Season Five wants · 6:53am Apr 5th, 2015
So, Season Five premiered today. Woohoo! It was awesome!
But it did leave me with a couple thoughts. Mostly stuff I really want to see in the upcoming season. Mostly unrealistic stuff. Mostly stuff that gets steadily weirder.
(Spoilers below, of course. If you want to read this now, you can watch Episodes 1 and 2 at watchcartoononline.com)
Okay, number one is Discord. I want a lot of screen time and jokes and gags, but more than anything else, I want him to be friendly with the Mane Six. I mean, it just annoys me how much Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity shut him out. Seriously, Twilight; as the Princess of Friendship, can't you at least BE FRIENDLY? I'm not asking for full-blown best-friendship (though that would be great) just not clear you-irritate-me-so-go-away every time Discord shows up.
Number two is Sunset Shimmer. I have to admit, Twilight was my favorite until Sunset Shimmer showed up and kicked Twilight's butt. I'd love to see Sunset in the main series.
Next is silly castle problems. I don't know why, but an episode full of angry officials waving building code violations and ponies yelling about the bright lights bouncing off the shiny castle into their eyes, and angry geese attacking the castle because it blocks their migration route, has great appeal to me.
Also, somepony pointing out the flaws in Starlight Glimmer's philosophy. Besides the obvious...how can you be totally equal if you still have the three tribes of ponies? How can you be equal if there are different genders? How can any of you survive if none of you have skill in cooking? How do you have houses if none of you have skill in building? What would you do if a pony showed up who had a coat the exact color of the equals cutie mark, make the mark hot pink?
Also...Starlight, where the heck did you find a stick like that? I want one!
