MLP G5 Discussion and Speculation Thread

@Dustcan
Oops. Could the writers not be aware of this? I still love her, though. Hopefully it’s not intentional.

@Dustcan
I mean abusing and using another’s culture/location while also gaining from it is pretty standard for an influencer

Another note:
Sunny says in what is essentially a throwaway line that she lost most of her Dad’s belongings in the Lighthouse collapse D:

It’s definitely meme-ing. Well, except for the time when she picked every one of those “never before seen” blue flowers.

I feel the intention is to make Pipp look eco-conscious by only using all-natural products.

But Pipp being a ponified Nestle by selling unicorn’s natural resources back to them is a hi-larious interpretation.

I REALLY don’t want MYM to end just when it’s finally hitting its stride.

Did anyone else feel that in Ch5 the animation quality dropped a bit?

@🧡☮Starrscout☮🧡
Idk, why? 🤔

Finished rewatching Chapter 5:

A Little Horse was the comfiest MLP episode in a LONG time.

Something tells me Secrets of Starlight might indeed be about her.
Posey goes and shows Sunny and friends her missing cutie mark, they then go on a journey to find the mare herself that created that spell to create a counter-spell. Sounds about right.

@Mr.Myoozik
She’s my first favourite old character due to her living the history.

@Background Pony #545C
They went to the party and got drunk.

@Dustcan
Okay. 😂

To be fair, Pipp is a lot more genuine about her products being authentic than I see RL influencers be. And we’ve seen that her products aren’t solely about whatever she gets from Bridlewood, but it’s one of the ingredients she uses to make a unique perfume, hoof polish, etc.

That being said. Pipp vs. Bridlewood meme will never not be hilarious.

This picture made me think that Sunny Starscout actually has the coolest meme. Meanwhile Pipp has to deal with being called “smol” and “fat” and Jazz has to deal with people pointing out her lack of ears in MYM. However Sunny Starscout gets to be involved in a badass concept of Twilight becoming an antagonist which makes alot of sense along with decent artwork.

@Grapefruit Face
True.

Alphabittle being huge and having some chonk but Misty being normal/slightly on the smaller side of funny.

Then where is Grogar’s bell? If I remember correctly, it is indestructible. It should have been found and kept in the cellar at Brighthouse, but we have seen no sign of it. Could it have fallen into the sea?

Also, it’s possible that the strongest magic item in G1 might have appeared, because a Breezie gave a locket to Sunny with a mysterious phrase; “It has long been waiting for a special pony. A hopeful pony. I believe that You are the One.”

We know what the locket is capable of, it contains deadly magic in the form of the Rainbow of Light and is perhaps the most dangerous thing ever created by the ponies in all Generations. If it’s the Rainbow Locket, this is overkill against Opaline, even if she reaches full strength. It was this that destroyed Sombra when Twilight channeled the magic from all six ponies into a magical beam very similar to the rainbow of Light, according to IDW comics he was pulverized into dust.

Megan Williams in G1 had come to the aid of the ponies in their darkest hour, and she had helped them, mediated between them, been like a mother to them - and she had been their hope, that if she was a pony, she would completely certainly have the Element of Hope. She let the ponies do as they pleased, only interceding for them and helping or advising them like a true leader who cares about them.

Sunny in many ways can end up being like her, because she doesn’t want power, wants to help others, treat ponies equally, and brokered between them like when she got her cutie mark. She holds onto her ideals so that she is more or less incorruptible in the face of Opaline, who believes the young alicorn is the biggest threat to her plans.

It’s very possible that the Rainbow Locket couldn’t be used after Megan’s time (if she was in G4’s past - but we’ll probably never learn) because it predicts a pony with the right traits and the right element - like Sunny’s personality and element. And Sunny is the element of Hope, which had reunited pony tribes. In C5 we have seen that she is back where she was in the movie with leadership skills, especially in connection with Zipp around Misty. She is back in the leadership position of the New Mane 6.

Maybe the locket will be essential to stop Opaline in C6, maybe to find Twilight - but the resemblance to the Rainbow Locket doesn’t seem to be coincidental, and it can’t be the Fire Ruby Spike made for Rarity. Then a question arises; if it’s the legendary locket - which Sunny can only use - it can’t just be meant for Opaline, has Berrow decided that Opaline should be killed? Or that there is a much bigger threat that had to be prevented?

We don’t know what Opaline is going to “open”, and everything indicates that it is on this basis that the finale is going to happen. There are three episodes in C6, and from what we’ve seen of C5, it could mean that the special SoS has been added - for ep. 5 and ep. 6 may have been original C6 episodes. Then it means that ep. 1, 2 and 3 in C5 will be about the dragons, cutie mark theft and the final confrontation between Sunny and Opaline.

SoS could be the finale of MYM where the secrets are going to be revealed and it is possible that it could be where Twilight and Sunny will meet each other. Then the last act in the movie about the transition from G4 to G5 will take place.

@Grapefruit Face
I agree. The small and fat jokes have gotten very tiring now. In fact I think they’re slowing down.

@Background Pony #0D99
Me, too, bud. Me, too. The show is finally making its mark. It is far from perfect but it has improved so much since chapter 1.
