Zealous Spark 16 September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 When MLP Friendship is magic ends, Will that take the fandom with it? or will they make a new title of MLP Friendship is magic like something that seems different, Like say this... My little pony: Friendship is magic, Will it be like- My Little Pony: Fandom is Magic, Or something that relates to a whole new story with new characters and stuff like that? like My Little Pony: Derpy Muffins Power. I'm just wandering.. and i hope they will make a new series from the original Series. Or tell the story in their prospective of Princess Celestia and Luna.

Wingnut 6,994 September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 Here's a bit of perspective. Star Trek the Original Series went three seasons and 79 episodes in the 1960s. I'd say that show's fandom has lived well past that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superdogz1999 551 September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 (edited) It would not end with the TV show. In fact Firefly only lasted one season 12 years ago and their fandom is still thriving to this day. I say that our fandom will not end, it will have a new beginning with the amount of Artwork and Fanfictions that will be written over the years after Friendship is Magic ends and into the beginning of G5.

LucianZ 76 September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 It won't, new generations will come as they made lots of money with G4, the internet war between bronies and the haters will go on. You can still rewatch the show, or the older series, get lots of fanart and music, read the many MLP comics out there, create art yourself etc. Also, what's up with the PonyisCool guy ?

An Unknown Pony. 370 September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 Not really imo,probably after g4 we'll wait for g5.which most g4 fans aka Us would pretty muh look forward to “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown” DeviantArt Account/Youtube account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attack of the Pwns 894 September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 There's no way the fandom will die right when the show ends. I think you can use the I famous "hiatus" to gauge what will happen to the fandom when the show comes to it's end. Yes, things may slow down a bit, but I'd be willing to bet that, with as much as they're making off this series from both the target audience and us bronies, that it won't take long after the last episode of FiM before Hasbro puts a spinoff series out there.

\/ 651 September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 There'll be a G5. We know it's true. I'm sure we'll just wait for that or slowly fade from the fandom. But it'll still be there. Waiting. Enter the Forest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partialgeek514 5,011 September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 I don't really like thinking about the show ending, but when it does, I'm sure there will be loyal fans who keep the fandom going for a while. I don't know how long things like conventions will last though. The fandom will probably shink quite a bit after a few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenSFormerAccount 65 September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 mlp will end, i predict, around season 8. absolutely no doubt the animator will still animate. maybe we can get some fan voice actors. and maybe a fan animator.

chirox the pony 1,336 September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 No it will die over time IF there is nothing to stimulate it and keep people's interest. No matter how hard I try these ponies will simply never leave me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,558 September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 Of course not. The fandom will live on far longer than the show will I am sure. Unless the majority of bronies are like some that I have met where they pretty much were very quick to forget about the show in a short time period, but I don't think that is the case. WE have cemented our place in history it seems and I think the fandom will continue to have an impact on for a long time to come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Qiviut 22,430 September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 Trekkies from the first Star Trek have survived for generations, and Browncoats are heavily dedicated. Even when FIM ends, the brony fandom is strong enough with a very huge legacy that it can survive on its own. Don't forget, we don't know what will come out of G5. If it's as good as or better than FIM, many bronies will migrate there. 2 "Talent is a pursued interest." — Bob Ross Pro-Brony articles: 1/2/3/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashen Pathfinder 16,161 September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 Lemme give you a nice example of an long-lasting fandom. Ever hear of Battlestar Galactica? The original series premiered in 1978 and was cancelled after one season. For a lot of shows that would be a death sentence, but the fandom for that show persisted. It even garnered new fans long after the series died; I was one when I first caught an episode in the early 2000s during a rerun on the SciFi Channel (as it was known then). Wanna know what happened later? The series was reimagined into the now well known and respected show it is now. What does this mean? This mean that fandoms can and will persist long after the thing that created them passes. Bronies will remain; albeit likely in smaller numbers, but we'll still be here. 2 Pathfinder I Sojourner I Corsair | Zu'hra I Autumn | Scarlet Willow | Gypsy | Silverthorn | Crystal Whisper | Radiant Historia | And many other OCs~ Matching signatures with mah Bestie MOONLIGHT <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackened 512 September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 The fandom will only die once it allows itself to die, which hasn't happened yet and probably won't for a long time.

Red Cedar 1,408 September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 Yes, the fandom will totally end when the show does, because absolutely nothing was done with Star Trek ever again after it went off the air in '69. Oh, wait... Well, then, what about that hokey show from the '70's called Battlestar Galactica? That went one season and no one ever heard from it again, ever... What? Uhm, well, you know, there was this terrible, frou-frou, girly cartoon from the 80's called My Little Pony... 1 Roleplaying OC: Red Cedar - Cast Character: Applejack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
