How come no one is noticing the severe lack of wendigo's? I thought that was cannon. This whole place should be covered in snow.

[@LittleshyFiM]

Part of the reason I didn't mention them is because EVERYONE is noticing the lack of windigos. It's probably the biggest ongoing discussion about G5. One theory is that they were killed off at the end of season 9. Another is that they can't exist without magic and now that magic is back we should see them return in the special/series. Basically, too much to condense to a simple sin.

This sort of questions can be easily answered by declaring all G4 references, well, references, since these elements don't lose their plot importance if replaced by something referenceless. Such as: legend of pony racial friendship heroes, some old stuff from the times of pony racial friendship, symbol of magic...

[@82dorrin]

There's a story about that on FiMfiction where the Wendigos were dying off because there was so little strife left for them to feed on after the end of season 9. The Princesses helped them change so they could feed on love, like the Changelings. That would eventually backfire, as there'd be nothing stopping ponies from hating each other again.

We've only really come across three cities in the entire region that used to be Equestria, so the population could just be spread out elsewhere, but if the civilizations are as far out as implied, populations aren't nearly as concentrated anymore

[@AngelEmfrbl]

The rest of equesteria is either cut off or in ruins. I think its been confirmed ponyvilles gone. Also no cloudsdale. The pegasi live in canterlot, which looks nothing like the past canterlot and is s lot bigger. On the map of g5, you can see the trail to the crystal empire is broken and its left out. All of the g5 map locations are places that didn't have ponies living there much in the past, or are dramatically different to the past. You can also see clearly no ponyville and other locations. They did not even show locations outside of equesteria , which means the ponies don't know anything beyond the horizon anymore. So, yeah... whatever happened changed equesteris for hood.

[@ConscriptReporting]

Makes sense, considering how the effects of the ponies having no magic could turn them into madness, or maybe the rest of pony kind could be into hiding or imprisoned cause of a certain all-powerful villain maybe? Which gave me the speculation on how the Mane 6 could still be alive, maybe the villain just messed up reality and time and ended up making the modern ponies clueless and imprisoned the og ponies in some statue or some time loop and whatnot Also you cant deny that the lack of none pony creatures is also highly disturbing.

"I'm the last real friend you've got in this town. Do you really want to lose me too?" He was telling her "Hey, what you did is NOT okay, Sunny! You lied to me. I care about you, and I always will. But I will _not_ let you manipulate me like that!" He didn't handle the situation in the best way. Telling Sunny that her dad made up all of that "pony unity stuff" was out of line. But he has boundaries and a spine. Two things you don't see in many male characters.

Honestly, they should've made the crystals items from a scavenger hunt set up by the Elements of Harmony, which her father was studying. Gathering them all could've lead to a time-capsule message from Twilight and the M6, which serves as the spark/inspiration for Sunny. They could've also had a bigger emphasis on Earth Ponies also being magic.

[@yondaime500]

Yeah, it would be cool if joining the crystals triggered a hologram of Twilight (with or without her friends) to deliver a recorded message to the new generation. They could even have had the hologram look directly at Sunny, like a passing of the torch moment, and leave it ambiguous whether it was a coincidence or whether the hologram is somehow alive and aware of her (it's magic, after all). But it doesn't look like they're willing to lean on G4 that much, despite all the little references in the movie.

[@vanivanov9571]

@@yondaime500 Yeah, it was a real pity they didn't do that. Honestly, G4 is a great foundation to lean on, as it gives you a lot of history and background lore and mystery for writers to work off of. The movie in particular could've really done with that to bookend the themes established in the beginning. Sadly, they instead made the G4 elements background fluff, not giving it any real substance in helping the M5.

[@yondaime500]

@@vanivanov9571 We can always hope that they introduce more G4 concepts in the series. They sort of made Sunny really naive in the movie. Her dad knew a lot more about ancient Equestria, but the only things she internalized are "All ponies are meant to be friends" and "It would be great to have a friend who can fly or make stuff float", which is missing the point entirely. But they still needed her to succeed and get that happy ending. Maybe they meant to make her a sort of blank slate, to expand the lore as her character develops, but the movie was too short for that. The problem is that the movie is the only thing we will have to judge G5 on for almost a year, so that leaves a lot of time to overthink and be upset about these shortcomings. And to make matters worse, the movie ending really feels like an ending rather than a beginning (unlike the G4 pilot), so we don't have that many hints for what comes next.

[@vanivanov9571]

​@@yondaime500 Hopefully they do. Still, tragic they didn't improve the movie just a little more, and make it a classic. Something great they could've done, is had the Mane 5 regaining their magic in bursts throughout their journey, and they always happen to have the crystals with them when it happens. Zipp could fly to save Pipp/someone during a storm on the mountains (large storms should be a theme, since the world lost its magic); Pipp could've been the one to participate in the dance (has difficulty, since she's used to dancing by wire), and after encouragement from her friends, her cutiemark activates and she dances up a storm, only to end up flying in excitement; Izzy would see the unicorns and pegasi to leave her friends alone, seeing them being captured, and end up zapping them--gently levitating her friends over to her. You can top this off with the unicorns and pegasi agreeing to let them join the crystals, with the implication there'll be war the moment they do. After the crystals fail to restore magic, the factions decide that only the pony holding the crystal can use it, and so they battle for the crystals. In the end, the unicorns get the pegasus crystal, and the pegasi get the unicorn crystal... and they refuse to trust each other enough to trade. The two groups would separate, the implication being a war for the crystals is about to start. Would've made for some good scenes, and a stronger twist when it turned out it was happenstance.

Well, Hitch kind of taught her something after her stunt at Canterlogic. He let her know that what she did was NOT okay. He knows her intentions are good, but her actions aren't acceptable. "You keep saying there's nothing to be afraid of. Well, prove it!" Makes sense because everyone has been trained to mistrust the other races their whole lives.

Tbh my biggest problem with the movie (and to be clear, I did enjoy it a great deal as a whole) is that Sunny's revelation comes pretty much out of nowhere. There's no "spark" moment like when Twilight heard her new friends coming to back her up; we go from the elements breaking, narratively speaking, straight to the lecture with no reason for her to have suddenly figured all this out. Unless part of the lighthouse hit her in the head and knocked it loose, maybe.

[@vanivanov9571]

[@EmeralBookwise]

I think that moment is less about any "spark" and more just about finally being out of options. Up to this point Sunny had thought magic would be the solution to all their problems. After having tried the quick fix twice now to no avail, however, she just falls back on the only thing she has left, her own steadfast belief that the different kinds of ponies are all supposed to live together as friends. The fact her impassioned speech turns out to be the catalyst that finally triggers the crystals is more incidental.

[@alexatkin]

@@EmeralBookwise Plus we have no reason to believe these crystals would behave the same as the elements of harmony. What are they? Who created them and why? Are they imbued with the spirit of Twilight herself perhaps? Will they even bother to tell us in the series?

[@EmeralBookwise]

@@alexatkin:. Indeed, though as to question of where these new crystals came from there's no reason for us to expect immediate answers. For three whole seasons of G4 the elements of harmony where just mysterious artifacts of power with unkown origins before the tree of harmony was introduced. Where that came from was then just as much a mystery until yet a later season when it was revealed the pillars of harmony, the predasesors to Twilight and friends, had planted those "seeds".

[@EmeralBookwise]

@@vanessadiviak6201: she isn't actually an alicorn. It's just a temporary power up. Sorta like the Mane-Six's rainbow powers they used to defeat Tirek. Leaked screen shots of the upcoming special have shown her still as an earth pony, without the glowing wings & horn.

[@nannymouse2180]

Yes! As much as I enjoyed this movie, the fact that Sunny basically gets her alicorn upgrade handed to her really bothers me. Before "Twighlight" became an alicorn, she had been shown to have exceptional magic skills and she worked extremely diligently to refine them; she had also been learning about friendship, making mistakes and recovering from them, and fighting off bad guys for three whole seasons. We saw her and her friends grow up to the task. In later seasons, we also saw her not being good enough to replace Princess Celestia just yet and learning some more before actually becoming the reign of Equestria. The Elements of Harmony were also really well established and made it clear that all 6 of the friends are equally important for friendship magic to work. Sunny, on the other hand, had no reason to become the sole alicorn in the group. She didn't do an ounce more than her friends to accomplish the mission and she didn't grow as a person. In fact, Izzy stepped out of her comfort zone much further than Sunny did by actually visiting earth ponies. Hitch was a much better leader who had the ability to think quickly and who actually weighed the risks of the mission. Sunny wasn't even particularly skilled, she didn't really work hard, she was blissfully unaware of other ponies, and she was clueless throughout the entire movie - it was wild guessing and dumb luck all along. She only became an alicorn because she "believed" or something - which everyone else did.

[@82dorrin]

Hitch needs to be an Alicorn. He's awesome

[@Raska_chan]

To me it makes sense, after all she went and tried as best as she could to help everyone and make magic appears again. She is the one that wanted everyone to be reunited too as she believed that twilight and her friends actually existed. As well as the father knowing everything, he might told sunny a lot about the old era

[@elephantskingdom1671]

While I do agree with you, don't think we should put a full soul set judgment on Sunny just yet. Remember, there is a series they're making to the movie. And she might improve in her character development then. Plus I don't think the wings and horn are permanent, sense they are see-through and magic and all. Maybe they're pre-set wings until she actually earns her real wings and horn. We don't know. We'll just have to wait and see.

[@Keemperor40K]

Despite all the problems when you really start to think about how things work in this world, it's still a pretty enjoyable movie. But yeah, some things are pretty contrived. The crystals not working, even when all three were together, was pretty obvious. It was always going to be something with the ponies themselves, not the crystals.

6:30 I'd say that not wanting to live a lie is a pretty relatable sentiment, that doesn't really need an explanation. In any case, it's funny how you say that all main characters have to be flawlessly virtuous, but at the end you say that Sunny achieved her goals through deception and theft. In fact, Zipp herself decided to backstab her own family based on a wild guess from a pony she'd just met. The problem is not that they don't take morally questionable actions, or that they do, but that they get away with it. Sunny at least throws a halfhearted apology to Queen Haven and Alphabittle, but it sounds like she's mostly sorry that her plan didn't work. Zipp doesn't even do that.

[@frostfeather6584]

The sunny thing is different because they treat her theft as flawlessly virtuous because she’s in the right. Like you said, she gets away with it. Zip is also seen as virtuous because she chose friendship over “toxic” family members. (Also no, I wouldn’t say “not wanting to live a lie” means you’re ok with ruining your sister’s event to steal from your mother. The issue is she has no reason to ‘not want to live a lie’ she doesn’t talk to anyone but her family who treat it as a good thing. All of the town believe it’s a good thing, so Where would she get the idea that it’s bad to be fake?)

A little sin you missed: How does a city princess like Zipp know how to make a fire? When or where would she have had the need to know so?

[@yondaime500]

That one kind of makes sense. Princes in real life usually have military training, which naturally includes survival skills. Also, the pegasi have always been a "mighty tribe of warriors" (in the words of Commander Hurricane) and Zipp looks like she wants to keep those roots alive. She likely spends as much time in the wild as she can get away with.

[@johnsmith5255]

Well, you do have to consider that, like in Celestia and Luna's case, she's the exact opposite of her sister. She prefers sneaking away from her 'princessing' when possible, is never seen doing stage performances and social media stuff, enjoys exploring abandoned places, is a parkor/gymnastics buff, etc. The thought of her going on solo 'survivalist' camping trips when no one is looking is not outside the realm of possibility.

I only wish there was a bigger element of how there’s a sort of “magic” in the earth ponies as well. Like, that was the whole point of the climax, about how there’s a third earth pony-crystal, but after that plan doesn’t work that whole thought gets abandoned entirely and Sunny turns into an alicorn because apparently there’s nothing magical about earth ponies. At least in G4, even though it wasn’t as clear as “flying” or “telekinesis,” they still tried to credit earth ponies with being stronger and better at farm work. There’s none of that uniqueness for earth ponies in this film.

[@nameynamd9212]

Unless I read it from a false source or misremember it, there was a mention that all races would have proper magic(I'm guessing something more notable or actively used as earth ponies already had magic, just by far the most passive magic from the three races)

@@pcdeltalink036 Yeah, _that_ was petty. That being said, bigotry itself is petty, so it's just par for the course. Alphabittle was so used to winning that he couldn't accept a loss, and of course, having been the one to egotistically give his opponent the edge, he couldn't retroactively take back the alteration of the standard rules. So when Sunny's fake horn came off, he saw an opportunity to default the situation. Sure, technically it's not a unicorn-only cafe. The only reason unicorns are the only patrons are because of the keep out signs around Bridlewood and the attitude the unicorns would have toward non-unicorns. So while not technically forbidden, what unicorn would support the non-unicorn who pretended to be one of them over the one who was actually their kind?

I feel like they could have had more in this movie. I just don't feel like after gen 4, this gen would be so, well, "racist" lol. And where is Twilight? If she was a alicorn wouldn't she still be around? And what about Celestia? Luna? Cadence? Flurry Heart? Discord? And why was the villain, not a actual villain?? I wish we had some REAL threat. Here is my thought on a better plot. After gen 4, (we are gonna stick with them hating each other) Sunny does her whole song in the beginning, goes to the convention, and does her whole speech. Then discouraged she leaves her home to venture off on her own and prove them wrong. (Instead of her best friend tryna arrest her i feel he should have been looking for her, worried for her sake.) Sunny finds Izzy in the woods, they become friends and make a plan to make peace with the unicorns and earth ponies before heading to the peagus to make peace with them too. While they do that, some kind of threat should be starting. Like a villain from the original gen 4 show. Or maybe someone new? Maybe even Grogar? Then the plot can go from their. At the end it should be all the ponies coming together to stop the villain and save everyone. And then at the end becoming closer then ever. There was so much potential in this movie!! I just wished it had carrie out better. But!! I do like the movie. LIKE. It's not my favorite. Tbh i would take gen 4s movie anytime over this one. No hate! Just an opinion. Lmk what you think.

[@frostfeather6584]

Could also add that izzy is in the woods and was cast out by the others for being different, or some other reason, just give izzy a real reason to leave instead of her venturing into a town she knows wouldn’t be stoked about her arrival? I would think if the main villain was grogar we could even have him reveal that he tore the ponies apart somehow or stole their magic the way tirek did. Magic fading because friendship faded makes no sense because we know friendship has faded MANY times before even across the pony racial lines and magic never disappeared. Maybe zip doesn’t actually want to help them but when she’s revealed to be a fake and is now on the run, she hesitantly follows them and learns about friendship. This way she doesn’t randomly have an issue with being a fake flier.

And now, a thousand years later (give or take), the tribes are all split up and separated again based on biases and misinformation, inferring that ponykind either forgot their history, or didn't even bother to record it in the history books, which means that ponykind will inevitably f*ck itself up like this millennium after millennium in an endless cycle of learning nothing from and/or disregarding their past mistakes.

At the least there had to be flurry heart, she’s the youngest it would’ve made sense for her to live this long if alicorns don’t live forever! Not to mention, how tf are they all still alive?? The show literally had an arc where all the magic was stolen and everyone absolutely looked to be at the brink of death despite the fact that it lasted for, what, three days? Even the earth ponies, they couldn’t grow food, wouldn’t everyone starve by now? Also, with all this animosity, why are the windigos not there, making the entire land a frozen wasteland? These are just a few that don’t even have anything to do with the movie, there are a billion other questions I can pull up looking back at the show that would question this movie and prove this is a fanfiction with a budget and animation. Sorry that I’m angry, I grew up with mlp, and this wouldn’t be the first time a show or movie I find nostalgic has a disrespectful sequel, like atla with fricking Korra, if you enjoy Korra as a show, fine, but you can’t argue the fact that DOESNT follow up with rules of the universe of its predecessor (where are the turtle ducks?! 😭). For the love of god, watch the original before making a continuation!

Honestly tho my friends made fun of me for going on and on about everything wrong with the movie💀💀

[@evergreenthequeen]

There’s a comment at the top explaining the wendigos. Basically they thrive off of magic and bc there is no magic, they all disappeared.

[@Selkie_17]

​@@evergreenthequeen but cutie marks are also made of magic and yet they very clearly have cutie marks that works. Aka Hitch having connections to animals and Izzy being creative with crafting things. If there truly wasn't magic not only wouldn't there be cutie marks but the fate of equestria depends on magic to bring day and night. This entire world should have been a desert wasteland long ago

[@devonm042690]

Phyllis told Toots and Sweets to turn the demo off before Hitch did, so clearly she knew there was an override of some kind. That makes sense given she's the face of Canterlogic. Given the look of the red switch on the side of Sweets' control console, it's a standard on/off switch where the on position would be marked with a line and the off with a circle (or is that the other way around?). Did Sweets forget in the panic of the situation? Or was he pretending to not know how to turn it off out of some petty desire to have Sunny humiliated?

[@82dorrin]

Despite not liking Sunny or her ideas, Phyllis *still* didn't want her to get hurt.

[@devonm042690]

[@EmeralBookwise]

I must sin you for calling out the shipping bait scene between Izzy/Sunny, but completely missing the one between Izzy/Zipp. No seriously, rewatch the scene where Zipp comes to visit them in the dungeon. Izzy excitedly trips over her own words trying to figure out what title of address to use. Then when introducing herself she slowly enunciates her own name like she was trying to make an impression while flashing some of the cutest bedroom eyes.

[@82dorrin]

And the Hitch-Zipp shipping bait. "Huh! Look at that! The Sheriff just became a detective" In a flirty voice. "You need some backup, Sheriff?" Again in a flirty voice. Then she leaps into action with him trying to take down Sprout's mech.

[@wheeliebin1791]

The mystery of their magnetic hooves is the only flaw I'm unwilling to forgive. In G4, the fact they could somehow grip things didn't bother me because of the cartoony, marshmallow-y look. But in the film, with realistic looking hooves, it looks so weird. They straight up pick things up without any fingers. How??

[@user-dl3vn8ze9n]

Well, they couldn't use mouths because it looked weird in 3D, so this is what we got. XD

There's also the fact that there's no dragons, no Kiren/Nerik, no griffins, no hippogriffs, it's just ponies races at war with each other for no reason.

[@Adamkalb1]

Good point. That was always a hugely baffling mystery to me whenever I watched My Little Pony: A New Generation. Perhaps it was most obvious at the beginning when Spike did not get to appear with Mane Six ponies.

[@hickorydickoryproductions4165]

I guess that considering even without magic pegasi still have perfectly trained armed forces and unicorns have what can basically be knives on their heads they're less afraid to actually confront each other compared to the sheep-level cowardice of most of Maretime Bay's earth ponies. also can we just talk about how it seems everypony that isn't a mane character has basically the same personality depending on their pony type? the earth ponies are all too scared to actually *harm* the other races and would rather run, the pegasi are all "OHMIGOD DA ROYALTY" until they all decide they want the queen and princesses dead when the lie's revealed, and the unicorns are all the stereotypical emo.

[@Chrono_Mitsurugi]

Hey you know that other pony show that lasted nine seasons about the magic of friendship? Everyone from it is now dead and none of their lessons are remembered. The world of Equestria is a dark and depressing place.

something i found pretty unsatisfying was how the pacing was, it felt kinda rushed and just plot convenience everywhere lol but yes an amazing movie!

[@evergreenthequeen]

Right? Like Sunny and Izzy comes across royal Pegasus sisters and one of them gets angry bc she’s not popular anymore and a few minutes later she’s like “This earth pony stole my mom’s crown and exposed us but ima go w them anyways and support Sunny and be her best friend even though we just met while they were dangerous prisoners and trying to break into our city” They probably didn’t want to make it 2 or 3 hours long but come on now💀

Netflix can never convince me that even with the pegasi's aerodynamically correct set of wings, they can only fly with magic.

Why do Pegasus even Need Magic? They can already move their wings even without it why do they even Need it?

[@nameynamd9212]

@@Doriburu8380 It's a bit strange as while the draining of magic didn't disable flight, it also didn't undo any fusing from a manticore or chimera, so the world's specifics might be what allows flight

[@JewelPatriciaYzhaManuelTayam]

ANOTHER MISTAKE here in G5 is that the moon and sun is rising by themselves, I mean like doesn't only rise high enough when an alicorn uses magic to rise it? And who controls the weather if pegasus can't fly to control the weather??💀💀💀

[@AniDex]

For those wondering why the movie didn't answer certain questions and such: In a recent interview the director said they hadn't set in stone yet why the three groups went their separate ways, and the lack of magic for som long is why we don't see any magical creatures aside from the ponies. Since there's a another special and a series coming out next year, it was really smart of them to not set everything in stone and to not answer every question in this new movie. It really allows for the show writers to have plenty of room to develop a story the way they want and not be boxed in. (The director of the movie isn't working on the series)

[@Corrector1]

It's not smart because it leaves the new generation with a weak foundation. It also undermines the movie itself because the question of what happened is too distracting. There's not even any guarantee that the show will dive into what happened, and the fact that such important questions weren't worked out from the start isn't a good sign.

[@nameynamd9212]

@@Corrector1 Honestly became a question of what viewers outside those that had previous knowledge of this franchise found intriguing enough to continue being interesting(there's certainly some interest in how an individual uncovers the world of precursors if Horizon is any indication of that)

This movie feels so disconnected from G4 and all of MLP for that matter How much time has past for ponies to forget all that twilight and her friends have done It also makes so many questions as well that it feels like the story was mostly half baked and the writers were told to base it off of G4 Some questions I had were: Where are the wendigo’s? Why is Twilight gone? Alicorns seem to live for a long time. Since Twilight is gone how long has it really been for her to potentially die? Where are the other creatures like Dragons, changelings, yaks, griffins, and hippogriff/ seaponies? Why are we just hearing about the pony crystals? If they were so important why haven’t we ever heard of them at all? G5 makes so many plot holes in an attempt to pick up where G4 left off It would have been better if it just was a new take on the world of MLP or an alternate universe It caring on could have worked too if it wasn’t for the fact that we have no understanding of why the three tribes split up (again…) Maybe in the show it will be explained but I don’t have high hopes

[@CamilaHernandez-kw6zr]

4:30 yes. Very tragic. Also I have another thing that doesn’t make sense : How come no earth pony had a problem trash talking about Princess Celestia, Luna, and Cadence? They were alicorns, a mix of the both types which they *HATE* ? It just doesn’t make sense since they took so much time to accept each other, yet they never had a single issue with alicorns ( excluding twilight ). It just doesn’t make sense at all.

Anyone going to talk about the fact that the entire mane six is canonically long dead, but alicorns are immortal? What happened to Twilight? Is she dead too? How did this happen? Even if she just retired, where is she? Wouldn’t she have found someone to succeed her who would have kept the idea of Harmony alive?

[@CyberWarezz05]

My biggest problem with this movie was that Sunny became an Alicorn.Not why, but how:so you can say that she was the"bridge"for all of them to become friends, but when the crystals didn't fuse, she was the first that gave up.plus, Izzy believed in "friends from other species"also, and at some points, you can say she had more motivation than Sunny, yet Sunny is portrayed as the best to become an Alicorn.

[@tiniwhiffles]

In most movies, I don’t think there’s a need for a ‘how’ when the protagonist/main character gets an upgrade. It’s just because they ARE the main character, therefore they get whatever prize it is for their ‘effort’.
