MLP G5 Discussion and Speculation Thread

Background Pony #E5CF
Saw the new episode and That stuff seems pretty useful to get critters to attack a certain pony. But I’d rather use my Pokémon, since I wouldn’t be making any beings act and feel “Not themselves”
The latest TYT episode shows that this series has changed character, it is now more similar to more regular episodes known from G4, only more action filled despite the shorter time.
Misty’s mood changed faster than expected during the plot, she regretted setting the trap for the dragon that ended up triggering disaster in Maretime Bay. And we know that the critters are omnivores, they were going to eat Hitch if the others hadn’t intervened and expelled the poisoned air from the critters. Misty ended up having to flee, betrayed by Opaline who refused to help her out…
TYT takes on a more important significance for the G5.

This was a good one. I like how Sparky is really starting to take after his dad. This is paralleled in Misty acting like Opaline. Zipp is trying to be more open to thing thing Pipp wants to do, and also gets to do some sleuthing. Another detail I noticed is that Misty is much more anxious than she was in the Nightmare Night episodes.
All around, it’s a really solid episode that doubles as a set of character development milestones.

So it seems like TYT intends to stay faithful to this bi-weekly schedule. Good, good. I’m a bigger fan of the other Misty/Opaline episodes, but this one was fine. Favorite part was Misty trying to talk sinisterly like Opaline.
“And a cutie mark for me.”
Misty trying to be evil is just so cute to me.

Have no idea what your comment has anything to do with my comment. So I’m gonna assume you either replied to the wrong comment or took mine the wrong way.
I was pointing out the gas stuff making the critters go “not themselves” it was late at night so I didn’t think of the word “feral” for example. Then I was saying on how the stuff would be useful to attack a certain pony. Bit then saying using something like Pokémon would be more useful since you wouldn’t have be making critters go feral. Since most Pokémon would attack any baddies you ask them to attack.

Zipp jumping to look for Hitch as a favor for Pipp is nice.
Zipp using a favor for Pipp as an excuse to look for Hitch is hot.
Don’t look at me like that, you all already know I’m filthy shipping trash.

Odd. Have we ever seen a foal get a hairstyle or hoof design done at Mane Melody? Sure there’s the Pippsqueak trio who helps out sometimes, and that short where Sunny, Izzy and Hitch were turnt to foals. But I don’t think we have physically seen a foal get their mane or hooves styled at that place
Seems it might be an adult-only place, with events being special occasions where foals are allowed (or the pippsqueak trio are exceptions)

Jazz kinda feels like somone’s self-insert just shoved in, not caring about the lore. All earth ponies, besides Sunny and Argyle, in the movie were terrified of pegasi (and unicorns). But in one of the Podcasts, Jazz, an earth pony admits to liking Pipp’s music ever since she was a filly.
Sure, Jazz might have been able to somehow connect to the pegasi network. But how did she not get captured by her family, friends or such? I doubt any other earth pony (except Sunny and Argyle) would have been okay with a filly enjoying stuff made by pegasi! Also, how is it that she didn’t grow up believing all the stuff about them, unless she is related to Sunny somehow? Because the movie implied that Sunny and Argyle were the only earth ponies who knew pegasi and unicorns could be friends.
I suppose this can be explained or fixed in someway…
I’m sorry, but Rocky being a big fan of Pipp before magic’s return would be more believable. They are both pegasi and most pegasi were huge fans of Pipp
What does everyone else think?

I think its perfectly realistic. Think of it like being gay/out of the closet. There are some who are open publicly and fully accept the possible consequences of everyone knowing it and them like sunny and argyle. Some are more closeted like Jazz, shes doesnt hate the other races but she wont share it publicly due to the possible backlash and ostracization by the community. Especially for someone who’s job relys on trust (personally grooming ponies manes and hooves which are personal to them). Simply put not everyone is willing to be open with it.
As for how, we know there are records that were kept private (altho considering the town, i doubt it was very hard security.) Or maybe she accessed the pegasi wifi or something ,who knows. Point is that its not really unrealistic, itd be more unrealistic actually to have sunny be the only pony to ever have a positive opinion on the other races before the movie

as I said before, the moment misty learns about the true meaning of cutie marks, she’ll know what it means to be free from an abusive relationship, and with the latest short, it clearly shows that opaline cares more about getting what is ‘rightfully’ hers, then for her wellbeing.

Hmm, interesting that the gas just affected the critters and not everyone else, maybe the ponies have some immunity to it. Also, damn Opaline, continuing on with your puppy kicking aren’t you?
Episode was pretty good, I enjoyed the dynamic with all the characters and how Hitch’a critters got a time in the spotlight.

I wonder if Rocky will get his own TYT episode soon. Jazz got one two! So it’s fair that Rocky gets one focused on him… I have high hopes for him. I’ve been hoping he’ll get one soon since September/October.
I kinda like Rocky. I think his design is cute in MYM, minus the eyebrows. I know there’s been equines in the past with eyebrows, like Spirit and Max. But in MLP they do look a bit weird sometimes on these ponies, in my opinion. Especially Rocky, I think they should have made them the same colour as his belly, kinda like how some breeds of dogs up patches/spots above their eyes.
