I assume that could be the explanation, if Hitch really isn’t meant to have any connection to Fluttershy. I feel like in his case they should explain it, though. People can look past a unique, supernatural ability in a kid’s show, but people will have questions if that unique ability pops up on another character in the sequel/reboot-sequel.
If they are so related, then that they as opposed to all their other relations means it was due to their own work and merits as opposed to bloodline.
Agreed.
It’s also unexplained how Fluttershy’s got that power despite never interacting with animals prior to her cutie mark and not being pegasus magic. Maybe Hitch didn’t get them from anyone, maybe he and Fluttershy got them due to the same external circumstances (maybe such powers are the “logical” magical consequence of such kindness they are worthy bearers of the Element).
I was looking for that image to make my point before omg, why couldn’t I find it–
And I can agree that both Hitch and Applejack are proud ponies. Their pride is similar in the sense that they’re both stubborn, independent work-a-holics. I think Hitch is more of a show-off and braggart, though.
I don’t think Fluttershy not having an ego means that Hitch can’t be her sucessor, though. Zipp is not a hothead nor does she want recognition for her skills, that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t stand-in for Rainbow Dash. Sunny never needed to learn the value of friendship, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t stand-in for Twilight. But I can understand your point that, in terms of roles, Hitch is more in line with Applejack as a dependable pony who tries to keep the group in check with rationality.
your current filter.Apparently they are (meant to be) complex enough that the traits that make them similar to X character still leave them different enough to fit Y Element instead.
This is sort of why I’m doing my own thing in my story
If he wasn’t meant to suceed Fluttershy, then they didn’t have to make him have her same ability with animals.
He’s Applejacks personality (him laking shyness invalidates being a straight version of Fluttershy) and role in the group. He just swaps out AJ’s Element and powers for Fluttershy’s. It possible to have the traits to bear the Element of X but otherwise have very different a character traits.
Don’t confuse his powers/actions with his personality/character. His role as the pillar of stability/order in this case is a better fit for AJ’s role despite using Fluttershy’s means.
Edited
Episode 5 of Make Your Mark has the most Fluttershy comparisons with Hitch yet. Kindly talking to critters, worrying over them when they get overwhelmed in the community garden, even getting a critter corner in the Brighthouse that’s either meant to go along with Fluttershy’s animal sanctuary, or all the pets she had at her cottage. It doesn’t seem to me like they’re switching gears.
Edited because: Marking spoilers, just in case
I find interesting that those were created during the time of A New Generation. Now they seem to be switching gears. And seeing how they treated him in MYM so far, he might as well be AJ’s successor. Or both
Fluttershy befriended former antagonist Discord. Seems like for similar reasons she would pick Misty, an antagonist to succeed her.
Works for me.
Eh, okay sure, I can’t argue that. Maybe Sprout is more like Starlight Glimmer and has to learn about what equality truly means.
That was in the past. The G5 IDW Comics now reveals he is based on Applejack more.
I’m not sure if I agree with this one. Fluttershy is a heroine, whereas Misty is an antagonist.
There’s a lot of promotional material that descibes Hitch as primarily kind too, tho. For example;
your current filter.
your current filter.On the ig of mlp for Sunny they have: “she stands up for her friends and loves learning what makes each one different” fitting the magic element
Zipp has: “once you get past her sarcastic exterior and get to know her, you have a loyal friend for life” well thats obvious xD
Pipp has: “she uses her public platform for good and to help her friends sparkle to their potential” with “best pal traits: charismatic, confident, generous”
Izzy has: “you’ll never be done when she’s around, she’s a true friend who will always make you smile” so being laughter
And Hitch having: “his dedication to ‘protect and serve’ means he will always keep you safe” with “best pal traits: dedicated, responsible, helpful” hinting more at Jpplejack than Fluttershy, AJ was always ready to help, was responsible and the stubbornness could be dedication :v
Even tho they didnt really show much of these traits (when was Zipp being loyal??), this would fit the most. But I think they will change the elements if we get them, something like generosity was beauty for Mistmane
And Misty drawing herself a butterfly cm? wink wink
With Sprout being in like.. what one episode? Two? Just cleaning stuff.. doesnt feel like he will be a major character :v that might change tho but doubt it
Sprout doesn’t look scared nor timid.
Wouldn’t quite make sense, if they’re going by their skills, then Hitch got that animal vibe going on. It’s been shown in; movie, episodes, mini cartoons, and the comics.
Misty gonna be new flutters
