Description
An observation courtesy of /mlp/. It looks like someone at Hasbro completely missed the point of Faust’s character choices and ended up making changes that send the message that your race determines what kind of person you are.
Pegasi, Competitive and driven or relaxed and fun loving.
Unicorn-Royal and elegant or demure and meek.
Earth Pony-Strength in body or strength in mind.
Reminder, these characters are created by staff members who HELPED CREATE THE MANE SIX WITH FAUST lol.
If we could upvote comments this’d definitely get my vote.
Oh it’s almost like language is flexible and you can make anything say anything.
Aside from Episode 6. That section was blank for some reason, even though the Writer name was there.
Didn’t even have a Title.
Edited
Is that everything leaked so far?
Edited
Hope that is the case.
Honestly though, the Movie was rather disappointing to me.
And That’s another problem.
@Frustration in Excelsis
Thanks.
Edited
I have no idea if those transcripts are fake or not, but could you please put them under a spoiler rather than leaving them for everyone to see whether they wish to be spoiled or not? That would be very kind.
@Surprise
Moreover, I believe the G5 leaks were still mostly rough drafts, concept exploration and early worldbuilding – in other words, still very early attempts at working out what G5 could be about. I doubt they will match up very thoroughly with the finished product – even G4’s pitch bible had very little in common with the finished show.
@Starswirl
No. Zecora’s the only one seen or mentioned in the show.
Did we see more zebras than Zecora? I don’t recall.
Fluttershy and Pinkie were Originally supposed to be Earth and Pegasus Ponies. They were changed for Reasons described in the description of This Picture, and I can see Why Lauren did So. Pinkie has always Been Scatterbrained and Energetic, wether as Surprise or as Pinkie Pie, and lumping her in the same dynamic as Rainbow Dash, whose name tells its own story, kinda makes a Problem.
And we have too much media that goes on about ‘The Dantiness of unicorns’… And ignoring that One in the Corner with a Megaspell charging on their horn. And making Fluttershy a Unicorn gives me a nasty feeling, considering how She’s an Animal Tamer… Who now possibly has access to Brainwashing spells…
And for Twilight, enhanced Strength isn’t something good for a Brainiac that needs delicate handling of things. Remember, Twilight may use magic, but she also had access to Technology as shown in Season One, where she had a Crude Computer in her Library Basement. Now try imagining her handling stuff like that with Hooves, especially since we haven’t Seen use of Hooves on anything extremely delicate.
And don’t get me started on the potential Nightmare Fuel of allowing Pinkie Pie anywhere near a Storm Cloud… And having the ability to muck around with it.
And Don’t get me started on the Alt-Dimension problem. What does that mean for Spike, who has been around since G1? Why Alt-Dimensions? Why have the Ponies be split up into separate realms for Unicorn, Pegasi and Earth Pony? Where would Dragons come in? What will the Villains be? And if there are any, and they want to split them up, Why not just break One of the Portal gates and trap everyone in that realms?
G4 was flawed, but they never tied up the loose Ends, which I hope they damn well do. It better not End with a ‘Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies’ ending just to pave the way to G5. And Diamond Dogs better turn up as a Race! We have been getting Everything but the Diamond Dogs! Even Gilda got a Return, but apparently, No One wants the dogs to show up!
(Edit) I just looked at the Transcripts. I am So painfully Disappointed. The last season… And they Cram it full of Nonsense. There’s a Sleeping Beauty Episode involving Pinkie Pie, an Episode that is a Blatent rip-off of ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs’, we have an imposter episode, Winona is giving Birth, which makes me Question the who the daddy is, A Pet Episode, which might Tie in to Winona getting pregnant, a Christmas Episode, a Blank Spot on the list… Oh, and Grogar and Scorpan are returning… And Scorpan is a Villain. Have they Forgotten he was last seen as a Friend of Equestria?!
Divines, This is a Trainwreck already!
Edited because: Rule #1
My guess is G3, either Pinkie Pie or Cheerilee was the main character, and the entire generation had only one unicorn.
The template for G4’s Pinkie was a pegasus and the template for G4’s Fluttershy was an earth pony. Insofar as that goes, G4 did establish a precedent for changing pony characters’ tribes between generations.
… what shows?
How about the fact that G1 Twilight, who was the template for G4’s Twilight, was a Unicorn herself?
And frankly, we have seen those shows that tried. They flopped.
And like I said, that can be abused. If even a minor Insult can be deemed as Bannable, what happens if Someone decides to just spam it on people who they feel have a conflicting ideal with their own?
First: How do you know Twilight is the main character?
Second: Is there a rule stating that the main character has to be a magic user/unicorn?
You can argue with other people without having to insult them without any provocation, you know.

Exactly, though I won’t be surprised if the Show Flops.
Not saying that it Would be Bad right off the Bat. I Actually will give it a benefit of a doubt, but I won’t be surprised if Hasbro is forced to cancel it.
What the hell is ‘Rule 0’!? It sounds like those Pricks on Pub Servers who just Ban People for no reason!
I like how you say “Characters Lauren Faust CREATED” then completely demolish your own argument by showing how they all were Hasbro characters to begin with. Frankly, G4 Rarity should have been Rainbow Dash (because that’s what Dash was previously, see “always dresses in style”) instead of Dash being hijacked into vessel for donutsteel faust OC. Also, you’re wrong, G1 Twilight wasn’t an unicorn, in fact in all of MLP history Twilight was earth pony far longer than she was unicorn. So much for “ALWAYS A UNICORN” shouting…
