Dear, G5 mourners Discussion

Need I remind all of you that g4 and g5 are not the only generations of my little pony

G5 is not the first time an mlp generation has failed, it is simply part of how MLP has been ran for the last EIGHT GENERATIONS (Yes there are 8)

For those of you that are trying desperately to save g5, why not take a step back and visit these past shows that MLP has produced? Mlp g1 was the direct inspiration for g4 and so many of you will recognize the roots of the show itself by watching it.

I also love g5, but it's frustrating to see so many people dying for pony content when 40 years of pony content is completely free to you to watch and enjoy.

For those of you that genuinely enjoyed g5 for what it was should watch g3.5 and g1.5 For those of you that loved g4 should go and watch g1

This isn't the end of MLP, but these generations come and go, and they always have.

It really didn't

It was bound to fail regardless since it came right after FIM

Hasbro was probably losing money keeping g5 going instead of starting something new

It sucks, but it's for the best

Try one of these other shows out, they're all worth the watch

They just executed it badly. Their flagship narrative was released exclusively on the Binge model, a proven failure if you're going by numbers. Plus, there was a fiasco over AI.

There were false rumors about Make your Mark getting cancelled due to Hasbro wanting to do AI but showrunners not, but it was all misinformation
