Equestria Origins. Potential for a new series?

X-men did an "Origins" story, and there was hype. Pokemon did an "Origins", and again, hype. Now, bear with me, guys, what if, since the pony franchise is over 20 years old, Hasbro decided to do their own "Origins" story, involving the ponies? I could see this being done- not as a movie, because there could be so much more potential for this than could ever be squeezed into an hour long movie- but as its own series, either running while MLP:FiM is still airing, or during G5.

 

Instead of focusing on a specific gen of ponies, If this ever happens, I could see it based around characters of Gen 1 (that Hasbro has liscense to ) and Luna and Sunbutt, during the earlier parts of their reign. The comics show that the royal sisters did have interaction with some of the G1 ponies. Origins could even hit on explaining the full MLP timeline (which many YT analysts have tried to order

https://youtu.be/DmvUA_5SNRo)showing that Sunbutt and Luna knew of Megan from G1, when they had been fillies, how somepony could've severed the link between pony and human world, once Megan grew up, Megan keeping the rainbow of Light in the human world, which could've been responsible for the link between worlds not being severed completely, and many millenia later, the rainbow's magic syncing /allowing Starwswirl to create a portal to the human world to banish the Sirens there, and the two worlds- as seen in EqG 3, trying to merge as one.

 

Would fans want an "MLP:Origins" series, that offers a story along these lines, involving cross-generation ponies?

Yes. This would be awesome if done well. Plus, it would help shape Luna and Sunbutt as characters. Because really, they're kinda 2-Dimensional right now, maybe isometric at best. I want to see more about them, and maybe Cadence.

tgey certainly could do with more characterization. Sunbutt, especially, for those who've been demanding it

Ehhhhh, I thin Origins might, if ever done, not focus on Cadance all that much. If at all

That what be just what I was wishing for! I always have wondered what the story of Equestria and its inhabitants was.

there's a tiny bit on C&L's backstory, particularly in the Starswirl Era, in The Journal of the Two sisters. But there needs to be a whole series, I think, since alicorn are so long - lived, a series would explore a lot more

Too bad the way in which Luna was banished is now canon. I would have loved to have see the events leading up to an Equestrian war of sorts.

you mean Nighmare Moon? Well, I don’t necessarily think the time of her banishment would've mattered. True, it's impossible to put a war anywhere in the events 8f the series canon timeline, but the comics go 7nto depth of theNightmare forces being responsible for Luna's change to NMM, and NMM's interaction with the Nyx, after banishment, and how she acquired her dream veiwing abilities from them, and used them to mess with pony's dreams, to try and get them to distrust Sunbutt.

This comic canon could be included, if Equestria Origins was ever done, and NMM could corrupt enough ponies through their dreams, having them turn on Sunbutt, enter their dreams, and return to Equestria before 1000 years have passed, and Twiligh and friends come in with their elements, and wage war against Sunbutt (though, obviously, if it's keeping canon with FiM, she'd lose, even then, get banished again, and stay there for 1000 years)
