MLP G5 Discussion and Speculation Thread

@northern haste  
Unless they syndicate it, Like super monsters.

Cort Lane is the executive producer for the show and just confirmed that is CG

@Background Pony #0D06  
I’m not talking about reones

@Background Pony #0D06  
He also did Barbie, so…

@Background Pony #0D06  
Just one Most of the other stuff he was an executive producer for were Marvel cartoons

@northern haste  
Yeah, Super Hero Squad was my favorite.  
Interesting choice.

does anyone know when the official trailer is released?

@Shimmering Spectacle  
Idk.  
@northern haste  
The EQD says he’s doing the movie when he’s actually doing the series. Uh…

@Background Pony #6E32  
there HAS to be something like that. It’s crazy to play up it being in the same universe as G4 without the mane 6 having some kind of part

@northern haste  
And Learn to be a Princess, though he was a supervising producer.

Maybe I haven’t been paying close enough attention to how EqD usually is, but it kinda feels like EqD has been reporting incorrectly a lot more lately. There’s also been a problem with them not citing sources lately? I know it’s basically just a glorified blog and not professional (and I’m glad it exists) but is Seth doing okay?

@Background Pony #6ABD  
Idk, weird.

@northern haste  
True.

@Numetalmac  
They’re going to be an inspiration for Sunny. More, we can’t know yet.

@northern haste  
He seems to be a brony, so I think G5’ll do fine.

So the whole series is on netflix AND its all in this uncanny CG? Guess I’ll pirate if I feel like catching an ep. Honestly, the visuals are what’s mainly turning me off from G5 and to hear the whole thing is like this really doesn’t make me feel like buying a netflix sub.
 
Its like when the hub became discovery family all over again.

@Latecomer  
I hope some character appears, like flurry Heart, at least once. It feel hollow if they are just a background set piece.
 
@Background Pony #6E32  
im going to still watch on Nf I think it might still be okay. Though far from G4

@Background Pony #6E32  
from what I heard the series would be in 2d, with only the film being 3d. Can’t independently confirm that, but it does seem to be the general pattern of film to tv series, such as tangled for example.

The HTTYD and Puss-in-Boots shows were in 3D like their movies though.

Shows like this are usually made at a loss since the point is to drive toy sales. Last I checked, 3D animation is considered cheaper than 2D so Hasbro is probably gonna throw the least amount of cash at the series as it can.

@Brass Beau  
That sounds counterintuitive, but what do i know about animation technology?

I know bad 3d’s cheap, (think crappy direct to dvd movies by some no name company) but I thought good CG was expensive to make.

@Background Pony #6E32  
You assume G5 will be good CG rather than average CG.

I’d prefer 2D but television 3D has gotten a lot better lately. Heck, the cash-grab Spongebob spin-off Kamp Koral doesn’t look bad at all and that’s in 3D.
