I think they were mentioning the thing about Gallus being Grover. technically, you could spin it like that, but we don’t know how many kings there were between him and Guto. for all we know, it might have been centuries from his time until the time the Arimaspi attacked.

So basically Grover stays in the past permanently in order for history to stay the same? Wouldn’t that make him his own ancestor? I’m so confused!

You are already booped.
Time travel. Gallus was Grover! They’ll do some sort of time travel adventure and he ends up staying to help drag the griffons out of the dark age or whatnot.

It most likely won’t happen, but for other reasons. That said, I’m confident these writers could pull it off if they put their minds to it. Boiling political stuff down for easy accessibility is easier than you’d think, with the only tricky part being potential extrapolations leading to varied interpretations, ie, Starlight’s “equality”.

Sadly, as cool as all of that sounds, it will probably never happen.
 
As much as I enjoy the show, and as much as the show’s writers try as much as they can to cater to, shall we say, the periphery demographic, the show is still, always was, and always will be intended for little children.
 
Now, not at all saying children’s shows should dumb things down for the little tykes. But a series of episodes heavily dealing with comprehensive and systemic economic and socio-economic restoration of a dilapidated, fallen kingdom and the resulting cultural and sociological effects such reforms would have on not only the kingdom itself but the neighboring nations might just go over the little ones heads just a tad.
 
Abd that’s IF it even manages to grab their attention.
 
Still a cool idea though. Someone should make, like, a fanfic or somethin’.

what is Thorax’s official title now?
Hasn’t he been referred to as king? I can’t for the life of me remember if that’s happened on the show or if it’s only popular fanon.
 
I’m pretty sure he was called “King Thorax” in one of the Convocation of Creatures comics, but nowhere else officially.

What of the kirin and zebras and others?
 
As in who’s in charge of them? We haven’t really seen anything of the zebras beyond Zecora herself, so there’s not much to speculate from there, but the kirin have Rain Shine.
 
Like, who’s in charge of Klugetown?
 
Klugetown’s probably reverted to whatever system it followed before the Storm King came along – i.e., it probably doesn’t have much of a government beyond whichever crime lord has more push at given moment.

Ponies may offer constitutional monarchy as a compromise but it gets rejected as keeping around monarches after they become useless, a subtle reference to fandom’s “useless Celestia” meme.
 
I think you’re thinking about a parliamentary monarchy there; constitutional monarchy only means the monarch has rules he/she has to follow, and doesn’t have absolute power. But, such as it happened here, it’s possible to have a constitution and yet the monarch still hold most of actual power.
 
As for the others, In my headcanon;
 
Separate matter, who gets to administer what parts of the Storm King’s former territory?
 
He had no territories of his own other than what he conquered/taxed; they’d revert to their former owners.
 
Like, who’s in charge of Klugetown?
 
Probably some local ruler/warlord who was subject to the Storm King.
 
what currency replaces storm bucks?
 
There wasn’t any unified currency in his domains to begin with.

Still hoping for that twist where he turns out to be a direct descendant of the last griffon king, someone who would be king if the monarchy hadn’t fallen, and there’s debate about whether to restore it or move on with a better system. Ponies may offer constitutional monarchy as a compromise but it gets rejected as keeping around monarches after they become useless, a subtle reference to fandom’s “useless Celestia” meme. This starts up discussions among the other races, like what is Thorax’s official title now? Should certain leaders be called Prince/Princess or King/Queen? What of the kirin and zebras and others? Separate matter, who gets to administer what parts of the Storm King’s former territory? Like, who’s in charge of Klugetown? What currency replaces storm bucks?

I miss the show so much
The way things are going, he’s probably going to be Griffonstone’s new king one day.
