did they ever explain why Ponies with jumbotrons and cable TV decided to give up a continental transport system?
>>
Because they didn't have friendship anymore, silly.
>>
>>43322336
There's no explanation for something that isn't canon, they don't even watched a single episode of the show to write this piece of shit
>>
>>43322400
>still seething after 5 years
Keep it up, you'll be just like the fags who hate MLP one day.

>>43322887
Bad things don't magically turn good with time.

>>43322891
It still occupies your mind to this day, clearly.
>>
>>43322891
Plenty of things do like Edvard Munch's paintings or the Star Wars prequels apparently.
>>
>>43322400
Trvke.
>>
>>43322336
Pegasai aren't the "nerd" ponies or the "hard worker" ponies, so they didn't maintain it.

The jumbotrons and iphones are relics of the fallen civilization. Earth pony tech isn't as fancy, but the pegasai can't actually build their high-end stuff.
>>
>>43322906
The prequels "became good" because they put out more stuff that was even worse. So, the only hope G5 has of becoming "good" is if G6 and the live-action movie are so abysmal that G5 looks good by comparison
>>
>>43322898
Because you subhumans post this shit
>>
G4 isnt cannon to g3 in the same way g5 isnt cannon to g4. And it is within the realm of possibility to enjoy both. But a lot of ponyfags refuse to acknowledge any of this and just start screaming that anything other than g4 is absolutely trash. Which is hilarious coming from the perspecrive of a fan of a show that is generational.

Anyway, the idea seems to be, looking only at the movie, that with whatever major event happened that caused the three pony races to split up, they became total isolationists
>>
If you like g5 you don't like g4 at all simple as
>>
>>43322986
Its very unfortunate you're mentally disabled, lacking the ability to focus on more than one thing at a time, and I hope you get better one day.

Also I do not care for anything g5 related past the movie really.
>>
>>43322987
It's dishonest to call mlp generational when all of this exists because of fim and nothing else
>>
>>43322988
>when all of this exists because of fim
>>
>>43322972
You have hope for the live action movie? Lol, lmao even.

Because for some reason G5 only takes place in three cities and there's no real implication of a wider world, which is one of its largest flaws.

G5 Equestria is basically a post apocalyptic world that devolved into three barely-sustaining city states.
>>
>>43323234
>post apocalyptic world
Especially since most of the characters don't even have both parents alive.
>>
>>43323234
Is it not post apocalyptic? Every time a G4 location shows up it's in absolute ruins or reclaimed entirely by nature, in the very first episodes of the show they're digging up completely ruined motor vehicles on old barely roads and shit.
>>
>>43323234
>>43323242
>the equestrian dark age is when electricity and computers are widely available in urban population centers
what did the writers mean by this?
>>
>>43323262
Cyberpunk 2077 is also technically post apocalyptic and has widespread computers and electricity.
>>
>>43322336
because it would require a smart inventor to make up a concept of it in the first place to happen
>>
>>43323234
>Because for some reason G5 only takes place in three cities
The reason is that their GODDESS Twilight Sparkle put an invisibubble around that territory of Equestria or something like that.
>>
>>43323242
>>43323262
It means FoE is canon.
>>
>>43323493
So it's even worse than we all thought?
>>
I'm doing a G5 deep dive review, I'm more knowledgeable than most, and you can trust my opinion.

>>43322336
No, it was an empty mystery box. The reason for ponies drifting apart was left unexplained in both ANG and MYM According to the leaked show bible for MYM, this is presumably built alongside the three cities and worked, but this is contradicted in ANG by the ponies having no idea about their backstory.

>>43322985
>G4 isnt cannon to g3 in the same way g5 isnt cannon to g4
But G5 is a direct continuation of G4, down to directly including characters. Being canon is the entire appeal of being a sequel. It's like saying The Legend of Korra isn't canon to Avatar: the Last Airbender.

>>43323242
>Every time a G4 location shows up
No G4 location is depicted in G5, at least in the final production.The production notes given to critics imply the crew operated with the idea that Maretime Bay was founded by Ponyville refugees, but the MYM revised backstory has it as a newly founded realm inside a magical bubble. How does a freshly settled land have artifacts from Equestria for Argyle to find? Don't know.

This doesn't apply to the IDW comics, but those suck and aren't worth reading, and are contradicted by the show anyway.

Wut, how does that contradict each other? Isn't there also a character that is a descendant of Moon Dancer in Bridlewood which means emigration took place?
>>
>>43323615
>Wut, how does that contradict each other?
A city on the same continent vs. an entirely new land.

At least that's my interpretation. You can read the document and decide for yourself.

I didn't watch G5 for the story, because I knew that wouldn't be very good. I just watched it for the cute ponies. I reject most of G5's canon and substitute my own lore and world.
>>
>>43323576
>It's like saying The Legend of Korra isn't canon to Avatar: the Last Airbender.
Of course not. Just like FoE, it is fanfic of the original material.

That's as silly as saying The Force Awakens is canon to A New Hope.
>>
>>43323892
damn u didn't even get that
>>
>>43323901
I mean, yeah pretty much. You can enjoy the original star wars and like, end it there. And many prequel haters just refuse to acknowledge them because they where made afterwards.
Theres lots of Star Wars fans who run off a "earlier Cannon" mindset, where if you're needing to source lore, you focus on finding the oldest option available. because anything made after that with contradicts it was clearly just ignoring the existing lore. They had the resource and they purposely ignored it.
Theres g3 fans who dislike g4, so they dont pay attention to it. And I respect that. I prefer g4, but I can enjoy g5 cause I can view it as its own timeline.
Yes I am autistic as fuck. Hello.

>>43323967
Izzy was close. Very close. She almost broke out of the dog-horse design.
>>
>>43323974
>Yes I am autistic as fuck. Hello.
Hi.

>g?
What do you think of the other gens? Ever watched them?

The archive sites have all the gens, but sometimes it seems nobody watched them.
>>
>>43323576
>The reason for ponies drifting apart was left unexplained
>this is presumably built alongside the three cities and worked
was it ever explained how the pegasi developed semiconductors first?
>>
>>43324015
I unuronically watch and enjoy all generations of pony. I grew up with g3 always on my sisters TV, and I always outwardly said I hated it. Even bullied her a bit for it. But the reality is that Ive enjoyed all of it.
Minty Christmas is obviously one of the best. Generation 1 was made for a totally different audience and it was gold. Highly reccomended My Little Pony Tales. They're just ponies living in a regular modern American town. But in era with people who actually enjoyed their own small towns.
>>
>>43323493
Oh so it's actually PEAK
>>
>>43323974
> Theres g3 fans who dislike g4, so they dont pay attention to it
I mean, thats basically cheating.
G3 is a complete different universe from G4.
Different stories, different concepts and different target.
The only things they share are the name and designs of some character (pinky pie, rainbow dash, scootaloo) but even than the characters are pretty much different characters (like g3 RD is a fashionista a la g4 rarity instead of a sporty tomboy pegasus like G4 RD).
>>
>>43324405
>cheating
I see thing. I decide whether or not I like thing independently of other products. If I do not like thing, I set it down and walk away.
I liked the G5 movie and some of the episodes and think Zipp is pretty cute. Simple as.
