*NOTE SPOILERS OF THE "OLD" SERIES*

If we want to get into the old show and things that are by the wayside:
1. The school, which promoted unity and legacy. The pony world we saw *only* had ponies. Where are all the other races that came in under Twililights banner?

2. Canterlot, the capitol. No one at any time mentioned canterlot. It was convenient that it not be there because of, you know, the castle with all the unity and historically based books and stained glass windows.

3. It seems like only two people knew anything about the Mane6, and had *no* idea about the symbol of the sisters (the 3 artifacts). This is strange because Hitoridad knew about Starswirl the Bearded (picture in their house).

4. According to lore, when there is disharmony in an area...Wendigos happen. Everything should be a land of ice and snow.

5. I think its strange the earth ponies didnt know *their* magic was gone as well. They are supposed to have enhanced strength.

Im sure if I kept thinking on it I could think of more contradictions to the old series. Yes, I know too much about this fkin franchise...but its fine. I don't feel bad...I am on a forum dedicated to a longstanding series about talking turtles from new york who know Ninjutsu...

A lot of good points. It's a little confusing that these ponies (or at least one and her father) knew of the Mane 6 but not Celestia, Luna, and others.

I don't mind that there are odd contradictions happening, but it makes me curious to maybe see them sorted out if a series does happen.


Maybe the issue between ponies (and other species?) could be purely local and it's just that part of the world that needs to relearn the magic of friendship? The home areas of the various ponies were pretty close. edit: This is why they still need that map to signal friendship problems. lol

If they're gone, I'm just assuming it was from age, given the amount of technology in this movie suggesting this is a lot farther into the future. Though it would have been nice to have Twilight still around and just a background character while this film/series focuses on another part of the world.
