Or maybe they'd be good with potions and stuff, like Zecora, and their evil plan would revolve around that. Maybe they'd be physically strong enough to resist Twilight's magic and take her head-on? Something that would really show off an earth pony at full magic potential.

A powerful geomancer would be cool. Like his connection to the earth is so strong he can sprout volcanoes and stuff.

That would be awesome and I want to see this character. Would he or she be a villain or neutral?

She could punch a mountain so hard the massive pressure would result in a massive heat buildup turning rocks molten.

In short, yes.

I think we've got a new pony meme. :amazing:


On a sour note: Some fans are mad over that giant RD statue because it appears to be based off of KP-ShadowSquirrel's model. Already throwing hate at Hasbro for doing it when it could be something the store had made. :unenthused:

It could have been made by someone who gave it to the store. Also, what's that one other minor detail, that very small one that people seem to forget all the time... That Hasbro owns every single My Little Pony character and have the right to take something that was essentially stolen from them in the first place anyway? With all the people who put "I do not own these characters" in the description of their fanart, I don't think that's really quite clicked in yet. :-I

Though I still personally believe Hasbro was not involved with this statue, because don't they already have their own models? With all the impressive things people have done as fanwork, I think it's entirely possible someone at the store did it. If it was Hasbro, why hasn't it showed up anywhere else?

Speaking of weird comparisions, I'd like to think that Pinkie is the Superman of Equestria. Think about it, she grew up on an isolated farm in the middle of nowhere, had a hard upbringing, is capable of doing things no other pony can do and amazes everyone with her skills...all we need is a Fortress of Fun and Surprise speaking to her via hologram.

"Live as though you are one of them, to discover your special strengths and talents. They can be a good race, Pinkie, they wish to be. All they lack is the light to show them the way. That is why I have sent you... my only daughter."

If we're going with pony Superheroes, Rarity should be Green Lantern like she was in Power Ponies. Essentially, the power of creativity. :vogue:

Also, what she was doing in Inspiration Manifestation reminded me of this. :-I

Hasbro owns the characters but that doesn't mean they automatically own anything that uses the characters. They can tell artists to cease and desist using the characters without permission, but they can't freely usurp someone else's creation like you describe.

Yes, but what if the hypothetical new network tries to force changes on the show and starts tampering with it? I really hope the Hub doesn't die...I want this show to last at least 3 more seasons.

Whoa there woeful. No reason to fear, we know the HUB will still be around for another year, we have MLP season 5, & Robots in Disguise airing on the HUB in 2015. Even if they do rebrand on 2016, that doesn't mean they won't still air MLP, TF, & LPS.

No need for gloom n Doom, just yet. Wait till next summer, then we can decide weather to panic or not. :twiright:

Hasbro still owns FiM and could still keep it going even after the death or rebranding of the Hub. That article mentioned something about Hasbro continuing to fulfill a contractual obligation, indicating that both they and Discovery agreed to chip in a set amount of programming for the Hub for some amount of time. Obviously none of us know the exact terms or duration of that contract, but if Hasbro needs to keep supplying shows for that channel, might as well keep producing FiM.

Yeah. Even if they do rebrand to "Discovery Family" in 2016 or whatever that doesn't mean MLP or Transofrmers will leave the network.

Also on a random note, Since Hub likes to pride itself on making family fun,I would totally reccomend they pick up the rights to air reruns of Wishbone. *seriously I loved that show as a kid*. Oh & Reading Rainbow.

Didn't the person who created Reading Rainbow revive the show? Maybe The Hub can pick it up for distribution.

Well, that's it. The Hub will go down as a failed experiment, Discovery will run the network into the ground like they did with Discovery Kids, and all the Hasbro shows will have to go to CN or Nick, where they will be ignored, shuffled around the schedule, and ultimately unceremoniously cancelled in favor of complete crap.

MLP is over after Season 5, assuming they even last that long. They could just as easily rebrand the network and cancel everything. Just because something is announced does not mean it has to be released.

Not quite. Rights to the show are not held by the people behind the campaign. The Kickstarter is for extending the reach of the Reading Rainbow app to other mobile devices and the web.

Cue Pinkie tackle-hugging everyone. :gotcha:

The other alternative is that it dies like The Simpsons, yet remains on the air. I'd rather have that than have FiM get killed prematurely, but still.

I hope FiM doesn't just keep going until there's nothing left, agreed. On the other hand, I hope that when it does end they have enough advanced warning to finish off any loose ends (CMC cutie marks? RD finding her place with/without the wonderbolts? stuff like that) and give the series the ending it deserves.

That's why I'm worried about FiM's current state. With the way S4 ended, it felt like it could've been a series finale but also still left things generally open for S5. If that sort of thing continues in S5 and any future seasons, I worry that that'll make the finales a bit bland. If Meghan McCarthy knows from the start that S5/6/7/X is the last season then at least she and everyone else will be able to plan a proper ending to the series.
