Alternatively, Twilight perished right after she lost her alicorn magic instead of getting to live a little longer. Let's say she was a thousand or so years old. Her alicorn magic kept her alive and well despite her age. A mortal pony does not have the capacity to live that long. So when Twilight turned back into a regular pony, her thousand years of age would be able to overwhelm her and kill her right then and there.

Edit: Thank you so much for nearly 400 likes! I've never had comments that received anything near this many likes. I can't thank all of you enough.

yep, since she split her magic into 3, unicorn, pegasus, and most importantly earth pony, she wouldn't have had any strength left to live out a mortal life. she probably, quite literally split herself in 3 and lives on in that magic that she sacrificed.

This explains the gravestone in the mural near Twilight’s cutie mark, it must’ve all happened at once or at least very fast

@ツGabiz Did you read the G5 comics? It implies at least one of the Mane Six are dead

That's really sad, but probably what really happened <br>At least she got to join her friends

That's really sad, but probably what really happened
At least she got to join her friends

@EldritchCupcakes Yes, that's actually exactly what I had in mind when I first wrote this comment. But I think there would be lots of magical light and sparkles and explosions of glittery dust unlike the Tangled scene which is barely lit.

@atticisme yeah but they were severely weakened and they didn’t give up their Alicorn forms only their magic and it still had a pony host. twilight didn’t give up only her magic she gave up her physical self too, without her alicorn form and no pony host for her magic her physical form probably disappeared forever

@atticisme Maybe because the magic was still living in a pony and not an object unable to give it back to them they stayed at that stage, because they had the potential to gain it back instead of it living in a crystal for every pony in Equestria to share

@atticisme I think it happened like this, example, you have the immortality and you can live like thousands of years, but I would also like to think is that they litteraly stopped aging and stuck of the current age they were and extended like that for many years until the immortality will strip it off and continued aging

but what about when celestia and luna transferred their alicorn magic to twilight back when tirek was searching for them? they didn't die right then and there.

I know it's the logical explanation but that's so sad😭😭


Fair points but, there are still alot of loop holes glossed over. What caused the crisis, what made her decide to do this, where is cadance, what happened to luna and celestia since their retired, not dead, and where is flurry? Flurry specifically as twilight even stated in the beginning of the end and I know this would of never changed. Flurry was always to be their final hope in the event of a crisis.


Wow! That's some pretty sharp figuring! Regardless of whether or not Hasbro publishes anything about the reasons for these events, I'm wiling to bet you're pretty darn close! ;)


Princess twilight, along the lines, could have had a child. And her child could have passed twilights vision of unity onto their child, and their child could have passed it on to their child, and so on. And so, Sunny and her dad could very well have been a part of that family line😳. Just a thought😅


Did we bully the creators of MLP to actually take Twi's wings away?


My theory: Twilight DID let friendship fall.

After twilight's ruled for a while, something bad happened, what is the worst thing to friendship? Mind wipe, mind control, or something of that scale. Twilight tried to use magic to save friendship, but it backfired. This is where the story of mind melting and reading mind came. Starlight Glimmer looked into different futures, millions or billions perhaps. (How could she do this? She literally had a magic which helped her organize an entire library in mere seconds, travelled and modified timeline before, and more, and that was far back then, who knows what she could've done?). In the end, she found out that friendship cannot be forced on people, only grown and incubated. She knows that the immense magic she has is nothing compared to friendship, but it can't be forced on with magic either. She planted the seeds of friendship to those who would pass it down to Sunny, Izzy, etc...

In the end, even though twilight is supposed to be against storing magic in artifacts, she did it anyway because "That was the only way".
Then, she lets friendship get forgotten as the northern equestria got devoured in some crisis.

Thanks to this thing, once people of the three races met again, the ridiculous things they assumed of others are debunked, and they realized that the fear of those ridiculous stories are making them ridiculous themselves, they started becoming friends again.

It was all planned.

It's my head cannon that one by one all her friends died off including Luster Dawn and Shining Armour and the young six so Spike, Cadence and Flurry Heart were all she had left of her old life and over time she began to forget the lessons she learned and slowly became more bitter and cynical however she was still a good and kind leader but she no longer had the magic of friendship behind her and with the original elements of harmony long dead and no way to source new elements of harmony (I also think any pony can become an element of harmony if they have the right nature but Twilight wouldn't have dreamed of replacing her original friends even if it was for the good of Equestria)  Equestria was left with little way of defending itself which lead to the stone seal that held Terik, Crystallis and Cozy Glow broke releasing them from their prison and the only way Twilight could defend Equestria was to take all the magic before they could and transform herself into the crystals that also contained all the magic in Equestria.<br>It was supposed to be a temporary measure and the crystals would have returned the magic once harmony had returned but without Twilight or the other Princesses to stand in her way Cozy Glow was able to take the throne and become a dictator of sorts and while in charge she caused the division and war between the 3 tribes meaning harmony never truly returned so the magic couldn't be returned either.

That made sense tho, maybe after she had to let friendshit get forgotten she made the cristals so future generations can use them as elements of harmony to bring friendship back

I feel it did fall because how’s the Princess of friendship supposed to be the <b>princess of friendship</b> yet watch her friends die? (Havnt watched the video just yet just wanted to say that)

I feel it did fall because how’s the Princess of friendship supposed to be the *princess of friendship* yet watch her friends die? (Havnt watched the video just yet just wanted to say that)


Let's look at from a different perspective. Maybe she didn't make the artifacts and instead was the one who separated them to defeat a  magical threat that she couldn't beat any other way. What Enemy could not be defeated by the power of Friendship....... Probably Humans.....Humans who Learned Magic😎


I feel like twilight would stay an alicorn making the crystals. We’ve seen how an alicorn looks without magic and they’re just a little grayish and limp. Idk if she’d survive that lifestyle 😩


i do think it’s a possibility that due to the way alicornhood slows aging she may have actually died after sacrificing it since she did still age, albeit slow


She may have still been an alicorn but did the same thing that Celestia and Luna did when they went on a vacation just in solid objects and assisting FlurryHeart with her duties


It does make sense that this is what happened. Remember, Friendship Is Magic. That's why her Cutie Mark and the Element of Friendship are the same. That's why only Twilight would have the power, both of friendship and enough raw magical power, to create such powerful artifacts. So the Magic of the Tribal Crystals needed Friendship from all three tribes to reunite.

@Executor Akamia Nope it was shaped like that when the sisters got it out of the Tree, and it came from the mark on the Tree that was also shaped like that.

@Fizel Shiba Strictly, we don’t know if they had bearers before the sisters. It’s quite possible, even probable, that they didn’t, but there’s room for prior bearers, even if it’s not very much. I’m pretty sure the Element of Magic did not manifest in the shape of Twilight’s cutie mark until after it bonded to Twilight, however.

@Executor Akamia Well did the Elements have bearers before the sisters? Because it seemed like her and Luna using them on Discord was the first time they were used. They were in the sisters castle in the forest before Twilight and friends got them. We know they came from the tree but Discord had weakened it at the time, and before that the Pillars planted the tree. But that Celestia and Luna knew Starswirl and the Pillars. I don't think the physical elements that we saw were around very long or even used that much. They weren't used on Sombra. I thought I remembered the sisters being shown taking the Elements from the Tree in one episode but currently can't figure out which episode it was... (Edit it's: Princess Twilight Sparkle Part 2).

It’s worth noting that precisely none of the Elements of Harmony looked like the cutie marks of their last bearers when they were used by Princess Celestia.

I agree that Sawtooth’s theory makes sense, but specifically not for that reason. lol


I think the mane six did the same thing that the pillars by creating some powerful crystals so Equestria could be safe after they’re long gone


Havent watched in a while and i love the charater development lmao


There's still questions like what was the crisis and without magic does that mean the three villains are free?


Twilight knew what needed to be done, but she couldn’t do it alone. So she asked for the help of all the Alicorns in Equestria to help her. Using Twilight as a conduit, they all cast a spell on her, giving up their Alicorn magic in the process. Then, Twlight ascended into the sky, and in one great burst of light, cast the final alicorn spell. Her cutie mark spread across the night sky, and everyone far and wide looked up and saw it. From that light, three beams of light shot downward, each landing on a chosen crystal. One for those who flew swiftly among the clouds, controlling the weather, one for those who worked the earth and grew the food, and one for those who glimmered with magic from their hearts and horns. Three crystals embodying all three of ponykind. A final beam emerged and landed on the ground where a ball of light grew, at first too bright to see. But soon it faded and all present could see. Princess Twilight was no more. In fact, none who once called themselves Equestrian royalty were truly princesses anymore. Instead, in the fading light, there stood six ponies, none with wings nor horns, nor even with the magic to work the earth. Twilight’s  final spell worked. Each alicorn had given up her magic to be separated into its three core parts and imbued into the three now glowing  crystal talismans and now had the appearance of an earth pony. Twilight gave the Talisman of Unicorn Magic to Rarity, the Talisman of Pegasi Flight to Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy and the Tasliman of Earthly  Magic to Apple Jack and Pinkie Pie. Each type of pony would henceforth draw their respective magic from the the corresponding talisman. Seeing her role fulfilled, Celesta told Twilight that she couldn’t be more proud. Her friends all hugged her, and exhausted, Twilight could only smile as she basked in their love.


Twilight most likely saw "artwork" of her when the internet was invented, and decided to never talk to anyone ever again


i was terrified for a moment that you would say her life ended by it but I forgot you were child friendly. I'll be staying here to watch more videos.


My initial reaction to the new movie was:
“Where are the windagos?”
“Where’s Discord?”
“Who’s raising the sun and moon?”
“What about the other kingdoms?”
And upon seeing briarwood:
“IS THAT THE EVERFREE FOREST?!?”

To answer all your questions the best I can :

Where are the wendigos ? : once all the pony Clans moved away from each other they weren't fighting anymore so the wendigos went away

Where is Discord ? : this one is a little dark of a theory so in his grief when Fluttershy passed he just let himself fade away , but if that's what happened there's a chance she could return if there's enough chaos

Who's raising the Sun and Moon ? : well I assume Twilight would make some type of machine that could do that but that one is kind of out there

What about the other kingdoms ? : this seems to be placed really long and far in the future as the other kingdoms are even mentioned so my theory was a lot like with the pony Clans something happened between a different species to make them fight and disperse long before the ponies did then a long time in the future eventually the ponies fought and dispersed

Is briarwood the everfree forest ? : I honestly think so out of all the pony Clans in the beginning when the Unicorn still had their magic they would be able to defend themselves in the everfree forest if needed and by time they lost their magic they had already domesticated the place

Some creature must have used Grogar's bell to lock the magic away, and the crystals set them free. It was in the light house


If you tell me separated herself or her magic to make the crystals…<br>Oh gods, I wasn‘t the only who thought this!

If you tell me separated herself or her magic to make the crystals…
Oh gods, I wasn‘t the only who thought this!


To be honest, I don't know why but Sunny's dad believed in Twilight and is a blue-ish purple, so I think he might be a descendant of Twilight Sparkle. I don't know if this is true I was just thinking about that before I watched the video


I think I know what happened, groger or someone bad came back to get revenge and relised everyone from thutus. Twilight sperated her magic into gems for the tribes to use with there power, telling to give the gems to starlight to use to become a allicorn after the battle. They won, with no Twilight. Everyone relised that who ever put the gems together again would be allicorn. (This is why sunny from gen 6 movie became an allicorn but not permanently. ) They fought over it, never giveing the gems to starlight, who then grew old and died. They tribes sperated and fought. Twilight's magic sensed this and took all magic away to try to power the gems to bring back Twilight and failed. There was no friendship or harmony to left.


As a princess, Twilight would have lived forever. But by the death of her friends, there must have been some crisis and Twilight was alone. She might have had to sacrifice herself to finish it all off


This also explains why there are no other magical creatures around too. Think about it, there are no signs of other creatures around through the show, not even in the murals of the past when ponies got along, but all of those are from after the crisis so the idea that they may have died out due to lack of magic.
A good example of this is in Cozy Glows episode when she attempts to take all the magic, the mane six are stuck in Tarturus and take the magic from the beasts trapped there to get out, which turned them into normal animals, so it's not unreasonable to think the same thing would have happened to them again.
Also, when Twilight made the crystals, she would have only been able to give magic from the pony tribes to do it, so the other races wouldn't have benefited from it and instead would have either died out or left to find their own source, hence why there's no trace of them.

@Axolotl Fairy I thought about that, and my only idea is that they were able to leech off of the ponies until it ran out and as pets could survive under their care, like an endangered species only found in captivity.

@Shadow is insane Dead, or in some far off land with their own source of magic

What about the winged animals in zephyr heights tho?


I really hope this theory isn’t true because it’s just so sad but if it was I’d have a question how did the pony’s lose their magic? I think most people would think it’s because of some powerful enemy but I think it’s probably because of the pony’s not getting cutie marks. Ok listen I think after the 5 and spike died twilight fell into a depression I mean she was alone and didn’t have anyone and plus her family probably died earlier than them so she must have already been in a depression this influenced her leading skills and made the pony’s lose their sense of friendship. Because of this more and more pony’s didn’t get cutie marks and the ones that did could barely even use them and that’s how I think magic eventually died out in the end I think twilight either sacrificed herself only or she and the other alicorns sacrificed themselves to make all of the artifacts which lead to their deaths or like you said they lost their alicorns powers and lived the rest of their lives which I don’t really believe because now that all of them have lived so long they’d probably die the moment their not alicorns so In conclusion I think magic started to die out because the pony’s didn’t have a strong resolve anymore and so to continue the lineage of pony’s and all creatures the alicorns made a sacrifice, hence ending the g4 era.


Can someone explain to me why did the pegasi could fly while Cozy Glow was draining all the magic but now could not without the crystals being together.


There is a song called 'the throne of the elements' and the art in the background is amazing and nostalgic


what happened to sunnys dad he didnt look that old when she was a filly did he get sick or exiled for his ideals. the biggest question i have did losing their magic shorten their lifespan?


There's also the factor she might have wanted to give up her magic because she didn't want to lose her friends by enduring. She could have created the crystals as a test, a test to keep the three united and choose a new Alicorn from among them, one who could keep them together. All the while Twilight lived out her own twilight years with her friends and passed away peacefully. Perhaps the test was not completed fast enough and without Twilight's influence the three eventually divided and their magic faded as a resault.

@Jaanhavi and too mentioned, that where are every species in equestria that are united?

what about luster dawn? she could be the new ruler<br> of equestria

what about luster dawn? she could be the new ruler
 of equestria

No that couldn't be what happened she new she was the perfect alicorn for the job so no that couldn't be what happened


Really good theory for those who seek answers thank you!


I think you're right about the crystals being connected to twilight or allocorn magic in general, but it still doesn't explan why there are no more alacorns. I mean flurry heart was the youngest allocorn shouldn't she still be around


Honestly everyone always thinks what if all the mane 6 became alicorns that way they could all live forever with each other but I rarely see people think the opposite which is what was said in this video as in twilight gives up on being an alicorn and this does ALL make sense though


It's been 3 years since the show ended please hope it comes back


It could be possible that Cossie glow managed to actually drain the world of magic when she aged and she became a far greater threat

@F Well as Terry Pratchett says & Izzy proved in the begging of movie Unicorns are just ponies with a sharp, pointy end.  ;)

@Space Dinosaur if we are not counting earth pony unicorn and pegasi then the only magical creatures I saw was that flying dog

That is thought...how many magical creatures did we see in the movie?

@GURNEK SINGH We don’t know but maybe we’ll find out in the new MLP G5 series

@Audrey Lubnaya Sungkar Very true. But that still doesn’t explain where they are in G5. Are they destroyed? Defeated? Dead???? We know Tirek is probably immortal because he’s been around since forever. He heard tales of Grover as a kid so Tirek is definitely ancient. But Cosy probably died IF they were freed from stone since she’s mortal. As for Chrysalis…. Maybe she left to form a brand new hive to take back her old one when she realised her old one was gone. The changelings might have gone extinct. same for the other creatures like the yaks, hippogriffs, griffons, dragons, and so on. Who knows what happened to all of them? They’re not even depicted on the map in the picture of Sunny and Izzy. In that picture we see Zephyr Heights, Maretime Bay, and Bridlewood. But no other lands other than those. Maybe the other creatures were forgotten by the modern ponies.

But I don’t think her goal was to separate ponies. She said that friendship is power and in a world where magic doesn’t exist, ponies with friends (or in this case ponies to be manipulated to) would be the most powerful pony just like anarchy where a king without his people is no king. So I don’t think separating ponies would be a good idea for her goal.

@F Maybe the statue was destroyed or it’s probably there where it used to be because we know the ponies of G5 spread out all over Equestria. So we know Zephyr Heights is definitely Canterlot. It’s pretty obvious. So maybe the Pegasi stored the villain statue away or they destroyed it.

Okay so I have a question. What happened to tirek Cozy glow and Queen Chrysalis

Or what she did in the school was the starting point and while it mostly reversed it didn’t truest stop.

@Emily Rothman Not everyone thinks that. I dont give her such a doubt.

@Emily Rothman She wouldn't be far gone since she was turned into a statue for presumably 1000 years

@Emily Rothman <br>im pretty sure cozy's far beyond redemption, she'd still be statued at least

@Emily Rothman
im pretty sure cozy's far beyond redemption, she'd still be statued at least

nah she would have been long gone and we think she would have been reformed by then


It's a good fan theory. The only problem with it is, Hasbro would consider it "too sad."


hmm...i don't believe there is an indication of just how far in the future sunny is born. it could be thousands of years. it could also be that getting rid of magic gets rid of powerful villians too.


Very well, may the future of Equestria... rise on!!!


I really hope this isn't the case and it makes me sad that as they showed in the film that my little pony could someday not be remembered cause I loved that show and still so


Actually, having thought about it since yesterday, I don't think Twilight lived out the rest of her life as a mortal pony.

Remember, she needed to store all 3 tribe's magic into a Crystal.

That means her Pegasus, Earth Pony AND Unicorn magic... and she was a unicorn when she was mortal.

She couldn't just give away all 3 traits of ponies to the Crystals and keep being one of said traits.

Twilight would've needed to give uo her very being to create those Crystals, leaving no vessel to keep her soul in the mortal realm.

Twilight truly did not outlive her friends, being the first to pass on, so they could continue to live in a world full of magic

I agree with this that’s what I thought she’d have to give up everything

I mean you can be neither a unicorn, pegasus, nor earth pony. I think becoming full mortal would just make her a nondescript purple equine, like the saddle arabian horses or the donkeys we've seen.

And her being the crystals herself would also explain why the crystals didn’t bring magic back until all three tribes came together in friendship with twilights whole thing having been keeping friendship between every single creature in equestria


I just realized something when watching one of your recent Sombra videos, if the Alicorn Amulet was supposedly Sombra's, does that mean the Crystals in the G5 movie was Twilight's Alicorn Amulet?

The shape almost matches if you compare the two.
Wings on the side near the top, the unicorn horn/head in the middle, a diamond in the center.

You said Sombra's Alicorn magic was sucked out of him and put in the amulet.

It makes sense for Twilight to put her magic, her alicorn-hood into these 3 crystals and spread them apart.


Honestly I don't think Twilight only sacrificed her Alicorn magic... I think she sacrificed her own life to make the crystals<br>That's how I see it if somepony put all their magic into something they might not have the strength to survive much longer after.

so basiccally and that episode growing pains they saw twilight sparkle 🌟 She warned them about something. He said that was a terrible danger that wanted to take all the magic in Equestria she said  she tried everything  the last part. It had something to do with op- she was breaking up what she ment is opiline


My theory is Twilight could've made the Crystal out desperation, because I think after years of peace some ponys started fighting the different races started fighting each other,then a war broke out and Twilight had no choice but the seal everyone's Magic into the crystal to prevent them from killing each othe. Also she could have got fed up with pony kind and decided to leave after the war with other creates. I think after The Pony War!!!, ponies and Magical creates Deside to live separately so as not start another War.


I feel that, as she was loosing her friends, Twilight was slowly becoming Equestria's Midnight Sparkle. So, possibly with help from Discord and/or Flurry, Twilight created the artifacts we see in A New Generation.

@Tillscape i think Discord would've found a way to stay like dormant until magic could reform.

@Miko Edits well if magic started to disappear though out Equestria and discord needs chaotic magic to survive and exist it's best to say discord may have ceased to exist cause there was no longer magic and I'm guessing the same as well for cadence and flurry

1 question what about discord and flurry and also cadense


I think twilight continued to rule equestria and just separated a tiny part of her alicorn magic and formed the crystals and she still an alicorn as sunny is an temporary alicorn


Ok but these theories gave me the chills 👏😭

I wonder if Twilight REALLY sacrificed her alicornhood..


I think it would be amazing if you made a video explaining what happens to the other alicorns


Also it depends when she did this… if the crisis happened long after a regular pony life span when she transformed she could of been no more


What if, in creating the crystals, Twilight didn't only give up her alicorn status, but her life as well? We know alicorns aren't immortal, but what if her very life essence is what is contained within the gems? <br>And if she did that before Luster Dawn could become the next princess, it could explain why everything went south.

@Lea Seberg Fladstad I don’t think they’re immortal, but they just have a long lifespan

@Shona Dudley YES THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE

@Lea Seberg Fladstad They have very long lives, as Granny was alive before the founding of Ponyville, over a hundred years before the series starts. So ponies are long-lived creatures in general, but they don't seem to be immortal.

That’s what I thought too,like kinda what happened to mother gothel? Once the magic went away that was keeping her alive she turned into dust. Also notice how the crystals all look like something? Hooves,wings and a horn.

Yes, I liked Sawtooth's explanation, but this add-on of Twilight actually dying when making the crystals makes more sense to me. To make the crystals, she had to use ALL (in her) earth pony, unicorn, and pegasus  magic, meaning that there would be nothing left for her to exist, not even as an earth pony (which sawtooth seemed to think).

I wonder if Twilight also sealed her soul in the crystal as well? Which could explain why they activated after Sunny gave her speech at the end.

I thought the same thing too. Out of desperation for the safety of equestria, twilight used every piece of her magical essence to make the crystals so that everypony/creature would be safe from all danger. But along with using all of her magic, she also gave up her life as well. When the spell was complete, the crystals formed and her cutie mark showed in the sky like it did with her becoming an alicorn, but instead of seeing twilight again, everypony and creature saw, dust.. of what was their great alicorn princess, just like when she finished starswirl's spell. She was killed by the magic.. but wasn't reborn again. After seeing that their leader had died, all the ponies and creatures would grieve her heroic death, and soon after start blaming each other, saying they were the reason she gave up herself for them. Then slowly but surely, the tribes would separate to different parts of equestria with their respective crystals, maybe the other creatures would've gone their own way as well too after the fight was over. Well that's was depressingly saddening.


The earth pony in the middle of the my little pony new generation stained glass wall looks a lot like luster dawn


Fun fact: in this movie in the beginning they had the 6 friends so this proof it's more true and that means she was in this world


I think your theory is very plausible. Hopefully Part 2 of My Little Pony: New Generation will be out soon. So that we can all learn something more ... for example: -Where are the other races? (dragons, hippogriffs, griffins, changelings or Yaks.) -At least some knowledge, what really happened to the magic of the ponies? -Maybe a little more information about the map (to discover the new Equestrie) E.t.c.. I love your movies and all theories! I am curious about the next movies. ❤❤


I was thinking about commenting this the day you posted but I forgot so here it is….

In Twilight’s kingdom part 2, All the alicorn princesses transferred their magic to Twilight yet all of them stayed an alicorn. The only thing they lost is their cutie mark. So I don’t think it is possible for Twilight to un-became an alicorn.


A movie explaining this crisis would be the coolest thing ever.

Yeah! I would love an in-between movie that really connects the two generations.


Honestly, I think twilight made the stones/crystals cause if other ponies found it, they would learn that they were wasting time collecting the crystals, and realizes they don’t need the stones.


I think the only opponent who could do this is someone of Discords or Grogars caliber when I comes to magic since both are considered some of the most powerful beings in equestria besides the alicorns.

Maybe using the “power of friendship” to release grogar’s magic in chrysalis, tirek and cozy ended up bringing back grogar and he stole the magic from all the Changlings, dragons, yaks, ponies, etc…

In the final moments in a fierce battle with him Twilight split her magic up into three crystals since his bell can only steal the magic from living beings and not artifacts. In doing so she simultaneously bemoaned grogar, herself and her friends to a different plane of existence or possibly even killed them.


Interesting theory, but if true, i think for Twilight it would be much worse then just losing her alicorn magic to create the crystals. In order to make them she would have to put all of her magic into them, even more so then when Tirek drained their magic. I think she became the crystals themselves.


I just saw something on the mural of the 3 crystals. It shows in the lower right corner a stone with wings. Could that indicate twilight is departed?


I agree with this, but you missed the fact that Sunny was originally just a earth pony but got wings and a horn after connecting them together. Twilight's spirit may have caused this

@Garrett Viewegh It would explain how the sun and moon still rise and set everyday. Supposedly, Twilight took over those duties after Celestia and Luna retired. But Twilight is gone and the day and night cycles continue as normal.

This may not be cannon at all, but I like the idea of characters like Celestia, Luna, and Twilight becoming part of the stars or magic of Equestria. Similar to how the circle of life can be depicted as a tree growing from a seed and seeds from fruit being spread on the ground to grow more trees later on. But, in a more magical sense. I don’t see Twilight returning as some sort of ghost offering the next generation wisdom like Obi-Wan though.


alternative theory: the amulet was formed out of the magic of the elements of harmony 2 in a 2 EoH = 1 crystal equation, Rainbow and Fluttershy's elements form the pegasus crystal, AJ and Pinkie for the earth pony crystal and Twilight and Rarity's for the unicorn crystal


But even if twilight lived,it would be sad to see twilight losing her friends one by one until its only her left.


But when tirek was here and took magic the ponies looked pretty bad and weak, and making the earth pony crystal means even earth pony magic is gone so there is no magic in her, so how did she live a normal life?


Everyone is asking the question what happened to the other creature and flurry hearts
Surely we see in the last season before the movie a stain glass representing flurry hearts. And
Twilight was just like  celestia and luna the ultimate ruler of equstria so what if things go like this after twiligh sacrificed herself the whole equstria changed
Now twilight didnt knew the consqunces this would lead but i think that twilight did not just sacrificed herself she sacrifced other ponies and creatures too.  By creating the artifactes it took the magic from other alicorns too like flurry heart and cadence this lead them to also turn to a normal pony. This caused disturbance to other creatures and ponies some thought that was unfair and thought that twilight should have done what the sisters did normally rule equstria this caused a distruction including the main 6 they were trying to protect twilight but something happened that caused all of them to disapper only the few who understood twilight managed to escape  and created a whole another generation
Here is another theory
What if the artifacts that twilight created caused this whole genration. Like the elments of harmony so here is how the theory goes
The war has taken place and the artifacts are in the castle. A pony OR twilight knows that this can lead to a very terrible situation so she uses the artifacts and unknowingly she got control over all the magic in equstria and made this whole new generation but this dont explain the stain glass so i think the first theory is more explainable


If the crystals were Twilight's Alicorn Magic infused, while giving up her Alicornhood, then when Sunny uses them, it makes sense why she became a Alicorn herself then🤔  But just my opinion. I really hope Hasbro addresses it in the series😁

Sunny isnt a alicorn. It was only a power up, lol. If you see the new upcoming mlp toys, you'll see sunny doesn't have wings or a horn anymore, but she still has the rainbow streak in her hair

They will i believe but if we go by the same format of the plot of MLP FiM, then it'll probbaly be very slow and take a long time


I really love all the theories BUT I JUST WANT HASBRO TO TELL US WHAT REALLY HAPPENED!!


I have a theory I’m pretty sure not every pony hates each other and some pony’s remember the past other wise she wouldnt have so much mearcn from the main five(unless her dad made them) and it also explains why the windagos haven’t returned but where did he get the books and all the models of the past artifacts unless some pony’s other then him know the past and know the magic of friendship and maybe there’s whole other parts of equestria where ponies of all tribes live together and possibly every creature? Maybe outside of those  three city’s live city’s where creatures of all live together explaining why there’s not enough hate for the windagos to return or something is holding them back?


wait<br>could she had decided to resort to this because her friends had passed on, or were close to? she was destined to outlive them as an alicorn.

wait
could she had decided to resort to this because her friends had passed on, or were close to? she was destined to outlive them as an alicorn.


I have my own theory about what happened to Equestria and I feel like you can’t even make this into a video. Basically twilight and her friends rolled over Equestria together but being an à la corn twilight had a much longer life than her friends. They Did everything together but when her friends time came to an end, She probably started to feel empty inside and if the princess of friendship loses sight of that the rest of a Equestria would probably soon follow. I’m willing to bet Sunny star scout was a descendant of one of twilight’s friends most likely pinkie pie (Being the only one we know had children) and her father knew this Which could be why he made it his goal to keep the stories alive


you know for a minute there i thought this: she gave away her pegasi (wings) magic and turned it into a crystal, then she gave away her unicorn magic (horn) and finally when she was now just an earth pony, gave away her earth pony magic (whatever that is) and faded from existence since she has no magic left

I think she quite literally became the crystals as she sacrificed everything to create them leaving no trace of twilight sparkle other then the creation of her final act it Even fits the transformation motif as she transformed into the crystals

She gave away the ability to fly, use magic and the emence strength of an earth pony.

Earth pony magic has to do with the earth and being able to make things grow and thrive in even harsh conditions.

that would honestly be a cool send off for her. i sorta just assumed that she lost her strength and was restricted in movement- y’know back in twilights kingdom how when drained of their magic, the earth ponies in appleloosa just kinda collapsed and couldn’t move.


so in short: their "inate" powers are becoming weaker and twilight sacrificed herself to make the artifacts so it can be used longer because artifacts have longer "lifespan"?


For real it sounds beliveable... as long at they don't show things against this theory, this is canon to me.


I have one theory!!<br>What if twilight made the gem because some villain came for magic and the other mane six died....and she sacrificed herself because the villain was to powerful...or maybe the villain can also come from the human world!The villain got cadance and flurry heart and twilight was the only hope...that would be insane

I have one theory!!

My theory is that a big war happened between gen 4 and gen 5. The war took place because of the same creatures that caused the separation of Earth ponies, Pegasi, and Unicorns. This separation caused no new friendships to be made and so Equestria fell. It wasn’t twilight who caused the fall of Equestria, the 3 sirens did. With no other choice, Twilight had to create the crystals that would eventually unite Earth, Pegasi, and Unicorns. In doing so, she sacrificed her powers until what remained was a husk of her original self. And that is a theory. A game theory.


If you look at the various mural pieces, note that the unicorn and pegasus panes are connected directly by lines, but the lines don't line up on the earth pony panel despite those lines being there.

In other words, there's a fourth pane of glass between Twilight's symbol and the Earth Pony panel that we haven't seen yet.

@ardenthesun I agree. The earth pony pane isn't lining up because of the perspectives. The unicorn and pegasus panes are slanted as if we are looking up at them, but when we finally see the earth pony pane, it's not like that.

While that would be super awesome and I love that idea, he probably just drew it wrong? Lol

@FLIDE THE CHEMIST While yes, discord does become more inclined even in his good state he made tons of mistakes. I wont spoil anything, but 2 season finales where caused by reformed discord. Additionally, I wouldn't be suprised if Discord returned to evil when the m6 died and started becoming just legend.

@Cosmic Crystals I haven't watched much MLP, but didn't Discord ultimately become somewhat more... Inclined to do good because of Fluttershy?

I mean, unless by the time Fluttershy had already been thanosed, Discord became evil willy - nilly again. I don't really know LMFAO.

@Gabby Hall My theory is Discord has something to do with the fact we see pretty much no other races but the main three pony races. I was making a horrible pun.

@K Random Stuff Or maybe something more...discord-ant, for the other races we nolonger see.

you are right about it not lining up that is a good eye

That bottom right of Twi's mark looks like a tombstone.


great theory but according to someone who worked on the movie. the fate of the mane 6 hasn’t been decided and the reason of the tribes separating hasn’t been decided either.


What was the new generation and its story takes place in a place very far from Equestria, as we saw in the film only villages and small cities for each type of pony, and this is impossible because we saw the pony in thousands and we saw in the film a symbol of Twilight, but the place where it was apparently a transport station or Post, and this indicates that the place is far from the Kingdom.


there is one more detail though in the G5 movie the action figures of the main six that sunny would play with when she was younger, twilight had wings...


i feel like I understand twilight’s cutie mark now- twilight, has magic in her cutie mark, because she was meant to bring magic back together when it ran out


Another idea:

The mane six all gave in their magic to stop whatever was happening. All of their essence in the crystals would make the crystals much more powerful, even if they are with just Twilight, they'd be even stronger with her friends. They all came together and gave their magic, then Twilight would go back to mortal and passes with her friends. This is just a personal idea from the beams kind of matching their coats along with the stars from her mark.

@Abby *
I think it was more than that. Equestria's very nature was tied to magic, then it wasn't. Whatever happened it "killed" most magic in the land.
Is it tied to the final arc of the comic?! Because then it would make more sense if magic had to mostly end to stop a war and it shows that not-pony races are not even mentioned. There should be some interaction between the other ponies if there is with totaly different species.

Just like the pillars did they all had to make a sacrifice

This could also explain why the crystals could only be activated when the tribes came together; maybe their magic had a bond that could no longer be broken.

@Argamis (SilverComet) also maybe Flurryheart and Cadence too,unless they put their magic into the crystal heart and therefore died as well.

Because of "balance issues", then Starlight Glimmer (but not Spike) should had sacrificed their magic/lives alongside Twilight in order to make the 3 crystals.
2 unicorns (Rarity & Starlight).
2 pegasi (Dash & Fluttershy).
2 earthlings (Pinkie & Applejack).
1 alicorn (Twilight)
 = 7 "components"  -> 2 per gem & the "bind" between them


0:42 Pause- THERE! The students 6!

As we can see they defeated or did something that was big that it was even a memorial in stained glass.. But what was it? And why is there not one about the students 6 saving the Spirit of harmony/The Tree of harmony and making a new tree?
I have so many questions and- WOW Magic is confusing-

The Spirit of harmony can literally take the form of twilight..

Does that mean it can also take the form of future twilight and live forever since it'll just keep being a new generation of the spirit kinda-
And can the tree find a new founder [Maybe the students 6] and take the form of them or have their spirits become one or take place?

But then the spirit is like in the tree? Or related some how with the tree. But then The spirit killed the Tree of harmony it self- Does that mean it's like it's self? It's own spirit? I mean yes it has Twilight's form and her voice but- Wait- Ok magic is confusing and I'm sure the new era of magic will be more confusing too- Just like how confusing this video was-

I may be wrong :') But I'm still curious- What happened to the students 6 and are they still here?

So I have cake up with a pretty wild theory but kinda makes since so maybe when a alicorn/queen dies they turn into crystals like instead of twilight making the crystals she died and became the crystals and each queen has there own unique crystal but they can also change there crystal before they die so what if each element of harmony was the crystal of a dead queen but twilight altered hers to be different so that when she died if something happened and the pony’s started to separate and hate eachother the crystal would separate too and the magic would disappear until a pony united everyone and the crystal pieces in which the crystal would be whole again and give the pony who united them wings and a horn or a horn if they have wings etc. but twilights crystal would stay forever doing the same thing if the separated again if you have something else you want to add comment!


this makes play your part have so much more meaning for me


Quick question when we last saw Twilight All creatures lived in harmony what happened to them did all the creatures die I like your theory


My theory is similar to yours Sawtooth, except i believe that Twilight must've known that once she was gone there would be nopony left to keep the magic of friendship alive, so she probably created the crystals and stored whatever was left of the magic of friendship inside the crystals in hopes that one day somepony would believe in the magic again and would be able to restore it to Equestria once again...but anyway that's my theory.

It's actually a possibility,  good thinking 😃

You can imagine an immortal being will lose her loved ones and close friends. Even married with kids couldn't help much either. So she rather pass away so she can meet her friends in heaven too. Sadly, G5's side effect is the reason nopony wanted to succeed Twilight, not even Luster Dawn. Flurry Heart needs to tend to the Crystal Empire and she can't leave them, one day, like her mom & dad, Flurry too will pass away, she'll have a new kid to rule the Crystal Empire for her.

Maybe she knew someone else would find those old stuff and continue. If Argyle hadn't done research and hadn' tdecided to tell story about the mane 6. Sunny would probably never be the mare that she is now.


Wonderful theory but what about the sun and moon who is controlling it now? Has anyone thought of that? I mean before Celestia and Luna it was said that Starswirl and other unicorns had to team up to raise the sun and moon


Shocking conclusion, its an alternate equstria! Because the only explanation for this future of our beloved equestria is essentially that all the alicorns were imprisoned or killed in some way. Considering the entire world (literally) revolves around magic (moving the sun and moon anyone?) and that alicorns are (debatably) godlike beings of magic, this would mean that something akin to an apocalypse happened in equestria. This is hard to believe unless your talking something like Tirek getting out, or cozy glow sucking all the magic out of the world, but if thats true then why are they not controlling the world? Its very iffy on what actually happened (if it really isnt some sort of alternate reality.) I dont agree with the idea of her just "unbecoming an alicorn" because ya...thats death. So either something else happened, or twilight died moving her magic to the crystals OR she technically IS the crystals. Of course that doesnt explain where luna, celestia, cadence or flurry heart went.


If Twilight put all her magic into the crystals and turned back into a unicorn, then shouldn't Celestia and Luna get word about twilight and then continue ruling or would twilight make sure that her best student became the next ruler either way what happened to Celestia, and Luna are they still Alicorns as we saw but what happened to them? where are they now? Are they still immortal? If so, shouldn't they both make sure that unicorns, Pegasus and Ponys stick to gather? or after they retired did, they lose all immortality?


This makes me wonder, though... what happened to Luster Dawn? Wasn't she supposed to be her successor, in the same way Twilight was to Celestia?


What a sad story. I usually hope that your theories come true but this time I’m hoping that it doesn’t. I’m way too scared to accept this as the truth. But still, thanks a lot for all your hard work. And unlike me I’m sure that you’re not afraid to accept this as the truth. I appreciate all your hard work. Have a nice day 😊


She also could have died making the crystals


Hear me out, just like how Luna was banned to the moon with Ali corn magic what if this new evil queen did what sombra and cozy did to make herself an alicorn. For some reason twilight didn’t want this knowledge spread onto unicorns and inevitably had to split up the magic so it was unattainable. And the evil queen banished her to the stars. Along with the mane 6!!!! And the crystals were the last kinda hope equestrians would regain friendship and aim her escape later on!!! Count the stars around the cutie mark in the stain. Idk rambling but maybe?! Gen 5 is gunna be so interesting


One problem about the sky. As i remember that the sky/wether is controlled by the pony's so how does the wether changes in the movie?


I think your right... but I think twilight died when she gave her power to the gems


Soooo... what if CozyGlow, Tired, and Chrysalis broke free from their statue and created the crisis where Twilight had to sacrifice her magic?


At 5:31 my first thought was “ wait but if she separated all of her magic from herself (including even earth pony and/or unicorn) wouldn’t she just cease to exist. Or like become a normal horse. I know that’s probably not how it works/worked, but yk)


wait, if your theory of Twilight is true, what happens to Luster dawn? did she ever become an alicorn? did she just stayed a unicorn? or basically EVERYONE during the time this happen?


What if there was a war between the three kinds of pony and so Twilight sacrificed herself to store their abilities in the artifacts until they were able to unite.   Thats where all the rumors of what each pony type is like came from


That is a possibility, but if I would have to take an actual guess of how it actually happened, the real Grogar actually came and used another memory stone to erase everypony’s memories about friendship and unity, with the exception of the Mane Six, Spike, the Student Six, Starlight, Discord, Sunburst, Trixie, Celestia, and Luna, so to make sure they don’t go at war with each other, they decided to create three crystals for each of the tribes to get rid of magic, so the ponies don’t use it if they go to war, but Twilight and everyone else knew that there will be a day in the future when Earth ponies, unicorns, and pegasi will bring the crystals will ignite and restore magic, but only if all three tribes come together again, and whoever brings them together will have the power of an alicorn. But just right before they can get rid of it, Grogar came in and a brutal battle started, after fighting for a whole, Twilight and the rest of the Mane Six used their rainbow magic one last time to make it work, and it did. However, after that happened… Grogar stabbed Twilight, and she died. Thankfully, the magic was gone, so much that Grogar disappeared. They both won the battle, but lost magic and Equestria’s ruler and friend.

The memory stone is actually on the theory board in the movie! So the memory stone at least played an important part in why things are the way that they are!

Maybe he meant that another artifact similar to memory stone erased their memory

but didn't the memory stone get destroyed?


I think Alicorns have a limited life span, but it was never discovered-
I mean, what if twilight made the crystals from something each of her friends loved when they passed away? Soon 100,000,000 years later Twilight dies, I mean tbh that seems very long! ( and believable to be immortal to other ponies )
Or, the treehouse that was made broke, and something like how twilight sacrifices herself the tree is those crystals since the tree knows when to call which hero when!


So my theory concerning the fallout is that with twilight gone the council of friendship couldn't hold and the foundation of everything around it crumbled including the unity of ponies...again


I just wish they did G5 in new universe, completely unrelated to the G4... It's heartbreaking to see Equestria like this, I can't get over it. Why are they destroying the beautiful worlds they created? The same thing happened with Star Wars. <br>Don't get me wrong, I'm not against the G5. I understand that it is something new, that it isn't supposed to be the same as G4 and I even most of things in it(eg. absolutely cute and realistic designs), but making this world, which is so divided a "future Equestria" hurts me so much. Only a really good, making a big sense explanation from the producers could save it for me... Explanation from the video is a good start to it and I hope producers will do something like that, or even better... Unless, I'm just gonna stick to G4 and pretend new generation doesn't exist.

I'm think I'm fully addicted to these. 🤣


I think it has something to do with the last issue of the comic that came out, where the three villains were seen breaking free from their stone prison

@CoolDoominator yeah I don't deny that. But the comics follow the story of the show but it's not true the other way around. So any future development in the show/movies will not include the story of the comics S10.

@KitsyKatsy The commenter doesn't work bc the evil trio aren't around when Twilight and her friends talk to Luster Dawn, which means they got defeated before that (between the comic's end when they start breaking out and the beginning of The Last Problem). So the big event that might've led to the creation of the crystal should take place after The Last Problem

Might as well since I bought them anyways lol

OMG WHAT???? NOW IM DEFINITELY GONNA STOP STARING AT THE COVERS AND ACTUALLY READ THE SERIES

@CoolDoominator No, if you google it, it says that the comics follow the show but the show doesn't follow the comics cannon. So its just an add on.

Maybe after they broke out from stone they managed to take the magic away from everyone except twilight who was then able to defeat them. But after that they couldn’t get there magic back from them. So twilight sacrificed her own magic so that equestria could go back to the way it was. Twilight would also not have to live without her mortal friends. Which also makes me think. When Sunny was first revealed I theorized she may be related to Applejack. But because of her name and her perceived destiny, maybe she is related to Luster Dawn.

Twilight sacrificed herself for a reason Friendship of each tribe and to keep their magic and friendship alive she may be forgotten but she may be alive because her friends represent it and all 5 make the sixth one Magic Her element will never die of her friends none will forget her then!

Wait, i thought the comics weren't canon and just some add-on to the animated series to make more money. Can someone please clarify the canon material of the comics?

@NightDragon5 Quest that last point you said there interests me
Trap them.
There are three crystals and three villains aren't there? What if she didn't just sacrifice herself but also trapped them in the crystals because they stole all of magic?

@NightDragon5 Quest I'M SORRY WHAT! I NEED TO READ A COMIC NOW!

Could be they started taking away magic and separating the tribes, maybe Twilight made the crystal to protect magic from them. Or made the crystal to stop them/ trap them, they aren't seen anywhere after all.


i think you’re forgetting that when cadence gave her magic to twilight she didn’t turn back into a unicorn. i’m using cadence as an example bcuz we know she wasn’t born an alicorn unlike celestia and luna. also i think u still may b right abt twilight dying of old age after giving up her magic. i think that didn’t happen to cadence bcuz she hasn’t been alive for THAT long yet. otherwise, this is a very good theory

also when twilight gave up her magic she didn’t turn back into a unicorn (excuse me while i rewatching these episodes lmao)


Maybe when twilight sparkle died a little bit of magic still control the elements but still needed to be united with friendship


I think she probably gave her life to make the artifacts, meaning she’s dead.


This idea makes sense actually. We've seen that the creation of alicorns is linked to major changes in equestria. Starswirl (likely) created Xelestia and Luna who dealt with discord and restored order, they made cadence to bring love and save the Crystal empire, mind you the heart being a relic to ensure love and acceptance, and then them making twilight. Perhaps twilight saw that Relics like the crystal heart endure time, as do the elements of Harmony (surviving 1000 years) and thought that the greatest sacrifice as a princess of magic and friendship would be to give up the former, to spend her life with the latter and ensure that both continue in the kingdom she was left

She <b>hoped</b> her specific type of magic—friendship—would last through the ages and find someone to keep the tribes together/bring them together

She *hoped* her specific type of magic—friendship—would last through the ages and find someone to keep the tribes together/bring them together


Yknow what i know? Twilight is actually in hiding in some cave with her friends in some kind of cryo sleep state and someone still hasn’t found them and nobody can tell me that shes dead otherwise


A fitting end for the Princess of Magic.


I also have a question this theory. What about sunny?  I mean if Twilight put all her magic in the crystals, how did sunny became a Alcorn??


after twilight friendship between the three tribes started to stop being the princess of friendship she had to do something the one how wants to bring back friendship will carry on the legacy so she made the crystals


Twilight didn't outlive her friends. One thing to connect to your theory. Have you noticed that G5 ponies only have cutie marks on their right flank when back in G4 it was both? That maybe a sign of what that crisis was, why thay need artifact to have magic now, Equestria's magic was literally cut in half.

Also I want one of the G5 toys I do think I may have 2 ponies toys that are like free g1 I have no idea where they came from probably some toys that were my sisters or something.

also toy marketing G4 toys only had them on one side when G4 ponies in show at it on two sides and a couple of fans did complete about them not being like in the show. So that could be one of the reasons that Hasbro did that. But now the question is in the lore.


I have a theroy that she sacrificed herself to create the crystals containing her alicorn magic and when sunny turned inti an alicorn she absorbed her alicorn magic and maybe could have a spiritual connection to twilight just like avatar legend of korra or steven seeing his gem counter part when white diamond pull his gem out of him.


If ya match up all the circles of the artefacts you cat sun/star looking shape. Don’t know what that means but I liked how they all fit the purple rays


this is interesting but what about the rest of the princess's?<br>flurry heart should at least be around

this is interesting but what about the rest of the princess's?
flurry heart should at least be around

Damn, this actually makes a lot of sense! When you implied the sacrifice, I first thought that Twilight would literally transform herself into the 3 crystals. I like this scenario even more somehow.

@Icho No, when an Earth Pony loses their Magic they lose their special connection to nature, their unique strength and plant magic (we saw their plant magic implied in the 3 tribes play)

@Raw Explorer I think it does I mean if your suggesting if a earth pony loses magic they like die? I think Apple jack gotten her magic ate by tirek

But it doesnt make sense - there are three crystals and Twilight has 3 kinds of magic, so I think she herself rather turned Into the crystals. It makes sense. The crystals activated via the magic of friendship and the unicorn magic is magenta just like Twilight


“twilight unbecame a alicorn!” Just sounds hilarious😂😂


Nah this is how you ruin a childhood!The creators of this movie have OUTDONE themselves because MLP is and always will be my childhood show and in one movie all nine seasons were thrown out the window


Wait a sec... Wait what about the sun and moon they went up and down from magic right? Does anybody remember that part?


I still have so many questions what about the crystal empire, the mirror portal, who raises and lowers the sun and moon, what about discord, Twilight's palace, her school?


Here is a question I have- So I believe when Twilight was ruler of Equestria, Cadence was still alive. And Cadence next gen was her daughter Flurry, which would mean there is still alicorn magic. I also believe Twilight crowned new Alicorns including Starlight and possibly Luster Dawn. Twilight put her magic into the artifact but not other Alicorn magic. So what happened there?

Considering that Sunny being alicorn-nized even if temporary proves that a ton of magic is needed... They probably un-became alicorns from the lack of magic as well, either by trying to put their magic into artifacts or maybe the now magic-less world leaching it from them.

Well my theory was that whatever the crisis was needed all the princesses help so those crystals are actually carved from the crystal heart and infused with each princess magic which is why it's different colors


Ok everything you said it's maybe true but I think I know why did twighlight had to sacrefice her alicorn magic besides of what u said in this vid
I think her friends died- because mortal ponies are basically not imortal but alicorns are ... in my belief twighlight was on crippling depression because of her friends deaths
So she wants to join them in the clouds so she made those crystals to join her friends but also store her magic in those crystal for many generations to come
Since the crystals represents all of the tribes but the thing is that in the future the ponies had no more power even the capability to fly how? And why do they need
The crystals to be united to just only knew that they just need to trust each other and get along. And how would twighlight knows in the next generation they need those crystals it's a question that I don't understand .


I'll be honest... I'm traumatized.
Somehow I hope sunny brings her back somewhere in the series or maybe finds her.
Something like this would be epic

The voice actress for Twilight Sparkle confirmed that she's not going to be in G5.


Spirit or not, twilight might still live in the artifacts. And perhaps she still live even when she had sacrificed herself.


I love this theory but... what happened to Luster Dawn?


After Celesta and Luna retired they were tired of raising the sun and moon so they gave up there magic to make them rise naturally. Cadence and Flurry didn't want to live out Shining Armor so they gave there magic to the Crystal heart. I Twilight sparkle sacrificed myself 3,000 years later when Equestria became a democracy and I had to give up my magic in order to become prisedint.  I wanted Equestria to have some magic left so i made the crystals!

Was so confused till I looked at your profile lmao😂

omg my celestia are you ruling with snowdrop lunas special filly?

o hi im your big fan like sunny starscot o im so sorry for not saying your majesty your majasty did you sacrifice all of your magic to put it in the crystal so now you are the one who had no magic forever?

LOL, sorry..its kinda funny there when u say  " I had to give up my magic in order to become president"😂🙂

Thank you Twilight, your service will never be forgotten


Hey😄, just wanted to say that I'm a fan & not only are you the first MLP Enthusiast I've idolize🤩🤩🤩
  But, one of the best theorist of MLP I've seen yet to come😄
  Although, I'm a bit embarrassed that I might have to catch up on a few channels & series of MLP 😅
  Furthermore just want to let you know how great you, your Channel & this community has been so far & I can't wait to watch it grow over time 😄😄😄
  ~P. S. I don't know if it's totally important and/or if it's probably nothing, but I've noticed after watching this video twice & the movie of the new generation. There seems to be something about the two main figures of the still glass ( the Unicorn & the Pegasus). The unicorns horn & the Pegasus wings seem to be the same color & have a unique glow-like appearance just like Sunny did when she turned into an (Alicorn?) Just mere coincidence, or am I overseeing things as they probably are 🤔


Ok Ik I'm late in commenting but I needed time to get more info and I got from the new trailer at the end we saw twilight in some sort of hologram I am thinking that since the other ponies past away she didn't have anyone to help with the friendship part of magic so she made the cristals not only knowing that the tribes would fight but also knowing that eventually one of person will join it all back and bring the magic of friendship back and I think sunny is in her family I think they are somewhat related bc she is basically the only one we have seen getting to know abt the main six I'm guessing that twilight made sure the info was passed she planned all this and now she is back as a hologram or whatever we still don't know to help the new friends in bringing it back fully idk this is just me what do u think?


Also her friends weren't going to live forever they could've used their dying spark for the artifacts and since Twi is the princess they and made it possible is why her mark is there


This entire theory hinges on the new Writing Team having the same amount of creativity as the cute little grey colt with the hair barrette. <br>Im not optimistic that they do, but I suppose the g5 series will show.

I happily consider this canon. It was beautiful


IN MY STORY I NEED TO SACRAFICY MYSELF TO SAVE EVERYONE AND STAR A NEW WORLD SO TWILIGHT NEEDS TO DO THAT TO MAKE PEACE ORDER TO DO THAT


Wait, didn't the Royal sisters and Cadence give their magic to twilight and were still alicorns 🤔


What if twilight used her alicorn magic to make the crystals so when the magic went to sunny she got twilights magic


I really like this theory but in my mind i would make her not fully sacrifice herself but maybe her and her friends got all their magic into them gems to keep the magic from one of the most magical ponies to excist. What if she got turned to stone like with discord after friendship broke when they split the crystal and hated eachother and the loss of friendship took away all magic and she was forgotten in the canterlot castle…??? The comics comming soon proves someone or something is alive and probably from gen 4 it might be discord based on the cover for comic number 2 but my thought would be twilight cause it would make everything much more interesting


I love this theory, honestly. It just depicts ultimate form of self-sacrifice, Twilight sacrificing what she had accomplished (and becoming an Alicorn) to sharing it with everyone. Putting everyone else above herself, as her duty, is the perfect character arc. It's just the most poetic end for the bearer of the element of Magic.


It could be possible the the last mane 6(not the new ones) Come back but bigger big enough to protect Equestria


I cried so much yesterday when I found out that they took away the 3-8 episodes on Netflix:( And that they are changing to g6:(


i think ever since the elements of harmany broke she created the crystals as a replacement


This is an old vid but I think that instead of sacrificing her alicornhood she sacrificed her life. Bc she can’t be a pony without being one of the three ponies, and there’s a crystal for every single tribe.


You started to lose me a little with the "sacrificing her alicornhood" part, but making a failsafe to preserve magic in the event of a crisis absolutely makes sense and is definitely something Twilight would do, given the crises she's seen (several of which directly had to do with the loss of magic).


Btw as you see luster dawn is a unicorn and twillight used to be a unicorn so luster dawn is gonna be a princess so she's gonna be what twilligyt was in through so as you see in luster dawns name it has the word dawn so she might be the replacement of celestia


i wonder where everyone else. we also never saw any non creatures. i rlly hope they will make more series on what happened between the movie and the series. and of course a 2nd movie of the next gen


I have a question in the magic of friendship the pegasi can even though their is no magic but in the new generation they can’t but why ?


Let's not dive on depressing theories before the show give more explanations.Twillight could be dead without magic, stuck somewhere or trapped by a evil entity.


I really like this theory because it also calls back to something else that happened in the season 8 finale. When the main six and spike were trapped in Tartarus they needed to get magic from somewhere so they could open the door. The other imprisoned creatures around them didn't have their own magical abilities anymore but there was still the magic that made up what they are. and when they willingly gave up that magic, they were all separated into the various beings that they were amalgamations of. We are deliberately not shown what happened to Tirek though arguably the most sentient creature of the bunch. We do see the chimera which is the only other creature of all of them that has ever been seen to talk and have a personality, and it was separated just like the rest of them, so we can assume that something similar happened to Tirek. The mural we find depicting the creation of the crystals also shows us three ponies, one from each tribe, and Twilight is nowhere to be seen. Her cutie mark is up there, but she's not. So naturally my first thought was that she literally separated into three beings that are fragmented and aren't really their own ponies fully. Because they used to be one individual and now there's three of them and that can't be good for your psyche. But I think that's even way darker and therefore less probable to have happened, so let's look at it from another angle. Who do those three ponies remind you of? A unicorn with a curly mane and tail and pink color scheme, a pegasus with a purple mane and orange wings, and a red and orange earth pony. Granted they don't look one to one like them but they evoke the imagery of a trio that we know very well from Gen 4. The CMC. I don't think it's them because if it was they would have made it a much more direct easter egg, because they know we would have lost our minds at that, but I think it's very possible, especially if this takes place after all the friends twilight knew are long gone, Which would then make even more sense as to why she's resorting to such desperate measures, that these are descendants of the CMC. And I do think the CMC had descendants while most of the mane six didn't, after all we see in the epilogue that Pinkie in the only one of them with a kid. Personally I'd like it better if a next generation of the CMC in the far future was involved in the creation of the crystals. I personally think the CMC have always represented the unity between the tribes more than the mane six did. So that brings us back to what happened to Twilight. Because while I do think it's possible that she lived out the rest of her days as a mortal pony, I can also imagine something a lot sadder. I think giving up all that magic, not just what magic she could do but the magic that made up what she is, could have, for lack of a better term, unmade her. After that spark in the sky disappeared she was just. Gone. Which honestly is way less dark and problematic than the first idea I had. Kind of wild that my original idea is more angsty than death by sparkle explosion. But yeah anyway, those are the thoughts I had following this video.

For the love of Twilight, space out your comment. this is a wall of text. the enter key exists for a reason


This theory explains a lot and makes sense.


Also of note, her cutie mark contains six little stars around the big one but in the mural there are only five<br>Idk what it means tho

@Reese
5:15
When twilight becomes an alicorn, her cutie mark is in the sky with six little stars

Twilight's cutie mark has 5 white stars around it, not 6.


Soooo it's basically Twilight Sparkle in the Friendship of Madness. Dialogue proof:
"Don't make the crystals"
"It's too dangerous"
"why?"
"we tampered with the stability of magic"
"the magic of friendship is a concept of which we know frighteningly little" (this is just trying to match the lines btw)
"Your desecration of reality"
"will not go unpunished"
"It was the only way"
"But I never"
"meant for any of this"
"to happen"


I'm really crying about twilight's sacrifice


Ive heard a lot of theories on how these crystals work, what they are, what happened with Twilight, etc etc- but this is definitely one of my favourite theories

Though not surprising- Sawtooth makes wonderful content


We don’t SEE the other parts of the world, we see a small part- three whole places- and that’s it. And who knows how far in the future this is, meaning all the other parts of the world probably lost their connections to the ponies as well. Meaning it isn’t as if all the other races disappeared, they’re simple confined outside of Equestria. It’s not like they ever crossed that boarder a lot in the past either. So there are whole possibly completely different cultures for all the creatures we once knew. Which would be amazing to see. Also other pony civilizations, there’s no way that single shore town and that rundown unicorn village in the woods and a giant city are the ONLY pony civilizations. That is practically impossible, and if it is so, that’s very disappointing and unrealistic.


i feel like she would have just died after like taking away the imortal part would leave her looking like an old woman and she would die after  because its been sooooooo long since she was young


twilight must have made a morally grey choice and likely realized that things would sort themselves out even at the cost of losing Equestria  "hope is never too far gone in the eyes of the beholder"


idk man its just hilarious to me that everyone is searching for the connection between these two generations when in the first place the new creators wanted to make a whole new universe, but got pushed to include the mane6 in some way or another. Its even sad actually.


"let's talk about how she made the crystals"
Nerf gun add comes on
Me: Well that makes sense.

it's nerf or nothing, and she didn't pick nerf 😔


Finally something that makes sense to me of what happened to Twilight she made a sacrifice


Twilight always sacrifices everything for everyone :(


So basically, Twilight Used about almost all of here magic to save all of equestrian from loosing magic, Tho she probably knew that the next time the artifacts were brought back together, There would be a new alicorn, and tho twilight probably didn’t drain ALL of her alicorn magic, but also probably gifted Sunny the horn and the wings of the alicorn, So twilight MAY have been taking celestias place, and all of that :snap: that’s my theory.


If this was correct then I think twilight created the crystals because she knew if friendship would fall then she made then one pony who believed in friendship still would try to get the tribes together then that pony would realize it’s not the crystals it’s the tribes to bring back power


Based off what we've seen in the past generation it wouldn't be uncommon for this to happen remember the pillars they sacrificed themselves to lock away a great darkness something similar could have happened so called the crisis. I believe what they says is true but my interest now is the crisis what could have caused her to devote herself to release her magic into artifacts. Could been the ripple between the tribes or something darker.


I think twilight made the crystals to bring the peagasai and unicorns and land ponies apart and hope to make a new ruler that understood friendship is power and so when sunny understood how to get them together she became the new ruler


I have heard because Queen Chrysalis was spreading rumors about the other pony's that they all split up and twilight was in hiding because she failed and is punishing herself for it


Or twilight made them because she wanted the pony to have magic only if they were happy and living together. <br>But at the sacrifice she didn't make it because there was an explosion the other time she survived because of her magic

Or twilight made them because she wanted the pony to have magic only if they were happy and living together.
But at the sacrifice she didn't make it because there was an explosion the other time she survived because of her magic


Now you need to ask what happened to Flurry and Cadence?


I actually came to a similar conclusion after I watched the movie! Though my theory focused on what caused Twilight to give up her alicorn magic.

 I theorized that at some point after the season finale, maybe centuries after the rest of the mane six died of old age, the spell keeping Cozy Glow, Tirek, and Chrysalis trapped in stone would wear off. This time, they decided to drain the magic from Equestria the way Cozy had to weaken every pony and creature. With armies from the various creatures Twilight had allied, she and the other alicorns were able to stop the trio again, but before they released the magic back into Equestria, Twilight decided to contain it all.

 She knew Tirek could come back and do this all over again, so she contained the magic of Equestria in these three gems-powered by friendship- so that even if Tirek came back, he wouldn't be able to drain magic from ponies. Technically, the magic didn't come from them anymore, it came from the gems. In order to pull this off, she and all the other alicorns would have had to sacrifice their magic.

 In my theory, Equestria would continue to be ruled by Twilight's chosen successor, and theirs after that, and so on and so forth. Without alicorns to keep ponies united, they slowly began to drift apart over the years to follow. Eventually conflict would rise, resulting in the gems no longer providing magic to the ponies of Equestria. This loss sent pony kind spiralling into war, the return of the Windigos, and eventually an assault on Canterlot where the gems were being held as each pony tribe tried to steal them to bring magic back for themselves.

 Each tribe ended up with their piece of the gems, and pegasi took over Canterlot, forcing out the other tribes who left to live amongst their own kind. The Windigos disappeared with the lack of conflict, and the rest is history as the movie tells us.

@Ayana_gacha In every Kid show like say Mlp, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Adventure Time, And The Last Airbender
There will always, Always be a dark underbelly wether they be an ongoing storypoint or a throwaway line.t

There's atleast one or two episodes that feature dark and morbid scenes like Murder, Death, Extinction or depression, loss, grief and other crap so-

@Ayana_gacha Military men have grown attached to these characters. They learn and grow, they have distinct and consistent personalities, and they go on adventures and experiment with life. They have dreams and aspirations, and work towards those goals. It's hard not to get attached. So when it ends... it hurts.

Ok but isn’t my little pony and g 5 for kids y it so sad

I could be wrong, but I believe Zephyr Heights was a location in FiM, and was NOT the same as Canterlot... and the pegasi in G5 reside at Zephyr Heights.

You might be right because in the new mlp comics, at the last page on one of them, you can see chrysalis breaking from stone


I guess it's true but pretty heart breaking the next movie/episode will maybe tell...


i think your right  about twilight " unbeacoming"  a alicorn and making the cystles


I don't think Twilight become a earth pony  because earth ponies have magic  in their bodies, unlike unicorn and pesgi who have wings and horns, and since twilight give up all of her magic it might have just cause her to fade into air


seriously such a good theory!! ugh i'm crying now


My guess is that if the artifacts were created by a complete seperation of her Alicorn traits she almost definitely would of Lost her original unicorn magic as well which makes me think what if it wasn't only to preserve magic but to preserve her own existence (because if she didn't the crisis would of eliminated her aswell) in an attempt to fight it by putting herself into an artifact which is far more reliable then normal magic she would effectively be a metaphysical existence that is protected from whatever the unknown crisis was (and maybe even be using that time as the artifact to gather knowledge and figure out a true solution to the problem and using the artifacts potentially return to the material plain albhiet only long enough to give the instructions or prepare the solution before being truly gone forever)

@Eclipse <br>That’s not fan made, it’s in the credits

@Eclipse
That’s not fan made, it’s in the credits

@Katie Connor and golden hooves (at least in the fan made(?) earth pony one

Definitely, notice how the images depict golden horns and golden wings?


You know I just thought of something :

If the main six are gone inside of Equestria what about the main six in the human world.


Who else started crying when he said that that’s why twilight isn’t around and that twilight gave up her alicorn


“It’s time we talk about how she made the crystals”
  gets and ad for Mountain Dew

“It’s time we talk about how she made the crystals”
  *gets and ad for Mountain Dew*


The other confusing thing is where are Cadence, Flurry Heart, Celestia, and Luna?


To quote a long known phrase: "Twilight Sparkle will not outlive her friends".

If this is what happened, this statement is still quite possible


What if it was for to bring her friends back from the dead and they all died in time but also sucking the magic with it


5:05 it was so intense it made me scared-


There are a ton more reasons that this theory could be real!!! When tirek attacked twilight gave up her alicorn magic but still lived. then als o the origanal,, original six (star swirl the bearded group) took their own magic and made the elements so it is possible that twilight could infuse the stones. but the only thing is when all the other ponies lost their magic to tirek they coud not move but the mane six could. i think twiight may have died since she gave up her magic including the earth pony side of her making her immobile and weak. she also had to innfuse the stones during the whole process making it even more tolling on her. so there is a possibility twilight died....

i was reading through the comments when i saw something that caught my eye. what hapened to the other species? i kinda feel like a war happened between the species. I believe it was a war over land. as soon as they became aware of one another they started to fight over land. and since there was no mention of all the old places in equestria i believe that twiligt seperated the ponies and transported them to somewhere new.  know this is far fetched but it could be true.

another thing to support that twilight died is that if she survived the so-called crisis wouldnt she had taken her magic back? to continue to keep the balance of the world? i believe she would have. thats why i believe she passed away.


Your Theory about Twilight making the three crystals int this video is correct, we just recieved a trailer from Netflix and it shows Twilight is standing behind the crystals.


I agree with you for the most part, but where we diverge is that Twilight didn't just create the crystals with her magic .. I think she BECAME the crystals

Because for as old as she was at that point, I don't think she had much "natural life" at that point

To give up her own being for the safety of those she cared about, only to be forgotten amongst fear


Am I the only one who just, CAN'T with all the plot holes here?

At this point, I just wanna make a rational Fanfiction of Twilight's reign before it all got messed up.

Because I believe, the Alicorn's wouldn't have fallen IF no one has died yet.

What happened to the Crystal Empire? Did Candice take a huge blow due to Shining Armor's Death? The same would've been said to Flurry heart, the death of a father is certainly not easy to accept.

And think about twilight, her parents, brother, friends have passed on and left her alone.

Surely such a toll could have been the cause of chaos that we've seen in Gen 5


Remember when Discord was a thing? Where did HE go in all this? He can literally bend reality to his will

He wouldn't ever let this happen since it would upset fluttershy

He's immortal too so how is he not even around for G5?

A recent leak for an upcoming comic says he's out there. Clues were left behind.


I think twilight is the crystals because she has more magic than any pony in equestria . She has three tribes magic  so thats why i think she is the crystals because her magic is so strong its almost like every ponys magic.<br>Love ya vids💕💖

Somehow After Sunny Manage to gain Astral Wings and Functional and Fictional Horns after she puts the crystals back to pieces making her an artificial alicorn? we’re if you said she sealed her magic in one of those crystals each with magic of an alicorns abilities at the same pony kinds

I GUESS YOUR RIGHT

*I GUESS YOUR RIGHT*


This has to be one of your most beautiful theories ever, and the most beautiful I’ve ever heard!


was it like in the future? sounds pretty cool wish I could time travel


I agree I think twilight gave up her magic for the crystal


What if she use like half of her magic you know she didn’t have to use all of her magic you know yeah she could’ve lost magic but that doesn’t mean she’s completely lost


I think the mane 6 created the crystals
Only alicorn magic isn’t enough
The magic between the mane 6 is strong enough I think


I mean, the new generation doesn’t talk about the crystal ponies. Like did they just blend in with the earth ponies? Are they going to come into the new season? So many questions


what if twilight is on the mountain surrounded by clouds hiding from the rest, since she needed them to find back to there friendship on there own, since the issue was to great for anyone to be like: because i say so u should get along, they needed to find together naturally to make it last and is observing in silence. waiting for the crystals to be activated. ? But ye i can see you're theory happen to tho, i also wonder what happened to spike.


I still think Twilight Sparkle is more powerful, but i don;t like the new mlp mainly because i hurts me as i loved twilight a lot so in my imagination i think that twilight is the most powerful magic user in all of equastria and she is still ruling.


I have to disagree. I feel like twilight and the other leaders are like real leaders like a higher up area. whyd she split the gems? im not too sure but she wouldent let anyone lose magic as we see in the episode. i think most likely a war amongst ponies and unicorns started one that nobody could stop so twilight and others used powers to split them apart until THEY learn why they are friends. however i dont think ponies can properly die here- it would take years and years for them to die. Also also wouldent ponies like cozy heart be important to the story? They arent ever seen. theres too many holes to the theory


There’s a gravestone with wings in the mural near Twilight’s cutie mark 😭 I’m considering this theory canon


When I heard about a new generation of mlp, I didn’t want anything to do with it as I grew up with gen 4 and loved it so so much. However, I decided to watch the movie a few days ago and I actually kind of loved it. Mainly because it was linked to gen 4 and had hints of them in the movie. Still, nothing will ever be as good as gen 4


This would also explain why was Twilight an earth pony on the early concept arts about the Gen5 ponies which had been leaked in 2017-18.


I LOVE YOUR VID It’s a bit sad tho knowing how she died :(


I would have thought twilight would have just vanished  bc by giving up her unicorn magic she would have lost her horn and she would have lost her wings by the Pegasus magic but an earth ponies magic is their physical form so she wouldn't have anything left


i think you''re right because sunny became the alicorn from twighlits magic i think thats why she became the alicron sunny took over all her magic!!


but why did twilight create the crystals when she can make a seed just like the pillars plant the seed that make the tree of harmony and the elements of harmony?


lemme put this all together.
basically.
there was some huge crisis whefre magic was being drained.
and twilight made a sacrifice to give up her alicorn magic in order to make the crystals.
so,thats what happened.
that reminds me of when the pincesses gave thier magic to twilight.
but i have a question,what happened to the mane 5..?


i mean this makes sense cause around the end of the movie the earth pony (forgotten her name) became an alicorn so this has to have a connection


Hey, wasn't there a video where you theorized why the magic went away in the first place? I can't find that video, did it get taken down?


Do you think the separation of the tribes and loss of magic, has caused the ponies to only have cutie marks only appear on half their flank.
Because when Tirek was draining equestria of magic, the ponies lost their cutie marks. but in new generations they have it on one side.
I think magic hadn't entirely left the ponies yet. Izzy could see other ponies sparkle, which I think is suppose to be auras. And even the pegusi can longer fly, Zipp seemed to still be able to get a little bit of air when jumping around the cliffs.


Argyle or sunny’s father may be a descendant of Twilight’s family. Like maybe luster dawn’s grandson as sunny has like all the qualities of luster her pink hair, her skin etc. maybe argyle could’ve also been grandson of twilight herself! Or, since they didn’t reveal who sunny’s mom really was, it could’ve been that flurry heart was the wife of Argyle?


What if grogar did come back and that why she made the crystals?? We've only seen the bell take magic directly from ponies or creatures and not from anything else! She could have made thr crystals to make his goal of taking all the magic harder to reach to where he gave up in frustration


She put some of her different emotions in others to saying do you know the evil unicorn exercise
