I would include backstory for important characters in the FiM show. How did Discord come to be? Who are the two sisters' parents? What does Starlight Glimmer's cutie mark mean? How did Cadance become an alicorn (addressed in a book but never on the show)I would not have made Celestia and Luna retire. In my opinion, Twilight Sparkle should be princess of friendship not princess of everything.I would cut out every single ship tease for Fluttercord.
One thing I’ve never understood about Queen Chrysalis is the fact that whenever she wanted revenge she focused all her efforts on Starlight Glimmer and completely overlooked Thorax. Thorax was just as much a part of defeating Chrysalis as Starlight was and Chrysalis even said he was a traitor in her eyes. I would have loved an episode where Chrysalis challenged Thorax.
Thinking about the movie...I think the movie was too spread out to be worthwhile. I don't mind it focusing on a few ponies. Baby Lickety Split's arc could have been more meaningful if we could start off with a few instances of her messing up in various areas building up frustration, with people comparing her to another pony, say...Baby Crumpet? That sounds good. Perhaps have something hinting towards the Smooze early on, such as BLS learning about it in school or something. She can ruin the show as normal with Spike in tow, and then leaves. Baby Crumpet is praised for her performance meanwhile. Maybe Baby Crumpet does something innocent but it starts a domino effect that leads to the Smooze being unleashed.

SpoilerThorax is not a very confrontational guy, as we can see by his hestitation to return to the hive when Chrysalis captured the mane 6+princesses and everyone knew the only way to get them out was to go into the hive. Chrysalis clearly knew he had left previously, but had deduced that he was too cowardly to overturn the hive. Starlight Glimmer took on a lead role in that adventure and instructed Thorax to give Chrysalis all of his love and share, and her speech (not Thorax's, unless I'm misremembering) was the one to motivate the other changelings to transform and become docile. Due to her leader role, I could completely understand Chrysalis pushing Thorax aside. It doesn't even seem like she wants her hive back, it just seems like at the end of the series she was after revenge. I do think an episode where Chrysalis and Thorax go head to head. It would be cooler if half of the changelings turned good and the other half turn bad, but now we're setting up a war season.
