Bruh, there’s like 70% of our OG numbers that left and deny this fandom like it was nothing. That’s like failing easy mode in any game.

Classic first installment wins trope. G4 is weird due to not being a first installment at all.

I would quote that line but decided not to because it makes half sense. I will say this though. The more happy and wholesome a fandom is, the more depressed and cynical they become. And oddly enough, the vice versa can happen too. Ours isn’t the vice versa enough to turn it back. Still, it’s sort of balanced that way.

Like I said, it depends on how the gen is gonna be, none of us can predict the future

Why neutral? What there’s a side now? People who still hold onto hope and people who has given up?

It’s hard not to be down with the fandom’s overwhelming negativity, Hasbro’s complete incompetence, the existence of Wild Manes, and now this absolutely chaotic situation with pony Kamp Koral that probably isn’t even real.

You know for a franchise that’s all about friendship and magic, the fandom is super miserable and cynical half the time
And you’re not exactly helping ^ this case ^. We already have enough negative people in this fandom without you adding to it.

MLP may be in a weird and confusing spot right now, but it can pick itself up with the next installment, depending on what it is and how it performs. If a franchise like Scooby Doo can last for 55 years and running with so many new installments and reboots, some worse than the last and still keep going, then who’s to say My Little Pony won’t be the same? It is a merchandise giant after all, always has been since its conception. Same for other long running Hasbro IP’s like Transformers to name the other obvious example

I’m still confused on whether or not the pictures and video of mlp Camp Coral is real or not, and whether or not it really is G6 or was scrapped.

If I asked everyone else here. They would most definitely copy and paste your answer. Nonetheless, the harder you guys resist, the harder we’ll try.

I don’t know what kind of battle you think is going on. I’m just an ex-fan who is really tired after all that’s been going on.

I feel like part of the reason I even watched this show and joined the fandom was because apart from the first season, FiM appealed to all ages instead of just little girls. It was a kids show, but it wasn’t too much of a kids show.
A more serious retelling of FiM aimed at adult audiences that fixes all the continuity errors and terrible writing decisions would be great but it’d never happen.

This has nothing to do with failing a video game.

“MLP Kamp Koral” I don’t know if that’s supposed to be an insult, but I find that term to be way too funny

Pony shows do have that demographic requirement by law, so Hagwarders had to change… Hopefully I can change that “law” though.

I think there was quite a mix of quality throughout the show. I admit, I found the last season one of the weakest, but even it still had some standout episodes.

G6 should be like G4 - in that it should be an original work unconnected to previous ones and focused on quality.

Not really? It draws elements from all of it’s predecessors while still being quite distinct from them.

That’s what fanfiction is for. Start writing it!

That’s how all generations were up until 5. I agree that they should return to doing it that way, but I can see why Hasbro might be reluctant to give up what they might be tempted to view as a cash cow.

No, they’re very different. 4 draws a lot of inspiration from 1, but few details are copied directly.
For example, 1 had generic fantasy worldbuilding, featured several human and humanoid characters, no alicorns, a large ensemble cast of fairly static characters which gave very little focus on any particular character, and no stallions aside from a single one-off episode.

G4 has very distinctive worldbuilding, focuses primarily on a handful of main characters who grow over time, alicorns but no humans, and several recurring male characters who are actually plot relevant.

With the rumours of g5 being cut short and being cancelled in October
I gotta say Hasbro has turned this generation into a cluster fuck with how they handled it
Also the people happy g5 is getting allegedly canned suck

Here’s to new beginnings, hopefully G6 will be satisfactory; I’d love it if they hired some of the writers from G4.

Although, to be fair, I kinda knew it wasn’t gonna last long. While G5 will at least have a cult following, it might be at best akin to G3 (small, but talked about), but with more art. For the most part.
