I wonder if they're really going to make Fluttershy a Unicorn, Pickie Pie a Pegasus, and Twilight an Earth Pony? I'm not sure how I feel about Twilight--I always liked the fact that our protagonist wasn't your typical run-of-the-mill pony like so many shows out there. It's okay for her to be special, she doesn't have to be super relatable, right? And Fluttershy... I always thought it was neat that her cutie mark is for something that doesn't have much to do with the sky. Finally Pinkie Pie as a pegasus makes almost too much sense (with her hyper nature). She'd be flying all over the place for sure, haha.

I suppose my point is this: These changes do make some amount of sense, but almost TOO much sense. One thing I love about the show now is it shows how you don't have to be what you were born as. You can be who ever you want to be dispute your heritage. Maybe the new show will still convey that--I hope. But it might be more difficult if they're making all the character's races more stereotypically match their personalities. Some of Fluttershy's best episodes where about her not being confident as a Pegasus because she prefers the ground! And Twilight, her whole deal is magic. I'm sure they have some new idea in mind but I can't wrap my head around if there is any way to keep her the same without being a unicorn (I guess she might be pretty different!)
