With all the hype for the Game of Thrones pony trailer, we completely missed something else in Animation Magazine's reveal of it. I blame the automatic reaction to skim that has been ingrained in our brains over the years. That trailer instantly snagged the eyes!
Head on down below the break for a mini analysis based on something else!
More specifically this line:
Viewers will also be introduced to new characters, a few of which will reveal the mysterious backstory of some of the main cast.
We have six ponies, two of which are an almost near mystery:
- Fluttershy - There is an episode involving the possibility of her brother making an appearance, though we only have the title.
- Rainbow Dash - We saw her dad, but outside of that, the family is a mystery. Why does she live in a mansion? Are her parents rich?
And to a lesser extent:
- Applejack - Are the parents actually dead? Or lost, with the potential for an epic journey across Equestria, deep into some mysterious jungle?! I'd watch it.
- Rarity - We've seen her parents once, but outside of that the familial dynamic is still unexplored. Sweetie Belle seems to bunk with her quite a bit.
I'm leaning toward Flutters being the major player this time. This is going to be a fun season!
Thanks to Andrew for the heads up.
