MLP G5 Discussion and Speculation Thread

Ah, I too was a child when G4 first aired and have been watching ever since. Been in the Brony fandom for a while too, and while I’ve had mostly good experiences, like a lot of fandoms I’ve seen enough…entitlement that I worry about it becoming too toxic. I feel like it’ll be fine, the majority of people in it are just fine. But unfortunately, there will probably be a vocal minority of badness. There will be a big mix of young adults/older teenagers who grew up with G4, people who got into G4 as adults and are sticking around, adults who didn’t jump onto G4 but are here now, people who were fans ever since G1, heck, even kids who were too young to be around for G4 who have perhaps too much internet access. So even if the fandom won’t reach the same highs as 2012, it will still be an interesting time.

I must admit; Pipp’s new eye color (green) is kind of difficult to get used to when trying to think of accuracy in palette; especially since her old eye color (pink) was the only one revealed for two whole months (thus lots of fanart has already used it before her new eye color was introduced).

So far, I like the aesthetics enough, but I don’t actually expect G5 to appeal to me. If I’m right, no harm done. If I’m wrong, great!
 
I discovered FiM three months out of high school, while sitting on my dad’s couch with my new laptop. FiM is something that was with me for almost the entirety of my transition from teenager to adult. Each season coincides with a chapter of my life. Point being, I highly doubt G5 is going to have the same meaning that G4 had.

I think that sentimental feeling will be missing for a lot of us…I just hope it could be something special for new folks.

I said more than that. I was saying the sixth character would also be temporary, and not just be a simple addition to the main cast. Basically; While the sixth character would join the main cast in the middle of the movie, the character also leaves the main cast near the end of the movie, so there would be only five main characters after the movie ends.

Maybe it’s like Final Fantasy II, and the 6th character slot gets swapped out every other episode because they keep getting killed.
