Tbh, yeah. Bringing them back for even a flashback wouldn’t make any sense. And for what purpose exactly. Besides, their VA’s confirmed that they’re not returning for future G5 projects. Heck I don’t think any character from G4 should come back. It really wouldn’t make any sense. G5 should stay in its lane. This is why G5 should have been a true reboot and not a “sequel”.

Hmmm, I don’t see Hasbro replacing iconic characters. Plus, with whatever timeline G5 is in, I highly doubt the characters are even alive. Brining back old characters would just steal the spotlight for the new characters. I don’t see Hasbro doing that at all. Also, most, if not all old locations are non-existent. So whatever old charas there once was possibly don’t exist either. From what I’ve heard from someone who is partnered with Hasbro, all you’re gonna get are callbacks to old locations. That’s it; nothing G4 is gonna come back because that would steal the show.

Because those animations are just test animations uses for testing out the models and to get a feel of how the characters act. The reason Sprout gets one along with the mane cast is because he’s the villain of the film, which means he would need to have animation tests done for him too since he’d get more screen time compared to the other non-mabe cast members.
The promo stuff was probably just marketing stuff they forgot/never used, I don’t see how that would mean that it would include him getting a redemption arc in the show, and since they’ve already announced the voices for the show, and Sprout was not mentioned at all, chances are he’s not gonna have a big role in the series (or at least not as big as his movie one)
Apparently the link to the source was in the image that I linked. https://vimeo.com/645799026 According to the description “Some marketing shots I’ve done on My Little Pony New Generation. The goal was to show character personality. Sheriff Hitch - self-confident, egocentric guy, Deputy Sporut - rather grumpy, cowardly pony.”
Sprout really had marketing material but was never used. My theory still stands. He’s like the green ninja from Ninjago. His redemption arc hasn’t happened yet in the series (because it hasn’t aired yet) so they can’t promote him because it becomes a spoiler.

The only characters that could live are Twilight, Spike, Flurry and maybe Cadence and certain dragons. Everyone else is dead.

GM Berrow always had some deep lore in her writing. It will be interesting to see what she brings to the table in this series. Seeing old Spike would be a blast.

will actually those crystals are probably more then just her magic, it’s a possibility that they’re all that’s left of the mane 6, also i hope to see sunny making contact with the mane 6 for guidance with those crystals, much like how avatar aang did with his past lives in THE LAST AIRBENDER series, if you seen the series that is.

That’s because there was a spell in the crystals. The fact that these are not activated when put together suggests that it is not just raw magic there, but a “key”. And we know that Twilight Sparkle is the element of Magic, and her cutie mark is attached to the three crystals. So it is of course her greatest and most refined spell that may have been put into the crystals that in an inactive world remain active. Then it meant that six elements had to be added. The first three are of course the crystals. The last three are friendship, forgiveness - and hope. Sunny was chosen as the future alicorn because her element is Hope, only she could activate the spell.
It is possible that pony magic was not stored in the crystals, but in an alternate dimension that was “unlocked” with Twilight’s key that only Sunny could use. And that may be why she is the guardian of “the unity crystals”, not only is she concerned with the lore about the past, she is possibly the only one who can use them. Although she probably does not know. Anyway, her first title as the upcoming alicorn is “The Guardian of the Unity Crystals”
The first non-pony, a dragon that appeared to be newly hatched, suggests that it was pony magic that hatched the egg, and she may have been found one of the ponies before Sunny discovered it. Most magical beings in Equus have inactive and internal magic which means they can avoid the loss of magic, and since chimera creatures are seen in the Zephyr Hills as Cloudpuff it means that the chimera people like griffons may have survived the loss of active magic.
Do not think we will see mass extinction. A little too extreme. But we know there are 12 states in ancient Equestria that have survived, and it is possible that some of the states are non-pony states. And the pegasi probably has a large empire in contact with other states, technology, logistics and building materials suggest it. 90-95% of the town itself on the Zephyr Hills is not sourced locally. And we know the pegasi are not the type to stay at home, they are too energetic and militaristic to ignore the rest of the world. They lived in fear of the other ponies because they knew about their capacities while they themselves had lost their advantages. They did not know, as the movie revealed, that everyone was equally affected even if there were suspicions. They will have less fear of non-ponies.
It may be interesting if Sunny finds more unpleasant aspects of the empire the pegasi maintain. After all, she must learn about the world, about her friends, herself and to become Twilight Sparkle’s successor sometime in the future.

I don’t have any problem with the schedule because I always have things to do. It’s hard for me to find time for watching a movie or reading a book. At least this makes all this waiting much more relaxing.

I think the G5, apart from the special, is gonna get two series (Make your Mark and Tell your Tale) because they want to try two different approaches in two different shows. One is gonna be more focused on the comedy and slice-of-life style and the other one will have the adventure tone of the movie from 2021.
If that happens to be true, then I’m totally in. Combining two approaches in one show would just overcomplicate things like we saw in MLP:FiM. Sometimes the Mane 6 are going in an adventure that suggests some continuity and, in the middle of it, we just see them having a goof time in Ponyville, as if the adventure didn’t actually exist or continuity didn’t exist. Because of this, I think having two shows with different purposes is gonna be better for everyone.
Now there’s an interesting idea. I could also get behind that if the 2D shorts have some meaningful effort behind them, and aren’t handled as mindless fluff.

there’s the slim chance that only Unicorns, Pegasi and Earth Ponies’ magic was gone (and that the characters thought all magic in Equestria was gone for not knowing better). Non-pony characters and non-sapient magical creatures may be living elsewhere with their magic intact.
That actually makes sense because there were crystals for each pony race only. Following that that logic would not mean that there are also dragon, changeling, etc. crystals too?

I expect MYM to be essentially FIM in terms of storytelling. It’s still gonna be light with a lot of slice of life and probably won’t take story arcs too seriously. I’m fine with that though, and am looking forward to it, but (tangent incoming) I’m unhappy that the release schedule (several episodes at once? on a Monday?) will probably deprive me of the enjoyment of going into it fresh and with others.

I’m gonna focus on Make your Mark because I rarely got episodes where the Mane 6 were going in an adventure.

Based on what Sunny said in the movie, the magic didn’t really look like it came from the crystals at all. Its why no matter how many times they tried to stick the three rocks together, nothing ever happened.
It kind of looked like the crystals played some role, maybe. Either way, it seems kind of unlikely that the magic going away for so long wouldn’t have had some impact on the Tree of Harmony (and by extension the elements).

@Phoenixflambe
Correct. My issue is just how some folks want everything from G4 to come back. The other major example beyond the “rule of six” on my mind is bringing back other species. We’ve got dragons coming back (at least in the toys), and I’m sure more species will appear in animation as time goes on, but bringing back the myriad species of FIM and/or fleshing them out further as many want could compromise storytelling IMO.
As long as they aren’t assholes about it (which again is rare), folks can do whatever they want with fan content.
EDIT: By the way, good comic recommendation. Thanks for that.

there’s also i suppose the possibility that the sun or moon didn’t always have to be manhandled manually. After all, how did they rise and fall before ponies we around, let along the royal sisters. Maybe they just gone back to the way things were, but at this point it’s just a theoretical but nonetheless out there possibility.

Grumpy and antisocial
I just realized that there might be a pretty mundane explanation for two of the biggest questions in G5 (how Cutie Marks keep showing up and why the sun and moon rise/set by themselves). First, there’s the slim chance that only Unicorns, Pegasi and Earth Ponies’ magic was gone (and that the characters thought all magic in Equestria was gone for not knowing better). Non-pony characters and non-sapient magical creatures may be living elsewhere with their magic intact. And about the sun and moon thing: Alicorns probably are just extremely long-lived, not immortal. When Celestia and Luna passed on, their magic probably went to the celestial bodies they controlled. Or, alternatively, the device they gave Twilight Sparkle in Between Dark and Dawn somehow eventually helped the sun and moon rise/set without any magical intervention.

I hope you did understand but if you didn’t, I meant the prologue of the actual Mane 6, and actual random but familiar characters replacing them like I don’t know Flyflutter as the guardian of kindness that’s clearly an expy of Fluttershy

Replace Mane 6 with other ponies and it’ll still work fine
Not just any random pony replacements. But replacements that call back to the 6 original ponies of g4. Hitch’s animal powers references Fluttershy. Zipp is an athletic flyer pegasus referencing Rainbow Dash. People immediately called Izzy as the Pinkie Pie reference. Even Sprout is hinted to be referencing Applejack because he was called Sugar Cube several times in the movie.
