Description

I watched Friendship is Magic for six years and MLP Generation 5 not only rendered all of FiM’s heroes’ victories completely pointless but was rightfully abruptly cancelled. So why make FiM or G5 at all?

Friendship, Art, and Magic (2019) - Celebrated Derpibooru's seventh year anniversary with friends.

So we are not going to get an answer of what happened after fim ending to g5? That sucks. Or did they give some explanation either through the YouTube show or the Netflix stuff that I just missed. To be honest I got gen 3.5 vibes from the first looks but I was willing to give it a chance. Until after the movie where I was like semi prefect cell from dragon ball z abridge, screaming I have so many questions. Then I forgot about it completely until now.

I’d seen that point discussed in the forums and on other sites like Fimficton, I’ll admit I didn’t do much research into it though.
I can get that, still a lot people(myself included) don’t have Netflix and/or don’t feel like paying for it. Being available on youtube was a big reason why TYT was successful at first.

Tbf, that first part is only a rumor AFAIK (but if it is indeed true, then it does reflect poorly).
And yeah, can’t disagree in a logical sense with the second part, but I did love that it was on Netflix (gave it just a little feeling of prestige, and I love Netflix’s UI)

The major undoing of G5 was shoddy execution on the part of Hasbro. Making it a squeal to G4 when they didn’t even hold the copyright to a lot of the later season lore of G4 including some important characters and locations. Limiting MYM to Netflix was another mistake since that reduced its availability to the target audience vs had they put it on youtube which is more widely used not to mention free.

That’s fair - there are numerous ways I wish G5 could’ve been done differently, but none of them have to do with the story or characters. It’s more like, I wish the first season of MYM had done well enough that Netflix was willing to help finance a season 2 (the stuff with Allura was apparently originally intended for that), I wish whatever metric Hasbro was measuring TYT s2 by didn’t cause them to abruptly pull the plug, etc.

How I felt about G5 (except for a few of the characters and Tell Your Tale).

To be fair, it wasn’t really G5 itself that was the problem, it was the way it was set up. It had potential to continue on from where G4 left off, but a combination of higher up interference and poor marketing, the show never really got the proper chance it needed.
