The production designer for the G5 movie, Pablo Mayer, revealed some interesting bits of information about the locations in G5, along with info about the inspiration behind Argyle.

This confirms a lot of fan speculation 100%, Bridlewood Forest is the Everfree Forest and Zephyr Heights is Cloudsdale. And Argyle was supposed to be like Indiana Jones, apparently. Funny how this came out right after I re-watched the G5 film.

I wish that we had gotten to see Argyle and more of this as it unfolded throughout the series as a whole. There are so many good ideas, but when will we actually see them in a convincing manner in the show itself? 

An episode zero.... I vote for that too!

Oh my goodness, yes, I was literally just thinking of this yesterday. A prequel to the G5 movie starring Argyle would be so killer.

"Bridlewood is Everfree." ~PR.

"Ooh, mysteries! Castles, timber wolves, zebras!"  ~fans.

"What's 'mystery'?"

Interesting. I had heard that Zephyr Heights was either a collapsed Cloudsdale, or was located near to where Canterlot used to be. 

The Pegasi do seem to be the best off of the three Pony species in Gen 5.

The Pegasi Royal Guards seem to have a more or less direct lineage back to the EUP Guards.
