The weakening of magic into the human realm also explains the modernization of the pony world. Ponies were so used to using magic that when they were forced to live with weaker magic, they turned to a realm that lived without magic at all and adapted their technologies and ways of life to make up for their weaker magic.

This guy literally explained everything why

@Sara Samaletdin Yes! Especially because a lot of Sawtooth's theories have fit so well with the show that I basically consider them canon now lol

@robin dungan that's so crazy it just might work.

Thorax is one of the Royal's child for example he is chrysalis's youngest son and youngest child. Phrynax is her oldest son and her second child. Plus larynx is her only daughter and her oldest child.

I do hope some writers watch these videos. Not that they should just follow them but have their own ideas, but it’s very hard for new writers expecially to know all lore. So it would be helpful for them to hear of these things and add them to their vision if they fit.

Yeah! And I can see that the unicorns, being proud of their magic, refusing technology but they never got it back. But kept saying they did, to keep others away and cuz they know they can’t, they grouped together to look out for each other

@Lunar Flare Which leads them to turn to humans for farming techniques and possibly food supply.

I think this explains the isolation as well. Pegasi blamed unicorns for making their wings less effective, everypony was mad at the weather ponies for being unable to do their job, and without the weather, earth ponies couldn't grow crops.

Which is ironic, since the human realm had those things before magic was introduced to their world.


Never thought physics could explain magic in a cartoon about magical ponies but here we are 😂<br>Ain't complaining 😌

Never thought physics could explain magic in a cartoon about magical ponies but here we are 😂
Ain't complaining 😌

I mean, weren't many of us introduced to g4 by a physics presentation?

Yea but isn’t g4 and g5 supposed to be for kids y is it so dark


I only now realize - how is it that when the main Alicorns sacrifice or lose their magic, they don't lose their physical body parts, but Cozy Glow lost a whole horn after having hers go bye bye?

Is it possible that the ritual needed to become an Alicorn is optional, but is required to 'stabilize' the Alicorn form? Maybe Sunny does need more than that to become an Alicorn, which is why it was temporary, and much like how Cozy Glow lost her horn, Sunny became an Earth Pony again.

I just came up with a theory on this but I'm not sure if it's possible or makes sense but it's something that might explain it somehow. So to become an alicorn you need the magic of the 3 tribes so this comes to my theory that instead of taking magic from someone or something it's more of enhancing or evolving the pony's magic, for example of twilight she finished a spell and made new magic from it, HER magic, so in theory she also enhanced her own magic to not just unicorn magic but also pegisi and earth pony making her an alicorn and which is why cozy glow lost her alicorn form because it was not her own magic, I hope that made sense.

What if twilight sparkle contained the magic from that ritual in the gems, then broke them apart so that they could be completely unable to collectively wear down the magic barrier?

Interesting thought, but how about the bell? It can also be because of the borrowed power, like sawtooth said, if twilight did sacrifice her alicorn magic, then the power sunny got is only borrowed from twilight's?


If the theory is correct, then I understand why there is no mention of other races.
This is just my theory:
Who knows how the decrease in magic affected other races! Twilight saved the ponies, yes... but the rest turned their backs on Equestria because of her decision.

True<br>They probably backed away after the pony civilization fell apart

True

@Twist_Ending agreed! They were so underdeveloped with only having one episode in G4.

I hope the other species come back. Especially the Kirin

P.S, what's assemble?🤨

Thorax is queen chrysalis's youngest son and youngest child.

i believe its the small action that f up everyone....everypony too..

Yeah; I actually watched Spider-Man No Way Home again for my third viewing in theaters, and that statement holds very true to Peter’s arc in the film. His small mistake of not giving the thought of convincing MIT to reconsider him and his friends, led to the huge consequence of him allowing Doctor Strange to brainwash the entire world, open up the multiverse, and allowing the Green Goblin of Raimi’s Spider-Man universe to kill Aunt May! After Strange’s spell was successfully completed towards the end of the film, Peter realized that if he were to tell his loved ones who he is, they would be caught in the fire of his enemies, leaving them vulnerable to them, so that’s why he didn’t tell MJ and Ned who he was in the donut shop. 🕷

@sparxstreak02 The minor detail was what happened to Grogar. The bigger detail is that Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo weren't helping their sisters at the time when all of Equestria are assembled. They didn't even play their part at the Friendship Speech. I think Hasbro cut off the CMC during the production of the series finale by accident.

Lol if it had such dire consequences, can that mistake really be called minor?

@Shawn Pickett Pauley💙🎩 Imagine one episode of G5 were our main characters would discover the story of AppleBloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo in a book or tale.

@Dustin Freeman That's true. They're the Forces☠ of Goodness😇

@Kathren Gacha If the CMC helped the Mane Six in the final battle with other creatures, they would not be forgotten by the characters in G5

I think the biggest mistake was the CMC not in Equestria Assembled. That lead to the magical crisis that took place.

If you miss your homework next tuesday you could be causing the fall of taco bell in 20 years


This makes just SO Much sense. I almost really hope this is canon! And if it is, I would love to see maybe the first season's finale being Sunny returning the magic to Equestria, or at least having to make the choice to, and seeing the effect she caused to the human world.


She literally brought back magic for all ponies she sure does deserve being an alicorn


This will fits the setting that magic slowly fading away theory. Maybe Twilight realized that magic is slowly fading away early on when it's affect were still unseen. I mean the three pony tribe know that magic once exist and they remember it but they didn't remember Twilight reign as Hitch said early on the movie "it's just a story created by your father" and Argyle even called Equestria as "Ancient Equestria". But there's three other question left, first why Equestria fall ? Why they built three separated ponies settlement caused i don't think they hate each other when the three ponies settlement were created ? If not for hatred, then for what ? Second, what is causing the three pony tribe to be hating each other ? In Zephyr Height abandoned station, we see evidence that after the formation of Zephyr Height, Maretime Bay and Bridlewood, they're still a good friend so what's is causing them to hate each other ? We knew early on the movie that Hitch and Sprout say that they learn at the school that Unicorn and Pegasi attack Maretime Bay because they wanted to eat the Earth Ponies but Earth Ponies successfully defend their city and "kicked their buts" . I think the war probably real, with many wrong information added and the war itself were exaggerated in favor of the Earth Ponies. So if this war is what starting the "mistrust and hatred", then what is causing the war ? Third question, why the ponies doesn't remember Twilight reign or Celestia and Luna reign ? Why Zipp, the heiress to the Zephyr Height throne doesn't know the existence of a period of time where Maretime Bay, Bridlewood and Zephyr Height were at peace and they used to visit each other as the poster and sign board in the abandoned station show to us.


I think to put it all simple those who are born as alicorns are like gods or demigods in Greek Mythology.  Whereas those who were transformed into alicorns like Twilight and Sunny, I think in a way transformations were meant to be similar to why this magical sword called the Excalibur chose Arthur to be king of Camelot.


Sunset and Sunny also have another similarity:

The Sun

Sunset and Sunny also have another similarity:

*The Sun*

Oh ya... but sunny starscout the name all most the same with the one from rainbow road trip sunny skystar

I-I-I I ACTUALLY DIDN’T THINK OR NOTICE THAT SOMEHOW LMAO

Yeah, if Sunny isn't "the Sun" she might have real Wings and Horns
Like Midnight Sparkle,
But since she is the Sun she has similarities of Sunset Shimmer
"Fake Horns and Wings"


“As if flurry freaking heart doesn’t exist” I too am haunted by the existence of this cotton candy babby


i remember the poison joke episode of season 1 twilight stated that magic "comes from within" (implying not "outside" them), SO atleast in season 1 there was no such thing as "equestrian magic." just whatever magic resided within the individual ponies.


One thing I also noticed that's similar between Sci-twi and Sunny is that they both seemed to have temporary Alicorn forms. Whenever Sci-twi pony-uped in the series she gained wings like her equestrian counterpart. At first it seemed like she was an alicorn like pony twilight, but "Spring Breakdown" where Sci-twi goes to equestria shows she still a normal unicorn. Implying she only get's those wings when she's powered up by friendship. I imagine this is how Sunny's alicorn form is going to work.


This might be my favorite of your headcanons.

It even explains why the Wendigos didn't return. As they were described as "Old Magic" so magic might be too diluted for them to return.

Heck even the sun, no longer needing ponies to move it, could be explained by this equilibrium of magic!

Now let's see the show do nothing with this


That would also explained another thing, cutie marks used to appeared both sides but now since magic is even between the human world and equestria, cutie marks only appeared in one side.

@--ÅrçtīçFøøx-- I was basing on the vid sawtooth waves did not how they look.

They didn’t put it on both sides because they thought it didn’t look oof on the characters while they were making them.


Technically, King Sombra is not completely "dead" you can somin him to come back. (So what if Twilight made the Chrystal's to protect the kingdom from Sombra)


The director did say that they made Sunny an alicorn because she represents "all 3" pony kinds, so they are definitely onboard with your theory, although I doubt they thought about it as deeply as you did.


Yup, can't wait for humans with their artifacts, combined with future sci-fi-ish technology to create several inator-like lazers. I mean, how cool is that?!


What if you patch the hole in the portals but leave each worlds at 50/50?


Maybe this could result in us seeing an Earth Pony Twilight in a flashback in the new series? As when she did this she gave up all her magic, even what would have been her Earth Pony magic, so she would have just been a normal pony, no magic, nothing. Also, as another side effect, Twilight was cursed with Immortality, or her spirit remains tethered to the land so she can never truly move on from this plane to the next. A lot of great things to think about, thank you Sawtooth!


You are a genius, Sunset got enough magic to gain her temporary wings


If both worlds have 50% who’s to say that they didn’t fuse into one? The history of both worlds would be mixed together or everything might have reset.


On the topic of alicorns. I've been thinking about how alicorns have magic from 3 of the pony races, but lack magic from the fourth race Crystal Ponies. Then I remembered that cadence briefly did. How powerful must she have been in that moment? Is that the reason her body was capable of having a natural alicorn offspring? Might flurry heart develop crystal pony magic as she gets older? What would we call a pony with all four magics?

@tommy flores Exactly! I have a feeling other ponies might <i>consider</i> them just... crystal-looking earth ponies, even though this is definitely not true, because like you said, their magic is entirely different.

@tommy flores Exactly! I have a feeling other ponies might _consider_ them just... crystal-looking earth ponies, even though this is definitely not true, because like you said, their magic is entirely different.

@Shango Thunder I don't know if zebras count as ponies. Ponies are a breed of horse and zebras in real life aren't horses. And as far as bat Ponies go, we see two carrying luna's chariot in season 2, and fluttershy becomes one in the episode "BATS!". As far as the first example is concerned I'm fairly certain those were Pegasus guards wearing costumes for nightmare night. And for the second example fluttershy got her bat attributes from the vampire fruit bats. Not pony magic. I don't know how compatible magics from non pony races and creatures would be with pony magic. I can see two scenarios. Either a pony with earth, Pegasus, unicorn, and crystal pony magic wouldn't be able to hold onto magic from other species at all, or you could theoretically combine every breed of magic together so create a sort of super being with godlike powers... wait I think I just invented discord

@tommy flores Zebras, Crystal Ponies, Batponies the first equines revealed in g4 and they all got virtually no development.😩

@Eclipse omnicorn sounds awesome. I like it

Omnicorn :)
(Omni = all)
Or crystal Alicorn… but omnicorn is more badass.

The crystal ponies were so neglected in g4, fr tho; just the crystal empire in general had so much potential but i feel like there could of been so much more

@Lidia I think it's the other way around. I think the crystal heart doesn't do anything without the crystal ponies powering it up

@tommy flores their apperence might be different, but i dont think they have any extra power. The reason they stay crystaly ks probably cuz the got affected by the crystal thingy before they even were born

@Gizmo their magic is different though. Earth ponies can make plants grow and have super strength. Crystal ponies keep their home safe with positive emotions. They power the crystal heart, which in turn can power other ponies. Even if they are related to earth ponies, their magical abilities are unique to them, even if other ponies can be temporarily imbued with it.

Crystal ponies are a subrace of earth ponies, they aren't separate


Here's my bit of thought:
The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of a closed system can only increase. Entropy can be thought of as the spread of energy- a system in which energy is concentrated in one given area and no energy in the other has lower entropy than a system of which all energy is spread evenly throughout. This works almost identically to a compressible fluid. Notice that the second system is a direct successor of the first- however, the latter example is a stable state and, in the case that it is closed, will remain so forever. The time in which our universe will reach a stable state is called the heat death, wherein every particle has exactly the same amount of energy.
When a unicorn casts magic, that energy is dispersed, perhaps as heat. There will be a defined point in which there is no useful difference in energy to create phenomena with magic. We have a dilemma, as there is no way to reduce entropy. BUT!! We're in a world of magic, aren't we. So let's say that Twilight Sparkle possesses the ability to concentrate her whole of energy into incredibly small units (artefacts) and, in effect, reduce entropy. We've already seen that time travel is possible, which would reduce entropy. So, this might just be why the artefacts were created and the G5 ponies are unable to utilise it. (Fifth law of thermodynamics- No device can generate energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it.)
Apologies if that was a bit weird, I was just throwing words off my mind onto the keyboard with no mid-filter.


I'm actually confused on why people thought her being an Alicorn was permanent at all, it seemed so obvious that it was temporary. Although my theory on what actually happened is a tiny bit different. I think since she was the one to restore magic, she received all (or some of) of Twilight's unicorn, pegasus, and earth pony magic for a few moments, before it eventually spread out and separated to the other ponies.

Which I mean... is basically the same thing you said, but yours was longer and more in depth and had a bit more of a real reason behind it LOL


Personally, I believe that the remaining 50% magic should be returned to Equestria as it belongs to them. I can understand why Twilight did what she did as she knew the people there personally and she wanted the best for them as well as her own people. But, in my opinion, the more logical thing would have been to make a artifact like the sirens had in order to keep their magic. Magic isn’t for everyone. The ponies shouldn’t have to suffer for human Twilight’s mistakes. The mane 6 should share their internal magic with the mane 7 (with the exception of Sunset Shimmer).  The ponies loss of magic made them estranged to one another while when the magic was all there, they lived happily together and prospered only for the betterment of the human world, that doesn’t seem fair. The loss of magic made the ponies more advanced, sure but that doesn’t mean that they should lose the magic that made them unique and prosper. The human world has went on without magic for centuries and have adapted to it, they have learned to live without it so they won’t be as upset about losing it again. They’ll adjust and go on as usual. The magic slipping away happened over a long period of time in my opinion as if Twilight had discovered it earlier than she did, she and the mane 7 would have found a way to return it as they understand it’s value. But as it was too late, I am sure Twilight thought about getting it all back but she saw how happy the human world was with it and she couldn’t bear to take that away. From what I have observed, magic exists in the human world as well but it is forgotten and as the mane 7 used magic just fine before the crack between the worlds. They just have to discover it again<br>I am done. I’m sorry if my logic is flawed 😓

I can't understand why people say Sunny didn't earn her alicornhood or that it was rushed. Twilight created new magic. Sunny restored magic in its entirety as a consequence of practically ending racism. Societally speaking, Sunny did far more for the world than Twilight did


I just wanna say this about flurry real quick, she is a chimera. Shining is a unicorn, and Cadence was born a pegasus, and we have seen with the cake twins that two twins can be different species, thus in the first trimester cadence could have been pregnant with twins, one a unicorn, and one a pegasus. So towards the end of the first trimester, they could've absorbed each other and became an alicorn. and due to animation errors, this seems to be not as uncommon as someone would think. Thus, Flurry is a genetic chimera.

@Endless Twist she could be both. There is a theory from a YouTuber (I think he quit) called candid cream, and he proposed that cadence was pregnant when tirek attacked, so in flurry surviving, she earned her full alicornhood. And we know that pegacorns exist, because we have seen them countless times in the background. And there are also countless questions that were never officially answered in the show, but they were in the spin-off comics, and there’s so many different comic series, that they probably did explain it in a comic.

One of the loose ends that I can think of, is that they never explained what pushed luna to turn into nightmare moon. Or, how the pony of shadows appeared at the end of that one episode, even though he was in limbo.

@Endless Twist  her magic is probably so powerful from her father being shining armor. We know that he has powerful magic, especially shield magic, but we haven’t had a chance to see the full extent.

And as a reply to your other comment, WE HAVE SEEN OTHER PEGACORNS. In the background. These “animation errors” can be explained as genetic chimeras. Celestia and look just haven’t been made aware of it, due to the doctors being able to explain it. The only reason flurry heart gets blown out of proportion is 1. Because of her powerful magic (that we know is at least on shining’s side of the family) 2. Celestia and Luna couldn’t explain it so they freaked out.

@JasperCat640 Flurry could have Earth pony magic too. It's just hard to tell because she's just a baby. I also think if pegacorns actually existed, the writers would've explained that eventually in the show, since I think it's quite important for the audience to know. They wouldn't just have every character call Flurry an Alicorn for the rest of the show. If these so called Pegacorns exist and are openly using both their Pegasus and Unicorn magic in public, then wouldn't their existence at least be somewhat known to Equestria already? Despite there being so few? I think a pony prancing around with a horn and wings would cause quite a stir amongst other ponies.

It seems like Flurry will be just as powerful as other Alicorns. The only thing we don't know is if her lifespan will be just as long. But she clearly has some Alicorn magic. I think it's really just a genetic thing. Cadence so far is the only Alicorn we know of to have a foal. It could be possible that if Celestia, Luna, or Twilight had a foal, the foal could be an Alicorn too.

That sounds horrifying but cool at the same time

@JasperCat640 But didn't Lauren Faust also state that Luna and Celestia were born as alicorns or am I mistaken?

@what the hell is that? the theory is more logical, and based on other things in the show, and the end credits scene in the g5 movie, earth ponies have natural strength and they can make plants grow fast, based on the fact that the apple family’s orchard is always full, and pinkie’s backstory suggests it can also have something to do with rocks, but that could be something to do with the strength.

Candidcream (I think that was his channel name) also had a plausible theory, that based on the times of when the episodes came out in relation to each other, cadence was pregnant during tirek, so flurry could’ve gotten her wings just from surviving her mother giving up her magic.

great theory but she's definitely an alicorn. A “pegacorn” really? That just doesn't make sense to me. And if we're being honest earth ponies don't really have any special powers to show off. Everytime earth pony powers are explained it's very vague and faint as to what their actual powers are. An alicorn is basically an earth pony with horn and wings, there's not really much of a difference, so you can't really tell if Flurry Heart has earth pony magic or not. The series itself confirmed she was an alicorn, so this theory is just all over the place.

Wait, can fraternal twins absorb into each other??? To google!

@Biker Dash She barely have any role and we never see her growing up. I am just saying. Besides, that what the staff said and as Jim said there's many decisions maker and he simply just one of them, the same going for Lauren Faust, she simply just one of the decision makers. It's simply means her decision that Alicorn cannot be born was rejected later on in the series. But hey, if you still stubbornly believed that's okay, I respect that because we seen in the last problem that Flurry Heart appear in the Twilight's throne room stained glass. It was a stained glass with Flurry Heart flying above the Crystal Empire and the Crystal Heart. Sawtooth's theory said something about Flurry Heart restoring the Crystal Ponies's magic and fully recovered the Crystal Heart. Which means Flurry Heart did something worthy of Alicornhood. This means the staff aware that some people were unhappy that Flurry Heart was born an Alicorn and hinted an event that focusing on Flurry Heart did something worthy of Alicornhood. So while we leave what Flurry Heart is to our imagination, we did know she did something worthy of Alicornhood and in the end still an Alicorn.

@Wolfwhisper it would make it so she has ALL THREE tribal magic types within her. Otherwise, you're just taking a massive crap on a whole tribe while the other two get thought of as "being better than the third".

@Biker Dash But what example COULD we possibly get of her using earth pony magic? It's not like it's something anyone sees often or is even aware of... so this doesn't mean much.

@TwilyEllie the potent magic was very likely passed down from her magically powerful parents, with the magical abilities combining to make it more powerful. And if you look in the background of more than half of the episodes THERE IS AN ALICORN, and Celestia and Luna just were never informed. It got lost in other more pressing matters and a doctor explained it to the parents of all of the said parents of the other alicorns. Flurry only got to them because they were likely there when flurry was born, and Celestia and Luna had never heard of any of the other alicorns, especially since most of them are adults so they were reported when Celestia was running equestria by herself and Luna never heard of them because she was in the moon.

@JasperCat640 I don't think this holds up. Celestia and Luna are clearly shocked by the birth of an alicorn, stating that no such thing has ever happened before in Equestria.
If it were something as simple as a physical abnormality during a pregnancy, it surely would've happened before, and the sisters wouldn't be so surprised by this.
Not to mention that everything about Flurry, including the potency of her magic, points to her being a proper alicorn.

@IndoDINO Youtube based on sawtooth’s theory, both of them are alicorn because they were surrounded by the magic of all three tribes

Still don't explain Cozy Glow or now Sunny

Still don't explain Cozy Glow or now Sunny

@Mohd Ghazali The strong unicorn magic could have been combined from Cadence and Shining, sorta like a dominant trait.

Two babies absorbing each other. A lovely thought indeed. (I'm just kidding)

@JasperCat640 Don't worry, I do understand that you're talking about Flurry Heart and wholly unrelated to Sunny being an Alicorn. Just decided to share my opinion on Sunny being an Alicorn since we're on a topic of Alicorn.

@Mohd Ghazali this is a good point but we were talking about flurry heart. But this is a very good point about sunny, she did do enough if it has to be earned.

Also, my theory was building off of sawtooth’s about a pony needing to be surrounded and infused with the magic of all three tribes and flurry was only infused with the magic of two tribes.

@Emily Spearman so if you look in the background of basically every other episode SOMEONE made an “animation error” of there being what looks like an alicorn in the background. The most famous two are in one of the mainhattan episodes where one is seen flying around while holding stuff up with his magic and the other is in the concert episode which I forgot the name to is that when several people gather in the crowd towards the beginning of the episode one pony is an alicorn other than twighlight

@JasperCat640 I am just telling you my opinion. Not implying you on anything. Sorry, if it seems otherwise. I am still learning English, my word can be quite confusing.

@JasperCat640 Well, okay but I am just gonna say that I think Sunny earn her Alicorn. In fact, I think it's unfair that her Alicorn is a temporary form. She literally fought for a change and unity her entire life alone in a world full of mistrust and hatred between the three pony tribe. Early in the movie right before she met Izzy, Hitch even said the he's the last friends she had in the whole town. That still doesn't count the death of someone inspired her to fought for the friendship of the three pony tribe, her father leaving her alone on her own. Nearing the end of the movie, when she failed to bring back magic, Sunny told her friend that everywhere she go, she only caused problems and she never able to made any changes which I think speak volumes of the struggle she faced throughout her entire life. Remember, early in the movie how Phyllis reacted to her son and Hitch played at Argyle house. I think Sunny might be facing the same treatment. Not just that, she learnt at school that Pegasi and Unicorn eat Earth Ponies hooves by grinding them. Imagine the struggle she had to endure in her entire school life. But she survived, her song gonna be my days literally said "I am never worried about upsetting cart or wonder where I belong, I heard it enough,". Plus she inspired the three leader of the three ponies tribe about friendship with her speech by the end of the movie and she even bring back magic to the world eventhough (from an Earth Pony perspective) it would not benefit her in any other way. She simply do it for her newfound friend eventhough one of them, Izzy never asked for it. Sure, she didn't save the Crystal Empire from Sombra or saving Equestria from Nightmare Moon and bring back Princess Luna like pre-Alicorn Twilight did but I think Sunny earn her Alicorn form like pre-Alicorn Twilight. She did so much and struggle,  yet people think she did nothing much.

@Emily Spearman That would depend on Equestria law which we'll never know. Twilight have her coronation as a princess right after becoming an Alicorn.

@Mohd Ghazali it makes me wonder if more unicorns and pegasus having children would result in more alicorns like flurry or would she had needed cadence already being alicorn to be one herself? i assume shining armor's magic just boosted it a bit with the already alicorn magic.

There was something in the comics too about distant royals to celestia and luna who have a male alicorn baby a few years older than flurry if im not mistaken. but he was too born alicorn. I think the arguement should be alicorn doesnt mean your royality, just that you have a lot of magic potential.

@abner ruan it’s something that actually happens

wait,the twins absorving each other genetics is something that could actually happend,or is it magical chananigans?

@Mohd Ghazali yeah, I’m gonna stay on team Lauren Faust (who said alicorns can’t be born) and stick with the flurry heart being a genetic chimera, and Celestia and Luna just not actually knowing that much about genetics and not knowing how many pegacorns there are.

I hope you're not going to get angry, i am just saying thats what Jim say.

I am sorry, but you sound like you're trying too hard to forced the believed that "Alicorn should be earn". Literally every Alicorn in existence called Flurry Heart Alicorn. If it was simply a "Pegacorn", then why would Celestia and Luna said it was even beyond their understanding. Celestia even said that her magic is much stronger than the normal unicorn. There's no evidence to say she isn't an Alicorn. The fact the character called her as such mean the staff meant Flurry Heart as an Alicorn.

On January 28, 2016, in response to a Twitter questioning of "the logic of cluttering things up with yet ANOTHER alicorn princess", Jim Miller said to "understand that I'm not the ONLY person making decisions. I have input but I win some and lose some." In an Equestria Daily interview, "Big Jim" stated, "I seem to recall that this actually came more from a storytelling opportunity rather than exclusively from Hasbro Brand, but they were excited about the possibility of a new alicorn." According to Jim, he meant from a storytelling perspective that it's possible for an Alicorn to be born, not to directly included it in the series but Hasbro were excited about a new Alicorn, so they put it in a show, when people criticized the decision to make an Alicorn baby. Maybe in your headcannon it is but the series cannon, sorry, Flurry Heart is an Alicorn.

@Biker Dash yes, exactly! maybe later in her life she might do something that allows her to become a full alicorn like the rest of the alicorns did, making her an alicorn, but for now she remains a pegacorn.

Considering that all we've seen from her is Pegasi and Unicorn magic, (no evidence of Earth Pony magic) your theory remains sound. Though she should not be considered an Alicorn at all. I think the proper term for her would be a Pegacorn.


it surprised me how few people noticed the similarities of Sunny's and Sunset's almost-alicorn transformations when the new movie first released


Just when I think there is literally no way MLP continuity can be recovered we get a video like this that has a plausible theory. With enough assumptions and hoops to jump through there is hope for it yet!


This actually lines up really well with a theory that I’ve had for a while, that ponies will get more technologically advanced (faster than usual) and less magical, and also start resembling humans more, while humans become… not less technologically advanced, but less reliant on technology, and more magical, and resemble ponies more.<br>The worlds would also ‘get closer’ until they merge, and eventually everyone would be centaurs or something.

I feel like Sunny got it easy with becoming an alicorn. I mean, look at Twilight! She did tens of thousands of things more dangerous than reconnecting magic and reconnected magic dozens of times as well.


Literally whenever when Sawtooth Waves posts videos for us they always makes our day or night even better keep it up 🙂

@Shawn Pickett Pauley💙🎩 The creator of this video


But if Sunny restored the artifacts, what Twilight saved Equestria from could potentially happen again. I think it's more likely that Twilight (also) fused the human realm and Equestria together; it's happened with Marvel before several times, most notably when the Ultimates universe was fused with the main continuity known as Earth-616.


sunset and sunny both have sun related names. I like to imagine that sunny isn't a permanent alicorn but at time she wants she can use the energy from the artifacts to give herself a temporary power-up


Wouldn't it be cool if Sunny and friends were able to find a way to strengthen the magic in both worlds to try and bring them both closer to 100%, if this theory is true. Which it would be really cool and add a sweet tragedy to everything. Because you know she wouldn't tell the human side this plan as she would know that they'd likely sacrifice their magic if they knew how badly it was hurting Equestria.

Oooo that would be interesting tho, cuz that magic would have to be taken from somewhere, but where?


Now I see why they left that unresolved in Equestria Girls. It might lead into G5 and maybe continue Equestria Girls further.


If anyone has seen Winx:The lost kingdom, think of how when bloom wears the mask Daphne gave her, she gets her magic, and an outline of her hair and dress. This goes with the theory that twilight gave up her magic and put it in artifacts

Actually the mask was Daphne. She literally reveals herself to her parents and combines her spirit with Bloom combining both her Nymph form and Bloom's 'incomplete' Enchantix to become stronger and defeat the Ancestral Witches and saved all of domino.


"Six trinkets and a fancy scribble"

Love that


This is an interesting idea and I do love it, But there's just one tinsy tiny very important little detail that puts a whole in both theories and just raises even more questions. What Izzy said about what happened to her magic, while the gradual decline does make the most sense, with what Izzy stated it conflicts with the timeline of events, she stated that her and the other ponies had magic at one point but then it all just disappeared out of the blue. This further confused the timeline because if Izzy was old enough to know that their magic just disappeared than old was Twilight when she made her Sacrifice? And if what Izzy said is true, that would mean twilight created the crystals as a backup in case the world ran out of magic, but to have it all just disappear? Seems a little too coincidentally to me.

@Novapanthera I suppose so, but we still don't know the exact time difference between G4 and 5, so while that could work in theory I still don't think it works that well

@Flare Brush stuff like that happens all the time. stories change when they're told over and over for hundreds of years. it does make sense.

@Lidia even so it still doesn't add up, why would a gradual decline in magic be miss remembered as the magic just vanishing out of the blue?

Izzy is probably talling about the old stories she heard


I love your theories, they always make sense to me! I never would've thought of Equestria girls as a part of the solution what Twilight did. You amaze me everytime!


It's a great theory!
I doubt the writers even thought about this but I genuinely love the idea that THIS is what happened.

Much love to you for all the effort poured into each theory <3

@theflashgirl20 they thought It would be cool?

@Connor Beith if they didn t think about the cause how did they come up with sunny s alicorn form

Oh they definitely didn’t if a recent interview I read from member of A New Generation’s crew is to be believed. According to the interview, they didn’t even think about the fates of the mane 6 or why the magic went away in the first place.


For ease of remembering, my favorite summary of the three laws of Thermodynamics is:

1) You can't win.
2) You can't break even.
3) You can't leave the game.

(1) means that you cannot create energy ex nihilio. (conversely, you can't destroy it.) Incidentally, the way friendship and love can create magical energy from nothing belies magic in equestria following this rule. Changelings who take the new path are not losing their own love as they share it with others, and Twilight and friends aren't less friends with each other after each use of the Friendship = Magic rainbow blast.

(2) not only means what you described, but also means that no process is perfectly efficient, so you will always wind up with energy "lost" when transforming from one form to another. That "lost" energy isn't actually gone, but it's in a form you can't retrieve it from, and can't get useful work out of it. So you can't break even: you always lose some of the energy you had stored when you use it.

(3) just means that you can't draw energy from outside the system; if you do, you've brought that "outside" into the system and just count energy to entropy from the new total.


ive been trying to say this since you theorized how alicorns happen.
you thought one baby(flurry) screwed your theories up? well i have 2: the cakes. they have ancestors in all three tribes and yet- not acorns(yes i spelled it like that on purpose). and even if that was a fluke, they couldnt be the only ones.
also, why arent celebrities like sapphire shores or countess coloratura acorns?


I love that you never stop putting out well thought out videos, your theories are explained so well :)


You would never believe this, but I used to watch you when I was like 7 when you just started out, you got me into MLP. I’m now 14 and I Seriously thank you for making my life a little brighter


I've been waiting for you to address this topic Sawtooth, my thoughts are that given how far in the future mlp G5 takes place you would think that with the fates of Twilight and the other princesses unknown Alicorns would basically be an extinct pony species, but now that Sunny is an Alicorn (of sorts) she's pretty much the last of them, sure it's been confirmed that her trasformation is only temporary but you never know she could always trasnform back somehow in future episodes of the G5 series.

@Kathren Gacha you really think they'd announce g5 and never make a series? Its my little pony let's be real here

@ponyhorse & muledonkey.🐎🐴 I like when it's destroy-proof better

@Shawn Pickett Pauley💙🎩 sombra made the cakes bake him a black liquorice fruit that's said congratulations to their favorite supreme empire king sombra in green frosting. It was the ugliest cake I ever seen. So I sure will not be eating that one at right a way.

@Shawn Pickett Pauley💙🎩 yes it is I saw sombra distroy it.

@ponyhorse & muledonkey.🐎🐴 Not in the "My little pony🦄: Friendship👩❤👩 is magic🌠." It's not 😠

@Shawn Pickett Pauley💙🎩 the tree of hamony is gone.

@ponyhorse & muledonkey.🐎🐴 The Spirits🌠 of the Elements💎 of Harmony🎼

@Tinycat Meancat What do you mean? In the End of the Film🎥, the 3 Magic🌠 Crystals🔮 magically🌌 turn Sunny☀ Starscout♀🦄(🕊🌠)🧡 into an alicorn🦄, put together again, and restored magic🌌 to pony🦄 Equestria🏰 Land🏞. And every pony🦄 lived Happily😊 Ever💫 After💞. The End. Besides, I still like Sunny♀🦄(🌠🕊)🧡's alicorn transformation🌌

@Charlie Jones the physical horns and wings arent magical so its still possible that they exist, also remember that equestria might be similar to our world but it isnt our world, things might still work differently

maybe it'll be like some sort of power-up she can use on command. kinda like a spell but with less magic and energy. sort of things that needs time to recharge but she can use at will

Yeah, there was already confirmation that they were going to release season 1 later this year after finishing the film. The film was meant as an introduction to they’re New Generation series.

@Kathren Gacha it’s been confirmed that this year we’re getting the first season of the mlp g5 series

I don't think there will be any future episodes of mlp gen 5- But I could always be wrong~!

I’d like to think there still are other alicorns when the series starts up, only hidden from other sight. Unfortunately, the more I’m relating our real world to this G5 world, the more I’m inclined to think your right...


It's never been a mistake ✨ always a masterpiece ✨


This is an amazing theory and I like it. But here the thing. Twilight knows that magic is a skill that needs to be mastered. And in the human world only the mane 6 and sunset know how to. So if she equalizes the magic the human will lose control of it. So she would keep more magic in equestria. Because not only will the humans not know how to use it, it could also be dangerous. But the Theory is still good.


This is a brilliant, well thought out theory, and I really wish I could go along with it, but you're neglecting one detail. EQG Spring Breakdown. A special that reveals the existence of a second portal to Equestria that's open ALL the time. If the osmosis theory was true, wouldn't THAT portal have drained Equestria's magic long ago?


I love the snowfall in this video along with your OC. Awesome job SawTooth Waves. Keep up the good work. Have a wonderful day.


I hope we get al these answers in the G5 series because I’m so confused of all these questions we still need to solve.

I want them to sprinkle in lore bits and find out what happened to Sunnys dad. Why was the memory stone involved? But I also want them to have their own adventures and stories we’ll get to see play out! Curious as to how they’ll balance this stuff out! :D

I agree with you there’s a lot of mysteries about this theories ponies powers i’m very confused about what happened to twilight sparkle they never mention about her like how she disappeared or died???


@Sawtooth Waves As always, you never cease to amaze me with your theories. Although i think it is an awesome theory, I'm not sure Hasbro would consider connecting Equestria with the human realm again after so long.

In other news, have you seen the Sunny plush that came out recently? On the back, it has something about how she "defeats Sombra and his minions". Me and my brother were thinking about it and, if it wasn't a writing mistake, the most likely theory we came up with was that Discord brought back Sombra in order to "help" the Mane 5 become stronger. Think about it, he was the only one we saw that was able to bring Sombra back from the dead, and it seems like total Discord move.


Good theory. I love how things connect. It's fun watching these


Will Sunny make friends and saved the whole world she did do a lot to be a 🦄


I cam totally agree with this theory, Sunny's magic is more like a temporary thing, even a director from the movie confirmed it on an interview!


The creators are amazing! The human world and ponies connecting are amazing. It was a twist. I wonder what human Sunny and her friends are or look like in the human world.


I have a question which I like sawtooth to solve. In the end of G4 all creatures were living in harmony. Then when the pony races started diving why didn't the other creatures try to make them again to join and prove the magic behind being together?<br>Please solve this

Please solve this


Idk how this would flow into your theory, but I suspect that ounce the magic started to go maybe all the alicorns started to become mortal and alicorn don’t exists anymore. Maybe Twilight used the last of her powers in the crystals to insure that some day they will bring the magic back.


I think that the crisis in Equestria was in fact a war between ponies and imps. I think Twilight sacrificed her life to save all the magic from the imp invasion. This might have lead us to the ancient artifacts that took place in G5.


Awesome, Sawtooth! I love the theory. It all makes sense to me now. Keep up the work! 💕


I really like this theories.

But you know new generation means new mystery ,also generation 4 is still full of mysteries.
Maybe All these answers we will find in this generation .


hey! i was kinda wondering if the book that closed at the end of mlp was actually the book that sunny’s dad was researching and that’s how the G5 came to be so doesn’t that mean sunny’s dad was a really important part of G5?


I've been wondering about that crack in the mirror/portal for ages! This makes so much sense and I fully support this theory


I hadn't noticed the similarities between alicorn Sunny and Daydream Shimmer until you mentioned it. Kudos to you for catching that! And thanks for sharing this with us! ^_^
I'm curious about why unicorns (and alicorns) can't use magic in the EG world under normal circumstances. Is it because they're not used to human bodies? Maybe a unicorn who'd spent enough time as a human could eventually relearn how to use magic.
I wonder how much magic it would take to give an EG human powers. Twilight's friendship magic seemed to power up the EG Mane Five rather easily. Did the Human Five just need a spark to unlock their potential? EG humans certainly seem to pick up magic pretty quickly.


Hey I have an idea! What if Sunnys magic is like energy, like how she can sort of turn into a alicorn for a while but then has to stop for awhile because she needs to store it as magic energy. The longer she saves it the longer it's "stable"ised. Catch the joke. It's not a perfect theory but it's a theory.🤷♀


Hi sawtooth I loved your video it was very well explained,I came to point out something interesting that I noticed in one of the episodes of mlp:FIM (top bolt) season 6.Look closely at Twilights chart about flight patterns and symitry that pegasus looks very similar to the ones we see in MLP a new generation that illustration could be a prediction on how pegasus may look like later on.


That might actually explain where the wendigos went too. 🤔

I really like your theories! 😊


That seems extremely likely to have happened, given the information we get both from the movie and "Friendship is magic"


I think sawtooth is right. But not 100% we will probably get the whole story when the show comes out. I still think it's a good theory ❤❤❤


Honestly that makes a lot of sense and I think our Twilight did see cellphones so wouldn't be surprising that both world ended up helping each other.<br>Even Sunny's research had a drawing of the "memory erasing stone" so yeah.

Honestly that makes a lot of sense and I think our Twilight did see cellphones so wouldn't be surprising that both world ended up helping each other.
Even Sunny's research had a drawing of the "memory erasing stone" so yeah.


the reason for sunny not having a physical horn and wings might be from there not being anypony to perform the transformation.
twilight became an alicorn by celestia performing the transformation in her dimension, then twilight took over.
twilight would be responsible for the future alicorns to exist, but there wasn't enough magic in equestria to do so, there were no alicorns to perform the transformation on sunny.
if she was a unicorn or pegasus, then she would have both the magic and physical horn/wings


I feel you are right- Im sure, some were disagree and that's fair enough. I wish there were more to the MLP story, like how you do. tie up the loose ends or "what if this happen" or "maybe this might have happen". But i guess, some are a tiny bit "dark" than our cheery sunshine show.  it would be nice to have some sort of way to have canon answers, but i always feel good about your theory's as they are very well though out. Cant wait for the next one!


sss yea at this point, the alicorn status has just turned into a point in the check list or a plot device rather something that one should truly work for and there is no point in denying it.


I still think that in the future Sunny may become a fully fledged alicorn after completing a set of challenges. Perhaps her wings and horn would become more solidified as a result.


It was said in some sort of interview that Sunny becoming an alicorn was just a side affect. Dr.Wolf talks about it in one of his videos


seems very possible but I don't think the MLP staff would go that deep within


If the MLP writers genuinely thought of this, I could die happy.

But since they probably didn't, the next best is for them to call it canon.


My own thoughts on sunnys wings and horn is that the magic hasn't had a chance to fully settle in, since magic was gone for a long time, i think when we next see Sunny, she will have a physical horn and wings

Even if it's only temporary I hope we can see sunny engage in more adventures till she becomes worthy of becoming a alicorn since she's already set In good path. Also hoping to get to know what happened to the other creatures like the dragons and griffins and etc<br>(Also wanna know what happened to discord, totally not bcs he's my fav character or anything)

(Also wanna know what happened to discord, totally not bcs he's my fav character or anything)

@LunatheMoonDragon Yeah, but how about the unicorns being able to learn how to use magic like making things float if they never had magic before? If the old unicorns had magic before it went "Poof", then that wouldn't explain how the royal pegasi was able to convince an entire kingdom that they could fly if all grown ponies had magic before. Maybe I should write this instead of doing a reply lol

@LunatheMoonDragon Someone wrote down here that some of the staff confirmed that Sunny Alicorn form is only temporary. So, i am guessing that she would go on an adventure and maybe in the future, maybe the finale of the season she would became an Alicorn.

@Dawn Cox if I recall correctly someone working on the show confirmed that sunny will not have this form in the show, it's only temporary

True, but i guess we'll see when everything drops

The promotional material doesn’t reflect that. Not to mention, it doesn’t make sense from a toy sales and storytelling perspective to just have a character look different from the last time we saw them with no explanation.


First time I saw the movie and Sunny became an alicorn I litteraly thought of Sawtooth's alicorn video.

Small theory tho - I rewatched the movie and didn't even realize that they only had a cutie mark on one side.
That might match up with the 50% magic context in this video!


Dang it! I was literally working on a theory video about the same thing, and you beat me to the punch. Had to teach myself editing and everything. Nearly finished too. Sigh.


I’m sitting here in my car screaming “I knew it, my theory about the human world and magic was right!”

Timothy’s Beyond the Fifth Panel Entertainment


After watching the movie me and my siblings were wondering what happened to the changing when the pony tribes split are they still peacefully living together ? Are the back to their old ways ?

What happened to the alliances ?
Did they fall apart or did they slowly forget about them

Where the crystal empire now?
Has it become bridle wood ?
or is it another place

And maritime bay can't be ponyville because maritime bay is next to the sea

What happened to sweet apple acres
And twilight old castle oh also WHAT HAPpPENED TO
 ThE SCHOOL OF FREINDSHIP
I nEED AWNSERS


Fun fact's : Sawtooth Waves never fails us to entertain us and they always makes our day or night even better keep it up with the awesome work


I love your Vida so much they are all so I retesting and fun to watch <3


Your explanation is always amazingly logical👏👏👏


Can we appreciate how they change the background for each season


i personally think that harmony or the spirit of it determined that immortal or perminant alicorns are no longer needed in modern equestria


What's great about this is how you've managed to find an plausible explanation when AFAIK the writers never got that far.  The movie was the way it was because they wanted that story, they never planned the back-story.


I feel like this could be an interesting obstacle in the G5 show if there is a villain that straight up has much more powerful magical energy/power than everybody (until powerup time). I feel like it would have to be a story that shows off the progress the current generation has made to compensate for their weaknesses in magic still whether it be energy wise or straight up that everyone has to learn on the same time (the moment magic got restored) meaning there aren't wise figures the characters would know to learn from.


I also think Twilight mat have placed the remaining magic from the bewitching bell into the crystals. We can see the bell in the beginning of the movie along with all the other easter eggs. This could also explain how Sunny became an alicorn, seeing as the bewitching bell was what turned Cozy Glow into an alicorn. Although this doesn't explain why she couldn't become a full alicorn...


This theory is incredible, and it also might explain how thoroughly the influence and legacy of Twilight Sparkle was forgotten. In deciding not to take magic away from the human world, Twilight might have gone down in Equestria’s history as more of a controversial leader, with a lot of her good deeds being lost to time until only a mural depicting her cutie mark remained. Scholars like Sunny’s dad Argyle would’ve probably had historical texts that showed how the princess and her friends looked when they were alive, explaining how he made those dolls for his daughter.


So what happened in the human world, Sawtooth? I'd really appreciate it if you tackle this in the next video, it'd be a great follow-up!

Also, on behalf of the rest of the fandom, thank you for everything you've done for us all these years.

@Lidia good theory! I can see mlp eg going down the mha route

Maybe it could be similar to my hero academia? Like the same consept. More magic will be uded for bad things, more people will use magic for everyday life


since we're talking about alicorns againt there's something i want to brought up after watching your How Sombra lost his wings video you mentioned that Cozy lost her alicorn form because all the magic (from all 3 tribes) she absorved was taken back by Grogar's bell, therefore changing her back into her "natural form" pegasus . But when Celestia, Luna, Candace, & Twi's magic were taken by Tirek why did their alicorn form was still there? All of them weren't naturaly alicorns ( as we know)

Similar to the multi-animal-combos in Tartarus? Their inner magic wasn't effected by the Drain - not unless they willingly gave it up. Tirek merely shrunk when that magic was given up.


4:08 When you said this, I got reminded of that one episode where Twi became an alicorn. "You created new magic." which can make others think that magic can be created anew with enough friendship. Also remember when Tirek was taking all the magic in Equestria and the mane six got their magic back after Tirek had supposedly taken it?? You still did a super job in this theory I wouldn't have thought much else on modern Equestria if I hadn't seen this video!
Random theory- but I like to imagine Twi sent the magic to keep safe (from another enemy?) with Discord in his realm.
 I just want to see CGI Discord, man ;_; pls Netflix give us Discord

I think of it like how we say we made a fire when all we did was take energy that was already there and through rapid oxidation turn it into heat and light. She created a new way energy/magic could be used but didn't actually create additional magical energy.


I have a question I’ve been meaning to ask you sawtooth, Alicorns can age very very old, millenniums, but if this is the case, than what happened to Flurry Heart? Generation 4 Can’t be too far from Generation 5 because they did have modern technology, it was only advanced in Gen 5, and the average time between generations is usually 20-30 years. Surely Flurry heart would have lived longer than that.

Coming back to this, I might have two theories-

Theory one: I don’t think flurry heart is a true alicorn. She might have the physical attributes to be one, as well as her mother being an alicorn, but she was not created an alicorn the way that was original theorized. To be a true alicorn, a pony must do something earth shattering, as well as creating new magic. Flurry heart did not do that, she was born an alicorn. I believe, she might just have the physical traits of an Alicorn but not alicorn magic. Even though a pony can pass down physical traits to their children, they cannot pass magical ability. The chance that they’re child might have innate magical talent does not depend on their parents magical ability. If flurry heart is not a traditional alicorn, but only a physical alicorn, this would support the fact as to why she is not alive in the new generation, because she was never immortal to begin with.

Theory two: Flurry heart was killed. This doesn’t have to be an assassination, but she might have just died. Her death could have something to do with the magical crisis. First getting on how she was able to die- Alicorns are immortal yes, but they are not invincible. Many people tend to get immortality and invincibility confused quite a lot. Invincibility means that said invincible being cannot be killed or destroyed. Immortality just means said immortal being cannot die of old age because they can age eternally, however they can be killed. The fading of Magic as well as flurry heart having to run the crystal empire assuming cadence retired (or died) around the time twilight was ruling, might have made it so that not only flurry heart would die, but the entire crystal empire as well. If the magic was fading which caused twilight to have to make such a sacrifice, who’s to say the crystal empire’s magic wasn’t long lasting either? Even though it is powered by the crystal heart, magic from all of Equestria was fading, which does include magic from artifacts, because even though artifacts can store magic longer, it is still equestrian magic, meaning as long as the artifact is activated, the magic being used from it can also be sucked away. So, with this in mind, it is possible to say by the time twilight had to sacrifice herself, the crystal empire’s magic had already faded to a point where not even flurry heart could save it from being vulnerable to the arctic storm outside. It is likely the crystal empire was completely destroyed by the arctic storm due to the last of its magic fading, and along with that killed flurry heart, because she was unable to save her kingdom, as her magic would have also been fading around this time.

I don’t know, these are just two theories I came up with on my own, but I always welcome opinions :)

@kleine Wolke <br>It would be really interesting to theorize why, as in why she had to run away from the crystal empire and go into hiding????

Give the ponies their magic back please 🥺🥺


This just fits so well, i want to see the G5 so much now


the thing I want to know, then how something like your theory would affect the sociop-political world of Equestria?  The pegasi are still a monarchy and I'd say an empire if Zipp is to inherent the kingdom.  We really didn't see what tge unicorns are doing - may be a commune collective (not communism, which is a economic system anyway.  The earth ponies seem to ... not sure.  The only political example would have been Sprout creating a dictatorship, which wasn't the way the town was set up.

The point being, being an alicorn in Twilight's time was as much of a badge of office and a symbol of a ruling class.  Sunny is what would be an alicorn in the modern Equestria, but is not a ruler.  A leader and symbol of something ponies can hold point to as this is how they should be, but she doesn't have any power of law like the royals did in ancient Equesrria.


Hey Sawtooth I love your videos, and your one of my favourite you tubers bc of your remixes and theories. Thank you so much for posting this morning! (I live in AUS, different timezone and all) ~ Kawaii~Khocolate


You know how you said in the shinning armor video that twilights friends won’t be able to live as long as her well that had me thinking about the crystals maybe twilight made them to bring her friends. But they’re different types of pony’s so she had to divide them to bring them together.


Twilight was my favourite character, along with Fluttershy, so the video, " The Fate of Twilight Sparkle " was kinda hard to deal with. But great theory


You forgot the golden glow. When magic was restored to the unicorns and pegasi, the wings and horns glowed golden. Just like in the human realm when the name 6 play music and pony up. I think you already made a video on astral wings, but it wasn't right. They don't need physical strength to fly, they need magic. The one, and only example we have, is Scootallo. She doesn't have the magic to fly, but she can hover from physical strength. Bulk Biceps, has the magic he needs to fly. Sunny has permanent wings. Sunset used the magic of friendship, not EUP magic. Sunny has the magic to fly and use magic. If she didn't have the power to use magic, then she's not an alicorn. I hope you see this Sawtooth Waves!


After my love of ponies I was getting bored of it but your channel helps my child love get bigger.


Still trying to wrap up on how this pony manages to explain magical pony things with such a sciency and logical approach


Well, while that was a plausible theory, I simply think there isn't enough evidence. In this show, the rule seems to suggest that

1) All kinds of rules can be bended at will, including meta-magic, the magic that drains or uses magic.
2) Magical power is determined by personal will. (This explains why pinkie pie got magic even though she was not supposed to have it).
3) The effect of magic was determined by the beliefs that it can be done.

So, the weather goes as normal because magic has never been required to control the weather, but the collective beliefs made it a reality. Artifacts also follow this rule, being imbued with magic and behaving in the way intended by the creator, and used in the way intended by the user.

So, even the supposedly immutable things like cutie mark and color can get bent due to personal will/beliefs/relationship. While these are true, channeling this power is hard, like manipulating friendship. Those who are proficient in magic are also good at manipulating will.


I highly recommend  Vernor Vinge's book Zones' of thought series.Laws of physics are artificial creation,it can be edited out in case of some serious situation


You know what? I think your right; it's possible that the magic from Equestria got drained into the human world.


Sunny is somehow one of twilights relatives from the future I'm not sure where it would fit in to this but I believe it has something to do with sunny getting wings and a horn and wanting to reunite the three pony kinds


I literaly never knew about mysteries in Equestria and MLP EG before I cake across this channel. Keep it up


It was once said that by a certain changling that becoming an alicorn isn't something that someone else does but something that happens from a great achievement sunny however stole some stuff and even if with good intentions she's just a Robin Hood and I don't think k Equestrian Robin Hood was an alicorn so I rest my case.PS. Love your vid by.🙂


Imagine in a year we get to see a real alicorn in the next generation series 💀


I think your right but it’s a little sad to think they lost so much magic


I’d just like us to talk about how his tones get me SO invested in the story! (I mean tones of voice)


Wonder what happened to the crystal empire during this time, could they have possibly contained their magic, or are they weakend as well?


As much as I like this theory, i feel that if there had to be a sacrifice,on Twilight's or the other princesses part, it had to bea catastrophe equal to a ticking time bomb, like creating the crystals would be the only way to stop it, maybe the magic began to get pulled thru more and more to the point that Equestria was running out of magic, so to return to an equilibrium quickly, Twilight had do make a sacrifice.


She did it’s just a new feature when she needs the alicorn magic the alicorn magic comes in 😊


This makes so much sense!! This would also explain why cutie marks still exist!<br>Once again, you made an awesome theory.

Once again, you made an awesome theory.


I do like the theory but I think that instead of both worlds splitting magic evenly, it would ebb and flow with peaks and lows like a tidal influence of magic


Hi, first of all this theory sounds quite possible, second if i can request a theory video idea, i recommend talking about how the days could pass in new Equestria, since it used to take magic to raise and lower the sun and moon. I'd appreciate it if you take this idea to think about, thanks


Another interesting theory idea I just thought of. Something that many of us probably failed to pay much attention to

In MLP ANG, all the tribes believe lies about each other.

The earth ponies believe the unicorns can read minds and fry brains
The pegasi believe earth ponies are stupid, and the unicorns believe that and that they are stinky
The unicorns also believe that the pegasi can steal ponies’ sparkle

But the question is. . .how? These false claims weren’t poofed from nothing. They had to have originated somewhere

But where

@Summer Melody These prejudices are mentioned in the play, so the ponies still remember them in FiM's time. It's not far-fetched to imagine they would default to that after the tribes split again. Although the one about unicorns being snobs appears to have been lost to time (it wasn't even entirely wrong, either). In any case, the movie writers didn't come up with a reason for the tribes splitting to begin with, so I'd rather not overthink this and wait to see what the show is going to tell us about it, if anything.

@yondaime500
But that was long before FIM Season 1 Episode 1 even started, and nopony believed any of that then

So it must have started sometime between The Last Problem, and the G5 movie

The prejudices about earth ponies being stupid and pegasi being brutes was shown in Hearth's Warming Eve, so it goes way back.<br>And the thing about unicorns being able to fry brains and read minds... I mean, they can, can't they?

And the thing about unicorns being able to fry brains and read minds... I mean, they can, can't they?


I also support the theory that starswirl created the idea of alicorns, and therefore any alicorn not created by him isn't a true alicorn. Hear me out. Starswirl is one of the most powerful unicorns out there, and therefore it would make sense that he has magic more powerful than twilight. Although she is an alicorn, she understands and created the magic of friendship and even the pony of shadows said that twilight was almost as powerful as starswirl, it's that word, almost. So maybe, if twilight's essance made sunny into a unicorn, it wouldn't be as permenant as Starswirl's fix.


You know another good question would be what happened to the other creatures of equestria. I mean they had magic too. What happened?


You might be right, by connecting your video of "The fate of Twilight Sparkle" and the movie "Equestria Girls: Friendship games" I see a connection between those three events. If you really think about it. Midnight Sparkle did rip the horse statue from the human realm, leaving a crack for Equestrian magic to leak through. Thous making the main 7 more powerful than ever, not just when they sing, but when they pony up too. If you take a look at the movie Equestria Girls, you see that in the end, Twilight's element left some magic behind that transforms the human main 5 into their Pony selves, which brings back to the point that if there is a magical equilibrium, Twilight fixed that by creating artifacts that are similar to the elements of harmony. They were once artifacts too, that is until Sombra destroyed the tree and the elements themselves, but the magic of the tree remained by giving the new main 6 a tree house. Even though Equestria is still a mystery, there are still past details that can give hints to what happened after twilight became ruler of Equestria.


Theory 1: Since there is a human version of the pony version wouldn't the new AND old characters from Equestria be in the human world? Meaning all the villains, including GROGAR and Discord would be there too..

Theory 2: What would happen if both worlds met and collided?


While I think it's a fitting theory, I don't think Twilight would let things get that bad. She could easily seal the portal when she first noticed there was a problem, meaning Equestria would only have lost a small portion of it's magic while the human world would stabalize around the small magic it had accumulated. It's also stated in the show that ponies are the ones most associated with magic (Queen Chrysalis in 'To Where and Back Again' says she can't have powerful ponies using their abilities), so I don't think that most other species would have minded too much, though it might still be enough to cause problems for the ponies. There is one other thing I thought was interesting: the crystals, when united, began to make arouras, a job typically reserved for the Crystal Heart, which we know spreads light and love. This could be why reuniting the tribes brought back the magic, as more light and love was needed for the crystals to work, but it does raise another question: what happened to the crystal empire?


another thought came up in my mind, which is when twilight's taking the test at magic school, after the Rainboom, Celestia mentioned that twilight has a strong magical power from ancient（something like that）which could mean magic is disappearing over time


i just thought of something that may bring a part into this movie what if many moons later chrysalis cozy glow and tirek, broke free and maybe successfully took over the world by draining all if not most energy and sent it into a different realm. just think tirek can drain all magic, chrysalis mind controlled shining armor and shapeshifted into cadence, and cozy glow able to influence alot of ponies and shes a pegasus. so maybe tirek was confused as an earth pony, chrysalis using her magic to qttack anyone and everyone, and side note if you squint or have extremely blurry vision you can mistake her as a unicorn in the middle of chaos taking place. and the only way to end their rein in the end twilight had to do a mayjor sacrifice and created the crystals.


*smiles*  I'm VERY impressed by the attention to detail and 'logic' in this video, WELL DONE!  I'm keenly familiar with this world's 'magic' via my relationships with equines the past 45+ years.  It's this relationship that's been the basis for my appreciation for the entire MLP franchise.  My two sons were raised on G1 and I am a huge fan of G4 hoping that G5 will carry on the 'magic'...

Imagine If Sawtooth Went To College And Got A Top Science Degree Just For A "Horse Theory". Also, I Am Really Wondering What The Human World Is Doing.


This is my FAVOURITE VIDEO EVER of you! Wow. Okay, how many sleepless nights did you have while figuring this out??


im headcannoning that this is what happened to cozy glow too, it simply makes sense for them both to be given alicorn magic, but not have been transformed into an alicorn


In the new gen 5 series sunny starscout can turn from earth pony to an alicorn tho-  When the ponies fight the magic of the crystals gets weaker. Earth ponies now have magic. There's a new villain. Hope this helps! <3


i hope that in the new series there working on they find some hidden place where spike and flurry are in stasis or something. Flurry and spike are younger than the others and both have the ability to live a long time.

I could totally see the pony's traveling to the dragon lands where they meet the Queen of dragons(ember) then she guides them to a room with flurry and spike as stone statues o something.

also if discord isent in the new one I'm gonna be pissed


Hey sawtooth wave I have this question and I’ve been thinking about when I first saw the new MLP a new generation movie since many years and times have pass I wonder since all 3 pony kinds were divided there was no events like the equestria’s pony games and Best young flyers competition or the wonderbolts derby and the iron pony running with the leaves racing


An interesting theory that just popped into my head...<br>What if the Equestria Girls universe is not a different universe, but Equestria's ancient past. As in 10-20 thousand years past. And the magic rift is what triggered human kind's evolution into pony kind. And the artifacts being separated is what kept the rift closed. When the three crystals were reunited,  the rift opened back up, and remaining magic leaked into the EqG past of the pony universe somehow, triggering the remainder of ponykind's evolution.

In this episode, we explore the mysteries of equestria through SCIENCE!


If so, I still think while watching the movie what happen to other creatures like dragons and discord, he could have helped more or stop this crisis in other ways, but that's my theory :)


Honestly, I could tell that Sunny was gonna be an alicorn- like seriously the movie was to predictable and I knew right after they said “we need the Pegasus and Unicorn crystals!” That there was definitely a third one


I think there was enough magic to make her wings fully from how much magic everyone else got


can we talk about why did the cutie marks disappear in the future…?<br>i’d love to know why 😭

can we talk about why did the cutie marks disappear in the future…?
i’d love to know why 😭

In G4 when a Pony lost it's magic, it's cutie mark disappeared as well. So with 50% of the magic in the pony world, there is only 50% or cutie marks left.

But this brings another question... in G4 when the cutie mark disappeared, it slowly faded. So, with that in mind it would be more fitting if in g5, there where half transparent cutie marks on both sides, rather then only one cutie mark on one side.

But on the other hand, why even have two cutie marks on your body? One cutie mark is enough to show everyone our special ability and the thing that represents you. There is actually no need to have two of them.

But that's just what i think 😅✌


Would love if u find out more information about hippogriffs and sea ponies there history is just so interesting and strange thx ps luv ur vids


So let’s say alicorn magic is like 25 percent of the magic and the rest is split among the tribes. This would make sense for twilight to make the artifacts to give a sort of boost as it fell into equilibrium, but why would the tribes separate if they jnderstood the cost of loosing magic?


they should let sawtooth write the story for g5 that would make it so incredible


This makes perfect sense and I hope it ends up being the truth in the series


If your theory is correct, perhaps the way to finalize the physical transformation is to visit the human world and get access to the full amount of magic in both. Perhaps achieved by helping your human counterpart get a similar apotheosis, so a "new changeling path" style resonance occurs.


i wonder if theres a way to strengthen the magic in these universes?


Honestly, I still like this way better than the comics depiction. It seems more likely and reasonable for Twilight's character, as apposed to her just putting all pony magic in three crystals to keep them from arguing.


Here's my question. Wouldn't have Equestria have slowly regenerated its own magic? Cuz if magic is native to Equestria then however magic appeared in the first place would still be running and very slowly "refilling* Equestrias magic supply. While the human worlds magic wouldn't have a source to refill it unless the crack was left unrepaired.


I learned more from a mlp theory video than a science lesson. Friendship is education.


Can't wait for Flurry Heart to time jump into G5 and ruin this alicorn theory as well.<br>Seriously though this is a really interesting take and makes a lot of sense.

Can't wait for Flurry Heart to time jump into G5 and ruin this alicorn theory as well.
Seriously though this is a really interesting take and makes a lot of sense.


Perhaps in the series we might see a biological alicorn like Cozy, but only with the (below)average powers of the three tribes, and not the amped up ones like the ones in G4.


Do you spend all your time working on horse theories? Anyway my theory is that sunny's transformation is much like sunsets in equestria games but she can like idk activate it when needed or smth like that


What I'm confused about is usually the princesses and queens are alicorns but in g5 they aren't alicorns. Maybe this could be alicorns are no longer a thing


Well I have a theory: How did Twilight and the rest of the Equestrians knows the existence of the seventh element of harmony in a different world, time, place, and planet which  is earth and how did she makes a way for Sora from Kingdom Hearts to be in Super Smash Bros Ultimate?


So the remnants of the Alicorn magic and appearance are in the astral glow of Sunny

So by definition the astral glow of Sunny is a semi physical wings and horn that my theory like in Yu-Gi-Oh where the nameless pharoah has a astral projection near the pendant of Yugi

Or the Key of Yuma when Astral has a projection of being astral Note: If you were to watch Yu-Gi-Oh  Zexal and during Yuma duel with someone Astral will start disappear
@Sawtooth read this


You're amazing sawtooth! You know that right?


Another idea I have involves the other timelines created in The Cute Re-mark. Magic is confirmed to exist in most likely all of the other timelines that were shown. Since all of them have already been doomed to be "bad endings," Discord (who can create portals to other dimensions) can take magic from those universes and put them in Equestria, possibly just taking enough from all of them to bring back all of Equestria's magic, while also closing off the crack connecting Equestria and the human world in the process, leaving Equestria with all their magic and the human world with whatever they have.


Well I'm glad u answered the question I had since ur vid "The fate of Twilight Sparkle" and the question was "But what was the crisis exactly?..." at last u solved it! Thx! U r the best mlp theorizor ever! Theorizor isn't a word-


I think Sunny is the great grand child of sunset simmer🌅🥰


Windagos. It's the windagos. Twilight failed to unite all of Equestria at some point, and as long as they had magic, they'd be in danger, so she restricted it. When the new harmony hand cracks, the windagos came back and started a storm in Maritime Bay. They're not just gone. They're forces of nature


This also makes sense with your Scootaloo theory. Sunny doesn’t have her physical wings, but instead the magic ones needed to actually fly.


Great video! Now I can’t stop piecing all this together. Can’t wait to see what content you create for when the g5 series actually hits screens.


Speaking of the human world; do you have any ideas for why Celestia and Luna's human counterparts are still around?

They should've lived and died a thousand of years ago, but instead they seem to be everyone else's contemporaries, which wasn't the case for human Starswirl.


From my understanding of magic magical tears would heal overtime in a since of balance but magic can also grow


What if it's not just twilight's magic in the artifacts, we knew of many alicorns, yet only one that actually stuck around? what if twilight asked them all for help to ensure that ponies had magic for years to come but maybe something happened to make her treat it like the elements, where they had to come together to work.


That crack isn't at Canterlot where Twilight/Midnight opened all the rifts, it was at Crystal Prep so I don't think it is a rift or a candidate for being a magical crisis. I did however theorize that that wasn't a portal between world's but a trapped entity from Equestria, specifically Gaia Everfree, because let's face it, why tell a story about something unless it's important somehow.  The story served no purpose besides setting us up to eventually meet someone else from Equestria who went to the human realm long ago.  And I think we can also infer that that very same person could be a powerful sorcerer who had been fleeing from someone clever enough to chase them.  And so my theory is that Gaia Everfree was erasing memories in Equestria and finally fled into a portal they had discovered once on the other side they lost control of their magic and Clover the Clever did as well when they followed. There was a fight for the memory stone that Clover won.  Then Clover ran, hid the stone, travelled back to Equestria, and finished recording their adventure.  However realizing that if Gaia did return or someone else with malicious intentions found the information, it could cause harm, she hid the piece talking about the end of it, hoping it would only be found if necessary.  Gaia however never gave up on finding the stone and thus never left the human realm.  She got trapped somehow in the Crystal Prep statue pedestal and for some reason the magic she still held, which I have theorized everyone from Equestria still at least retains their magic, from Equestria started to escape.


I believe that Sunny Starscout is now a Permanent Alicorn Princess, because now, she is the new Princess and Ruler of Equestria.


I low key have a theory shouldnt sunset be an alicorn ever since friendship games because she was combined with the 3 tribes' magic, since it was the elements of harmony of the other girls but perhaps not bc she wasnt in that situation in the pony world but the human world


My theory is similar to this however I think the reason for Sunnis glowy added features is similar to why twiligights horn and sunsets wings and horn where they aren’t meant to be there but due to the surge release of magical energy it was temporary host till it returned to its respective owners like in friendship games. In other words I theorise sunnys horns and wings will eventually disappear and return to possibly twilight and this is a stretch however the magic reversing her death. As we saw with star swirl ponies can live a very long time and magic is capable of pretty much anything so what if twilight knew it’d revive her and possibly her friends so she took the sacrifice hoping it’d some day happen
