I genuinely think the best direction for G6 would be to keep the colorful, expressive 2D/vector style of G4, drop the giant lore arcs and “save the world” plots and make it a pure slice-of-life, educational format similar to Peppa PigAnd before you instantly dismiss this, I think it would actually solve a ton of problems modern MLP has.One of the biggest strengths of FiM wasn’t really Chrysalis, Tirek or the lore dumps. It was seeing ponies just existing in Ponyville:>going shopping>fixing roofs>getting jealous over dumb things>baking disasters>winter prep>school events>awkward social situationsetc.Those moments in the episodes are infinitely rewatchable because they feel cozy and timeless.The problem with modern serialized cartoons is that once the “big arc” ends, the setting feels exhausted. Every season escalates harder until the world is constantly at stake and characters stop feeling relatable.A different structure would allow the show to run on for decades without the need to change for the sake of meeting higher expectations. Instead we could have:>random weather episodes>train trips>camping>small town drama>actual holidays>sibling fights>talent competitions>jobs>hobbiesOverall background pony focused episodesYou could generate practically infinite scenarios without needing:>multiverse threats>ancient artifacts>magical destiny retcons>constant villain reform arcsAnd because the G4 art style is already super readable and expressive, it fits this format perfectly. Simple environments, recognizable silhouettes, comfy atmosphere.

>>43232984Vivzipip visuals and Peppa Pig storytelling. Last offer.
>>43232984>G6 should use G4 visuals but Peppa Pig-style storytellingYou already have ForgaLorga and Agrol
>>43232984That would mean seeing pregant mares and you can't have nice things in the show.
>>43232984Why Alula is with Apple Stars? Did Kicker offload her sister for a day after banging Apple Stars?
>>43232992Proof that it works then. I actually agree with OP. Even though I like adventure eps, the worst parts of FiM came from it trying to be all epic and cool. I'd rather full slice of life with small references to a larger, more lore-filled world.

>>43232984I've never seen Peppa Pig but agree with most of your post. Cute ponies doing cute things.
>>43232984i agree
>>43232984G6 should not exist at all
>>43232984I never saw Peppa Pig.
>>43232984No, I like the adventure.The "problems" you listed is your own personal issues like someone that dislikes the taste and texture of apples.
>>43233022>Cute ponies doing cute things.Go back to your moeblob animes.
>>43233288Nigger why are you even here?
>>43232984Lets get rid of everything fun so we can appease retards like OP who need everything to be cozy

>>43232984>OP is literally a childDelete this thread.
I wish My Little Pony would cut out all the filler arcs and focus on the plot moving stuff more.
>>43232984You should try making this so you can appreciate just how little people want it.
>>43232984Wasn't THE premise of Friendship is Magic that MLP would get the "giant lore arcs and 'save the world' plots" that you are now calling to be removed? Didn't Faust make G4 to get MLP away from the "cozy and timeless" earlier gens that lacked action, to massive success? Besides, I'm pretty sure that the actions heavy episodes are the generally the most popular. Isn't Return of Harmony the most popular episode?>The problem with modern serialized cartoons is that once the “big arc” ends, the setting feels exhausted. Every season escalates harder until the world is constantly at stake and characters stop feeling relatable.That's a bad writing problem. Conflict doesn't necessitate escalation, it's just the easiest way to get conflict. And if the setting is "exhausted", then why do you want to see more of the setting? Shouldn't you be done with ponies, what with all the two-parters FiM had?Also, Peppa the Pig? Really? You want MLP to aim for an even younger audience? You're an interesting man, Anon.
>>43233542>>43233309>>43233288Did you all come from some alternate universe where like 80% of Friendship is Magic episodes were replaced by Twilight's Kingdom style crap? It's the only way these posts make sense.

>>43232984Peppa Pig was probably the worst possible example you could've used, but I agree with the sentiment. The show is best with low-stakes, slice of life stuff happening, rather than trying to be some bombastic anime.
>>43232984I agree with the idea of MLP being more SoL focused, but I disagree with the idea of it having more focus on background ponies.

>>43233951how could ANYONE argue against this format
>>43233951im using my pony pegasus wings to fly up and cum inside rainbow dash.
>>43232984You can have both major dramatic arcs and extended sections of slice-of-life (e.g. Full Metal Panic) The thing is either or both will always be shit as long as the writing is shit, and systematically avoiding investment of time/effort/money in the front end of their product is a time-honored tradition for Hasbro. If the product isn't low quality, it's outside of their business model and needs to be "fixed".
>>43232984every sweaty in here is too jaded after the show ended (and its late season tarnation) to really respond properly to you

>G6 should use G4 visuals but Peppa Pig-style storytelling So every episode made after season 5? because even when they went into adventures the show felt written for toddlers.People misinterpret the problem with the way G4 handled adventure-focused episodes in later seasons by blaming the concept and not the cohesion between the show's premise, the writing and aesthetics.The problem wasn't that "they went into adventures to solve issues" (okay, not exactly) but the fact it was trying to be a shitty 2010's episodic-then-serialized cartoon like Star Vs. and The Owl House, stuck in an awful middle ground of being too naive for a mature audience and too cynical for a young audience.If there's anything G6 should do to be good is something that has become practically impossible in commercial animation: To have real artists with opinions of their own and true experience making cartoons.Most people forget this, but Friendship is Magic had way more in common with cartoons like The Powerpuff Girls and Ren & Stimpy than it ever did with any of its contemporaries (Regular Show, Adventure Time, Gumball, Gravity Falls, etc.).The crew Faust assembled worked on some really well regarded shows from the 90's and 2000's, and even those with lesser portfolios had enough experience when they started working on the show.What am I supposed to expect from G6 when the only thing the head writer for the upcoming movie has ever produced is toddler-slop? G6 will be terrible and the suggestions some have to "fix it" are just as bad, if not worse, than the expected outcome. They want the style with none of the substance.
>>43235835This so much fucking this, i fucking hate this whole "pls make our show cather to fucking 2 year olds because muh moekino" mentality that nu/mlp/ has the problem wasnt the aventures, heck even G1 had them it was the writing team of the later seasons not being able to write them probely since they where still attempting to cather to toddlers, all the good episodic-to-serialized shows wherent afraid of "being too adult"
>>43235886>all the good episodic-to-serialized shows wherent afraid of "being too adult"I can't really think of good examples of this, the closest might be Adventure Time or Regular Show, and even those became considerably less fun because they wanted to keep the art style but forgetting to play into its strenghts, which is how we ended with crap like Fionna & Cake.If there's ever another MLP with potential, I just hope they keep the continuity changes to the bare minimum, avoiding big changes to the status quo (Redeemed Discord, Twilicorn, Friendship Castle, Starlight, Changed-lings, Friendship School, etc.)
Wrong. I like the slice of life, but my favorite parts of the show was the adventure cause adventure is the best part of media. I wouldn't nearly like the show as much without arcs such as the two parters. The superpowers the characters have and the fantastical stuff were great.
>>43233652>but I disagree with the idea of it having more focus on background ponies.That's because you don't actually love ponies, you just love that one particular character you claimed as your waifu.
>>43237418Background ponies wouldn't be background ponies if they had more of a focus. They would just be side characters. You are destroying the very essence of the background ponies while I am trying to preserve it.
