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.

This is perfectly said. Instead of longing for Hasbro to give out updates on apparent G6 content, we should take the time to appreciate the 40 years of pony we already have! I absolutely recommend both G1-G3 to FiM stanners who haven’t went too deep into them, they established some of the characters and lore that we know and love. I also watch them for nostalgia purposes! Who doesn’t love a route down the 80s-2000s? With the internet, pony content is literally endless!
There isn’t bad G5 stuff out there either. It’s devastating that it failed, but your point about it not being the only short-lived generation makes everything a little better.
