episode will have an aesop. Some will just be for fun.
[[WMG: The group friendship reports at the end of "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E3LessonZero Lesson Zero]]" will be a parallel to the Grand Galloping Gala from Season 1.]]
The Grand Galloping Gala (referred to further in this WMG as "GGG" for short) in Season 1 served as a psuedo-StoryArc as a sort of compromise between Faust and Hasbro. There were three episodes in this arc, a beginning, middle, and end. The beginning was the third episode. Season 2 will have the group friendship reports in the same manner. "Lesson Zero", the third episode of the season, is the beginning. At the season's midpoint, there will be a story where the plot focuses on the group friendship reports... somehow, I'm not quite sure. The season finale will be the end as well. I'm not sure how a plot could actually be derived from the reports, perhaps it'll be based on some other aspect of "Lesson Zero", or maybe it'll involve some of the new villains.
[[WMG: Season 3 will finally have an overarching plotline.]]
Reportedly, Season 3 will have only 13 episodes, compared to the first two seasons having 26 each. True, a coherent story can be hard to get out on a tight schedule, but with only half as many episodes, it would also have the plus of not having to be stretched out as far.
[[WMG: There are only (currently) 13 episodes for Season 3 so the FIM team can make a movie/30th anniversary special.]]
2012 is the 30 year anniversary of the ''MyLittlePony'' franchise, so they might take some time off from the show to do something to celebrate like a movie.
[[WMG: Season 3 will end with a SeriesFauxnale.]]
[[WMG: Season 3 will be the GrandFinale.]]
[[WMG: The show will end with a BigDamnMovie.]]
* Whether the show ends after the third or fourth season or lasts even longer, it's possible it could end with a BigDamnMovie. The past MyLittlePony franchises have all had movies, furthermore, it seems a show like this would go out with a bang. It may not end up in theaters but it could be on TV. It would involve the Mane Cast fighting an evil that threatens to destroy not only Equestria, but the whole world.
[[WMG:By the end of S2 everyone of the mane six with have had an at-least 70% sanity slippage. ]]
[[WMG: The show will end with a MassSuperEmpoweringEvent.]]
In which every single pony in existence is turned into an Alicorn.
[[WMG: At least one member of the mane cast will get a LoveInterest.]]
And the fandom will ''hate'' him, subjecting him to DieForOurShip and RonTheDeathEater within hours of the first episode he appears in airing. That or they will subject the member of the mane cast he is a LoveInterest for to DieForOurShip and RonTheDeathEater, and pair him off with some other character.
* RD will get a male LoveInterest. What happens next is better left to everyone's imagination...
[[WMG: Mare do well is only the tip of the iceberg.]]
There will be more hero [[{{Expy}} expies]] later on, including [[PowerRangers a ranger team]], [[IndianaJones an adventure archeaologist]], and [[Series/TheATeam a crack team of royal guards on the run for a crime they didn't commit]].
* And they'll form a [[JusticeLeague Justice Herd]].
* Luna will become {{Sailor Moon}} expy.
* One of those has now [[JustForFun/DaringDo happened]].
[[WMG: Each of the Mane Cast's Gala fantasy will come true this season.]]
In "Sweet And Elite", three of theirs already did (see below). At some point, the other three will have theirs come true, and possibly the other two whose weren't the episode's focus will have episodes devoted to it.
* Rarity: She met a high society stallon who behaved like a true gentleman towards her. Sure, there's no implication of a LoveInterest with Fancypants, but he still treated her like a lady and truly liked her for who she really was.
* Fluttershy: She made friends with some of the animals in Canterlot garden. If revisited, perhaps a future episode will involve her making friends with them (perhaps they get sick and Celestia calls her in to act as vet, knowing how much she wanted to befriend them before?)
* Pinkie Pie: She got to enjoy a big party in Canterlot and have a great time. Hers got more focus, seeing as she threw a big party for Twilight's birthday in Canterlot's ballroom, so a second episode might not be needed exploring this.
* Rainbow Dash: At some point, she'll get to hang out with the Wonderbolts for real, perhaps even get the chance to perform with them once (not ''join'' probably, but actually take part).
* Applejack: She make money for her farm and family somehow, though she did destroy the old barn so a new one could be built in it's place, so hers may have already come true too.
* Twilight: She'll get the chance to spend time with Celestia for real. Perhaps Celestia decides to take the day off and spends it with her for real.
[[WMG: Spike and Rarity will eventually become an OfficialCouple.]]
Due to the recent developments it seems to be leading up to this. [[StatusQuoIsGod BUT]], there is a rather evident age difference and I doubt it will be openly allowed.
* There could be a case of JailBaitWait, on Rarity's part.
* Dragon Quest seems to have shades of this.
[[WMG: The display of ThePowerOfFriendship to defeat the Windigos is {{Foreshadowing}}.]]
It shows it's possible to utilize a CircleOfFriendship attack of DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu strength ''without'' having the Elements Of Harmony, at least not the ''physical'' elements. A future villain will somehow steal the Elements again, but ultimately be beaten by the Mane Cast using the Rainbow Of Light ''without'' the physical elements.
* In the two-episode pilot, they were able to summon the elements because the spirits of the elements were still there. So yeah, it's pretty much already confirmed that the spirits of the elements alone can be enough to defeat evil.
** [[spoiler:Confirmed, sort of. The Mane Cast don't do it, but Cadence and Shining Armor manage to repeat what was used to defeat the Windigos in order to put down Chrysalis and her swarm.]]
[[WMG: Discord's origins will be revealed.]]
And it will turn out he was originally a being with little power at all, until a source gave him Reality Warping abilities [[FromNobodyToNightmare turning him into who he is today]].
* This troper came up with the idea that Discord was created by a combination of the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E13HearthsWarmingEve Windigos]], beginning to starve from the new-found Harmony between Pony-kind, and whatever it was that made Nightmare Moon.
[[WMG:The Fire of Friendship will serve many roles later in the series]]
* The beacon will be transported in a torch and later re-lit as the full beacon in the Equestrian version of the Olympics.
* The beacon will be a source of power for the six when the Elements of Harmony fail them somehow.
[[WMG: After Friendship is Magic gets its series finale, there will be a sequel series.]]
Possibly featuring the offspring of the FIM cast as the new main characters, maybe even some characters related to side characters like Zecora or even Derpy. Like ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', it would place the characters in a different situation to avoid repeating the events of the first show, perhaps having the characters travel all over Equestria or even the world to do research. It might even have an overarching storyline as opposed to "slice of life" episodes that are dominant in FIM.
* A possibility: The offsprings are meant to wield the Elements of Harmony... But unlike their parents, will have to develop to fit into their roles.
** That would be pretty cool.
*** "Pretty cool?" This is the best idea ever!
*** Seconded! I WANT!...And now I will try my hand at this as a fanfic! To my writing program!
[[WMG: Each character will get a solo ImageSong this season]]
Rarity's already had "Becoming Popular", which works as one for her. "Smile, Smile, Smile" is one for Pinkie Pie. WordOfGod has already confirmed Twilight will (or was going to) get a solo song as well, which would be hers. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Applejack will get there's at other points.
[[WMG: We'll get a nod to the [[CrossOver myriad crossovers]] the fandom has produced. [[RuleOfFunny Especially]] [[RatedMForManly those with "macho" franchises.]]]]
Ideas are welcome and encourgaed.
* A [[ModernWarfare MW3]] parody, perhaps? The villain of the day could even be a [[EverythingsWorseWithBears huge bear]] voiced by none other than Roman Varshavsky! (Varshavsky voiced [[BigBad Makarov]] in the games).
[[WMG: The show will end or will begin its last arc of episodes with someone's death]]
Because what better way to end a quest to report findings on friendship than by having a report of what happens when the friendship meets an untimely end?
* This could however result in [[DarkerandEdgier a higher age rating]] since [[NeverSayDie actual death is rarely shown nor mentioned in kid's shows]].
[[WMG: Lyra Heartstrings will get some screentime.]]
With all her appearances, a quite consistent haughty personality, and even spoken lines, Bon Bon is all but a borderline secondary character at this point in the season; time for Lyra to get some characterization.
* Lyra gets plenty of screentime... [[FunnyBackgroundEvent in the background]]! [[CompletelyMissingThePoint What]]?
[[WMG: DJ PON-3/Vinyl Scratch will be named and/or speak.]]
To make it up to those fans who are still upset about the Derpy incident, DJ PON-3 will get a similarly-focused scene. Nobody could be offended by DJ PON-3 right?
* [[UnpleasableFanbase "They mispronounced her name!"]]
[[WMG: Season 3 will be the last season and will only make 13 episodes.]]
I just realized: 26+26+13=65
AKA: The limit of most kids shows... for the love of Celestia! Tell me I'm wrong!
* I don't know. This troper would prefer a short run to a long run that JumpsTheShark.
** This [[OtakuKun troper]] would prefer a long run that doesn't JumpTheShark.
** Technically, this limit is mostly imposed by Disney, which doesn't own the MLP line.
[[WMG:The series finale will TorchTheFranchiseAndRun.]]
* They will do this to ensure the G4 characters will not be corrupted with SeasonalRot and, should a new series be made, will force the creation of a fresh generation.
[[WMG:If a BigDamnMovie comes out, there will be a remixed version of the Extended version of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4By8YHOnILo the sing-along]] on the DVD.]]
To punctuate a particularly [[AwesomeMoment incredibly cool and amazing]] moment.
[[WMG: If a movie comes out, it will [[AlternateContinuity be an alternate version of]] ''Return of Harmony''.]]
Retelling the events of ''Return of Harmony'' to make up for what seemed like rushed storytelling and/or lost potential in the original episode.
* Maybe in the same fashion as the {{Rebuild of Evangelion}} movies; just like the original episode but [[TookaLevelinBadass with new story elements]].
** For example, we might get an extended ending with [[BigDamnVillains Discord actually making a last stand]] since he wasn't able to in the original episode. Maybe even [[BigDamnHeroes Princess Luna enters the fray]] [[HeroicSacrifice to help the Mane 6 put him back on a pedestal!]]
[[WMG: There will be an episode about the Other Mane 6 (Derpy,DJPon-3,and other backround ponies).]]
[[WMG: Only Changelings are supposed to be able to use the power of love]]
That's why Chrysalis is surprised. Maybe Shining Armor is/can use a small amount of changeling power.
* His changeling might allow him to become [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Shining Armor, Super Mode and maybe upgrade into Burning Armor]]. Twilight also has changeling powers and used them once to turn into [[{{Pokemon}} Rapidash]]
[[WMG: Compared to the past two seasons, the third season will have a noticeable decrease in [[YouALLLookFamiliar background pony clones]]...]]
...implying that changelings really ''were'' lurking in previous episodes.
[[WMG: The Third Season might never actually come.]]
If worse comes to worst, Hasbro might eventually get tired of [[FanDumb bronies arguing and fighting each other]] (e.g. "Derpy Drama") that they cancel the show giving them nothing. They might make a mediocre CGI movie though. Regardless, if we're not careful, the My Little Pony we all know and love right now could eventually be Ruined Forever.
[[WMG: All the villains will return...]]
...[[LegionOfDoom But working together]], putting aside each other's petty differences in either an attempt to steal Equestria and the world, or just general revenge against the Mane Cast, with the Changeling Army functioning as mooks for the villains.
[[WMG: There will be a story arc that isn't restricted to two episodes.]]
And the story arc will have the Mane Cast travel across Equestria to teach other villages or species AnAesop, separated from each other, all because they're either dealing with a brand new threat, or [[LegionOfDoom all of the previous threats]].
[[WMG: The Four horses of the Apocalypse will appear]]
Pestilence, War, Famine and Death (With Death’s name changed, this is a kid’s show after all) Will show up for some reason. Most likely as major villains. After all, these horses are supposed to signal the end of times, and what better finale than to save all life on whatever planet equestria is on?
[[WMG: Derpy's next speaking roll]]
Will be ordering muffins from Suger Cube Corner and will go like this:
Mrs Cake: Hello Derpy what can I get for you today?
Derpy: I'll have my ususal
Mrs Cake: Two Dusen assorted muffins coming up
[[WMG: A future BigBad will be beaten using [[TheFourLoves Storge and Agape]] Love]]
The show ''is'' Phileo Love, Eros Love was used to defeat Chrysalis. Perhaps another villain will be defeated another type of love.
Possibilities (Please, add your own):
* Spike and Twilight's Brother/Sister Love for one another.
** Manifests: In some kind of [[KillItWithFire Fire Spell]], probably green.
* Celestia's unconditional love for her subjects.
** Manifests: ???
* Twilight, Shining Armor, and their Parents' familial love.
** Manifests: In a ''gigantic'' explosion of magic.
* Twilight's love for and/or faith in every living creature in Equestria as well as everypony's faith in Twilight
** Manifests: An almighty CombinedEnergyAttack
[[WMG: Connecting to the above, the final BigBad will be defeated by all of TheFourLoves together]]
The Mane Cast using the Elements, Shining Armor and Cadence using their love for each other, Celestia and Luna using the love for their people, and...someone using family love, possibly the rest of the Apples.
* Complete with a truly epic ThemeMusicPowerUp!
[[WMG: The "Crystal Empire" is a plot element in Season 3, either as a the premiere episode or Season Finale]]
Some upcoming toys are tagged as part of a [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/05/more-pony-packs-wings-and-scooters.html "Crystal Empire" set.]] “Welcome to the Crystal Empire, a magical place full of hidden secrets! The ponies shine and sparkle here!” Now, they made an entire toyline set for the Royal Wedding, so it makes sense they may repeat the formula. Also, much like the Royal Wedding the actual Crystal Empire episode(s?) will be much DarkerAndEdgier than the toys would have you believe. After all, its full of hidden secrets!
* [[http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,300761.msg268697.html#msg268697 "Princess Celestia and Princess Luna believe that Princess Cadance will bring happiness to the Crystal Empire!"]]
* [[https://twitter.com/M_A_Larson/status/220769694150434818 It's looking likely]] that this Crystal Empire is indeed a Season 3 thing.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDiIYb7g43g&t=6m50s At about 6:50 in this interview with a Hasbro worker]], according to her she's not allowed to tell anyone about it, but mentions that the studio where the show is made requested them not to. That pretty much can be translated into, "Yeah, this Crystal Empire stuff is indeed in the actual show, but we just made the toys and are not aloud to talk about it yet."
[[WMG: Next season's major villains will all have a theme]]
This season was {{Emotion Eater}}s, Discord off of disharmony between ponies, the Windigos off the PowerOfHate, and the Changelings off the PowerOfLove. If the Flim Flam Brothers and the teenaged dragons are included, then the theme was [ManipulativeBastard manipulative villains]] (Flim Flam Brothers manipulated the entire town and the Apples, and it's pretty obvious that the teenage dragons were manipulating Spike into joining their gang to use him as phoenix bait). First season only had one major villain, Nightmare Moon, but pride and jealousy was the theme behind every villain that season, Gilda seems at least partly driven by jealousy over Pinkie being Rainbow's friend, Trixie was prideful, and Nightmare Moon was jealous of her sister. The next season will have it's own theme when it comes to villains.
[[WMG: Season 3 will introduce another mode of transportation (and add it to the opening sequence)]]
Twilight Sparkle's Twinkling Balloon has been there since Season 1, and Season 2 brought the Friendship Express Train.
* And it will be an Airship.
[[WMG: Trixie will return, and be given redemption.]]
Why wouldn't she? I'm sick of people painting her as a destined villain. I want her to be forgiven, and part ways with the Mane 6 under kinder terms.
[[WMG: [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E20ItsAboutTime Twilight Sparkle will get a really cool birthday present.]]]]
Perhaps even in an episode that airs in 2013.
[[WMG: Rarity and Sweetie Belle's parents will have one or more speaking roles in Season 3.]]
They're the only characters listed in [[http://imgur.com/egRde this email]] who haven't appeared in more than one episode...yet.
[[WMG: Applejack will be removed from the mane cast at some point in season three]]
The writers don't seem to know what to do with her character, and in almost all the (Very few) episodes she gets the spotlight in, she ends up being overshadowed by somepony else. So, they will either [[KilledOffForReal kill her off]] (Unlikely due to the nature of the show), or [[PutOnABus put her on a bus.]] She may reappear at times or get a few mentions (i.e Rainbow Dash checking her mail and getting a letter from 'Jack) , but her role in the show will be drastically reduced. Methods by which she may be killed off/ put on a bus (Feel free to add more):
* Performs a HeroicSacrifice to save the others.
* Gets a [[DroppedABridgeOnHim bridge dropped on her]] [[TheWorfEffect to show how tough the main villain of the season opener is.]]
* Moves to Appleossa.
[[WMG: If the above WMG proves to be correct, Applejack's replacement will be...]]
* Cheerilee
* Braeburn
* Trixie
[[WMG: Season 3's first cold opening will involve [[VileVillainSaccharineShow an extremely intimidating villain]] being introduced...]]
...but in the very next scene, [[CurbStompBattle Celestia swoops in and handily (hoofily?) takes care of his/her mess.]] The episode, a two-parter like the other season openers, then goes on to be a DayInTheLimelight for Celestia, in which we delve into the history of how she and Luna came to power.
[[WMG: Twilight will become BrainwashedAndCrazy by the next BigBad.]]
And only her friends will be able to change her back to normal.
[[WMG: Rarity will fall for Fancy Pants]]
She'll do her best to gently put Spike down, as the episode will be about how a first crush won't ever be the first crush you'll have.
[[WMG: Twilight will become a [[SpotlightStealingSquad Spotlight Stealer]] in Season 3.]]
The writers will realize that they didn't give Twilight enough focus episodes in Season 2 and will try to make up for that by making most of the episodes in Season 3 center around her.
[[WMG: Season three's intro will be an english translated version of the Italian intro]]
It's obvious. Season 2 had a remix of the Season 1 theme song, so we will get an english version of the Italian intro.
[[WMG: Alternatively, Season three will have an all-new theme song]]
[[WMG: Rarity and Spike will get married in the series finale]]
Tell me I'm not the only one who thinks this. It's been made pretty damn obvious by now that Rarity has officially fallen for Spike, especially in Secret of my Excess. And it's only fitting for them to get married in the series finale, since, well, doing it in the middle of the series would screw up the plotline. The episode will end with the news of a baby that happens to be the first ever hybrid of a pony and a dragon.
[[WMG: There will be an episode in which Apple Bloom finds a very special somepony.]]
The episode will be titled [[JustForPun Bloom is in Love]].
[[WMG: If Discord does return, he'll try to eliminate Twilight.]]
Obviously, he'll want to get rid of the very pony who foiled him last time. He will believe that since Twilight holds the strongest element of the Elements of Harmony, with her out of the way, nothing will stop him, not even the other 5 holders.
[[WMG: An ex-wielder of an Element of Harmony will return....]]
[[FallenHero But as a villain. ]]
* [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E1MareInTheMoon Again?]]
** Soooo... Confirmed?
** I know. Luna was the Element of Loyalty, Discord the Element of Laughter and Chrysalis the Element of Honesty. There is still room for two more original wielders turned evil. Poor Celestia lost all her friends.
[[WMG: In the episode Discord returns in, he will have a song]]
[[VillainSong And it will be awesome]].
[[WMG: The show will have a GainaxEnding]]
[[WMG: If the Crystal Kingdom is a big role in season 2, then the BigBad will be a MythologyGag to either Lavan or Porcina]]
The show loves its mythology gags, and both those villains would fit such a place.
[[WMG: Queen Chrysalis will become a recurring villain.]]
[[WMG: Trixie will return seeking vengeance...]]
[[PickOnSomeoneYourOwnSize On Snips & Snail]]s, because they're the ones that brought the Ursa Minor to town. Depending on what they say to her, she might end up going after Spike as well.
[[WMG: An episode will focus on the Apples trying to modernize the orchard.]]
Both seasons have had an episode where all of their hard work just plain didn't cut it. The third season will have an episode where Applejack tries to prevent that from being an issue.
[[WMG: [[MisterSeahorse Shining Armor]] is pregnant.]]
By [[FaceFullOfAlienWingWong Queen Chrysalis]]. The episode will consist of finding a way to abort the pregnancy [[ChestBurster before it's too late]]. Hey, she has some other insect-like features, so why not that one?
[[WMG: It will turn out Fluttershy has had a husband and children all along.]]
At some point during season 3, just around the time when the new "Fluttershy and the family" playset will hit the shelves, we will suddenly discover that Fluttershy is actually married and has two sons, the rest of the cast will act like they knew it all the time, and Fluttershy will start singing a diabetes tasting song about how much she loves her family, with flashbacks revealing that whenever there was a scene inside of her cottage, her family was always in the next room. Then the fandom will go dawww about what a great wife and mother Fluttershy is.
