MLP G5 Discussion and Speculation Thread

@SparkleDash  
No, studios can do more than one thing at a time.

@Mikey  
How big is the studio? Do they have the time for both?

@SparkleDash  
Boulder only worked in season 1 of Gumball. They had no involvement in later seasons! The only CN series Boulder works now is DC Super Hero Girls, who may end after season 2 (the showrunner for season 2 followed Lauren Faust’s steps and left to work in something else).

@SparkleDash  
They have two studios in Dublin.  
One in Sandymount, the other in Claremont.

@GoodVibesGorgeous  
True, CN Studios Europe did the Later Seasons.

So far, so good. The movie is getting good reviews.

I don’t know if I said this in this thread or not, but the truth is, the relationship with Izzy and Sunny marks an interesting point:  

Have learned enough to understand the movie; this is 100% G5 instead of a transition from G4 to G5, and strongly marked by a desire to break with older lore and unfortunately as seen with the earth ponies and the unicorns the writers will not tone it down. The background is too weakly developed, and it is seen that the animators follow their own path to great joy for us who can find a lot of strange things where it is a bit blank. This is a movie where it is the animators who saved the G5 and created a new beginning than the writers, who in different circumstances could have been a huge mistake.
 
Thank goodness that the character gallery around Sunny is strong enough to carry the entire movie and reach the audience successfully, as they have overwhelmed everything else that was bad or poorly developed. A little strange that the pegasi was given better treatment than everyone else. The writers were a little too influenced by the present time in 2019-2020 when the US presidential election and the pandemic were going on.
 
It has been revealed that trailers and pictures have been retouched and manipulated, so we did not get to see what came out before in the movie, especially when Sunny was to become an “alicorn”. It is obvious that Hasbro and others who came to, realized that the movie could go wrong, and thus hope to “surprise” the viewers. They could have spared themselves the trouble, the characters in what make up the Mane 5 are enough in themselves.
 
Ironically, the Mane 5 saved the G5 as much as saving the Ponykind by returning the magic to them. It is they, not the background of the movie, that are most important. A contrast from the 2017 movie, where it was the background that had come to the fore.

She’s the butt monkey.

@Background Pony #1D03  
So we went from Spike to | |Queen Haven| |.

@Background Pony #6E1D  
Oops, was meant to do this: Queen Haven

Only 3 days until the movie.

Edit this comment to change it and replace this text with a period.

I’m kinda disappointed that ponies don’t get their cutie mark on their left flank back by the end of the movie, still held on some hope that they went back on that concept.

@Background Pony #6E1D  
Gee, I was expecting her to be awesome and badass. Lol.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer  
Sorry to disappoint. She isn’t. :P

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
 
Well, she is kind of a bitch, so she deserves it.

Do you think Queen Haven loves to brag about how talented her daughters are?

@Background Pony #E0A9  
She could. I mean, royalty ponies like her love bragging about stuff, so yeah.

@Background Pony #E0A9  
But is she one of those lovable bitches with a heart of gold deep down?

So, Queen Haven is literally who her voice actress character in 30 Rock is, makes sense.

Here’s a new clip of the movie.

Has anyone pointed out the technology difference between the races yet? Cause so far it seems like each species is at a different point. Like the pegasus are they only ones I’ve seen with phones, where as the unicorns don’t even seem to have electricity and the Earth ponies are around like the 80s or so

With the clips, we know a little bit more about the characters.
 
Like how Sunny, while well-meaning, doesn’t always think things through. Like how she thought it would be a good idea to give a speech on unity during a product demonstration, or when she recklessly bet both crystals in the competition against Alphabittle.

@Background Pony #B58C  
Yes, I think it’s a interesting contrast. Helps making each race unique in its own way!
 
 
@Background Pony #E0A9  
That’s right!
