We're starting to see a lot more details emerge about the upcoming G5 movie, My Little Pony: A New Generation, including a date: it'll be on Netflix from the 24th September.
If you haven't, this is a good time to grab yourself a bingo card:
Here's my bingo card:
So after being inactive for centuries, I Suddenly show up again with an interesting theory regarding Gen 5's mane villain, Opaline.
Now, Opaline has become something of a polarizing character for multiple Reasons, chief among them being the fact that she's the reason the tribes are at odds with each other in the new era.
So why not make it worse for her by connecting her to another polarizing character? XD
From the top of Zephyr Heights, with four levels and the help of David Silver's Ponyfinder work, prances the penultimate pony in this pentagon of premiere pop stars! And would you look at that, she's an actual pop star. Everyone, put your hands, hooves, or other appendages together for the one, the only...
PIPP PETALS!
As the new generation approaches, some things stay the same. Like contests. Check this one out!
Once more we delve into Fifth Edition D&D, with the help of David Silver's trusty Ponyfinder work. Once more I say that these G5 characters are only fourth level by the end of the film. And once more I select a pony to provide statistics to. Today, of course, we're choosing somebody Sunny's known all her life...
So, (finally) watched the new movie The Next Generation A New Generation today.
Normally, I prefer 2D animation to 3D, and this was no exception, but I'm still impressed with the end result. Not that I'm an animation buff or anything, but if I had to imagine an ideal 3D version of the show, it would be somewhat reminiscent of this. Overall, I liked it! The new cast are fun, and I'm looking forward to seeing more.
In the interests of WELL THIS IDEA WON'T LEAVE MY HEAD I've decided to whip up D&D character stats for the Gen5 pones! I am using some elements from the Ponyfinder setting crafted by David Silver, because they actually fit pretty well into what we're going for here. That said, since all we've got is a single movie, I'm going to say that they're all only at fourth level. And who better to start us off than...
For me, at least, I want to see more of Sunny's past explored, and more information on her father's research. I like these new characters a lot, but I wanna know more about Sunny the most.
What are your thoughts?
A couple weeks ago, Hasbro's investor event happened and it's high time to look into it in more detail and to write about it! There was surprisingly little information about Generation 5 during the event's livestream, but a few interesting observations could still be made.
The announcement that all of Generation 5, not just the Movie that will start it but also the Generation 5 Show, will be animated in full CGI had me, albeit subconsciously, question whether I still want to analyze Generation 5 and all the news about it as deeply as I said I will before the announcement on February 25th. Even my optimistic words in
There is a popular theory about Generation 5 going through the fandom right now, because of the Elements of Harmony merchandise that Sunny has in her bedroom. Namely that everything we have seen in Generation 4 never actually happened and is all just a TV show (or, alternatively, book) that exists in the world of Generation 5. This theory originated, probably independently, both in a comment on Equestria Daily and on Discord/Twitter:

For almost a month now, we have the first, concrete news about Generation 5 from the Kidscreen article and now it's time for me to look at all the information in detail.
Can you imagine? Generation 5 has not even started yet and there is already a controversy about its premise in the fandom.
Most who read this probably already know about it for weeks, but I thought a little reminder and redirection to where everything happens can't hurt:
In under an hour, Hasbro will have an investor event that will very likely bring new Generation 5 infos! Nopony knows if that will be a fully animated and voiced teaser or trailer (unlikely), a few teaser screenshots (much more likely) or just verbal information (most definitely).
Since we learned about Sunny's and Izzy's full names, I am noticing a connection between them. Both of their names refer to celestial bodies, "Sunny" and "Starscout" to the sun and "Moonbow" to the moon. That connection made me curious and I wondered what that means and if the two of them might be related (especially considering how Izzy's name doesn't seem to refer to her special talent, which I predict is
(I know that I'm late to the party but I'm still going to speak my mind on it.)
Bronies, Pegasisters, Writers, and Artists, lend me your ears!
I liek da movee.
Plot was a little on the weak side, but it's still enjoyable of a watch even though it's a bit predictable.
Just gotta see what the rest of G5's gonna have in store from here on out.
And if I'll bother to actually watch every episode this time unlike G4 and the two seasons I watched in full
