You’re 2 months late. I probably would have commented the meme of Mr. Incredibles saying shut the fuck up but honestly I don’t want to waste the effort. I finally stopped caring now. MLP is nothing to me anymore. It’s an empty husk of the past.

Eh, don’t let the vocal ones get you down. I may not be a huge fan of G5, but that’s mostly because of its shift in art style; it’s a personal taste thing. I actually like a lot of what G5 is doing. People whine about Spike, but you’re right, the poor guy never had it very good.
But you shouldn’t hate the fandom for one group alone. And I’m sorry you’ve been pushed to this point. I’ve been around here for a long time - in the Herd, not Derpi - and I have seen a lot of people come and go. But through it all, I accept the old core values of love and tolerance as my creed, even if some people think its just a meme.

I mean it is annoying yes, but that’s all Fandom tho. they’re just upset g4 is over and g5 had a weak start, well the movie a new generation was pretty good, but jeeze, it’s just a dumb cartoon for little girls, not much to it lol

Both generations suck. My Little Pony sucks. I regretted ever caring about it.
It’s so funny how this thread still continues to go “Pfft, G5 doesn’t get enough art so it cannot be liked and it’s a fact so don’t argue with me I’m definitely right lol” after Myoozik tried his best to look on the bright side. We’re really hellbent on hating this generation aren’t we? I know I don’t watch anymore but the fact that this shit is still happening pisses me off. I hate this fandom. I hate this fandom so much.

@SwingtownDerp
It’s highly likely. Hasbro had to shell out the big bucks to make the G4 episodes. When they lost a ton of money (star wars toys no one bought) they lacked the funds to make more of G4 proper. This would mean they left the majority of aspects of a “new series” to the parent company of the station, that being CN. This would be why the style is the bean faced with big heads and utterly nonsensical plots that hit a reset button at the end of each episode.

The owners of G4 are discovery family, formerly The Hub. They don’t own MLP, but they own G4 and all the characters. Hasbro didn’t look at the fine print in the deal.
Any use of the G4 cast in any manner requires Hasbro to fork over money to Discovery Family. It’s also likely that the more the character looks like themselves, the more it costs, hence why Spike looks so dang bad.

Lauren never owned MLP. Not in any sense. The creative director, the creator, a director, main writer is just an employee of the corporation running shows. It’s super rare for the guy or lass who is credited with being “creator” to actually own the franchise. Almost non existent. That’s why good shows get suddenly cancelled and the “creator” is “extremely disappointed” every time. Because he has no rights to the show - he gets money for running it creatively. But the corporation gets to decide, cancel, renew etc.
Dunno who owns the g4 MLP TV series rn. But it’s probably just Hasbro, the main coropration and not a channel broadcasting it, if I might risk an educated guess and Hasbro sells the rights for channels to broadcast it?

@Mr.Myoozik
The amount of content G5 has in terms of fan content is pitiable, only barely above content for anything pre G4, which is a horrific drop considering people joined in on G4 BECAUSE of it having solid writing and a rather consistent progression of events.
All G5 is good for us picking out a couple of things to use as launchpads for fanfics. it’s a shame they tried to tie it to G4 because it meant that G5 would forever be in G4’s shadow, and that’s not even getting into the legal issues because hasbro doesn’t really own G4.

The amount of fanart, fanfiction and fan animations of G5 that are floating around not just here, but in places like Twitter and Youtube say otherwise that it’s a show that quote “can’t be enjoyed”
If that’s what you think about it, which is hardly an unpopular opinion itself, more power to you then, I personally got enjoyment out of it

It never gets interesting. I watched it all, both of the series, the comics too, and the “interesting” parts are ideas they toss in and then never do anything with. G5 is pure concentrated potential with zero substance. Watching it like a normal show will end in a bad time.
But if you’re a loser nerd like me who is desperate for any semi-canon lore, then G5 does have at least a few concepts in there that will prime you to write a big ol fanfic. G5 can’t be enjoyed, but it can be… ugh, unicycled.

Well that’s out of character for Rarity to say
I also saw the description on the DeviantArt upload, it’s a shame you gave up on it because right around the end of Make Your Mark, the 3D series, it does actually get interesting and better when they introduced Spike, it just had its plug pulled too quickly. The 2D bean mouth series, Tell Your Tale is very hit or miss

Yeah, Spike’s G5 model is LITERALLY a pegasus model. They didn’t even try with the dragons, it’s downright embarrassing and ugly.
