Just a small ramble about my thoughts...

I didn't realize G5 was even cancelled until 5 minutes ago, I watched and enjoyed the movie, but I didn't really keep up with any of the shorts or show on Netflix. While I didn't dislike G5, I sort of expected it to end a little sooner. If the Gen 6 leaks with Gen 4 characters are real, it seems like they're trying to recreate the popularity of G4 with the characters and style or at least bring back some G4 fans. The style does look good, and I think it does have a lot of potential, but if it isn't given a chance or if the writing doesn't hold up, it'll probably fizzle out as well. I have mixed feelings about a Gen5 and Gen4 crossover. I do think it'd be interesting, and I do like the characters, I think I'd rather just have another original reboot like with previous generations, just completely disconnected from all previous generations. Maybe it's possible that some of the backlash that G5 got has made Hasbro a bit hesitant to entirely reboot the characters or universe? But I think what makes all the MLP generations stand out is just how different they all are from each other, one of my dislikes about G5 is that it's still connected to G4 when I think it would make more sense in universe for it to be it's own thing.

Either way, I am excited for whatever comes next and I'll try to go in with an open mind. I did like some parts of Gen5 and I am a huge G4 fan, so I'm still hopeful!
