Line #1 Trivia/MyLittlePonyCamaraderieIsSupernatural


1	* AccidentalDownerEnding: An odd case, where its unfinished state left it with an ambiguous ending--then after its cancellation, a crossover with another series confirmed the worst possible ending, only for a second crossover episode to retcon it into a happier resolution.
2	** In ''Camaraderie Is Supernatural'' proper, there was a subplot where Doctor Whooves recruits Pinkie Pie to help save Equestria from a coming alien invasion. But the series was abandoned before the alien invasion even began, leaving the outcome of Whooves' and Pinkie's mission completely up in the air.
3	** Then in the ''WebVideo/ScootertrixTheAbridged'' episode "Trixie the Abridged", a magical accident teleports three FourthWallObserver characters into the ''Camaraderie'' universe--where Equestria is now a barren wasteland. Dialogue [[LampshadeHanging explicitly confirms]] that ''Camaraderie'''s premature end is the reason why Whooves and Pinkie failed to save their Equestria. But then during the [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover mega-crossover]] of ''Scootertrix: The Movie'', Pinkie Pie from ''Camaradarie'' shows up herself, none the worse for wear. When others are confused by her survival, she explains that she and Whooves did eventually (as in, after 492 failed attempts) repel the alien invasion and save Equestria -- and the barren wasteland from the previous episode was just one of the failed timelines, not the "main" Camaraderie universe.
4	* AbsurdlyShortProductionTime: [[https://twitter.com/cyberlink420/status/1393242878470725638 According to Cyberlink on Twitter,]] the first episode was completed in only a week. He started writing on March 24, and the voice work and editing were finished in time to upload on April 1. "I still don't know how we pulled it off."
5	* SerendipityWritesThePlot:
6	** A few of Mystic Pyro Freak's readings of Twilight's lines sounded a bit like Applejack, so the others suggested that she voice Applejack as well. Then, because Mystic Pyro Freak can't keep a consistent accent (by her own admission), she suggested the joke about Applejack's accent constantly changing.
7	** In the initial script, Cyberlink wrote Fluttershy as a loudmouthed and obnoxious character, only to decide that this particular joke really didn't work. He couldn't think of a good way to make fun of Fluttershy--so instead he made a [[BreakingTheFourthWall fourth-wall-breaking joke]] about being unable to bring himself to make fun of Fluttershy.
8	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
9	** The Sonic Paradox team almost didn't make this series at all. Their initial April Fools Day plan was just to redesign their main website as "Pony Paradox". Actually abridging a whole ''My Little Pony'' episode was a last-minute decision.
10	** [[https://twitter.com/cyberlink420/status/1393215175575187460 Sonic Paradox only planned for the series to cover the first season of MLP]] (and possibly a movie), with all their planned storylines coming to a head at the Gala.
11	** [[https://twitter.com/cyberlink420/status/1393225285517127681 Their first concept for a CIS movie]] was a full crossover with ''Sonic F'', which would have been completely animated in Source Filmmaker. The plot would have involved Dr. Eggman creating a portal to Equestria and conquering Ponyville with mind-controlling nanites (while the mane six, Spike, and Dr. Whooves were away and therefore not infected). It was ultimately scrapped for being "just too ambitious".
12	** [[https://twitter.com/cyberlink420/status/1393234859905196037 The second movie concept]] was their take on "The Return of Harmony" two-parter. Their version of Discord would be possessed by the spirit of [[Series/DoctorWho The Master]]. For the discorded versions of the mane six: "AJ's voice would become lifeless and monotone. Pinkie wouldn't acknowledge anything not right in front of her face. Rarity's reaction and response time would be way off. Shy would be loudmouthed and obnoxious. Dash would spout random unrelated pop culture references." Discord would then break Twilight by pointing out that the only element she had anymore was Faithfulness To The Source Material: "And if that's all you have, then that's not a parody at all, is it?" Since letters to Celestia weren't a thing in CIS, Twilight would be restored to normal by reading positive comments from fans of the show. Instead of getting petrified again, Discord would be banished to the real world; the final scene would be Discord awkwardly asking to crash on Cyberlink's couch.
13	** Trixie would have been a ponified version of [[Series/ArrestedDevelopment GOB Bluth]], and all of her dialogue would have been lines stolen from other abridged series. [[https://twitter.com/cyberlink420/status/1393219075812335619 "The episode moral would have been about the importance of originality, rather than just parroting jokes heard elsewhere."]]
14	** [[https://twitter.com/cyberlink420/status/1393238684397408258 Their version of the Sonic Rainboom episode]] was going to be about the effective use of music in a parody. It would have ended with Crush 40's cover of "Sonic Boom" playing over the Sonic Rainboom scene. "It synced PERFECTLY."
15	** [[https://twitter.com/cyberlink420/status/1393236581910188034 Other parody morals they had planned]] include "Don't try to force a specific character or gag to become a fan favorite" and "Trust your personal judgment and don't try to acquiesce to every fan demand."
16	** [[https://twitter.com/cyberlink420/status/1393239506527076357 "This was an unused stinger that would have been tacked onto a future episode. It still makes me laugh way harder than it probably should."]] (If the link doesn't work, it's a clip of Spike, synced to audio of [[WebAnimation/HomestarRunner Senor Cardgage]] saying [[Recap/StrongBadEmailE177Original "Oh, I should eat a pony..."]])
17	** [[https://twitter.com/cyberlink420/status/1393240690633715716 Cyberlink wrote a full English translation]] of the Italian FIM theme song, planning to use it as the series intro from episode 4 onward. He also wrote [[https://twitter.com/cyberlink420/status/1393241171418288138 a Pinkie-themed version of the Space Jam theme]].
18	** [[https://twitter.com/cyberlink420/status/1393249914797318145 The planned episode 4]] was to be "Cutie Mark Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood", their version of the mane six's cutie mark origin stories:
19	*** Young Applejack would have tried to become a pop star, with Aunt and Uncle Orange as her abusive managers. Their attempts to mold her into a perfect teen idol would culminate in violent shock therapy, giving AJ lasting brain damage, [[CerebusRetcon which would be the cause of her constantly changing accents]].
20	*** "Fluttershy's origin is more or less the same, with the added note that she becomes the straight man out of concern that overreaction will scare the animals and prevent her from approaching and helping them."
21	*** Young Rarity would have been pulled by her own magic through a bunch of visual gags and crossovers with other videos. In particular, she would have narrowly dodged the infamous thrown fire axe from ''WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay: VideoGame/SilentHillDownpour''. Upon arriving at her rock, she'd declare that nothing good could have possibly come from the trip, [[InstantlyProvenWrong at which point the Rainboom would split the rock and reveal the gems]], teaching Rarity the power of comic timing.
22	*** Young Twilight's freakout would be partially because she attempted a more elaborate spell for her entrance exam, rather than sticking to the book. When Celestia got Twilight back to normal, ("possibly by way of using a magic version of the [[Franchise/StreetFighter Raging Demon]] on Twilight"), Twilight would learn the importance of not going too far off-book. Then Celestia would accidentally introduce Twilight to alcohol.
23	*** When young Pinkie Pie looked at the Sonic Rainboom, she'd see beyond the fourth wall ("i.e. me reclining on the couch with a massive bag of chips and watching [=FiM=]"). Then she'd try to create a trans-dimensional portal of her own, which would explode and blast her entire family with enough dimensional energy to permanently let them see and interact with the fourth wall. Pinkie would love it, but [[GoMadFromTheRevelation the rest of her family would go insane]]. And the final punchline would be that none of this has anything to do with Pinkie's cutie mark, which actually represents her love of hot-air balloon racing.
24	*** When young Rainbow Dash made her first Sonic Rainboom, she would break through the dimensional barriers and briefly cross into the ''Sonic F'' universe, flying right by Sonic the Hedgehog himself. High levels of dimensional energy and close proximity to Sonic would slightly transform Dash, physically and mentally, to make her more like Sonic.
