I still don’t get why a few people here wants Lighting Dust to be presented in Rainbow’s scene.

@Hericks  
So that’s why Sunset Shimmer is in the song despite not appearing in the show before that point.

@Wiimeiser  
That is certainly possible. But in either case, this scene was a incredible, nostalgic schene for the long time fans on the show.

@Hericks  
I also think this may have been one of the first S9 episodes to be animated given it seems like a high-priority episode, so they didn’t have that many S9 characters to work with (and this ep was likely already done by the time they came up with designs for Spur and Biscuit…)

@Broken Adam  
Well his character was basically created to be a joke in the season 1 finale. And he never was very popular, so why would the writers expand on him?
 
@ApplejackFan204  
You have to consider the limitations of the animators as well. To expect them to fit all 850+ characters in one scene is simply ludicrous. So they tried to fit in all the most significant or popular ones.

@SJArt117  
exactly. only way I could be happier is if I got to roll coal on him with my truck

Good riddance. :P

@Hericks  
If that’s true, what about all of those creatures that I listed? Some of them were friends/associates to the Mane 6.
 
But I can understand most of the villains not being here, since they did oppose the Mane 6.

@Hericks  
the point people are making that it’s weird for a character like him to get as little as screen time as he got , especially when even Garble got more roles

Who needs you, Prince Doucheblood?

@Broken Adam  
All of the characters presented in this scene are supposed to be friends that the main 6 gained over the series (and direct relatives), not just every character in the series.
 
Blueblood doesn’t fit, because he doesn’t have any friends, let alone being a personal friend of the main 6.  
I thought that was obvious, but it doesn’t seem like anyone here gets that…  
Then again, I suppose a few of the characters presented are a bit of a stretch, (like Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, who may be friends with the CMCs now, but not so much the main 6)

@ApplejackFan204  
At least those characters aren’t related to Celestia

GOOD!

@ApplejackFan204  
They didn’t need help tho

I forgot about:  
Toe Tapper and Torch Song  
Hoofer Steps  
Truffle Shuffle  
Mr Greenhooves  
The delegates from Saddle Arabia  
Ace Point  
Hoo Far  
Crackle  
Sandbar’s family

@Background Pony #58B5  
the correct word is blueballs, since he can’t get any and isnt even capable of pleasuring himself

You were a whiny one-off prissy piece of shit that no one cares about, blueblood.

@ApplejackFan204  
To be fair:  
-Torch is probably too big  
-The lack of Season 9 characters seems to suggest the first six episodes to be animated were the pilot, finale, and Common Ground

@Wiimeiser  
Oh yeah. Spur and Biscuit too.
 
And of course:  
Dragon Lord Torch  
The rest of the pony nurses  
That giant turtle thing  
The Bunyip  
The Canterlot Trendsetters  
Fire Flare  
Sans Smirk  
Wrangler, Hard Hat, and Dandy Grandeur  
The Cutie Mark Campers  
Strawberry Sunrise

@ApplejackFan204  
No Spur and Biscuit? And it’s worth noting Clear Sky and Wind Sprint are the only Season 9 characters here, which suggests Common Ground was one of the first episodes to be animated and The Last Problem was also finished early…

Such a depressing list

@ApplejackFan204  
Spur and Biscuit, though I’m not sure of how valid they were…
 
EDIT: In fact, Clear Sky and Wind Sprint are the only Season 9 characters here. Makes me question the order the episodes were animated…

@ApplejackFan204  
“a few” he says.
