Mlp alternate timeline theory
I have a crazy theory that the show split into three different timelines. 
Tumblr media
First timeline: 
The main timeline, which ended at the seventh season. Some more things happened afterwards of course, but we don't know about it…
Second timeline: 
Basically the g4 movie and everything that came after it take place in a slightly different timeline from the main one. So the movie, season 8 and 9, and the season 10 comics are in a different universe. 
My evidence for this being many things, including but not limited to:
The throne room being redesigned with no in-universe explanation 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Certain characters being completely retconned (Discord, Cranky Doodle Donkey, Garble, Ahuizotl) or written to act like their pre-season 4 selves. 
The entire plot line of the season 10 comics, with the multiple Trees of Harmony and all that junk.
Many strange out of character moments, like Twilight and Celestia being 100% ok with throwing Cozy Glow in Tartarus, and then turning her into stone. Their pre-season 8 selves would never do that.
Third timeline: 
Split off from the second timeline, starting at the g5 movie. Everything g5 related takes place in a different universe. 
I don't have to explain the evidence for this one, it's pretty obvious.
I only created this theory so I could justify not viewing season 8, 9, 10 comics, and all of g5 as canon XD

Am I the only one wondering where the other g4 dragons where in g5? Spike was there, but no Ember, Smolder, Garble, Torch, Fume, Clump, Billy, Maar, Cinders, Barry... etc etc. Where are they? Did they die?!
They were probably in... bed, or... something.
I can believe the older ones like Torch are dead, but the younger ones...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They were sleeping... I guess. And they didn't wake up. They were on vacation. They had a dentist appointment, idk.
The real reason is because the cgi show can't afford more than one base model for the dragons. That's why they all look the same, except for Spike who looks slightly different.
G4 reused dragon models sometimes too, but these were for the older ones to fill up space in the background, or for one story, etc. These dragons don't have names, and aren't important.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The G5 dragons do have names, and are actually important. But the cgi show can't afford more than one terrible model.

They tried (slightly) in the YouTube Kids show:

I really think G5 should've been a PREQUEL to G4, instead of a sequel. It could've been about the pillars, or Celestia and Luna as kids, or the founders of Equestria, etc.
That's actually a really great idea. G5 being in the same universe as G4 was most likely a last minute decision made by Hasbro in order to get G4 fans to care about G5, which would explain a few things.
But if they really wanted to do that, why not make it a prequel that doesn't completely destroy the established world, and make everything blander by having it take place in a modern society with smartphones and social media? Lol
The prequel G5 could've shown any number of things:
The founders of Equestria bringing the three pony kinds together and creating Equestria. 
Tumblr media
The Pillars of Equestria, who were brought together by Stygian to defeat the Sirens. It could've focused on their adventures. 
Tumblr media
Celestia and Luna as kids. It could've shown their backstory and how they became separated from the other alicorns. Starswirl finds them and takes them in, training them to be the rulers of Equestria. 
Tumblr media
Luna's descent into Nightmare Moon over the course of the show.
Tumblr media
The backstory behind Alicorns and where they came from. BTW, they gave away where Alicorns come from in a THROWAWAY LINE in G5.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They could've adapted some of the Fiendship is Magic issues that showed how certain villains came to be (Tirek, Chrysalis, Sombra). Some other villain backstories too, how they rose to power, and their defeats.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Princess Cadence and Spike's origins. Their parents, how they became separated from them, and them being found and brought to Equestria. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I could go on, honestly. But you get the point.
Hasbro doesn't actually own all of the rights to G4, they share it with Discovery Family. So whenever G5 shows or talks about something from G4, Hasbro has to pay royalties to Discovery Family…
So instead of having the prequel G5 be exclusively on a streaming service, or YouTube Kids, they could've just… made the show on Discovery Family, the same as G4. That way they don't have to pay extra money for no reason…
Whatever 😅 I'll stop b**ching

Years after FIM has ended, and it just occurred to me that Applejack is the only one out of the main cast that hadn't achieved anything significant! Weird.
Hey... that's right. Even Spike achieved more than her. Babs Seed achieved more than her. SNIPS AND SNAILS achieved more than her 🤣
Twilight Sparkle: Becomes ruler of Equestria
Spike: Becomes royal advisor/ambassador
Tumblr media
Rainbow Dash: Becomes a Wonderbolt
Tumblr media
Rarity: Opens another boutique in Manehattan
Tumblr media
Fluttershy: Creates her animal sanctuary
Tumblr media
Pinkie Pie: Helps Cheese Sandwich run his factory
Tumblr media
Even some of the supporting characters:
Big Mac: Marries Sugerbell
Tumblr media
CMC: Earned their cutie marks and created their camp
Tumblr media
Babs Seed: Earned her cutie mark and becomes a hair stylist
Tumblr media
Lyra and Bon Bon: They get married
Derby: Becomes a chef
Tumblr media
Snips and Snails: Snails becomes an athlete and Snips is his manager
Tumblr media
I guess Applejack... still runs her farm. Cool 😂
I guess she got together with Rainbow Dash in the end also. That too.

A younger Scorpan and Star Swirl.
Tumblr media
Headcanons about Scorpan:
Scorpan was Star Swirl's first real friend!
Despite being bigger than them (and most ponies) Scorpan is younger than the Pillars.
After Tirek's imprisonment, Scorpan had returned home to tell his parents the news. But after that, he had returned to Equestria. By the time Scorpan came back, Stygian had already brought the Pillars together to defeat the Sirens, so Scorpan wasn't around for that. Scorpan reunited with Star Swirl and became friends with the other Pillars.
Scorpan helped the Pillars create the seed that would become the Tree of Harmony, but asked Star Swirl not to record his involvement (for unknown reasons).
After the Pillars sacrificed themselves to defeat the Pony of Shadows, Scorpan returned to his homeland once again.
Scorpan had found Spike's egg by itself in the middle of nowhere, and decided to take it with him. Scorpan decided to give it to Star Swirl, who gave it to Celestia and Luna. This is a reference to Generation 1 obviously.
The same way the Mane 6 got their elements from the Pillars, Spike got his element from Scorpan.
Scorpan's friendship with Stygian is similar to Spike's friendship with Starlight Glimmer.
Years after the Tree of Harmony grew, Scorpan returned to Equestria to take a branch from the Tree, and created the Staff of Sacanas.

Burnferno being Spike's dad would've been a much cooler idea. What was the point of Father's Knows Beast?
To troll the audience.
Nah, I'm joking 😂
But it was still stupid. Cause up to that point, they had actually been doing something with Spike's character
Becoming friends with Ember and establishing friendly relations between ponies and dragons
Tumblr media
Helping Thorax make friends with ponies, which would eventually cause him to overthrow Chrysalis and free the other Changelings
Tumblr media
Learning that he can be called on Cutie Map missions
Tumblr media
Introducing Ember and Thorax to each other creating more peace between creatures
Tumblr media
Gaining wings
Tumblr media
Spike meeting his real parent(s) would've been a good addition to his character arc, so for the life of me I don't understand how they came up with the plot to that episode. Maybe they were afraid of changing the status quo, but that excuse doesn't work because the show has been changing the status quo in much more major ways since season 2.
Fun fact: The same person who wrote Molt Down (where Spike got his wings) also wrote Father Knows Beast.
So the same person who wrote a major development in Spike's character, also wrote, IN THE SAME SEASON, an episode where they teased a major development in Spike's character, only for it to be a big fat waste of time...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don't get it. Also, didn't the writer think that it would piss people off? Because since the beginning of the show the mystery of where Spike came from has been something many people have been wanting to know. So you tease the audience with something they've been wanting to know for YEARS, only to reveal the entire thing was a lie and a big fat waste of time? I bet they got a lot of angry emails after that episode released...
But on a positive side, at least Sludge isn't Spike's father. Spike deserves a better father...

I believe that Burnferno is Spike's biological father. My reasons:
It's a common thing in this show for "fictional" characters to end up being real (Daring Do characters, the Pony of Shadows, Grogar, Gusty the Great).
Burnferno and Spike share physical similarities (which a kid points out), and are both known for "snappy comebacks".
Spike used to have fantasies of being a hero, so it would be thematically fitting for his father to be the hero from the book he grew up reading.
Idk if this was intentional or not (probably not, since that would be giving those season 8 writers WAY too much credit) but in Father Knows Beast Spike is once again seen shown reading the book Burnferno: Warrior Within, which hasn't been shown since it first appeared in Flurry of Emotions.

On the topic on season 8 of mlp, I had a problem with the inconsistent way dragons were portrayed in season 8. It really confused me, since there were a lot of conflicting stuff being said by Smolder about how dragons treat their kids.
Oh, yeah! Right on! You're so right.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the Molt Down Smolder told Spike that during the molt, dragon parents abandon their kids to fend for themselves against giant predators:
Spike: No-no-no-no-no. The last time I grew up, I turned into a giant greedy monster.
Smolder: Greed-induced bigness. That's totally different. The molt is completely normal. Every dragon goes through it. Pretty soon, you'll leave and strike out on your own.
Spike: Why would I do that?
Smolder: Have you been living with ponies your whole life?
Spike: Uh-huh.
Smolder: Oh. Well, in the Dragon Lands, a molter's loved ones kicks them out at the first stone scale.
Spike: What? Why?
Smolder: I think it's biological. We call it the "molt effect". I haven't even told you about the smell.
Spike: So no creature's gonna wanna be around me?
Smolder: Oh, I didn't say that. That molt stench is a magnet for predators. Tatzlwurms, hydras, rocs...
Spike: Dragons are scared of rocks?
Smolder: R-O-C-S. Rocs? Humongous birds of prey that can snack on a molting dragon like candy!
Spike: So Twilight's kicking me out, and the only creatures who don't find me disgusting want to eat me?
But in Father Knows Beast, Smolder tells Spike that dragon parents take time to teach their kids how to fly after they sprout wings:
Spike: Wow! Thank you so much! How did you know I just needed to bend my wings?
Smolder: Honestly, this is Dragon 101. Usually dragon parents teach this stuff.
So Dragon parents kick their kids out and don't care if their children are killed during puberty, but if they somehow survive through puberty then they take their kids back in just to teach them how to fly? Or was Smolder just lying to Spike?
Tumblr media
In Father Knows Beast after Spike tells Smolder about Sludge:
Smolder: So, Sludge just lays around while you wait on him claw and tail? Uh, dragons are rude and rebellious, but they aren't lazy lumps who take advantage of their kids.
Spike: Huh. Now I'm really confused.
Tumblr media
Then when Sludge reveals he lied about being Spike's dad in order to live in the Castle, Smolder berates him for it:
Sludge: Stop! I'm not your father!
Spike: What?
Sludge: I just said that to get in on this sweet castle life.
Spike: So... you... pretended to be my dad?
Sludge: Now-now-now-now-now, don't look at me like that, kid. I did what any dragon would do.
Smolder: No. You didn't.
Sludge: Hey. I saw an opportunity, and I took it. That's what dragons do.
Smolder: No. It isn't.
Tumblr media
But in a previous episode, Smolder tells the Feast of Fire story that won the dragon contest, the story about Scales overthrowing the nice Dragon Lord:
Smolder: [narrating] Scales sat with the Dragon Lord's family and friends and had the biggest, best dinner of gemstones she'd ever eaten! Then, while the dragons were telling stories, Scales thought it would be so easy to seize power from this feeble and sensitive Dragon Lord. She saw her chance... and took it! [flames bursting]
Smolder: [narrating] She claimed the Bloodstone Scepter and took over the Dragon Lands! [as Scales, evil laughter] And forced the Dragon Lord to live out in the cold, just as she used to!
Ocellus: That's a horrible story!
Smolder: Maybe to you. But dragons like hearing about weak, kind creatures getting defeated.
Tumblr media
Dragons are known to be opportunists and they enjoy stories of kind creatures getting betrayed and used, but Smolder tried to make a point to Sludge that it was definitely something dragons did not do...
Yeah, that's a bit confusing. 
It reminds me of the way Garble's character was retconned in Sweet and Smoky by Smolder's mere existence. 
Tumblr media
This analysis is making me realize that Smolder's character only exists just to retcon/contradict everything we know about dragons. Spike is better off learning about dragons from Ember. I don't hate Smolder as a character, I just hate her role in certain stories, specifically involving Spike and dragons.
Sidenote: Torch and the ancient Dragon Lord are the nicest adult dragons we've seen in the show. Even after Ember disobeyed him, Torch congratulated her, and admitted he was wrong in front of the other dragons.

And the way awhuizotl and garble were redeemed in season 9 didn't make any sense at all, since it contradicts things from the previous seasons
Oh yeah, that too. Just more to add to the pile, haha 😄 
I don't hate the idea of Garble being reformed, I just hate the execution. It was weird… I actually really like the idea of Garble and Spike being friends again :)
They said that he acted like a delinquent so he wouldn't get bullied by his friends, and he was peer pressured into it. You can say that about teenagers in real life.
I think it was supposed to be a contrast to Spike's character, because in Dragon Quest Spike almost succumbed to the same peer pressure but decided to be better, because of the positive influence his pony friends had on him.
The implication being that Garble succumbed to peer pressure because unlike Spike, he didn't have any positive influences at all, whether it be family, friends, etc.
But he has a really good relationship with Smolder, who never judged him or treated him harshly for being soft. So Smolder's existence as his supportive sibling doesn't make any sense when you think of the way he's acted the entire show.
Tumblr media
I think a better idea for Garble's redemption is that it could've been a Cutie Map mission. Fluttershy and Spike could've been called to the Dragon Lands to solve a friendship problem that involved Garble. Not only because Spike and Fluttershy were the two main characters involved in that episode, but because it makes sense for it to be them.
Spike because he has more of a personal relationship with Garble than any of the others. Also Garble is technically the first dragon friend Spike ever made (until they fought), so wouldn't it be a fitting bookend for Spike to help turn Garble around and the two can be proper friends again?
Tumblr media
Fluttershy because before she hated dragons (specifically older ones), but she learned to not be afraid of them. Garble hated ponies, so Fluttershy would've been a perfect 2nd choice to help redeem him.
Tumblr media
I'm just throwing out ideas lol
The Ahuizotl one made less sense to me, because again they retconned what we've seen of the character in order to make him a misunderstood character. They said that Ahuizotl was protecting the artifacts of his forest from being stolen from Daring Do and Dr. Caballeron.
Tumblr media
I actually like the idea of Daring Do taking the artifacts to be put in a museum being seen as bad by the jungle inhabitants, and I like the idea of Ahuizotl having more to him. But retconning Ahuizotl's character doesn't make much sense. 
In one episode, Ahuizotl tried to use the artifacts to cause a heatwave in the jungle for eight hundred years. Seems pretty evil. Maybe because he was created to make sure the artifacts stay in their place and do their intended job, he didn't see a problem with it? Idk.
Tumblr media
Maybe they could've said that Ahuizotl was preprogrammed to act in this way? Idk
