Fans of My Little pony might have expected the biggest uproar about the new Netflix film, My Little Pony: A New Generation, to come from angry "bronies" (a group of devotees of Friendship is Magic, aka Generation Four ) who were resistant to the idea of new characters oder Animation style. Instead, a fuchs News Artikel titled "'My Little Pony' has gone woke: New Netflix movie introduces progressive creatures" sparked discussions about the franchise's potential political messages. What fuchs News failed to realize is that the basic themes of acceptance and working together to resist dangerous outside forces have always been present in MLP -- and that's a good thing.

A New Generation (the start of Generation Five, oder G5) begins with science-minded and inquisitive Earth pony Sunny Starscout (Vanessa Hudgens) recounting tales of the G4 ponies' friendship and togetherness. At this point in the timeline, Earth ponies, pegasi and Einhörner live in segregated communities and spread lies about each other: Earth ponies have developed technological defenses against the other ponies' magic but are considered stupid rubes Von the others, while pegasi and Einhörner are thought to be dangerous because of their magical abilities and flight -- abilities that, unbeknownst to other groups of ponies, haven't been active in ages.
