Hey everyone, I know I've said some negative things about g5, but I want you all to know that I've changed. I decided to copy and paste my response to a thread below. Enjoy!
Oh boy, long post time. I'm going to recite my entire journey from a stubborn, depressed dude to a believer!
I'm not gonna lie. When I first heard about g5, I didn't believe it. But as it started to become more and more believable, I got really worried. It didn't help that I was going through a brief period of depression, either.
The show that I had only started watching two months earlier, the show that had already helped me through one of the most depressing times my life, was going to end. Just like that.
As you can imagine, I was pissed. I was mad at the world, because I felt that everything I would love would be taken from me before I knew what happened. I slipped right back into depression. Now, at this point, I had just watched Sleepless In Ponyville, which is still one of my favorite episodes (this episode aired during the 'golden age of mlp', when the show was at its peak, and there weren't any controversies or problems). Since all I had watched was the first few seasons, I had no opinion of the problems facing the show now because I hadn't seen any of them yet. To me, the show was still FRESH and EXCITING.
Now, I'm on season 5. I have done my research on the problems facing the show, and I understand them. I have accepted that the first few seasons are over, and those memories will be with me forever. I won't forget the joy the show gave me. The show has changed a lot since seasons 1 and 2, and despite all the changes in the show that I may not have agreed with, I still LOVE THIS SHOW. I will always love My Little Pony, because I am (as cheesy as it sounds) very, very grateful for how much it helped with my life.
Look at Star Wars! Lots of lifelong fans dislike the new movies, but they still love the series! Pony will be the same way for me.
And besides, shows that run on forever (Simpsons, fairly odd parents) may have been great in the early days, but they deteriorate. I don't want that to happen to the ponies I know and love.
So, despite my past hatred of generation 5, I have decided to change my ways and embrace the new generation with open arms, because I won't let any changes to this awesome show get me down. They are still the same ponies, this is still the same show, just changed up a bit!
(I just hope they at least make Twilight a Unicorn, though...)
;tldr, I will always love MLP no matter what, and I'd rather them continue the show with a new generation than run out of ideas and end up messing the show up. I put my faith in the crew to make MLP even better!
Sorry about the long post.
