MLP G5 Discussion and Speculation Thread

I hope with villians, even if this probably won’t happen. That there is an obvious main villian. But also a secret more powerful villian who is hidden at first but is tremendously more threatening and terrifying than any enemy seen before.

Eviil!

If they had a villain like this:  

 
I would be in awe.

@DaddyMakesMeEUHH  
Who is this fine gentleman?

@Cosmas-the-Explorer  
That is Johan Liebert, the main antagonist from one of the best animes ever Monster. On the surface, Johan is a well-mannered, charismatic young man, but when you delve deeper he’s a crazed calculated nihilist.  

@Cosmas-the-Explorer  
Some fans have speculated that the sixth new element bearer could be a villain reformed over the course of the movie.

Gonna be amusing to see all the things we got wrong when the trailer/movie comes out

Here’s hoping they don’t say “The Mane Six were sealed/time-travelling the entire time, and now they are secondary characters of G5” during any moment of G5 in general. Because that would be wrong on so many levels.

@Algebroot Neogears  
Yeah, I hope they don’t do that either. I’d rather them be dead.

@Algebroot Neogears  
Not going to happen without the same voice actresses, I’d guess.

@Algebroot Neogears
 
Oh God, I’d probably roll my eyes at any attempt to keep the Mane 6 around as actual characters. I hope they’re just dead/gone. Anything else probably wouldn’t feel right.  
I honestly don’t know how they’re going to say “they’re not here anymore and will never come back” without just implying they’re dead (I feel like Hasbro wouldn’t allow that it sounds kind of upsetting) but I’m sure they found a way.
 
What if the trailer drops and it’s revealed the Mane 6 never existed at all in G5 and they’re a television show like some theories a couple months back were saying? I wouldn’t like that either.

The mane 6 are all tucked away in a retirement home watching soap operas and drinking margaritas to actually do anything :P

@Algebroot Neogears  
I half-way wonder if they’ll pull a winter soilder or something and have the villains control/brainwash them into being their minions. Maybe have a touching scene where they die for real as they are unbrainwashed or whatever.  
I could also see them going to the spirit guide direction too.

@Background Pony #6ABD  
I honestly couldn’t see how that would add to the story.
 
Although I could see it being the opposite of what sequel series usually does.
 
Instead of tearing down the old series as inferior, it tries to say the same show we watched is good enough to make a simple fan of it reunite the “real” world.

@Background Pony #6ABD  
And I dont think the TV show theory Is based on anything from any g5 news.  
It’s just i guess some people think What the m6 did didn’t happen is better then it just didn’t last forever

@northern haste  
Agreed.

@Background Pony #6ABD  
They could just show a stone statue of mane six during one episode which would imply their death without saying it out loud.

@Background Pony #FA58  
Or imply they’re waiting to be depetrified…

I would like it where the Mane 6 are all still alive and act as sort of mentors and guides for the new characters

@Myoozik
 
@Myoozik  
i’d like that too

@Myoozik
 
@ichiban iceychan 1517  
That would either require Pillar-like shenanigans, immortal Manes, or far too short a timeframe.
 
Now, Spike (with a voice change from growing up)? That could work…

@Wiimeiser  
There’s still a chance it could get released before September.
 
That said, considering the FiM series finale leak upset a lot of people, i think this made hasbro be a little more cautious in promoting G5.

What will Pipp’s personality be? Stereotypical teenage girl?

@Background Pony #9360  
Possibly, considering she has a phone.

@Background Pony #565D  
similar to my thought, though it’s more about the amount of leaks in general then that specifically.
 
 
@Background Pony #9360  
maybe with some rich girl leanings, considering her likely royal status.
