What would you do right after the last episode of MLP G4 ends?

[碇 シンジン 27,431]

Go to the forums, like after every episode =)=)=)=)=)

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,594]

After the inevitable sadness dissipates, I will most likely reflect on how much the show and its fandom has changed my life and I will look back on the past few years and think about what a crazy few years it has been. I will think about all of the friends I have met online during this time and how much I appreciate them all. It will be a long moment of reflection and sincere appreciation for the show, all that I have done here, and all of my friends. ^.^ For me. that is the most positive thing to do, since it will be a sad day when G4 comes to an end. 

[Sunny Fox 5,951]

Go watch the next episode of Steven Universe, I guess.

[IDoNotSpeakEnglish 89]

Re-watch it. And talk to my friends in the MLP Forums about it.

[Jeric 46,852]

Whatever my daily life dictates at the time. There will likely be showering, cooking, dishes, walking the dog, some kind of yard or house work, and general engagement of my fellow humans.

[NovaCosmic 126]

 But seriously, I wonder what G5 would be like?

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Relive it all again! Watch commentaries, fan shorts, listen to fan music. G4 may come to an end but it's spirit will never die. 

[Knight Hadron 372]

While MLP:G4 might "end" its production of new episodes, I doubt that fans will let the fandom die out. I'd be on the forums or fimfiction, as I usually do after an episode. And, I'll be looking foward to G5 or G4.5 or whatever comes next.

 

Edit: Also, I doubt that the MLP franchise is going to die out; it's too big for Hasbro to kill it.

I'll admit, I may cry the day the final episode comes (it'll be embarrassing as hell if G4 ends with the 2017 movie, and I'm crying once the credits roll and I'm out of the theaters like I used to as a kid after every movie I saw at the cinemas) but, because I'll be an adult at around that time, I'll be most likely studying a little bit to help me follow my dream job (yes, I'm THAT kind of a guy), and sometimes I'll be visiting MLP Forums and any remaining Brony websites in my spare time, followed by meeting up with some of my Brony friends IRL that I may have met through meetups/conventions, and maybe at some point, rewatch all my old DVDs/Blu-Rays of MLP: FiM with a bunch of friends at my house, not only for nostalgia, but to say thanks to the Ponies for inspiring us as people at the right time, and of course, Hasbro, DHX Media, Lionsgate and anyone else involved with the production of MLP: FiM. Of course, I won't let my nostalgia cloud my judgement of media in the future this time.

[CaptainDoubloon 856]

I would still stick around the forums for awhile, then I'll wind up finding another special interest.

[NotoriousSMALL 1,984]

Probably be hyped up from how awesome the last episode was and then think welp that was fun and keep on going. Might be a bit sad, id be lying if i said i wouldnt be b/c i obviously really like this show. But i wont be too broken up about it.

I may or may not stay in the fandom.

[yeet 2,027]

Continuing life as normal. Though as I would spend less time online about ponies, I would spend more time on my Warhammer 40,000 army, which by that point will be about 2000 points. *preys to luna for a Dreadnight and Castellan Crowe*

[superdogz1999 551]

On that day, I would download adobe flash and begin making my own episodes.

[FluffyGoat13 375]

Binge watch every episode, every film, everything. I probably wouldn't have anything better to do.

[Kivil 1,721]

Wait for G5 to come out watch it until G6 comes out. Then live my life watching MLP for the rest of my days

[GuyNamedEarl 1,332]

Probably rewatch all the other episodes

[NullAccount 287]

I am going to steal an answer from Nowacking.

 

When that day comes, I will cry and eat a lot of ice cream. Then I will stop crying because I have ice cream. When that ice cream runs out I will cry some more, because I don't have ice cream or ponies.

[[NULL] 906]

I'll probably start watching whatever new shows Mike and/or Brian are working on.

[Freegator 62]

When that day comes, Ash will finally turn 11, digibro will return to pony and I'll (hopefully) be alive along with my grandchildren to witness this life changing event.

[Kothen 279]

I will follow this handy guide whenever Im sad.

 

[ShutterBat 134]

Well.. I would binge watch seasons on Netflix.. Then wait for G5.   

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

Laugh all the way to Hasbro's head office and say in a very intimidation tone "No."

Sure, all things must come to an end...but AMERICAN DAD AND FAMILY GUY HAVE BEEN ON FOR AT LEAST TEN YEARS. If subpar comedy can last that long, Then a super stellar show like MLP: FiM should and WILL last just as long. 

Anyways, if and when that day comes I will start a new MLP show called My Little Pony: Friendship was Magic on a youtube channel, hopefully to be picked up by Hasbro, where Equestria falls due to a decay in the earth. New allies will be forged and new enemies will be made...actually thats too dark.

I'll just start a show made by the fans for the fans. So have all the Youtube Bronies like Rina-Chan voice characters they usually voice on fan made videos.
Instead of focusing soley on the mane six, this show will focus on background ponies as well as some OC characters...like Dusty Kats ponysona and Feld0's alicorn. The fans will call it MLP G4.5

[AlbaTross 1,586]

I think the OP means when FiM ends, as it's a common misconception that shows are directly tied to gens. If FiM ends, it probably won't have anything to do with G4 ending. Personally, I think either Hasbro will decide they're finished telling the story of FiM and/or want to end the show before it ends up being a never ending series that carries on past its prime such as The Simpsons or Family Guy as such a fate could actually be a disservice to the fans despite it carrying on, or the poor handling of the series by Discovery Kids will kill its rating enough for the plug to be pulled, or some other factor will end the show, but I don't think changing gens will be what does it in. Declining ratings or not, FiM has proven itself to be popular enough that if it's still around when G5 is rolled out, I can see Hasbro simply adding characters and elements from G5 to it. If G1 and Pony Tales can include characters from G1 and 2, anything's possible.

 

As for what I will do when the show ends, which I can see happening in the next few years, I will simply continue to live my life. I'm sure I'll fall back even more on my main hobby, which is gaming, and possibly find another show to obsess over. I've been thinking for a while that even if the show ends, it's highly likely that the comics will continue on. It's possible the novel series will end, but I wouldn't be surprised if it also continued. I suppose I don't know for sure that the comics will still be around as that decision rests with Hasbro, but comics don't require things like voice actors, musical scores or a number of things that a tv show and film series require, and neither do novels so in theory they can carry on. Sure, time and resources go into them, but they're already being produced, so Hasbro just has to allow them to continue. Fans who dislike the spinoff media probably won't be comforted by that, but I for one think it's highly likely we'll still be getting at least something official even after the main source material ends.

 

Also, it's highly unlikely Hasbro won't try to replicate the success of FiM with a new series if FiM is axed by that point. Whether they succeed with this new series or not is anyone's guess, but I'm sure FiM will be the first past series they look to for inspiration going forward if they wish to try to make a successful new MLP show. I sincerely hope the days of Hasbro roughly throwing together a series of background noise for little girls like G3 are long over, and I think they'd be fools to ignore the success of FiM over other shows. What they do and what the premise is, is also anyone's guess but I think we can at least expect a valiant effort from Hasbro, even if lightning doesn't strike a second time. There is a chance that what they come up with will win over the Brony fandom once again.

I'd go to the Forums and participate in one of the sure to be many "Remembering G4" threads.
