people will go, if the brony fandom ever goes pop, you should go here, or etc.
to be honest, as silly and petty as it sounds, even with the plot or characters being good. It would be hard for me because It's usually doesn't involve horses or an appealing art-style.
maybe if it was in an appealing art style and was birds or reptiles... but yeah, finding a show that you could say is basically MLP:FIM but with birds or scalies is probably unlikely for a long LONG while.
hell, just the notion of finding another show where the cast is 9 girls and one boy and is not just another ICarly or Sex in the City and actually made to be enjoyed by both genders is too much to ask for from most western TV it seems...

Hell, I'm not even worried about this thing: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/.....med-rumor.html
and to be honest about the Equestia Girls thing, I'm curious how that's going to turn out. maybe it could at least ground things a bit.
what I was worried about is how much the new twilight form would change the over all feel and mood of the series. to be honest, I like the idea of twilight being a normal pony a lot more, seeing how she is more relatable that ways. making her royalty and a super-powered being just feels like they are forcing her to be the focus of the series and in the front, in the process, really pushing her friends back. it would make her problems way trump out her friends and make her presences in general really distracting. why would royalty be left to fend for herself, by herself, in a small, unprotected, town filled with common folk who went gaga at the mere sight of Fluttershy when she was a model. They seem to make it a big deal whenever Celestia or Luna come in, and in the last ep, we saw the new character go shaky legs around shining armor with a "oh I've never been around a prince before." Wouldn't Twi start getting the same effect if she where to wonder into Ponyvile with wings and a princess tiara?
there was a rumor going around that she was going to be the princess of harmony and the elements where going to disappear and her friends would no longer be holders of them, which I hope was just a load of BS. that would make the rest of the cast completely redundant, it would imply that twilight now has all the elements in her, making her this perfect being that has the positives of all the characters. I personally find that awful because the negative aspects to her personality is what made her what she is.
Again, looking over both those writers credits, they both should have thought about those things above seeing how they tied into episodes they both have written. I also don't see why this would be good for Hasbro in the long run ether. they would have to discontinue there old twilight toys and merch and try and replace them with newer ones, which wouldn't sell as well because people would only need to buy the new set once to get the new twilight and not the rest. it would also be more expensive to produce the new twilight model in general simply because of the larger model and more plastic involved. It also wouldn't help any of the side projects like the games that Hasbro are rumored to be making or the social game they have up. the comics would have to shoehorn the change in way later when they are done with there ark, which would be pretty inconvenient. The change also seems to contradict the whole Equestia Girls spin-off and other planned toys like the MLP thumb-drives and new Vinyl toy that haven't even been released yet. I also saw amongst the toys being shown off at the resent toy fair where they where showing off the new princess Twi toy, There didn't seem to be any other princess Twi toys and in fact, all I saw was a backpack and/or lunchbox that had normal Twi on it, of course, that could just be bad memory and it would have been screen caps from something else, but still.
