The movie had been made for several years and got its final form in the last year before the release in 2021, when G4 was “shut down” for two years, everyone here now knows that the movie had several scripts, the one that came closest was the script about a darker world with open hostility, morally dubious methods in use and more irreconcilable enemies, before a decision was made to move to the connection between the G4 and the G5. Then the idea of the magic that disappeared, a rescue for the movie team who can thus complete their work without starting again, still became very different. We got a mysterious background about the lost magic, the “everyone forgot” mystery, the conflict between the tribes that is not a conflict, and fear instead of anger or hatred. The old draft was a little too dark, too easy - too predictable.
The movie today, on the other hand, is a window into a world that is familiar to us, yet has been shrouded in a veil of mystery that has only just been opened, as the return of magic and Sunny as an alicorn - whether permanent or temporary - shown that a new course had been laid out in the old G4 world, where a new world manifested itself. There will be many questions, a lot of speculation, and it is clear that the director behind the movie did not have much authority behind him because several key interests were essential in the preparation of the movie. Sunny was meant to be a permanent alicorn, it depends on the fans, we got an intermediate solution, as Sunny’s potential as an earth pony is too great.
It is possible that the recent seasons of the G4, especially the reactions of the fans, may have served as the background for the choices that were made when designing the “rules” and frameworks of the future world. The disappointment over Discord’s deception may mean that G5 will see the ram Grogar appeared. If the information that Sunny is the element of Hope should be real, Grogar who spreads fear, hopelessness and terror for his own magical power, is almost perfect as the villain boss of the G5. And as the noise around the S10 and growing interest in more lore about the world has shown that there are very many who want to learn a lot about the background, it may mean that world exploration will be central to the G5. Sunny and her friends have just started.
Argyle’s death may be due to illness, but his death can not be accidental, and Sunny, who wants to find out anyone about her father who has been shown to have a mysterious side, will undoubtedly discover many things that were hidden from her. Among other things, what were Argyle’s last experiences that happened before his death. The screencap of his glasses and medallion from an angle where Grogar’s bell lay early, when it was realized that he was dead, gives a vague hint. And the three crystals and Twilight Sparkle’s cutie mark make it clear that something mysterious is going on.
