Misty is being given a focus so we can develop her character since leaving Opaline. We’ve had a Movie and Tell Your Tale episodes focusing on Sunny Starscout. It’s time to explore the new Misty since she’s a deep and complex character with plenty of room for interesting development. I think putting a focus on Misty makes alot of sense.
Furthermore Sunny herself said that the Brighthouse reveled her the new room as a sign that she belongs in the Crystal Brighthouse. Plus I think that Sunny Starscout would be very sad to hear you whinge about Misty.

First of all, just because we’re a smaller fanbase than the g4 fandom, doesn’t mean that we should be a hivemind. If someone is upset by an episode, they should share why. I think it’s constructive to everyone involved, especially if show staff, on a miniscule chance, should see this thread.
Now, I’m complaining because it feels like Misty gets writer favoritism. Misty has moved into the Brighthouse for less than 10 episodes, and she gets chosen over another unicorn and an alicorn that have been living there for so much much longer. What did Misty do to earn this extraordinary privilege? It was just dropped on her lap, no questions asked, just because. Meanwhile, Misty owes the very magic she used in this episode to Sunny’s quest to unify ponykind and efforts to keep magic alive in Chapter 1 of Make Your Mark. All things the m5 had to earn and had to do on their own volition, against the will of 3 different societies.
Here’s a hypothetical question for you. Let’s say that there’s a new 3D MLP G5 show. In this show, Misty’s spellbook is gone, never mentioned, and had never existed. How would that make you feel? Would you be irritated? Upset? Would you think that’s unfair for Misty? The funny thing is, this scenario has already happened. With Sunny’s Locket from Make Your Mark. Watching a character get a special magical gift, while another character loses theirs, stings. I believe that Sunny Starscout, in contrast to Misty, suffers from writer disdain/antipathy.

I wouldn’t mind that. I guess we’ll know the next time we see the room. Hopefully there’ll be a payoff that’s worth it.

Right, that’s what I can’t shake off too. There’s so much lost potential emanating around this episode, considering that Misty’s the only main protagonist they ever write about now, apart from the other mane five ponies’ stories in recent episodes. Might give this a better first impression since that’s showered with expanded G4 lore everywhere, including the smooze and Tirac from G1. Better safe than sorry. But either way, in Izzy’s encouraging words: Never know until you try.
