I personally think it'll be a shitty soulless committee designed corporate product with no artistic vision behind it whatsoever
I want them back. Until then, not watching it.
>So share your thoughts
>>43463583I think it is important to emphasize that G6 WILL be different to G4 no matter if the ponies color schemes and names are the same. We're not living in the 2010's anymore. This will not spawn the same enthusiasm that ponies once did. If you're even a smidge excited for G6 then imprint in your mind that it absolutely will not be even a quarter as groundbreaking as G4. Know this, just to spare yourself of the despair inevitable if you don't.
Now that Applejack and Rarity were executed what do you think the CMC equivalent will be like in G6? My idea for what could be done would be the following>Every one of the 4-ever friends have a little sister now>Both Shining Armor and Zephyr Breeze get genderbent and aged down to fill that role>Filly Shining is now a little tomboy that is really into martial arts and still has a big desire to protect her sister>Filly Zephyr is still lazy but now artistically inclined. Perhaps her wanting to be a mane stylist is now a part of her character due to the first episode Zephyr appeared in>Scootaloo remains the crippled orphan we all know and love. Still gets adopted by Dashie or perhaps they are biological sisters this time around.>Either one of the pie sisters becomes a filly this time around. Though I feel like a filly Marble Pie would be adorable. Perhaps the smartest one of the group and she could borrow interests from her sisters (if any of them return at all besides Pinkie, of course)What do you anons think? And what would (you) like to see as a CMC counterpart in G6?
I'm already sick of g6. G7 when?
>>43463583Do we even know what the actual show's art style is going to look like? The art we've seen obviously is just promotional material, they're not going to be able to animate something that complex (thank god).
It... could be good. I hope they bring back lots of ponies from other gens as well, that would sort of redeem it in my eyes.
>>43463583It's not going to be good.
>>43463638>It... could be good.No.
>>43463637It's made by the TYT crew, they've kept the whole team responsible for that monstrosity. So imagine something between these promo pics and TYT visuals.
G6 designs just leaked
>>43463678Lmao tip her over like a cow and watch her struggle to stand up
>>43463583so... exactly the same, then?>>43463643At least it isn't made in flash
>>43463678Here's your spike replacement bro
>>43463687Cute
>>43463620I'm already sick of g7. G8 when?
>>43463687>rape
>>43463643>It's made by the TYT crew, they've kept the whole team responsible for that monstrosity.Oh brother.
Faust was their bottled lightning.
>>43464719Obviously true, but also I feel like it wouldn't *that* hard to find talented creatives who'd want to work on these franchise. The problem is just that Hasbro doesn't want to
G#
>>43464719hoping they can get lucky enough to strike gold again but I'm not expecting much
>>43463687Would.
Making a reboot of any ip in the current cultural scenario inherently means it will be shit, but they decided to make just the right decisions to ensure it'll be dead on arrival. Any hope delusional fans still have will shatter once they see the cheap animation, awful voice acting and mind numbing writing. Not to mention it's already receiving much less engagement from the fandom then you would normally expect.
>>4346624090% of the normalfags are already bashing it really hard for the lack of Rarity and AJ. Even the dumbest masses are absolutely unimpressed.
>>43463603There are enough smaller franchises that have amazing creativity and artistic soul behind them, why can't MLP be that?`
>>43463583im not looking forward to it
wer apejak?
>>43466256Removing Rarity and Aj is the stupidest, most corporate decision they could have made, and really shows how little they understand of the current state of the fandom they're trying so hard to exploit with this nostalgia bait.Maybe in the past they weren't as popular the others, but they've been receiving much more appreciation lately, while more "problematic" characters like Pinkie and RD are being much more hated. Removing the 2 most mature and grounded characters and leaving the 4 more chaotic ones will make the group too unbalanced.Not to mention a great section of the surface side of fandom is being sustained by ship art, and Appledash and Rarijack are by far the most popular ones.
>>43463583If g6 was a full on g4 reboot, maybe only changing some details like those early g5 leaks did, I would be more willing to give it a chance, but what we got is just so bad I still can't believe anyone could ever be excited about it. The idea to remove Applejack and Rarity, and even daring to remove the stars from Twilight's cutie mark, is so profoundly cynical and pretentious that made me despise everything associated with this generation. I despise the new VAs, the writers and artists that are working on the show, and, to smaller extent, even the artists from the fandom that made fanart based on the new designs. I think that creatively engaging with something so deeply disrespectful to g4 is just inexcusable, and shows that they never actually understood it in the first place. It's either people willing to desecrate g4's legacy for personal satisfaction (those who are working on the show and claim to be fans) or people that are too blinded by nostalgia to see the most obvious red flags.
>>43464896This. Cute ponies doing cute things. Even Fantasia got this right. We don't need Hasbro. We need artists with the love of cute and equine.
Most of my hopes were crushed when I saw the G4 cast returning but I still held on to hope that it could maybe be salvaged but every single piece of promotional material that came next just killed all hopes for me. I really wish we could have had something truly original and let G4 die in peace but I should have known better. I really should have known better...
>>43463687that's just tootie from fairly odd parents bro
>>43463583>>43463584G6 reintroduces humans into the franchise but the humans are humanized versions of Rairty, Applejack, and Spike. Glimmer is also human and a villain who gets reformed and they all go on adventures with the ponies in ponyland (equestria) as well as cliche episodes where the barbies try to keep the ponies hidden when they decide to explore the human world. It will also surpass G4 in popularity and gen alpha will grow up to mock us all for enjoying G4 and we'll see a huge increase in threads shitting on G4 and praising G6.this is my prediction
>>43466719You jus want G5 to be the last word on G4 and we see right through your framing
>>43466989G6 is aimed for 4-6 years old kids, Anon...
>>43463586my thought exactly
>>43467036>Not wanting to see G4 be desecrated further makes you a G5 fanNo, bitch. If it were up to me the last we would have seen from G4 would be G4. Season 9 already warranted an euthanasia in my eyes and G5 was just a desecration of its corpse. Two wrongs won't make a right. Whether we like it or not G5 happened and nothing will undo it. Just let Faust's creation die once and for all.
>>43467163>Whether we like it or not G5 happenedwe see right through your scam
>>43463583It's hard to get excited about a show that will only have rehashed, watered-down versions of characters that have already been run into the ground. It doesn't seem like they're planning to change them all that much either. The voice clips we've heard pretty much confirm they'll have the same personalities.I feel like they took the wrong lesson from G5's failure. There was nothing wrong with the new characters created for G5. The problem was that the writing and art direction sucked after the movie, and the toys were cheaply made and poorly designed. G5 didn't fail because Twilight, Pinkie, and Rainbow Dash weren't in it. It failed because they cheaped out and cut corners on it.

>>43467219First time I've been accused of AI usage. I guess I write like a bot.
>>43467037And it's secondary audience is "adult fans".
>>43466317AJ deserves better than being dyked up.
>>43467236In order to stop sounding like a bot try using more speech quirks in your writing. For example end your sentences with "perchance" or if you would like try to misspell some words.
>>43466260Because Hasbro is retarded and won't hire people with the qualities you've mentioned. The showrunners in charge of it have only worked on shows aimed at toddlers and have little to no experience making actual cartoons with good visuals and decent writing.Hasbro is lucky that someone as talented as Lauren Faust, who worked on plenty of great shows from Cartoon Network (The Powerpuff Girls, Foster's Home, Flapjack, Chowder, Sym-Bionic Titan), was also into ponies when she was little. Gen Xers are a dying breed of cartoonists, and neither millennials nor zoomers have achieved something close to what they have in the 90's and 2000'sIf we have luck, perhaps someone in the far away future will rise from whatever debris the industry is in and make something with the franchise worth watching. But for now, we can only whine endlessly into the void while Hasbro keeps raping the legacy of the only person who has made something worth watching with their IP.
>>43463583Where are the toys!!?!?! why no toy leeks yet
>>43463583There are not enough Doom Faust images on the internet to describe how ass it is going to be. The awful disney-esque art style from Kole and them re-using four of the Mane 6 is enough for me to know it'll be yet another pathetic attempt by Hasbro to re-kindle the success they had in the early 2010's. But just like with most reboots to a beloved IP, companies forget that it wasn't the brand that was the golden goose, it were the artists working on it that made what it was.
>>43468435
>>43468483I made that one. A shame the original front-facing was an AI edit (at least from what I've heard) but I do like how the red tint covering the eyes black looks, it helps convey the sense of hopelessness that many Doom Faust images have.
>>43464896Besides Faust and her staff, The only other people I'd trust to make a new generation worth watching are similar old-school talent or select artists from /mlp/. With the exception of one or two people, I can't trust anyone from the original target audience who grew up with the show (TikTok/Twitter users) to have the skill and sensitivity to make something comparable to G4. They'd all make something like this G6 promo art we've already seen but Pinkie Pie would be a black woman with morbid obesity.

>>43468539Kek but I also realized that the narrator is likely Jenna Weir, sounds quite similar to her
>>43468553yeah this lol
