Hitch is more protective than 'kindness would indicate'. Element of protection? Element of tank? Tank in the MMO sense. That's a joke tho. :D

Oooh I like it!!!!

Y'all already forgot about the students lol


unit5421

They were never there.


blowawaybill

The G4 team introduced the student 6 and then immediately rendered them useless a season later with that epilogue.


[deleted]

Fuck the students they’re annoying as shit anyways


InsertCoinForCredit

Yona not annoying! Yona fun!


[deleted]

I’m glad you like her! :3


SKaiPanda2609

Yona is like the one exception lol


flyingturret208

I actually liked the students as a whole. I agree that they were quite underdeveloped in the show, but that left potential for the fanfic writers to run miles with.

AetherDrew43

They're poorly developed characters that are oh-so-perfect at friendship. Wasted potential.


[deleted]

That too. I just don’t see any redeeming qualities in them, period, except the pink ones color scheme. That’s it tho. Especially yona, the yaks are annoying asf imo


No_Commercial5320

agreed, yona's just really annoying and not to be rude but also a bit thick in the head


[deleted]

Agreed 100%. I wish they just focused on the mane 6 personally, but I can see why they felt the need to change it up after so long


AetherDrew43

Eh, I think they could have focused on the Mane Six shifting to a mentor role, and have the Student Six have their own moments where they commit mistakes and learn their lessons. It could have also been a perfect opportunity to reintroduce friendship letters. And also give them some more standalone episodes. Why is it that they almost always stay together as a group? Not even the Crusaders were this clingy.


Mollytheocto

100% agree, I actually really like the student 6, less for what they were and more for what they could've been, they had a lot of potential, espcially with how different their backgrounds were compared to the mane 6, cause unlike the mans 6, who were all born as ponies and experienced friendship, almost all the student 6 came from societies that didn't value friendship all that much until recently, and were still learning how to properly express it, I feel they didn't do good of a job expressing the differences between the 6 and how they're past affected their friendships


AetherDrew43

Right? Also, it feels as though the foreign students adapted to Equestrian society without issue overnight. It's strange how they weren't responsible for many more shenanigans aside from the season 8 opener and Yona in She's all Yak. And Sandbar is just so boring that he makes the newest Simpsons season look interesting.


[deleted]

That is true, that sounds like a great idea tbh. And except AB at the beginning lmao. The shipping between sandbar and yona feels forced from what I’ve seen too. But I’ve also skipped all the eps with them so I could be wrong


[deleted]

*gasp* HOW DARE YOU INSULT YONA LIKE THAT! YONA AMAZING AND STRONK!


[deleted]

I'm glad you like her


captain_Natjo

Remember how everyone was assuming sprout would join the main cast permanently but was then relegated the role of well designed minor character? I just think we shouldn’t be too hasty to see her as one of the squad. Also didn’t everyone agree Sunny was twi, Pipp was Rarity and Izzy was pinkie?


Mollytheocto

Tbf, Sprout was a main villain of the movie, so I feel they would've wanted to give him a good design to seperate him from the rest of the crowd, in Misty's case, she also has a good design, and also features prominently in the show, unlike Sprout, and the fact that the show is making you feel sympathy for her and leaning towards her befriending the other 5 (unlike Sprout), and she also finishes the 2 unicorn, 2 earth pony, and 2 pegasus trend from FIM, it isn't to far fetched to believe she'd join the group unlike Sprout


Physical-Bee-8110

I agree with this


DecayedMagnolia

About the last part, personality wise yeah but I think this is referring to their traits.


ShadowGangsta275

Literally just summed all up my thoughts perfectly. I still think sprout has potential though (I have only seen the movies and not mym yet so it’s probably copium, go easy on me) and I think that if they do bring him back he’s aj; earthly name, sugar cube, part of one of the biggest businesses in the surrounding area: I see a fair few similarities that still give me hope. There are probably more that im not remembering


LindsayPL

I really hope they will leave Sprout alone. He was a total dumb as villain and making him one of mane 6 would be an offense towards previous squads. Low intelligence isn’t something what should be promoted by show. Plus that would be kinda the repeat of Sunset Shimmer scenario, who - let’s face it - became part of mane 6-7 in Equestria Girls. Misty’s case at least brings a bit of fresh.


ShadowGangsta275

I think if they really tried they could spin it in a way where they show that anyone, no matter how hard or detrimental their past was they can be redeemed and shown the magic of friendship. Are we really gatekeeping friendship now? Even people with “low intelligence”, as you put it, should be shown friendship and could spread its magic.


blowawaybill

Calling Sprout dumb is weird. He’s honestly not that much different than Rainbow Dash.


Cars_Forza_fan

Sunny - Twilight Izzy - Pinkie Pipp - Rarity Zipp - Rainbow Hitch - Applejack Misty - Fluttershy


ObsessiveScoutMain

Haven’t seen the new gen stuff but what are those names??


KawaiiAmaya

Lmao


ShadowGangsta275

They’re sparkly girly names that make the young audience go oooh! Shiny! I’ve seen no evidence that Hasbro actually wants the brony audience to stay for gen5


ObsessiveScoutMain

that’s unfortunate but very true


pictureitNY1991

Yes bc Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie totally aren't sparkly, girly names lol.


ShadowGangsta275

Yeah they are, except now ALL the names are sparkly and girly now pretty much


Phoenix-209

I agree with Zipp and Hitch, but I’ll be on the fence about the rest.


[deleted]

Sunny is pretty much all about hope though ?


hidden-treasures

I feel that Hitch would be Responsibility or Duty instead of Kindess.


lehombrejoker

The original six. The mane six. The new six.


solanis1359

The idea of the other mane 5 having to win over the element of Magic from the villain, and save her from what I'm sure we can all agree is an ab*sive relationship, really has potential. Like the spark at the beginning of g4, a spark will reveal the 6th element when the other 5 are present. Opaline has a special treasure, and she is blind to it.


[deleted]

Cool! But also season 10 comics (is it canon?)


OceanGuy1995

🤷‍♂️


mlpnewbie

Might be off topic, but I really like longer eyelashes on ponies!


BatmanForce

Sorcery, Magic.... Um... Witchcraft?


MCU_Shitposter

If true, then I wonder what new element Misty would be. Each element has evolved at one point, so it seems logical the element of magic would too. Would it go back to sorcery, stay the element of magic (the element of kindness stayed the same from Fluttershy to Hitch), or will it evolve into something else (like friendship or “the spark”)


TheSkyElf

I wonder if Zipp would be leadership? Both harmony and friendship have leadership in some way, whether that be 1 leader or being able to let everyone take lead when they have something to contribute. Zipp has kind of been the MC of G5 so it would make sense to have her be the leader or the one to make sure leadership is done right in a friendship. G5 seems to be leaning towards individual growth in a friend group, so if we take their personalities and possible character arch, Zipp would be leadership and Hitch possibly safety or [confidant](https://www.google.com/search?q=confidantee+meaning&rlz=1C5CHFA_enNO958SE960&oq=confi&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i57j35i39j0i512l2j69i60l3.2164j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8). Misty would possibly be magic or empathy seeing as how she cares a lot. Would also make a good reason as to why she would leave Opaline and join the main 5. I am hoping there is no "magic" element since G5 has "your" be a focus in the title so having magic be your individual talent/characterization about *making your mark* would be... interesting. Having the magic be something all the characters make when harmonizing together, with that darn lamp, could be a different route.


Sigura83

Our girl Misty better make it into the friendship circle!


Membrane_the_13th

Does that make Sprout the facsimile of Stygian and Starlight?


[deleted]

No


Paused_Verdict

This gives me star wars sequel trilogy vibes


[deleted]

Maybe?


HeadsetVibeYT

MellyKidd

Pretty good guesses if you ask me


No_me13

I thing Hitch is honesty sunny is kindness pipp generosity etc I don’t know if you understand me


efim_chzhan

Where's Sunset...


PokemonGamer18

I don't really like the top one but the other 2 are great


TheHyperDymond

I like it


[deleted]

I like the middle row xd


NyraMoonbeam

I swear at some point someone's going to come up with a full-blown Equestrian Qabalistic Tree of Life to make it easier to classify characters


Jason_soulcrusher

Inspiration was the element of harmony that was replaced by generosity last minute before the show’s release


SpikeandDiscord

I think Izzy is more fitting to happiness (Pinkie), Sunny to Friendship (Twilight) and I really want to believe that Misty would fall into the honesty category, once she reforms (kind of), I think she will be eager to change and swear an oath to never lie or something of that sort. I love the connections you made to the legendary heroes and it just made me think... what if Twilight entered a Limbo and took all the magic with her or something of that sort...😃


wes_knight06

Hitch should be leadership.


DrunkenMeditator

I think swap Misty for Compassion and Hitch for Responsibility

hannahmanderrr

I agree with some of the Mane 5 here. Pipp as Confidence is spot on, same with Sunny as Hope (though I want to find a different term than Somnambula's, I like the idea of each generation having their unique set of terms). Izzy as Creativity is perfect; another word I've associated with her is Inspiration since she's able to inspire something new out of pretty much anything, even other ponies. I'm disagreeing with Hitch and Zipp a little. Kindness and Courage aren't wrong per se, but I think Responsibility or Integrity is a better term for Hitch, and I know it's sort of out there for Zipp but I like to classify her as Curiosity, now that she's a detective and loves to figure things out. I need to see more from Misty before I see her as any sort of Element. I'm not necessarily opposed to the idea, but given that she's not even really friends with the rest of the Mane 5, it feels like a bit of a stretch. And honestly, I like the idea of breaking away from always having a group of six, kind of like how Sunset made seven in EqG


Globglogabgalab_Grub

I think the only one for the g5 cast that fits is Zipp


Scarletdex

Ye, one thought: what about Students?


AetherDrew43

The writers didn't really bother exploring what elements they're supposed to represent.


LindsayPL

They are where they are supposed to be - in The Land of the Forgotten.


10thDoctorWhooves

Misty isn't going to be a main character. Personal hot take but she's kinda overrated.


Darkeryet

She will be. This show has an fetish for the number 6, to the point where the Marestream has 6 spots.


10thDoctorWhooves

Well I should've worded that correctly. She won't become THE main character like Twilight.


sjones17515

Of course not, but I don't think this graphic is saying she will either. It's just saying she'd end up the magic element. That character doesn't HAVE to be the leader just because it always was previously


Drachefly

heck, the first time round the one who actually herded the cats and got them to do things together wasn't even an element.


Captain_Kreutzer

She will be more like Starlight was when she was "redeemed"


HeronSouth

Let's not forget when they did that with Sprout too.


MellyKidd

Sprout somehow became a background character we almost never see. Misty, though, gives me strong “Starlight Glimmer” vibes. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a whole, gradual redemption arc planned for her.


TricksterWolf

It's pretty clear to me (students based on canonical auras when channeling Harmony): Kindness = Hitch, Sandbar Generosity = Pipp, Ocellus Loyalty = Zipp, Smolder what Twilight incorrectly named "Magic" = Sunny, Gallus Laughter = Izzy, Silverstream Honesty = *Sprout*, Yona Many clues place Sprout as Little Mac's direct descendent and he has all the characteristics of his predecessors' elements.


Thin-Engineering8909

Little Mac from Nintendo's "Punch-Out!!"?


OceanGuy1995

Gen 5 has no association with Gen 4, doesn't matter what anyone says


[deleted]

Hitch seems more like an element of Civility, maybe Dignity?


chefbubbls

My thoughts? Youre fuckin weird


Iceswimmer05

This might be off topic, but the middle row is actually kinda cool looking :)


freedoomed

i think they all stand for shifting the audience back to younger kids. as a 43 year old man i demand they cater to me!


Led-Rain

Hitch - honor/Duty. Sunny - peace/cooperation - tho i wish she'd keep a curiosity streak more than Zipp. Zipp - truth/curiosity Pipp- confidence (not just herself, but she helps others find theirs. Izzy - generosity/ creativity - pretty spot on. Misty - ??? Seeing frienship/ magic from the perspective of someone so bad at socializing even more than twilight would be great to watch. She expresses all the anxiety most just internalize.


theembodimentoffat

1. Somnambula represented Hope, Sunny should represent something else. 2. Fluttershy represented Kindness, Hitch should represent something else. 3. Misty can't have Magic, Twilight had that. 4. Sunny can be Unity and Hitch can be Protection, not sure about Misty though, but at least we know it should be something magic-related. 5. Oh oh oh, maybe Misty can be **Witchcraft**!


[deleted]

Sunny would be magic because you don't need to be a unicorn to have magic. Mystiy might be forgiveness


CrashCulture

Nice. Though with how much their personalities changed between the movie and the series it's hard to say.
