Oh yes, you have the exact headcanon as I have! After I gave up with the new (and horrible) G5 Ponies design, I decided to think about MyM as a separate timeline, when Twilight was a terrible ruler, and that works for us, and could work for the writers in case they want to explain the plot holes of this new generation (like the absence of wings on her).

I loved Misty in this episode, her character felt so real, (ironically) human and relatable. It explains the popularity she has. Also, we saw another Izzy facet, finally putting her suffocating happiness away for one moment, to center in her nostalgia about her hometown. It helped a lot to develop Izzy and give some realism to the situation she is handling.

This... is a very good question. Ah, those G5 plot holes showing us the poor work made by the writters of the new story. I will always say that the worst mistake in the current generation, is linking it with G4.

Sunny is a poorly written character, with almost no flaws. Everything she does has a reason to be!

Ah, the classic switch in kid shows. But the episode was too annoying to watch completely, so I skipped some irrelevant parts. In this, Hitch and Sunny are childhood friends having an argument. Ok, everything normal until the overpowered dragon acts up. It would have been more logical if Opaline had done the cutie mark mix, but anyways... With "The Cutie Mark Mix-Up" I learned just one thing: you can't compare the job of a sheriff with a smoothie vendor.

That's the problem with Sunny. I mean, Twilight was not my favorite, but she had a more solid personality and development than her. Sunny is a Mary Sue!!

For some reason and because of this episode, my dislike for Pipp just skyrocketed. She's a phone addict, and I hate that kind of personality. I find her a very bad example for kids.

Simply, I don't see this Twilight as a depiction of the previous one. So, I will call her "G5 Twilight" in each post I write about the character. This one has been created with only one purpose: attract G4 fans. MYM could have worked without FiM help, but the writers of the show and Hasbro executives were convinced about the ideology "if we don't link both generations, the new one will be a failure". On the other hand, I will always dislike the new Pony artstyle. Also, it's incompatible with the Mane 6 and Twilight is the "living" proof of that. I agree with those who criticize Twilight's appearance, she looks horrible. The dragon is annoying and his color is not creative.

THIS. I really hated it! And disappointed me the fact we couldn't see more "worlds" than Maretime Bay.

And we must add that G5 is more childish than G4. FiM was special because it could attract both kids and adults, so this simple factor can radically change the fanbase orientation to a younger audience.

I don't like Pipp's personality.

I agree, her design looks mediocre even compared with background Ponies. If this continues, will disappoint the fans instead of hype them.

I only see her as the "hype stuff" for the older fans.

Yes, I knew someone would say this, but I'm just criticizing this especific episode. I don't mean to judge the entire series based on this.

In order to avoid more misunderstandings: This is a discussion about "Izzy does it", so it's only my opinion on this episode, not the entire show. Worldbuilding: I have some complaints with the worldbuilding. Sometimes looks nice, sometimes bad. Although, since the especial, they only stay in Maretime Bay instead of showing us more from Zephyr Heights or Bridlewood: about this one I'm very disappointed, because when Izzy was ready to go, she conveniently found the inspiration needed on a random motorcycle placed around the poorly designed forest. About the plot: it was ok, not very surpising. I can't deny I expected something more serious, but I'll give it time to expand the plot/important lore elements. I liked the "relationship" between Opaline and Misty, that makes you sympathize with her problems (blank flank and the abuse she obviously suffers from the alicorn). The mane five's dinamic fits well and doesn't feel too forced, was "organic". Humor: I enjoyed this, especially Hitch's jokes. Character development in the episode. Sunny: In the episode, everypony had their own problems except Sunny, she seems very "perfect and nice" for my taste. I hate that kind of protagonist cliché. Pipp: Still having an undeveloped personality centered in her addicition to social networks and singing in random situations, AND solving issues about those songs. In my opinion, she's the most beautiful pony of the group, but is just that, her personality doesn't tell me anything interesting. Zipp: Is not far behind, I didn't like she didn't have more protagonism, her attitude is very passive and a bit boring, too mature. I prefer an active and enthusiastic Detective Zipp. Hitch: He was OK. He's by far, one of the best. But is my opinion or he's ignoring his child? Lol Izzy: I really loved her! She wasn't one of my favorites (and I used to dislike her extremely long hair, however, in the series looks shorter), but now definitely she does! The VA did a fantastic work! Ok, that's all for me, I won't watch all episodes in one day, so I'll try to avoid spoilers!

I want to know what's happening in 0:05!

I am so excited I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunny has good ideals, but I hope the writers don't depict her as a Mary Sue or something related.

Hahahahah oh yes, that's right lmao!

Not exactly to finish the entire show, but maybe you need to watch until the season 3,

G2 was a failure so it didn't have any series, only toys and a weird pony videogame. On the other hand, it's already confirmed that the episodes will last 22 minutes each. Source: https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/02/recapping-all-of-g5-my-little-pony-news.html
