I know a lot of people are tired and sick of complaining about G5 but honestly even honest critique is shunned. I understand just dunking on the series senselessly is annoying but to actively condemn people giving their honest feelings on the series is just as bad as needlessly insulting it. But anyways besides that, I was so hopeful for G5. Infact the "which pony is your favorite" in the G5 thread was made by my old account and I would try my best to post all the new info on it. But years later I have grown tired and with every new episode I just think "I wish they could've put the money and resources from this to an actual good quality series" I do not think g5 is bad however it is extremely unfocused. The two series being split is definitely something i'm not a fan of at all. The thing that really set off red flags for me was when such a big moment in the story, something that would be a game changer and cause excitement was just thrown in a one off chapter comic. Glimpses of g4 are used as fan bait rather than anything meaningful to the story. Nothing in g5 feels impactful or filled with passion. It's all corporate, more so than g4 which is wild since it too was made purely to sell toys. However it was still able to capture the attention of groups of all ages with interesting stories, characters, and designs. Meanwhile g5 has a very hard time developing characters and making them enjoyable. The characters I like the most like Misty are only good because they have some hint of development but it's still so contrived and trope-y that it barely holds any weight to it. I am at this point just waiting for g6. I hope this generation doesn't continue for much longer so they can put their resources to a new gen and learn from their mistakes. I do not want a repeat of g4 and i'm not criticizing g5 because i like g4 so much. In fact I would actively encourage an entirely new generation with new lore and characters. The old g5 concepts were much better even if i didn't like their reuse of the mane6.
