== Related to the above WMG, the Elements of Harmony are related to the Matrix of Leadership. ==
 
== Equestria is the distant future of [[Hercules (Disney1997 film)||Hercules]]. ==
Long ago, during a golden age of powerful gods and extraordinary heroes (the greatest and strongest being Hercules), a terrible set of events occurred. First, Hercules, having lived his mortal life, died and joined the gods, but his dear friend Pegasus was left behind. Worse, without its grand hero, ancient Greece fell to a series of natural disasters and unnatural monsters. Perhaps this was when Discord, the grand spirit of Chaos, came about and challenged the gods; or, perhaps the combined forces of monsterkind snuffed out mankind, and so threatened godkind.
 
Line 58:
The universes of each gen are named (using "World" for the planet because we don't know the name of the planet):
* World 1: The universe of G1, which contains the [[My Little Pony TV Specials]], [[My Little Pony and Friends]], and [[My Little Pony Tales]].
* World 2: The universe of G2, which contains ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Gardens]]'' (a video game, not a TV series, but still takes place in this universe).
* World 3: The universe of [[My Little Pony G 3|G3]].
* World 4: The universe of G4, which contains ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''.

== Equestria was originally an living environment experiment at [[Half Life|Black Mesa]]. ==
Equestria is a test to see if a better, more peaceful world could be bio-engineered using nano-technology to create Pony-Human-Xen hybrids. During the Resonance Cascade, the experimental ponies were transported to an uninhabited dimension with no other sentient life (thus explaining things like the Parasprites and the Everfree Forest. Equestria is no longer a Black Mesa testing facility, thus "bad" things exist to an extent.) Celestia was originally a Black Mesa employee who was given near (but not actual) god-like power for the purpose of making sure a revolt did not happen at the base. Due to the time and the transportation, she has gone insane, believing she is an actual Physical God. Thus, Half-Life 3 involves Gordon Freeman being "hired" by the G-Man to go to Equestria to snap Celestia out of her insanity in order to fulfill the G-Man's unknown plan while the Equestrian equivalent to the HECU hunt Freeman down. Half-Life 2: Episode 3 has been delayed for so long because [[Valve SoftwareCorporation]] is having difficulty ending Half-Life 2's plot while beginning Half-Life 3's.
* Guess that explains all the ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'' crossovers, seeing as they're the same 'verse.
* Ellen Mclain said in a recent interview she would love to do voice work for the show. A crossover with Half Life, Portal, or even ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' may be more likely than we think.
Line 108:
* It's also a nice coincidence that Celestia's cutie mark looks exactly like the white Mana symbol.
 
== Equestria is a [[Warhammer 4000040,000|former Daemon World of Tzeentch now taken by Nurgle]]. ==
Okay...

== Ponies were a failed experiment by the race that created [[Warhammer 4000040,000|the Orks to combat the Necrons]]. ==
Ponies were the first effort to create a battle race to combat the necrons. They illustrate some of the traits that would later by incorporated into the Orks such as innate magic (which explains how Pinkie Pie can 'just be Pinkie Pie': she's channeling a prototype form of WAGGGGH! energy and much like Orks, she just does does things because she thinks they should work that way). A cutie mark is a genetic stamp of sort indicating the pony in question's society role to be discovered over time. One can presume if the Brain Boys kept this gimmick in their later project, Meks would have cutie marks of wrenches and trukks.
