Absolutely understandable. No hard feelings from my side. I’m not too big a fan of it myself, but I probably should have mentioned that I like it here because of my comment about the image.
Sunny’s glitter is OP, please nerf! Nah, just kiddin’. ;-D
I mean, I still don’t know if, or if not my theory is correct that Hasbro will try to combine as many of these, let’s say “individual parts”, that the G5 brand currently consists of, together. We will probably only see that with the show, respectively how much retcon Hasbro will do in the future. ^^
But let’s assume for a second that everything in TYT, the comics, and so on actually draws from the same canon, then I stand by my statement: Sunny’s Glitter has the potential of fissile uranium. And I don’t know what to think about that. (grin)

You have the right attitude as usual, good sir. The thing with MLP is it’s so decentralized that it’s pointless to bicker about what’s canon and what’s not. It’d be naive to think that G5 is always going to play by G4 rules.
Thanks! And exactly! I see it the same way. ;-)
It is kinda neat learning how Alicorn magic works through Sunny. Seems that a lot of it has to do with having a complete sense of self: The swag she gets from Pipp, the bravery from Zipp, the inspiration from Izzy, the compassion from Hitch, and her belief in herself, among other things, coming together all at once at the right time.
I actually hadn’t thought about it that much, but yes. In principle, it is (once again) to bring the elements together. Just a little different. I just don’t know if it’s just supposed to feel like G4, or if there won’t even be a direct connection to G4 at some point. I’m still worried about that statement regarding the dragons. They haven’t been seen in generations. I mean, we’ll probably never get an accurate timeline, but we don’t have to in my opinion. I like (by now) when a show goes more in the direction of just showing things instead of explaining them in a big way. And thus leaves room for interpretation.
I’m guessing the glitter side effect is caused by Izzy’s influence.
Stimmt. You’re probably right about that. (grin) ^^

I can’t quite put my finger on it, I just know that the glitter is a metaphor for something. Izzy uses it to “uni-cycle” or make things new. Maybe it’s a bi-product of Sunny making new magic… Or maybe I’m stretching it here! Hehe.
I agree with DarkObsidian. There will be inconsistencies aplenty and that is because there is no single visionary driving the bus. MLP is a collective. It’s hundreds or even thousands of creative people bringing their ideas to the table. I’m okay with that. It’s what keeps it interesting. At the end of day what matters to me are cute little colorful horses being themselves, loving life, being funny and adorable and sexy and awesome. Whatever happens in NewGen going forward I know it will be good, because it checks off all the boxes.

Congrats on being the first post on the 10th page of this thread! It has come a long way since it was first started last year.
As for the hairstyle, I really do hope that it appears in MyM. It doesn’t need to, of course, but it would be a really nice reference to the TyT shorts.

Honestly, I like the way that each of the characters that Sunny has befriended visibly impact the way her abilities work. It shows how friendship is literally giving her magic, which was the name of the game in FiM. I also love your theory of the glitter being an influence from Izzy. I didn’t think of it myself when I was watching the episode, but looking back on it it makes perfect sense. After all, Izzy is obsessed with glitter, that’s something we have known since the ‘a New Generation’ movie aired last year. It makes me wonder what the solution to avoiding that will be going forward.
Another thing: I never considered the fact that Sunny’s G5 Alicorn abilities don’t follow the same rules as Twilight’s Alicorn abilities in G4. I was having so much fun watching her stop freaking TIDAL WAVES with her magic that I never considered how it compared to G4. Regardless, I think you are right about this as well, Pinto: G4 was never really consistent with itself, frequently retconning knowledge that we got in past episodes (as well as things that came in the comics). So for that reason I am still really excited to see what G5 does going forward, especially in ‘Make your Mark’.
And I love 2D Alicorn Sunny. I think they did an amazing job recreating her powers in 2D. In some ways I think I prefer it to her 3D form, since in 2D she looks more vibrant than in 3D.

Call me light-hearted and far too uncritical. But I love Sunny. Much! (Second to Izzy) And I already love her path to becoming an Alicorn Princess. Although I’m a G4 hardcore fan, I want to know more about how Alicorns are made. Even if Alicorn Issues A.) doesn’t really work well with the previous “lore” and B.) and the whole thing sheds a whole new light on Alicorns at all.
But I really like G5 so far. It’s not perfect. Neither was G4. Still I love the way MLP is playing with expectations at the moment and what it is actually implementing. I just wonder what all the glitter is all about. And when Sunny dissolves a tidal wave into thin air… Is this their way of doing a Thanos finger snap? Holy f**k! Celestia and Luna COULD have done something. COUGH! ;-D

Definitely agree with this. I feel like they should have done more to show Twilight helping other ponies around Ponyville on a day to day basis. When she was suddenly thrust into the role of leader of Equestria after having run a school for a season, it really felt out of place, as if it wasn’t fully earned. I can imagine the ending wasn’t even fully planned out as the showrunners didn’t know when Hasbro planned on pulling the plug on FiM, so they may have had a completely different plan altogether for S9 and possibly plans for S10 as well.
The fact that they are showing Sunny training to use her powers, though, gives me hope that she will have a more natural transition than Twilight did, and she will have more time to just be a normal pony as opposed to being a pseudo god as Twilight was at the end of S9.

IMO, the weakest part of FiM’s handling of Twilight becoming an alicorn princess was that it was intended to be a “she lived happily ever after” series-ending moment. There was no plan to build up to it and, far worse, no plan on how to follow up. As I always say, my favorite parts of S4 were the parts where Twilight outright says something like “WTF? What do I do as a princess?” or “let’s just pretend I’m a normal pony”.
Let’s hope that we get more scenes of Sunny learning to fly & levitate this fall.
