I used to be a stranger 7,994 November 19, 2016 Share November 19, 2016 I think a better question is "will there be another Fandom?" To which the corporate marketers in the world all chant in unison "I damn hope so!" My Little Pony is unusual in where it came from, but thanks to Stapp's Law pretty much every fandom isn't all that different from one another, with humble origins of word of mouth, and usually unfortunately conspiring towards risque stories and gross fan art. But I say that fandoms are inevitable because OLD franchises, like Star Wars and Sailor Moon have proven to big media companies that fostering and pandering a fandom is extremely profitable, and therefore should be something they hope to build with every new intellectual property. It would not surprise me in the slightest if there were people working for Hasbro when Transformers became huge, and felt that the whole Brony phenomenon felt like lightning struck twice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyyoshi309 1,829 November 19, 2016 Share November 19, 2016 My Little Pony is like Ghostbusters, it really should not have worked, but it ended up being the best thing possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilgoreth 1,915 November 19, 2016 Author Share November 19, 2016 A small probability of it occurring over infinite amount of time equals an infinite chance of it repeating. How long have cartoons been going on for before it happened? Not even a hundred years I guess. And more cartoons are happening each year than the previous nearly meaning it'll happen at an accelerated rate. It could be 20 years from now but it should still happen.Alright I see what you mean.Another way to look at it is through Twilight. When she became an alicorn at the end of season three, she flew perfectly as though she were a natural, yet in both Equestria Girls and the season four premiere, she is shown to be struggling to get her hooves off the ground through inadequate flying.Yeah that actually makes sense.

Vlazamal 338 November 20, 2016 Share November 20, 2016 The show ends (soon, unfortunately) and the fandom dies. To be honest, the show has to end before the quality has a mass dropoff. It's only a show, and everything else is fan oriented. This will not last as long as say, Pokemon, or Star Trek according to my sad perdiction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guac 25 November 21, 2016 Share November 21, 2016 nope, it's dead and will stay dead. other fandoms will stay in the limelight of hate, and then bugger off. examples: pewdiepie, undertale, fnaf, leafy, and steven universe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the fandom can only last long as there's new content. MLP will end in 2018. nope, it's dead and will stay dead. other fandoms will stay in the limelight of hate, and then bugger off. examples: pewdiepie, undertale, fnaf, leafy, and steven universe Okay Alright.

Tilgoreth 1,915 November 23, 2016 Author Share November 23, 2016 Probably not just because I'm pretty sure MLP was the first of it's kind, and being the first it cannot be replicated. I feel like, or at least hope, stereotypes like "guys can't like mlp" will be almost non existent in the future.Yeah I feel the same way. It shouldn't if a guy likes MLP or not.

Hypn0ticD 1,213 November 26, 2016 Share November 26, 2016 I highly doubt there will be another "Brony Phenomenon", as others have pointed out that Hasbro really struck gold with the reboot of the franchise, but as they say, lightning doesn't strike twice. Here's to hoping G4 continues to have a strong run, though, and that G5 can give G4 a run for its money! 1 Hypn0's Art Dump! Check it out sometime!

idunnomaybe 344 November 26, 2016 Share November 26, 2016 (edited) i highly doubt the fandom will die off with the show a big difference between say bronies and trekkies is that bronies are constantly making their own content as long as that keeps happening the fandom wont die off it may have a steep decline but i don't think it will just die off if people go around saying big "well it was a great ride thanks for all the years of XXXX" speeches in 2018 then yes it will probably die but it wont die if you as a collective don't want it to die Edited November 26, 2016 by idunnomaybe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afghanistan 22 November 28, 2016 Share November 28, 2016 I already watched the first Season! Not enough you must also look at the fanart, read the fanfics, watch all the fanvideos even the cringy ones, etc. Good luck on your journey lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilgoreth 1,915 November 28, 2016 Author Share November 28, 2016 Well the show may die, the forums and fandom will be around for a few years after that. It will be a while until we see G5 or some other continuation. No the fandom relies on new content. The show ends the fandom ends. I already watched the first Season!
