Spoiler for G5 TYT
Reminder: The new G5 MLP Tell Your Tale that came out today is one of the half-hour specials! :)
Chapter Six of G5 MLP Make Your Mark is out today (on Netflix)!
I usually spread out my viewing experience but this time I binged it as a Thanksgiving treat. I really liked it. :)
Also if you watch Tell Your Tale then please be aware some of the recent episodes have spoilers for MYM.
The packaging for the Sunny and Blaize the dragon set seems to confirm what has been rumored . . . that Hasbro will continue Tell Your Tale (the 2D animated G5 series on Youtube) but discontinue 3D Make Your Mark after its current season is done.
I'm honestly really disappointed because even when MYM has mediocre episodes, the ponies are sooo cute with their Muppet-fuzzed faces and fluffy hooves. And the episodes have been getting better with each chapter. However, from what I heard Hasbro did product testing with each show, and the kids responded better to Tell Your Tale.
I don't know how Hasbro measures that, but a lot of MLP's audience does skew young (always has . . . I got my first MLP when I was 4) and for very young kids, yeah, a five minute comedy episode is probably easier to follow without getting distracted or scared. I think Habro should still keep MYM, though, to draw in older kids, who probably don't find TYT "cool" enough.
There are also rumors that there will still be some longer specials in the future, and I'm not sure if those will be 2D or 3D.
MLP Tell You Tale "Moon Festival"
I'm wondering if this is meant to mimic the real life Chinese Moon Festival?
In this episode they mention that the every ten years the moon is at its closest to the planet. With TYT it can be difficult to tell if something is lore woven into the setting or a one-off idea.
(Like I saw a lot of people going "What does it MEAN" over the TYT episode where Sunny's dad left her clues to a mysterious rug / tapestry . . . but I don't think it had any deeper significance than the writers going "Hey, a short based on The Da Vinci Code, where they follow clues, would be fun." That's literally why it's called "The Starscout Code".)
But if this does tie into the deeper lore, that would be interesting. We have had Princess Luna referred to in Make Your Mark.
Man I hope they release a "clean" (no dialogue over it) version of Opaline's song, it's so good

We got another name confirmation . . . The blue pony in the Filly Trio is Glory! Based on G1 Glory / Baby Glory, perhaps with some influence from pearlized Baby Glory.
She has a blue coat and her breed has been changed to pegasus, but she still has a shooting star symbol, blue eyes, and a pink bow. And of course purple and blue hair.
