I have never understood why G5 sets all the protagonists as orphans or single parent families, even if they don’t want to spend more money on new voiceovers. It’s not impossible to explain the situation of the parents in the episode. I feel like this setting is a bit of a hell joke for MLP😢

Only in-universe reason i can think of is maybe Sunny always had the rainbow streak and later dyed her hair and then by some reason she got it back when she got her alicorn powers?

Wow, that is… disappointing, and I didn’t even have any expectations after leaving G5 after the first season.
Do they not even have a design document for people to work on this time around?

Yeah I should have asked that too, but the thought didn’t fully form until I already posted the comment.

Yeah, this smells of retcon. Either that, or they have replaced the artists/writers and the new talent didn’t know about the rainbow highlight.
I’d say it is a retcon and I’m feeling it’s gonna that trope later on when she finds her mom, the girl is crazy or something for looking for whatever she’s trying to find

If Opaline was Sonny’s mother, it would be really more exciting and creative.I am very sad, it was an exciting theory. Misty’s father theory was implemented, but Opaline…🥺😭

@GoodVibesGorgeous
Yeah sadly… TYT is just gonna muddle the stuff because of its structure. Or lack there of. The latest episode is clear that this is an apparent retcon. Like sunny having her mane stripes when we know that is not true because she didn’t get them until after the movie. Then again TYT is being targeted at little kids so its is what it is. Personally I couldn’t stand just how overly childish it is.

MYM finished its run last year (everybody who worked there already have moved on to other things). For now, TYT is the only thing we have.

@Appel
Probably because TYT is in no real way connected to the (actual main series) MYM and as per usual they are just making shit up as they go. It’s not like there is any real connectivity in these shorts anyway. Also since its made for little kids its not like they are going to remember it after a week or so.

I checked the credits, and it says, Additional voices: Vanessa Sears as Sunny’s mom.
They did not give her a name, Jet?
It seems they wanted to confirm that Sunny’s mother has been dead for years and that Sunny was raised by her father.

Hang on, why does Sunny have rainbow highlights? She only got those after getting the alicorn magic.
