Its about to be 2026 A.K.A The Year of the Pony (Horse) that Hasbro is using to build up hype for G6 in 2027.
What are your Hopes, Fears, and Expectations?
>>
I hope for some fun shorts that could set the tone for G6. I fear them testing out a dogshit artstyle. I expect lots of toys for China.
>>
>>42906553
G4's huge popularity in China pushes my theoery further that G6 is a rebooted version of the Mane 6.
>>
>>42906557
Chairman Xi will give Lauren Faust a small studio of 10k Chinese animators to make MLP FIM 2: Friendship Harder
>>
>>42906557
>>42906564
Also 2026 is year of the horse in the chinese zodiac. I wouldn't be surprised if Hasbro is going to be pushing MLP hard in both the west and china.
>>
>>42906530
>Hasbro using opportunities to their benefit
>Ever
Anon, I...
>>
>>42906557
They will make G6, the Chinese will hate it, and pony will die there now that their favorite characters are associated with some slop show. Then Hasbro will say
>"Oops...I did it again baby!"
>>
>>42906567
>I wouldn't be surprised
I'd be surprised.
>>
>>42906637
Same as it ever was, right?
>>
Is it too much to ask for a G4 slice of life reboot focusing on cute and sexy mares doing cute mare things?
>>
>>42906530

3d cocomelon slop.
>>
>total brand reinvention
>MLP mobile app AI companion
>>
>>42906530
I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.
>>
>>42906637
Except now they'll do it in some runic squiggles, so you wouldn't even be able to call them faggots in return
>>
>>42906643
like what? what would be your ideal episode?
>>
>>42906655
Don't even bother, he's a coomer.

You can't really have a entire episode on that anon. even the most SoL episodes had a bit more in them.

>You can't really have a entire episode on that anon
Wrong! The average G6 episode will be 2 and a half minutes long.

Not encouraging.
>>
>>42906685
What would be cis logic?
>>
>>42906530
Didn't they say the brand reinvention was slated for 2026? Is G6 gonna be a 2 more weeks thing?

Its rumored that G6 will have a higher budget than G5 which means its guaranteed that the Mane 6 are back.
>>
>>42906712
>How bad is it gonna look?
Yeah I definitely think it'll look good.
>>
>>42906716
I hate it, mostly because they had to go with the camp setting.
I remember Stephen Hillenburg being adamantly against Kamp Koral and after he died, Nickelodeon made it anyway.
>>
>>42906719
Remember to thank China for that higher budget.
>>
>>42906729
It's amazing how many execs just assume that kids will never be interested in a setting that isn't exactly like their real life. How are they supposed to care for these characters if they aren't also going to school?

>>42906716
That was scrapped

Of course it has to be like real life. I'm looking forward to a mane cast all coded as different human races. This time, TWO of them are social media influencers. There will be an episode that's meant to be about Palestine.
>>
>>42906669
The very first G3 short was just the mares making ridiculously huge charm bracelets while Razzaroo tries to tard wrangle them.
>>
>>42906648
The 3D isn't the problem. The writing and world building were utter shit in gen5. The characters weren't memorable and the ponies had smartphones and influencer culture. Totally broke any immersion i could have had. I wouldn't want to imagine my OC living in that world. In my mind i would be glad my OC got old and died hundreds of years before gen5

As in corporate media near-universally wants to forget about it as soon as possible and Hasbro is no exception. It's not like BLM where they all felt obligated to show that they're good people well after it was relevant, Palestine is completely irrelevant to mainstream American culture.

Nostalgia is a form of mental illness. You would have said even abysmal dogshit like Row 5 was the best if it was G4's art style.

>>42906878
Are you saying that if row 1 was row 5, he would have said row 5 instead of row 1?
>>
>>42906878
It's not nostalgia to say that all those alternatives are overdesigned. It is possible to do better artstyles than G4 but those are not examples of it.

If Row 5 was G4's artstyle, this board wouldn't exist, this fandom wouldn't exist, and all of us would be in miserable relationships with women because we'd have normal obsessions that get us laid (though ultimately it is not worth it)

Something tells me Hasbroke would absolutely hire shills. They're usually (overwhelmingly even) jeets and not Russians though because Russia is a bad boy cuntry while political relationshits with India is not smeared enough and jeets cost a penny.

It's not a bogeyman, it's just a fact that certain artstyles prevailed there. All those artstyles are very tumblr and they look bad to my eye, I'm glad that you like one of them but it's very much not for me.

They already said they rehired Gretchen Mallorie, the Peppa Pig writer they used for G5, to make G6. G6 is going to be another failure. Hasbro's leadership is retarded and didn't learn anything.

Hasbro will fuck things up eventually. It might be great at first or it might be ass from the start, but Hasbro will always find a way to kill the golden goose. Cartoon Brew was right. Only creator-driven shows can truly thrive. Everything else will be destroyed by the soulless corporation eventually.

Nothing is going right so far in this decade so I'm going to be logical and tell you your worst fears will come true but double it. We need to stop putting blind faith in corporations even before the show is out.

It's unpolished 9 Old Men Disney-era animation emulated digitally, no way in hell, personally I'd for Centaurworld's style but I glaze anything James Baxter is a part of.
>Story-centric writing
Ah yes the dreaded curse of everything must have deep lore and not being episodic which contradicts your last hope of friendship lessons unless they're the filler or unless you want the goal to be they're finally friends at the end in the story. G4 played it smart being episodic and just cutting us straight to the problem than meandering around the plot.

The artstyle looks too "girly" and kitsch, owing to that fresnel-ish shading and the cool color tones. The harsh outlines also give it a cheap-looking "clipart" kind of look, too. Contrast this with a random BG from G4 (picrel); nobody would have MLP, or Strawberry Shortcake, or whatever shlocky preschooler franchise out there as their first guess for the source of this image. Faust very pointedly wanted G4 to be a show that both girls and boys wouldn't be embarrassed to watch, which is one of the reasons why the show was a hit. Does Hasbro really have nobody that knows why G4 was such a hit back in the day? Ffs.

I'm surprised nobody here has addressed the VAs yet. I don't mind newer voice actors since it has been nearly 20 years since FIM - meaning the VAs would be around that many years older, too - and I'd hate to hear the OG cast try to replicate the character voices with old thinning vocal chords. But with that said, I don't think I'd care to continue being a Twifag without Strong's performance, and I can't imagine being a Rarafag without Tabitha. Then again, newer English VAs suck balls with how they all try to sound like their dubbing for an anime, so there's that to account for too.
>>
>>42910983
Yeah, they have to go for a new voice cast but current VAs are usually not the best. I just have to hope they somehow end up with a good crew.
>>
>>42910989
Um why
Multiple VAs have stated they are standing by ready to reprise their roles for fim, even ones who declined to voice in pony life said they were ready for when the real fim came back
>>
>>42906530
i hope whatever they do is full of wonder and is actually cool like G4. I expect and fear that hasbro will just fuck it up cause they hate mlp, when was the last time u saw a fucking mlp toy in the stores? i dont even see g5 trash in stores.

modern American English VAs who are not celebs are literally a part of dicksword cabal that doesn't let actually good voices to shine. Crazy stuff.

Capitalism is a free market, private property rights, and wage labor. Copyright protections do not invalidate any of those elements.
>>
>>42911098
A change in voice direction isn't tantamount to a change to the entire voice cast. And only AJ's voice changed "a lot." The other characters received a minor change in voice direction but were still recognizably them.
>>
I don't think Hasbro will ever make anything as good as what the fandom made, quite honestly
And even less now, because cable TV and toys are dying out, which kind of invalidates the point of a toy commercial show
>>
>>42911220
>Copyright protections do not invalidate any of those elements.
IP law prevents people from trading works that might resemble something done previously by other persons
The fact that I can't legally make a commercial video game about Mane 6 or CMC or any other MLP pony without getting DMCA'd is a proof of copyright being incompatible with the spirit of free market

I wouldn't mind having a completely different VA cast as long as the essence of the character is well written. And we're assuming they use the same characters anyway which I hope they don't. G4 should have stayed a low-stakes slice of life show instead of becoming Pony Ball Z Kai. Jumping the shark never ends well for shows

I don't think you realize this, but S1 was one of - if not, the most - lore-faggy season in the entire show. The show itself even started on a high-stake adventure with the NMM debacle, with eternal night constituting said stakes - alongside heavy lorefagging about Celestia, Luna, and Equestria as a whole. Obviously, the meat and potatoes of S1 was the slice-of-life stuff, but you can't deny that a huge part of what made Equestria so appealing to anons is how lived in and storied the setting felt. And this isn't a bug, it's a feature: Twilight is obviously meant to be a stand-in for the viewer - a sheltered emissary from the damn sun princess that is sent to some podunk town and experiences how the world is outside her lofty home city, and also lives in a library that is replete with information about said world that she can access ad hoc whenever she does encounter something outside her schema. That's why you'll notice that the inciting incidents of most episodes in S1 probably came from the environment imposing itself on the characters rather than any unprompted breakdown in interrelationships.

Equestria, as a setting, is too interesting to not incorporate some levels of lore-fagging adventures. Both the ideas and execution in OG FIM were just so shit that most anons were completely soured by the idea.

>>42911491
Season 1 had some cool ideas when it comes to lore but it wasn't perfect. For every cool thing like Cloudsdale and the Pegasi you would also have stuff like Baby Cakes. The most appealing thing about Equestria's lore is that a lot of it isn't explained. The everfree is an obvious example where its mystery was the foundation for lots of fun theorizing and fan works, but the more we see of it the less interesting it becomes. FIM obviously fumbled a lot of the interesting lore it had, but I don't really think there is a good way to flesh out ideas like the Everfree without losing some of its magic.

all you have to do really is hint at concepts or show that different species exist or explore something just enough to establish it but not enough to explain it fully.
thats where the mind runs wild and you get stuff like wars with the griffon lands, counterparts to nightmare moon (NOT saybreaker mind you), relations between thousands year old dragons and the princesses, and stuff like that.
its can be acreally hard concept to pull off in theory, but all it really takes is intelligent wordplay and knowing what to include and crucially, what to leave out.
