I don't know. It's still too early to tell.

Yeah. Yup, it has. The show should've ended years ago...

Same.

It just a Batman TAS reference.

Oh boy. Where do I begin? The Derpy Fiasco: Why these sensitive snowflakes has to change somepony that wasn't? It wasn't like Dashie saying something incredibly ableist to Derpy on purpose. Derpy is one of the most pure and beloved characters of the MLP franchise, period. The fans love Derpy for who she is. Once you change her to make her less derp, you're gonna piss off a lot of people just to please a vocal minority. It also doesn't help that the fans going after Amy Keating Rodgers for that incident (which is very disrespectful considering that she has a disabled son). While I'm glad that Derpy still continues to live on throughout the show's lifespan, but this incident shouldn't happen in the first place. The Twilicorn Incident: Okay, now this is most infamous incident out of all them. We all know Magical Mystery Cure and Princess Twilight and how Hasbro handle it very very badly. I feel bad for MA Larson since he become a laughingstock in the MLP community over something that he had no control over. I think it's a situation of very bad timing. Magical Mystery Cure was supposed to be the series finale and FiM was originally going to end after 65 episodes so they rerun in syndication. When Larson finished writing the final script, Hasbro renewed the show for a 4th season and greenlight Equestria Girls. So you could see why Magical Mystery Cure is the way it was. Even though I'm not a big fan of Alicorn Twilight at all, I could see why Hasbro would do it in order to continue the show, even if the idea comes off as corporate shilling. Equestria Girls: That was also a situation of bad timing and corporate driven. Not to long after the Twilicorn fiasco, Hasbro announced Equestria Girls. Everyone is upset about it because it feels like Hasbro was trying to cashing in Monster High. While it's true that fans blow this whole thing way out of proportion, but at the same time I kinda don't blame them because the idea of having candy colored horses turned into high school girls and place them in a generic high school setting was a major turn off. Although, nowadays, a lot of people don't hate Equestria Girls anymore after Rainbow Rocks came out. Personally, I wasn't to crazy about Equestria Girls all that much, but at least I'll say it somewhat better than later seasons of FiM, but that's not saying much. I could go on, but I don't wanna talk about it anymore.

I hope so.

I stopped watching the show after Season 6. Honestly, in hindsight, I should've saw the warning signs when the Season 5 finale aired and stop watching the show after that. Man, Cutie Remark pisses me off the more I think about it. With the old staff left and being replaced with a new staff and taking the show to a different direction, the show wasn't the same ever since. That, and also the fact that I'm starting to get burned out on MLP since it feels like a unhealthy obligation to watch the show than actually enjoying it. Although, I did came back to check out Season 7-9 early this year, and I regretted it (and I tried to wipe it out of my mind). Not to mention, with all the behind the scenes issues that happened through the leaks, interviews, and all that stuff, the show was completely dead to me. It was such a trainwreck. After seeing G5, I'm not interested in going back to watch G4 anymore, even the classic episodes. I would still love the characters and Lauren's creativity. As for FiM? I'm sorry, I just can't take it anymore.

Yeah pretty much. Yeah, there's that.

Well, that's hard to say. The reason why the show became popular as it is was because of 4chan. However, it was popular ironically. 4chan was joking around by making memes out of it. Hasbro didn't really know if FiM was a big hit since 1) it aired on The Hub, a network that no one had at the time, and 2) despite being a popular franchise, MLP was looking at as a joke by the general public. If 4chan never exist, I can guarantee you that no one would even care that much and the show would end after Season 3.

Yeah, I agree. I mean it's okay to showcase some fandom references once in a while as a cute little joke, but not to the point you have to constantly shove it down our throats every single season.

No and I probably never will. But I did watched videos on brony convention on Youtube though.

My thoughts? Well, not too much of a difference when it comes to the Sunny-corn bit, but Sprout's comeuppance should've been in the final product as he manipulate everypony in town throughout the film, yet he didn't held any accountability in the end. I guess they had to cut it due to time constraints, but even then that's no excuse.

Even though I don't watch the show anymore, I'll go with the Season 1-3 by a longshot.

I had been a brony for about 4 years (2013-2016) and I've joined the forums 4 years later, which is March 2021.

I listened to the songs on Youtube on numerous occasions.

I agree. Don't even get me started on the fan pandering....

If you're curious to know what happened in G4 in order to get into G5, then I say go for it. However, since G5 doesn't really affect G4's storyline since it take place in a completely different world with new characters and has a new storyline, you don't have to worry about getting spoiled.

You'll completely forget on what to do with your future like school, work, family, and stuff like that.
