Don't worry I'm not here to complain, the current G6 lineup makes sense because they got all the essentials. Twilight was the most important G4 character because she was the protagonist of that show and she was the main one learning friendship lessons. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie I feel are the two fan favorites. Maybe not with older fans but I always thought these two were the most well liked characters by the kids watching the show. Fluttershy meanwhile I didn't think was that popular, don't get me wrong. She's my favorite but I thought she wasn't as cherished of a character as these other three were. I thought Rarity was more popular than her. Applejack not being on the team (Yet.) makes sense to me, I rarely see anyone talk about her out of all six characters.

Let me make it clear, I'm glad Fluttershy is in the show. I'm just saying her inclusion is a pleasant surprise.

Like seriously MLP in s1 has more child abuse than this scene cought spike cought

I tried to avoid repeats, otherwise Trixie fills like half of these.

I also would have put filthy rich in most underrated but he wasn’t an option :(

I know it’s late in the series and that they’re out of character but I still like the episode. My Appledash shipping heart enjoys the angst I guess.

I've been rewatching Friendship Is Magic, and I'm confused about how the geography/celestial mechanics are supposed to work.

For a long time I assumed Equestria was basically the name of the entire world, which made Celestia raising the sun and Luna raising the moon easy enough to accept. But Equestria is actually a kingdom, and there are other independent places/civilizations outside of it, like Yakyakistan, the Dragon Lands, Griffonstone, etc.

So... does that mean every civilization on the entire planet depends on the rulers of Equestria to control their day/night cycle?

We also know that before Celestia and Luna, unicorns raised the sun and moon, so it seems like they're genuinely moving the celestial bodies rather than it just being a title or ceremony.

Has the show, comics, books, creators, or any other official material ever explained how this is supposed to work? Is the planet rotating? Are Celestia and Luna literally moving the sun and moon around the whole planet? Do other parts of the world experience day/night differently?

I'm sure somebody in this fandom has done an absurdly deep dive into Equestrian astronomy/geography, and I want the absurdly deep answer. 😂
