It sounds awesome and I definitely would like to see something like that! Unfortunately I don't think something like g4 will happen again or that it will continue expanding on itself with new better grander ideas. With the direction they are taking with pony life and the shorts and this speech of "to better connect with modern audiences", speaking of cellphones, youtubers, instagram, selfies, unboxing, etc, with the more small child tone and no lessons, ponies only, pandering. With the direct decisions of the executives to state very clear to the audience what they think about their own audience like Fame and Misfortune which ends on the children are the ones that matter. With the backlash the inclusion of the other races had with many outspoken members of the fandom. With the obvious favoritism unicorns had in specific and the constant problem in the show of ponies being racist even between themselves, the very first obvious changes in the show to accomodate product placement with very particular design choices, the fact that there's no toys whatsoever of the student six. I predict that it will be pony only, focused on everyday issues, slice of life, not include adventures to other places and if they will it will be within pony cities only and the previous races will not return (no "political" or racial commentary for now at least), it will be like a complete reset, more "modern" and technologically advanced, focused on friendship again but more like a 90s (how are they called? Those live action kids series like icarly and such) show because the 90s nostalgia is in vogue with the people in charge of making content right now, it will be g2 remastered, with a ton of songs, hyper cute and more girly, for kids. I hope I'm wrong though... I would love to see the races return to have more variety with characters and species we already understand and love. But the toy brand is My Little Pony, and their primary concern is to sell pink toys to little girls even after g4 has demonstrated that is possible to defy the stereotype and get results. They are not concerned to change the status quo (the higher ups i mean), and even if it g4 gave them money with a bigger audience it also gave them "trouble" politically and socially speaking. It's been 10 years, they need to refresh their audience with younger ones to make them grow with the brand and get hooked by it like we did with g4 over 10 years. I think that's what they are referring to by "you'll get in love with my little pony again", is a complete reset with a different direction. There will be a new mane six group. Each of them again with their own element and quirk regarding friendship. Maybe other elements. There will be one alicorn in the group, no explanation no buildup to it, they'll just be there. We will see... I hope I'm wrong and I'm just spiraling into my own head.

Fluttershy. I have anxiety problems and self confidence issues. kindness used to be my Achilles heel. Twilight. I'm not ocd but do overly worry about my responsibilities, sometimes hurting myself in order to not fail at them ever. At the same time I'm reliable and can count on me. Problem solver. Luna. Troubled past that still haunts me. Loner. But i'm a good listener.

Yes. A couple of times. The whole Darin Do thing is massively offensive to me for the cultural implications. The Fame and Misfortune one is very offensive too towards anyone that tried to criticize the show in any way or form including constructive criticism and feedback. Fluttershy's social anxiety is treated sometimes as something easy to overcome by just believing in yourself and trying to fix the problem by yourself, but i have mixed feelings about it, is not as insulting. The entire Yakity Sax episode because it gives the approval card to being selfish even if you actually are making people miserable around you. Saying it as someone that always had problems with people blasting their music and partying from 10 pm to 4am every Thursday and weekends or randomly in the week in three different locations now and as someone that has insomnia and just wants to sleep after working 10 hours everyday without weekends.

This. But also they kinda patched it a bit better as episodes went on. At the time of the reveal of what happened to her I was like "that's ridiculous..." at the same time I have never had such a connection with someone but I have had some reactions to certain things that spanned for years and then came the realization. Those 180 changes are real and can happen but I agree that it was not well explained or developed to be justified. There should have been more of a motive. Aside from that, I love Starlight because she's chaotic and the one that's learning, she's the Twilight I was expecting to see from Twilight but more recless. Twi 2.0. but more level headed and ruthless when it comes to reality checks.
