Only thing I will say is that I despise the link to G4, like Hasbro think MLP cannot operate without its FIM crutch any more. It would do better to write a completely new story without the baggage of the past. But originality is a dead art.I agree with you, that this premise can hold up without hard ties to FiM. Tales had no problem and did not need to cling to N Friends like a leech.I don't think it's using it as a crutch. I think it's happening because FiM still is on a lot of streaming sites. It's just a location. It's characters and plot that make up a story.

When I hear the name Hitch, all I can think of is that movie with Will Smith. Hitch as in, matchmaker. I'm sure that is not how they are intending it, but that's my immediate association when I hear it!

... Unless... they bring the magic back by the end of the movie. :/
Sunny, Zippy and Dooda
Naming the guy Hitch is quite risque. I imagine autocorrect is gonna have a field day with this name And Trailblazer is just hilarious because they probably thought this is the first male pony mainchar so we gotta name him something that really hammers it home that he's the first of his kind, a true trailblazer I'm kinda sad they didn't name him something like "Manny Brohoof".Post Merge: February 28, 2021, 02:56:59 AMQuote from: Nemesis on February 26, 2021, 03:17:06 PM... Unless... they bring the magic back by the end of the movie. :/I think they will. That's why some of these screenshots have no cutiemarks but the toys do. Cutiemarks are magic in the world of FiM and magic is a very handy plot device. I think the show will then focus on Sunny, Zippy and Dooda bringing the magic to the rest of Equestria and reuniting the ponies again.
I think I saw somewhere that they do have marks but just like the toys they are only on one side now

I'm thinking that they're just kids and also something with the magic.In the animatic, we see a CM on both sides of the parent figure during a cutie mark scene.

I don’t think if it was a plot point she would have said anything as she’s still under a NDA.I do wish there was a story reason for it, though. “Corporate cost-cutting” is the worst answer for everything.
