I’ve compared her to Squidward a lot on that front.
It’s funny when she’s being a grump and karma gives her a dope-slap. It doesn’t work when she hasn’t done anything, so it feels like she’s being punished for existing.

Yeah. Which is why I would have liked it if they kept her meaner personality so she could keep being the butt-monkey. But character development is nice though.
At least the Mane Six weren’t as bad as Spongebob.

I think it’s a very good thing. I don’t think Hasbro saw the Discovery Family rights issue coming. I don’t think they planned on getting Netflix involved in G5. I think their plans have been in disarray for years and we’re just now seeing it come to a head, but they finally have a chance at a clean start.

Yeah, I’m changing my mindset, it shouldn’t be #saveMLPG5 anymore, it should be #ContinueTheMLPG5Story. Just for the sake of my mental health being intact and so I can stop waking up feeling heartbroken and depressed.

Oh I still hold Zipp accountable for what she pulled in the movie lol
My comment is just saying that there is a reason why people here don’t look to fondly on TYT izzyfl for that moment. I know she’s done good stuff on that show imo I still found her to be more annoying then good

Izzy chasing Posey on the scooter, on its face, is a bad look for Izzy. But it was so ridiculous that I liked Izzy more for it.
It’s a tightrope to cross, but if something is sufficiently over the top it just becomes funny instead of annoying.

With long-running characters written by dozens of different writers, I tend not to weigh a character’s worst piece of writing against them too heavily. The same way I don’t think of Rainbow Dash as an irredeemable monster because someone had her ruin the Weather Factory, I don’t hate TYT Izzy just because she chased down Posey that one time (neither moment is even really something I think about on the topic). But just like with Rainbow Dash, I dislike TYT Izzy for the consistency of those negative traits.
I don’t dislike her because she was annoying that one time, I dislike her because she’s annoying a lot of the time.

@Dustcan
Yeah, I like things that are so insane, they’re funny. The reason the whole motor scooter thing never bothered me isn’t just because I like the “Posey butt monkey” running gag, it’s because Izzy did what she did with good intentions, as I’ve said in the past. She was trying to help Sunny out and Sleepover!! confirms that she likes Posey, being nice to her alongside the rest of the gang. No one cares about the good things Izzy does in TYT too, like how she was willing to stand up to the universe for Misty in a gag that was honestly funny.

No, what they didn’t see coming is there company still bleeding money as a whole. It’s what lead to a lot of mismanagement and rejiggering including the Netflix deal (which was already set up prior to the movie coming out).
Outside of WotC they’ve been losing profits for the last couple years on all fronts.

The Netflix deal was set up prior to the movie coming out, but I still find the timing interesting. Their existing 10-year deal was very soon going to expire and Hasbro was eager to move all their properties elsewhere, particularly Paramount+.
My suspicion is Netflix didn’t want to just have the movie for a little bit and then watch G5 go elsewhere, so they played hardball and got some rights to G5 that weren’t going to expire with the rest of the old 10-year deal. Hasbro had to accept the terms because covid ruined their theater plans and the G5 movie had to go somewhere, and the 10-year Netflix deal hadn’t expired yet. So Netflix was able to sink their teeth into G5 in a way Hasbro hadn’t intended.
