G5 is much more meta than G4. Yes, I know we all have and have had our issues with the comics and the side shows. But in my opinion (so far) G5 is really a composite of the movie, the specials, the comics and TYT.
I'm not 100% convinced of it __yet__, but a lot of things already indicate to me that G5 can only be enjoyed and understood when it's all tied together. Unlike G4. Say: G4 rules should perhaps be considered regarding G5. The creators seem to work in a different way than was usual in G4. Whether one likes it or not. ;-)D
