Incidentally I was at TF Con and did a panel where Aaron Archer led a group of us through a thought experiment where we pitched fictional toys for a fictional franchise, and a ten year old kid in attendance excitedly said: "The hero should have a TRAGIC BACKSTORY!" Which now makes me think of...

The aesthetic is fine but it was just okay IMO. Lots of concepts I like, but when I watch it I'm not captivated. (I also got tired of the human supervillains reeeeal quick.) Still in the upper half of TF shows though, I'd gladly watch it over Energon or Cybertron.

Teal (? or maybe dark green?) Seeker with yellow trim and yellow hands. Different from Skywarp, who we also get a brief glimpse of. Both femmes, I think? I loooove the eyes on the first Seeker, reminds me of Starscream in the Windblade mini-series.

I just realized my previous headcanon about baby Sunny's hair wouldn't work because Argyle's part of the blanket only showed Hitch, Sunny's wing, and a slight amount of her body. So he wouldn't have known tapestry-pony's mane color. This is also why I don't think Argyle knew about Sunny's...

Given the episodic nature of Tell Your Tale. I think the writer just thought "Hey, wouldn't this be cool?" and went for it with this idea. I don't think it's going to be a huge plot point in the future or anything. Argyle's family had the earth pony piece, but I don't think they ever had the...

I don't think it's Hasbro. From what I've heard, Hasbro very emphatically wanted the G5 movie to be a "standalone." Like the writers would suggest more explicit G4 nods and Hasbro said "no" every time. That might seem contradictory with the "mythical Princess Twilight Sparkle" aspect, but if...

I had a Madame Alexander doll of Amy as a kid but I could never get into Little Women the book. (I asked for the Amy doll because she was pretty, I have no idea what her personality was like.) I do think it's cool that a semi-autobiographical book by a female author was such a hit. But it just...

This was a cute episode, I liked it.

Zipp's Yes Day

Yeah, I remember someone on artist Twitter who made a pretty innocuous statement that she got dragged for. (IIRC she said something like, "sometimes your art isn't there yet, so keep practicing." ) She talked about how she couldn't stop reading the dumb messages that were like "So you're saying...

This episode really highlights why they wanted a modernized setting for G5: so they could have episodes about the online problems kids grapple with. It's easier to be like "she went viral on the internet" than to construct a tortured metaphor for internet virality in a non-internet world. And...

About 53:04, there's a chainsaw revving sound effect so I think the implication is she chainsawed it with her horn, kind of similar to stabbing the can of beans open. Unfortunately that kind of visual humor doesn't work so well in "realistic" 3D as opposed to the cartoony style of G4, so the...

Yeah, the centerpiece of the new crown is purple, whereas the real pegasus crystal is blue. Queen Haven also had the purple gem in Make Your Mark. (I was kind of hoping she would keep Izzy's pasta and glitter creation because that would've been funny . . . Anyway, I still headcanon Izzy making...

Tell Your Tale "One Trick Pony"

I found a page that lists little profiles of the main characters.

I think Alphabittle was supposed to be there as the de facto leader of the unicorns, but I like to think he and Queen Haven are dating. I got a real shippy vibe from them in the mecha battle of the movie.

I'll have to scan in some of the UK magazines, there's a pre-movie one where Pipp and Zipp are practicing a flying stunt for a PR event or something and keep worrying about ponies finding out their secret. And there isn't a moral about "lying is wrong!" or anything, it's literally just: "Zipp...

Pipp would enjoy being queen more, but I'm not convinced she'd be better at ruling. She might be a little too carefree. I wonder if the sisters will end up co-ruling somewhere down the line, which would be a fun throwback to Celestia and Luna.

Zipp's offer made sense since it was a one-day "gift" to her mom on what we presume is the equivalent of Mother's Day. Different from "my full time career: being queen." I'm interested to see how they resolve this issue (if they do) in the show eventually. Will Pipp somehow become heir or...
