MLP G5 Discussion and Speculation Thread

Sounds good on paper. But too OP for my liking. Each character should have a trait thar they should specialize in that the others can’t match as well as the others.
 
Most importanty, it might negate the importance of the other characters, if just one character have all these traits and the others might be inferior.

@Background Pony #C0B3  
Sounds boring. Why are the others there?

New poster.

Lol they made the same type of joke as Life is Strange, the “go f**k yourselfie” line.

 
Animated poster

@Ring Team  
I hope they don’t use this joke too much. That was a little hard to read for me.

Reposting my thought on the selfie poster
 
Seeing characters you were being acustomed to for a decades, that live in a fairy tale-medieval-sortasteampunk setting suddenly ,by the virtue of timeskip (which is a justifiable excuse unless the unforgivable couldnt-care-less asspull that is the Mirror Dimension That Conveniently Led To An Urban Setting Similar To Monster High And Disfigure The Main Character To Badly Colored Barbies In the Process) acquire cellphones and make a selfie, that make you dimly aware that 10 years have passed. As i hope i established properly, i’m not bitter about that development, in my mind the justification to that state of being make sense for a narrative standpoint (seeing what Equestria look in the distant future ? Yeah why not, show me, i’m curious) , it really does but you know they did it to appeal to the “zoomers”. That too is justifiable from a marketing standpoint, of course Hasbro is going to cater to today’s kid ,if we feel left behind in my opinion it’s our “fault”, we’re getting old
 
And we feel that on the double since you know,we’re not the target audience

@Vortaxonus  
And you felt anger on that post about my fear of 4chan shoving their “go woke,go broke” discourse that’s on you. I was just posting my concerns on the matter and i wasnt doomposting but let’s be realist, pop culture fandom attitude is pretty bleak nowadays  
Me shitting on Equestria Girls, yeah i get that to you that’s anger, that shit is inexcusable.10 years doesnt wash away that it was (probably not intended but still) a metaphorical middle finger to both Faust and to everyone who hope media for girls evolve beyond being Barbie

G5 is not the first time the ponies were in a modern non fantasy setting.  

@Dex Stewart  
And G4 was not a purely fantasy setting

@northern haste  
 
There’s nothing more fantasy than sorting mail.

@Dex Stewart  
Yeah,G1.5 established that from the get go. A more or less contemporary (1980s in that case) setting. I like that it seems that G5 seems to define G4 as “Ancient Equestia” .

Once again, i emphasize i’m fine with the G5 settings allowing the ponies to have cellphones and what not. Time passed and their technology evolved naturally from the vague Schizotech steampunk technology they had (they already had cinema theater and two reel movie projector) to being able to take selfies

silver quill is now doing videos on g5 And to point out that the idea that what the mane 6 did resulted in a perfect future with no problems with friendship Is a greater fantasy than magic talking horses

The plot is saying that a jewel heist has happened, so this may be a clue that the elements of harmony might have been mended(as before in the g4 pilot).

I have low expectations.

I am just hoping they will not make cringy jokes of mentioning random websites with horse puns. Scoob was enough for me.

@northern haste  
I once again invoke ‘has things in place to prevent this outcome’ to this strawman.

@WyrmSpawN  
Like what?  
How do you prevent the way people act?

@northern haste  
Laws, kindness, magical coercion, threats of violence, lies, magical ice spirits?
 
You know, everything G4 featured at some point.

@WyrmSpawN  
That Doesnt control how people act.  
Also quill was doing comparisons from the real world

@ichiban iceychan 1517  
You can see some personality from each of them. I wonder if this might be a credits shot like in G4?

Sprout is a deputy.  

@Background Pony #B8BE  
Already I wonder if he and hitch are raleted, and/or work in the same work place.
