MLP G5 Discussion and Speculation Thread

@Background Pony #6FC9  
Back on topic, yeah, this could be interesting.

@Background Pony #565D  
Yes.
 
@Background Pony #6FC9  
Badges said he’d at least be some kind of guard or authority.

@WyrmSpawN  
Ahh.  
Well, I don’t know, it’s surprising, but i think Hasbro could make it work.
 
Though it was gonna be expected.

@Background Pony #565D  
Yep.

Ok, i don’t know what to think of this, but tbf, Paw patrol Didn’t get affected by this.
 
But anyway, one has to wonder if Sunny and Hitch are friends??

Hitch is the token male character, and he’s a cop.
 
That’s 2 strikes against him, and G5 hasn’t even come out yet.

@Background Pony #20A9  
Unless there’s more males.  
But true, 2 strikes.

I just hope Hitch doesn’t become a himbo. Plus, since he a sheriff and all, I wonder if they are going to give him a country accent?

@Background Pony #8E24  
I hope not, that would be a third strike.
 
I hope they come up with something other than ‘surfer dude’.

Hitch gets a country accent, but not the cool Sam Elliot kind. The “Inbred hick” kind”.

@Background Pony #8E24  
Hey, they won’t.  
They wanted to have a diverse, why make the male token character.
 
A country accent would be interesting, would make up for the fact that we may not have AJ in this gen.

If they couldn’t decide whether Pipp’s eyes were red or green, why didn’t they give her heterochromia? Best of both worlds, and extra representation to boot.

@TheFinite  
Maybe Pony Tale is the Malaysian title?

Many people have been talking about how Pipp has a smartphone in G5, as if it’s something never before seen in MLP. But in one episode called Discordant harmony, we saw Discord with clones of himself holding smartphones.  

@TheFinite  
Nice. This title sounds cooler.

@DarkyBoode32  
It’s Discord.
 
This fandom’s asshole version of the Genie. Anachronism doesn’t mean shit when he’s involved.

@DarkyBoode32  
If it was any other character other than him with a smartphone, then people would’ve definitely noticed and brought more attention to it

@TheFinite  
A New Generation or Pony Tale… I think the first title is better!
 
 
@Wiimeiser  
Or Netflix Malaysia confused it with My Little Pony Tales or My Little Pony: Pony Life. Malaysian dubs of series always keep the original title (even though it’s not the country’s language).

Honestly I feel like calling it a new anything Kind of makes it feel like Its a sequel Yes it could take place in the same universe but thats not the same as a sequel

@northern haste  
Then they should probably keep reference to g4 as light as possible, because no one will buy that otherwise.

@WyrmSpawN  
Same.

@TheFinite  

 
Well, they already added the G5 characters, so…  
Also, will fimfiction change their name?

@WyrmSpawN  

 
As with G1 for G4, you mean? The movie is likely to be full of vague references about G4, but when the TV series comes out, the background from G4 will be minimal, only the background lore will continue - races, culture, localities, history. I would be very surprised if the book that started and ended G4 did not appear at the beginning of the movie, and if the Mane 5 did not find a statue of Mane 6 somewhere out there to prove that these had existed. Maybe when the movie ends, a new book will be brought out to symbolize the beginning of G5. They will still be in Lauren Faust’s creation if G5 is a continuation of G4.
 
To start an era, the previous one must end in an epic and symbolic final act where the new will take over. We have not come to this stage that can be in the movie. It is intended to start the G5 by picking up the track from the G4. That may be enough if Sunny gets a certain book at the beginning of the movie. When the movie ends, G5 will begin as a separate era.

Aynsley King, who was a storyboard artist on FiM from Season 4 to Season 9, is the Storyboard Supervisor for G5.
