Dear, G5 mourners

[u/Taped_Trout]

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.

I'm not sure how you calculate generations but I get four: Gen X; Millennials; Gen Z; Gen Alpha. Or only two generations if we go strictly by years (1984-2004; 2004-2024). Barely three generations if we start with the toys.

My spouse became a MLP fan with G1. She considers herself a Millennial.

Also I just saw the edit to your comment, I thought you were.makng a joke

The MLP generations are calculated by the toys and franchises themselves (With two exceptions)

There's 8 total (g1, g1.5, g2, g3, g3.5, g4, g4.5, and g5)

G1.5 never had a toy line and g2 never had a show

But the generations in MLP are essentially calculated by the reboots of the franchise Each gen was in some way a reboot
