It’s difficult to feel satisfied given the constant bag-fumbling with the production and release of G5 material.I’m also not fond of the idea that that the only lesson they’ll probably learn is to never take the needle off of the G4 Mane 6 and reboots of that is all we’ll get going forward.
Really though, I think the answer behind the answer is related to the “possibly” you used in your post; We don’t actually know if or when G5 is ending since Hasbro is very opaque regarding G5’s production. If we knew for a fact that G5 was ending, when, or what would come after, I doubt there’d be as much panic.

FiM is good enough to warrant a small cult following, but it’s nowhere near as good as the fandom would have you believe. I’m just going to copy and paste something I wrote:

The first part is novelty. The fandom in 2010 was made up of people aged 18-25. Season One was probably the first time a lot of these people had watched a good kids’ show with their newly renovated adult brains, so they were able to pick up on all of the things only adults would understand. This would have felt like a completely novel concept to them, even though FiM was far from the first kids’ show to be like this.This was a “novel” enough concept on its own, but My Little Pony of all things? To all these people, Lauren Faust had seemingly done the impossible.But for the full context, you need to look up the “word of faust” tag, starting with the oldest uploads. Because Lauren Faust’s goal was to make a show that parents could enjoy with their kids, and to challenge the idea that “for girls” had to mean “stupid” or “bad”. So the fandom got the idea that they were “special” and “helping the cause” by watching the show and spreading it around.This led to two runaway feedback loops:
- the show’s popularity caused us to inflate its perceived quality, which in turn made more people want to check it out
- the more we spread the show, the more pushback we got, which in turn caused us to fight harder to spread it
Without that whole zeitgeist, Season One is above average and Season Two is a mixed bag
G5’s setting, story, and character dynamics had more thought put into them than G4’s, but FiM’s explosion in popularity during Season One is something that’s basically impossible to replicate. I actually prefer the smaller cult following that G5 has.

in my opinion Mlp should be something more like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which has several versions and not all of them last a decade but they are all very good

if it’s 4 years, we could have been half as long if it weren’t for the large time windows and the current artificial extension.

Are we really gonna count a movie, an arc and an unrelated series with total runtime equating to said arc a good run? All the other time spent are filler that isn’t even filling up anything.

Too bad that didn’t last. This great writing that 99.9% of other media that doesn’t have you speak of.

- There’s a thing as optimism. Regardless of it being good or bad, filler or not, it’s still a good run. (not the guy who said it, btw. Just someone offering their two cents.)
- True.

I actually agree that four years isn’t a bad run. Another thing I’m a big fan of, Yu-Gi-Oh!, has generations that generally only last about 2-4 years. It would just SUCK for TYT to get abruptly canceled without giving us a proper ending, leaving us stuck with no new MLP content for a whole year.

Yeah but I don’t think living 5 years doing nothing productive is “a good run”. Yeah I lived but what did I do to even deserve living. If only counting and totalling what we got, that’s only 1 year.

Exactly, and that’s concerning. Sure one can make an excuse for MYM having only 6 to 8 episodes per season, but TYT’s by weekly schedule is hardly reassuring.

Isn’t MYM one season in its entirety, but got split up due to Netflix wanting it in that format? Imagine what we would have gotten if in the past two years they had released two more seasons.

The best thing ever. Only in another universe. Then again I would say the same thing as it lasted 7 seasons less.

As always, not trying to take jabs at mdash, but I don’t like the “he’s not showing evidence, but I trust him because he’s “never” been wrong before” attitude. Did everyone just forget the time when he trolled us into thinking Starlight Glimmer was going to be in Secrets of Starlight?
WTF you are talking about. They never said that. A lot of people only speculated because the Starlight in the name.

Uh, yes he did.
Uh, yes he did.
“Well, mdash (G5’s most accurate leaker) did share this with us, so it’s not incredibly far-fetched…
It doesn’t show up anymore because of Discord links being stupid now, but he did in fact joke about Starlight being in Secrets of Starlight before the special came out. People who were there for me posting that screenshot can back me up.
Posted that screenshot he shared at the end of this thread back in the day too.
I made that post back in August 2023 as a reply to something I wrote in June 2023 and updated it in November 2023 when I realized what he said was a joke. That post of mine has not been edited since November so there is no way I could’ve faked this. Besides, why would I fake being confident that Starlight wouldn’t appear in the special, then considering it a possibility because of what mdash said, and then realizing what he said was a joke? It makes no sense, that would only serve to make me look bad. I would’ve looked better back then had I just stuck to my guns.
Also, Episodes 3 and 4 of MYM Chapter 2 were just uploaded to the official MLP channel.

Not a chance. A big company like Hasbro would just take down the post instead of asking someone to do it. None of this makes sense. Someone faking screenshots, sharing them, and then deleting the post to “back up the claims” makes a lot more sense.
