Predictions Thread (maybe spoilers?)

I don't know...

This is simply a thread to post predictions about future MLP movies and/or episodes.
 
For example: Returning villians, CMC cutie marks, etc…
 
I just wanted to make this thread to have fun and your predictions can be about anything.

I have a rather specific one. The “Starlight Glimmer goes back in time” rumor is already cool and all, but check this out: this is the last thing Twilight says to Starlight.
 
Each of my friends has taught me something different about myself! It was their unique gifts and passions and personalities that helped bring out the magic inside of me! I never would have learned that I represent the element of magic without these five! And I certainly wouldn’t be here to stop you now!
 
I predict that she got the time travel idea from Twilight! Twilight’s lecture on the Sonic Rainboom will be what gives Starlight the exact moment she needs to alter to prevent Twilight from ever going down the path that leads to the Elements, the Tree of Harmony, the Map and ultimately Starlight’s village.
 
As for how she pulls this off, well Dr. Hooves found out about Twilight’s use of Starswirl’s time spell somehow, could this have been deliberate foreshadowing by Larson? Only time will tell (hehe, time).

The CMC will never figure out what their special talents are and only get unrelated cutie marks as a result of a cosmic retcon.

It would be pretty ironic if preventing the Sonic Rainboom somehow led to an alternate timeline where the CMC got their marks much earlier. (Maybe if Rainbow hadn’t told Applebloom to “try all the things!”…)

They’ll be getting the cutie marks they have in >>134110. Apple Bloom’s I can forgive for family reasons, though it’s still a stupid choice, but the other two recycling their G3 cutie marks is inexcusable. Glamourkat obviously has too much power.

Here’s my theory which is mildly related to yours about a trip back in time.

If you look at the Tree of Harmony, you’ll see crystals dangling from strings.

Okay, I guess.
@I don’t know…  
It’s not so difficult to guess when you stop and analyze some facts being thrown around:
 
  • Slice of Life made Doctor Whooves a canon character, who had lived for hundreds of years and was about to create a way to make time come forward him.
     
  • This episode was confirmed as being 100% part of FiM’s canon.
     
  • So basically we have an absurdly popular character being able to time travel using non magical means, and so being able to ignore time traveling counter spells and such.
     
    Hell, the same episode also made canon that he shared that secret with Derpy, who’s not even shocked by the reveal of having a friend ancient as dirt and being able to use science to time travel at will- that’s a bit too much of a gamebreaker combo to being used as a simple throwaway gag, so having one of the most fan favorite couples pop out from nowhere to help Twilight at the end of S05 is an idea that holds considerable weight.

Makes sense, being a “Twilight Clone” like Sunset, which is her replacement in EQG, Starlight would be her replacement in Equestria. As much as the “Twihards” repeat ad nauseam that becoming a princess didn’t change ANYTHING, the truth remains that as time goes on, the ways to write Twilight out of stories in order to still provide a believable challenge are growing thin. The quality of comics has tanked due to their failure to adapt to the issue, while S4 showed that simply ignoring it wouldn’t work. The Cutie Map has given the show a crutch to support itself with, but it won’t last forever, at some point they’ll have to break the mold again.
 
As much as I hated it at first, the idea of Starlight Glimmer becoming part of the Mane 6 is becoming more and more like interesting. It would keep things fresh while finally unshackling writers from “The Twilight Issue”.

Wow! Glimmer
@Poison Trail  
Except Starlight has zero redeeming traits as a character and is about the worst possible choice you could make for replacing Twilight. Aside from her looks (and her apparently “sexy” voice), Starlight has nothing going for her. She wasn’t even all that entertaining of a villain; sure, she was an effective villain, but she wasn’t fun to watch like Discord or even Chrysalis (another irredeemable villain this fandom cuts too much slack for because she’s “sexy”). I’d much rather have a character like Moondancer replace Twilight than a character like Glimmer.
