Before it was canned
That is all
Nocturna isn't a great species name for Bat Ponies (it'd be a good character name tho) but it's WAY better than Thestrals I'll give it that
>>43345739>echo out of nowhere
>>43345759I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't know she was an OC. She looks very official and has been around since immediately after Luna Eclipsed
>>43345759The chances of Echo relevancy are low, but never zero
>>43345743>Izzy's cousin, Fizzbitch
>>43345758Thestrals is copyrighted by Rowling anyway.
>>43345776I more just dislike it because thestrals had some pretty damn specific traits such as being invisible to those who haven't seen death and have naked hairless tails, etc. It's not a good generic name for bat winged horsesIn truth I've never seen this fandom suggest a better name other than Bat Ponies but it always felt like Bat Ponies deserved a more legitimate species name. I'd make it something that starts with V, as that's the same shape as a fang and subconsciously brings vampires to mind
>>43345794>something that starts with VVagoonies, because every bat pony enjoyer is a shameless, horny bastard trying too hard to be different.
>>43345776She doesn't own the word, only the clusterfuck creature idea she shat out. Hasbro would just avoid it because trademarks would be a bitch.Same reason why they like nonsense names on ponies.
>>43345739>nocturnaInterestingly, not the first time we've heard this.I don't care a lick about G5, but a mention in the archives from 2023 caught my eye >>40584042
There are other slides. Here they are. Some stuff is new, some stuff is not.
>>43345759Those are placeholder images for internal use. Copyright is not an issue for those.
>>43345739Where did you get these slides, anon? Looks strange and official at once.
>>43345885We hate sparky
>>43345906They really should have quickly moved on from baby phase, have him talk normally. In those slides mention him being able to speak a few more words, but I'd prefer full-on speech.Also he should have been cuter, he looks like gremlin.VA choice did not help matters.
>>43345912Remember, Hasbro originally wanted Spike to basically be Gollum from LOTR.
>>43345758>ThestralsI love the sound of it. It's dreamy.>being invisible to those who haven't seen death and have naked hairless tailsWho gives a fuck.
>>43345901thanks for clarifying, hasbro legal team
>>43345867>Misty, the token black character, is the one connected to the NocturnasWhat did they mean by this?
>>43345800>VagooniesI hope this is a shitpost and not a serious opinion, Anon.
>>43346073Half joke. I have bat fatigue. Goodnight.
>>43345740>Can use her wings and special izy breeze powers to bewitch and control poniesDo they even watch their own show? That's isn't how it works. She uses purrsuasion; her voice. Not whatever they are claiming.>Opaline's returnKino and deserved. Hopefully she would have incinerated Misty into ashes for revenge.>>43345741>Pipp and Seashell focusWHAT? FOCUS ON TWO BEST PONIES AT THE SAME TIME? Wow, only Posey is missing there and it would have been kino beyond anything in G4!>That pngFug, Hawk Nightwing would have made it into the show! We missed out on!>>43345743>Izzy's long lost one-winged pegasus cousinFirst: Stupid nigger cartoon trope when writers run out of ideas. Second: Doesn't make any sense lore-wise of course. Are they stupid? Except they mean third cousins or shit like that. They already fucking forgot all that shit in the Pippcast where Jazz claims she was a fan of Pipp since she was filly which cannot be the case.>>43345746>Meeting some famous ponies from generations pastLike who? I guess they could have only meant other alicorns with that. The shitshow would have been glorious. Or maybe adult Flurry Heart? Could have been cool, but G5 almost never acknowledges things past a certain threshold in FIM, so I kinda doubt that.>>43345864>Opening a new businessIt's so funny that they planned Sunny's new character arc to be about opening another fucking smoothie shop. That's all she got... smoothies.>>43345867>Misty favourite hobby is watching moviesKek, what a useless NEET>43345874>Our first pony with ADHDUhhhh.. first: Cringe. Second: Who is Rainbow Dash, who is Pinkie Pie, who is TYT Izzy hahaha>Working at a smoothie shopThat idea at least survived into Tell Your Tell.>43345877>The dragon's toothI hope that image is only a placeholder because it'd be a weird power dynamic if Hitch got the actual artefact around his neck all the time.>The breezie keySo, the key that got used up and disappeared? I guess they got multiple of them now? And two of the charms are linked to the breezies? Fucking stupid.>43345879>43345882Yay, more ugly dragon shit!>43345885Kill this piece of shit.>Error: Our system thinks your post is spam. Please reformat and try again.Awesome.
>>43345739lol your generation is dead
I think its sad that gm berrow will continue on to harm children through her new bird show- that this is the real threat of the industries, essentially that they are a safety net for bad people like we see happen for Emily Thompson, that their harm is never thwarted and stopped and only is furthered.
>>43345794>I'd make it something that starts with V, as that's the same shape as a fang and subconsciously brings vampires to mind"vesperquine" has been around for at least a decade. it starts with v, sounds like a believable mythological creature, and roughly means evening/dusk horse. i know some people don't like it, but it seems perfect to me.
>>43345863Tranny
>>43346168That bird show is some literal AI generated slop. Is Berrow really that desperate for money, lel? Haber at least got some HONOUR and would rather NEET and starve for 10 years than write for that shit. And why would a content farm even hire writers in the first place and not just generate the scripts like they do with the visuals??
I guess berrow will have to repurpose her grand vision of an adhd pony, crippled pony, and tranny pony into an adhd bird, crippled bird, and tranny bird No big loss as representation is just a shallow coat of paint
>>43346173>>43346196...are you an idiot, mr. offboarder? "Transform" is species swap, something that often happened in G4, too. They literally say so in other slides. What's next, you'll see "transport" and freak out, too?
>>43345794Some fic I read called them "nyxies". It's basic as shit but it's better than "thestrals". The dev of some pony dungeon game was going to call them something else too, but I'm pretty sure it was just "vespers".
>>43345741>alicorn landso dumb>reunion with sunny's momalso dumb
>>43346410Amy Keating Rogers mentions alicorn land, retard
>>43346416And yet we are the purists lol
>>43346241>nyxiesIt sounds a bit like an euphemism for prostitutes.
>>43346523Just call them "Night Pegasi" or something. But that's soulless.
>>43346416Alicorn land was supposed to be in the original G4 movie script (before it got leaked by North Korea and we got creatures instead).
>>43345940I thought he was their half-assed attempt at recreating the baby Yoda meme. Either way, a shit idea with shit execution as usual by Hasjew.
>>43346582Kim Jong Un tried to warn us... he tried to warn us how devestatingly mid the movie was going to be and we ignored him...
Was this supposed to be some kind of tax evasion scheme for Hasbro that allowed them to report obscene losses?
>>43346584That's because he was xDDAlso what's up with all these ugly-"cute" things being so popular? Baby Yoda, Labubus, Stitch...
>>43346617Women thing.
>>43346617>They were so close to taking shit from Wolffucker Filoni's Star WarsWe dodged a bullet yet somehow still got shot.
>>43346617Modern society idolizes treating people like shit and behaving like a deep-compromised thief and glutton. You will support and glorify this. Broadcast all the way up on national television and highest political office. The media is forced to kind of roll with ugliness and make it marketable.
>>43346626What schizo point are you even trying to make here?
>>43345852Nice catch.
>>43345739Wait, how old is that!?I was hoping for a S5 leak all this time!
>>43346416so? still a retarded idea
>>43348216Lemme guess, you're one of those "there are only two alicorns and they are immortal deities" headcanon retards?
>>43348235This is bait. Do not respond to bait.
>>43346179Berrow is at her best when she's just another writer in a show with a proper foundation, like in DC Superhero Girls, or an editing assistant to a more experienced person, like Larson with season 5.When her ideas are mostly grounded and not trying to come up as "unique", she can actually do a good job. Meanwhile, Haber in season 4 was mid (his first episode is the best thing he wrote and got a lot of help from Rogers for it) and only got worse as the seasons went on.
>TYT came out with their plans>MYM came out with their plans>Faust is still silentcome on, it's time for reveals. What was the original plan for FiM?
>>43348642>What was the original plan for FIM?There was no plan, anon.
I find it amusing how much of this behind the scenes stuff is basically "Oh, you thought you were cooking when you were writing, weren't you?".Stuff like pontificating about Sunny's alicorn arc >>43345864 even though she didn't have a single leadership moment the entire series, or actually going into detail for Skyros. >>43345741 No, Berrow, I don't want to see you donkey punch the lore more than you already have. The only thing I'm sad we didn't see was Allura going head to head with Opaline, two completely ineffectual and non-threatening villains in a singularity of lame.>>43346100>Do they even watch their own show? That's isn't how it works.Anon... this is preproduction material. It was changed when they made it...>>43346168If there's anything that we can take comfort in, it's that kids are so addicted to their screens there's no chance of them ever watching his propaganda slop being passed off as entertainment. Keep your eyes glued to the phone, Timmy, it's much safer than watching cartoons.>>43348642Aren't you familiar with the meme, anon? Here plans are irrelevant.The one I know for sure was NMM was originally the season 1 finale, and she floated the idea of the Everfree's influence expanding over time.
>>43348742This is the actual truth.
>>43349319>The one I know for sure was NMM was originally the season 1 finale, and she floated the idea of the Everfree's influence expanding over timeThese would have been objectively better than what we got.
>mostly g4 concept art>batpones>all of the adventure, lore, story that the movie and movie concepts promised but weren't delivered onLot of good pivoting to cocomeleonslop did them.

>>43349421>>43349486>>43349502I have Faustard fatigue.
>>43350061This is FAUST country
>>43345885Sparky is the worst fucking character in all of MLP. history, easily. I can't even be too upset that g5 is dead as it meant no more ugly farting baby dragon
What are the chances Faust will bring back Opaline in G6?
>>43345743>Misty's movienone of those retards learned why G% sucked
>>43350091Opaline will transcend into every generation past and coming. She will always come back. Now matter how many times she gets raped.
>>43346165basedg% faggots get ye gone
>Faust and Larson both said they imagined Bat Ponies as their own subraceWhy did it take all the way to G5S2(cancelled) for this to be followed up on? Bats were introduced in G4S2 and were immediately popular.
>>43350063^This.
>>43350306>had to respond to his own post because everybody ignored his weak bait Kek, loser.
>>43350080Don't remind me. Hopefully there will be no toilet humor in G6.
>>43350347nuwriters wanted dumb creatures, not actually interesting speciesfucking kirins got only one fucking episode
>>43351626The kirins had one shitty little Ewok hippie village. Any writer would never bother even thinking of going beyond that.
>>43351630So? Griffons also had a single shithole and yet we've got a bunch of good content from them (Gilda, Gabby, shitposting about 109, etc)
>>43351641>Griffons>Good content
>>43351645certainly better than creatures with literally 0 (zero) good episodes
I wished this happened.
>>43350080>>43351355I hate Sparky so much.
>>43345739astoundingly horrible as always. my expectations couldn't be lower and somehow I am still shocked and disappointed
