Sky Knight 1,172 July 11, 2015 Share July 11, 2015 What future awaits the MLP fandom? What do you foresee the future for us to be? Will the shows popularity among Adults and Teens grow further more? Will the show be tailored more towards its Teen and Adult audience? Will it become as normal as watching the next big football game? Share your thoughts on where the franchise is heading below. 2 created by Blue Moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeet 2,026 July 11, 2015 Share July 11, 2015 No, the show wont be tailored to us XD And we're probably gonna go to shit in about 5 years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coffee Pony 1,390 July 11, 2015 Share July 11, 2015 The show won't be tailored towards us. Right now the fandom is coming off of its popularity boom and is mellowing out and maturing as a fandom. We're still big but not as in your face as we were during the Faust Era. But I think FiM has raised the bar for the MLP Franchise, much like Beast Wars did for Transformers. I think Hasbro'll learn for this and will continue to make good shows for MLP in the future. I can definitely see us evolving into a franchise fandom if Hasbro keeps coming out with good shows. Mind you we will have our equivalent to the Transformers Geewunners and Pokemon Genwunners (though we have them now, they're called Seezunwunners.) but those will only be a minority. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,301 July 11, 2015 Share July 11, 2015 Will the shows popularity among Adults and Teens grow further more? Probably. Will the show be tailored more towards its Teen and Adult audience? I hope not. Will it become as normal as watching the next big football game? Watching MLP:FIM is already comparatively more normal for me than watching sports. xD But no, it won't. 5 "It uses the faculty of what you call imagination. But that does not mean making things up.

Inactive Account 2 18 July 11, 2015 Share July 11, 2015 The fandom continues to do the same routine as it did before, darling. Every time a generally accepted headcanon is going to be smashed it's going to lose a considerable amount of its fanbase until reaching that base number where only those will stay who're going to enjoy literally everything they are being fed so long as there are ponies, headcanon fuel and dank memes to be seen. Of course that minority won't be just a couple hundred people, but I estimate them around 10-20k fans, but those fans will always keep on saying that 'the show is only getting better', and 'the fandom is just growing' and 'they have no influence to the show' because they're so closed into their own little world they can't be bothered to think or look around. In one word: An Asylum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
碇 シンジン 27,431 July 11, 2015 Share July 11, 2015 I don't know what will happen but I enjoy the show as long as its happy =) Of course that minority won't be just a couple hundred people, but I estimate them around 10-20k fans, but those fans will always keep on saying that 'the show is only getting better', and 'the fandom is just growing' and 'they have no influence to the show' because they're so closed into their own little world they can't be bothered to think or look around. This is me basically but I look around and I think, but I choose to be happy because I seen that being happy is more happy than complaining about the content. I think these days I don't like the majority of this fandom because the negativity hurts me =/ So I rather stay in little happy world or group than in big not happy group. 2 Rarity Fan Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicSpark 2,120 July 11, 2015 Share July 11, 2015 This fandom like any evolves and changes I will say yes it has quiet down, That's why I was a little worried if I was too late, But there are lots of new people getting interested in the fandom and the content both music and art is amazing. No the show will never be tailored for adults. I still get looked at as weird by some people for watching MLP but its still normal to me as is watching anime and scifi 2 Ask Cosmic Spark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Envy 6,127 July 11, 2015 Share July 11, 2015 (edited) Note: The 'Brony' fandom shouldn't be called the 'MLP fandom', more like a 'FiM fandom'. To be blunt, I don't see the Brony fandom keeping steam too long after G4 ends. I could be wrong, of course... But the fandom was built on taking down past generations of MLP to build up hype for FiM. The distinction between "MLP fandom" and "FiM fandom" is important here. Not even counting the fact that MLP is a toy franchise and thus may not always have an animation (G2 didn't), there are soooo many ways that G5 could go that would repel the FiM/Brony fandom. It won't die. But the communities will be nothing like they were before. Either way... It happens. In less than ten years this forum will not be the same.

Blackened 512 July 11, 2015 Share July 11, 2015 (edited) Unless we're lucky, the fandom might die out in 5-10 years. There's also the possibility that if G4.5 or G5 comes out, the show may not be made with the same intentions as FiM. Also, with the whole "tailored to teens and adults" part, get real. It won't happen. Edited July 11, 2015 by Blackened "Have you ever felt the need to see more than you can see?" Est. 1997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megas 27,539 July 11, 2015 Share July 11, 2015 (edited) What future awaits the MLP fandom? Unless there's another change that causes another fandom drama war, I don't see anything changing aside from the amount of people who want to piss and moan over everything involving Rainbow Dash and complain about anything going up What do you foresee the future for us to be? See above Will the shows popularity among Adults and Teens grow further more? It's possible Will the show be tailored more towards its Teen and Adult audience? Will it become as normal as watching the next big football game? lol no Edited July 12, 2015 by Megas75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
