I guess in just two months we’ll have more than just leaks and vague generic info to work off of in our speculation! Exciting!

It’s about time we got a bit of information about g5.

Greg Weisman (Gargoyles, Young Justice) is the showrunner for G5 MLP.
Reaction?

If G5 wants to have any hope of being 1/10th as good as G4, Hasbro needs to hire industry veterans like they did for FiM.

Of course,definitely. All forms of media should a have veterans working on them along side the newbies.

We’d only get two seasons. They’d be glorious and wonderful but short lived.

That’s why we need the newbies to work with them.Or better yet, have the whole crew be people who are very creative and who knows how to write something at least coherent.

Gargoyles and Young Justice had coherent worlds and the status quo got shaken up every now and then but I’m not sure Hasbro would give him the budget and timeline necessary to fully develop his ideas. At best I could see him coming up with a series bible and that’s about it.
I’m expecting G5 to have a more fleshed out world (and if we’re lucky, a magic system) but mostly focus on slice of life interpersonal drama. Nothing groundbreaking in terms of story telling or plot development. Season one is likely to be a little underwhelming but once the characters and setting are established (and the writers and actors are settled into things) it should pick up. Six seasons and a movie at most but I wouldn’t be surprised if we only got four.
My attempts at realistic expectations being said, I’d like to see the show be something Hasbro invests in. This type of programming is usually produced at a loss to drive toy sales but if She-Ra (the Netflix reboot) is anything to go by, it may be worth the cost to make it stand on its own.

Well, G5 would apparently start off with a movie, assuming your 4 seasons would be true then it would roughly be 2/3s the way there.

Really, toy sales are gonna be the deciding factor on this show’s success. Young kids are probably going to like it as well as any other series so, for the most part, the majority of people that care about the writing quality are older fans. I expect the first batch to be simple, unarticulated models (no surprise). We might see some larger, articulated ones a season or two in. Probably ones with brushable manes just before that. Not sure if background characters and blind bags will pop up but if the numbers are good for the first batch then we might get those.

Realisticly G5 HAS to be more fleshed out.Cartoons now a days are changing and are becoming a lot more open-minded and more thought out and becoming less episodic like they have been. Hasbro would be insane not to do what is popular as of right now.

That sounds great! What cartoons are you talking about by the way? I haven’t watched a lot of modern cartoons lately.

Coming from two Disney Shows you got Amphibia and The Owl House. They handle comedy well, while still having a over arching story.

Random idea I had minutes ago: In G5, alicorns are nothing more than a mutation in the genes of the pony types. Said mutation results from the relationship between pegasi and unicorns that have close earth pony relatives (such as parent or grandparent). I had this idea while thinking about the craziest alternate timelines MLP could have.

No, it’s scheduled to hit theaters BEFORE Clifford now, and yet, Clifford already got a teaser trailer, while MLP G5 doesn’t even have anything unveiled yet!

It’s honestly asinine we don’t even have a teaser poster yet.
