They couldn't have pulled a finale out of their asses last minute. It's not like they had voices and animatics ready for that. They just finished whatever was available.

It could have been worse. They could have introduced a new character or concept. Instead it's just a comfy beach episode (clearly more at home in its original late June airdate) with some returning characters to kind of close the loop neatly. Out of everything they could have released last, it's the least damageable.

It’s less of a high tide and more of a low ebb. Like sand in the surf, it washes away slowly, not with a wave, but with a ripple, barely leaving a trace.

yes, the leaks did say tyt got cancelled at the beggining of the year and everyone stopped working on it, that means no time to make a finale or even a decent cliffhanger
every single thing will be left unanswered until some fag that worked on there comes out and tells people what was supposed to happen, or at least jow far did the plans go

better obviously, loreshit was the bane of g5
it killed mym and it killed tyt s2
all these retards had to do was make ponies doing ponies thing without all of this "EVERYTHING IS MAGIC" shit and they would have been fine
instead they opted for shitty lore
skyros is shit
sunny's mom being alive and missing is shit
the brighthouse being alive is shit

Lore on its own wouldn't be an issue if they knew how to introduce it and make it feel natural like FiM used to do at some point.

But this show can't do lore nor SoL. It was just a waste of time from beginning to end, so I'm glad it got such a Whatever ending.

Nah, some of the best episodes used lore to its advantage to further the themes, even on the SoL episodes

>The slice of life season one was good
That shit was never good. TYT (even from season 1) was slop regardless of what it tried to do.

>it was not built to deliver lore
I can't exactly argue with that considering TYT was meant as a distraction, but MYM was the big one for lore and such, which is why their episodes were much longer than five minutes (it still was shit regardless so it doesn't really matter).

But anyway, lore isn't inherently bad and you're a retard for thinking so.

>>41548648
>some of the best episodes used lore to its advantage to further the themes, even on the SoL episodes

And I don't mean as "Using lore" as serious episodes or ones with a lengthy explanation about the origins of a character or location. A new species IS lore, knowing about an in-universe festivity IS lore, understanding how certain locations work by just seeing them in action IS lore. Anything that expands our understanding of the world and its history is lore.
>>
>>41548178
>"We'll it was fun while it lasted"

Sunny Starscout's last words
>>
>>41548178
So basically it ended on a light farewall party episode just like Hanazuki's disco party.

However the ending of Izzy taking it all away and Sunny saying "It was fun while it lasted" still feels like they might have modified something.

Does the shit Izzy create even come in toy form or Hasbro once again refuses to communicate anything like a bunch of antisocial savages just like refusing to give full completed seasons? Cancellation in mid season is something only the incompetents of the incompetents do. A normal company doesn't do this unless they want nobody to work with them anymore. It's basically job suicide/industry suicide/employer suicide.
I'm surprised nobody blacklisted Hasbro. You don't do that shit unless you want to get severely sued.

how can any adult say FiM's lore is good when villains and other characters show up without any prior mention or even a hint
then you have retarded shit like the apples being the ones to found the ponyville while still being poor
>That shit was never good. TYT (even from season 1) was slop regardless of what it tried to do.
wrong
but enough about mym that piece of shit has zero redeeming qualities

Many of them were from far lands, some were literal children and various do have a history recorded that's from a long time ago which is no longer relevant to present day. They won't mention or hint at literally everything from the first moment, else they'd be no mystery to what comes next.

>you have retarded shit like the apples being the ones to found the ponyville while still being poor

Bunch of stuff could've happened between the foundation and the present day that was never explained, and there are surely people in real life who have made made great foundings yet they didn't make as much usage of their resources as they deem fit. And while the apple family isn't rich, they're not poor either. They most likely spend most of their funds on keeping the apple farm.

>wrong
Nah, I'm right. Tell your Tale is shit and you're defending Calarts slop. Those who enjoy it are either retards who don't know better or delusional trying to convince themselves than what they're watching is good.

nice cope faggot it has not been that long because this all happened within granny smith's lifetime
yet another reason why they should have never gone into detail about the founding of ponyvilel
old money is a very powerful thing and has survived literal destruction of the countries
your family does not just suddenly poor just because you run farm
in fact you should have more money because you own land and influence food production

Transformers is in the exact same state as MLP in regards to their media; hell TF media has been in a rut for 12 years now, you guys have only had objectively-mediocre shit since S6 began in 2016. The only difference is that TF has a toyline currently that fans actually care about.
Hell, even G.I. Joe has a toyline that its fans care about.

I watched every episode of FiM season 2-9 live as they aired for the first time. It was legitimately depressing as we hit the Haber years. We watched the mane 6 grow up into something ugly, old, and unlikable. They stopped feeling like friends and started being bitter colleagues on
a quest to spread friendship as a political identity.

G5 was a huge release of tension, allowing me to fall in love with ponies again with a new main cast that were genuinely friendly and innocent. MYM's character rigs were gorgeous and made me believe in 3D even if everything else was low budget trash. While TYT was of lesser interest because of it's runtime, it still had some fun moments. Overall I'm not sad that it's over but I am happy that we got to experience this cast. Here's to what may be possibly the final new cast in the MLP franchise as we look toward and endless slew of hollow FiM reboots.

I guess that was a fitting end for such a forgettable episode if it had to be last

It really just felt like “what is the fastest bullshit way to get into an animated scene of random ponies enjoying a waterpark for 70% of this episode?” No character moments, no plot, just “haha woo yeeee woooow water is so fun hehehe wooo look at us go 3 year old audience who can’t understand humor so we won’t have any jokes, see the smile and hear the laughing!

Tirek and the Chimaera and the bug bear all escaped Tartarus in “its about time” in season 2 and we didn’t see it or understand completely till season 4 and then 5 and then really the end of season 8 (that episode did fuck lore in other stupid ways)

And Grogar was mentioned in a flurry of emotions in season 7 and didn’t get picked back up till season 9

I think mlp actually has an amazing amount of lore but a lot of it is unspoken but implied and in the background.

Things like the origins of the chimaera creatures didn’t need to be in there but they were, technically we’ve been seeing the work of grogar ever since the manticore in episode 2

Not that most of this stuff was probably pre planned or even any of it, but I admire them working with what they already had, clearly some people cared

In G5 nobody cared, it was all magic for the sake of magic with no consistency or purpose and things that were obvious questions never got answers while random bullshit kept happening instead, considering G5 was supposed to be more serialized than episodic they let plot threads hang for what felt like hundreds or years, I fucking forgot that comet existed and allura disappeared so they could play at the carnival that fucked her ass for 4 months instead of showing her, nothing in G5 mattered at all after Opaline and stuff hardly made sense back then, G4 is golden and made bronies and this board exist, G5 is made specifically for 3-6 year olds but we were doomed to watch it only off the heels of G4 and nobody at all would have cared about it if it wasn’t for fim

It's still unfortunate that G4 ended on a dumbfuck massive timeskip right at the end when it could've been left open for the series to have movie continuations at a later date.
It's also unfortunate that G5 had the tedious task of being related to and somewhat retconning the G4 timeskip finale (Giraffelight).

Transformers had over 12+ generations/shows with the central main character being Optimus Prime or Rodimus Prime.
MLP FIM S2-S9 was a special retardation on the level of Lego Ninjago except even Legos have different shows like Monkie Kid going on.
G5 by comparison was a normal generation that ended decently in 4 years, but it took forever just to get barely 2 seasons out for MYM & TYT.

That's literally all they had in common though, and even that little wasn't guaranteed if you include the anime or Beast Wars shows. It means even less when you consider how different each Optimus was:
>80s show is an idealistic fun uncle. >Armada is, deep down, addicted to brawling and war, but fights hard to keep it under lock and key, but as such sometimes struggles to understand basic morality while still holding himself to those ideals.
>Animated is a young, disgraced military flunkee who can be a bit awkward; trying to tie together his dysfunctional repair crew, hopefully someday growing into the leader he always could've been. More in common with BW Optimus Primal, but if he were a decade younger in human years.
>Bay OP is just fucking tired of this shit.
And I could go on.

Imagine if you will, that every time MLP rebooted, it was a completely different genre. One year it's a comfy slice of life, couple years later it's rebooted into an animated Sentai series. Then the next it's a serious drama about the characters in their 30s-40s. And after that it were a fast-paced comedic sitcom. Each iteration, having a near completely different cast, save for a couple too-marketable faces. BUT: both G1 MLP and FiM also still exist in this world.
For the first 30 years of its life, that's what Transformers was like. But around the mid-2010s, they decided creativity was lame actually, and that they should fixate on marketing and recycling the two most famous and IP-milkable iterations of the franchise, while gutting the writing department and making generic garbage that only looks like what you used to enjoy.

That's what I meant by TF and MLP media being in the same state. FiM gradually devolved in writing quality, and after it ended, Hasbro only wanted to either repackage FiM like in Pony Life and stuff, or repackage FiM and scratch off the serial numbers with G5. Thats what's happening with modern TF media too, they just ape G1/Bay aesthetics and hope you'll ignore the shit writing and cheap visuals. The only difference is we have comparitively way less MLP iterations pre-2010s than TF iterations, so really only G1 MLP is left notably standing out; meanwhile TF has decades' worth that nerds still territorially bicker about to this day.

Don't give me that shit, you have HasbroPulse, HasLab, HasCon, your franchise is among the ones that Hasbro decided to focus on ("focusing on fewer, bigger brands"). While MLP is basically in the trash can at this point.
>>
>>41551128
I watched every episode of FiM season 2-9 live as they aired for the first time. Aside from Faust era, every season was progressively worse (except s04 was better than s03, and s07 was better than s06, but that's because s03 and s06 were shit). That said, MLP: FiM is still better than 100% of other cartoon shows. That's because Faust's foundation was extremely strong, Haber&Co couldn't break the bedrock FiM stands on even when he tried.
>>
>>41552759
>you have HasbroPulse, HasLab, HasCon
Hasbro's webstore where they sell all their toy brands, a FOMO scam that I keep falling for, and a thing I don't know about. Sorry, how do these relate to the discussion..? What's the link that I'm missing?

And okay, but like. Saying they're focusing on it in an investor's presentation is one thing, improving the quality of associated media is another.
Like I said, the ONE good thing TF and G.I. Joe each have going for them are their action figure lines. That said, half the reason TF's is doing well is because they're recently digging deep into the barrel for characters/iterations that they've ignored and never made toys of before. That barrel's gonna empty one day; might not be soon, but it'll come. Maybe a decade from now. If they don't come up with a GENUINELY GOOD new show/movie/comic by then, TF's doomed.
As far as I'm aware, I don't even think Hasbro produces any MLP toys in-house? I think everything's outsourced to other manufacturers already, no? Again, I think they should. I'd kill for good articulated pony figures. Get into pie-throwing contests with my TF galactic warlords and interdimensional demigods. Hell yeaaaah.

What the fuck does that even mean? The "main" MLP toys are never licensed out. Never. Licenses are for things like plushies, suggestive anime girl figurines, half-dissected pones, etc. When they licensed out Littlest Pet Show toys, it means they considered LPS brand truly dead. MLP is not at that point yet, and likely never will.

Man this was just starting to get good - they finally gave Izzy something to totally differentiate her from Pinkie Pie (her creativity creating stuff she dreamed about.)

Music has been good, animation isn't terrible. It's just shitty ass Hasbro mismanagement - the same thing that killed FiM (from being as good as earlier seasons.)

They NEED to get another Faust creator who has a lot of control and care for the brand, they NEED to bring back 22 minute episodes and NEED to bring back weekly releases. That is it. The rest will fix itself. Fuck sakes.

Tried to watch the "show" but most of the time stuff comes from or go to nowhere. Is like they can't manage the time to stuff to happen and suddenly and without any direction.

Of course figures should come with a few accessories, but they should be fitting ones, not whatever the fuck this is:
Marketing it as an action line for little boys was a mistake, they don't care. And when you're trying to get people into your new toyline, maybe immediately warming shelves with the fucking furry characters nobody wants, to such a degree that the M6 were never even completed, is a terrible idea. That's what makes toy companies bleed money, ask Marvel Legends and SW Black Series anytime Hasbro's contractually obligated to make toys of a shitty new film nobody liked.

And who the heck's asking for Celestia/Luna to have articulated manes? I just want the same articulation as the normal ponies bruh. Now you're making up excuses.

Why the hell WAS G5 made?
The more i think about it the less sense it makes.

G4 has always been the most popular iteration in the West, and it's been blowing up substantially in China over the past few years too. In contrast to the low quality toddler trash we've always gotten from Hasbro in the West, a lot of China's G4 merch is legitimately compelling for fans as well. But you can't buy it in the West because... BECAUSE????? Because fuck us?

They unceremoniously killed Equestria Girls, pushed Pony Life out to kill some time, then shoved G5 out the door three years ago only to just watch like retards while it floundered and died from a complete lack of any serious support from the people who insisted that G5 was a necessary next step for the franchise.
Was it? G5 is dead the years later like it never even happened and Hasbro seems like they are trying to find some excuse to revive at least part of G4, if not for us then for China... Because fuck us I guess?

What the fuck are they doing?
Why did they even make G5?
Are they just trying to sabotage the company so China will buy them out for pennies?
How is this not a blatant violation of fiduciary responsibility?
What the fuck is going on?

More enjoyable when you can see the whole thing in a couple days, and not having to agonize as long over whether plot-twists to happen/be addressed, versus waiting for an episode a week like originally. Makes it feel more satisfying.

He's hoping people who do will join his project for free.

Flamingo1986 actually pulled it off, bronies worked for him for free, despite him being a huge piece of shit who deleted the episode when it became inconvenient. Because both 1 and 2 was "true" for him.

I cannot wait until G6. It might be another failure within the MLP franchise. Unless they are going to reboot G4 with it somehow...

Inconvenient how?

It looks like a pink cartoon poop. Like someone squeezed out a dollop of soft-serve onto her bald-ahh head

I think you need to see a doctor if that's your first thought. You might have bleeding in there.

Is the Vogelfag in the room with us right now? ;)

>No idea
No you moron, he's asking HOW am I ruining it.
Once again the Greek faggot cannot shut the fuck up. Do you persian rape babies ever stop yelling at your own inadequacy? Unlike you I actually have smart things to say about each episode because unlike you I learned English at a young age and got it ingrained in me and also I'm not stupid like most persian rape babies.

Cow slop had about as many threads as FF. I was there. I remember being very disappointed when Wranglum still kept his male voice instead of being arsed to switch to a female voice to match his transformation.

Go ahead, make a FF thread. I won't post. Watch as it dies in 50 posts.
Always trying to find a scapegoat, always trying to find witches to hunt. You assbackwards eastern europeans are hilarious with how stuck in the 1600s you are. Americans are more civilized than you.

Also one more bump for G5's last episode thread.

Oh no, it's here
