Hasbro is confirmed to show off some stuff at Hasbro Pulse Con soon, they even very recently posted about their growth strategy on Twitter. I just want to get some actual confirmation of what’s going on soon because all this speculation and all these rumors about what may or may not be true has been EXHAUSTING.

Someone literally just told me it was real and that you only took down everything after defying them and “seeing how serious this was”.
…I guess they’ve never heard of the meme it’s referencing.

Yeah, the comics are great, but TYT needs a proper finale. Allura’s easily one of the most interesting villains in the series, what an insult that would be to give her arc a rushed conclusion.

I could care less about Allura but certainly it will wrap up and I know how it ends because apparently I’m psychic. Of bad omens.
Call it nostalgia but I still fondly remembered how it began. But alas, just like real life, the g5 fandom is just as divided. All came for very different reasons. Some only liked the one single movie and nothing else. Some like only both movie and MYM. Some like everything. I came or joined rather (not a defection) because I am genuinely intrigued by this same yet different world and to see Sunny go beyond her world on adventures. However, none of that happened. And since Misty came, the other 5 has changed so much, Izzy is back to being a Pinkie clone given what she’s doing to Allura last episode, Hitch is now a stay-at-home dad with nothing better to do than look after Sparky even though everyone else is an ideal choice for babysitting Sparky because I would also love to see Posey and Sprout’s antics with him, Pipp is still the same as she was, Zipp now now has become bland due to not wanting to explore or having an apparent infinite time to decide on being her mom’s successor and Sunny, ooh boy, she’s the biggest offender of all, she’s now Applejack if she had Twilight’s powers and also forgot that she had them much like Twilight.
And if all G5 is doing is to wrap up the current arc and nothing else:
-We never got to see other non-pony races (and by extension, Changelings and zebras and Violette) in MYM form.
-Adding to the above, we never even get to see them in TYT form. I don’t know if the problem was that they can’t decide on how they’ll look or that their design is too similar to Prixy05’s and they didn’t want to copy them. Or that there’s no reason to visit them at all. Or that they refrained because the Young 6’s debut so called made this into My Little Creature which I think is a bit of a stretch to just not do them. Or budget issues regarding MYM.
-Sunny despite BOTH her parents being into rediscovering the world, is very uninterested in doing so now. If you ask me, she’s not the same Sunny as she once was. And it’s not helping that the lack of motivation for doing so is simply because she doesn’t know everything G4 like Flash Magnus. Sorry for the spoilers but yeah, she doesn’t know Flash Magnus. I get that some parts of history is lost but it just sounded like the entirety of G4 wherever it’s stored burned to the ground. By extension, Zipp lost interest too.
-Never mind finding out what happened to the old locations but because of Sunny’s apparent unwillingness to venture out, we don’t even get to see this new world anyway.
-Not exactly important at all but having callbacks using Sunny’s supposed knowledge would be awesome. But you know, despite what Mayor Mare said in episode 100, none of them mattered even once in this new world. Not even a small one.
You know, everyone else thinks the comics are inferior to the show back in g4. Well? The tables have turned, because give IDW credit, at least they bothered and gave a dam to expand on this new era like it or not. If it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t have gotten Violette, the zebras, Milkyway, Tracy Tailspin, Raneigh, the apparent evolved or native seaponies. Heck, even Discord finally moved on and now sooner or later, Zipp will finally make her decision and test her resolve as the soon-to-be queen. If anything, let them have it.

You just want to see them in the new styles? You don’t want to find out what they’ve been up to or how the collapse affected them? Also, we do see Violette in TYT style.
-Sunny despite BOTH her parents being into rediscovering the world, is very uninterested in doing so now. If you ask me, she’s not the same Sunny as she once was.
Their goal wasn’t to “rediscover the world”. It was to bring back magic.

Okay so…
The fandom just sort of assumed that Sunny was a total G4 fangirl. But when you actually look, Sunny only has a limited and superficial understanding of G4’s world. She’s more interested in making friends with the other tribes, which morphed into her quest to bring back magic. Zipp was only interested in the past because bringing back magic meant she could fly.
Also, Sunny is interested in visiting the Alicorn Homelands.
-Never mind finding out what happened to the old locations
We visit a ruined Canterlot in the comics. The problem is that most of the locations in Old Equestria have absolutely zero lore or identity behind them. Manehattan is just “New York but with ponies”. What did you honestly expect them to show?
While the other species do have some pretty good lore, it was pretty much only relevant during G4’s time. Plus, there was never any lore about the diplomatic relations between the species. If they wanted to actually do something with the other species, they would more or less have to create new lore from scratch.

@DerpyFast
Manehattan I think must be in ruins or a cyberpunk city, but of the g4 places the only interesting one to show is Twilight’s castle, people talk about the crystal empire but they have already visited it. but it would be cool to see the griffins and changeling, as for the hippogriffs, they only remained in aquatic form, as was shown in the last seasons of g4

Of course I do, both go hand in hand. And yeah, I know she appears in TYT but what about in MYM?

That doesn’t mean it wasn’t their secondary goal. They probably knew more. And I bet they are still alive and just partying with said races and abandoning their child for that.

It is their sole duty to only look after their own kind. The dragons, breezies and every creature else are none of their business. Yeah, right. Isn’t that Sunny’s point of making friends? It’s just like ANG all over again except instead of 3 pony tribes, it’s one pony tribe, and them. And I wish that’s a plotline too.
Also, Sunny is interested in visiting the Alicorn Homelands.
Don’t think we’ll be able to get to that.

Learn about Rarity? She’s pretty popular there. Just any sort of history lesson.
While the other species do have some pretty good lore, it was pretty much only relevant during G4’s time. Plus, there was never any lore about the diplomatic relations between the species. If they wanted to actually do something with the other species, they would more or less have to create new lore from scratch.
And this, I don’t mind. Except now it’ll never happen. G5 is now our definition of Flat earth. From 3 places purgatory, we’ve now entered 4th place purgatory. There’s nothing else beyond the same 4 places and not a single character there wanted to get out of their literal comfort zone. I get that some of you have never ever even until now, travelled to other countries. But by doing that, you at least get to understand the culture and people living there more and not be holed up and becoming a complete shut-in.
@Briarlight
To this day, I don’t understand why Zecora gets the free pass in appearance and popularity. What about others like her?

Uh…
A free pass? Wdym
Idk she’s a prominent s1 character and the only zebra?
Yeah…not just the stuff with Zecora…I don’t have the slightest clue what anything quoted above was supposed to mean. Now we’re comparing G5 to a flat earth? <_<

Was the only zebra. There are many others after her now and yet she still outshines them. Rarely you get art about other zebras even though they do exist. And I’m not talking about the OCs.
@CloudMistDragon
There’s only and after g5 ends only 4 places. There’s a whole world out there yet after all that they practically never exist nor matter anymore.

I know she appears in TYT but what about in MYM?
She doesn’t appear in MYM. Not really a big deal.
That doesn’t mean it wasn’t their secondary goal. They probably knew more.
They died before they accomplished their main goal, much less some hypothetical secondary goal.
It is their sole duty to only look after their own kind. The dragons, breezies and every creature else are none of their business. Yeah, right. Isn’t that Sunny’s point of making friends? It’s just like ANG all over again except instead of 3 pony tribes, it’s one pony tribe, and them. And I wish that’s a plotline too.
There are plenty of locations Sunny would probably like to visit, but, again, Sunny does not have extensive knowledge of what’s out there, much less on how to get there.
Don’t think we’ll be able to get to that.
You might not because you don’t actually watch TYT, but the rest of us will. The point is that there are locations Sunny would like to visit.
Learn about Rarity? She’s pretty popular there. Just any sort of history lesson.
G4 didn’t even establish anything about Manehattan. It’s just a carbon copy of New York.
And this, I don’t mind. Except now it’ll never happen. G5 is now our definition of Flat earth. From 3 places purgatory, we’ve now entered 4th place purgatory. There’s nothing else beyond the same 4 places and not a single character there wanted to get out of their literal comfort zone.
Not sure I agree with your math there.
  1. Maretime Bay
  2. Zephyr Heights
  3. Bridlewood
  4. Ruins of Canterlot
  5. Basaltic Caves
  6. Opaline’s Castle
  7. Isle of Scaly
  8. Starlight Ridge
  9. Sparkling Sea
  10. Skyros
  11. Candlebright Cove
There are even more locations, but it’s getting late.

First 2 sounds to me like “no big deal” for both. Which I definitely expected you to say. It’s not important, well except for the very pony she idolised, because she didn’t do all that for nothing. Sunny and friends are sadly proving the detractors right since they haven’t bothered to fix it because…
Sunny does not have extensive knowledge of what’s out there, much less on how to get there.
Doesn’t mean they shouldn’t try. I guess the only upgrade over Twilight is that all of them are not nerdy bookworms. The positive term for them is smart. And none had the booksmarts nor even epiphany to even think of such to begin with. But you know, it’s not important, right. Whatever problems outside theirs isn’t theirs.

I didn’t think you would include places that we’ll never visit or explore further or even the comic locations. Especially the latter, because I thought a lot of people here didn’t like those. After issue 10 ended, people just kinda stopped caring. Not very angry but not happy either. Just meh. Whatever they cook up next, it better not be related to Hasbro’s ponyverse
