    G1 is a lot better than people give it credit for, especially once you get past the animation. It's a lot of good dumb fun. My Little Pony Tales feels like a proto-G5 done incredibly well (Coltsville is basically Maretime Bay since there's nary a unicorn or pegasus to be seen outside of one obligatory 'check out our new toyline' episode Finished up my G5 rewatch recently and started a She-Ra and the Princesses of Power rewatch and dear sweet merciful Luna does it blow G5 completely out of the water in the first five episodes in terms of character, world, and story for a show based on a toyline

    There is continuity It's just with a version of G4 we didn't get to watch
  3. The Nth Doctor
    Nope A "moon" is a year in pony terminology

    Twilight's reign only lasted a few moons (years) before it collapsed, given she doesn't look like her Last Problem self in the hologram (comics aside, but given the shift to mini-series rather than numbered issues, it looks like they're going to be ignoring the early stuff, which is disappointing, but understandable) The dragons also said they've been asleep for centuries Although we simply don't know what really happened in G5's version of G4, since nothing we learn about it lines up with Friendship is Magic
  5. The Nth Doctor
    Welcome back Celestia, shame we're never gonna see you again
  6. The Nth Doctor
    G5 becomes a lot better when you realize that it is its own separate thing like how My Little Pony, My Little Pony Tales, and the G3 movies were all their own things Its depiction of Twilight Sparkle, Celestia, Luna, and Spike point to events of a completely different Friendship is Magic than the one we saw But to each their own, since everyone wants something different from a show aimed at kids literally 1/4th the usual age of members of the Brony community who don't care about the deep lore or continuity with previous series (Where were the Bronies upset with G4 for not following up on anything from G1/3? :P) Feels a little silly to do the same for G5

    ...Why were Pipp's cosmetics floating? Why was everything floating? Why does the show just keep having things happen with zero explanation?
  8. The Nth Doctor
    Nope, since their marks are about helping others figure out their lives, not that they're suddenly good at everything They're psychiatrists

    ...Seriously, where did the Brighthouse come from Did we skip a movie where it was plopped down like Paradise Estate from the 80s movie or...? Did someone go "Hey you know what'd be cool? Mysterious magical door to the admin room that controls this place" during construction, or...? EXPLAIN YOUR WORLD, PLEASE We ask for a lot, but is the basics really too much?
  10. The Nth Doctor
    Yeah, it's...not great, and my rewatch wrapped up with the absolute whimper that was Secrets of Starlight Good god what happened to...literally anything from the movie - magic's treated like it's always been around (and in a flashback in TYT, set during Misty's childhood, we see unicorns using magic, so...) Urgh...what a waste of a generation

    Nice to see an Andalusian Amplifier from one of the G4 novels (Starlight Glimmer and the Secret Suite, by one GM Berrow, in which Starlight finds a magic room that amplifies magic) Guessing that voice would've been Twilight had Tara not torpedoed her career Pity Sunny wasn't involved though - she'd have loved all the implications with the murals, which are lost on Misty, but...well, five minutes isn't enough for that
  12. The Nth Doctor
    But before they started introducing parents and making them boring, speculation was always fun Also not helped by Twilight Velvet having G1 Twilight's colors (there's also a pegasus Twilight, but no one ever remembers her) (although Whizzer is way more Rainbow Dash than Firefly was - she's impatient and a fast flier that doesn't like waiting around)
  13. The Nth Doctor
    Well, nice to know Hitch doesn't flinch from resorting to lethal violence if his kid's in danger Doubt we'll see him use that against something living though A little odd that earth pony magic can turn cake into a plushie though - transfiguration's usually a unicorn/alicorn thing
  14. The Nth Doctor
    Can't wait to see how Pinkie dies Not the direction I was expecting the comics to take Who's going to take care of Little Cheese once she's gone?
  15. The Nth Doctor
    If you haven't done so recently, go back and rewatch G4 from start to finish - it's how I spent the majority of 2023, and it was a lot of fun Odds are you'll find new things to love, hate, and lament about the series and its world, characters, and story I also highly recommend giving G1 a try, because for a badly-animated 80s toy commercial, it's clear the VAs are having the time of their lives
  16. The Nth Doctor
    It's definitely an alt universe where a version of G4 happened; it's absolutely not the one we watched
  17. The Nth Doctor
    ...Were they willing to turn their daughter to stone if she kept being difficult about coming with them? Why else would you keep an uncovered cockatrice cage right outside your front door, especially right after an episode detailing how dangerous they are? Hate these parents so much - Holiday, Lofty, and the CMC are Scootaloo's real family ...And Dash, whenever the show remembers she adopted Scootaloo 7 seasons ago

    "A long time ago, there was a magical bat named Dawn. She was surrounded by other bats like her. But one of the bats refused to get along with the others. This bat wanted to fly around and eat all the fruit for herself! So Dawn spoke to a spider, who wove a beautiful web to keep the mean greedy bat away. In the end, Dawn was able to protect their nest. Yet the greedy bat continues to this day to try to break the web!" -Elder Flower (Father of the Bridlewood) Pretty sure the "mean greedy bat" is Opaline "Dawn" may be Luster Dawn and the Spider is very likely Twilight, since it's "Twilight's bubble" that's was keeping Opaline out
  19. The Nth Doctor
    Really hated how the main six were portrayed here, with massive 'gotta tame the barbaric yak to fit into pony society' overtones Literally had a song about it and everything Disgusting Real glad the Student Six didn't help with cleaning up the mess the ponies caused, and Yona didn't need to apologize for anything Episode should've ended with the Student Six having a party at their treehouse with the teachers forever banned from setting hoof in it, because the only lesson the students ever learn from them is "don't listen to the teachers"
  20. The Nth Doctor
    Guess that's why Opaline has dragon servants now, if Misty's moved to Maretime Bay full time ...should've gone to Bridlewood with her father so we'd have more reasons to have episodes set there
  21. The Nth Doctor
    Skipped this episode back in the day and having finally watched it for the first time recently... hoo boy How did this get past any sort of draft Who looked at traumatizing a child that wants to know where he came from with a scumbag slimeball piece of cow dung and said "yep that's a good episode I want to have my name attached to" Man, sure is weird that this season only has 25 episodes Do we have any idea why it goes from episode 23 to 25?
  22. The Nth Doctor
    Oh look, another episode of Pipp's Products Don't Work How is she still in business
  23. The Nth Doctor
    Just got to this in my rewatch, and wow, the leap in writing quality is insane compared to what came before (What Lies Beneath was also great on account of finally remembering the Student Six exist after not using them for a dozen episodes ...course, next up is a Spike episode, so it's sadly incredibly short-lived Such a shame we never got another Kirin episode; imagine Autumn Blaze with a properly-written unflanderized Pinkie...
  24. The Nth Doctor
    Twilight. Cadance, Celestia, and Luna don't do enough to become awful in the first place
  25. The Nth Doctor
    Rewatching the series has led me to dislike him more and more with every appearance after his first - he'd have made such a fantastic overarching villain and he should've been more like Q from Star Trek (literally what he was described as and why he's voiced by John De Lancie in the first place) His 'reformation' was just him gaslighting Fluttershy and it just keeps getting worse and worse and worse from there I despise Fluttercord with every fiber of my being
