I see. You think Cozy Glow is just a filly. Sure. Hasbro, a company that cares so much about little girls, would totally decide to turn a ‘little girl’ into stone. They don’t have power over the cartoon. That’s why so many things were changed or prevented. Let me give you an idea: Cozy is an adult in a filly’s body. There. Do I have proof? No but neither do you.

I love how ‘everyone’ assumes we already know magic disappeared in the first place when we don’t even have a clue yet. I love this fandom so much. There are so many genius in it.

You’re right. She just sent the mane six to Tartarus to be stuck there for all eternity and tried to destroy magic forever. She did nothing wrong.

My theory is that all of G5 is in an alternate timeline where the finale of G4 played out differently and Princess Twilight had failed to unify the pony races, which could be confirmed by the fact that the writing process for G5 started before that of the finale. Perhaps she would gather all of the world’s magic so the tribes would have no reason to hate one another, but I guess that ended up backfiring.
Personally, though, one alternative option could have been to make everypony an alicorn.

It’s very forced to have a single dark shadowy unicorn be able to make all the ponies hate each other after the series proper showed that there was a lot of work put into having every race, not just ponies, learn to get along. Understand each others cultures and embrace their differences. Whether or not the ponies are just “stupid” or whatever, this diminishes a major theme of the show and comics, as well as the character’s work. It also bugs me that this is happening so late in the series because even in the beginning there wasn’t this kind of discrimination within pony culture (correct me if I’m wrong).
Also, Twilight apparently gathered “all the world’s magic”. To affect just the ponies. Why did she need to gather the entire world’s magic? Was she just… not concerned about the other races? Making ponies the center of the world again.
And really, doing this is just further preventing G5 from having its own identity. There’s no point in having it take place thousands of years in the future if its events are just going to be tied back to the G4 era. They could have made new characters to do this. Start filling in that gap in history.
Well, I can only hope that these comics really aren’t canon and the show will have better history and explanations. All these different mediums are confusing the timeline a bit for me.

Bionicle was LEGENDARY.
Also the “it’s just an ad for toys” is a weak excuse and claims G4’s success was because we liked the toys for 10 years and nothing else.

yes but no, because in the case of the king sombra it was when the comics were neither canon nor relevant and later the comics began to be canon and to have connections with the central series but not being indispensable (the series directly ignored the reformed shadow same as the comics but the comics did not ignore the events of the series so as not to create plot holes)
that is the problem, that now if they want to connect and be something relevant or important the comics and things like bringing an old discord, explaining the origin of the crystals and how the chaos started while in the animated and what is the main thing they bring? villain OC alicorn?

kind of like how the comics reformed sombra But was still evil when he returned in the show.
The comics also showed us the dazzlings Banishment and end the show showed us a completely different version

So why do they put such important data and put interesting or important plots in comics if they are not going to matter or since they are made by different people then it is going to be irrelevant?
before they could do what they wanted but they didn’t put important things about the series in the comics (imagine that twilight had become an alicorn in the comics and not in the series and appears in the next season as an alicorn)

This time it is different because a doubt or question that is asked in make your mark is: who created the crystals? and here we see that the comics clearly say that it is twilight who created them so… unless they ignore their own comic yes or if they will have to answer it like that in the series

If it was so simple, then why did I manage to create such a huge fan base? I say if that was all it was about, people would have forgiven transformers for example for making those mistakes and would never have failed

You really are overthinking this.
Remember that it’s an ad for toys.
Now I’m thinking of Mel Brooks’s lines on “moichandising” from Spaceballs. Are you saying it’s where the real money from the comic is made or something?

@Ciaran
Perhaps one theory is that this is set in an alternate G5 where Twilight had failed to unify the pony races at the end of the saga, so perhaps she’s doing this out of a knee-jerk reflex to force everyone to remain together because her speech did nothing, even though it only makes everyone worse.
Though if you ask me, perhaps she could have simply turned everypony into an alicorn and gotten rid of the concept of pony race altogether.

Or maybe someone thought it would be nice if the voice talent from G4 got a cut of the movie revenue. Hell, they even managed to update their trademarks for basically free, avoiding the mistakes they made with some of the G1 and G2 assets.

It fits with modern writing; “destroy and slander the heroes who worked hard for a positive outcome, they weren’t “really” all that good and were total idiots, not like our NEW protagonist who never makes any mistakes and is perfect from birth in every way.”

It is the worst of all, and if it is Hasbro’s fault because by force it wanted to link g5 as a sequel to g4 when it was thought of as a separate story, if it were separate and those who committed the bad acts or mistakes were others that we do not care about It would be perfect and interesting to think who those were and not that the fault lies with the protagonists that they developed for 10 almost 11 years
