Looking into the real life rules of a game - spoiling nothing for a chapter - in order to be basic accurate writing the game can remind you just how complex it is than on level surface!
Sometimes we need to be reminded, just because one's not the star of the show, doesn't make them unimportant. You're all valued in one way or another, whether your role be small or big, and that's okay.
I understand appealing to a new generation, but it'd be nice if the staff was able to fill in the gaps between G4 and G5 with things like this. Kids can handle it!
If I were in position similar to Stardust if he witnessed to any of this I would do everything in my power to prevent that. Like seriously where the heck are Luna, Celestia, Cadence, Flurry Heart, and other possible alicorns, why did they lead the future to be in this sad condition, despite the unknown forces? My opinion of G5 is something that makes G4 all their efforts in vain in a way, everything they work so hard to achieve only goes down to mere legends at the beginning of G5, only for a glimmer of magic of friendship through an artifact, but come on it just hurt looking at this generation.
