De-Bunking (Origin of United Equestria) · 7:45pm Nov 8th, 2021
People seem to think that I used inspo of the planet Krypton (SUPERMAN) or Atlantis style, which explain the rebirth of the world.
No, that is not true. You see I've never seen much of Atlantis (Other than that cartoon movie that was made) and last night I saw SUPERMAN the animated Series for the very first time, and saw how Krypton was being rocked by Earthquakes.
So I can see why people are complaining, (Other than for just throwing more propaganda into the fray) but I assure you, my inspiration was different...
My inspiration came from IRWIN ALLEN'S "LOST IN SPACE" (1960s Sci-Fi)
SEASON 2 EPISODE 1: BLAST OFF INTO SPACE
The resulting detonations from a mining prospector cause violent earthquakes of the Robinson's lost planet, leaving the family with only a matter of hours to get the Jupiter 2 up and flying again before their planet explodes.
Earthquakes and the planet blowing is an old cliche... been done before and will be done again
Don't believe me? Here's another Example from Gerry Anderson's Supermarionation Sci-Series FIREBALL XL5 (1960s)
DANGEROUS CARGO
A planet that was once rich in valuable minerals has been completely sucked dry leaving it all hollow and riddled with mine-shafts causing quakes, tremors and fissures that the entire planet is falling to bits. World Space Patrol determines that the best option is to blow the planet up with a bomb, before the planet just falls apart and creates a dangerous asteroid field.
Then again, what about DRAGONBALL Z... when Frieza set Planet Namek to blow up...
or even DRAGON BALL GT, the Earth was quaking as it was getting ready to blow up due to the BLACK STAR BALLS.
...So don't give me grief over something that's always been done.
Now what happened on my Starfleet Season 1 is very simple...
People keep blaming Starfleet (Rhymey in particular) for the destruction of Planet Equestria, but that is not true at all. The planet was already set for doom long before that.
Season 1 episode 20 "A Visit to Equestria"
Rhymey is en-route to Equestria to retrieve a Star Stone that had been hidden there, meanwhile the Equestrian ponies and other creatures are just minding their own business, and preparing for a party in Princess Twilight's honor.
(Start at 0:38)
(Unused) Disembodied Narrator: "Last week as you recall, the magical world of Equestria was rocked by a series of savage earthquakes. Little did Our Little Ponies realize... in only a matter of days... a cataclysmic explosion would break apart the planet's core, and disintegrate their entire world into galactic dust!"
Imagine everyone just doing their business... walking to work and school, and or hanging out, or preping up for Twilight's party...
When suddenly... you hear a loud EXPLOSION... followed by everything shaking so violently... not like simple vibrations in which you can remain standing... think of it like a vehicle crashing. The shaking is so rough and so violent, you'll have to hang on real tight and make sure that nothing heavy falls on you!!
The quakes just keep happening, and no one seems to know what's causing them (Not even expert Equestrian Geologists)
At the party (After Rhymey has come and gone) It is discovered that it is Nightmare Moon (Now SUPER NIGHTMARE MOON) who had been shaking the planet up as a test of her newly developed, stronger powers (As a bit of a gag to make ponies suffer)
She, now having aligned herself with Lord Titan's fallen minions, enslave all of Equestria with an iron fist. (the Equestrians are not properly equipped or empowered to handle this kind of force)
Unfortunately, the earthquakes are still happening, even though Nightmare has stopped doing it herself... the result of Nightmare's careless, and excessive use to shake the planet too much has begun a chain reaction that will destroy the entire planet.
As is determined by Starfleet (with their PROPER technologies) the effects are irreversible (Beyond the Point of No Return)
Grand Ruler Celesto: "She's begun a destructive process that can't be stopped."
The planet is doomed, and there's nothing they can do to stop it from blowing, but thanks to Starfleet and the resources they possess (Which the Equestrians haven't got) they can evacuate everyone off the planet and get to a safer place.
Which they do (After much difficulty and delay because run-ins with enemy forces)
(I just love the music for these kinds of scenes. that's all)
Krysta and her fairies open space-portals, and every single creature on the entire planet begins to move in file formation, zooming across space, and landing on refuge planets run by Starfleet to keep them all safe.
"Come on!"
"Hurry!"
"Go-Go-Go!!"
"...Come on, keep moving! Keep Moving!"
...Were it not for Starfleet, the Equestrians would have been surely lost. If they weren't killed by Super Nightmare's wrath, they would have been surely killed when the planet blew up.
It was then thanks to Grand Celestia Ruler, harnessing the beliefs of all the people of the two worlds, that they were able to reform a new planet from the shattered remains of the two worlds (Unicornicopia had been destroyed prior to Equestria) This power can only be used ONCE (The next time something like this happens... all sales are final)
(1:08)
(Love that music, perfect for what is needed)
(1: 50)
Twilight and the ponies have been transformed into humanoid (Like the space alicorns) and they admire their new looks and clothing.
(1: 57)
The planet is fully awakened as the sky turns blue and bright again.
(2:02)
The Ruler separated back into Celesto and Celestia (Celestia is now humanoid too)
(2:12)
Everyone admires the new world, and how grateful they are to all be alive.
"It's a perfect ending."
"No... it's a perfect beginning."
"Welcome to UNITED EQUESTRIA!"
UNITED EQUESTRIA
It follows more of Equestria OG than Unicornicopia, but with slight differences... (A combination of the OLD and the NEW)
-All the towns, villages, land masses... are now much wider than before. Meaning there is now much more space for things, but it also takes much longer to get where you want to go by railway.
-Every place is now called "New"-- New Ponyville... New Canterlot... New Sweet Apple Acres, ect, ect...
-Some things have been switched around a bit. (What once was HERE, is now over THERE) So you might want to get yourself an up-to-date map
-Now with Starfleet technology, the planet runs much more efficiently with new jobs, new ways to handle things, and even make life a little different and maybe easier, but if you choose, you can still stick to regular Equestrian tech.
Applejack and her people do. Even with all the newer farming equipment and ways to get work done faster, the farmers of NSAA prefer to stick to the old fashioned way, and their choice, and that is fine.
-Twilight Sparkle and her friends, just like many other ponies and creatures... they WANTED to join Starfleet on their own accord. They want to be ready the next time the planet is attacked. They were never drafted or forced to enter. Twilight especially wanted to join so she could get stronger, and learn new kinds of magic and stuff.
...And THAT is how I started United Equestria. And that is how I PREFER it...Period.
Dislike it if you will... but don't give me a hard time over it.
And don't give me Pish-Posh about "You bully Twilight and friends all the time" They are cartoons, not real people. It isn't the same.
TBF, while it has been done, quite a few people felt the dub of DBZ made Goku a bit TOO Superman-esque. And by Atlantis, they mean moreso how the mythical nation was said to have sunk into the sea.
