them trying to tie it to g4 was a huge mistake. if it was its own world with its own separate lore it could have been way better. shame that some cute mares like izzy and sunny got fucked by being in the generation of mediocrity.

t. pipp simp

>>41171808
Not surprising. S4's finale should've been the end.

I'd imagine the characters would be reused by later gens anyway and really the people who did watch it will probably reference every so often.
Even stuff like Hitch. As someone who also started later on for G5 I think anyone looking at it from a retrospective will feel quite a bit different anyway.

Definitely a different mood when its not the content of the hour.

>>41171961
The unique aspects in G5 were kinda ass and really there's no way it was escaping the influence, even if it was fully pivoted due to not being able to use G4 stuff.
I feel like people don't really understand that G1 and G3 didn't stick because ultimately they couldn't compete with just the toyline.

it will be forgotten. remembered as "oh yeah.. that was a thing that happened" if ever mentioned. there will be the one rare g5 thread that dies with like 2 replies and thatll be its legacy. no more art or stories. this shit will be 100% dead in the water once official content dries up. 200% once the next gen drops. 1000% if the next gen is any better.

>>41172132
>anyone on the street
no one will know what G4 even is

>>41171626
Not.

>>41172239
Also didn't really express my general point; I'd imagine its "notable" aspects will be absorbed into later stuff and it'll essentially be a husk.
A random average gen that happened right after FiM. G5 won't be much of a discussed thing directly post mortem. It'll be the source of a stray few ideas.

Like its not actually as aggressively bad as people want it to be. But it also sure as shit isn't notably good either.

it won't be.

>>41173822
Do they even have the rights for Grogar? The character rights are a spaghetti clusterfuck between Hasbro and Discovery.

>>41174830
There’s not any evidence of any rights issues existing at all, is there? I saw one Brony analyst try to make this excuse for G5, because the choices that this abomination of a series seem totally unjustifiable otherwise. But no, the writers are just THAT shit. At least as far as I can tell.

But anyway, even if there were rights issues, Grogar was in G1. His design might not be able to match his G4 counterpart perfectly, but he can certainly appear.

>>41174841
>twisharter noises

>>41174830
Grogar is a g1 thing so yes they could use it just like they had a g1 tirek cameo

>>41171723
Came to post this.

It will be remembered as the most overhated generation.

>>41174841
Both Tirek and Grogar visually are absurdly close to their G1 counterparts.
Its pretty obvious that G1 doesn't have weird legal issues, the only one that comes to mind is the name thing and thats because G1 ponies had names like fucking Firefly.
Not because Hasbro is in some weird license trouble.

They literally wouldn't be allowed to use a centaur called Tirek or a evil goat called Grogar if there was some airing issue. Much less ones that basically carry over most of their features and color scheme.

>>41175733
Though actually thinking on it, the discovery contract would do it.
That would actually lock out Grogar because he is a FiM character; being a fake-out doesn't change that the design is attached to that name in the series.

Kinda obvious thinking on it.

G5 is the opposite of G4, in the sense that G4 laid a very basic premise of a show about magical ponies living on a fantasy land, and then it hooked you in by making the magical ponies amazing characters and the fantasy land a very unique place with so many intriguing possibilities. G5 on the other hand, lays down the premise of Equestria as a long fallen kingdom, magic is gone, technology is more on par with current day, it's inhabitants are isolated and hostile to one another, you have a varied cast full of interesting characters, then it doesn't do shit with it, all the characters became flat and the world became generic too.
In short, G5 will be seen as another example of Hasbro intentionally fucking themselves up for no good reason

>>41176377
This. People who don't follow the franchise closely don't even know that G5 exists. I've talked about MLP with normies before and been asked if I watched "the new show" in reference to FiM as opposed to G1. A few kids will grow up to be a little nostalgic for it but that's it. The fandom will almost entirely drop this G5 shit within a year or two after it ends.

>>41177780
Well get to it already! We're long overdue.

>>41171626
It literally won't be. Not even fucking around and I adore Pipp Sunny and Misty. Look, G4 is barely in the public consciousness anymore and it was a massive phenomenon. Not even G4 will be remembered 20y from now except by those who were into it.
>but it was big and adult men liked it so that was phenomenal it was a massive cultural shift!!
No. It happened during a massive cultural shift but didn't cause it and wasn't even the most important event or indicator of the shift.
Yes. It was a fresh thing. But the zeitgeist is moving so quickly that even though it was culturally odd to the normies at the time, things are changing too fast. Being into a kids show isn't even a big deal anymore. So G4 barely holds relevance now.

G5 wasn't big enough and only had any traction because it was the same IP as G4 but even that isn't enough for it to be big.

Ironically, it failed to make its mark

>>41177846
This. Just like pony life. The hype train has no speed and only moves at a crawl when fresh coal is loaded. When the steam runs out its over.

From what I've heard from an old guy who liked My Little Pony since G1, G5 is to G4 what G2 was to G1.

>>41178913
That's giving G1 a lot of undue credit
Like 100% undue credit

>>41178913
How can it be a successor to g2 when there was no g2 show

>>41179445
There was a G2 game.

>>41178913
It kinda is kinda isn't; G2 basically got hit with being a lot of where they tried to shift the franchise very hard. G5 is still relatively close to G4.
G2 had non classic ponies, >no show so they could focus on a game(G5 has games but they were never a focus from hasbro) and started when it was already SoL hell for the MLP setting.

The only real comparison are the toys, which yeah sure. The always hooves and distinctly not shetland looking pony designs are very G2. But those did exist in G1(male ponies in G1 had exposed hooves) as an option technically so eh.
Extra articulation came back which is something G2 liked to do, albeit in an insane way. But like most G2 things it was sorta in later lines anyway.

If Hasbro is crazy enough, expect G4 reboot as money grab as soon G5 ends.

>>41183563
>G4 reboot
Isn't it just Pony Life?

>>41183563
I don't think this is as wacky or desperate as implied.
Hasbro clearly wanted to do a reboot for G5 before pivoting due to probably the contract.
And while a lot of G5s wacky elements already came from that era; a lot of that can be blamed on it being the series after FiM.
But if they do it for G6, suddenly just reusing the base more wholesale is more viable because FiM is fucking old now. Well older.

I don't even think Hasbro would have to be desperate to try. Its also not really what I'd describe as crazy as long as we mean early FiM.
Which is a pretty loose baseline. I don't think we're getting another unique cast if they can use the mane six again.

>>41183551
Ehh, Hasbro has historically tried to back their bigger properties and G5 was pretty successful for a period; and literally all toy franchise are kinda eating it right now.
G5 has the excuse of being within the norm of current trends. Its also notable that Hasbro pulled out on it way too quickly to actually coincide with G5s fall.
There's a sort of element of them trying to either wait for something or a total lack of faith in G5 itself basically from 2022.

>>41171808
The magic started at s5 for me so I don't remember a lot of s1-s4.

I enjoyed Honest Apple a lot more too. AJ's "honesty" had me dying, one of the funniest episodes.

Perfect Pear might have hit harder for me if AJ was more "involved". I would have liked to see AJ's relationship with them, how she has handled growing up without them, stuff like that. I love Dashie's parent episode way way more because we got a glimpse of Dash's early life and how her parents shaped her to be the person she is today. With Perfect Pear it felt like I learned nothing new about AJ. The episode was like hey these are AJ's parents, now you know, bye.

Honest apple is worth it just to see AJ getting taken down a peg

Probably in a similar way to how Voyager, DS 9, and Discovery is remembered compared to TOS and Next Generation. I'm sure it will have its fans, and occasionally get referenced in future generations, along with maybe getting looked back on more fondly in a few years. But it will never live up to how big G4 was, and wont be the first thing you think of when you think of the franchise.

>>41187455

>>41187455
DS9 is actually insanely popular still

>>41186540
I mean the case of distinction on what people even consider a new gen is vague at best.
Keep in mind people and hasbro themselves were calling the leak "G5" and that was literally just a redesigned mane 6 and some new ideas slapped on.

So a reboot and G6 based on that precedent could be one and the same.

So I've never seen the show. I downloaded the "S6" cause it said it had Spike there. I uh, don't really like it. FiM had charming characters; all these ones seem to be lesser copies. Like, why didn't they just try to make their own unique characters? Was Gillian Barrows lacking in ideas? Also, is the ending of the show really the tiger going through the portal, and that's it? The wiki doesn't mention anything else. Is the show really ending on a cliffhanger?

>>41212570
No there's also the special which is basically Allura's(the tiger) showcase. Its literally just season 7 but since it was canceled at that point its a special.
Then TYT is technically the continuation beyond that point, but its still also half filler. At some point I suppose someone is going to have to some sort of list for the future but man.
Being reliant on TYT is hell.

Most of Gen 5s cast can be and generally is distinct but sometimes yeah the writing really defaults and some of that is because these were originally written as just a reboot mane six(as in literally the same characters but in a new continuity).
Also the quality of a lot of characters just falls off a cliff beyond New Generation(the movie) because this was a tangled web of development and it feels like some character traits were just never mentioned to the other branches.

>>41212581
>Sole character traits
Like what?

>>41213047
I don't even know what that means in this context? Nor how you'd even articulate that as it wouldn't really make sense from a cloning perspective to go for one trait.
Going out of your way to avoid traits isn't going to make interesting characters either. Nor did I imply their traits were completely detached, just that it wasn't really "running out of ideas".
Make Your Mark just happens to have very shallow versions of them, Izzy is Pinkie because the rest of her context is kinda gone. Zipp is quite literally just one of Sunny's main character traits but it ran of ft. some vestigial rainbow dash.
Sunny has no character traits because for some reason they didn't like overlap with the Zipp update(in the movie Zipp has very little going on so it makes sense to an extent) and her being an adventurer trying to spread ideas is dead alongside it.
Hitch also has no character though really he was always sorta shallow, just happens to be a weak bitch after the movie whereas he was proactive in the movie.
Pipp doesn't really have a good analog, though her character varies from basically just references to pretty fun. Kinda failing to describe why I enjoyed her generally so er.

MYM is pretty consistently shit about writing characters honestly, TYT season 1 is bizarrely enough decently good at it a good chunk of the time. The movie is also like half half, Izzy, Sunny and Hitch are at their peaks but Pipp and Zipp are kinda just there.
TYT is like half power Izzy, the part where being a sperg trying to cheer people up isn't exactly an accepted action is there though. Izzy is basically a sad clown character in full.
Zipp is more sperg than athlete, also the whole princess thing is important when the writing is active obviously.

Too bad TYT looks like shit and has five minute episodes. And Season 2 basically suffered from huge degradation and is currently doing jack shit. They're still setting up ideas but they sure aren't using them.

>>41217642
I wouldn't be shocked if it was due to hasbro absorbing Kenner at the time and thus the new toy designers just wanting to stick out. Though "wanted to stick out" could just be the tale in general; this was the second series so a more drastic shift makes some sense. Though ultimately it was a risk that didn't pay off. The video game only thing also points to this idea that G2 was them throwing shit at a wall. The "decline" of MLP was not like today, since obviously while sorta amusing G1s adventure era obviously was not a cultural juggernaut. And the later SoL era was obviously even less so, even if Hasbro pushed that shit for two gens after that.

NTA but post-g3 toys are smaller, less detailed, and many have low quality hair that starts to disintegrate after ten years. Also, unlike earlier gens, there are only toys of a limited amount of characters.

>>41220888
>low quality hair that starts to disintegrate after ten years
I didn't even know that was a thing

>>41221409
Oh its real, actually G3 had some cheaper toys that do it too. It has to do with the material the hair is made of. Basically you just check via water; the good stuff will obviously get "wet" but synthetics don't absorb water.
Also its a smidge more complex than you'd think, G4 might actually be the more consistently cheap gen than 5 toyline wise and in general sometimes "good hair" is used in either. I've definitely seen it more consistently in 5 though.

G3 also started the limited amount of characters thing by its end point really.

Well there was the idea of the entire landscape being altered over hundreds of years, but instead of the ponies finding things related to the past, they just stayed in the three main cities while Opaline did all of her scheming.

Very flawed but understandably so after the nationwide hit that was Friendship Is Magic. Which garnered worldwide fame, G5 didn't really have much of a chance and I feel like people will grow sympathetic to that after some time passes.

S5 was the peak. Not in quality, but in popularity.

I can understand why with S6 burnout on Starlight episodes, shame the setup was so good but they fucked it in the end

s5-7 is the peak in quality.

Not really. It grew right after S3 ended, peaked right when S4 started, and then began to decline as S4 continued on.
>but it nearly returned in late 2014
It came back because S4 was finished and also happened to finish on a completely shark-jump moment of Twilight fighting Tirek in the first true combat scene in the show which garned some buzz, but regardless, it did not reach its peak of popularity and still presents a downward trend. Nearly regaining popularity is not a good thing if it falls off right after.

I'm not saying they were the worst or even bad seasons in general (they were alright) and they had a few episodes in each season that were really good, but they are definitely not the peak lol. Nothing beats Season 1 and 2 and the community that had formed around those seasons (and was subsequently lost when it abandoned their qualities) is a testimony to that.

S1 and 2 are good because they were not written for the adult audience

>>41238321
>>starlight glimmer (the worst fucking character)
No wonder why you are a sad one.

>>41238511
Starlight was only made to fill the role that Twilight left behind of being the awkward gifted nerd that was still learning friendship. Unfortunately for Starlight, she lacked all the cute innocence of Twilight because Starlight is already magically powerful and tries to be a "girl boss", which ends up making her fucking annoying on top of being pointless.

>>41238815
>Starlight was only made to-
Have any other schizophrenic headcanons?
She's a completely different character to Twilight, serving a different purpose.
>"girl boss"
Meaningless buzzword
>annoying
Just your stupid opinion. Some people find some m6 annoying too.

>>41238853
>headcanon
Tell me how Starlight is not awkward, gifted, a nerd, or still learning friendship when she appeared. You can't, because that's what she is, which just so happens to be what Twilight was before she became a princess and was forced by writers to drop those traits.

>>41238891
You forgot to mention they're also both unicorns and purple in your surface level assessment.

Starlight is older and more mature, she's at a later stage of her life compared to Unitwi. Their personalities are very different. The kinds of friendship lessons she is learning are fundamentally different on top of having a teacher that is more involved in the process. The reasons why she needs to learn friendship and her arc as a student are different.

Was it really that great or it's just matter of being in the right time? I've watched ENT on TV as a kid and liked it. I've played Star Trek Elite Force game (also as a kid) and decided to watch whole VOY because of that and it had some good moments. I've tried to watch TOS and found it kinda boring and jumped to TNG which is also kinda boring at start but I guess it just need time to warm up.
Is there something wrong with me or is it because I was late for party? Not trying to start shit but really curious.
Also randomly read some trivia about DIS and only out of it it looks like shit. Something like all Warp travel is gone because of some teenager mental breakdown, really?

G5 isn't even a proper sequel. It really doesn't explore g4. Beast Wars did the whole sequel-in-the-far-future bit better

>>41226528
You didn't watch g4 for lore, you watched it fot fuzzies in your belly. It's primarily a kids show, and you wanting to have more lore means you saw g5 as something to improve upon g4

That's not happening, and desu g6 won't be doing it either. It will throw you a bone by mentioning Izzy or sth, but ultimately it will be it's own thing, which just won't be as good as you hoped, because g4 was a lighting in a bottle

>>41256247
>lightning in a bottle

the weak as hell series that tried to piggyback off the success off the previous gen and failed and had a bad 2d version of it for no reason, it had potential, but they dropped the whole thing flat on it's face after the movie and twilight showing up

>>41256247
it was a mix sometimes, if g4 didn't care about lore, redeeming changelings would be pointless, introducing kirins, having a ehole movie with lots of lore also

G4 was actually funny because it has unintentional racism. Remember the buffaloes? Remember when they first introduced Zecora as the magical negro trope character? Remember Gilda who solidified the notion that griffins are ass holes? Remember when Fluttershy thought dragons are sluts? Remember when the three pony tribes hated each other? G4 wasn't woke. It was funny because it had so many races in it so it had so many opportunities for racism. G5 only had 3 the three tribes and they're spouting racism is le bad. That's lame.

I get shit for it but I feel about the same with S4 after. The early seasons tried harder to be cute and safe, but my favorites were always the episodes where you have some harder hitting moral dilemma or expansive story. That doesn't mean I hate the early seasons though, I think G4 was a pretty complete product overall. There were stories I wanted to see, but I liked that it ended where it did instead of going on to have 10 more seasons where there's almost nothing left to cover and with the way the entertainment industry in general was starting to go to shit.
G5 is so shit in my view because even the worst parts of G4 still carried the identity of what MLP was, G5 is like some bastard attempt to turn MLP into a modern soulless childrens cartoon with no respect to the things that set MLP apart from the rest.
