Then why would a replacement of Opaline have the same name though? Realistically, Opaline would still be born as the unicorn Opaline was not as. In that scenario a corrupted Flurry Heart would just give herself a different name. It would help as the whole Opaline is actually Flurry Heart theory is still rampant despite being disproven. It’s fine as an AU but using an AU Flurry Heart and calling it Opaline makes about as much sense as having an AU Nightmare Moon version of Cadance and calling it Nightmare Moon.
I would also be inclined to agree on that Luster and other characters were discarded to quickly yes, but I wouldn’t say G5’s lore is completely nonsensical outside of the Unity Crystals and the retcon of Earth Pony magic.
