    I loved Jurassic World : Dominion and I thought it was a perfect way to end the era of Jurassic.

    Same.

    The newer movies have had their issues, true. But they've still been much more faithful and watchable (:proud:) than, e.g., the Star Wars Sequels (:Cozy:).

    How would you re-write G5?

    If nothing else, it wouldn't be a sequel. IMO, that decision was the worst of both worlds: doubling down on the canonicity of the most-contested Season (9), while overriding what positive impact it did have.

    I'd have it be an AU, G4 would be akin to the Power Ponies, etc.

    A Bad Ending Or No Ending: Which Is Worse?

    Using Star Wars as a perfect example, fans waited for decades to see what happened to the characters of the original trilogy. What we finally ended up getting was total sh*t. So, as desperate as many fans (including myself) were, it would have been far better to have had no ending at all than to have the abominable Disney sequels leave a poisoned taste in the mouth. I used to think there was nothing worse than a great story left unfinished, but that opinion has sadly changed.

    Worse? There was good post-OT content… until Disney swept it under the rug to make room for their hatefiction.

    Officially worried about G5

    in MLP Generation 5 (G5)

    Like some others here — I was already worried, once I learned that it does to G4 what The Force Awakens did to Return Of The Jedi.

    I also don't want Sombra to return. After S9 ruined him for a lot of fans (including yours truly), a popular saving-grace has been the headcanon of "He was a fake, and the real Sombra's story ended in Siege Of The Crystal Empire"; him returning would rob us of even that.

    30 gold nuggets?!?!  That was…a bit much, but thank you very much!

    How long did it take to collect that many?  I ask because I hit all six rocks on my island and take Kapp’n boat tour and hit the rocks in that island just about every day, and I average less than one gold nugget per day!

    Less impressive than you think: I just went to a Treasure Island in one of those Twitch streams.:derp:

    Hot take: I think the root of all the problems MLP:FiM has is that it doesn’t have a solid sense of continuity and consistency

    Sombra got done dirty that way:  he became a regular reformed pony in some of the comics around the time S3 or S4 were out, but he came back as a gaseous villain in S9.

    Like General Grievous… Clone Wars 2003 was told he'd be a thing in Revenge Of The Sith, and was given permission to introduce him, but wasn't told about his personality. That's why he debuted as an efficient edgelord — then, when ROTS came out, was suddenly a cyborg Snidely Whiplash.

    Or Snoke… J.J. Abrams introduced him as a polite, pragmatic enigma (similar to Thrawn and Revan). Then Rian Johnson "subverted" him into a smug, sadistic Hugh Hefner–impersonator. Then Abrams retconned him into a prototype of Dark Empire 2.0.

    IDW reveals more of "Return To Canterlot" + Discord in G5?

    in My Little Pony G5 IDW Comics

    Actually, I don't think it was the disappearance of magic that would cause Discord to die. Because I remember in the season 6 finale of MLP FiM, Discord was in an environment where his sort of magic should've been negated. Chrysalis' throne had magic-absorbing properties, so he should've disappeared then if lack of magic was able to kill him. Another similar case happened in the season 9 finale where his magic was stolen using Grogar's bell.

    He didn't start vanishing, until he made too many changes to himself and his dimension.

    You're right. One has to do much more than negate it.
