MLP G5 Discussion and Speculation Thread

I actually would love to see Pipp as a video game streamer. And see what game parodies she would play.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Five night’s at Horace’s, Super Friends Girls Brawl, Octavio Kart, Gabby’s Mod, Batmare Arkham Series, etc.

Here’s where I risk coming off as a presumptuous snob. I want to make it clear that I don’t make assumptions about people’s intelligence of maturity level based on which pony is their favorite. This has more to do with the target audience and the people watching with them.

I do think that some of The Mane Five are more complex than others. It’s ultimately a kid’s show, but I think some characters have more to offer for older audiences. For example, Izzy is kind of silly and does crafts, but she also has a quiet wisdom, like in All That Jazz.

And then there’s Zipp. She has the widest emotional range. She stands to lose the most if the crystals fail. Her ongoing story is about repairing her relationship with her mother and sister. She’s a smart introvert without being pigeonholed into “the nerd” or “the shy one”. Then you get into spicy stuff like unconscious desires; she’s rebellious, but deep down she just wants approval.

Zipp goes hard as a character.

for some think that it’s the first time a dragon has farted fire, that’s sure wrong, the first known dragon fire fart is this.

@Shimmering Spectacle
It’s the first time on mlp, though.

@Phoenixflambe
😍
Yeah.

What does everyone think of Sparky so far?

Warning: Honest opinion

@Background Pony #369F
yeah, from a dragon.

@The Crystal Artist
physically or mentally?

So did Misty just make a fully functional haunted house complete with traps and a surveillance system in the span of what appears to be just a few minutes?

Also this episode def seems to be leaning more into the gross-out humour it seems (Posey saying pasta makes her gassy, Opalin’s garlic breath, and SParky’s magic farts)

@icicle wicicle 1517
Halloween is known for gross-out so…

@Background Pony #563E
Well, they can age him up, so…

I also noticed Misty has a cutie mark, despite her pretending she doesn’t have it.

@Background Pony #369F
it’s a fake

@Shimmering Spectacle
Ahh.

At least Posey is cut off before she mentioned what pasta gives her.

It’s obvious she was gonna say gas but hey.

@Dustcan
Yeah.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Same for Zipp.

Today’s episode was a lot of fun. I like how Pipp, of all ponies, is the one who loves a good scare. The ending where Misty was forced to keep running the haunted house made me laugh out loud.

I also want to mention that I am an adult who likes sophisticated things. This single fart joke has completely ruined my enjoyment of a show aimed at children.

@The Crystal Artist
He’s fine. His TYT design is better than his MYM design. One of the things I praise G5 for is how the characters evolved beyond what was set up in the premier. Daddy Hitch is a great direction to take Hitch’s character. It’s also nice that characters other The Twilight get to have a personal connection to important plot elements.

sign I can’t believe we’re still talking about sparky farting, it’s just a coincidence that sparky was farting out a fireball to get out of the room, that misty trapped him in.

Makes sense when as an influencer she’s always on the search for content.

@Shimmering Spectacle
Well, TYT for toddlers.

@Background Pony #369F
TYT is for everyone of any age

I actually like TYT more than MYM.

@Shimmering Spectacle
That CGI though
