EEEEE i just finished up the G5 movie and i LOVED IT! everything about it felt super well thought-out, perfectly executed, and it just put the biggest smile on my face. it was a great little well-rounded package of delightful ponyponypony. 10/10, got me hyped for the new gen. super long wall of stream-of-consciousness thoughts and favorite things about it behind the cut ^_^

-of course seeing the G4 mane 6 in the intro was a blast, and so sweet. LOVED the little foray into 2D they started with, it felt like a great way to transition not only into the new generation but the new animation style

-and speaking of the animation style, WOWEE did it look amazing. i kind of have an obsession with cgi musicals and this scratched that itch and then some. everything was a delight to look at-- I loved the fluffy fetlocks, the bright colors, the bigger snoots, the hoof shape, and the slighter longer bodies (which i read was to accommodate for the transition to 3D!). the environments knocked my socks off.

-the humor was super on point and it got a couple real chortles out of me. just a charming, well-intentioned, sweet movie-- I've always loved that MLP tends to keep away from jokes that are mean-spirited or cruel. the serious delivery of "the queen has been arrested for being a phony pony full of baloney" right to the shot of her posing gorgeously in the mugshot killed me

-the plot wrapped up soooo nicely! it really made me sad to see Sunny's ancestral home being destroyed and of course we finish off with a little speech about the real magic being the friends we made along the way. absolutely darling.

-SUNNY ALICORN!?!?? HUHWHUHHH?? if i hadn't been spoiled for that via twitter i would have been knocked absolutely off my rocker. the updated designs for the wings and horns are gorgeous too. just a real visual treat with all the glittery glimmery effects!!

-ok i looooooved the songs. I have been watching izzy's little Fit Right In song and seeing it in action was great. Pipp's song is great (and i really felt for her when she got exposed for the royal lie, her little hurt face, omg). i'm definitely gonna be humming sunny's little Be My Day song to myself while i powerwalk to the bus lol

-PONY DDR WAS SO AWESOME. Alphabittle was so awesome. i wanna be his friend and listen to him explain his collection of N64 emulators. also i think he and the pegasus queen should have a cute lil romance.

-Sprout was a weird villain, but funny too. the whole mommy's boy thing was uhhh. strange

hi!!! please don't say that!

-WHO IS BEST PONY? well, hard to say at this point. I'm fond of Izzy as i'm sure everyone is-- she reminds me of myself and she's just so darn tootin' cute. I also adore Hitch and his heart of gold though, though, and Pipp is so darling, and Zipp is so smart and reliable, and and and....

OH MAN!! ultimately, i just really had a blast watching this movie. i highly recommend it to anyone who likes ponyponypony. I'm curious to see how the show will look (hopefully good), and i am psyched to see all these horsies go on more adventures :')

My MLP Gen 5 movie review and hope for the future.

SPOILER WARNING!!!! Lol...

If you haven't seen the MLP Gen 5 movie please do so, and not just because there are spoilers ahead.

First off I can't tell you how much I love this movie. It's well made and written, the music is catchy, and the story speaks to the viewers without being preachy. Each character is relatable and loveable.

The movie was adorable, well animated and the voice actors amazing. Above all the animation was so amazing it alone carried the story where it sometimes faltered. The story was a bit generic and the plot twists weren't exactly hard to see coming. Yet it was thoughtful and each expression of each pony was carefully thought out. From the main 5 characters each having their very own mannerisms to unforgettable facial expressions.

I think they successfully brought MLP back by not only adding a male character who isn't toxic, i.e. Hitch. But by adding a girl character that isn't super feminine but also doesn't shy away from cute stuff, i.e. Zipp. A character whose love for flying is so pure it shines as bright as a rainbow.

This brings me to the characters and what I hope to see happen to each of them. As well as what Element of harmony I think each represents.

Starting with my fav and now spirit animal, Zipp!

Anyone who knows me knows I adore Rarity. She was always my fav, but I really identify with Zipp. This is amazing because my preconceptions going into this movie were that Zipp was going to be a Rainbow Dash copy, and she isn't!

We were comparing her to Rainbow dash, not only the cool style she has and her love of flying but honestly. Between Rainbow and Zipp, I like Zipp better because she's not like Rainbow. My favorite moments with Rainbow in OG series were when she wasn't all about flying, but instead, the episodes about her love of a book series were my favorite things about her.

Sure Rainbow loved flying, obnoxiously so at times which was her character. A confidant sometimes snarky character, and we love her for it. But Zipp, Zipp didn't grow up flying. Her love for it is almost pure compared to Rainbow's love.

Zipp had to learn other ways to glide, or imitate flying. Zipps pure joy at suddenly being able to fly is adorable. However with her character. I could see her spending days never touching the ground just because she'd be afraid she'd never get up again.

Zipp has insecurities that Rainbow doesn't have, and it's mostly because of how she was raised in the castle. Hiding the fact that she can't fly that she had to use wire. Her mother loved her but Zipp always comes second best to her sister. Rainbow didn't have that Rainbow was raised flying and told how good she was, that helped make her the confidant person she was.

In fact Zipps mother showed her love to her sister more than for Zipp. Who honestly seems fine with that because her joy in life is flying. Though it be nice to see in the future a mother daughter bonding about how she wants to be treated a bit better by her mother. To be listened to and not shut down. Like she had been in the movie.

Zipp knows everything about flying as shown on her calk board in the movie. Rainbow never really had that spark of passion. Zipp is more insecure in herself, so basically Zipp isn't Rainbow and I love her.

Now as for where her story may lead. The Wonderbolts! We know them we love them and Rainbow was one of them.

Zipp only knows about Wonderbolts from a photo and probably some of the history she's been told. In fact, I could see her wanting to be one just not in the same way Rainbow did. Rainbow wanted to be one to prove she was the best. Zipp doesn't have that kind of view.

Mostly because they don't exist anymore. They more than likely were disbanded or rebranded when no one could fly. I could see Zipp having a mission to start the team up herself, not because of the status or the idea that Wonderbolts are the best of the best. She'd more than likely start it make friends all in an effort to share the love of flying with everyone. I doubt all ponies who can fly will try to fly. Whether out of fear or lack of confidence in themselves. I can see Zipp using the Wonderbolts as a jumping-off point to help show what wonders the sky holds for ponies. To share her spark with them.

I hope they don't shoehorn her into just a pony that is a girl but doesn't like frills. I feel like Zipp isn't the holder of the element of Loyalty like Rainbow, but instead, she's honesty. She hated lying to people sure she'd never abandoned her new friends but she knows the value of honesty and the distrust lying can bring to a kingdom when the truth is revealed.

***

Now for our second Pony, we have the pony I think could be any of the elements of harmony but more than likely is the element of Loyalty. The ever-adorable Izzy who at first we thought would just be a mash of Rarity meets Pinky, to make up for the fact that there are only 5 mane characters. Her cutie mark being something crafty and her personality being very bubbly.

Honestly, she is adorable and you can't help but love her. If Zipp wasn't so amazing Izzy would be my fav. Although Izzy may have looked like she was going to be a fashionista or party pony. She was far from what we expected and we love her for being her own pony.

Her recycling is an amazing idea, being a crafty pony and making fun things. Is such a great idea and sets her far apart from the fashion ponies and party ponies. She is a loveable goof who is helpful without being pushy. Her pure joy in making things for friends is what we love about her.

In comparison, Rarity loved the praise her fashions got, a perfect dress for every pony, and to make them all shine was her goal. Pinky wanted to put smiles on people's faces with parties and jokes, she wanted to bring joy to every pony.

Izzy just wants to make friends and share her stuff with said friends. I could see her setting up a shop, she could sell her friendship stuff like the bracelets. But I think her joy in life will come more from sharing special moments with a small group that with love her for her. In all her shiny sparkle ways. I see her more like a pony who will start a business that will allow ponies to make their own memories rather than sell pieces already made.

Izzy is a ball of sparkles that I hope doesn't become a character that's just there for the giggles. I can see her being the element of Loyalty because once you're her friend you'll mean more to her than anything in the world.

***

Now we all love a good strong non-toxic character, big mac is a good example of this. Hitch is another. He's strong confident and yet kind in his own way. He is the ideal male character. Someone who will be the voice of reason without making others feel bad. He is compared to Fluttershy in most ways because of the animals and I do agree that he more than likely will be the holder of the element of kindness. Yet he isn't Fluttershy.

I think the fact that he loves every living thing and wants them to live happily and as equals, why he'll be the elements holder.

Hitch unlike Fluttershy isn't an animal caretaker, but a protector. He has a stronger voice than Fluttershy, he won't back down from a challenge if it means protecting anyone or any creature that is under his care. He is a welcome addition to the pony cast. Giving the little boys who love ponies a pony that isn't a girl, but also isn't just a background character.

Sure the stereotype of the Sherriff being a male pony is a little, overdone. Yet Hitch is a kind person who only wants to help and protect and he does things even if he knows may not look cool because it make a friend happy. Like the scene where he does the secret hand shake with Sunny. You just can't help but love Hitch and hope he isn't to be the only male in this group for the entire show. Perhaps getting a male friend probably a unicorn or another creature like a dragon to balance the main cast.

I hope in the future we get to see just how he protects not just his friends but every pony without being aggressive but by being kind. Showing people like Sprout that there is away to help without overdoing it or forcing it.

***

Then there is Princess Pipp who I think is the holder to element of generosity. She is a girly girl but also speaks to the Gen that she is aimed for. Always on social media and on her phone. She's a soft jab at how the real world is in a way. Sure she could be compared to Rarity, but her love for music and phone sets her apart. I can see her story being about who to make the world better. Showing how the effect of love and humor can altered those around her.

We know Zipp is next in line for the throne, so what does the future hold for Pipp. Perhaps a career in music or something about how no matter how famous and rich she becomes it doesn't help with her sense of completion. How her close friends are where she'll find true happiness while helping others find that same sense of belonging. Will she help those around her by giving them what they not just want but what they need. Weather they know what that was or not. That's what I hope to see in her story.

The good and the bad, the outcome of just handing people something like fame or a big break. Learning the lesson that you can fail at what you don't want and might as well take a chance at what you love. I can't wait to see what they do for our new princess.

***

Sunny...what to say about Sunny? First she's not Twilight, in any way shape of form. Sure she got an alicorn body at the end of the movie, but that doesn't make her a princess. She is a good example of the fact that this isn't gen 4.

On the subject of her new horn and wings. I doubt she'll keep that form. I wouldn't mind if she did because it's cute but it also doesn't seem fully deserved. Sure she brought magic back, but she played no more a bigger part than Izzy. If anything Izzy played a bigger part. Izzy ventured out while Sunny only took the time to change her corner of the world. Sure I love Sunny her story is amazing but I feel like she needs more fleshing out. Like the world she leaves us with so many unanswered questions.

Sure I love that she was an activist and protester, she went about trying to spread love without really being pushy. Which is nice she was amazing and you can't help but love her. Yet she seems too naïve, her gaining the abilities of someone equal to Twilight seems a bit much. In fact the only element of harmony I wouldn't give Sunny is, magic.

She's funny but the element of Laughter isn't her goal. She wants everyone to be happy but laughter isn't what she's after...lol...She's kind but Hitch is more suited for that element, just like Loyalty is Izzy.

Sure Sunny would never leave a friend behind, and Loyalty is rather close to being the element for her but she also understands after years of bullying that not everyone is her friend.

As for generosity, she isn't exactly someone to just hand things to people without thinking. She'd happily give someone a cupcake but I doubt no matter what would happen she'd never hand over her note book or father necklace to just anyone because it make them happy. As for honesty she lied to Hitch her friend without remorse, enough said about that.

Now that leaves only magic, sure her pure hope for friendship and to find a place among her kind is likely to be equal to magic. I don't think the element suits her. I think if anything Sunny is the seventh element the lost element of harmony.

The element of Acceptance.

(Also seen in MLP Equestira girls being Sunset shimmer.)

I think in the future I want to see Sunny spend her time uniting the world, making friends and helping everyone learn the new world that she has set in motion. How she will show the world that their is a value in friendship. I also hope she seeks out the truth about the past and answer the many questions movie gave us.

(Sorry for the long pose... But why don't you tell me what you think in the comments. What would you like to see in the upcoming show and what element you think each character might be.)

ok i said i was gonna do it, so here you go: g5 predictions!

I feel like this is set in the future, partially bc there’s electronics we don’t see in g4, and also bc of all of the g4 merchandise sunny has. sunny is probably a fan of the mane 6 and would try to emulate what they taught, especially with the conflict of the movie being the same conflict from hearthswarming eve, and one of the conflicts in the ending of the end. In the screenshot of sunny and izzy in the hall with the guards, sunny is reading a book with a ton of bookmarks at the top. My guess is this is either a journal she wrote, a book on the mane 6, or the friendship journal. The mane 6 canonically made and sold copies of their journal, so it makes sense that she would have one when you consider the rest of the mane 6 merchandise she has. My guess is sunny would use this the same way twilight used her book in the hooffields and mccolts, searching the book for a solution she could apply to the current situation. She could do the same with a book on the mane 6, and if she wrote the journal it would likely include the mane 6′s lessons or something similar. Judging by the pegasus guards and the wing-like emblem in the background, they’re probably in the pegasus kingdom. That would explain why we haven’t seen pipp yet. I think pipp has an important role in the pegasus kingdom, otherwise we might’ve seen her when they were introducing other characters. I hope we get an explanation as to how things got so bad, when we last saw twilight’s equestria, everyone was getting along and there were more than just ponies thriving in canterlot and ponyville. Who took the throne after twilight and messed it up? What happened to the elements after the mane 6? Judging by the fact that the new leads will have more diversity and inclusivity and the show itself will have a theme of activism, I wanna assume that we don’t see or use the elements again. FIM used them as a physical manifestation of the magic of friendship. Judging by the slogan on the blanket “Every(pony) can make a difference”, I wanna assume that we don’t see a lot of the elements or other forms of magic in the lessons we learn, and that the lessons are gonna be more focused on their relationships and celebrating their differences. The green pegasus guard in the one screenshot has visible wings that match their body, but pipp’s are white while she’s pink. Maybe they have to do with her status in the kingdom (cause judging by the crown and the fact that she isn’t present in the trailer yet i think she might be a princess), or they’re something on her wings like the rainbow wing covers twilight got in rainbow road trip. Maybe prosthetics? We’ve seen disabled pegasi before with scootaloo, so it’s totally possible that our main pegasus would have the same disability, and then use prosthetics or even a mobility aid to help her fly.

I wanna guess that Sunny is gonna be similar to twilight, maybe with a little bit of pinkie pie too. She seems cheerful and energetic, but still studious and smart. Izzy is probably closer to pinkie pie, judging by the little bit we saw of her where she’s laughing and playing around. I wanna guess Pipp is also like pinkie, maybe a little bit like rainbow dash, where she’s fun, playful, and determined. I don’t know what to expect with the boy yet other than he kind of reminds me of shining armor for no other reason than the sash and the pins. The symbol on the back wall in the pegasus kingdom was a horseshoe shape made of wings, and the one pin on his sash is a horseshoe shape with a star in the middle. Maybe that represents the earth pony guard, or the earth pony kingdom in general, and maybe that’s something he wants to take part in.

I hope we see more than just ponies this gen, g4 introduced so many new creatures and then we only got to spend a couple seasons with most of them. I hope they bring bat ponies back, and kirin, seaponies, griffons, hippogriffs, dragons, changelings, and the creatures from klugetown. I really wanna know if we still have alicorns, or maybe the kingdoms are divided because there are no alicorns to lead anymore (considering Celestia and Luna took power right around the time of hearthswarming eve). If so, do we see alicorns by the end? Will one of our main characters earn their wings and/or horn? I don’t think they’re gonna remake Twilight’s arc like that, but it would be really nice to have an earth pony become an alicorn which we could potentially get with Sunny. Who rules equestria once the divided kingdoms reunite? I really hope we either see a new alicorn, or another set of leaders like how Twilight and her friends ruled together (except this time it would be cool if they all lived in the castle and ruled together rather than just assisted the one as a council). It would also be cool to see a non-pony creature lead equestria. What happened with Twilight and Celestia’s schools? And are the pegasi living on the ground, that way Sunny and Izzy could access it, or did they manage to get up? And if they do live on the ground, what happened to cloudsdale?

I’m super excited to see what g5 does with its magic system, to see what’s changed and developed since g4. I really hope we get more building on earth ponies, g4 didn’t really build too much on earth pony magic and most of what earth ponies had was something other ponies also had. I really wanna see what special abilities earth ponies have, and how those abilities help them interact with their world. I also wanna see how this generation handles cutiemarks. On the blanket it looks like their cutiemarks are up a little higher on their backs than they have been in previous gens, and Sunny only seems to have one cutiemark. It’s possible that we just don’t see it with the angle her leg is tilted at with the way cutiemarks are higher on the body in this gen, but there’s also a chance they’re only on one side. Having cutiemarks on one side would be weird though because they didn’t used to be like that, so if this is in the future of g4, what happened? And if they are on both sides, is the boy a blankflank (honestly I would love that). I’m super excited to see what this gen does with all this
