The concept of a multiverse is dangerous in the sense it risks making the characters’ individual stories feel meaningless.

I don’t mean reboots, since those are made explicitly for future generations and iterations, but when they actually resort to a multiverse just to get parallel movies and stories like there’s no tomorrow (right Marvel?) it gets draining.

Tony Stark dying once is tragic yet poignant…seeing Tony Stark dying over and over just kills any desire to get invested. Same with Thanos.

Either don’t use multiverse if you are a beginner as a writer, or try to use highly specific branches you can count in one finger to keep things interesting but not overwhelming. Or just use “negative continuity” if you are not gonna make an overarching arc like the Looney Tunes.

Besides the supplementary material often is too big to realistically watch very often.

@TheQuietMan
It’s up to us to actually uphold that and learn to do it

I’d hold off on naming Sunny’s mom for the time being.

Given the story beats being set up in TYT, it seems very likely to me that she’ll get another appearance/mention within the Skyros arc.

If the current storyline has gone by without series or show-runner mention of a name, we can look into revisiting it. Her current tag is acceptable in the meantime; she’s hardly the only parent with a similarly vague tag.

For the sake of discussion, I’ll say that if we really really have to give her a name right now, “Velvet” is a good place to start, since it was the name she was given in concept art. Likely Velvet Starscout given the emphasis put on that surname within the episode.

I love the ‘Found Family’ trope. And while Misty is a nice pick for it, I can’t help but think Sunny’s getting shafted again.

The real problem is agreeing to disagree. It’s hard and ingrained in our minds. We’re naturally born with that thought process.

@TheQuietMan
About your first point, that is how opinions work in general.

The target demographic of kids is most likely looking down at them

@Twi Clown
The multiverse concept as much as I still like at the thought of a small but more interconnected world, really doesn’t work as a big screen movie. Only anything else but that.

@Twi Clown
I bet many unpopular opinions stem from many people’s unique differences, perceptions, lifestyles and experiences. I mean, can’t win them all right? Something that doesn’t bother one person doesn’t mean it won’t bother the other. I think the real problem is empathising with one another. We don’t. For me personally, I’m not bothered by edgy jokes but to some, they do take it personally.

If Hasbro did listen to these people but at what cost? Painting TYT all over the entire MLP brand. And correct me if I’m wrong but there hasn’t seem to be any new g5 toys beyond Blaize as a new figure even though the packaging uses TYT’s anyway. Also regarding the love, let’s just say I watched an unrelated video where first of all, he sounds rather similar to a person I know and second, he does love said thing he’s playing, by bringing out it’s problems and saying the other part of that fandom doesn’t acknowledge it and would prefer to be in “ignorant bliss”. It’s not that we’re not aware of the problems but more often than most, 1. They don’t work at said company to know the full story whether or not it matters and 2. If this really bothers them, why not do it themselves directly by working at that company? Problem solved. I’m gonna assume you’ve already unsubbed at the time I’m writing this so it doesn’t matter.

@DragonBoi471
Everybody’s different. 🤷
Regarding the other points however.
1, What made you think they aren’t already funny?

3, Because they expect us to read the books where it supposedly was explained so they didn’t need or have to or not to decanonize what the various books said?

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
And because Spike said so.

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
I’m not begging and pleading for it to happen or anything, I’d be totally fine if a pony besides Misty became the next queen of Zephyr Heights. I just think it would be cool.

Also, HOLY CELESTIA. I swear I didn’t plan this…

Yeah, check out the lyrics from this very recently leaked TYT song sung by Pipp, Zipp, and Misty if you don’t mind spoilers…
