There is a slight problem that it’s technically already trying to live off FiM’s previous success by just being the implied far-off future. Personally, I do think this was mostly meant to be it’s own thing. But in an attempt to try to keep G4’s fanbase interested they put in the part where this is supposedly the future. When it feels like there’s too many differences (Example: Animals having horns and/or wings or those odd ball shapes for the bunnies when G4 had pretty normal looking animals, Cutie Marks on only one side (Even if that’s how it was in generations before G4. In the show it’s pretty clear there’s marks on both sides)) not to mention the many unexplained questions of how we got the to the end of G4 and Start of G5 that I’m not sure will ever get a clear answer other then to leave the fans to their own theories on what happened in between.

My sentiments exactly. Friendship is Magic is over, I’d prefer G5 try and be its own thing and just occasionally have elements that remind the audience that they’re in the future of that version of Equestria and otherwise not try and live off of FiM’s previous success. I fear it won’t last long if it’s unable to stand on its own.
