Hasbro wants to cash in on the massive success of Bluey, which is why they will end up targeting G6 directly at 6-year-olds and preschoolers.Making cartoons for older kids or general audiences doesn't make financial sense to executives anymore, since older kids are fully absorbed by YouTube, TikTok, and Roblox, making them nearly impossible to capture through standard episodic television.Toddlers and young kids are basically the only demographic left for traditional TV cartoons, because they either don't have internet access yet or their access is heavily filtered through parental controls.G6 will probably premiere on Hasbro Legends, which is basically their new The Hub.
>>43367045They NEVER set out to make ANYTHNG for 'older kids' or adult men.>"The completely unexpected adult fans of my little pony"Remember? No one counted on a bunch of grown men to like a cute pony cartoon, ever, at all.Hasbro is for sure aiming to not even come close to making anything appealing to adult men this time around.
>>43367049so, faggot?
>>43367049I meant the age range difference of the target audience.A cartoon with a target audience of 7–11 (G4) vs 4–6 (G6), where cartoons aimed at older kids (7–11) can be enjoyed by ages 4–15, while a cartoon made for younger kids/toddlers (4–6) can only be enjoyed by that specific group.Besides, G6's secondary or third target group is "adult fans," whatever that means.
>>43367045>massive success of Bluey
>>43367045What's a Bluey?
>>43367045I thought the subject was "G6 will be MLP's Barney"
>>43367045BALD>Making cartoons for older kids or general audiences doesn't make financial sense to EXECUTIVESYEAH IF YOU HAVE A MASSIVE COMMUNITY OF ADULTS WHO CAN PAY THEN FUCK THEM WE NEED TO MAKE BRAINROT SLOP INSTEAD.FUCK JEWBRO!>>43367049>legally obligated to make as much money as possible>no not like that!Baronies should buy Hasbro stock then sue when they fail to cater to bronies.
>>43367342Bluey isn't successful cartoon?
Based. Reject modernity. Return to G3
>>43367425To be copied by Hasbro? Lol no, not even close.Peppa the Pig has x1000 more influence than Bluey and x10000 more in merch
>>43367501>troonformerLMFAO
>>43367377Such a stupid post and stupid thread. Fuck you, OP.
>>43367573>frogniggerPot meet kettle
>>43367045Bald
>>43367045what in the god damnwhen was MLP ever at all for older audiences outside of a couple times they acknowledged the completely unintended and unexpected demographic?damn this site fuckin sucks
>>43367377You really Hasbro would take the easy win handed to them on a platter?>>43367516So, G6 will be MLP's Peppa Pig?
>>43368465You really think*
>>43367045>brainrotWell to be fair Bluey is not brainrot. But it is definitely for younger audiences than G4.It's about being TV-Y7, not Nick Jr.
>>43368471Okay, let's not pretend G4 is anymore mature than Bluey, it's definitely nowhere near the same level as Dora or Bubbleguppies, but it ain't SpongeBob either.
>>43368458their original target was 7-11 but the stories were so engaging that grownups found them worthwhile enough to watch. now their new target is 2. you can't do anything with that, there is simply no creative freedom to do anything brain stimulating with that limit.
>>43368458When the show was created and the creator said>girly isn't bad and this show should be enjoyable for the whole family without the guys wanting to blow their brains out
>>43368458>older audiencesI meant kids 11-15 that could potentially be entertained by some parts of FIM.FIM's primary audience were kids 7-11, but younger kids (4-6) and older kids/audience (11-15) could also potentially enjoy some of the shows elements or moments.If a cartoon is aimed at younger demographic (4-6) than said cartoon will be enjoyed almost exclusively by little kids/toddlers.
>>43367045Is going to be comfy and kino
>>43367431Based. But I'm actually hoping we get something as comfy.
>>43368517>>43368521Faust said that to defend bronies but I doubt she really meant that and definitifly didn't indented or plan FIM with that idea in mind.I watched FIM for cute ponies rather than "engaging stories" because FIM didn't really had them.
>>43368458>acknowledged the completely unintended and unexpected demographic?Whenever this happened it was AIDS. Don't forget G4 came when no adults were paying attention, and G4 rotted because it was had a fandom.
>>43367045They're probably just going to operate off what their market research or whatever has predicted will make them the most profit instead of focusing on making something of quality
>>43368538But she said that before bronies exists
>>43367431>>43368530this
Chris Cocks should make Asha the new head of the MLP brand
>>43368538>watched FIM for cute ponies rather than "engaging stories" because FIM didn't really had them.This. It's funny how much deepest lore gets injected into pony by brony autists. Pony was entertaining for being cute and heartfelt. The lore and complexity were pretty basic. I think people mistake a few fanfics for lore.
>>43368542Enrages me because G4 proves quality brings in larger audiences.
>>43368549The COO/CFO is named Gina Goetter lmao
>>43368546Faster
>>43368551Isn't it funny how really passionately done lore can be simple and the opposite like g5 for example is a heinous atrocity
>>43368551I would argue that an attempt at story complexity is exactly how we ended up with such a cancerous finale and epilogue. Haber tried to do too much, got censored by on high, and then basically rage quit the show by turning into dog shit.
>toddler showCalled it. Will also be a cg show. Honestly it might not even be bad but i'm not interested in toddlerkino.
>>43368544I thought you were referring to her comment: "I didn't make FIM for little girls, I made FIM for little girls and their parents, which includes male parents."Could you post or paraphrase which exact Faust quote you were referring to?
>>43368561Honestly just be cute and heartfelt. You can have a seasonal arc and it doesn't need to be le epic story to be good. Season 1 has an arc but it's basic and most the episodes don't even reference it. We didn't have a story. We had cute ponies learning how to get along and be nice.
>>43368538>>43368544 is right, this is from the 2009 show bible.
>>43368581boys=grown men?
>>43368557your wish is my command
>>43368587To women, yes
>>43368587Nobody said that?
>>43368589Can they even stop at this point? So much angular momentum.
"My goal, as an artist and as a storyteller, was to one day have a show of my own for and about girls."-Lauren Faust.
>>43368599I said that Faust didn't intend bronies (adult males) when creating FIM. I got a response telling me I'm wrong along with a picture of the pitch bible that mentions boys as a secondary audience, which doesn't debunk my claim. Therefore, with "boys = men?", I highlighted this difference.
>>43368620We are 100% unwanted.
>>43368600They are opening the portal to the human men dimension so they can get their fuck on.
>>43368620>Faust did NOT intend mlp to enjoyable by all audiences>it should be enjoyable by girls and boys>why yes we are trying to appeal to gen X moms with depth that goes over the kids headsBut don't EVER extrapolate that a show made to be enjoyable for boys and girls and gen X moms would EVER be enjoyable by a gen X dad! Don't do it!!!
>>43367045real if true
>>43368840>gen X dadWere most of the bronies back in the day Gen X? I would have assumed they would be young adults, so millennials.
>>43367516that's not true at all, people know about peppa pig, but there were people at my old normie job that would watch bluey in their off-time cuz it made they enjoyed it. peppa aint never like that.
Hold ondoesnt hasbro already own a toddler show? peppa pig. surely hasbro wouldnt go to war with itself?
>>43369679Yeah. Faust is Gen X, the bronies of FIM were at least in their 20s in the 2010s.
>>43368580>>43368566>>43368551I find most fanmade "lore" for MLPFiM to be a bit tryhard. The shit about wars and destruction and complex politics completely clashes with how sleepy and peaceful and utopian Equestria feels in the show. My idea of the "depth" in the show is the little character moments (mostly in S1 and S2) that show the deeper level of how a pony thinks, and the end result of that is almost always very sweet and wholesome and wonderful. I love how much Ponk cares about standing for the happiness of those around her and how much she seems to hate loneliness and throws parties just so others can have someone who cares about them, and Fluttershy is so patient and kind despite being bullied as a filly.
>>43369888I had not long turned 19 when FiM first started airing back in 2010!
>>43367045May I remind you that Craig McCracken is currently developing a Fosters Home spinoff called Fosters Fun Time, which is going to be aimed at young kids. It's quite possible that Lauren is also working on that show.
>>43368840>depth that goes over the kids headsWhere is it? I can't find it. Can you provide some examples of said "depth" in FIM?
>>43370277Didn't they cancel it? Or am I thinking about Adventure Time toddlerslop?Christ I feel sorry for /co/ with all the pre-school shows they are having
