ManaMinori 4,145 May 20, 2017 Share May 20, 2017 (edited) and we know it will, eventually- do you guys think the success of mlp's brand- like g4, the longest running gen in the MLP franchise's history- would be to have somone who grew up playing with ponies and having an active imagination, like Lauren Faust did, spearheading the new generation, to put that passion and love behind it? (it would be a dream come true if one of Bonnie Zacherle's (the franchise mother) children or grandchildren came to work on the next generation, as a tribute to BZ herself.)

Megas 27,765 May 20, 2017 Share May 20, 2017 I dunno. After the success of G4, the least I can say is that Hasbro is gonna want to get another person who cares to reboot the franchise again once the inevitable G5 comes along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,860 May 20, 2017 Share May 20, 2017 I want someone who is has writing and boarding/animation experience on a critically acclaimed show to head up any series I'm interested in. Someone with a vision specific in animation. I guarantee that Hasbro will try and grab someone with some background similar to what we see from animation showrunners today. But, they really need to let the franchise rest for a few years first. They also need to debut it on a better network. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She doesn't appear to have a ton of experience, but on Adventure Time she could write, storyboard, and even do voice work. Not to mention she created and actively works on Steven Universe, which I personally think gives off more of the vibe Hasbro would look for. 2 Signature by Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Piranha 29,432 May 20, 2017 Share May 20, 2017 This generation revived MLP worldwide and made it more successful than ever, so we won't be seeing a new generation in a while. It'll come, but this generation has to die out first, and the next generation won't come until some years later also. I think it's more likely to see a G4.5 one day, but I think the standard G4 has still some life in it Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a rather huge fan of SU, I would love to see her take. Part of me wonders if she would end up as dissatisfied as Faust with the Hasbro approval process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlikeable Pony 2,698 May 20, 2017 Share May 20, 2017 I would personally hope for a reboot ala transformers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeryFox 23,822 May 20, 2017 Share May 20, 2017 It will happen... I don't wanna see any of the OGs involvement. Tbh, it really doesn't matter to me who else'll be working on it. Sōten ni zase...Hyōrinmaru! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off, it seems that she's unmarried and has no children. Secondly, even if she had children or grandchildren, giving them creative control over a whole new iteration just because of who they were related to would probably be best described as nepotism. I mean you didn't even seem interested in if these hypothetical people were in a similar field of work or what their credentials and track record was, you just wanted a tribute to Bonnie.

Steven Universe actually has a similar magical slice of life tone that Friendship is Magic has, so I could see Rebecca Sugar being a great choice for the next incarnation of MLP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
