The social media gimmick is what’s keeping me from liking Pipp any more than I do.
 
I can’t decide if plots centered around social media are inherently awful or if I’m just old and out of touch.

I’m not sure how seriously we should be taking Tell Your Tale’s world building at the moment. In addition to sudden magic and flight mastery I can’t help but notice that the whole of pony society is suddenly integrated again over a few weeks since the end of the movie after having been separated for generations for instance. Make Your Mark is coming in another month, we’ll know then if TYT is a reliable representation of what G5’s world is going to be like.
 
Maybe I’m alone in this, but it seemed like the longer Friendship is Magic went on the more effortless magic became for the population of Equestria as a whole. Every unicorn being OP or even just Izzy for the sake of gags won’t be out of line from where magic ended up going in G4. On that note: damn I wish they’d had a sit down to decide what the average unicorn could actually do and made a conscious effort to limit it.
 
As for Zipp, I feel like I can defend her flying skill somewhat. Remember that we were shown that she’s been practicing as early as her very first scene in the movie when she was jumping around the cliffs. I don’t know how much those giant fans in the transit depot she found could be helping her but the point is that she’s been using her wings more than most pegasi. We’re also shown in Sisters Take Flight and Zipp’s Flight School how clumsy all the other pegasi are with flying so far, so unlike Izzy and her magic TYT seems to at least be acknowledging that flying is a new experience for most of them going so far as making Zipp’s proficiency with flight a plot point of her spotlight episode.

Reminds me of a certain movie McGuffin they all cheered for.
 
 
@πʊßƛįϰ  
Rainbow Dash was also arrogant, and in many cases her screw-ups revolved around that.
 
And I’m highly skeptical it will considering the what happened in the movie that took Twilight Sparkle collective adventures to understand.

I’m holding off judgement until the real G5 series. That said, I remember Dash being an inconsistent prodigy in early FiM. She’d alternate between obviously better than the Wonderbolts and then still needing practice in other episodes.
 
I hope the main G5 series takes time to show ponies practicing their new abilities at flight and levitation.

The G5 characters seem too advanced. In G4, magic was a strain. Non-Twilight or Starlight unicorns would struggle to move heavy objects or sweat after using magic for a long time.
 

 
Lifting something like a water tower was a massive feat that established Twilight as a phenom. Izzy was able to effortlessly carry the equivalent of a bank safe with herself in it for hours. She’s at least S1 Twilight, but with no education or practice.
 
Zipp is even more overpowered. Her flying is at least S4 Rainbow Dash. In seasons one and two, Dash wouldn’t have been able to consistently perfect that obstacle course Zipp yawned her way through. And she has nothing like Dash’s history of training and competition.

They made a Spongebob reference in the latest TYT short. And Transformers exist as toys in Maretime Bay.

Too early to judge, but I can see it does at least look a little bit stepped down from the movie. I don’t know if it is just the lighting for the scene or if there is going to be less lighting and texture overall.

Some trailer footage for Make Your Mark dropped and yikes! Something about the presentation is hideous, specifically the lighting. I was really hoping TV CG had improved in recent years… and you know what, I know it has, there’s no reason for it to look this flat and gross. No idea from the 13 seconds I’ve seen so far if the animation is any good or not, the characters slowly walking towards stuff doesn’t give me too great an idea of how competent it’s going to be.

I worry being the lone boy in the group he’s going to end up underdeveloped at least compared to rest of the cast. I hope I’m wrong about that.

I caught up with the G5 episodes. Pipp runs a hair salon in Maretime Bay now. And I noticed something odd. Despite what the first episode seemed to indicate, so far there’s no sign that Hitch lives in the lighthouse with the others. That makes sense, since Maretime Bay is his home. But it made me realize we don’t know where he lives. He was the only main character who wasn’t really developed in the movie, and so far he still isn’t. Maybe episode six will finally be a Hitch showcase.

The ideal game would be like Ōkami and let you be a horse. I want to spend the entire game rolling and grazing instead of completing objectives (much like how I pissed off my ex by running around and digging holes in the wolf game)

I’ve seen a little excitement from people thinking it will be mod-able because it’s built on Unity, but I have some series doubts that’s going to happen. If I had to guess, the best we’ll get is texture swaps, which means it won’t be long before someone turns one of the BPs into Aryanne.

Is anyone interested in the game?

It irks me to no end that we never got a G4 game, when she should have had several, but I’m tentatively intrigued. I’m worried that it’ll just be an explorable Maretime Bay hub with collectibles and minigames, though.

Finally watched the first episode of TYT. Do they really all live together in Maretime Bay in the crystal lighthouse now? I hope that doesn’t carry over to the main series, and also that the crystal lighthouse doesn’t carry over. I liked her sweet lighthouse, it was almost like having Golden Oak Library back.
 
Cenk and Ana live in a crystal lighthouse? That… doesn’t surprise me all that much, actually.

I fear it will. I got the same vibes from the old lighthouse too. I’ve lamented this elsewhere, but what is with this series in making gaudy crystal buildings as “upgrades” to cozy, inviting locations?

The legs are too long and are unnaturally shaped. Especially Sunny, she skitters around like a spider.

The character designs got to me a little. The legs are too long and are unnaturally shaped. Especially Sunny, she skitters around like a spider.
