![-1 OliveBranchMLP[S] 7 points 1 month ago It seems so impossibly epic because, for all intents and purposes, it was impossibly epic. There would have been a major story shift for an entire season, and the themes that would have been approached would have made it more like an adventure series than a slice-of-life series. It would have had the I am Nick Ha, editor for the official "Bronies" documentary.

Lauren did have plans to expand the universe physically though I don't know enough details to know whether i lot of plans for mythology and history, which they seem intent on exploring a lot more in Season 4, though it differs. As for the overall mood... well, let's just say bits and pieces of Lauren's vision were just a tad bit darker than what we're getting now, to the point where she's not even sure Hasbro would have been okay with it. that s as gonn to no The most hilarious, depressing nail bits and pieces of it on the head. I can't say which do, because that would be telling, but it's kind of shocking how many people are on the right track Maybe someday I'll be able to tell them A Gargoyles-type scenario is quite likely. Lauren already spent a lot of time doing that on Twitter recently; she revealed a bunch of things that previously weren't known to the public, like the fact that Scootaloo's inability to fly would have played a major role in her character development. If Lauren isn't completely and utterly sick of ponies by the time the whole thing blows over scary part is how many no The Everfree Forest spreading and threatening Equestria's borders was something she had in mind from a long time ago, but it was supposed to be slow, mysterious, frightening, and a constant and growing threat to Equestria as the series went on, rather than a passing, spontaneous problem that was dealt with in like two episodes. Things like a silly camping trip are pretty implausible in the original vision; the Everfree would have bucked them sideways. Cadance wasn't supposed to be an alicorn. Becoming an alicorn is pretty damn hard Speaking of alicorns, Twilight was supposed to become Celestia's successor, and a lot of things would have changed, both politically and in regards to life for the Mane Six. No clue whether Meghan plans to take that same Our jimmies are eternal entirely possible she'll start revealing those details. A Full Metal Alchemist-style direction would be wonderful, and probably a have the best of both worlds. All thi t considering FMA alicorn a s present in Lauren's late-game conceptualizing, though its purpose and role in the series cons on chronological whereas MLP is mostly episodic. Certain events in Season 3 make it virtually impossible for Lauren's vision to be reconciled with Meghan's, unless they pull a reversal on some of the events. Lauren hints at it in the Elements of Harmony guidebook, where she mentions the following 3 things: that she generally doesn't like reforming villains, since some people stay evil forever that Trixie had the potenti an opposing "Elements of Discord". Make of that what you will o become a very significant villain; and that she had "toyed" with the idea of creating The possibility of Lauren's return is wishful thinking at best to distance itself from her legacy. Unless they have a change of heart--or unless Disney picks up Hasbro and make an executive decision to bring Lauren back on board, which in itself is going to happen s been doing as much in its power as possible None can rustle the Triumverate one theme seems to have been completely abandoned. Notice episodes like "Green Isn't Your Color", "The Best Night Ever, and "Sweet and Elite", and details like the Mane Six living in a farming backwater of Equestria. Now compare them to episodes like the wedding, Twilight's coronation, "Games Ponies Play, and "Equestria Girls" notice there is indulgence and outright celebration. Will it ever be addressed again in Meghan's canon? Who knows tark difference; where before there was a sort of contempt and mockery of high society culture, now would be very difficult to simply "set it back on its course". Given the option, I imagine the only ction would be to reboot the entire series and decanonize everything past the wedding. In respect to the current writers, I won't be revealing any major details about what Lauren was planning to have see appen, but the two storylines--Lauren's and Meghan's--can't be reconciled unless a lot of major things are 3b.) She never mentioned the Tree of Harmony when talking about her vision of the show. It could have been part won't assume permalink context full comments (124) I'm sure that the current creative team occasionally takes what little they probably know of Lauren's ultimate vision on working with what they have. Despite that, I'm sure they're very much excited for the opportunity to take the series in a direction that makes sense to them. The writers are very talented people, and a lot works is already looking very promising ince agic that Lauren had to leave the show, and it's quite difficult tching it while knowing what Lauren had ubmitted 8 months ago" by vetro ntended, but I have faith that the current writers will do a wonderful job stewarding the franchise moving forward permalink parent report give gold reply an: ac Dumbledore: Dies and returns in a dream Gandalf: Dies and resurrects Spike aptly demonstrates what I will do to you if you say "everypony" in public.

It's not hers anymore (and due to the nature of intellectual property, she never legally owned it to begin with). The entire pitch bible, as well as all major assets belonging to the Friendship is Magic property, is completely owned by Hasbro. Lauren literally has ZERO control over how the company chooses to monetize her work. There are no future story ideas that could get spoiled by the pitch bible, be the series won't happen anymore. As of the Season 3 finale, all story choices made are done without her consent or direction. Her storyline is no longer canon. Meghan is now in charge of all story developments Sometime in the future, Celestia and Luna will leave the picture (Edit: not necessarily death but some form of forced retirement) and Twilight will succeed them. This leaves Equestria with only two ruling alicorns like Faust originally I think that's the master plan. You heard it here first fference between permalink context full comments (50) And believe me, there's a VERY big difference between Faust canon and Meghan canon.
