MLP G5 Discussion and Speculation Thread

@Background Pony #6879  
I don’t want it to just be a sequel series

@Background Pony #6879  
So only Twilight or we’re just gonna generalized this and say the main six?

@DaddyMakesMeEUHH  
If it’s far in the future, they never really had much chance of appearing. (Unless it’s a super-special-surprise or something.)

@Latecomer  
maybe in a flashback?

@Vortaxonus  
Maybe. But with the cast gone, it’d probably have to be a silent one. (In fact, haven’t we seen an animatic of such?)

@Latecomer  
Well, technically, that would depend on if they’ll speak.  
Likely there voices will be recast if in LA.

They’re going to have to throw some nostalgia baiting in there somehow. I stopped believing MLP writers saying ‘these things aren’t going to be in here’ long ago so I don’t see why the G4 main cast won’t have some part here, even if indirectly. If they’re boxing themselves in like this setting it in the G4 universe out of an admitted attempt at baiting old fans, they’re not just going to go for a clean break.
 
My guess is Twi and pals left sometbing the new main cast will find on their journey and use to save the world. Either a deus ex the main cast will use to unite the world (like some holocrystal with twilight giving a speech on friendship broadcasted on tv for example) or something like a book, letter, or some type of object from the old cast that shows how important friendship and harmony are that inspire the new cast to complete their journey.
 
Either way, I call bs on the g4 cast not playing a part somehow.

@Background Pony #6E32  
Makes sense, but I don’t think it’s bs.

Cutie marks seem inconsistent, with some ponies not having them, and others only having them on one side. Maybe the movie has magic returning, and ponies get cutie marks on both sides.
 
According to Equestria Daily, Hitch has one on his right side? But I don’t see how they got that from the book cover.

@Background Pony #9A7B  
Probably.

Considering that Netflix tends to give 78 episodes to a series, I wonder if G5’s series will last 78 or more?  
To add to that, will they be aired on Discovery family?

@Background Pony #0D06  
It would be a netflix original so no

@northern haste  
But discovery family did air some Netflix series like super monsters, so…

@Background Pony #0D06  
I just dont see why it would It hasn’t been hasbro’s channel since it became discovery family

@northern haste  
Yeah, but Hasbro owns 40%, so it still is… in a way.  
But eh.

I find it a little sad G5 may only last 2-3 years, 4 if you want to count this year with the movie.

@Background Pony #B163  
If 3, not surprising since G2 lasted 3 years. (Poor sales)  
I do think it could sell well, but I think they don’t want to last too long like G4, since the series kinda started to lack quality.

I think it’s way too soon to be saying how long it’ll last.

@Latecomer  
True.

@Latecomer  
I think Netflix originals usually only have 78 episodes at most though? That’d be around 2 or 3 years. Unless they want to extend it because it turns out to be just as popular as G4, but I don’t see it happening.

@Background Pony #B163  
You know, that is true, unless they go the bojack route and release 12 episodes through 6 years.

@Background Pony #0D06  
6 seasons each.  
In case you’re wondering.

I thought only the movie was airing on Netflix?
 
Wouldn’t the TV show air n Discovery Family like FIM?

@icey wicey 1517  
They greenlit the show aswell.  
It would make no sense for the pilot movie to be on Netflix and the actual show to be on a different channel a specially one thats only in the US
