Yup, we so seldom have the “I’m glad I grew up with this, but this is good too.” mentality but more “it’s either this, or that, no in between.”
It’s also funny how we put G4 on this massive pedestal to shoot down G5 but then if you go around you can see “G4 worldbuilding is bad!”, “Celestia is useless!”, “Starlight Glimmer is a bad character!”, “The finale is bad!”, and “Discord is awful!” (admittedly this one is from me). Not saying I like the over negativity toward G4 as well and obviously most who say these probably prefer G5 too. Just offering some perspective.

Honestly between everything discussed here and everything extremely negative said towrd G4 on other threads, I don’t think we enjoy either generation at all.

@SpectroKeronian
I dunno, I always thought MYM was the better of the two series, so I can’t really imagine what flaws there are that are especially apparent in it that force you to be negative
@SpectroKeronian
Even without a G5 perspective, a lot of the early worldbuilding for G4 consisted of “make a horse pun for a real world place”

I’ll be honest, I was anticipating future content after the movie. That all changed when the episodes actually came out. It felt like a 180 degree turn. Like I’m sorry, but it does feel off. Even without a G4 mindset the rest of G5 feels shallow on its own. And when inconsistent G4 stuff is brought up it forces me to talk about it. I wanted to like it, I really did, but it was kinda like finding a needle in a haystack. I can make a list of it but I’m afraid people will shit on me for it, even if I do have decent points.

Idk if I’m reading that last part wrong, but there are blatant issues (mostly in MYM) that’s hard to not be negative about. My biggest guess as to why people go so hard against G5’s flaws (actual ones) is simply because it’s a sequel series. The feel of something degrading something that was beloved by many (even with its own flaws) feels a lot more impactful in some way. This is what I’ve been saying for the longest time, if G5 was a separate series with its own universe instead of basing of a previous one can cause backlash, depending on how things are written. There actually are examples of a sequel series being more successful than the original.

Guys, “mlp g5 is ugly” is not a criticism. It’s a downright insult. G5 is incredibly flawed, so is G4. Listing the flaws of a series doesn’t require 2 videos to do. Not even the Nostalgia Critic milks negativity this hard. Stop saying it’s just criticism when it’s clearly having a hard on for G5 more than G5 fans do.

@kreeeeeez
Being told to KYS is a very normal response on twitter, so yes I am ignoring that, as should you. Twitter users opinions don’t matter, they dedicate their lives to being nasty.
Rofl what kind of advice is that - “Sure, they broke your leg, but they do that to everybody, you’re not special” goddamn
@Background Pony #0357
Bronies are bronies. We don’t separate who also likes G1 and who likes G3. The idea that G5 fans are so unreasonable that they must be kept away from the rest of the fandom is really depressing.
And fictional
G4 has had some really toxic fans, and we’ve since gotten rid of them.
Currently pressing “X” to doubt
@Jonny Manz
[…] I watched that two-part Star Strike video and it was very good. G5 is incredibly flawed. A video talking about all the good parts instead would be even sadder, because it would highlight the potential it never reached. But I’d still like to see someone make such a video. Maybe you could do that? Just make sure you send me a link.
Darn, you got me, I’m too lazy to do that (at least right now) - but I can recommend a couple channels: FaolanCortez (the “Yay-or-Neigh” reviews - there are currently ones for ANG, as well as MYM Chapters 1 and 2, and one for Chapter 3, or Winter Wishday, is in the works) and Doc Anubis (has reviews of every piece of G5 animated material, as well as the comics). I know there are others, but I haven’t watched them, so I can’t personally vouch for them.
I got in trouble a full year ago … but I’d still do it again.
Incredible - also, confirms something for me that I’d suspected regarding you but wasn’t sure about. What that is, I’ll keep to myself, and instead just say it helped me to realize that it really isn’t worth my time responding any further (sometimes I have trouble telling that for myself, so thanks for helping me to figure it out)
@NLTLF
As long as there’s another stipulation that people are free to take the suggestions under advisement, or ignore them, and be respectful of when people say they don’t really want suggestions, then that’s fair (but I understand it’s a matter of degrees)

I only agree with the idea that people shouldn’t outright tell each other how to feel about inconsequential shit if given the stipulation that people should still be able to give and take lighter suggestions on how to feel about inconcequential shit

Some people take it very differently. I was dog piled once and the emotional pain was unbearable. I have autism so it was even worse and was harder to ignore. I wasn’t told to kms specifically but those people were legit jerks to me. I doubt you understand the pain how other folks feel. Not everyone is the same.

@kreeeeeez
The designs for G5 are definitely diverse in TYT, you are right. Being told to KYS is a very normal response on twitter, so yes I am ignoring that, as should you. Twitter users opinions don’t matter, they dedicate their lives to being nasty.
@Background Pony #0357
Bronies are bronies. We don’t separate who also likes G1 and who likes G3. The idea that G5 fans are so unreasonable that they must be kept away from the rest of the fandom is really depressing. G4 has had some really toxic fans, and we’ve since gotten rid of them. Not that you can really ban someone from a fandom, but we sure don’t welcome their sort to places like this. I’m sure what we’re seeing is those same sorts latching onto the new fandoms that spring up. It’s what happened to the Steven Universe fandom. This is a temporary problem that will go away in time… And will probably reappear for G6 sadly.
@Jonny Manz
I got in trouble a full year ago: for telling someone they were looking real lame for crying over mistreatment to a fictional character. And then for telling someone else their black and red OC hit all the bad stereotypes and then some.
I did not do it tactfully, and that’s what I’d do differently now, but I’d still do it again. Though… What does that have to do with anything here??? I’ve been a member there for 13 years and have barely ever got in trouble. Was this the only dirt on me that existed? That’s… Pretty cool to find out.
Anyway I watched that two-part Star Strike video and it was very good. G5 is incredibly flawed. A video talking about all the good parts instead would be even sadder, because it would highlight the potential it never reached. But I’d still like to see someone make such a video. Maybe you could do that? Just make sure you send me a link.
