Given what we've seen, yes. We don't know how the world is being sustained, what the greater geopolitical situation is, how ponies other than the royal staff live...

Yeah, I'd say there's insufficient data here.

True. XD

Even so, I'd argue the mere fact of Nightmare Moon makes the Nightmare Moon timeline the best, because Nightmare Moon.

3589445 Also, NMM's timeine is the only one that makes sense to me. If the Mane six never got together in the Sombra and Chrysalis ones, how and when was she defeated? The elements were never passed on, so Discord shouldn't have gotten free, and without the events of It's About Time, Tirek... Okay, Tirek would have gotten out, but that just begs the question of how he's not the one in charge in every timeline. Don't get me started on Flim and Flam.

(I still liked the finale though)

Presumably some other bunch of unlikely heroes stepped up in other timelines. They just fell victim to the Batman Scenario: The hero needs to win every time, while the villains need to win only once.

Yeah, it's frustrating that they don't go into great depth, but at least we can.

Huh, good point.

3715982 Indeed. Still seems like a step up from the Sombra and Chrysalis timelines

3723046 Same, honestly
I mean it's not ideal
But it's still the most comparatively stable one.

3724646 Quite so.
The Discord one looks exhausting merely to exist in, honestly - especially if your house is one of the ones that are floating and upside-down.
