The Princess of Friendship herself would naturally be the optimal choice when picking a type of MLP character for a friend. She would be the most knowledgeable in befriending friends and the friendly nature of friendliness.

I'm always watching MLP. It's always on. Always running in my mind. Even when I sleep. Always.

Yeah, I can see how the series could wrap up with Sunset Shimmer returning to Equestria after she and the Remane 6 survive some inter-dimensional magic apocalypse. I wouldn't be surprised if we finally came across the human Sunset Shimmer(assuming she still exists). All of the magical crises in the series ultimately stem from Sunset's decision to steal Twilight's crown in the first place. The Sirens empowerment, the genesis of Midnight Sparkle and the discovery of the 'harmony crystals' or whatever they're being called is all resultant of her actions. Until magic is removed from that world and/or Sunset Shimmer returns, these kinds of things will likely continue.

Cold tacos? Now that is evil.

They were popular from the beginning so I was surprised to see that they didn't get a cameo in FG. That was effectively the height of their popularity and the likelihood of any return has only lessened with every passing installment. It's a shame too as it would have added an extra bit of continuity and I think pretty much all the fans would appreciate the callback. But I fear we've seen the last of Adagio, Sonata and Aria.

But other than that I don't have any particular high hopes or ill will for the community. I'm mostly in it for the lolz.

Being strong and defending oneself and one's culture doesn't constitute villainy in my view. It seems a lot closer to heroism if you ask me.

Of course it was sarcastic... Racism is awesome!

Uh, racism is bad, mkay?

Possible. In the case where Hasbro had gone bankrupt it would almost be certain since they could set a higher price for total acquisition rather than pawning off their corporate assets and intellectual properties one by one. While Disney probably has enough liquidity to give an attractive offer to Hasbro, it wouldn't make much financial sense to buy them outright. Not when they cover two interrelated but still separate markets. Far cheaper and easier to simply partner up when convenient for the sake of merchandising or producing film and TV projects. Both companies are strong, competitive conglomerates with their own family brands, so it's more efficient to work in tandem when a profitable opportunity arises and stick to their own works when not.

Yeah I'd be pretty shocked to see Hasbro give up their second most profitable franchise just like that. Like you outlined in your opening post, it would take some drastic circumstances for such a decision to even be on the table. I'm sure Mattel would be happy though. But without knowing which said company would be taking the reigns or how much time had passed since the end of G4 it's hard to from a concrete opinion on the value of such an undertaking. I'm not dead set against the idea in and of itself. I do think if someone was to reboot the series there's a lot of things they could modify and filler that could be taken out which would streamline the larger story(at least as far as it's been shown). Aesthetics is another thing. Depending on how this 'G4x' was animated would be a significant factor. If it looks like cheap trash or over the top CG it could be really distracting from the kind of atmosphere the show tries to set. And what about the voice acting? Will the same cast return to their old roles or will we have new people? Depending on who does the job and how well they do it to honor the original characters, that could be a make or break scenario.
