My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic season 10 (Johnsonverse)

The tenth and final season of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic began airing on October 13, 2019 and ended with the two-part finale "The Future Awaits" on May 1, 2020.
This season, which takes place after the Season 9 finale "The Last Problem", saw some changes, such as a new intro sequence reflecting Twilight having become the new ruler of Equestria. Sunset Shimmer from the Equestria Girls series was introduced to the show as a main character (it's explained that Canterlot High School in the human world is on summer vacation in this season). Characters that had been reduced to background roles or even retired such as Babs Seed and Diamond Tiara returned as recurring characters, alongside characters introduced in the 2017 film, notably Tempest Shadow, with their respective actors reprising their roles.
In addition, between Seasons 9 and 10, there was a series of clip shows under the subtitle Friendship is Forever, which aired in the summer of 2019 and take place before "The Last Problem".
Finally, due to this season having a much higher budget, the animation style was changed to the one used in the 2017 film and the 2019 special Rainbow Roadtrip, in a similar vein to how fellow Hasbro series The Transformers changed its art style to that of the movie once production moved from Sunbow to Johnson in 1987.
==Intro==
it starts with Twilight and Spike on the balloon as in the older intros, then Rainbow Dash and the Wonderbolts clearing out the clouds like in the Season 8 intro, though it reveals Canterlot instead of the School of Friendship. Twilight, Starlight, and Sunset are all running to the palace while many characters appear in the background, before Twilight sees her friends and Spike at the door. Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy's animations are unchanged from the Season 8 intro outside of the animation style, before the Student Six, Spike, and many other side and background characters take a picture in front of Canterlot Castle. Spike uses his fire breath to send the picture to the castle, where the Mane Six, Starlight, Sunset, Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and Flurry Heart all look at it.
