My Little Pony Movie News 02/27/2021 · 12:30pm Feb 27th, 2021


The cure for the common colt!

GOOD MORNING, FIMFICTION FANATICS!!! This is the Dramamaster829; Critic, Actor, Writer, Motivational Speaker and Occasional Singer keeping you up to date with the latest news for the Generation 5 movie and beyond! These past few days, news surrounding this feature film has been swirling around like wild fire...

NOOO!!! Not that 'Wildfire'! *Takes a deep breath* Okay... as far as news of the movie is concerned, there have been numerous elements about the show that has the fans talking. Folks have started expressing interest on the film's animation, while others... not so much. Fans have put together fan art over the film's announced characters despite the fact we 'barely' know anything about them. And don't get me started on all the FanFiction that's been swirling on and on throughout this website, some of them written entirely for the younger demographic and other... trying to satisfy those sexual urges they've been repeatedly denied since high school.

*Chuckles* I love this video...

*Clears throat* Anyway, in light of the subject of this morning's blog, as I prepare to pack my bags for an important family wedding, we finally learn the identity of the mystery stallion whose image has been swirling about amongst all the film news scattered about. And the name of the subject in question is none other than... 'Hitch Trailblazer'. And no I am not referring to the truck... it's literally his 'name'. So, aside from the fact we do know his name, what else have we been able to uncover about this stallion? Well, if I can be perfectly honest to my faithful fans...

Nothing, really.


What the buck?!

JUST HEAR ME OUT! JUST HEAR ME OUT!!! *Pause* As far as what I can speculate in regards to Hitch here, we are led to assume that being an Earth pony he more likely than not lives in the same town of Maretime Bay which Sunny Starscout herself resides. If it's not completely obvious from that short little video that was released involving the 'mane' cast, Sunny and Hitch seem to know each other in some degree. Even though the film indicates that the 'Magic of Friendship' is pretty much an urban legend, it's not to say that there isn't 'any' friendship amongst ponies but I like to believe they've reduced it to making friends with their 'own kind'... god, I hate the segregation thing. I mentioned before about the badge on his belt loop thing, indicating he must have an interest in law enforcement or something. Now getting a much closer look into the details, it looks like a part of this medal is in the shape of a 'horseshoe' which would indicate either good luck or just a pretty cool pony design. Either way, I have further reason to speculate that given his expressions and show-offy nature, which is the most I can assume is his personality, we can imagine that with the appearance of some guards that popped up (Even though those guards were Pegasi) he probably has dreams and aspirations of being 'The Greatest Royal Guard in All Equestria'. If Shining Armor were around during this movie, I'm sure he'd be proud of his aspirations.

In addition to Hitch's name being announced for the public's eye, rumor has it that there still remains some characters yet to be unveiled who still lack for an identity much less a name (Unless you're one of those fans who are so impatient, you'd be willing to leak such important information for fans who actually WANT wait... dummies). Now I did hear a few names pop up every now and then, such as Pipp... Zipp...

*Frown* Very funny...

In any case, until we get some official confirmation as to whether there's going to be more to the cast than we lead ourselves to believe, all we can do is sit back and hope that whichever information is eventually released during these next few months we of the MLP community are able to have all the input we need to increase whatever excitement we have in light of this movie. Though just by looking back at Hitch's portrait in this blog, it would be no surprise if I suddenly see fan videos that use Hitch as the model of an old 'Will Smith' movie trailer, a movie I might add that we've either heard about... or never took the time to watch.

Overall, as far as my opinion over Hitch Trailblazer is concerned, I want to assure to myself that I can learn to like 'any' of these characters... I really do. Because even though MLP has always been a show meant for the female demographic, let it not be said that there has never been strong male protagonists throughout the run of the show. Why if we can look back on all the popular male characters back in Gen4, there are tons of names whom have made quite an impression upon the MLP community. Big Mac, Discord, Flash Sentry, Bulk Biceps...


Ahem!!!

... Yes, even you Spike...

Whether Hitch ends up being the subject of a love interest for Sunny Starscout (Probably acting smooth and cool to hide how shy he is about his feelings for her)... or is more like that one 'brother' figure who comes out as obnoxious, but still has his heart in the right place... his character can lead to one of 'two' reactions. Either he's going to grow a fanbase that's crazy about him (Settle down ladies) or... fans are not even going to like him the moment he hits the screen. Either way, Hitch is like every character recently announced for this movie. As first impressions are 'vital' when it comes to whether this movie will be a success or not, however the story chooses to portray Hitch we can only hope it leaves us such an impression that how we're talking about him will determine whether he's a welcome addition to the community... or a missed opportunity.

But the bigger question remains: What do YOU think?

Be sure to leave a comment below at your earliest convenience.

Until then faithful readers and viewers, this is the Dramamaster829... signing off!

Thank you... and have a safe (but still fun) weekend!

He seems to be your jock character who likes to show off

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if this guy was ever a Hoofball star. And the show off part definitely reminds me of Dash from 'The Incredibles'.

Rainbow Dash: WHAT?!?!?!?!

It's not all about you, lady! *Pause* Anyways... mares always seem to go for the jocks regardless of their personality. I just hope he's still a nice guy.

Interesting, to say the least

It seems every so often we get one slice of interesting news after the other. Granted, not enough to understand the characters as a whole. But if a picture does speak a thousand words, we definitely have an idea as to what we can expect whether it's just studying his face, his choice of apparel, or even how he moves in that short video.

What's so interesting about Hitch is he seems to be main male character of Gen 5 along with otherwise all main female cast.

Mane Six is comprised of group of all female and the only main male character is a dragon named Spike.

So I guess he's going to be the only guy of the group (unless they're announced another male character but I doubt it).

Also, Will Smith called, he want "Hitch" name back, there can be the only one.

So it seems he’s the main male lead for the time being. If more news comes up in regard to the state as to how the whole team looks then folks are guaranteed a new blog. But until which time, let the Will Smith jokes commence.

The fact you used that Hellva Boss clip made me auto like your comments. I'd like it twice if I could. But in all seriousness, I'm a little nervous/excited about this.

The tension does get nerve wracking as we get closer and closer to the film’s release. And nothing actually has been out yet apart from that one video. No word yet if any teasers or official trailer release yet. But yeah, if we could double like any comment every social media site would do the same. Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, InstaGram, lots of em.

It's gonna be interesting when it hits Netflix

It can go either way when the movie makes its Netflix debut. This movie can either be the best project that the fans of MLP, young and old, have ever seen. OR... this could be a very big mistake. Either way, I'm willing to give this feature film a chance when it does come out. And who knows? You might see a critique of this film for a future blog. The key word being 'might'.

From the vibes im getting he could either be sunnies best friend sibling or newfound crush and based on the animatic he seems to have that rather smug/confident persona and maybe a bit of a ego similar to a certain rainbow mane pegasi we all know.

5482465
A character like Hitch could be anything once we do get an official release of a trailer. He does appear to be a pony who's been Sunny's one and only friend, but only because they grew up in the same town (The real issue is that while they 'can' be friends, friendship doesn't exist in an inter-species relationship kind of deal... or something). Not sure if they are siblings, although I could understand where that might be coming from. But if you are to ask me, if it turns out he ends up as a potential love interest for Sunny... I can vibe with that.

He does have that big of a smug/confident personality just by judging his choreography and facial features. It would be quite a twist if it turns out Hitch is a descendant of Rainbow Dash, even if he's not a Pegasus. Then again, some ponies like the Cakes are capable of having a child (Or children in their case) and they are not of the same species (Only because their family tree consists of a variety of ponies). Not sure if that'll work for this movie, but we shall determine what they do with it.

Fair i do see potential in him being a love interest. Also there was a deleted animatic where it looks like he was the pony who told izzy about the mane 6 (in some kind of song form sans the audio). Besides i dont see them or any other species having problems with friendship because essentially they are both earth ponies. Heck maybe she just runs into him much like izzy. Based on his name Hitch could possibly be even a lone wolf traveler type.

It was kind of hard to tell which ponies were which in that animatic. Judging by the design of the pony leading Sunny in a song, he seemed 'older'. Like a grandfather or perhaps Sunny's father, who's family probably grew up with tales of when Twilight and her friends inspired them with the idea that friendship can overcome all of life's daily struggles. I'm sure it would be a beautiful song regardless of who that one pony turned out to be, I just don't think it's Hitch.

Hitch would seem like a lone-wolf traveler. Probably travels the world of Equestria, not really finding a place to call a home, and documents his travels in his own little book. If it turns out he does not grow up in the same town as Sunny, perhaps she and Izzy happen to meet him by chance and invited him to join them on their adventure to restore friendship back to the country.
