MLP Season 7 thread - Rares - 02-08-2017
Since S7 is confirmed for April now, I thought it'd be a nice idea to start a general for that. What are your thoughts and hopes for the season? What would you like to see? And when they're out, what did you think?
And in terms of what we know, William Shatner will be in it for real this time.
I'm hoping for another wonderful Rarity solo episode.
RE: Season 7 thread - whobawhats - 02-08-2017
Obviously hoping for more Glim Glam. I want to see her and at least one of the other m6 in some form of SoL episode that doesn't make her look bad. It's already a given she'll have another 2 parter dedicated to her, but I would really like to see the m6 be more involved in it. Even if that doesn't happen I'm still hyped. I think it will be good.
In addition to what Rares said, we also know that Nick Confalone, G.M. Berrow, and the Fox brothers are returning to write.

I'd like to see: I'm hoping, but certainly not expecting we'll see Sunset in Equestria. Of course, I've been hoping for that since the release of EQG, but maybe this time will be different. I'd also like to see the Changelings, including Chrysalis defeated once and for all, or else turned to the light side. Maybe, they'll do away with the map-quests, too, or have less of them, so we can get some more cozy slice of life episodes with the entire main cast.
And really, 7 seasons in, is it too much to ask for a darned Celestia episode?
I'd not like to see: Official shipping of any sort with the any member of the main cast. Any sort of pony-death. I know rumors are usually just rumors, but if they turned out to be right, and Cely died it would upset me a lot.
RE: Season 7 thread - Pacifist - 02-09-2017
I want more Rock Horse obvs.
Also more Tree Hugger. I like Hippie Horse.
And an episode with reformed Diamond Tiara in the forefront.
Also, a Celestia episode. Please.

One of these would be a great idea.

We can hope, right?
RE: Season 7 thread - 7bloom - 02-13-2017
For Apple Bloom, I'd like for her to get appearances and roles that are at least secondary, throughout. I don't want to go 6+ episodes in a row without seeing her again, when there's plenty of plots that she could have fit well into in at least a minor way. The buckball episode, for example: It was important to the Apple family, and school was out. It made no sense for her not to have any appearance. So that's my main deal; more minor roles, to let her exist outside of CMC things.
Next, it probably isn't worth worrying about anymore, but I hope nothing and nobody is introduced to give me the kind of awful dread I felt through last year because of a tap-dancer. I hope she gets one episode about her and her feelings again (I love all of her episodes), and I very much hope for her to get some positive interaction with her family. That's something I really missed last year.
For the season in all, I'd like to feel like the characters really care about each-other. It was too often last year that they felt like props and tools for the cruel plots and I didn't like it. Just have more niceness and less conflict-driven episodes where unpleasant stuff takes up 80% of the time. People who defend everything in the show often use "cute ponies doing cute things" to say it's all fine confuse me, because I know I'd love it if it was "cute ponies doing cute things" and not mostly unkind and loveless things.
I want both Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo to get a focus episode each, too. Sweetie certainly deserves an episode that's not about tension in her relationship with Rarity, and more about positive traits of hers, and Scootaloo should get something cute, too, after all the feels stuff surrounding her.

And as she is part of the Apple family, I think you're fortunate enough to be in the best situation for outside CMC things.

If you get what I mean.
Quote: Sweetie certainly deserves an episode that's not about tension in her relationship with RarityOh that'd certainly be welcomed by me.

I agree with everything you said here. Especially this:

Less conflict, more cuteness, focus on the characters we know and stop sending them to all corners of the place to suffer stressful, antagonistic problems, involving characters we've never seen before. Stop writing them out of character for the sake of plot convenience, and be nice to them.
Furthermore I think Celestia should have an episode.
RE: MLP Season 7 thread - whobawhats - 02-17-2017
Well looks like we got some more s7 news today.
Glim Glam is getting more episodes(if there was any doubt), and there may even be a possible Celestia episode!
I'm hyped!!
