MLP G5 Discussion and Speculation Thread

I’m not very hyped for the new series.

I feel the voice actor for Hitch tends to over-exaggerate a little. Like when Hitch first understood the animals, he was stretching it out a little with the “Did I just… understand youuuuu??” and “Whaaaat” when it wasn’t necessarily.

Also when Hitch, Zipp, and Pipp were looking for Sunny/Izzy, he was the only one actually screaming while Zipp and Pipp’s voices were more normal.

I do feel a bit that they should have just released it with the rest of the season

Why do the movie and special feel more like glorified pilots?

@Background Pony #E2A5
Agreed.

@Background Pony #E0DA
Because it was

And to set up the series.

Who voiced the Shadowy Alicorn? If it wasn’t Bahia Watson, I think we can rule out the possibility she’s Misty.

It wasn’t Bahia Watson. Her name wasn’t in the credits.

So according to the maretine bay video game, Sprout is still a raging racist and is behind/supportive of the earth ponies wanting to get rid of the magic

Makes sense. I’m just trying to piece together when if at all the game takes place in the continuity.

Sprout’s around, so it’s either before TYT or after. And yet WINGS is a thing and the game is centered around the Unity Crystal glitches and is building up to Maretime Bay Day.

I really hope the dependence on the Unity Crystal doesn’t become a recurring thing. We already have it with the movie, special, video game, and comic.

@Dustcan
I think the game is just supposed to be it’s own little thing instead of trying to tie in/fill in the gaps between the movie and the special/series.

@GoodVibesGorgeous
You can see here that her name doesn’t show up.

I don’t believe that the shadowy alicornis related to any character from G4 but isn’t it weird that she doesn’t have a name? She looks like an important character. Even Sparky’s name was put in the credits but hers wasn’t and he doesn’t even talk.

@Background Pony #90D1
They’re probably trying to make it a secret…

@Fanstar
Maybe.

@Fanstar
One of them is Kenneth.

@Phoenixflambe
The Mean 6 reference!

@Background Pony #90D1
Wow. I forgot that cartoons made in Toronto rarely credit all voice actors properly. She probably is either voiced by Vanessa or somebody else (I know Kimberly is Posey, Sara is Dahlia, Amanda is Haven, Samantha is Jazz, Jonathan is Rocky and probably other male characters besides Hitch and Sparky and Athena is Zoom).

@icicle wicicle 1517
I guess it’s probably a longer shot that they’ll evolve his character in any way.

How likely is it that the alicorn villain has a tragic backstory?

@Background Pony #E0DA
50/50

@Background Pony #E0DA
It has to be tragic or at least ironic. She’s an alicorns because she was either chosen to be (she was once a good and responsible pony) or she was born one (she came from good and responsible alicorns). Plus she looks old so she’s probably bitter too.

@DaddyMakesMeEUHH
Agreed.
