    Woke won't work in a fictional society where the leaders are mainly female characters holding all the power of authority. Instead woke would sound more like oppressing someone stepping out of line for a point of view. If there was to be a woke agenda in Equestrian society, then there would need to be a more gender based re-balancing of authority in a girl's focused cartoon or a separate stereotypical antagonist group to be the target. We should be a bit worried about outside influences on a property. Another property Hasbro owns Magic the Gathering simply banned cards because art, name, and flavor text was deemed offensive rather than being broken game play wise.

    If I was to expect something to happen, it be more Neighsay like characters. Neighsay from Season 8 was a character reflecting off the current political climate of that time. They took a reasonable stance of Equestrian's kingdom security and history of crises that could challenge Twilight's stance to open up to the other creature kingdoms. Since Neighsay was opposing Twilight's view, rather than have a reasonable debate they made him a racist. Reasonably, it would be normal for people who had their country overthrow or going through many crisis caused by foreigners to be wary of them.

    In the first two episodes of the season, Neighsay did hold Twilight accountable for the mismanagement of her school and the new Mane 6 accident. He's an obstacle with an opposing view, but hasn't done anything deceptive, underhanded, or abuse of their power against Twilight and co. Just having an opinion that challenges or goes against the main characters own opinion isn't enough to warrant a character as a villain.

    Neighsay wasn't really a villain. He just had opposing view points and concerns given the prior history, that the show never addressed. Plus he was holding Twilight accountable for mismanagement. I think he was made to play on the current political climate at that time.

    While FIM is more black and white, G5 could go more shades of grey for everyone. Characters are given more leeway to swing between being nice and naughty. The Mane 6 doesn't always have to be the paragons of their element or have to answer the beckon call of Twilight's new cause, for example. Failure is an option to further extend a conflict, like not being able to make a friend on the first try.

    The joke of being a background pony seems to stem from AJ being the most content character out of the Mane 6. She really has no defining goal to work towards in her long term development compared to some of the other Mane 6, except the farm but that's a gimme. TS has the princess of friendship. Rarity expanding her business. RD joining the Wonderbolts. FS over her shyness.

    For someone who isn't heavy into the fandom, the episode made the Mane 6 come off as they live in a bubble. What caught them by surprise is the difference in thought and opinion they're not used to dealing with

    Caught the episode again for a few minutes. One of the weakest parts of the second part is how quick the Changlings just accept Thorax as their new leader in a span of a few minutes of special effects and Celestia had to explain what just happened. This was right after Queen said Thorax was a traitor to the hive. Seems odd why would the drones listen to either Thorax or Starlight. Sure the drones are always hungry but the Queen was keeping the Hive surviving for a long time.

    Freaky Friend Day: Twilight Sparkle wakes up one morning inhabiting the body of a lesser well known Earth Pony who is bad at making friends. Twilight without her magic and status as the Princess of Friendship has to make use of her knowledge to make friends to help her get back to her body. Meanwhile, the Earth Pony inhabiting Twilight's body is enjoying the life and position as Twilight Sparkle along with making decisions that could impact the fate of the kingdom.

    For Twilight Sparkle to sum up, she suffered from being the Chosen One trope for the entire series. Starlight Glimmer in her conflict with TS in their season finale pointed it out. Also Twilight starts off from a higher position as someone who is out of touch with the rest of the world.

    Twilight Sparkle: Anyone have ideas to improve Equestria? *Applejack and Starlight Glimmer raise their hooves.* Twilight Sparkle: Any other idea besides getting rid of the aristocrat class?

    Looking back at how this started. EG does comes off more like a parody of FIM. It started off as a gimmick of ponies with a human world counterpart. Then it slapped on the superhero/magical girl gimmick by giving them super powers. The biggest problem at the start, was reusing the Mane 5 again instead of having new characters using the same voice actors for Twilight/Sunset Shimmer to befriend.

    One of the major flaws is the episode, it doesn't show Fluttershy directing her aggression on the agitator Angel. Other than that Fluttershy gets drunk on power and anger which can happen to someone not use to it.

    One thing that goes with this shipping is Rainbow Dash and Applejack don't want to have children. At least I would assume Applejack would want to have children to raise seeing how motherly she was to Applebloom and big on family. Rainbow Dash I can understand not interested in raising kids short of having one to inherit her legacy.

    Princess Celestia: Okay, Twilight. I want you to use your magic on this egg and.... Twilight Sparkle: Done! One super sized spicy omelette for the Princess. Princess Celesta: What did you do? Twilight Sparkle: I was hungry for breakfast and made plenty for everyone. Princess Celestia: That was a baby....you're expelled. *Years later.* Twilight Sparkle: When I met Princess Celestia, she gave me an egg to test my magic. So I turned that sucker into an omelette and she flunked me out of the school. What was I suppose to do with that egg, hatch it?! Moon Dancer: Yes. Twilight Sparkle: That's a stupid test.

    That's cool. I think we'll need a Season 10 sub-forum area to organize each separate story plot similar to how we do it for the show.

    Spike: So got any gems to eat. Garble: Eating gems is for younglings that don't need mommy to feed them. We snort gem dust through our noses. Spike: I guess I can try that. *One bad overwhelming experience later.* Smolder: Garble, care to explain why Spike is passed out on the ground with his rolled back in his head and covered in gem dust. Garble: I tried to stop him but he wanted to show off snorting gems dust.

    A higher rating would allow the show to expand the lesson of friendship in more ways and not handle it with kiddie gloves. Like helping a friend get over an addiction that controls their life. Rainbow Dash loses to a Pegasus that's been juicing. Rarity gets stalked by some creepy pony in love with her.

    Pinkie will be much better than some other parents in the show.

    Rarity: So this handsome stud walked into my boutique. Yada yada yada, hours later he was worth the effort. Twilight Sparkle: So what happened? Rainbow Dash: She just said what happened. Twilight Sparkle: All Rarity said was, "yada yada yada." That would be like if I said, "I was with my brother and we yada yada yada the night away." Rarity: Oh, my word! Applejack: Really?! Rainbow Dash: Celestia, why? Fluttershy: That's your brother! Pinkie Pie: Disgusting! Twilight Sparkle: What did I say?

    Rarity: Wind Rider got chocolate cake on his ivory scarf. Wind Rider: If that's all you got to pin it on me, you should turn in the badge toots.
  22. Singe
    Not likely considering the time limit imposed and her theory was pinning it on Wind Rider which still had holes. Rarity would not have been able to walk it back once she made the accusation it was Wind Rider.
  23. Singe
    - Wind Rider confessing and the rules for investigation in Rarity Investigates! - Despite everything Rarity laid out in her case, her evidence was just circumstantial for a hypothesis that it was Wind Rider who set up Rainbow Dash. Her entire case hinged on Wind Rider coming clean. Wind Rider could have still denied any involvement as the evidence against Rainbow Dash was still stronger and Rarity was bias towards protecting Rainbow Dash by shifting the accusation on to him. This all started because the Wonderbolts don't have an independent investigation policy to handle infractions, where the accused is guilty and have to go about proving their innocent.

    Rainbow Dash: I'm really getting tired of everyone asking me, "Which one are you?". Just because my mane, cutie mark, and tail is the color of rainbow, doesn't imply any additional meanings beyond being cool.

    Rarity: My new line of dresses are designed with an easy way for them to slip off. For when your special some pony says, "Drop'em". Sugar Belle: Oh, I don't know if Big Mac can even say that.
