The sad part is that legit reasons are more stronger than people’s unconditional love for the show and its changes.

@Hollowfox Jaeger  

 
Because people like to disagree on everything

If OP has a point, why do people disagree?

Yes you are. Meanwhile I’m the only one who actually had faith in MLP:FiM regaining most of its quality if it were to exceed past Season 9.

@Background Pony #ABBE  
That’s why she’s the best.

@Woodcut  
Twilynanas always overthinking things

Why do you use Twilight looking at the different directions, to ask this question?

@northern haste  
FiM would’ve been less stale if they committed to replacing the M6 with the students. Instead, both groups got shafted: the M6 had weird character regressions and the students never got solo episodes to develop their personalities.

@Background Pony #65CD  
The student 6 only had 8 episodes for the 2 seasons they were in

@Background Pony #65CD  
Well, good thing they ended it then!
 
Those other shows got stale and NEVER ended.

@mycarhasaMoustache  
No it isn’t. Completely different levels of technology, Pinkie has a brother and twilight is not the ruler of the equestria In fact I dont even think she’s a princess in the show

@mycarhasaMoustache  
Totally different continuity.

@northern haste  
But its not though. Its the same show. Same characters, Same universe, Same generation of MLP.

@dilfhunter420  
Yeah, maybe. What I understood is that the writers unanimously agreed to create the final season story arc and to conclude the show.

@TheSultanAkbar  
>no one ended the show  
>the company marked it as the final one to be produced  
So… they ended it. The executives who marked it to be the final one ended it. I understand what you’re saying, I just think you misunderstood my wording.

You either forgetting that there’s season 10 or season 10 isn’t canon.

When was that ever said and if you actually watch the show its clearly not suppossed to be in the same continuity

@PUBLIQclopAccountant  
OK, so, that’s Western Animation in a nutshell. Which I understand, why bank on a show, a cartoon mind you, made for children, that is plotly episodic, and thus, more or less unrerunable. I mean, it makes sense for an adult series because adults are more likely to commit to watching the whole thing but most kids would lose interest if they couldn’t follow the show in a clear and understandable way. I know I enjoyed the heck outta Ed Edd and Eddy particularly because every ep. was it’s own sorta thing. It was really cool that way.
 
Unfortunately, when you’re on a format like that, it can be hard to have direction in a show.

@dilfhunter420  
I think you don’t understand that no one “ended” the show, season 9 was just marked as the final one to be produced by the company, so it can continue on to new projects. Not that that’s a bad thing, mind you. G4’s run it’s course, artistically and professionally, at least, if you ask me. I mean, it’s reasonable.

@@cameron  
They ended it at season 9 because shows can’t run for very long. Eventually they ran out of ideas and you could tell us at the end. Continuing it on would mean a serious dip in quality, even more obvious than before.

The biggest problem with FiM as a whole is that it lacked a clear direction ever since Magical Mystery Cure. The original direction was “64 episodes you can show in almost any order and a grand finale” and S4 was mostly a continuation of the same theme (but Twilight has wings now).
 
I, for one, liked the directions they explored in later seasons, but the overall story of the series was hampered because they never committed to any of the directions.

When I first saw that, I thought it read: “Am I the only one blablablablablablablabla”

@Background Pony #D3DA  
They usually try to after all

@William Flutter  
Me neither. I wouldn’t be surprised. Previous gens in terms of TV media before G4 didn’t last 10 years. G1 lasted for 2 years, G2 lasted for one year, and G3 lasted for 7 years. I think the 10 year run of G4 can tell us how exhausted the franchise must be. So I think G5 could be short lived, though there are people expecting it to be as good as G4 or better. And with the 2017 leaks, it seems like they have more plans for it. But it’s been three years since those leaks, so things may have changed from what was originally planned. FIM was a turning point for the franchise and I feel Hasbro will try too hard to make lightning strike twice.

@@cameron  
True
 
@Background Pony #D3DA  
I wouldnt mind that, hopefully it means that therell be another Transformer series that ends with more then 3 seasons
