movies/tv What will MLP be like in 5 years?

[Ezynell 2,037]

Well I'm going to do an in depth prediction here...

 

 

I say that Season 2 will have its risks but will still be a good season that some will say even surpasses the first season.

 

Season 3 will try a little too hard to capitalize on the Brony fan base. They'll even go as far to give Derpy Whooves a small speaking role as Ditzie Doo. Though this season will tank as "not quite as good as the last season". There will also be a feature length Christmas Special that most fans will condemn as a lame Christmas tie in.

 

The 4th Season will be a "Hit and Miss" season where most of the episodes will be like Season 3 (kind of boring), a few will be good and being more reminiscent of Season 1. A couple episodes will go off in their own tangent by taking strange risks.

 

My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: The Movie is aired on the HUB. The Movie seems to be in the same spirit as the first 2 seasons, but has its flaws like season 3. The movie brings back the Brony spirit that was lost after Season 4.

 

Season 5 turns out to be the worst season. They try to capitalize on the male audience by adding a Mane 7th pony that is male who (to capitalize on the ageing female fanbase) they have this character work as a romance arc for Twilight Sparkle. This episode tries entirely too hard trying too many big things. Most episodes are 2 parters to try and capture these big concepts. Most fans who truly care for the shows health agree that the series should've closed up shop with the movie even though the movie wasn't perfect.

 

There's a second feature length film that basically works as a closing for the series. Most fans will say that the movie wasn't perfect, but it proves a definitive end for the series.

 

Unfortunately the series is still later milked out in straight to dvd movies that feel completely uninspired cries for attention. Most remaining Bronies (the fad died out with still a few more dedicated forums still going) pretty much ignore these. There's even a few creepy looking 3D animated movies that Bronies openly despise!

 

Eventually MLP decides to revive it's self through a new series on the HUB. However the series is entirely 3D animated and it mostly reverts back to it's old ways before FiM, though it still at times tries to bring Bronies back.

 

There's a famous Japanese Anime versions of the Ponies of FiM. Bronies say that this series is a step up from the garbage of today, but feels more like "Hit and Miss" like MLPFiM Season 4, but mostly miss. This series mostly attracts the female audience of Japan.

 

I swear I'll probably shit myself if this is close to correct! (Probably way off with the Japanese version. I just wanna see what Japanese animators would do with the ponies)

 

This. Is. So. Deep.

Keep in mind that MLP has been around for twenty years, while the brony thing has only existed for just over a single year. I don't see Hasbro deviating so completely from what has worked so well for them for so long, it just wouldn't make any business sense.

I forgot MLP had been around prior to FiM >.>

Either way I completely agree, there is no reason to change anything when it's working out perfectly.

Well, it is kind of hard to remember the old stuff when you've got this amazing new series to pay attention to.

(Short Version)

 

Like I said I give Friendship is Magic 5 seasons which isn't bad at all!

 

Though I see the cartoon being milk for eternity with shitty straight to dvd movies and perhaps a try at 3D animations!

 

The majority of Brony fandom will last another year and then most people will just move on to the next big thing!

 

The next gen MLP will be terrible Dreamworks style 3D animations that don't receive the same Brony spirit no matter how hard Hasbro tries!

The first TV special was in 1984, then the TV show started in 1986. The original toys that were called My Pretty Pony first came out in 1981 (then in 1982 they changed to My Little Pony.) That is 30 years now! I don't think they are going away any time soon.

[Guesty_ 45]

The episodes will be repeated all of the time after a few seasons. Much like everything else.

I've mentioned this in 2 other threads but it seems to fit here too.

I really hope that MLP does not become accepted by everyone because I do not want a flood of people joining who are not genuinely interested in the show...

They should maintain how they're making the show now as it's definitely working.

Well, 454 out of 6 million are on this thread... hmmmmm

[thunderflare 4]

Would there be an mlp in five years? Well I hope so.

Season 9 maybe?....hopefully

[tripfly 264]

I personally hope FIM will end at say, season 5 or 6, I love the show, but it needs to end before things get bad

I can see FiM going on for 8, maybe 10 seasons. If it does go out of development after that, perhaps the next gens/spinoffs will come through. Who else wants to see Daring Do in her own series?
