@Twilight sparkle The princess of friendship okay this is actually really well thought out and kind of gives me hope <b>tears</b>

@Twilight sparkle The princess of friendship okay this is actually really well thought out and kind of gives me hope *tears*

@Jaanhavi maybe because they were only transferring it instead of permanently creating something else with the magic? just my theory.

They were not born Alicorns. They said of Flurry, "His birth as an Alicorn is something that appears for the first time in the history of Equestria and that even we don't understand."

@Juju Blue That's right. Then she could give up being princess and whole equestria could fail and unicorns, earth ponies and pegasis could separate themselves by some problems bc they didn't have any princess to solve everything.

I think Twilight Sparkle is alive and protect the world because i think were is Crysalis were is monsters and ponys cant procect in movie 2021  they dont have magic in first

@xl yang probably it happened after her friends finally passed on?

@xl yang probably it happened after her friends finally passed on?

@Juju Blue the other 5  stars in her cutie mark  represents her friends, The other 5 stars are lighter than twilights (in the middle) meaning they are faded but faded long after hers. meaning she in fact died first.

@KuroiPhox I'll start with saying that it is entirely possible that they will really go the way of saying "this IS the exact same universe". But I doubt it. Why?

Because it makes more sense. Otherwise they erased their golden cows (the gen4 cast) to build g5 which is a seriously risky gambit

"Hey fans, your g4 favorites are all dead! Isn't that great? Just take these g5 ponies to replace them :)"

What if g5 ends up being bad? Then they will have wrecked two generations at once including the most successful one ever. I cannot imagine they would go that route, from a monetary point alone.

 This is a non issue if it's an AU that's kept separate from g4. Then there's also actual issues and contradictions if they were to say it IS the exact same universe.

1) The most obvious and glaring one is that G4 firmly established that ponies needed to control the world for it to work. They kept control of sun and moon,  controlled the animals, grew stuff and kept plants and weather in check etc and all that was tied to their innate magic. With magic gone, how has this world and specifically the ponies survived?

Not to mention, how do they not starve if they cannot grow crops etc and control their cattle? Then there's also the whole Windigo thing.

2) If everything fell apart, why did Celestia and Luna not intervene? Or the tree of harmony that apparently still lives, or the map?

3) Even if you were to argue that they died - lmao - why did Discord not do anything? Would he let the world Fluttershy loved fall apart like that and let her "people"/the ponies suffer?

4) Tieing into that is what I already brought up above, the whole nonsense of basing the whole 'verse on the concept of

"ALL your g4 ponies are dead."

I don't believe they would do that, why would they? There's absolutely no need for that and it can backfire horribly.

People mention things like Grogars bell and a window with Twilight's CM as hints or proof. Or it could be... I don't know... just something they threw in to cash in on g4 nostalgia without any actual logical foundation in the g5-verse, maybe? ;)

It's entirely possible and plausible to see g4 as a show or legend in the g5 verse.

There's a high chance it will never be addressed again and those were just subtle nods and Gimmicks thrown in to milk the g4 hype to get g5 going.

Again, it COULD be that you are right but I don't think it would be a wise move to make.

Especially when the ties to g4 are absolutely unneeded.

Try the thought experiment. The movie would work exactly the same if you removed any and all g4 things in there. None of it is relevant to g5's world in a way that cannot completely be ignored or be replaced by literally anything else. The one strongest drive is that Sunny takes it as inspiration to strive for friendship and unity but again that could easily be based on a peaceful past without g4 whatsoever.

Twilight sparkle The princess of friendship

@Twilight sparkle The princess of friendship Ok so, which part are you disagreeing with and what evidence do you have to back up the idea that this takes place in an AU?

@KuroiPhox I disagree with you<br>It hasn't been confirmed onscreen, anything said outside is just to generate media buzz and attention. I'll concede it's entirely possible they go that way but even then it's still obviously an AU based on g4 with all the discrepancies and inconsistencies that being the exact same world would cause. But they can deviate in whatever way they need that way.

Oh yeah, they did mention that. So it makes sense that she sacrificed her magic. Although, I don't know if this "magic crisis" was the only reason Twilight gave up her alicorn status or if Twilight not wanting to outlive her friends was also a part of it.

@Princess Fluttershy Yeah, well you stick to your headcanon champ. This isn't a spin-off, though, this is a massive time-skip. You're free to pretend that it's not, and that Hasbro will totally bow to your desires abd create more G4 content (spoiler: they won't).

No, this is a way to give the writers more freedom and diversify things. Perhaps they saw a dead-end and decided to end it. I mean, it lasted NINE seasons for goodness sakes. It had a movie, it had the EQG spin-offs but it was going to end some day.

Fans like you just, bother me. Instead of being happy that G4 exists and that you can still rewatch it anytime you want... You're not willing to let people try out new ideas, you'd rather them continue milking G4 for all it's worth rather than letting it end.

Speaking of Disney properties. You wanna know why Mickey Mouse, Goofy and that don't need changing? Because they're episodic. There's no over arching plot, unlike MLP:FiM so all they need to do is change up the animation and artstyle and BAM nothing new needs to be done to keep them relevant.

That fact that G4 lasted as long as it did, is baffling! Twilight wasn't even meant to be an Alicorn and to top it off, Season 3 when she did ascend, was meant to be the last season. Yet it was popular enough for six more seasons. This is rather unheard of for a children's show, especially one with an overarching plot to it.

I know that, G4 means a lot, especially to those it helped in horrible situations in their life but would you rather they start anew or continue on with G4 until they're completely empty with ideas? How many times do you want Fluttershy to relearn to be assertive? How many times has Rarity got to remember, being generous is her thing? Honestly, they were starting to retread certain plot points already and I can only take Dash being an insufferable jerk so many times before I begin to hate her as a character.

Tl:dr Hasbro won't continue G4. If G5 flops, they'll likely can MLP again. They're no strangers to dropping shows. Disney loves milking their properties and you're welcome to rewatch all of G4 anytime.

@Jaanhavi Read my own comment. Theory is plausible, but I highly doubt the writers really that. They didnt give a shit about G4 lore. And to reply your question, the theory says the big Cutie Mark appeared in the sky. So Something happened that make Twilight change her appearance .... again. Its not just her magic being stolen. Its making a choice and sacrificing her own self to save the magic of the 3 tribes ...

@Little Slimy actually..if u remember in the Tirek episode, he stole magic not only from pegusi and unicorns but also from earth ponies, so if Twilight gave up her magic of the  three tribes ( if u know what I mean) she wouldn't have existed bieng a unicorn or pegusi but earth pony either, this would be complete sacrifice of herself.<br>So in that case, she not only gave up her wings and horn which was obviously a part of who she was, but also she gave up her earth pony body into the earth pony crystal completely sacrificing herself

@Little Slimy hey but u are right about what u said

@Little Slimy hey but u are right about what u said

@kat Or maybe she lost her friends and then feared the magic of friendship wouldn’t live on (since she was the only remaining pony), so she created the crystals as a way to save magic and end her long immortal life to soon be with her friends. The end is a little dark but I think the first part could still match up

@Jaanhavi Any pony gets 2 type of magic. The first one is tribal, the second comes from the Cutie Mark. Earth ponies can grow food from dirt, pegasi can tend the weather, and unicorns were supposed to shift night and day ....
The cutie mark magic ... well I assume I dont to explain.
Considering alicorns gets the tribal magic from all tribes, G5 could imply Twilight gave up her alicorn tribal magic and ended up being a magicless earth pony ...

But...can an Alicorn actually be split into 3 kinds of ponies by giving up her magic? Celestia , luna and cadence gave their magic to Twilight when Tirek was on lose, they didn't loose their alicorn hood then, why would Twilight now?

@Twilight sparkle Ok Color swap of Celestia

@Twilight sparkle Ok Color swap of Celestia

@xl yang this tweet was before Flurry heart was a thing. But if Twilight isnt supposed to outlive, any children from Twilight would not outlive too. So Cadence's children would not either.

@Little Slimy no no my question wasn't about Flurry being an immortal alicorn or not, it was if the interview (or wherever the "Twilight won't outlive her friends" comes from) confirmed that Twilight will have a normal lifespan or if that was your assumption.

Sorry for the confusion 😅

@xl yang it is an assumption based on logic, a fake alicorn can t give birth to a real alicorn.

@mistymoonbow Exactly. You don't need the writers to address it to be able to deduce that dragons live for a very long time.

@Changeling King Cocoon ok. Though, Spike outliving the others is a possibility based on what we’ve seen. Dragons nap for centuries (Dragonshy). Torch was around during the Pillars’ time and was fully grown even then too (Campfire Tales).

@Little Slimy Is that confirmed or just an assumption?

@Little Slimy Is that confirmed or just an assumption?

@kat maybe her friends died before she sacrificed her immortality

@kat maybe her friends died before she sacrificed her immortality

@Seema Aravinda The logic would be that, since Flurry Heart is born from "ascended" Alicorn, she isn't in the same category as Luna and Celestia, but share the same as Twilight and Cadence.

@Princess Fluttershy in mlp wiki fandom they had mentioned that celestia and luna are immortal since they are born alicorns i dont know bout flurry heart. your theory is awesome it is true twilight has more power than celestia and could have made the gems without sacrifising the alicorn magic maybe her friends and she are still out there and g5 cant replace g4 . g4 was the best,is the best, will be the best.

@mistymoonbow I don't know the source. But it's a quote that probably predates the claim that Twilight will outlive her friends. Personally, I don't buy the claim. I'm just repeating what I've heard.

They also said that Spike wouldn't outlive Twilight. How were they going to ensure that? Kill Spike?

I'm not sure if Faust or Haspro ever have say Alicorns are Immortal.
Actual the Name Alicorn is a Fan Description for a winged Unicorn.
In the Show the Name Alicorn was fist used in Season 3 in Magic Duel (Alicorn Amulet) and the first Time a Pony has use it for another Pony was Rarity after Twilight has change into her winged Unicorn Form.
Thats why the Lore in the Book say, the Sisters use her Unicorn Powers, not Alicorn Powers.
Winged Unicors exist since Generation 2, where such a Pony appear in Eppisode 17.
Celestia is somewhere between 1200 and 1300 Years old as she retire and I could guess an Alicorn maybe live around 1300-1500 Years, what are maybe the Reason why we not see the Sisters in S9E26 (last Problem).

Twilight could create the Gems because she has the Power, but not need to give them up (she has more Magical Power as Celestia).
But after all G5 is not more as Equestria Girls, like an Spinof of Friendship is Magic.
It is a great Story with nice Char, but Fans will not see the Main 5 as Replace of the Mane 6.
Some Fans see A next Generation as a grimdark alternate Timeline of FiM, similar to Fallout Equestria, the Mirror Universe or the Starlight Realitys.
Fans like Sunny, Izzy, Hitch, Pipp and Zip because they are funny, but many look what Mane 6 is in them, like Izzy, who very much act like Pinkie Pie in many Scenes.
Like her hyperactive Behavior, the Jumping around the Unicorn Traps, serious Moments of a always happy Pony, using her Mane as Storage or more unrealistic Things she do, like laying a Tree in Seconds, just with her Horn.
I have read many Commens on different Pages and many like G5, but want to stay with G4.
Replacing the most successfull Generation of all with a new is like Disney would replace Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy with Tim Mouse, Geaorge Duck and Lazy.
But no, the disney Figures exist since over 50-70 Years and still are linked by the Fans with no need for a Replace.
So Hasbro could do the same and still create G4 Stuffm naybe remade the Generations 1-3 in a better Version and modern Technic behind them and still run G5.
I know I will not switch to Hitch, just because he is the only with an old Element, who are actual my Element too (G5 not even has Elements, the Gems are no Elements).

@awesometacular actually after. Lauren left production after season 2, so she has nothing to do with Twilight becoming an alicorn.

Meghan McCarthy (the one who stated Twilight will not outlive her friends, idk why some people say it was Lauren) was showrunner for S3/4, and was executive producer for the rest of the series after that. She did work on both the G4 movie and the G5 movie.

She’s still involved with MLP so I think what she said in 2013 still stands.

That was back in the days that Lauran Faust was in charge, that no longer applies after she left the show after season 2. Assuming this theory is correct it could have been centuries after the passing of her friends where this sacrifice had to be made.

@xl yang maybe she could die of other causes besides old age.

@xl yang maybe she could die of other causes besides old age.

@kat But nothing proves her friends were still alive when she did it, you don't see them on the window but different ponies. She could have done it centuries later.

"Twilight will not outlive her friends" in the sense of her having a mortal lifespan or in her friends will get access to life extension spells (Celestia, Starswirl, Discord, Luna)?

@Lever Yawn Yes, but if we are going by the theory that Twilight sacrificed her alicornhood to create the crystals, she will also sacrifice her immortality and thus not outlive her friends

That Hasbro (Meghan McCarthy) comment was made wayy back in 2013 when Twilight was only a alicorn princess. But as we can see in the last episode in 2019, Twilight Sparkle became the ruler of Equestria and still looking young unlike the rest of Mane 6 were aging old like a normal pony.

Edit: So, pretty much Twilight will outlive her friends


Honestly, I sort of consider them to be different continuities. Like a take it or leave it kinda thing. G5 uses G4 as a base, but G4 doesn't necessarily have to lead to G5. Like one of those offshoot timelines from the comics. That's just my comfortable take.


I somewhat liked the movie, while still seeing flaws in it (but hey, it's the beginning of a completely new storyline. It's going to have some flaws in any case, I'm sure). I'm sure those flaws will get better as the first begins and progresses. But wow do I love this theory! It really does make sense with how you explained it! I hope this is real close at the least to what Hasbro has in store for the series!


To be honest I think that Twilight did sacrifice herself BUT she just turned into a spirit  and I think is making sure magic still somewhat exist <br>though it is not evident Is still there.

though it is not evident Is still there.


What I think happened to the Crystal Empire was that an entire war or fight happened, like Sawtooth said, and the Crystal Heart shattered and Winter came again. Flurry Heart survived but, like Tempest, her horn got destroyed and blamed all the Earth Ponies and Unicorns. So she became Queen Haven. But I don’t know it’s my theory.


I've always felt like alicorns can still die, they just age way slower than the average pony.

Oh, and all this time I thought that alicorns were immortal.

I assume

@Shawn Pickett Pauley💙🎩

@Stickboy 26  The first alicorn birth in Equestria, yes.<br>They didn’t even know anything about it.

@Stickboy 26  The first alicorn birth in Equestria, yes.
They didn’t even know anything about it.

@Final Froggit Approaches didn't Celestia say in "The Crystalling" that Flurry Heart was the first known alicorn birth?

So thpse that mean 1000000000000000000000000000000 years equal to 40 years old or something

So like the Asgardians from marvel/the mcu

I think alicorns do die of old age but they still live for a few eons. In the Show Celestia and (maybe) Luna are about 2000 years old and still somewhat young.
I personally believe that g5 takes place about 500 years into the future, so Twilight, Cadance, and Flurry should all be about 500 years old and still very young for alicorns.
If what Sawtooth says is the case, then Cadance and Flurry should still be alive at least. Maybe they’re staying in the Crystal Empire and taking care of the crystal ponies, maybe the empire disappeared again with Flurry and her parent(s?) still inside?

@Briseur De Lance actually I believe you’re dead on with that part

@Fantasy-Artist Mortal alicorns like Cadence and Flurry? Why would they be?

@Final Froggit Approaches one problem with that it is implied the Celestia and Luna were born unicorns and Twilight seemed to have aged the same way Celestia and Luna had but you are on the right track<br>With MY theory at least

@Final Froggit Approaches one problem with that it is implied the Celestia and Luna were born unicorns and Twilight seemed to have aged the same way Celestia and Luna had but you are on the right track
With MY theory at least

@Fantasy-Artist I always figured the immortal alicorns were Celestia, Luna, and Flurry. The mortal alicorns being Cadance and Twilight. Basically, if you are born an alicorn, you’re immortal. If you’re turned into an alicorn, you’re mortal. That’s my line of thinking at least.

I agree!! I mean Celestia and Luna are gone!! So it makes sense!

Don't be ridiculous😠! Alicorn🦄 ponys are not gonna die💀. I don't believe that😡, ever😤

<b>meanwhile me with a headcanon where alicorns aren't very special except for their cultural position</b> XD

*meanwhile me with a headcanon where alicorns aren't very special except for their cultural position* XD

@Kyle Darian I never thought of it like that<br>Just be clear I’m not talking about the height thing I always noticed that but I never realized being immortal was a choose for alicorns or how it can be transformed like from Celestia to Twilight

@Kyle Darian I never thought of it like that
Just be clear I’m not talking about the height thing I always noticed that but I never realized being immortal was a choose for alicorns or how it can be transformed like from Celestia to Twilight

@Fantasy-Artist I think alicorns just grow taller if they age for long enough. Obviously it caps out at some point and there is also some variability in height. There's even evidence in the show that alicorn twi becomes slightly taller then the standard pony and that was only a couple years at most. I also think an alicorn can maintain immortality if they choose too hold onto the alicorn magic, but it can be transferred like how it was in the season 4 finale.

@Fantasy-Artist Personally, I think Twilight isn't immortal.<br>Also there is a chance that every Alicorn can actually give up their Alicorn hood if they really have too.

@Fantasy-Artist Personally, I think Twilight isn't immortal.
Also there is a chance that every Alicorn can actually give up their Alicorn hood if they really have too.

I think their two main types of alicorns
Mortal alicorns such as Cadence, Flurry, and the alicorn  illustrations from “Hearts and Hooves Day” and “The Crystaling Part:1”
Immortality alicorns witch are Celestia, Luna, and Twilight Sparkle


I almost started crying, this was such a sad thing that could’ve happened


Maybe the magic was slipping away from pony universe (sawtooth made a video on it) so to keep it safe she sacrificed her alicorn powers and asked the citizens too (in a respectful manner of course not like tirek) to keep it safe and with the time magic slipped on and on until everypony was magicless it's more like an investment than sacrifice but still Twilight sacrificed her alicorn powers, she must taken that as investment and ignored what she sacrificed 😞


This is the best theory! I was trying to figure out what happened, but this theory makes the most sense. I do wonder though, what if Twilight is the crystal? And what if there is a way to bring her back the way she was able to bring back Star Swirl the Bearded?


Objection!
The most shocking conclusion goes to your video on the lost timeline.
And my comment under this video, I add a little detail to it that is what really made my head explode.
I love your videos and how My Little Pony goes too far really often.


If you look closely, the purple "triangles" behind each of the crystals in the mural. If you put them together, they would match Twilight's Cutie Mark.

♡꧁ℂ𝕦𝕣𝕖 ℙ𝕣𝕠𝕦𝕕꧂♡

Your right it definitely has something to do with twilight!

Oh hey , you’re right , I didn’t notice that! Good one aha

Thats what I thought, glad someone noticed too

@Kenma Tree —.— Overlap all three shapes onto eachother, then compare.

Could u explain? There are three points behind the three ponies below, nine not six, how did you mean it matches up? I want it to be true it’s a cool theory but don’t understand

Oh...my...gosh. You're right! Good eye there!! I think this could cement this theory!!!


Thank you for these theories😮💨I don’t like loose ends. So this helps plus you’re entertaining!😄


Hey! I've been watching your videos for a while, and I have my own theory about The Next Generation. In one of your videos, you did a time line without Twilight Sparkle. What if that timeline, IS The Next Generation? Think about it, if Twilight and Spike suddenly diaspeared, no one could replace them and Princess Celestia would have to find someone else. But what if she never did, and the tribes seperated. I don't know if this is a good theory or not, but I wanted to share my thoughts! I love your videos and can't wait to see more. :)


I agree with everything you said sawtooth, but if twilight's alicorn magic was again separated, the process couldn't have been seamless, some remnant of alicorn magic is still inside the crystals that she made which is why sunny became an alicorn. when the tribes were reunited it must have powered that remnant of alicorn magic and gave sunny alicorn magic. as for the different looks, the magic must have evolved and given her alicorn parts a new look, like how discord's magic seeds grew over many years. if you remember, there is a scene where the vines play a sort of whack-a-mole kind of game with applejack. it might have been a funny gag to laugh at, but it shows that its intelligence also evolved and it was learning applejack's movements. this might answer the question, I don't know. can you tell me what you think, sawtooth?


My theory is that whoever created the universe (the god pony) then divided her/his power to Celestia and Luna and let the rest of her/his magic wither away with time. Maybe Twilight knew about the continuous subdivision of magic and created the crystals to at least leave something behind for the future generations when she inevitably passes down her magic and fades away. She probably did the same thing with Celestia and Luna’s magic so day and night cycles could be run automatically (or that Celestia and Luna are still alive or that they are literally the sun and the moon and therefore cannot die).


The crystals activated when the tribes realized it was friendship they needed, which holds true to Twilight's ideals as well.

do you think that king thorax will be mad at sawtooth?

@CassiopiaBean  then i want king thorax gone.

but his mother chrysalis know knock some scene into him by wracking him with her purse.

@ponyhorse & muledonkey.🐎🐴 So you ADMIT to lying.

@ponyhorse & muledonkey.🐎🐴 Ok pony Aaron Rodgers.

Go away and stop spreading lies


Not gonna lie if you think about it more, the theory that Twilight un-became an alicorn is just kind of dark. The theory legit says she sacrificed her magic that basically kept her from not dying. Basically what it means is Twilight is dead 😶 😳

HOLD UP, WAIT A MIN, SOMETHING AIN'T RIGHT

Twilight isn't dead aka officially gone, there is a G5 episode that shows twilight sending a message to the Mane 5, Well yeah i'm sending this REALLY late from when this video was made but whoever didn't see Make Your Mark,

I watched a lot of your videos relating to this topic and did some research of past canonical episodes and came up with this (Yes, I understand it's very long, but I took the liberty of investigating the most likely possibilities, cross-checking references, and bouncing around several theoretical ideas):<br>What if she saw a future where the magic would fade? Or a villain that would again attempt to rid the world of magic? I've seen your videos on how to reform Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy Glow, and seeing as how effective the main characters are at converting villains into secondary or background characters, I don't think those three will be an issue in the future (at least long term). So what if an even more powerful villain stepped into the spotlight? I'll refer back to your video, "Did Grogar Bail Out Nightmare Moon?". As we know, Discord was only pretending to be Grogar to use Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow as pawns in his own plan to show Twilight and her friends that they were ready to take over the mantle from the royal sisters. In the segment with Dr. Wolf present, he mentioned that when Cozy Glow drained Equestria of it's magic there could've been a temporary weakening of the (theoretical) spell that had banished Grogar to the constellation we know as Aries. Well, what if he was right about what happened, but wrong about WHEN. As we know, powerful magic takes a lot of strength to conjure up. What if the spell was weakened enough for him to escape, but not yet take action? We've seen a situation similar to this before. Tirek. It's stated in the Season 4 finale (Twilight's Kingdom) that Tirek was able to escape when Cerberus had left it's post in Tartarus. The only time the show mentioned Cerberus leaving it's post was in Season 2, Episode 20 (It's About Time). This means that in the vague amount of time that passed between a little over 2 seasons, Tirek was free, but still weak. It took a long time for him to grow strong enough to take any action. This could theoretically apply to Grogar as well. And as it has been shown in the show, Grogar was most likely one of the most powerful creatures/villains in Equestria. His power was only rivaled by the wits of Gusty the Great. Brains beat brawn. All of this to say, if Twilight had a premonition of an event so catastrophic that she took such an extreme and desparate action like sacrificing herself to create the 3 crystals, perhaps she saw the return of a much stronger and wiser Grogar. One who had been watching over Equestria for many millennia, learning how to avoid defeat and plotting his return and ultimate revenge. He could grow to become even more powerful than beings such as Discord, a fully-powered Tirek, an possibly even the elements of Friendship. What if she creates the crystals as a counter-measure, one that she hopes Grogar won't see coming. Her friends call together the creatures of Equestria and beyond to once again stand together and defeat Grogar for the final time, getting rid of him for good. After his defeat, and the fall of Twilight, someone else picks up the mantle as ruler of Equestria. But, the ponies of Equestria slowly begin growing closer to their respective crystals as time goes on. The memory of the stand against Grogar and the magic of friendship fades and the three pony kinds finally go their separate ways, growing more distant as generations pass down new ideas and traditions, until the past is completely forgotten. But, to explain the building of the stained glass mural in Zephyr Heights, I want to estimate that it was probably built before the tribes had become hostile to each other, before the magic faded completely. But, then again, that's just a theory, a PONY THEORY!! 😅

I watched a lot of your videos relating to this topic and did some research of past canonical episodes and came up with this (Yes, I understand it's very long, but I took the liberty of investigating the most likely possibilities, cross-checking references, and bouncing around several theoretical ideas):
What if she saw a future where the magic would fade? Or a villain that would again attempt to rid the world of magic? I've seen your videos on how to reform Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy Glow, and seeing as how effective the main characters are at converting villains into secondary or background characters, I don't think those three will be an issue in the future (at least long term). So what if an even more powerful villain stepped into the spotlight? I'll refer back to your video, "Did Grogar Bail Out Nightmare Moon?". As we know, Discord was only pretending to be Grogar to use Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow as pawns in his own plan to show Twilight and her friends that they were ready to take over the mantle from the royal sisters. In the segment with Dr. Wolf present, he mentioned that when Cozy Glow drained Equestria of it's magic there could've been a temporary weakening of the (theoretical) spell that had banished Grogar to the constellation we know as Aries. Well, what if he was right about what happened, but wrong about WHEN. As we know, powerful magic takes a lot of strength to conjure up. What if the spell was weakened enough for him to escape, but not yet take action? We've seen a situation similar to this before. Tirek. It's stated in the Season 4 finale (Twilight's Kingdom) that Tirek was able to escape when Cerberus had left it's post in Tartarus. The only time the show mentioned Cerberus leaving it's post was in Season 2, Episode 20 (It's About Time). This means that in the vague amount of time that passed between a little over 2 seasons, Tirek was free, but still weak. It took a long time for him to grow strong enough to take any action. This could theoretically apply to Grogar as well. And as it has been shown in the show, Grogar was most likely one of the most powerful creatures/villains in Equestria. His power was only rivaled by the wits of Gusty the Great. Brains beat brawn.

We miss Twilight and the whole friendship is magic series<br>EDIT: Its so nice that some people are still out there making videos about it.

EDIT: Its so nice that some people are still out there making videos about it.


Oh my god ! I can’t believe that you can see THAT connect. I mean, i did watch the movie my little pony a new generation but, how ever. Even when I watch that movie a hundred time, i still can’t see that connect between Twilight Sparkle and the crystal in the movie my little pony a new generation. I have to say, you did a pretty good job. You are a genius. ❤


This makes so much sense! Especially considering the fact that her friends probably aren’t immortal! She would die with them, the tribes would still have their magic, the unknown “crisis” would have been delayed for a while, it seems like it would have been her best solution.

@voltron457 i said like the tree of harmony. The tree was destroyed and thr treehouse of harmony is a normal tree now in sunny s world

@theflashgirl20 it would explain how the tree of harmony made an exact replica of twilight but we don't know if the tree house of harmony still exists l

@voltron457 what if sunny somehow will get bits and pieces of twilight s memories or wisdom. Or better, what if twilight becomes like the spirit of the tree of harmony guiding sunny

@Fantasy-Artist well I may have a answer with her sacrifice it would stand to reason when she created the crystals her mortal body was gone her fragments of her soul and magic inside each of the crystals when they separated the magic would slowly vanish without a ruler to lead them twilight was soon forgotten from history just like luna was back at the start of fim and soon the tribes blamed eachother for the magic disappearing in turn the tribes left with their respective crystals taking twilights magic with them and at the end when the crystals are restored it's clear twilights soul sensed the hope and courage within sunny which while not to be seen it was twilight who gave sunny the alicorn status as her successor

The only question I have is what caused the crisis, why were ponies suddenly losing their magic considering it was a part of who they are


So far this is the closest I think anyone has come to what makes the most sense. There is an intense emotion coming from the fact that it’s a mystery. It’s fascination. But I still wish we could have been there when it happened. I want the new generation ponies to delve into history and figure out what happened. I want them to tell us what happened to twilight. I wonder if she not only turned her alicorn magic Into crystals but also her land pony form into them as well. Sacrificing her figure and her life. It would make sense. The unicorn magic would be the blue crystal and the Pegasus magic would be the crystal that looks like wings. While… the land pony crystal would be the circle stone. Not only removing her wings and horn but also her physical being. Making the ultimate sacrifice. I cried a little bit.


I actually agree with you on Twilight's sacrifice for Equestria. The mural in the station under the Pegasus castle explains the event as perfect as you said it would. Very tragic, as a matter of fact. And maybe with magic gone, the mirror to the human world must've shut down completely as well.


Alternate thought on the crystals: Princess Twilight knew she wouldn't be able to teach everypony her lessons, so she created the crystals to let them "walk a mile in each others' horseshoes", so to speak. In the stained glass mural, the wings and the unicorn horn look like the ones Sunny got at the end of the show. That's great, but if all they do is give a pony new wings or new magic, why did the Earth Ponies need a crystal?  My thought: The crystals didn't just give a pony new powers, it would take them as well. Any Pegasus or Unicorn would become a simple Earth Pony, no wings, no magic, for a short time.
What if the ponies separated the crystals and tried to hide them to make sure they never lost their special magics?

Tbh I was thinking that she sacrificed EVERYTHING about herself; wings, horns and body, and maybe even sort of turned herself into those crystals. As for the other alicorns, maybe smth happened to them that caused them to be unconscious and trapped (like how discord was turned into a statue), or twilights magic alone wasn't enough to fuel equestria, so they all had to sacrifice themselves (which would fit, given the friendship theme). Plus it'd make sense since the sun and moon rise on their own now. Also, since I saw someone else mention it, I personally like the idea that sunny and her father are related to twilight or just one or more of the mane 6.


It definitely makes sense now. I can totally see Twilight sacrificing herself so the magic of friendship can live on. She probably knew that a new hero would answer the call of friendship, and bring everyone back together.

She was like: “New generation? Wait imma have to change my animation?! Mmmmm yeah no thanks”

She gave up her magic in order for everybody else to regain their but only when they come back together


After watching your video a few weeks later I had a dream about Twilight...
I couldn’t remember villians of this dream, but they hurt Twilight somehow and she was falling down and smashed into plate-glass window and she... died.. just like that..
And her best friends were just watching how she was falling and then laying dead... 🤭😞
After that moment my dream blackout


Though this makes you wonder, “what happened to the other alicorns of equestria?” They couldn’t have just disappeared because alicorns have VERY long lives

¥*ɢe̸n͜͡s͜͡h͜͡i͜͡n͜͡ B͜͡l͜͡o̸sso̸m͜͡s͜͡*¥


Does anyone remember how magic was draining from equestria very slowly into the human world? (I didn't finish the video in case he said it) But that's basically the theory I have: Magic leaked out into the human world and twilight needed to create artifacts to contain magic.


"Though it's quite the dramatic story—" <b>it's so much better than the movie.</b>

"Though it's quite the dramatic story—" *it's so much better than the movie.*


This theory would also explain why Sunny “became an alicorn” with magic wings and a horn. She was the pony to bring them together and they must’ve given her some of Twilight’s alicorn magic.

She's not an actual alicorn, it was only temporary. If you look at the new upcoming mlp toys, you'll see sunny doesn't have wings or a horn anymore, but she does still have the rainbow streak in her hair

Maybe i dont now but i think your on to something


I remember when I watched you in like 2014 or at some point around then. But I’m so happy that you’re still making videos!!!


Dude this whole franchise is gonna make me cry a river.

I want twilight back 😭


I disagree, as it states somewhere that Twilight died of old age.
My Theory:
As you say, Twilight created the crystals. But, it most likely did not lead to her fate.
I believe that after creating the crystals, which has the power of all three tribes, she went back to being either her old self (a unicorn) or a normal pony, seeing as she shed her power into making the crystals. Or, she could have remained in her alicorn form, still reigning as princess, but with no magic whatsoever. It's likely that this would have happened instead of her dying - seeing as, in "Twilight's Kingdom Part Two" the 3 other princesses (Celestia, Luna and Cadence) shed their magic to Twilight, and they did not immediately die off after throwing away their magic to Twilight. Yet, the oldest of the Alicorns (Celestia and Luna) would probably not last long, seeing as their age would probably kill them off the following week, where as Cadence would have survived longer as she is really only just older than Twilight maybe by like 7 years or so. So maybe, Twilight lived maybe 60 or more years after that as an almost normal pony. So, am I right, or am I wrong?


I think that she gave up her magic in the artifacts because she knew that she couldn't last forever just like Celestia and Luna, and so ponies could revert back to a non friendship having community. In knowing this she created the artifacts to make sure ponies continued being friends and if they stopped they would loose their magic. It was like a fail safe incase it got sooo bad that new enemies were created. If those enemies had strong magic while all the ponies of the world were not friends, then the enemies would win. Without magic any newly formed enemy would not be able to use magic if the rest of the ponies were not united.


This makes a lot of sense. Since Sunny Starscout believed that all 3 tribes of pony’s could become friends again, she became an alicorn and it could possibly be twilights magic inside Sunny’s veins.

Y'all Sunny isnt an alicorn. If you look at the new upcoming toys from mlp, you'll see she doesn't have wings or a horn anymore, but she still has the rainbow streak in her hair 💀

Though Sunny and her dad could be Twilight's descendants through Flurry Heart.

@𝓟𝓡𝓘𝓢𝓜𝓢𝓗𝓞𝓦𝓔𝓡𝓢_𝓟  Omg, that’s a cool thought

Sunny must be a descendant of Flurryheart

𝓟𝓡𝓘𝓢𝓜𝓢𝓗𝓞𝓦𝓔𝓡𝓢_𝓟

Her name is Sunny Starscout. Maybe becoming an alicorn was her destiny. 'Sunny' means new and bright. That might mean that it was her destiny to be the alicorn of a new era. Maybe also she's related to twilight somehow. Their names r rather similar.

"I HAVE THE POWER OF A ANCIENT PRINCESS FLOWING THROUGH MY VEINS AHAHAHAA" not cannon sadly vnv


I don't know if anyone has talked about it, I've certainly never heard anyone talk about it. But Sunny's father is the only one who remembers the story of the main six besides his daughter, and that's only because he taught her. And he looks exactly like Twilight, and wears her cutiemark as a pendent around his neck.<br>What if he's her descendant? Making Sunny also related by blood to Twilight which is why she's so special.

I think this is really interesting. The artifacts themselves obviously didn’t contain enough magic to work on their own, because even united they didn’t work until all the pony kinds got along again. They needed that spark, kind of like the elements of harmony needed the spark of the Mane 6 in order to work. The elements only ever worked when all 6 of them were together and represented their element, which is shown in part 2 of the return of harmony when they first attempted to defeat Discord without Rainbow Dash and after they’d all been turned into the opposite of their respective element. Of course there is still the question of the other alicorns and the sun and moon thing but that’s a whole other deal.


To be Honest this is Really a Great scenario you dipcted sawtooth ,I myself have been wondering were the Hell is Twilight  and where did these Crystal's come from ??!! The way you dipcted it was Very amazing and what I belive the Creators of G5 want us to belive or belive something similar to it , So hats of to you :D . It is sad though (in a bittersweet way) that it had to come to that for equestria and twilight but at least she is with everypony that she ever loved where ever they are after a pony or a creature of equestria passes and if you're theory is true im wondering what crisis would have led her to do such a sacrifice (maybe cozy,tirek and chrysalis broke free from there imprisonment but thats just a theory of mine lol) one thing I am curious about is were are all ghe other species of equestria (hippogriffs, dragons,discord and ect) and what happend to old equestria and the crystal heart of the crystal empire and Cadance and her Family . Anyways I am such a big fan and a long time subscriber and I really love youre theory videos and youre music ones they are do Fun and enjoyable and I am so Happy you are continuing to do mlp and eqg videos , they are so informative and fun :). I Hope you have an Amazing life sawtooth were all youre dreams an wishes come true for you and youre family and friends and I Hope you life is filled with Happines and Magic :) . Hey I might not be able to comment again on youre videos my mum said this is my only time (because it is her acc that I am always on lol) I don't mind but if I don't reply or I reply with an emoji thats why I can't reply   i Hope you understand. Anyways from a Dear fan I wish you the best :D


I knew she must have sacrificed herself in some way shape or form. Without a doubt this theory may be correct, it just doesn’t say what happened to the Other Alicorns, and Flurry Heart. I hope the show will come out with more answers.


honestly, I get how twilight could’ve done all that in this video, but a question that still roams my head is about what happened to discord? Since we know that celestia and Luna have lived countless moons, and so has discord since they defeated them many many years ago . And if twilight outlived her friends, doesn’t that mean discord also had to outlive fluttershy? The only pony he truly cared about?god I cant bare how much it would’ve hurt discord honestly

I think he may have either used his chaos magic to possibly bring immortality to fluttershy and they’re living in the chaos realm or discord could have given up his immortality so that him and fluttershy could go together or him pass a little after fluttershy because he knew he would be able to deal with the pain but another theory of mine is that he faded away in his sadness because in one of the comics for g5 it shows that sunny and her friends go to canterlot and they meet discord but he’s aged and he talks about fluttershy and he seems very emotional about it so maybe if he was trying to make fluttershy immortal it could have either backfired and killed fluttershy resulting in his guilt or the spell didn’t work and fluttershy just passed of old age.

@William that would have been really sweet

She’s probably in the other realm with him

Maybe with the power of chaos he made him immortal too.

@Soul_Raider yeah... I got a few depressing theories about what happened

@Caradiel That's Depressing. . . But Absolutely Valid

@Janinna Maynz my theory was that in his sadness he simply just let himself fade away

Dark theory: in his grief, he was the reason that Twilight had to give up her alicornhood.

Yeah, we are still wondering about what happened to discord?

I think he made twilight turn him into stone above fluttershy's grave


I wonder what happened with the raising of the sun and the moon after twilight's big sacrifice? It doesn't seem to be connected  to new generation. It's kind of strange to me since the summer sun celebration was the basis of the entirety of the show...


Dude with my little pony  being my childhood this actually changed it a lot, with the day twilight made the crystals she sacrificed herself for the future so that there would still be magic.


You were right about twilight gathering all the magic into the gems!!!


Theory: Twilight is the princess of friendship. All of her friends can die. Perhaps once she can no longer do anything friendship related (as in has 0 friendships and has trouble making more friends), her magic is drained. Maybe her cutiemark being in the sky and turning into the artifacts are the last things that can remain of Twilight once she reaches that point.


This does make the most sense and would be the saddest route that could get people to really fall for g5.


i really like this theory! i’d like to raise the idea that because she turned her magic into crystals (pegasus, unicorn, AND earth) she didn’t even get to see what happened. she gave up her pegasus and unicorn magic, turning her into an earth pony. but when she gave that up too, she literally didn’t exist anymore. that would solve the back of grave, burial sight, etc :)


I wonder what happened to all of the other creatures like griffins, it would be cool to see how they have changed


A lot of people are questioning about the OTHER species in my little pony. In my opinion if magic stared to disappear, they might have tried travelling to other parts of equestria or even go to the human dimension, as most of them rely on magic. Because remember the human dimension is still apart of equestria and we don’t know if magic might have disappeared their.


A curious thing- Grogar (I think I spelled that right) What if he was the cause of Twilights Faith? Based on your "no one is truly gone" video? Dont know but that window of Opportunity could have been like you said, soon after Twilight became Ruler of equestria


i have a theory that Sunny's dad actually has the mane 6's journal that recorded all their adventures that why he knows about the past, cause i was re-watching S4 EP3 and EP4 and they mentioned that they were going to write a journal said Apple Jack and you can see in EP4 that Rainbow Dash is writing a journal about her adventure with Daring Doo and the book she is writing in has Twilight's cutie mark on the front.


i don't feel like she would live long after because it would be just like having your magic stolen where they become weak and unable to do much to the point of having a hard time even standing because she would lose more magic then what she was given to begin with


I’ve been thinking about this for a little bit but after seeing the final episode of FiM it made me sad to see the other members of mane 6 aging so here me out. What if there wasn’t a great event that was causing magic to disappear what if there was just a darker story to twilights end. I feel like twilight being so connected to her friends that perhaps since the rest of the mane 6 continue to age naturally and twilight doesn’t, what if twilight became so stricken with grief after the last of the mane 6 passed on that she too now without her friends didn’t have the strength to continue to reign without her friends. What if this deep sense of depression and grief is what caused her to make the artifacts. Knowing how much importance the magic of friendship was she wanted to ensure her messages would continue to reach future ponies so she decided to make the artifacts and separate her alicorn magic into the three pony species resulting in her ‘un-alicornification’. After giving away each artifact to its respective leaders to continue her practices, twilight ends her own life so she could be with her friends once again in maybe the pony afterlife. After the citizens of twilight had watched her mental decline due to the loss of her friends, maybe the friendship of the 3 tribes soon became viewed as a hardship that would result in your own doom, as seen with their beloved princess. The tribe leaders discussed the separation of the tribes to insure that their own people would not have to face the hardships that twilight had to endure. During the time the tribes separated the reasoning for the separation was never disclosed to the public and leader became to tell there citizens white lies about each tribe that turned into the prejudices of New Generation. <br>Probably a lot darker of a story than maybe hasbro intended but as someone who’s struggled with depression, this seems like a very valued scenario in my opinion

Hey Sawtooth, remember the Rapidash Twilight deal? Well,
A good video idea could be, of what potential she could've had! Such as her being twilight's equivalent to nightmare moon/daybreaker!
I mean, I feel that there's more to this flaming version of Twily, and I'd like to see your ideas on how she could've had more potential.
(I mean it's a suggestion, so it's optional)
Your fellow brony,
-The Imperishable Alex Wilhite


I found strange things at 2.20 minutes of My Little Pony: a new generation. The bell of Grogar, the portrait of twilight, the photograph of Starswirl... it seems a bit strange to me and I believe you can figure it out.


I'll do you one sadder... The moment she sacrificed each of her powers, she too gave up her entire magic being as a whole. Thus rendering her... Well... Gone.

That's why there's no grave<br>she just poofed into nothing

That's why there's no grave
she just poofed into nothing

In fact, Twilight may not be dead. Cadence, Luna, and Celestia did not die after giving up their magic.

@Looking for memes 1 nothing is impossible two I'm sure Celestia thought the same about her sister you know that she grew up with her entire life that tried to kill her and from spikes perspective Twilight is his sister so it's extremely possible that it could happen because if you notice with MLP it seems like every big thing that happens tune Authority like figure end with a betrayal or misunderstanding that was thought to be a betrayal for example the pillars stygian they disappeared because they thought he betrayed them then again with Princess Celestia and Luna Luna betrayed Celestia and she was gone for a long time it would be time repeating itself again with Spike betraying Twilight because even the last episode it was clearly shown that's like does not get respect when "luster Dawn says you rule by yourself" to Twilight and Spike says "royal advisor right here" clearly showing that he was bothered by it and who says it doesn't get worse over time

@Caradiel Its impossible that spike would turn out evil though

She PROBABLY didn’t survive after sealing her magic or passed away as a mortal pony YES

Hey let me make it even more sad the reason that she had to infuse the crystals with her magic was because she was battling against Spike that is my theory and I actually have valid reasons for that conclusion

Well she took away ALL her magic including her earth pony magic. As seen in Twilight's Kingdom Pt. 1 and 2, Tirek steals magic from the earth ponies leaving them dull and practically unable to move. I think she still lived, but she lived the rest of her life feeling empty and purposeless. Which is kind of sadder if you think of it :(

So to make the crystals, it also required the last bit of her life force too?

For somereason it just made me cry like i have been watching twi from like when i was so little guess i became a little too attached but i hope she can be brought back or mayb sunny will see the past memories like twilight did of the sisters fight


I love how you make videos it’s so great mind blown


Can't wait to see what you think of the new special!

The Special Interest Show! with Jupiter August


I like this theory, and all, but at the same time, Twilight, was originally a unicorn, so while she would contain magic from all three tribes, she wouldn't be able to separate it all, just the unicorn, and Pegasus. The only way I can see this happening, is if Twilight was originally an earth pony.


It is really very surprising, and also worrying! But, I did not understand correctly, why the ponies can no longer use their magic? In any case, your explanation is brilliant!


I first imagined that Twilight couldn't handle having to outlive her friends due to her alicornhood and instead took each of their spirits and embedded them in the new Artifacts, with Pinkie and Applejack going into the Earth Pony artifact, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy going into the Pegasus Artifact, and Rarity and Twilight going into the Unicorn one. However, to balance it all, Twilight gave up the magic from the other two tribes to the other two artifacts so she could use her own Unicorn magic for the Unicorn artifact.

But honestly? This makes more sense and is probably more likely. Hey, this is what theories are about, having an opinion that changes over time as more evidence and thoughts come to the table. Nice to see you're still living on despite the end of G4.

I dont think twilight would've done that, sounds worse than death tbh

i mean it makes sence but- i just dont like the thought of it...

@Shadow is insane the purple pony behind the slaughter

I'm sorry.

Dear God I'm sorry but<br>When you said "took their spirits" I just imagined her killing them and forcefully removing their souls

Dear God I'm sorry but
When you said "took their spirits" I just imagined her killing them and forcefully removing their souls

This makes so much sense dude!!!! And its kinda less sad since all of them sacrificed themselves so they don't have to be split from each other, who cares of the rest of the equestria lol, cause it survived anyways whithout them


I just realised Twilight created 3 stones one with the Earth pony magic, one with the Pegasus magic and finally Unicorn magic wouldn't that take away her powers or end her well you know cause she gave up her magic not just the immortality to create the crystals


Hey Sawtooth I don't know if you've covered this lately or not in fact it's been a while since I've watched this one but what do you think the odds of argyle being related to Twilight Sparkle herself I mean yes he's an earth pony but if you look at his mane and tail you'll find that aside from a slightly different shade of blue it looks almost exactly the same tail and mane color as Twilight besides Pony genetics are kind of confusing in my opinion


I feel like Hasbro should make a gen 4-gen 5 crossover based on this theory. That would be so cool, with the gen 5 characters heading back in time to know why Twilight isn’t around today, with the crossover ending with a bootstrap paradox that results in gen 5 happening. Maybe the villain tries to siphon off all of Equestria’s magic in a last-ditch effort to destroy it all or something.


I very much I agree with this so since I also made some theries! Adding on  to what I said I believe that due to the fact that alicorns are immortal what if the whole reason she did what she did was because her friends grew old and died off which left her heart broken. So with no one but herself left she didn't know what to do and she didn't want to be alone forever so she put the trust in her subjects to continue her legacy by giving up the throne and dieing peacefully either by old age or by the separation of the alicorns magic inside her. Pretty much in the end she has died of a broken heart die to the princess of friendship no longer had friends 💔


Hmm... I'M left wondering: IF this theory is true... Where's Twilight's body? Her grave? Burial site? Tomb? Is there even a Monument or Statue of her? And, being the intellectual she was... Wouldn't she have kept a journal? One LAST journal, maintained with regular entries (written by either herself or Spike) right up to the very end?  So far...the stained glass mural is all there is.<br>Hasbro anonymity, again.

Hmm... I'M left wondering: IF this theory is true... Where's Twilight's body? Her grave? Burial site? Tomb? Is there even a Monument or Statue of her? And, being the intellectual she was... Wouldn't she have kept a journal? One LAST journal, maintained with regular entries (written by either herself or Spike) right up to the very end?  So far...the stained glass mural is all there is.
Hasbro anonymity, again.

Well that's a great question that you got there @Jaycee Irby because I just have a theory that maybe either Starlight glimmer or Luster Dawn is the one who's going to rule the Equestria in the current status

Calm down @Twilight Sparkle because I believe that you're still going to be alive for this current generation of MLP plus i actually believe that even though you'll be sacrifice yourself just to make those three artifacts that is featured in the current generation , I still remember all of your hard work that you did in your generation , journeys that you and your friends came face throughout your generation in MLP before , and let's all never forget all of the your friendship teachings that you and your friends shows all of us throughout your generation until now

@SonicDashie759 Exactly what I was thinking...

Twilight cant be gone us she? Im confused who rules now

it's just in a random very tall tree<br>or maybe in a long abandoned dragon's keep

it's just in a random very tall tree
or maybe in a long abandoned dragon's keep

@Sawtooth Waves I'm a ghost? AAAA! WHERE AM I? AND IT FEELS LIKE IM NOT HERE.
Equestria ghost war has begun AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Wait. if this was true where am I now? You really can't see me.

@Sawtooth Waves I'm a ghost? AAAA! WHERE AM I? AND IT FEELS LIKE IM NOT HERE.

@Fizel Shiba Holy shit good catch i didnt see that

Yep, they made sure that everything G4 built up is worth absolutely nothing when the next generation arrives

@Fizel Shiba yaa i found it it's very small!

Maybe her old castel and school of friendship became monuments

Probably Hidden somewhere it can’t be found yet?

I just noticed in the bottom right corner of the glass with Twilight's Cutie Mark... <br>There's a gravestone with wings.

I just noticed in the bottom right corner of the glass with Twilight's Cutie Mark...
There's a gravestone with wings.

Maybe Argyle's journal IS her journal bc Twilight's cutie mark is on the cover :o. Maybe Im wrong

Maybe in order to create the crystals, it required something more than just Twilight's magic. She had to sacrifice herself to make the crystals as powerful as they are.

@julia bonavita <br>It's a guess, that's why it's called a theory

@julia bonavita
It's a guess, that's why it's called a theory

perhaps all of that is yet to be discovered!!


Is it just me or Sunny's father kinda looks related to twilight.
Twilight lost her magic and became an earth pony and her father is also an earth pony.
There is a chance on them being related. Maybe the story goes way further.
Idk :>


twilight might have used her magic to create the artifacts, not only to store magic but for one last attempt at unity. it worked for a while, but in the end, it was only a bandaid and ultimately there could have been a division. and going off how the ponys act towards each other, a possible war between races. and after the war, the magic faded complately. and the ponys divided.


That's actually fitting for Twilight--but are you sure she didn't just die then and there?? Becoming the magical energy?? Because shes innately a unicorn and if she gave all of herself, then that would mean her earth pony magic too--magic she needs to function. I think she dissolved into pure energy and just died, but if she didnt, then I'm happy for her--her friends meant everything, and to live thousands of years beyond them would be.. terrible.


For this video: It was just a selfish act. Remembrance anyone?

For the last video (now 4kids): I had a similar theory. We could say that G5 is a bit of an alternate timeline from the finale, where the lessons of friendship failed, the tribes and species did not come together, and did not save the Mane6. They died at the hands of the three villains. But even without that, somewhere along the line the tribes started their mistrust and segregation, the Windigos came, but each tribe started having fun in their own groups, remembering to sing, and love. With this, the Windigos got bored and went elsewhere. The mistrust continued, but it wasn't that active enough to bring the attention of the Windigos. As was said in Luna's Hearth's Warming Future, there was no fun, ponies were grumpy, and so the world was frozen. But even when segregated, if there are still holidays and ponies having fun.....

There is also that one comic: Twilight and her friends defeated the Windigos once and for all, and thus we are free to hate each other limitlessly. XD

Fun fact: Twilight was confirmed not to outlive her friends so this could fit.

@Sparkletta! ah sorry i forgot to put a sarcastic tone indicator but yeah it was sarcasm

@trick  but.....weren’t Celestia and Luna absolutely shocked when Flurry Heart was born an alicorn? They literally state that being born an alicorn was something that had never happened before.....so no, I don’t think Celestia and Luna were born alicorns

@trick unless a creator states it's not canon or no longer canon, it's canon. Those are just general rules. I don't make them, I just accept them.

@Jokerlyzer Media ah yes of course my b, celestia and luna were born alicorns and celestia released nightmare moon of course, because one tweet can definitely speak on behalf of a team of many writers who have each contributed to the show with their own different views and ideas.

But u know...I feel sad for Twilight in that case..

@trick actually they can. Cause you know, they own it.

@Jokerlyzer Media i’m not saying it didn’t happen, because i believe the theory and all, i’m just saying that just because the creators said it doesn’t mean it’s 100% true, because they said celestia and luna were born alicorns and yet flurry heart happened. plus, like sawtooth said before in the video where lauren faust had said celestia freed nightmare moon, creators can’t just tweet things into canon.

@Jokerlyzer Media Geez, why are you so insistant? Just let people have their opinions.

Edit: Weird typo

@INXIN FATE age doesn't matter. Canon IS canon. You don't have to accept it, or like it, but you can't change it. And they all probably died at the same time after Twilight sacrificed her magic. Either that or she died before them after sacrificing her magic.

that was ages ago, i still hold the idea that her friends die.

@trick yeah and the last episode they all had wrinkles expect for twilight

@trick this is a FACT. from the CREATORS. It's CANON.

wasn’t that confirmed back when twilight just became an alicorn, like around the same time it was ‘confirmed’ celestia and luna were born alicorns

@Yeni Sketches I’m pretty sure it was confirmed on Twitter


i mean if twilight ended up having the lifespan of a normal pony then maybe at least she wouldn't have to experience losing her friends 🥺


This is my theory:

Long after the end of ss9 mlp FIM (prob even after the death of the main 5), something or someone caused all the creatures to be against each other, even the 3 tribes. Eventually all the creatures left equestria. The 3 tribes began some kind of war (so everything the foals learnt in history class are probably what happened but wasn’t the full story). The 3 tribes were using their magic against each other (earth ponies didn’t have magic so they were inventing things for defense?). The war was unstoppable and very dangerous so Twilight decided to take away their magic. She probably meant «If you ponies don’t stop fighting, then you also won’t have magic». In order to make magic disappear Twilight prob made some kind of self sacrifice. The tribes started to isolate themselves from each other, built their own ‘city’ and things led to another.

That’s also how the crystal empire fell apart. I think at the end of the new movie, the new villain is corrupted flurry heart (kinda like nightmare moon) since the colors are a bit similar and she’s also an alicorn. But the main reason why I think its flurry heart is bc she said smth like « finally they figured out how magic works, time to take back what was mine ». Since alicorns have a longer life span, flurry heart probably knew how magic disappeared and all that. When she said « time to take back what was mine », she meant the crystal empire. Cadence and the other princesses maybe got banned (temporarily just like how nightmare moon was in the moon for 1000 years) or made some kind of self sacrifice like how I think twilight did.

I honestly don’t think the other creatures are gone since we did see a baby dragon in the movie. The egg probably got to equestria by the waves since it was discovered in a beach.


Hey, I think it's something different, hear me out, I think twilight making the crystals made her no longer exist as her base form was a unicorn, and in the 3D Netflix series when we see "twilight" it's not her, it's the spirit of harmony back from harmony returning to equestria!


I have my theory. You know how twighlight knows everything about about friend ship? Well she made that sign because she wants every pony to live happily with their friends so she made that sign to make them work hard together with their friends. Yknow how hardwork makes the dream work!!


I actually thought about this. Twilight giving herself up, creating the crystal, Celestia and Luna giving themselves to the sun and moon permanent rising, Flurry and Cadence giving themselves up for the crystal heart<br>Its actually a pretty good theory that the princesses would give themselves up for the sake of the world or they're alicorn magic was stolen once again so twilight use's her last on the crystal. I mean in the movie, and mlp season finales made it clear there are artifacts out there that can steal magic in a snap

and without the love and light, the crystal heart grew too weak to defend the empire and was forced to succumb to the frozen north.


There’s so much yet so little we don’t know, I’m wondering if.. we’ll one single alicorns magic couldn’t have been enough for ALL the tribes to have magic.. what if Flurryheart and Cadence made the same sacrifice..? That’s so much magic and it would be enough to power ALL the pony tribes for generations, it would also explain where the crystal empire went and how well it probably still exists but is in ruins.. the crystal ponies weren’t pegasi or unicorns they were their own unique ponies, so it’d make sense maybe why we didn’t see any crystal ponies either or maybe.. they used the magic from the crystal heart to creat the crystals.. that would make much sense as to why we never see the crystal empire… it’s completely gone because the crystal heart is also gone


I came to a conclusion, Twilight did all that hard work in the previous series FOR NOTHING! They basically destroyed everything from the original series, just so new characters could learn what friendship is. Boooooom! Mystery solved.


What happened to her body though? Did she keep her horn and wings without the ability to use them? Did she just lose her wings, returning to her unicorn form but unable to use her horn? Earth ponies have neither horns nor wings, but I assume whatever magic they have was taken from her too. That being said, was she left with the appearance of an earth pony without the magic of any tribe?


Sawtooth waves, I actually have a different more likely theory as to why twilight sparkle has disappeared- it involves a bit of your theory but this one makes more sense, since it also involves the other princesses Cadence and Flurryheart. I would love to explain to you all sometime on discord or in comments somewhere, if you’d like to hear it- at least

It’s about Flurryheart being ‘the bad guy’ but for a good reason, and not bc she was corrupted but bc of a loss of someone very close to her- her father Shining Armor


I believe Sunny's dad is still out there. possibly exploring the world at large. I also think Twilight and Flurry Heart worked together to create the Alicorn Jewels in a desperate phase in time. Maybe to put Windegos to rest or perhaps to put down a big baddy like on Discord's level of magical prowess.

@BigDumb he's dead, but we didn't have a reason why we died except for old age, which hasn't been confirmed, so yes this could be the explanation if he is somehow not dead

I think he’s dead because he wouldn’t leave his glasses behind to adventure.

A hypocrite friend of mine thought Twilight turned evil lmao

I prefer to believe he's dead
That sounded
Very wrong
But I mean
Death exists

@Alacro Well, she sits by the sea and says she misses him. I dunno if he is or not, bit it'd be cool if he's just off on his own adventure.

Oh i just thought that pony was dead lmfao


I feel like gen 5 had nothing to do with gen 4. But at the last moment because 4 gen was very popular they added some small details but didn’t emphasis the details.


The un-alicorning of twilight is actually so interesting because in the concept design for g5 twilight she was going to be an earth-pony!


This made me sad when I heard Twilight turned immortal and yes I think you are right


I don’t think she gave up just her alicornhood, she gave herself. She is the embodiment of magic and was before becoming an alicorn and to give each type of pony a relic Twilight separated herself into the three artifacts. Using her wings for pegasi, her horn for unicorns, and her body for Earth ponies. Twilight didn’t outlive her friends because she simply no longer exists.


“Twilight sacrificing her alicorn hood for her people”

“Me: Aren't they ponies-”

@Dingle yes bcuz she has bad gaming chair

She sacrificed it to become a pro gamer and became a pwny.

@Luna Void no her ponies in the pony world

shhhh she was in the human world a few times

@Mystic Rosey she turned them into flowers? 😟


0:11 what if- more ponies were frozen in time- and were still stone durring that movie? Maybe even- a elder from the movie was frozen as a child and unfroze, learned the new way, and grew up with a new family


This fits into another theory floating around the internet. That Twilight not only created the artifacts to store the magic, but also to stop the war. The Princess of Harmony gave up their power, their title, in order to bring some form of peace and prevent a war. But the cost was more than just their powers. Pegasi were rendered flightless, and Unicorns were thrown into the Dark Ages. The only ponies to be unaffected were the Earth Ponies and they were close to extinction, having been pushed to Baltimare and it’s immediate suburbs as their only settlement.


Maybe something happened to the kingdom and she put all her power in the three crystals, and she is apart of each tribe so she separated her alicorn power into the crystals her power would be safe, she sacrificed her power for her kingdom-they would still have magic. At the end of the movie one of each kingdom put the three pieces together and they all got their power back.


I think Tirek finally succeeded in draining the world of magic. As a last stitch effort, Twilight and what could be the new mane 6 dispersed the magic they might've had into those crystals.

Twilight alone wouldn't have been able to make those crystals.. her legacy and the very reason she became an Alicorn was through the combined efforts of her friends. As such, it makes sense that it would be a combined effort to make these artifacts as a final clutch to preserve what magic that was left, so that Tirek couldn't find it. So the magic split three ways and scattered to three different parts of the world.

There, these pieces were safeguarded, perhaps buried for a time, until the time arises that magic would be needed once again.

Edit: Also.. special thought. What if the new MLP movie is an actual What If, movie? A distopian future associated with Twilight's failure to deal with Tirak, Cozyglow, and Crysallis? Like this was the end result of a last attempt of keeping Tirek from stealing magic? Idk.


Well, it's important to note that, Sunny said, "It's not the crystals that need to be brought together! It's us!" However, that said, it's also plausible that Twilight's alicorn magic was contained inside the crystals (just as you said) and that's precisely what transformed Sunny at the end of the movie. That theory makes the most sense to me. The crystals were drawn to Sunny as she had just inspired new magic, which is worthy of becoming an alicorn...


I would of put under the Windingos but it child locked xwx.

My Theory:
As time went on, something that keeps the Windingoes started to fail with it getting easier for a full breakout. So Twilight and the Mane 6 locked themselves up with the Heart to keep giving it strength and that why the ponies are able to be so hateful and mean spirited to each other.

The hateful enegry would be countered by the Mane 6 Friendship but the Mane 6 would need to stay near it, They created the relics in case and told their best students to keep the flame of Friendship. I think after the Mane 6 got sealed away things were going fine but as Time marched on, they moved to settle their own lands and thought the Relics were the only thing to care for. So when got more and more reclusive there wasnt enough ponies to fully unite them and they all just left.

I like how there enough room to write what they want but man, we want to k n o w now.


Hmm I think your theory is so good, but I think that Twilight cutie mark can also mean a connection of crystals with the elements. Look at Twilight's cutie mark - one big star (magic element) and 5 small white stars (loyalty, honesty, generosity, laugh and kindness). And look at the crystals - they mean 3 tribes of ponies. I think that could mean that everypony can be loyal, kind, honest, generous... You know. And if magic disappeared, everypony have to find these elements inside - then magic will be back for all tribes. That's my opinion 😅❤


"Where is twighlight sparkle?"
Me"DIDNT YOU HEAR THE START OF THE MOVIE? IT SAID A LONG TIME AGO SHES DEAD

"Where is twighlight sparkle?"
Me"DIDNT YOU HEAR THE START OF THE MOVIE? IT SAID A *LONG TIME AGO* SHES DEAD


Sawtooth Waves, I think I have a theory of why Sunny became an alicorn. What if like Starswirl Twilight put an extra special spell onto all of the gems. It would make sense. Sunny never created new magic and she was never sent to that alicorn making place. She was transformed right where she was. If Twilight knew something like this would happen then she'd probably know to put a spell that turns whoever fixed the relationships between the three tribes into an alicorn.
And I also have a theory of why cutiemarks are only on one side. Maybe it's because of the lack of magic. Cutiemarks are just as magical as the pony's magic. The magic can probably only put one cutiemark on each pony.
Also, where is Spike? Dragons live for hundreds of years. Will he return in the show like he always does or will he just not show up? Was he forgotten and overlooked because of Twilight?


My theory:<br>After Fluttershy died Discord was so depressed he altered reality

My theory:
After Fluttershy died Discord was so depressed he altered reality

If he used the Bewitching Bell, he could be.

@WolfJarl  but Sombra was an umbrum, not a pony, so maybe they don’t die the same way ponies do?

(Also, I love Discord, but I agree, he was an absolute moron in season 9, and I had to repress the urge to kick him)

@Sukha Maya Nalbo He literally brought back King Sombra from the dead during his moronic gambit in season 9.

@Nainika Sebastian i don't think he can raise the dead, plus he'd know she wouldn't want that.

@Nainika Sebastian I think it takes a certain. Power to overcome death. He has chaos magic. Chaos magic is unpredictable. It could have the ability- but to bring one back from the dead properly is another thing.

Exactly!!! I thought the same thing!!! I thought Fluttershy died and Discord became so depressed he just altered and ended himself...

@Nainika Sebastian I don't think discord was that powerful...

Wouldn't Discord be able to just bring Fluttershy back to life if he wanted to?

Imagine watching the ponies who became your only friends and brought change, all fade away and those who came after gradually start undoing their hard work. you'd want to take away what made them feel important but knowing that you believe in friendship you made sure they could get it back but only by coming together once again

He destroyed magic because it would kill him. He essentially committed suicide


After gen4 ended I wasn't interested in watching gen5 but this video makes me curious about it.Also I feel so bad for Twilight🥺


I havnt heard anyone talk about how Alicorns (other than cadence and flurry heart) represent the sun being celestia and sunny starscout, moon being Luna and Twilight literally the between of day and night..
Tho i believe ponies centered around sun moon stars and alike are powerfull.. This isn't only limited to Alicorns. You have starswirl the bearded, starlight glimmer, sunset shimmer and suburst.. Yeah they're all unicorns but then you have sunny starscout
Just pointing it out


Also, when the crystal was put together by Sunny, she acquired Twilight’s alicorn form.


I was getting chills while watching this- Fun joke:- after watching 2 mins of this video I already guessed what happened to twilight lol


If somehow Tara strong comes back in G5 i just hope she voices the Projection of Twilight in the Tree of harmony more intelligent than the last time we saw that projection.

The projection could also be from the crystals combining with the tree of harmony (I think it is likely that twilight "vanished" in the process of creating the crystals likely surviving the process as the crystals themselves )


I think the reason why Twilight made those crystals for them to has some kind of learning point, to show them that objects aren't the main point ( but I'm just saying from what I was thinking)


In my head cannon, a fallen student (or possible child) of Twilight  was the one who caused the catastrophe that lead to Equaestria's fall.


Around her cutie mark is 5 other stars, maybe it represents the main 6, it could've of been all of the main 6's magic in the artefact. They wouldn't let her do it by herself they always stayed together so maybe they sacrificed there magic together using the magic when they fought tirek when he stole all the magic in equestria, it's the only magic strong enough to give everyone magic. Twilight by herself wouldn't have enough magic. Maybe another villain succeed in draining the magic so they used the last resort of the elements to seal it in the artefacts sacrificing themselves for the future generation  (sorry if this doesn't make sense)


man, the whole story makes me emotional with the dramatic music and Twilight's sacrifice😥😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭


Ngl this hits hard. As someone who grew up with her character ever since first grade, a character whom I was obsessed with later on for a very long time, which served as a source of inspiration and what got me into the fandom in the first place, it's painful. This show helped me so much, and Fluttershy especially, helped me relate to someone who had social anxiety. But it really hurts right now. Because before the show ended, many things in my life changed as well. My aunt, whom I used to spend most of my time with and watch MLP together, passed away...She was like a second parent to me. Soon after, we sold our apartment and had to move in a new town. Many things happened back then. And I stopped watching the show soon before it ended. I know how it did tho. And I hated the ideea that Twilight was forced to see each and every single one of her friends die, and also showing the mane 5 grow old. Especially since I struggled with the ideea of change considering how abrupt and negatively it came in my life.  I tried to dittach myself from it and from the memories it brought. But what the show tought me remained. I even tried to create my ideal group of friends, because the show truly inspired me to believe in that ideea, and empathise with people a lot, give them a hand.  We were like a family for a long time, and most of them were really devoted to me and one another, as we had eachother's backs in the toughest of times.I am gonna spare the details of what happened next, but let's just say it ended with a lot of betrayal, and out of 6 people I remained friends with only 3 and , close friends with one. And coming back now, seeing the tragic yet, relatively bittersweet ending she had, I am not sure how to feel. Especially since I never wanted G5 to be like this. I wanted that "mature audience" reinterpretation of the characters we already knew, like in the leaks. If not, a completely separated universe. I wanted my memories of G4 to stay the way they were. I understand why many people would enjoy G5, and I have nothing against them. And even if it ruined G4 for me in a way, I don't hate it, and appreciate one thing: Twilight is back with her friends in the end.

I'm so sorry for your loss. The pain you feel is valid and will stay for many years, but it is not the only thing that awaits the rest of your life and these years and issues will have their place<br>As for pony talk... Yeah, considering all of the OTHER generations of MLP have either a) made a whole new cast and world, b) done the same cast in a different style, or c) followed different casts in the same world with the others still around, this is a very strange grimdark move from hasbro when there's likely a lot of young kids still watching that hopped on in the later seasons. It's probably a money thing, trying desperately to cling on to g4 to "make sure" they drain in some of the popularity of brony-dom as well as, imo, somewhat lazy writing and the popularity of things like MCU where EVERYTHING has to be a spin off--saves the writers time and effort they ought to be spending making something unique so the company doesn't have to pay them as much

I'm too lazy to read this :I but anyways ill read it anyways :I

@IdaInnit but a book that is worth reading and sympathizing with.


There is one thing that confuses me. What happend to the other races; like the dragons, changelings, diamond dogs, and others. In the movie it shows that the earth ponies are only preparing to defend themselves from unicorns and pegasi even having a major company find ways to defeat them. Also without their magic many races would take advantage of that, diamond dogs could kidnap anypony to work their mines, dragons would try and take over Zephyr Heights since they appear wealthy with lots of gold. Now we know Twilight made peace with many different races and that keep the peace for a while, but after so many years there are going to be some bad apples, most likely appearing from the dragons first, after all almost no one wants to mess with them and even if one dragon has greed indused biggness (I think that is what Smolder said) that would cause a major incedent. I maybe missed it, but it seems that the other races where just forgotten, maybe whatever happend in the past also affected the other races much worse then the ponies.


Am I the only one that like that version of the creation of the crystals more than the one in MLP: Make your mark? Like, I cant watch that one enough, it's my favorite


After the mane 5 passed, Twilight had to make magical artifacts that would replace them as harmony beaeres, after all equestria needs protection beyond 1 life time


She probably remembers how helpful the elements of harmony were in the path to discovering the importance of the MOF


It could be that she didn’t just sacrifice her magic. I think it’s possible she sacrificed her life essence to make the crystals and eventually save magic for everyone. This would that her physical body would’ve disappeared when the crystals were created. Hence why, her selfless act became legend.

this honestly makes sense, cause with out magic in her body she probably would of died anyway. it was what was increasing her lifespan, so if you take it away, she would of died. Especially if there wasn't any residual magic left in her.


When he was talking about how she made the crystals and explain that she transformed back into who she was before I thought she died after she made  the crystals


I think that twilight wanted others to learn that just because its supposed to be a magical stone the thing that matters  is friendship if you think about it ponies have probably done this for generations back from the begining of the power of friendship, so its a lesson to others being passed down


What if she could have solved this crisis in a different way, but chose this, because she lived for so long that she felt tired, so it was also a way for her to go out in good light.


i always thought that Twillight's cuite mark represents the friendship

There is the main pink sparkle (that symbolizes twillight)
And the other sparkles that symbolizes her friends
