Didn't know that welp the more you know Anyways doesn't really disprove that unicorns are still the strongest of the 3 races.

A "strong" earth pony like Applejack can do almost nothing what a other race cant do except for just raw strength. A "strong" pegasus like Rainbow Dash can do sonic rainbooms and have amazing speed and flight A "strong" unicorn like Twilight or Starlight can travel through time, teleport,destroy their enemies with magic,transform themselves and others, make people obey them and have the potential to become alicorns. So looking at what each of the "strong" examples of a race can do. Its pretty clear to me unicorns are the most powerful.

To me it doesn't really matter if it has ponies or not. ( 2 of my favorite characters Spike and Discord aint even ponies ). I got drawn to MLP by the likeable characters and the active community. As long as the art style doesn't change I would be up for My Little Dragon or My Little Draconequus.

It first i was hyped. Now after reading all these comments I am scared . Lets just hope it all works out. People also said Star Wars would die because of Disney but that only became better according to a lot of people including myself. ( not the same company i know but just an example of how things can turn out for the better )

So if Starlight indeed gets a chair just like Spike considering Starlight can be called by the map as well. Then there would be 8 chairs and 7 pillars meaning 1 person will not have a counterpart. So either the writers will say F it and just give either Spike or Starlight no counterpart or maybe let them both be Stygian's counterparts. Or they will just never give Starlight a chair to avoid the problem all together.

Aye I see were your coming from. Spike indeed does have a chair for himself already making him a recognised member. However whenever there is a major villain to be stopped example: Starlight and Stygian. Spike never gets called by the map to help out together with the mane 6. Making him a member that is not entirely part of the crew, for he doesnt get called when real trouble arrises.

Adorable Twilight and Spike are adorable

Huh lots of different opinions this time around. Personally I think Spike would be his counterpart because he is an somewhat underappreciated side kick that does not have a lot of power just like Stygian. Also Spike is a lot closer to the mane 6 than Starlight is. Which makes me think he would be more suited to be Stygian's counterpart. Starlight is kind of an outsider that prefers to hang out with mostly justTwilight Trixie and Sunburst. However considering the show likes to praise Starlight all the time and because Starlight saved Stygian and because Spike had no part in saving Stygian the show will probably make Starlight his counterpart. But... no matter what the show does for me he would always be Spike's counterpart. It just feels right for me
