What doesn't seem to fit the setting of MLP?

The knowledge that Tartatus exists, it's filled with horrible monsters, and you can be sent there at a moment's notice.

I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was akin to a slow death.

Concerning SOL? I didn't really like the Agent Bon-Bon subplot that occurred as It felt out of place and I doubt it will ever be extended further than that episode. However, maybe Backrounds will play a bigger role in S6.

Well all of the stuff that we see or is alluded to doesn't jar me out of it as Equestria kind of has a flexible reality by which it is it's own realm but the references to real places, historical events, mythology, or other genres doesn't bother me in the least.

 

I know this is probably going to piss certain people off by saying it but its actually bat ponies that I feel don't fit. Either Flutterbat or Luna's guards. The former for just being all kinds of disturbing, the ladder because we are never given an explanation of them. Are they a separate race? A sub species of pegasi? Are they unique as a subspecies? Are the wings just fake?

 

Their appearance simply raises too many questions that contradict the mythology without any justification of being funny or a similar acceptable break from the canon.

The Grumpy Cat cutie mark, and Vinyl Scratch dubstep from SoL.

 

THERE IS A GRUMPY CAT CUTIE MARK?  :wacko:

 

But back to the main topic: Vinyl's headphones. Ok, basically all of her equipment. While the rest of Equestrian machinery has this steampunk-ish feel to it, the devices Vinyl uses look modern and technologically advanced.

 

It looks like lazy and inconsistent world building to me.

The secret agent plot looks to be expanded on in one of the future upcoming chapter books which stars Lyra and Bon-Bon.

   I'll tell you what doesn't seem to fit. These Pregnant MLP toys that I've seen come up on MLP related searches on YouTube. My surprise is not from seeing a EG Pregnant Rarity figure. My Surprise was from why does THAT need to be? Pregnant MLP Pony figures even. The fact may stem from the recent The One Where Pinkie Pie knows in which the topic of pregnancy comes up. Also EG is set in High School so aren't the girls "supposed" to be teenagers? Or older young adults due to the fact that none of them act like teens. Which means the High School setting is still out of place. Sure it was always weird ever since the first EG film. 

 

   My point is I don't know if I want or like seeing them make Rarity Pregnant. Real talk if this was to happen to a IRL like Rarity. A baby would be bad for Rarity's active career right now, ya know? She'd have to quit fashion design and devote her life to raising a kid... If she's a single mother she can't to make dressed and raise a kid, or a foal. A baby changes everything ya know.

Equestria has always been a bastion of both medieval, steampunk, Greek, Modern, and more. It really just depends which parts of Equestria you go to. Not much is out of place because there is so much flexibility.

 

The only thing would probably be Twilight's Castle. I'm okay with it's existence, but it's obvious Hasbro executives make their own designs.

I feel like I agree with the humans thing to a lesser extent. because I fancy Equestria Girls, ESPECIALLY RAINBOW ROCKS. (lol) I just wish they would have been alternate universes, maybe with some subtle fourth wall jokes, allusions, or coincidental joke references, (kind of how Pinkie Pie explains it lol.) I just wish they would have wrote it differently, but at the same time I dont want this to keep them from Sunset coming back to Equestria or an episode, because that is something I want to see more than anything.

The fact that all the technology is mixed up. I mean, in a medieval-like setting, dubstep and high-tech machinery already exists, as well as early 20th century technology like record players and vintage projectors.  :confused:

All of her "tech" is magic powered though. They go to the trouble of showing this in SOL. For instance, when she powers up the huge speakers she jumps between both of them and her horn glows causing the speakers to glow. This is a detail that intrigues me, as it opens up Equestria to having all sorts of nifty magic-tech. The time period that they seem most like for me would be circa 1900 Earth. Maybe there is a Pony-Tesla or Pony-Edison there that is advancing this sort of stuff? (Dr. Whooves? perchance)
