- Sprout represents so many of the qualities that normally detracts from my enjoyment of a film, and yet...somehow, the MLP staff still makes him funny to watch :)
- Zábava
I find it fitting that his name is Sprout, because he REALLY has a LOT of growing up to do.
Ikr
I wonder if he'll eventually be renamed to stalk lolz
*In other words, Sprout Cloverleaf is one bad seed of a stallion!* *Here's hoping our five brand new beautiful and extraordinary archetypal G5 My Little Pony hero pony characters Zipp Storm ,Sunny Starscout, Pipp Petals, Izzy Moonbow, and Hitch Trailblazer keep on a eye on the bad boy colt ,Sprout and foil any future evil schemes in the brand new upcoming G5 My Little Pony series coming soon in Netflix, September 2022!* ;)
found this funny sKit.. czcams.com/video/N_fYAxum-M0/video.html 😂😂
@@God-T omg that's Hilarious
As much as i think Sprout should still be punished for his crimes, i would also hope that they give him a redemption arc i think it would be a good way to develop his character sure it would basically just be another Sunset Shimmer/Starlight Glimmer situation, but i for one would like to see how far Sprout would come while going down that path.
I feel like that's just a Mane-5-to-Mane-6 moment waiting to happen, though I think the MLP staff would rather be wise to not give Sprout an element of Harmony.
Punishing Sprout and nobody else would have ruined the message of the movie. So much for unity.
If Sunny to be following Twilight Sparkle's footsteps that is. Not to mention her home & her possessions are destroyed, she won't be easily forgiving.
Well for me I would love to see Sprout meet a Unicorn who had the same views as him at first and then she starts sort of going, "why would I use my horn to shoot a laser in your face?" And him saying, "I smell? I just took a bath!"
@@arrowghost my thoughts exactly. Sprout went and made her homeless.
That's not something you can just sweep under the rug.
"You destroyed my home and all my possessions, even many things my dead father left me that are my only things that connect me to him and I'll probably now be living on the street while you live with your mother in a very wealthy house, but no hard feelings".
Not even bad fanfiction would try that
Sprout is my favourite character of the movie. I wouldn't say that he was spoiled. More like his issues were so long ignored by his mother that he started to ignore them too. Whenever he wanted to have a deeper conversation she ditched him (just like at the end of the movie). And he didn't seem to "always" want to be in charge either. He just wanted some respect. He wanted to be praised for what he does, but well, Hitch developed a hero-sidekick relationship with him and not a friends/coworkers (and let's not ignore that Hitch is a bit of a narcissist himself, I mean for some reason making a callendar with his own sexy photos and hanging it in the office disturbs me more than making a giant robot in one's image and calling himself an emperor xD) Notice how he goes out of his way to keep up to Sunny at the beginning of the movie and after raporting to Hitch doesn't get as much as "okay good job" but he is not angry about it. He doesn't react at all. He is used to it. Only when ponies tell him off to his face does he have a reaction (like when Hitch left to look for Sunny, Sprout wasn't mad at him for going on a solo mission, he was smiling, untill Hitch told him straight away how little he thinks of him, that's when his mood dropped). His mother also doesn't seem to care about his feelings, only his success, like a beauty-contest mum. In a "Don't be sad you are handsome" and not "Why are you sad? Can we fix it?" way. He tried to calm the town Hitch's way but ponies disregarded him, and said that "they want the real sherriff" only after beeing disregarded twice he switched from doing what he saw Hitch do to doing what he saw his mother do - from calming to controlling the fear. Both Hitch and his mother were ponies he looked up to and in a way lived in a shadow of. He tried to do the same things he believed gained those ponies respect and love of the citizens. Let's not act like everypony in the town was innocent and only he was in the wrong here. He did came up to the ponies who put the frame together right before the magic kicked in and stood beside the pegasi queen and not his mum. He had his ears forward, he was listening to Sunny. Not to mention that pegasi and unicorns were called a threat because they had magic, how will he react to finding the earth pony magic?
I just really hope that the series won't make him a slice of life vilalin or just SOURCE of conflict but also a victim of it. (like each episode of Discord did :/ Where it was always him messing up and never others messing up around him) Or worse, that they will make him a punching bag for the "look how pathetic he is haha, doesn't he deserves it?!" jokes.
I mean after the stunt he provided, he might be outcasted by the town. He is now alone I fear, and that could be a great lesson about consequences of once's actions but also about blaming somepony. Earth ponies using him as an escape goat? That could be a powerfull lesson. When we see that he is just as much of a victim as everypony else. That there are no better or worse ponies. Just some failing more spectacularrly. I just want him to be eager to learn and change, and other ponies to help him too, not only out of "WE ARE THE GOOD GUYS" but just out of care for him. Like, Sunny and Hitch used to be his foalhood friends, I want to have stories focusing on that too.
But maybe I just want to much and read too deep.
Also him having his own unicorn / pegasus friend or maybe even a romantic interest could be a heck of a fun idea. Like, him meeting this pony's parents and experiencing the "earth pony" stereotypes. And it would be also easier to see him progress towards open-mindnessness than with the mane 5 as they would not have a direct backstory with eachother, not to mention the "taking your childhood friends from you" stigma. And it could be cute, especially if at first he didn't know that they are a uniucorn/pegasus, maybe because them meeting online or something. And making him realise that it surelly does not matter at all in the end.
I can see Sprout being a mix of Spike, Diamond Tiara, and Starlight Glimmer. A socially-awkward inferiority-complex bully, demagogue, and comic relief who will nevertheless have opportunities to grow with his own story arcs and character development.
Honestly if you look at his name, his cutie mark, various of early concept of his cutie mark and even his colour scheme, it seem to be foreshadowing that he's meant to be a farmer. Isn't he has the same colour scheme as Big Mac and also look at his mother !!! Isn't the colour of her mane is the same as Big Mac and her skin is the same colour as Sugarbelle ?? I am just wondering if Sprout was a descendent of Big Mac and Sugarbelle. I am also wondering if he's gonna became one in the series as part of his redemption arc ? Maybe he's always a failure because he's trying to be a law enforcer eventhough his cutie mark does not reflect that and is a turnip (it's a turnip right ??). Maybe he's trying to be a law enforcer because he's trying to copy his ever popular friends, Hitch, but instead unsuccesfull. This whole time always being a failure, a dissappointment and never able to be on the same level as Hitch is what leading to his inferiority complex. Maybe now that his own mother seem to be dissappoint in him will also play a part of his redemption arc.
Maybe after his redemption arc, his mother can change her business model to both security and food or just simply focused on food production and cultivation with Sprout play an important part or maybe he can be indenpendent on his own with agricullture and food cultivation and maybe a little help from his mother.
So glad they reigned in that concept about his mom. That's Norman Bates levels of creepy. I hope he get redeemed over time and eventually joins the Mane 5.
So eventually leading to them being called the name mane 6?
Excuse me, but giving him Oedipus Syndrome would have been a _brilliant_ choice. Both dark and humorous!
I'm not sure how much they'll be able to keep Sprout afraid of non earth ponies. I mean in the ending of the movie, the crystals didn't light up until Sprout joined the other ponies standing around Argyle's picture. Keeping him scared of non earth ponies feels like beating a dead horse at this point. Unless they play it for cutes. Imagine Izzy wanting to be friends with him but he keeps running away because he's scared of unicorns.
People forget that Sprout is also Sunny and Hitch's childhood friend. If he starts hanging out with them and the other characters, its not gonna look strange. I bet Hitch deputised him because he felt bad becoming sheriff when it was Sprout's childhood dream to be sheriff.
Sprout was obsessed at being sheriff but he's not good at it. What is his real talent? Why does he want to be sheriff so badly? Does he know his real talent but turned his back on it? Or maybe he doesn't even know what he's good at. I think these are the questions that Sprout would tackle in the series.
I think he wanted to be Sheriff due to that being the top position in the police force, and thinking he would be cool. And we all know how his mother is, and she probably highly encouraged him to reach for that goal because she wanted her child to be super successful, even if he didn't really want it that badly originally. So it just ended up with him thinking he had to become the sheriff, when he really didn't. At least, that's my theory :)
Also, I love the idea of Izzy trying to be friends with Sprout. I think that would be cute
@@tme1518 i have a theory that sprout is actually just as intelligent as a pony like twilight just he comes off as a idiot n social skills it would also be nice if we see any of hobbies in the series
I think it would be a cool idea if hitch found out something personal about sprout, possibly something having to do with his childhood
I can imagine having a mom who believes propaganda and no father to teach him right or wrong, I wouldn’t be surprised if sprout has daddy issues
Maybe the reason he was attached to his mom is because he was never able to impress his dad, and a possible divorce between phyllis and sprouts dad might have shattered sprouts independence. I wouldn’t be surprised if he thought he was the reason they got divorced.
Sprout and Hitch are childhood friends. I bet it was Hitch that made him deputy because he felt bad when he became sheriff. Sprout's childhood dream was to be sheriff and Hitch must have accidentally taken it away from his childhood friend.
I'm guessing its going to be Izzy that helps Sprout become a better pony. Izzy has this power to see a pony's luminessence. She might help Sprout discover his true calling in life like how the cmcs helped Diamond Tiara. Because whatever it is that Sprout is good at, its not being sheriff.
OMG imagine if his dad actualy left them and he still feels like that's because he just wasn't a good enough son (like he wasnt a good enough sherriff for the town's folks when he tried to calm them down, he wasn't a good enough deputy to Hitch etc) and that's why he tried so hard to impress his mum (by taking her lessons waaay to much to heart) but also, in his eyes, protect her and the entire town.
Honestly if you look at his name, his cutie mark, various of early concept of his cutie mark and even his colour scheme, it seem to be foreshadowing that he's meant to be a farmer. Isn't he has the same colour scheme as Big Mac and also look at his mother !!! Isn't the colour of her mane is the same as Big Mac and her skin is the same colour as Sugarbelle ?? I am just wondering if Sprout was a descendent of Big Mac and Sugarbelle. I am also wondering if he's gonna became one in the series as part of his redemption arc ? Maybe he's always a failure because he's trying to be a law enforcer eventhough his cutie mark does not reflect that and is a turnip (it's a turnip right ??). Maybe he's trying to be a law enforcer because he's trying to copy his ever popular friends, Hitch, but instead unsuccesfull. Rather then a daddy issue, i seeing it's more probable that this whole time always being a failure, a dissappointment and never able to be on the same level as Hitch is what leading to his inferiority complex. Maybe now that his own mother seem to be dissappoint in him will also play a part of his redemption arc.
Maybe after his redemption arc, his mother can change her business model to food production and cultivation with Sprout play an important part or maybe he can be indenpendent on his own with agricullture and food cultivation and maybe a little help from his mother.
I noticed something about Sprout. When Hitch asks him to help him catch Izzy and Sunny, he makes excuses. When he leaves, Sprout shows envy for Hitch, and that he deserves the same respect. He then takes power by creating fear, rather than helping others like Hitch. He also shows to be controlled by the fear the ponies show when they come for him for help, as much as he control them with it.
Sprout, if he get an arc, should learn to become responsible, and learn to be humble. Maybe it could be something to do like help the other tribes, or like someone in the comments suggested, he meets someone of a different tribe with the same views as him. Maybe his arc can also mirror the deradicalization process xenophobic people go through when they become better people, with him forming a group which help the tribes learn about each other and become less fearful at the end.
I'm not sure if Sprout continuing to be Hitch's sidekick in the same way he was in the film would actually be healthy for his well-being to be honest. Hitch has the tendency to be condescending to Sprout, granted it is with merit, but that environment may hinder Sprout from conquering his insecurities of feeling inferior to anybody, especially that he technically cannot always accomplish Hitch's expectations of him as an effective partner in law enforcement.
Hitch has some narcissistic tendences too and that seem to be part of Sprout's problem. I mean he did hang a callendar filled with his own sexy photos in the office. This is not healthy to anyone xD
Remember when Sprout went out of his way to chase Sunny over town because Hitch told him to? He didn't even got a "thank you" or a "good job" or even "well you could've used some wheels as well". And judging by the way Sprout reacted... it wasn't the first time his efforts meant nothing to Hitch in the end.
@@PokemonkaDub I know right?! 😅 Hitch only gave Sprout a stare down once he caught up with them so exhausted, but Sprout shrugged that off. Besides, he's a deputy, as he would likely say. But I can only imagine he got so used to pretending that whatever Hitch has done to him never stings . . . but it does.
When Hitch later gave Sprout an assignment to stay in Maretime Bay to be the town's temporary peacekeeper, he first gave off a tone where he genuinely trusts Sprout that he can handle it, but Hitch quickly twists his tone 180 cause all of that was just his way of expressing his displeasure to Sprout when he turned down his request to join him chase down Sunny. Hitch even has the audacity to slam those doors in front of him. No wonder Sprout started ripping calendars and kicking shelves immediately right after. That must have hurt!
To think Sprout was initially delighted when Hitch gave that peacekeeping assignment before he decided to twist his tone. 🤔
@@BuizelCream Dude, the moment his smile just fades from his face is so painfull to watch in that scene...
But yes, imagine working with someone so full of himself and playing a hero all the time. They are suppose to be coworkers / partners /friends. Yes, Hitch is the superiour but he seems to be playing it off more like beeing a hero and his little sidekick. And everypony just praise him and clap their hooves while you barely can catch a breath in the back... in the shadow... and Sprout is aware of his weaknesses, like he knows he is not good in so many things but still feels injustice in the way he's treated and I can't blame him. He doesn't seem to be jelaous of the responsybility or the title of sheriff, he is proud to trott alongside Hitch as a deputy, as a support but he wants to be treated good too. I think that a good word here ant there wouldn't kill Hitch and also would build some self-esteem in Sprout too. And maybe make him less of a coward because he would know that maybe he CAN win in some situations which would mean he is not in constant danger. Everypony always ignores Sprout, no matter if he tries his hardest or not at all (like citizens when he tried to calm them down) So why bother? Why be brave? Why try at all? He can just be in the back right? But it does still sting in the end...
@@PokemonkaDub Man, Sprout truly needs redemption 😭 This is truly an interesting case because . . . it's not like Sprout and Hitch first met in the office. They were childhood buddies. So whenever Hitch fires a bullet of mistreatment, Sprout will get hit harder and deeper. And of course Sprout never resigned his position even after all that because it's cool to be working with a friend.
I believe you that Sprout may not have been jealous when Hitch became the sheriff instead of him . . . at first. It's sad that because of their positions of responsibility, their friendship suffered, losing reasons to see each other eye to eye as equals.
This gets even more complicated because Hitch has his reasons of being right. Sprout can be incompetent, and he doesn't want to deal with it. I bet Hitch started to lose respect for Sprout because he's just oblivious from seeing that Sprout was actually trying. But Hitch's condescending attitude rubs Sprout the wrong way and it makes matters worse for both of them.
This is why I don't want Hitch and Sprout to be partners like this in the series, until both of them start to settle these complicated issues that has been left unaddressed and has caused a lot of damages between the two of them for who knows how long. 🤔
@@BuizelCream I feel like Hitch doesn't see Sprout trygin because unlike him, Sprout does not always succeed and Hitch just can't seem to not judge others by his own standards of picture perfect. He sees his friend more like a burden, a stain on a GREAT SHERIFF'S image. But he's just like Phyliss in the way of not adressing the issues. Sprout's mother is just like "Oh, don't be sad, you are awesome" istead of asking "Why are you sad, how can we fix it?" So Sprout ends up feeling like it's something wrong with him THAT he is sad or angry. And it's a small but very significant difference. He feels he doesn't fit the picture his mother is painting of him in her words (as a trained salesmare) so he goes super overboard whenever he has a glimpse of control, of respect.
They never wanted to listen, but now finally he has means to MAKE THEM listen. And also let's not forget that he still believed he was doing the right thing, protecting the town, beeing a hero just like Hitch. Desperate times, desperate measures. He truly believed that giving the magic back to unicorns and pegasi would bring destruction to his home. He was blinded by that idea, yes, but let's not pretend like other ponies weren't.
I think Curlie Howard described Sprout’s problem best,
“I’m a victim of circumstance!”
Curlie Howard
The Three Stooges
(Thinking out loud)
Sprout will probably still show some mistrust to the unicorns and Pegasi, and even with sunny trying to encourage him, sprout won’t listen. However maybe Izzy could try to talk into some sense to sprout, because her bubbly caring nature helps to bring out the better in everyone.
Having seen the film, I'm all but certain that Sprout's character has some clear inspiration from Barney Fife (with Hitch being the counterpart to Sheriff Andy) from the Andy Griffith Show.
I think a Barney Fife arc would be fitting. While Barney was at times over zealous and sometimes the comedic relief he did have a heart of gold and did his best to be a good deputy, just that Sherriff Taylor was more settled and common sensed. I can see Sprout trying to unlearn the propaganda he was taught and that his past views sometimes result in bad outcomes, not on a malicious level but as just ignorance in trying to deal with a new reality.
Honestly, that's interesting because I didn't think about their relationship like that. Namely, due to how Sprout went more overboard than Barney would ever dare.
I love the Andy Griffith show! Please don’t judge XD
I think that Spout may end up in a Sunset Shimmer/Starlight Glimmer character arc, where he goes from evil to joining the Mane 5 and helping them.
I can kinda see that. Sunset Shimmer did was evil and finally learned her lesson. Spout seem to learn his lesson, but he’s also like Diamond Tiara.
Sprout did not start as a villain or an antagonist. That part of him was short-lived.
Make Sprout rebuild Sunny’s house as community service for wrecking it, that’ll teach him!
Imo he’ll start off as a recurring villain, reform and become a Starlight Glimmer. And possibly be the sixth member of the mane 5
Sprout is not a villain, and after the end of the movie, it makes no sense to continue with that.
He can stir up a quick mob much like how Gaston from Beauty And the Beast can by using their fears against them and encouraging anger, fear and hate to take root and grow. Hopefully the series works with him on being about half (or more) as less judgmental and bigoted. Maybe they’ll eventually have him either join the group or form friendships with other ponies from the other tribes. It’d also be nice to see him eventually admit and do things far more independently and see that not everything that his mother did and believed about the other races was true. I’d also like to see them address some of the jealousy and friendship issues that he has with Hitch. For all we know, maybe Phyllis really approved of Hitch and might’ve even occasionally used him as an example for or to Sprout.
I do not really know what to expect for Sprout in the series right now. After what he did in the film, it is really hard to tell. He might still be the same way, but after the 3 pony tribes got back together and magic got restored, he might have to change his view on things like that when it comes to the other pony tribes. What they might do with him could be interesting. We will have to wait and see.
I feel like once his mother starts being nice to unicorns and pegasi, he'll probably start being nice, just for "Mommy's approval". But then in private, still hate them.
I want to see him grow, and also see his mother reign him in as she undoes the damages. I can see his mother becoming a friends with a Unicorn and trying to figure out how fix the problems she caused. I want Sprout to have a few flip outs. I can see his mother yelling, "STOP STOP STOP! You have it all wrong!"
I would guess, he will be sent into a base in the desert, get a purple secretary, and do colabs with other creatures
Na he's not enough cynical or filled with enough anger
Don't forget the leather jacket!
Ha! I see what you did there.
Sprouts mother can be such a Karen
Redemption for Sprout.
I imagine there would be some episodes in the upcoming G5 series where Sprout finds himself in several difficult and hilarious situations where he has to resolve them himself without help from the G5 Mane Cast or his mother.
Well this made my day a whole lot better.
Well.
I think that now that unicorns can actually blast lasers, his fearmongering can be justified.
I think in the show,they will play around with magic, and when things go wrong,Sprout will be there to add tension.
I just hope he wont be murdered like Diamond Tiara were
i think he might realize his wrong doings and a while after hes reformed and he hears the story of tempest shadow from sunny he might find success in business on making working fake horns and wings for amputees'
sprout...the MLP team rocket, to be used whenever they need a comedic throw away villan of the day
I can see him still trying to stir up trouble like how he was in the start of the Angry Mob song but maybe more on the side or in the background somewhere. Not sure. All these videos on potential story ideas for the show are making me more excited but waiting for so long makes it hard to wait. I can see some kind of plot where maybe hitch is hesitant to hire him back as a sheriff after the event of the film but this is mlp. Ponies are quick to forgive. To some extent.
I can see Fire Brand-
I mean
Sprout maturing and growing up but in a bad way. Him becoming more and more serious and less clumsy. No longer looking to mommy for guidness and starting to rebel against her. All because he's tired of being Hitch's shadow. If this is what happens to Sprout I would enjoy him much much more than I did in the film
Honestly, I agree that Sprout is like Diamond Tiara but he also kinda reminds me of Applejack? like, the main five take elements from the mane six.
Sunny is Twilight Sparkle (obviously)
Hitch is Futtershy
Izzy is Pinkie Pie
Zipp is Rainbow Dash
Pipp is Rarity
So that leaves Sprout to Applejack
I’ve heard rumours about the mlp staff possibly making Applejack evil for G5 so it kinda makes sense? I don’t know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Interesting. Honestly I see Hitch as more of an Applejack, and Sprout as more of a Fluttershy. Dude is literally scared of EVERYTHING. The only traits of Fluttershy's that Hitch has is the kindness, and the animal attraction. And even he doesn't know where the latter comes from. XD
@@pundertalefan4391 Hitch is also very kind and patient. He is the sheriff yet very soft on Sunny and most other ponies, rather than a hardass "I'm in charge, I wear the badge" jerk.
@@jadecoolness101 I agree. The only times he comes off as harsh, is from a place of caring, and usually involving tough love. I should've thought of that when I first posted.
Speaking of Applejack, imagine if the mane characters somehow meeting an earth pony who is actually a descendant of the Apple bloodline.
Sunny is Twilight Sparkle? maybe TS (twilight) is like a Spirit guide and Winesap would be his/her name
DT was tolerable because she always got some sort of karmic justice at the end of each antagonistic appearance, from being put in her place by her dad to losing her chance to represent Equestria in the Friendship Games. Sprout got NOTHING!! That is my sticking point with him.
However, there is something else we are forgetting. Canter-Logic itself. With the advent of magic, their entire business is now at best obsolete, and at worse (and far mor likely imo) ineffective. If Phyllis is as good a business mare as she appears, she will likely try and steer her company and the entire fear based culture towards friendship between the races, which would require some R&D. I can see Sprout either throwing or being the wrench in whatever new project the company decides to take on, which would drive revenue down, furthering his grudge against the other races, spurring more wrench throwing. This cycle will continue until Phyllis has enough, tears into him and cuts him off. This would force him to reflect and eventually come around.
If they take the G4 route, he'll probably get a redemption in an episode, maybe an aftermath/follow up later, and probably stay a side character for the rest of the series.
I think that's actually one of FIM's weaknesses; the show often didn't give enough time to have things properly develop. Granted, animation is hard and the staff had to crank out 22 minutes a week, which I can only imagine is nightmarish, but if you look at all the villians who got reformed, you can pick out a single episode where it happened. Luna, Discord, Starlight, and even lesser antagonists like Diamond Tiara and the changelings -- they all had one moment where everything changed and now they're good. It even extended to EQG with characters like Juniper, Sci-Twi, and Gloriosa.
If they decide to reform and redeem Sprout, I hope they do what they did with Sunset Shimmer: her evil scheme was thwarted and she was punished for her actions (perhaps not as harshly as she should've been but the justice system is pretty lenient on minors regardless of crime...also it's a kids' show). But even after that, she didn't just get a free pass and was good. During Rainbow Rocks, everyone was overtly hostile to her, despite her best efforts to make up for what she did. It wasn't until the end of that movie, when she was instrumental in the defeat of the sirens -- villains who were, ironically, going to do what she tried but much more effectively and on a wider scale -- that Sunset was properly redeemed. Rainbow Rocks was an entire movie dedicated to Sunset's redemption, and because it was handled so well, Sunset Shimmer is ranked among the fan favorites and is widely considered to be the best thing that came out of the entire spinoff series.
G5 could learn a thing or two from Equestria Girls.
Or maybe he related to Applejack family descendant of BigMac.
Well, if he does have a redemption arc, I can imagine it almost like Trixie. Still snobbish and self-centered but aware of other's feelings and will grow to care for them
to be completely honest, i didn't really like him all that much the first time i watched the movie. (Though admittedly angry mob was one of my favorite songs)
but the the more times i watched the movie, and the more i saw fan art and comics, he really started to grow on me. he's still not my favorite character, but i don't dislike him either. i would really like to see him have some sort of redemption arc in the series.
actually, i think it would be really funny if his gag in the upcoming series was that he was constantly breaking out of jail.
like Hitch walks into the sheriff's office and sees the little prison area is open.
and he's like- " oh, for the love of equestria! he got out again!..."
and then it cuts to sprout running off and causing shenanigans. 🤣
I personally think he will be redeemed
I’d more than likely be flattered to empirically witness upon Sprouts gaslighting tactics (hopefully Sprout can still manifest a slight amount of coercions and devious, persistent and malevolent methods) and still provoke other subordinate earth ponies and still retaliate against his mortifying defeat by reconciling the 3 distinctive pony breeds, then reconcile the majestic, mystical crystals, (despite how alliterative I remotely conveyed that certain statement of course).
That consept of his mech looking like his mom reminds me of the suppose to be boss in metroid dread where instead of kraiden it was dark samus and her attacks be the same as raven beak but a key difference and it is the counter seen where dark samus charges at regular samues and try to uppercut you with her arm cannon and the counter was a super missile to the face and then you in the game go into morph ball form and dodge dark samus target missiles and once defeated there's a cutseen of dark samus helmet was knocked off and you see her real face and it would of had it ended by a EMMI showing up and dying to dark samus and dark samus shacked your samues hand saying goodbye and dark samus turns into nothing but dust but she gives you the shock fury a emp bomb that can be dropped in ever form and once used it shut down any robotic enemy even Emmi for 15 seconds
Sprout would be to a best pony when he became friendship lesson. Him arrested is unfair he has falire and I think he isn't a bad guy
You make very good videos Doc 😊Nice job
he still committed a serious crime by putting the lives of so many innocent ponies in danger, and on top of that, he get so close to KILLING Sunny and Izzy. he SHOULD be punished for what he did to some extent: if it's not jail, at least have him do several hours of community service while also going to therapy for his xenophobic behavior
I hope sprout apologizes to sunny and her friends
I think Sprout's mech SHOULD have been in Phyllis's image: it would be perfect comeuppance for her.
IT MAKES NO SENSE. No wonder we didn't get a giant Phyllis.
@@0deadx21 What do you mean it makes no sense?
@@maddenboseroy4074 Sprout is suppose to see himself as a superior. How does making a giant Phyllis instead of giant him consistent with that? It's not, so it didn't happen.
@@0deadx21 Giant Phyllis could also be a physical manifestation of his insecurities.
Assuming Sprout designed the war machine himself. He's probably really smart and good at engineering/inventing I would like the show to go more into that
Yeah like im see Sprout is really at that but the other thing im wanna see from Sprout is Stop being an Coward and an Mama boy And Step it up and. Moving forward to his life because im feel really bad For Him
Am I going to be the only person to bring up the fact the Sprout is just 3D Firebrand?
Sprout was similar to Diamond Tiara, but also a little bit like the old Starlight.
Ok... that's NOT about the Character. Just the design.
Anyone else getting the impression someone designed him after one Commander Firebrand?
What ever happened to the Crystal Empire?
Possible theory : The Revolution
- The future ruler of the empire pulled a Nicholas II
- Caused a war that could be the cataclysm for the disappearance of all magic
- Causing the break of harmony between all three tribes
- It may also cause racism among all
accused of
- Also the same for unicorns and pegasus
- The unicorns could've lost or be propaganda of being the direct cause of the lost of magic being aided by the pegasuses to the earth ponies and vice versa to the pegasuses
- This caused the crystal imperial family and or everyone of the crystal empire being massacred or fled to hide either with the yacks, changelings, hippogryphs,Griffons or dragons trying to ask for aid or help
-But one of the 5 species could have said no but are happy to give them refuge.
Conclusion: The Imperial crystal family or future descendants of the family were living comfortable lives as self-exiled royals as well as the aristocratic crystal unicorns that are useless without magic but could have in one point in the timeline of gen 5 repopulated the crystal city therefore meaning the crystal ponies maybe would have remembered the old days of mane 6 and became a monarchist society of historical preservationists trying to keep old traditions of during the era of mane 6 alive and could have be rebuilding the empire because of revival of magic after the events of the film.
maybe after twilight passed, they had a corrupt Queen/Dictator, things like that can happen!
@@God-T Yay but i like the idea that the crystal empire's future monarch could have been ill prepared to take up the task of a whole empire. Maybe Flurryheart herself denied any attention to her children and cause a gap between this monarch and his and her mother.
Sprout my the least enjoyable character, not my cup of tea, but he wasn't bad, and you can't blame him for how he behaves.
Sprout is like _Ed, Edd n Eddy_ On paper it should be awful, but in execution is enjoyable.
He probably just going to become a casual friend of Hitch who appears in few episodes and mostly will antagonize other ponies like Diamond Tiara did
"Jail", Doc. "Jail" is what should honestly be next for Sprout. Haha!~
sprout has the most potential, don't let the prison thing cloud your judgment, he was indoctrinated as a young child just like Hitch was, if you want to blame someone his mother was the one who spread the propaganda!
Going too far. And what about the queen for example? Why shouldn't she be returned to jail along with the her daughters?
@@0deadx21 the Queen is not a child, she's been doing that, for years her daughters are just the instruments of her facade, similar to Sprouts mother propaganda.
Lol
@@0deadx21 So... (Somehow) creating a dictatorship for himself in roughly three days and nearly killing Sunny and her friends while destroying Sunny's only home, including all her belongings and food wasn't "too far"? Hahaha, ok. Also, I never mentioned whether or not anypony else should go to jail. Sprout's record now includes multiple counts of attempted murder, reckless endangerment of civilians, destruction of property, overstepping his authority, and more... and you want him to walk away scot-free? That's still not kosher for Hasbro to reinforce such huge, deliberate criminal acts as immediately forgivable. At the very least, he owes Sunny a new house with all her previous amenities, for pity's sake...
I so want Sprout to be redeemed and become the sixth member of the group. All he really wants is approval, and friends, even if he doesn't realize it yet. I think he should at least rebuild Sunny's house though. That's fair. XD
I'd like to see him grow up, and I say that in the nicest way. His mother has coddled him and never given him room to grow on his own, so he grew into an (assumed) young-adult pony who is dependent on his mother and craves only her approval. It's almost sad. Yes he became a dictator, but only because that's what he thought his mother wanted.
Even at the end, "Was I a good sheriff mommy?" He did everything for her and her approval. Maybe I'm getting my hopes up too much, but I hope this G5 plot will cover the topic of "helicopter parents" and I think Sprout would be the perfect character to use and develop.
@@jadecoolness101 I agree wholeheartedly. Something I noticed throughout the movie, is that he's always getting shoved aside or looked down on by others, and that's really sad. Even Hitch does it, though, I don't think it's intentional. He really just needs a genuine friend who appreciates whatever positive qualities he may have, and I think Sunny and Izzy could be great for that. The only one who's really appreciated him is his own mother, and after the stunt he pulled at the end of the movie, he may not even be able to count on that anymore. Imagine how much that hurts, and imagine how the entire town is going to feel about him, after being spurred into a mob, mentality by him. He's probably going to be looked down upon even more than before. But I think the main characters, especially Sunny and Izzy can put him on the right path, just like the CMC ended up doing for Diamond Tiara.
I really wish all the best for Sprout and his future.
@@pundertalefan4391 Yeah I can see him being shunned in the show, and continuing to hate unicorns and pegasi because that's what he was taught and mommy is the only one who gave him approval anyways. But mommy likes the unicorns and pegasi now, so even she will shun him. He may enter a terrible state where he either goes on another rampage and blames all unicorns and pegasi for ruining his life (Because as he was raised, unicorns and pegasi are evil), or he will just sulk in solitude and fall apart. In either of those scenarios, I fully expect Sunny and Izzy to be the ones to pull him out of it and help him also grow to value the approval of peers.
@@jadecoolness101 I can see that. I also hope that Hitch will be involved somehow. He and Sprout were shown to be friends in the past, and I feel like they could be again. But it'll take some effort from him, as well as Sprout. I could see him being resistant to the idea at first because of the laws Sprout broke and the ponies he put in danger. He'd have to get over himself as well.
@@pundertalefan4391 yeah, Hitch would definitely have to face himself a bit, since he constantly demeans Sprout. it'd be interesting.
Hitch and Sprout's friendship is(was?) hella toxic.
I had mention this on my twitter but I think he's supposed to be part of the new Mane 6 in the series but it'll take time for that to be revealed. Sprout, out of the all the other main characters, has the most to learn about friendship and grow. I'm not 100%, but it could very well be Loyalty as his element as he was not only loyal to his beliefs and morals, but to his mother and his town.
or he can represent a new element of acceptance over time learning to accept that things are the way they should be and overtime accepting other breeds and creatures into his life.
@@ilikemlpandjunk9035 Ooooo, I like that! I want that to happen! :0
While I did enjoy Sprout as a hilarious antagonist, I think it would have been more believable if Sprout tried to become a Mayor, President, or other real-life political position instead of declaring himself Emperor.
What about a chairman or a general-secretary?
Sprout reminds me of Starlight. I can see the mane 5 taking him under their hooves and teaching him about friendship.
Sprout so far appears to be very similar to Chang from community, cause of the whole creating an army thing (and cause they have the same actor). So I think it would be a good reference storyline if Sprout returns midway through season 1 with “sproutnesia”
I hope they don't give him the Trixie treatment.
I have 2 theories:
1. Sprout will end up in jail for what he did and get kicked off the force
2. Since this is My Little Pony, and they always forgive villains, I’m not surprised if they gave him a second chance and forgave him.
sprout has the most potential, don't let the prison thing cloud your judgment, he was indoctrinated as a young child just like Hitch was, if you want to blame someone his mother was the one who spread the propaganda.
I feel like at the very least he should be forced to do community service, maybe even help rebuild Sunny's house. This way he can be punished while also giving him an opportunity to grow.
Ponies never punish anyone for being stupid though. I remember Twilight casting a charm spell on a doll that mind controlled ponies. She didn't go to prison for that. Or AJ poisoning town folk of Ponyville from her baked bads. There was also Spike who became a giant dragon and Rarity who used dark magic. Both almost destroyed Ponyville but was never punished. People think Sprout was evil but he was just an idiot following all the misinformation he was told. You can't punish someone for being taught the wrong things all his life.
I'd like to see him learning how and why to use his skills for good. And what good is.
0:21 I love the wolf ear
Sprout is definitely a fascist towards the end of the movie but here’s hoping he has a believable and deserved redemption arc in the series that will hopefully be better handled than others
Looking at You SU Diamonds looking at you.
There’s a short comic I found on tumblr that showed a really nice scene of Sprout and Sunny talking after the fact.
@@kobayashi1194 link?
It’s really nice 🥺
guys if sprout reforms one thing i hope they do is kind of what they did with a few reformed villain's which is slightly change there desine i imagine a good small redesign would be replacing his belt sash thingy with a scarf or something and maybe show his front hair i liked that concept art that showed his front hair
i kinda hope we see him in prison at some point then he escapes some how, stores up trouble by himself or with the manipulation of a bigger bad. maybe the big bad who caused the unicorn, EP, and pegisi to break apart in the first place. then his redemption will come once he realizes he has been manipulated his whole life and every one of his schemes where not for the benefit of the EP but the big bad of the early season. though that is just my idea.
Sprout has the most potential, don't let the prison thing cloud your judgment, he was indoctrinated at a young age just like Hitch was, if you want to blame someone his mother was the one who spread the propaganda.
@@God-T i'm not saying I want him to stay in prison I just think if he went there it would be good set up to make him a pawn for a big bad and then later lead to his redemption.
They'll probably reform him over time like Glimmer or discord
My hope is that Sprout will still feel paranoid and spread rumours about the other species such as zebras, dragons, griffins, kirins, and the like. But eventually warm up to the concept of healthy communicating as he gets to know them (with guidance from the Mane 5) until one day (several seasons later) he could do it on his own without a chaperone. That would make for a fitting redemption arc.
Let's leave the non-pony creatures alone, at least for a long while.
Completely unrelated: Ditzy "Muffins" Doo must have been _really_ "friendly" with everypony she met in the G4 world. There are grey/blonde ponies (of all types) in the G5 world. At some points you can see 8 or 9 on screen at once in both Maretime Bay and Zephyr Heights. She's got thousands upon thousands of n-th degree grandchildren.
Sprout was the best character in the movie. I hope he becomes the 6th member of the new main 6.
Yeah... SO glad they toned down the Oedipus Complex angle.
I wonder if now, that he lost his status as sherif/dictator, ponies will make him pay for all the stuff he broke + food he took from all those ponies :3
They outta.
Imagine if in the show they decided to make it a mane 6 by adding Sprout to the main cast
sprout won my respect when he sung that nirvana-like sequenced mob song
sprout shood make a vodoo doll with powers that can travell thru ttime and he can use it to bruttaly torcher shitlight glimmer.
3:47 he needs a Fluttershy to coddle him badly :D i think he would make an excenter military leader and strategist, if and that is huge if he would be on the right cause, also he needs a lot of therapy. His song of DangerDanger makes me love him:D any song of give into emotions and scrap reason and thinning is always a lot of fun :D. Sprout needs o learn friendship and to control his power and he would be an okay pony.
If this movie gains a TV series (with the 2D animation style), I can imagine Sprout slowly (and I mean "s l o w l y") maturing enough to be open-minded. Baby steps. I mean, just because he's accepting to Unicorns and Pegasi, it doesn't mean he'll automatically be accepting to other species.
Sprout's encounter with Sirens: They're evil because they can hypnotize you by singing!
Sprout's encounter with Kirins: They're evil because their honesty will hurt ponies' feelings and could trigger other species!
Sprout's encounter with Thestrals (I assume): They're evil because they eat meat... it could be pony flesh!
An actual Thestral: --_-- Um, not all Thestrals eat pony flesh. Although, there are some in special covens...
The Kirin (in question) could take a vow of silence. Both out of respect and will choose to not speak until all of this "blind hatred" is finally put to rest.
The Sirens could be reincarnations of the Dazzlings, and they feel like their ancestors' wrongdoings are their "responsibility now"; to symbolize real people "sharing the burden(s)" of their ancestors.
Possibly be a main villain
I'd be cool with anti-hero, give him a chance! :)
HE'S NOT A VILLAIN, YOU IDIOT! Stop calling him the v-word. That's ridiculous.
@@0deadx21 he was
Sprout might be fav Male character ever hes great actully im not sure who i like More Sprout or Hitch both are amazing and i look forward to seeing Sprout qgqin i hope him and Sunny Make up as well as Hitch
Here's what I think that what's next for Sprout The first season of the new series has Sprout being a vetitive, predigest, vengeful, and funny bully antagonist (for the first half) until the second half has him meeting the real villain of the first season. Borrowing the idea from Tirak he or she will acted like Sprout's friend understanding his problems and needs while at the same acting like a little Devil on his shoulder telling him what to do to get what he wants while no knowing he's fulfilling the villain's main evil plan. When things seem to go his way for once the villain pulls a backstabbing heel turn that thanks to him the villain completes the plan and see him as deadweight now. With Sprout finally getting the hint his so called friend was no good and his real friends from his childhood was Hitch and Sunny and fixing their broken friendship, stops the main villain's plan, and Sprout becoming the 6th member of the group. By the second season starts his slow build redemption ark and having him being the new Sunset Shimmer with everyone can't standing him while still hating him for what he did the last season. The whole season has him fixing the broken relationship with his mom, making amends for the ponies he hurt, and slowly earning some respect with some of the ponies of his town while still learning lessons. At the season 2 final either the villain returns or a new one shows up his ark will be complete when he does something to make him a hero and fully forgiven for his past actions.
thanks for doing him he a villain that I quite like
He's not a villain, dummy. Ever heard of an antagonist?
here's the thing: he's not really a villain. he's just a misguided, insecure mama's boy who was raised by a xenophobic mare and became a victim of circumstance. sure, he went way too far with turning into the pony version of Kim Jong-Un at the end, but his motivations didn't really scream "evil". 'cause at the end of the day, all he wanted was for his people to be safe since he still saw the other tribes as threats. he just did it the wrong way
I am honestly surprised sprout didnt wind up in jail for his end movie actions, aka destorying Sunny's home and his attack with his giant robot
Either punish everyone or no one. Why should Sprout go to prison, but Sunny, Haven, Pipp and Zipp are allowed to go free? Pretty hypocritical.
@@0deadx21 True Sunny, Zip and Izzy stole from Queen Haven, and yes Sunny tresspassed at the Canterloigc thing. But to the best of my knoweldge that was the wosrt thing she did. Spout however literally destroyed property and very nearly killed people and WAS going to attack others with intent to cause harm.
who noticed this: sunny + all her friends tagging along with her on her adventure makes 5 ponies does this mean that when and if sprout will become good there will be 6 ponies. !!!there are exactly 6 elements 🤯🤯🤯🤯!!!
okay, i decided to rework my original comment to say what I'm actually hoping for the writers to do with Sprout in the show:
1) I hope he does time in jail for his crimes. I'm kinda getting sick and tired of seeing so many animated movies or TV shows just letting their villains/antagonists get off the hook scott-free, despite putting the lives of so many innocent people in danger because of their delusional way of thinking. they committed serious crimes, they should be locked up! so I'm hoping we get to see Sprout behind bars, serving his time and actually changing for the better before he's eventually let out into the public again. i mean, for real: I know he's Hitch's best friend and all, but there's no way Hitch is THAT forgiving, especially when Sprout got so close to actually KILLING Sunny.
2) when he eventually does get let outta jail, I'm hoping for him to have a redemption arc throughout the show where he reflects on his actions, comes to terms with what he did wrong in the movie, and try to prove to everypony in Maretime Bay that he's learning and changing for the better. who knows? he can even end up being the earth pony version of Starlight Glimmer for all we know, but if it does happen, then I really hope it's handled well. i also wanna see what his relationship with Phyllis is like now, and how they'll fix it.
Maybe they'll reform him and he'll join the crew? Idk but it's gonna be hard for Sprout to learn seeing how that's what he's been taught for most of his life from his mother. It'd be very interesting if Phyllis actually learns from her mistakes and accept the changes while Sprout doesn't, starts questioning if all that she tought him was a lie and causing some sort or dynamic feud between the 2! 👀
Sprout's color scheme will fit in with the others very well.
I hope Sprout continues to be put in his place, should he go out of line again, seriously, this mama's boy should've been put in jail for that stunt he pulled while mitch was gone.
i think there is a lot of potential for him to recieve a redemption story, not excusing his behaviour, but maybe after he helps rebuild sunny's ligthouse, maybe then. but who knows at this moment?
I'm wondering if he will be in the upcoming series, or just special episodes. Or, if he is in the series, will it be with another voice actor? Or is Ken Jeong going full in on the series? If he doesn't, will the new voice actor for the series be able to play off ken's role in the movie. I feel like that one question would make a difference in the long run, as well.
i Hope he does, i really love his voice as sprout ! :D
Theory Sproat is a descendent of apple jack
Why do i think Sprout is descended from Big Mac-
Do you think Sprout will become part of the main cast of ponies? Or just a side character? It would be weird to have 3 earth ponies and one Unicorn as part of the new main 6
Honestly I think Sprout might be one of MLPs best villains, even considering G4. I think he surpasses Starlight and Cozy Glow in terms of manipulation and tragedy. He's a morally stunted pony who was never allowed to grow beyond his childish world views and used Societies fears to organize them into a military dictatorship
Have you ever watched a TV show called "Looney Tunes Show" in the show, Bugs and Daffy are roommates and Daffy is not always a hero, but He's usually not an outright villain but sometimes his selfishness can lead him to play the role of an outright evil character? but that's what makes it fun to watch, that's what I see Sprout and Hitch's relationship could be.
Sprout is that person you love to hate. Like I think he would still make trouble but over time he might change his mind about the unicorn and pegasi.
Not true. A character has to be hated by the audience, not liked by them.
@@0deadx21 I'm just saying probably in the series they'll make him change his mind about them, not change his character because let's face it, he was destined to be the asshole.
I really wanna see sprout summoning a old villian (like sombra) from the past like discord did or become possessed by something evil like luna
And then there's me; shipping Sporut and Hitch, wanting this cute fluff between them.
it Be cooler if they were rivals
Sometimes looks are not everything. For example. Ammo belts. Tends to jam, but still more ammunition than standard firearms and looks cool.
spout and his mom reminded me of the fairy godmother and prince charming from shrek 2
You know I wasn’t sure if you were going to make a video about this guy.
Could Sprout become the new Spike? A reoccurring supporting character who starts off as a "butt monkey" comic relief who nevertheless will have opportunities to grow with his own story arcs and character development?
I was just thinking roughly the same thing. I'm looking forward to seeing what the writers do with him.
Okay, one question: WHERE'S IS SPROUT MOM!? We didn't see her in the mlp make your mark special, if she's going to return in chapter two of mlp make your mark sprout might be punished and/or grounded at home or jail, what do you think?
He's MLP's Eric Cartman.
I wish to see bigger and more intimidating bad guy's in the new series. Despite being the mane villain of the movie Sprout was just a minor threat. A major threat would be a magic user cursing marine time bay, an army of robot ponies, a demonic overlord, rampaging giant, power hungry king or at least a jealous pony who wants to fool the mane 5's plans. Any villain they want I don't care as long as it's dark, menacing, helps build up to epic showdowns, and lots of conflict for Sunny
I think he needs to be the 6th member of the mane cast. Then the mane cast will find a 7th member who is a unicorn who had no idea she was a direct descendant of Twilight's bloodline.
Leave G4 out of this.
No jail or dungeon time, that's for sure xD
Honestly, I am not sure what direction they’re going to take Sprout, especially when they should’ve arrest him at the end.
then everyone in town should also be arrested because they were also indoctrinated by Sprout's mom propaganda
True. So, I wouldn’t be surprised that he would have a redemption arc throughout the course of the first season, if not, the first two seasons. Just don’t expect it to be on the same level as Zuko from Avatar.
He was not much of a friend to Sunny. It's likely that Sprout will be stubborn and continue to cling on to his failing traditions from saying mean things about the unicorns and pegasi to trying so hard to trap them challenged only by their magic and flight. No doubt he still hungers for leadership without knowing the responsibility. I find Sprout a lot more likeable than the elitist Diamond Tiara (should shortened to Diara) and a lot less annoying. The last thing Hitch would ever want to do to him is clap him in jail. He may need to learn to be independent from his mother. So many lessons to be learned.
I want Hitch and Sprout to be rivals !
Doe you Think there are more nations in the world of ponies then just eqhestria?
I am glad the movie makers stopped short of dressing the angry mob in white robes with pointed hoods, it seemed they were building up to that when the ponies were marching around wearing the mind shield helmets with the sticks on top. Still, Sprout, if he is used right, will be the character to demonstrate how fear and ignorance, combined with emotional thinking at the expense of logical thinking, can twist your take on reality to the point where you see things all wrong, but genuinely believe your perception is all right. History is full of people, great and small, who did horrible things believing they had to, "for the good of all". I don't believe he is knowingly evil, he just doesn't see that he's wrong, and Phyllis, his mother, having similar beliefs, sets up the potential for discussing how things can get passed down from one generation to the next, along with the lesson that you really do need to research all sides of an issue before making up your mind.
