How "Nightmare On Mare Street" SHOULD Have Gone

[@Princess_-gp3ep]

The biggest problem of my little pony: make your Mark is that it focuses way too much on the slice of life stories, and not giving enough time for the story arc and adventure.

[@LightningStripe25]

Yeah. As much as I love the story they’re doing, it feels way too rushed and short

[@Princess_-gp3ep]

@@LightningStripe25 not to mention that there’s still a lot of unsolved burning questions.

[@LightningStripe25]

@@Princess_-gp3ep on the bright side, that’s just more for me to (try to) solve!

@@LightningStripe25 at least the comic expanded on what happened to equestria many years after the events of g4.

5:28 A flawed as this show is, this would've been a nice cliffhanger for Chapter 6 as this show could've really used some tension. I imagine Misty slowly turning around and hyperventilating like when Puss in boots sees Lobo/death (quick scenes of her mistreatment flashing her mind). Opaline thinks she sees Misty, but she narrowly escapes. After arriving home and telling her friends she saw Opaline, the sky darkens with clouds and you can hear Opaline's laugh echoing. If anything, Misty should've been in constant fear ever since coming clean to Sunny's friends: she knows that when Opaline finds out she'll be furious and she'll have to face her sooner or later

I like your ideas to fix the episode! Tbh I also had way too many problems with the episode, it is easily my least favorite of the whole chapter, and one of them was how the Hitch plot was handled. Honestly, it wasn't even just the fact that the plot was completely forgotten, I think the plot was flawed from the start. If you ask me the citizens are the ones who should learn the lesson, by dismissing all of Hitch's hard work for the sake of getting an activity THEY could benefit something material from, and for seemingly being just as dismissive about Hitch's Nightmare Night ideas every year ('Cause we do see Hitch freak out as soon as he sees he's not generating any excitement...Granted, I think this is OOC, because in the movie it is portrayed that the citizens absolutely adore him and he's very well-aware of that fact, but whatever 😒)

Completely agree, It's like they threw away the idea of it being a Hitch episode and only remembered at the very end. Like i said, we need to actually see him learn a lesson

@@LightningStripe25 I don't mind the idea of the episode not explicitly being a Hitch episode-though he is given very little to do in Chapter 5-but I feel like it's weird to start the story with him and then have his plot have the least presence and be the least relevant.
