MLP G5 Discussion and Speculation Thread

@GoodVibesGorgeous
Okay thanks. Stacey is also a canadian, and she is a singer. She was on America/Canada got talent as well. Even if it’s fake it’s still sorta plausible.

@DaddyMakesMeEUHH
Yeah, you got a point. Let’s just wait until the Make Your Mark series premieres.

Looking back I can at least say that they should have delayed Sparky’s birth but I guess they wanted to incorporate a token sidekick dragon and get it over with. Heck, he even has wings already too despite the mental age matching. It would be more meaningful that way than this.

I can give a in-universe explanation as to why he’s born this way and that does bring up a neat concept of him being a freak among the other dragons.

@Phoenixflambe
Or it could just be genetics/evolution At work

@icicle wicicle 1517
I’m tempted to say that’s not how evolution works.

Sparky is probably just an early bloomer.

Okay, I just rewatched the episode and I think there’s an in-universe explanation for Jazz’s rarely appearing ears. In some parts of the Mane Melody scene, you can see her from behind and her ears are down and it seems that in her they lie a tiny, tiny bit further back in her head (my eyesight isn’t that good, I can’t confirm it entirely). This could be some kind of quirk that Jazz has. Though it’s likely her ears actually vanish when she lowers her head (before the musical number).

Somebody pointed out that the special felt too “girly”. I noticed that too, but I feel like that just makes Zipp’s frustration stand out more.

It looks like Zipp is the new deputy, which I’m absolutely thrilled about.

@Background Pony #E0DA
Hard to say.

It isn’t like G4 was nine seasons of solid gold. In fact, G4 didn’t even hit its stride until halfway through Season One. I’d also say that A New Generation is better than both the 2017 movie and the pilot.

G5 already has better worldbuilding and continuity, and is in a much better position to capitalize on its potential. Follow-ups in G4 were such a crapshoot, so I’m genuinely impressed at how seamlessly the special fits in between the episodes.

||Why did the Shadowy Alicorn wait for magic to come back? Wouldn’t it be easier to get the crystals with magic gone? Or perhaps she didn’t know where the other crystals were. ||

@Background Pony #90D1
Or couldn’t get them to work herself.

@Background Pony #90D1
Maybe her magic was gone too, maybe that’s why she’s thrilled with how the ponies got their magic back

@Background Pony #90D1
Magic needed more than just the crystals being together

I have the game.

So apparently this pic had already shown Earth Pony magic as is

@Phoenixflambe
Neat.

@Phoenixflambe
Yeah, we had that for G4 for a while. It’s not new info.

@northern haste
I agree, putting the crystals together wasn’t the problem. it was them being separate from one another.

Is it good?

Now that I’ve had more time to think back on the episode, they could’ve done a better job of portraying Hitch as sheriff. He could’ve just flat-out mentioned there weren’t currently any laws directly regarding magic, and he ought to have made a notable effort at keeping the peace rather than being evasive over the whole ordeal.
I also would’ve preferred Sunny being more wrapped up in the Maretime Bay Day preparations and ultimately breaking from her reverie once Zipp mentions the Unity Crystals, instead of being lackadaisical about the crystals and as directly dismissive of Zipp as she was.

I think it’d be more accurate to compare MYM to the G4 pilot. Which imo the G4 pilot did a better job at making me more interested than MYM did.

@Background Pony #90D1
Aside from the mares it’s just errands & mini games so far.

@Badheart
I knew it. I just knew that it would not have that much stuff. It definitely isn’t the Battle for Bikini Bottom of MLP.

Honestly I just want to see what mods people can make from it

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Be prepared, then.

Honestly, it isn’t bad though.

Make Your Mark’s theme is a rap version of the My Little Pony Theme. Reaction?
