Izzy Moonbow for me. As someone who hasn't seen any of G5, yet (beyond promos), this quiz makes me excited to see it.

I can't help but notice that the art in Pony Life looks a lot like chibi. Is that what it actually is? I wonder what the Equestria Girls would look like if they showed up in Pony Life. I searched for chibi Equestria Girls to get some ideas, and got some ideas.

Discovery hasn't renewed or canceled Pony Life. So, what do you think will happen? Will we have two MLP series running at the same time?

Yes, I would be okay with that. Super evil villains can make a show more epic, and add elements of heroism, but what I really care about in a show is this stuff: * Love/kindness/care/friendship/etc. * Emotionally impacting content (where the impact feels good to the viewer, because they empathize/sympathize, are joyful about it, or something) * Interpersonal relations * Uplifting content * Clean, wholesome content * Good examples * Morals * Cool fantasy magic (ideally not just simple magic, nor spiritual magic) * Lots of worldbuilding * Color (I like bright colors; they make a show more entertaining and uplifting) * Music/singing You can probably tell by now that I like making lists.

How long is G5 going to be exclusive to Netflix? What I'm saying is, when will it be available for digital purchase on places like Prime Video, Vudu, Google TV, and/or YouTube? I don't currently have a Netflix subscription.

I thought Gilda was kind of toxic for Rainbow Dash, initially (although she might not have realized it). I like how Rainbow Dash handled it at the end of that episode, though. They could probably do more on that topic, though.

I watched many of the episodes where she was reformed first, and her villain episodes afterward (which I kind of liked, since her past seemed more mysterious that way). She's probably my favorite pony, too, though. Not sure what I would have thought had I done it the other way around.

Disclaimer: I release the content of my/this post to the public domain; no attribution necessary. There are a lot of morals; so, I might mention something they've actually done, because I forgot, but here goes: 1. Being sensitive/polite to ponies with sound-sensitivity, perfume-intolerance, food-intolerances, chemical-sensitivities, etc. For light-sensitivity, you could have an episode where they keep inviting the pony to activities in broad daylight on sunny days, or indoors with bright lights (counting on them to be there). Have them actually keep showing up, though, even though it's hurting them or whatever, before they figure it out. Teaching people to be perceptive/empathetic/sympathetic would be awesome. 2. Don't disregard others' goals as unimportant and trample over them, just because it's unimportant to you, or because you think it's not a big deal. Goals are sometimes larger than they appear, and even if not, they're still goals, and deserve respect. 3. Listen to what a pony really has to say before you start giving advice. 4. Don't devalue obsessive interests just because they're obsessive and the person is young or doesn't have a string of accomplishments that you appreciate. Treat them like they're ambitious (beyond what they seem to have ever attempted), and worthy of adult conversation. If you don't understand it yourself, why judge? Don't over-simplify others. 5. When you're in school (or whatever else), don't assume everyone you meet is, too. 6. Don't make things unnecessarily difficult for others by default. I mean, if you're a teacher, you can focus on the end result, rather than tedious work that doesn't even need to be done, if you do things slightly differently. I mean, if *most* of your classwork is just to build character and make the person a well-rounded person, some people might never learn the actual subject matter who would otherwise flourish. Make sure your character-building techniques don't get in the way of the actual class too much, if at all. 7. If someone you meet isn't in a very esteemed life position, try not to be awkward about it. Focus on the good, even with your face. 8. Simple answers don't always make for simple solutions. Sometimes complex answers lead to simple solutions. There's a time and a place for each kind of answer. 9. You don't need a published, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, 10-year FDA-approved study just to know if your hat fits. You can just try it on. You have to draw the line somewhere, or you won't get anything done. Yeah, those things have a place, but if you don't have millions of dollars, you kind of have to settle for something else, sometimes (and sometimes it's enough). 10. Society is overcautious for a reason (even if that reason doesn't apply to most circumstances). I mean, you might be advised to go to a doctor for consultation before you eat celery (and you've eaten celery all your life), but there's actually a reason they say that (liability, special cases where people take high-dose supplements, allergies, if you take certain medications that might interact with celery, etc.) 11. Don't be ambiguous. I mean, don't say things you intend to be interpreted one way that could easily be interpreted lots of ways (if you can help it). Being vague is different from being what I mean by ambiguous (being vague is less harmful, because the speaker doesn't necessarily expect, or even want, you to understand them, and you may not have any interpretations to consider). 12. What do you do when seemingly everyone else on the planet *suddenly* seems to have a strange opinion that you don't share. This has happened to me more than once. 13. Respect people who choose not to be aggressive. It's not a sign of weakness (whether or not it's merited). It can require a lot of self-control. 14. Drinking more water isn't *always* the answer (even if it frequently is). 15. Try something new. 16. Read the label before you eat something. It might contain unexpected ingredients. 17. Things sometimes look easy on TV that take a lot of skill, knowledge, time, or practice. But, don't give up; don't be discouraged (if it's worth it, anyhow). 18. Don't make fun of or mock stuff (demographics, shows, toys, etc.) It's not nice, even if you think others with you do or should share the same opinion. (And for a toy company, it may boost their sales if fewer people are making fun of toys, and teaching their children not to when they themselves get older. Same for TV show companies.) 19. Just because it's commercialism doesn't mean it's not a good thing. Some commercialism *isn't* a good thing, but some of it brings a whole lot of joy to people's lives. 20. Others can get really ticked off if you don't believe them. How to be diplomatic, and when to actually believe them. Realize that it can indeed be mean to disbelieve people sometimes. My personal take on it is to treat them like you believe them unless you have a good reason to do otherwise (like if they're trying to get you to do something risky based on that knowledge)--or just because you disblieve them, that doesn't mean it's always helpful to say so. When people are believed, they can feel loved. Similarly, it can be good to teach people why others are often skeptical (so you don't think they think you're a lier all the time). 21. Why you shouldn't exaggerate habitually, even if you think people know what you're doing. 22. Learning new stuff can make your life better, even if your life is already fine. 23. Try not to overwhelm your friends by trying to get them to work for/with you all the time when they have lives of their own. Once in a while is okay, but every time you meet? 24. Don't ask your friend to come over (or ask if you can come over) *every* single time they call or email you, especially if you have something you want them to do for you every time. Sometimes, they just want to talk and they aren't prepared for an in-person interaction. If you have more people who can help you, don't ask the same person every time (and if you don't, be sensitive). 25. People might say they like apple pie more, but they eat cherry pie more when given the chance. If you said you wanted lots of apple pies and only one cherry pie, try not to hog all the cherry pie, leaving the true cherry pie fans within nothing but apple pie. Yeah, I've experienced this. I love cherry pie; everyone else votes for apple, but they eat the cherry anyway! It's so frustrating. I mean, I'm happy that they suddenly remember they like cherry pie for a few minutes, but the supply just isn't there to accommodate that behavior. 26. Be polite in lines (like when you're getting in a line to dish up some food). It never ceases to amaze me just how much ettiquette most others ignore in lines. (I mean, how aggressive and unaware of others some act vs. courtesy and caring about others.) 27. If somepony is on a special diet, try not to pressure them into breaking it. 28. If you're not willing to help, don't get in the way. 29. If someone's in the bathroom with the door open, brushing their teeth or something, try not to commandeer the bathroom so they don't feel comfortable using it. You can often just wait until they're done, or ask for permission to do what you want to do before you do it. This is especially important if the person has a lot of personal space and the bathroom is small. 30. Don't give people more responsibility than they can handle (at least, not too much more, too often). 31. Don't assume people are lazy. They may have a lot of stuff they're doing that they just don't tell anyone else (and that might take a lot of time and effort). 32. Just because you know someone and are comfortable with them that doesn't mean they aren't famous, prestigious, accomplished, etc. I mean, if you grow up somewhere, move away, do a lot of great things, and come home, people might not recognize your accomplishments (or even know about them)--and if you told them, they might not believe you. So, the moral is, don't judge a sequel based on the first book. 33. It's almost impossible to find people that don't think short jokes are corny (no matter the joke, and no matter how funny it actually is). So, you can pretty much expect that in advance. Also, don't say joke are corny all the time: it's cliche. 34. Some get tired of trends/repetition faster than others. I mean, what might seem profound to some for years might seem profound to another for a day (and the constant repetition of it can be painful). That doesn't mean they don't believe in or appreciate it; they just need a break from hearing it over and over in the same way. Imagine hearing your favorite song on and off all day every day wherever you go for a year. 35. It's easier to like something if you're focusing on it. I mean, if you're overhearing a movie while you're unsuccessfully trying to sleep you probably won't like it as much as if you sat down to watch it with friends. If someone's showing you their favorite song when you're focusing on something else, it might not sound as great as if your mind is clear of distractions.

A lot of the things I say aren't necessarily what I'd say tomorrow. I mean, about the EQ Twilight vs FiM Twilight. Now that I've thought about it a lot more and remembered some stuff, I might change my mind. They're both great; I don't really like making comparisons, because I usually regret it! Just being on this forum seems to get me to re-evaluate stuff.

FiM probably has more rewatch value than Equestria Girls for me--so that makes sense to me if you watched it a lot (and I got that sense a bit when rewatching The Legend of Everfree for the third time or so; I think the first movie has more rewatch value than that one, though; not sure about the others, as I've seen them less). There's a lot of mystery/anticipation with EG that isn't quite there when you rewatch it. FiM has so many episodes that it's easier to forget stuff, and the mysterious stuff isn't quite as crucial (since they do a lot of stuff in-between). Apple Jack grew on me a lot more, too.

I like Trixie a lot more than I initially did (even in her early episodes)!

My vote currently goes to the SciFi Twilight (it might change based on my mood). She's one of my favorite characters in the entire mlp Franchise. She's definitely relatable (to me). I like her emotions and thought processes. Princess Twilight is awesome, though (she's definitely a favorite, too).

Probably Friendship Games, but I feel like you kind of have to watch them all, like they're one story.

I like the Equestria Girls movies more (as I just said in another thread), but it's not like a leaps and bounds difference. They're both great shows, and just as good (the fact that I prefer one doesn't mean I think it's better per se). There are definitely different things I like about each. It's nice having two Twilights, with one being a more shy inventor type.
