MLP G5 Discussion and Speculation Thread

You know, I don’t really have much of a problem with anyone’s scheme. Except for Rocky. He’s a cute pony and all, but the tan/cream colouring of his fur is a bit too close to white person’s light skin colouring. Kinda looks a bit uncanny in tyt. Like a human-horse hybrid

I feel like they should have made his main coat colour closer to a Labrador, for example. Or a golden retriever.

wdym?

What if “My Little Pony: Make Your Mark” is on Nickelodeon?

@Shimmering Spectacle
She hasn’t exactly been hiding how evil or uncaring she is.

@Mr.Myoozik
She was expecting it to work on Sparky though, if it’s because she thinks Sparky is a critter.

@Former Trini-Mite
Cameos don’t last long than a single installment, it’ll most likely be someone else who has these Disney Princesses memories somehow.

@Former Trini-Mite
It won’t

Okay so, here’s an inconsistency I’ve been sitting on for awhile:

If the Pegasi and Earth Ponies weren’t in contact for hundreds of years, and didn’t make contact until after Zipp and Sunny were adults, how do they both know what a Bakey-Boo Oven is?

And I came up with a needlessly complicated headcanon to explain it.

We know that Zipp had one as a filly. Now, if the oven was a product of Earth Ponies, then it seems unlikely that one would get smuggled into Zephyr Heights, or that the royals would allow their children to play with one. So it’s probably a product of Zephyr Heights. I think if Argyle is able to acquire all these artifacts, there’s probably some kind of black market that deals in goods from the other tribes. So I think Argyle got his hooves on the oven from there, and gave it to Sunny.

Here’s where it gets interesting. Not only does it tie into her love of baking, it also helps explain why she’s more open to contacting the other tribes. She probably went

“How can they be evil? They made this adorable little oven!”

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

@DerpyFast
Yes, with his magical invisible hands (Yes, I know what you meant. Just wanted to be silly)

@Lord WyrmSpawN
yeah she’s bleatingly letting misty do everything for her, which is like abuse imo.

also there’s now merch that shows misty’s (possibly true) cutie mark, which means it might be hinting that we’ll see why and how misty doesn’t have one since her foalhood.

Well its not like abuse, it is abuse lol

@Shimmering Spectacle
Spoiler alert. Apparently the toys are spoiling everything now while being easily spoilt themselves.

@Phoenixflambe
I mean, we knew Misty was going to switch sides before we even knew her name.

@DerpyFast
I guess, she doesn’t seem like the type of person even capable of coming up with the ultimate villain plan

Well yeah bc she’s not a villian lol. She’s a victim

@Background Pony #545C
His coat color reminds me of this horse

@DerpyFast
Now this is the kind of theory I like to see.

Comic 10 Question: Will Sunny, Izzy, Hitch, Zipp and Pipp escape the cage, or will someone free them?

very modernism

No.

yeah, a misguided minion i would say

@Shimmering Spectacle
She’s definitely much more of a “villain” in the sense that she’s working against the heroes than in the sense that she’s “evil”. Calling her a “victim” though, I wouldn’t go that far. Yes, she gets abused, however, she also clearly enjoys the villainous deeds she does and trapped Pipp and Zipp in a cave, where they would’ve starved to death if they were not helped. You’re supposed to feel sorry for her when Opaline mistreats her, but not when she receives comeuppance for doing wrong. I believe that’s the balance the writers intend.

I think you fundamentally misunderstand what a victim is in this sense. (Also shes an antagonist, Opaline is the villian.)
She by definition is one, yes she does bad things, but at the will of opaline. Reminder shes been manipulated and abused by opaline her whole life, she ofc has a skewed moral sense (altho shes still curious and generally kind), she doesnt really know what ‘evil’ actually means.
We both want to see her succeed for her own confidence (and to not get more berated by opaline), but also fail as obv we dont want the protags to lose.

@LoreJuniper
I…don’t see what I was misunderstanding when I acknowledged that she was abused, of course she’s a victim of that. “They’re not a villain, they’re a victim” tends to imply that an antagonist’s wrongs are justified by what they’ve suffered through, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt you didn’t mean that. Still, it needs to be pointed out that Misty does believe she’s going to get something out of what she’s doing for Opaline. She’s doing bad for both Opaline and herself. I’m only pointing this out because I feel Misty’s character is enjoyed most while not feeling too much pity for her.

@CloudMistDragon
compare misty to tempest, look how she got treated after serving the storm king, under a false hope of something she wants the most.
