spoiler Generation 5 Spike(potential spoilers)

[Dragulia 17]

From what I've seen, it looks like with Generation 5 no one from Gen 4(save Meghan, who is simply approving the show as she is doing with Gen 4) are not involved with the show. So to put it bluntly to everyone at DHX..

 

And I for one welcome this change. A change of showrunners, a fresh start, a new animation studio(Toon Boom Harmony) and a higher goal(aiming for the 7-12 audience of all genders)

Ive heard rumors, and I personally hope Gen 5 Spike has things

-No crush on Rarity.

-Is not an assistant but a thief

and has the personality of say...this kid

 

Someponies will say, "but that's not Gen 4 Spike" 

yeah, of course not. That was the old show, and this is a new show, some of the best reboots, take good risks, like Transformers Animated...Optimus was not the leader in that show. TMNT shoes have changed the personalities of their turtles and tones many times. April o Noel was useless in the original show and was a sexist character(sorry, it's true, she was just there to be eye candy) in the 2003 show she was a scientist and very useful and even her as a fifteen year old girl in the 2012 show was very important and very useful and even had her own arc.

 

So making Spike a tad more complex and not an assistant would help the show, and from what I've seen from the leaked art..he may have a archenemy of his own.

 

I welcome change.
