Interesting.
Though I’ve not kept secret that I think Sunny is pretty boring post-movie, I would not put her on the same level as Sparky, who actively makes episodes less enjoyable to watch.

You don’t have a problem with anyone liking the characters you personally have low ratings for, right? I don’t like it when people have a “you must hate what I hate” mentality. Sorry if I sounded rough. I’m just asking. By the way, thanks for giving Pipp a 4/5. 😊😍

I give every character at least a 3/5. That includes Sparky because he’s overhated as heck from people taking his obvious comic relief way too seriously and characters like Phyllis because I’ve always enjoyed not liking them as the writers intend. Rufus being at 0/5 is absolute blasphemy. He’s awesome because he’s such an uncle.

I don’t really care if characters hate characters I like, or like characters I hate. It makes it more interesting, and if I really don’t like the character, it’s better to just focus on ones I like

If we were to count the TYT versions of the characters as separate characters they’d be mostly the same. Except for Jazz. TYT Jazz would have a 1/5 and MYM Jazz would have a 4/5

For some reason, Sparky, Opaline and Misty are still absent. At least from the cover. Maybe Hitch really found an excellent dragonsitter or something. Because Cloudpuff has effectively replaced him in the comics. That one aside, I think it’s too early for them to deal with another villain when Opaline is still looming over them.

Friendship, Art, and Magic (2018) - Celebrated Derpibooru's six year anniversary with friends.

The thought occurs. Hitch goes to visit his grandmare for Wishday, and he shows up with four mares. I wonder if she’s going to tease him about finding a girlfriend.

The trailer says Figgy thinks seeing the Mane 5 is “a treat” even though she knows Hitch is already coming, and another shot shows all 5 of them having a laugh at Hitch’s expense, so it’s not impossible.

I’m glad that Ellen-Ray Hennessey is still involved with MLP and voicing Hitch’s grandma. I met her in a convention earlier this year and she was one of the coolest old ladies I have ever met, even got a chance to hug her for a minute and a half. Can’t wait for her to do great with this role.

I kind-of hope we’ll get to see high society ponies in Zephyre Heights like the Canterlot ponies.

In my opinion… Jazz was more interesting before she came a consisntant side pony. Jazz and Rocky really seemed like a duo that would pop-in from time to time to have their moments. Now they don’t feel like a duo as much anymore
It’s all Jazz this, Jazz that and Pipp and Jazz!

They might’ve giving their immortality to twilight, and probably offered much of their magic to her as well.
Twilight will never accept the death of others, she does not have the right mentality for this - especially not her mentor Celestia, so she will never take the magic from the royal siblings. As a fully grown alicorn, she will likely have understood the internal magic of an alicorn, and thus know what the consequences would be.
Opaline had said that an alicorn is immortal, meaning they cannot die. Then there is only one alternative for the immortals who had their lives extended through magic, ascension from the world of mortals. This is not unknown from Greek and ancient mythology, namely that mortals who gain immortality can join the gods who live separately from the mortal world. And the alicorns are more divine than other creatures - because they are magical beings created in the image of the Ponykind and with a direct link to the very essence of magic. I believe the alicorns’ existence is a result of the ponies’ collective magic and will.
It is likely that the alicorns will ascend and disappear for good when the magic within them demands it, as it has been seen that they did not stop aging and it is known that age is erratic for them, Twilight was once transformed into a filly was she was sick and Luna was able to change her age as seen at the beginning of G4. Celestia and Luna can ascend, possibly transferring their magic to the Sun and Moon who can thus move around the planet unassisted.
It is possible that Twilight may have been trapped in an unknown prison as the limbo when she sealed the magic, this cannot happen with impunity, Fluffy may still be alive in the Crystal Empire whose fate is not known - and Cadence may have gone after Celestia and Luna to the elsewhere, never to return. Opaline has not said anything about the fate of the other alicorns but she pretended to believe that Sunny is the only one who can pose a threat to her.
Discord is heading towards his endgame in IDW #10, Fluttershy’s message may mean that he will follow her in the end, seeing that the Mane 5 can live up to the legacy of the Mane 6 and give him hope for the future. So I don’t think he will play a role in G5. Spike may have become the overlord of the dragons - he is the actual overlord of all the dragons in G4 - and may appear in the future when the Mane 5/New Mane 6 find the dragons’ home.
All indications are that Twilight will appear in G5, but maybe only very few times, the most important will be when Sunny ascends to become a complete alicorn towards the end of G5. Twilight will be there to welcome her to the alicornhood. It could be her endgame.

It’s refreshing, the G5 is getting boring for the viewers who have so far seen much less danger and life-threatening situations in the G5 than in the entire first episode of the G4. It looks more like a monster than a villain, and this is very encouraging - because not a single monster has been seen so far in the G5.
No one here has asked the question why there are no monsters in the G5, when these were part of the wildlife and background in the G4. The ponies had trained monsters for more peaceful pursuits, these have disappeared as well. Domestic animals such as cows, pigs, sheep and chickens - even the intelligent ones - have not been seen in the G5 either. Where are they? The ponies need wool, milk and eggs in the G5 as in the G4.
The first season of the G5 is half way over, and it has proved anemic in comparison to the first season of the G4. So far we have seen far too little outside the three localities - and very little of the wildlife beyond the critters and the ponies.
C3 is not going to offer us surprises and much new, so we can only hope that C4 will show us the sea ponies as hinted by the official G5 map for season 1, a sea pony was depicted in this map.

What if Sprout is STILL convinced that becoming the sheriff is his destiny?
