MLP G5 Discussion and Speculation Thread

@DerpyFast  
Yep, a really dramatic irony.

@DerpyFast  
No friendship, no magic.
 
Or something stupid like that.

Never can go wrong with Prequel Memes.

But it has been like this since season 4.

@Background Pony #3BBB  
Well, I am just speaking generally about the entire franchise. I could be remembering wrong, but gen 1 sorta had that idea that pegasi’s magical attribute is them flying/having wings too.

@DaddyMakesMeEUHH  
I see. But if they remembered this fact, that means they are paying attention to the source material.

@Background Pony #3BBB  
Maybe.

From this :  
“Get to know Princess Petals: a Pegasus from Zephyr Heights! Princess Petals is a stylish and talented pop star. Imagine she is performing at the Royal Gala with Singing Star Princess Petals, inspired by the My Little Pony: A New Generation movie. Includes a 6-inch Princess Petals pink pony figure with a character-inspired music note Cutie Mark on one side. Articulated figure’s soft purple hair is curled in her signature style. She also features music and movement! Press her Cutie Mark to hear her sing part of her song, Glowing Up”.

@Background Pony #3BBB  

 
Wait… What? So Princess Petals is singing with…Princess Petals?

@Background Pony #3BBB  
I see. And it seems like we now have the name of their “main zone”, too - Zephyr Heights.
 
 
@Background Pony #7A60  
Syntax issue. The “with” is in the sense of using a tool, that is, the toy.

@Background Pony #3BBB  
It’s been this way since Friendship is Magic, Season 01. Absolutely no one was surprised in s04 finale when pegasi couldn’t fly, because that was known for years.  
@DaddyMakesMeEUHH  
G1 cartoon had no pegasus magic, though all ponies had magical manes. G1 comic had no Pegasus magic, it had individual magic instead.

It was actually a bit of a debate, if I recall.

I find it funny how Celestia and Luna united the tribes and ushered in a millennia of pony harmony, but a few indeterminate years of Twilight’s ruling has caused the 3 tribes to grow distrustful and segregated of each other.

@Dustcan  
something must’ve happened that likely forced twilight to go into hiding, probably for good this time

@Dustcan  
I just hope it’s for a legit reason and not “lol, Twilight had thoughts of murdering someone”…Stares at Luke from TLJ

The most likely is that some new character(s) screwed it up for everyone and ponies separated because they’re generally dim-witted.

@Background Pony #6879
 
To be fair, have you met Trixie?

@Background Pony #6879  
Kylo Ren kills Luster Dawn.

@Background Pony #6879  
He literally only turned on the light sabre moment of weakness

One of the songs is called ‘Glowing Up’. I wonder if any of the songs is called ‘Find your Sparkle’.

@Dustcan
 
We don’t actually know how much time it’s been.
 
@Background Pony #CF50  

 
I don’t think so. What episode was this established in? It was definitely true since Twilight’s Kingdom.
 
As a side note, I’m not really a fan of the idea. If a creature has wings, it makes sense to assume its ability to fly comes from having wings, rather than from magic. Narratively, you could have achieved the same effect by saying that Tirek stole their ability to control the weather.
 
Anyways, if they play up the irony angle I brought up earlier, then it kinda works out.

Pegasus not being able t fly because of no magic sounds kinda dumb tbh

@ichiban iceychan 1517  
Because no magic. And we still don’t know the cause of that (or why, say, the sun and moon still move).

@DerpyFast  
Perhaps they are like chickens without magic.
