Unfortunately, Hasbro was unhappy the DHX didn’t want to kill off Twilight and her friends, so they abandoned them and got the other studio to take over.

That’s a really good idea, though. As long as Twilight and her friends don’t die, I love to see more characters. It was Hasbro that said “Get rid of this hick piece of shit, Applejack!!! We fucking hate her!!!!!!! In fact, get rid of all the Mane Six NOW!!!!!!!!!” And that’s how G5 was born.

I don’t know which would be better, Haber’s decision or Hasbro’s decision…  
Starlight has lots of room for development while Mane Six are overdeveloping, but it is also jarring to suddenly change the main character.

At that they should have just made their own show if they wanted to redo the entire cast. Given S6’s poor and uneven quality, it’s less “they had nothing more to do” and more “they didn’t care”
 
@SparkleDash  
Now none of that was true. We don’t know what happened to change everything, G5 was initially planned as a reboot done with a rebooted mane 6(think how Transformers always starts with Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, etc.), but more likely than anything they changed everything entirely when everything was getting leaked which also probably is what finally ended Hasbro’s relationship with DHX.
 
And I really don’t buy that Hasbro wants to get rid of the mane 6, both because they veto’d Haber’s idea of replacing them, they keep them around for G5 in small ways, and they’re still making plenty of merch for them despite G5 being on the horizon

True.  
And huh, if the leaks were the reason, I wonder if that also is why they moved the movie and series to Netflix?

@Kiryu-Chan  
True, but tbf, even if there was no COVID, do you think Hasbro would want to risk a repeat of the S9 finale leak?
 
@WyrmSpawN  
Not sure if that was sarcasm or not.

I mean, a pandemic started that was killing hundreds of thousands of people, theaters were being closed for nearly a whole year, and the world at large had no idea what was going to happen, but okay

Hitch Trailblazer has one of the most coherent and interesting character designs of the G5 Mane Cast. Number One obviously being Sunny herself, Zipp is kinda boring, Izzy and Pipp with their differently colored horn and wings respectively are kinda distracting.

Even Hasbro was too short-sighted to see how much the mane six need Applejack.
 
@WyrmSpawN
 
Yeah, FiM was pretty much the only thing giving Discovery Family a reason for existing.
 
Moving to Netflix just ensures that it won’t have any special treatment. And that the show will be lucky to run longer than three seasons.

This is a post for unpopular opinions, my opinion is that I do not like G5 or its fans, they are ridiculously toxic

Yeah Hasbro has the final say on any an all things officially pony.
 
If it was being made JUST by Netflix then Netflix would get to decide how long it runs for, but since Hasbro is in charge they get to decide how long they want it to go on for
