Season 6 Episode Discussion [Speculation/Theories/Beware of Spoilers]

How would Garble get redeemed?

@Background Pony #BD3C
 
When he stops being a bad stereotype.

What backstory could they use?

@Background Pony #BD3C  
Nothing too complicated, I think.

I hope we get to see more of Rainbow Dad.
 
He talks about how he would have been in the Wonderbolts if it weren’t for his bad knee.

A Trixie, Moondancer, and Starlight interaction.

@Jades  
I never got that. What were him and the other dragons supposed to be a stereotype of?
 
Season 6 wish: Dragon Quest Redux

@Yoga is boring
 
Sociopathic teenage boys. They were already pushing it really hard in the episode anyways.

What would you say are the chances of an all-males episode?

@Jades  
Yea, but weren’t those 3 colts who raced Rainbow Dash when she got her cutie mark like that towards Fluttershy the same way the dragons were like towards Spike. Why were the dragons so much worse?

@Yoga is boring
 
I think people don’t complain that much about them because they were more of a plot device than anything else. Plus they didn’t get alot of screen time.

@Jades  
And didn’t do much more than tease and then get shown up.
 
@Background Pony #BD3C  
Also, I’d say very low.

Why is that?

@Background Pony #BD3C  
Just doesn’t sound like something the crew could get away with.
 
They focus on chicks for a reason.

Could such an episode work?

@Background Pony #BD3C  
Nice idea, but there are only a handful of males to pick from and I doubt that they could carry an episode even collectively unless they do a Slice of Life vignette style episode.

Do you think the males could get more development?

@Background Pony #BD3C  
Depends.
 
There aren’t many influential or important enough to risk it.

Would you say that the females are shown as superior to the males?

@Background Pony #BD3C  
Officially, no.
 
Like I said, there’s not alot of prominent guys with which to make a good comparison.
 
Nor do I think the show could handle trying to make one.

What if in Equestria, mares are the breadwinners?

@Background Pony #BD3C  
Not a hard sell.

Would you say that’s the case?

@Background Pony #BD3C  
I couldn’t tell ya.
 
I could headcanon that, but it would be just a guess.

@PonyPon  
It does make for a good premise however.  
S6 Ep. Idea:  
The Mane 6 throw a baby shower for Cadence so Shining and a few of his guy friends go on a wild, funny and heartwarming adventure together.  
Starring:  
Shining Armor as the straight laced stiff learning to have some fun
 
Big Mac as the strong silent type learning to find his voice
 
Spike the Dragon as the sarcastic wisecracker who learns to be honest with how he really feels
 
Flash Sentry as the lovestruck guy stuck between following his heart and not trying to step on any hooves by asking out his friend/boss’s sister.
 
And finally  
Soarin as the famous celebrity trying to deal with the pressures of fame.
