See.
We even know that, before Celestia and Luna, the normal Unicorns could raise and lower the sun and moon (Thank you, Hearth's Warming Eve), so it's not something that was always exclusive to those two.

The extent of their power hasn't been explored, and calling them "Gods" is just an assumption based on nothing, unless Princess Platinum was also a god, since it's assumed she could use the spell to manipulate the sun and moon, too.

Indeed. It's just that, at EQLA I had a conversation with a guy who was saying that the show would be better if Lauren was still there, and you and bronycurious have said that this is one of the weaker two parters...and these are the only episodes that Lauren herself wrote. So, I don't think it would be better. Different...possibly, but not necessarily better.

Agreed. I just hear A LOT of people say that, and from what we've seen of their powers...I just don't get that vibe from them at all.

The problem is that I view this as a weaker episode for different reasons.
I felt it tried to establish too much in the 44 allotted minutes. Much like (Quite literally every) pilot, it just didn't have enough time to say everything it wanted to, having to establish the mane 6 (Their personality, their element and character trait, and their quirks), the town, the villain, the legend, all while keeping a general tone of excitement.

Also, you have to recall of all the openers and closers, why Best Night Ever (The only non-adventure Season opener or closer) is considered to be the worst. It's not because the show doesn't do adventure plots well, it's because, in the case of the pilot vs. the others, it just didn't have the time to tell a proper story, where the Best Night Ever was just mundane compared to the others, despite keeping the show's "Slice of life" theming much better than, say, A Canterlot Wedding or Magical Mystery Cure.

but, if I recall correctly, that was also his problem was that it didn't have enough time to establish the characters.

Anyway...here's Kuuga

[Matrixbeast]

I didn't watch the full 11 minutes because I had a problem with a lot his points.

And Kuuga! Sweet! I don't have any pony Riders to share, unfortunately, since I shared the Kiva Emperor Pony a few days back.

It's quite alright.

I should draw more Kamen Rider ponies.

[Matrixbeast]

Perhaps some Wizard and Beast Ponies?
And yes, I am asking because I want to see Wizard's Dragon forms as ponies

That's...actually what my commission is...a Blind Bag Wizard Flame Style. I would be more than happy to draw him though...after all my ModRanger stuff is done of course.

I'm curious how the face will work, since Wizard, unlike many others, doesn't have a face that can just be extended.

Do what they did with Deka Master?
