Grackle and Dyre, the young granddaughters of the evil witch Hydia, have set out to destroy all of pony-dom! And even worse-their plan might be working! Friendship begins to fall apart as their lackeys Black Belle, Shadow Storm, and Violet Shiver wreak havoc in Ponyville!

Granddaughters? I always assumed what was left of the gloom clan were just Hydia, Reeka, and Draggle. With their relatives having their souls attached to the paintings and living there, possibly as ghosts. But I suppose that's just speculation. Anyways, I'm curious to see where they go with this direction. I'm going to guess Hydia is pretty old in this G1 future, at least, I'm certain its the future. Concept six aside, I don't think Reeka or Draggle will play much of a role, probably more as background characters than anything. Plus I don't see any mention of them.

Oh, and I saw in the MLP FiM wiki that the G1 Smooze may be coming back. I'm not sure if it's true or not, but if it is, I think it may be too early to be bringing it back. The Smooze appeared in the MLP: Movie (1986) and didn't return for the TV series in MLP N' Friends. I'm not saying it shouldn't or it couldn't, I just think it's too soon to bring it in for this crossover. But that's just my opinion, I'm still interested to see where they go with this.

I, of course, am glad the witches might be coming back.  I don't know if it's the witches we know and love or if they will be new or re-booted, but I'm hoping Draggle is back!

I see someone is part of the Draggle appreciation squad, right there with ya'. Anyways, that's also what I'm hoping for, even though this cover already a few alarming things I may not like. But I'm sure some people will still like it, even with its hiccups. Definitely got to agree with Taffeta's points though regarding their interpretation of G1, but I still look forward to it.

Introduction
My Username is ThermalMoon. I'm 19 (as of this writing) and male. Also, I live in Florida. I started watching My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic around 2013, dropped off later by season 6 and haven't picked it back up, yet. So I decided to reignite interest again by watching the 1st generation of MLP and going on from there, I hope to learn more about each generation of the MLP franchise and it's history from its humble beginnings to where it is now.

Hobbies & Interests
My Little Pony aside, I love sports. Mainly Baseball and Soccer. I like to stargaze at the night and view the different planets away from solar system, sometimes I even look out for constellations. I'm a gamer and love playing video games, I don't have a favorite yet but it did use to be Earthbound Beginnings. Fishing is also a side hobby that I do sometimes, it's very relaxing. I have an open mind and like philosophical thinking, I'm open to discuss a lot of things. Drawing is a passion of mine, next to video games, although I guess I'm more of a cartoonist than an artist. And finally, I write fanfiction. But thinking about it, I haven't really wrote anything yet, does it really count? :^/

Apologies for the rather short and shallow introduction, I'm still trying to expand myself as a person and get more hobbies. Even nearing my 20's, I guess I still have a lot to do. Anyways I hope I get to know everyone better in this forum, I'll probably in the older generations forum, but will slowly make my way to G4 and soon, G5. Hope to get along with everyone here.
