Misty Shadow 7,955 February 20, 2019 Share February 20, 2019 (edited) 5 hours ago, This Whomps said: No Just let them end the series. It's not like it's being taken out back Old Yeller style Like a petition would even change anything. It's one generation out of a franchise, and despite having the longest-running, most successful show at that, it needs to end eventually so that the franchise can move forward. The legacy this generation of the franchise has had is going to live forever anyways, so as long as it gets a proper conclusion and sets up G5 well, we shall move forward too. Edited February 20, 2019 by CloudMistDragon Mistakenly referred to G4 as the longest-running generation initially. 5 Comet's still best boi. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make it a perfect 10 seasons would be nice, though we already got the official word from Hasbro themselves that they won't do that. Either way, I'm cautiously optimistic about what G5 will bring to the table. 3 My Profile LinkedIn Profile Main YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s follow up, MLP Tales (Which has many FIM voices BTW), certainly didn’t last as long I’m sure 3 Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest February 20, 2019 Share February 20, 2019 12 hours ago, VG_Addict said: What if we made a petition to keep G4 running? Seldom does such a thing work. Remember Hasbro has already spent money on G5 planning, concept art, and have already invested. There's a lot of investment already. 10,000 people who likely were not going to pay MONEY for products are not going to change their mind and make them ditch plans they already spent cash on. Petitions seldom work, they just make fandoms look desperate. Hasbro has tons of market reason, millions dumped into such a thing, I think they know what will sell more than we do.

I doubt a petition would help, because the only vote Hasbro care about is with your wallet. If G5 is good enough, then it may get better sales than G4 (which has probably reached market saturation now; the increase in stock around the movie launch in supermarkets seems to have vanished again, and I see a better range of merch in discount stores than in mainline ones; toys 'r' us going under probably hurt too, as they had a larger range than almost anyone. 3 ᚾᛖᚹ ᛚᚢᚾᚨ ᚱᛖᛈᚢᛒᛚᛁᚴ - ᚦᛖ ᚠᚢᚾ ᚺᚨᚦ ᛒᛖᛖᚾ ᛞᛟᚢᛒᛚᛖᛞ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin_Case001 4,905 February 20, 2019 Share February 20, 2019 (edited) Well, I just have one thing to say: Spoiler I'm sure I am in the minority here, but I am quite happy about this, not because I dislike the show, but the exact opposite, in fact. I love it, and everything good has to come to an end, and the fact is that no matter how good a franchise is, it has a lifespan. From my experience, nine seasons is about the expected lifespan of any great show. It is extremely rare for anything to go longer than that and continue being good. I've long wanted Pony to end gracefully, when the time is right, such that I can buy and own the whole series, and treasure it always in its full and complete glory. I don't want what happened to The Simpsons to happen to my beloved Pony. I don't want to watch as my precious ponies plummet into the abyss until one day, when I tell someone that I'm a FIM fan, I have to insert the caveat: "Oh, not modern Pony. Classic Pony. Big difference." I've always wanted a satisfying ending before it all goes downhill, and like it or lump it, everything goes downhill if it goes on long enough. Every show, movie series, and game series has two choices: end with dignity and integrity while it's still good and leave the audience wanting more, or continue long after its quality has expired, possibly changing hands until some greedy corporation *cough cough Disney cough* gets their grubby mitts on it, then descend into the depth of crap until the brand is worthless. Personally, I'd much rather have the bittersweet former ending than the latter, which is just bitter. I'm very much looking forward to this final season. I have many wishlist items, most of which will never happen. The only one I will be really disappointed if they leave out is for the Mane 7 and the Sisters to learn of the Tree's true nature and talk with it. That needs to happen.

Chat on here. Listen to the music. Remember, we're not locking the door and throwing away the key. It's not a rollercoaster: you don't have to disembark when the ride ends. Pony can still be a part of your life. I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm not going anywhere. I'm still going to haunt the forums regularly. Where else could I go to make my blog posts? I'd be lost without this place. I'm not going to just f*ck off and never speak of Pony again just because there's no new episodes. Don't you still enjoy franchises that already saw their end? The fandom isn't going anywhere. And if G5 is good, maybe we'll all pile on that train. Don't despair.

chirox the pony 1,336 February 20, 2019 Share February 20, 2019 15 hours ago, Bas said: Because not all are part of MLPF. Most ppl prob won't bother to register at a random internet forums each time a series goes offline they like or love. Also, you might simply miss those ppl because they are posting elsewhere. Not to mention, we got quite a warning in the leaks already, so it doesn't come much as a surprise. I'm not talking about this forum specifically (if even 10% of the people who were into MLP at it's peak in the early 2010s were to join this forum the servers would crash instantly) but I'm talking about other, more mainstream platforms such as facebook, twitter, and especially youtube. From those sites I am not seeing much attention being given to this. I was hoping for something similar to when the game club penguin was closed down. The whole internet got together and said goodbye to the game and I feel like MLP should be getting similar treatment. Again it's still very early days and we could see people start to mourn it later on in the year (I hope we do). No matter how hard I try these ponies will simply never leave me.

Funny thing I have been explaining basically what you said to someone else in despair over the show ending. What I meant by that was, this show and collectively its fandom actually gave me a shred of purpose in life. Making the signatures mainly but also just being part of a real community. One I actually feel like I matter in the slightest. I am simply worried about the future, but that's not anything new for me. The thought of the show that game me an ounce of purpose ending has me a bit scared. Since I made that post I am trying to stay as positive about it all as I can be, so there is that, but I still have those worries in the back of my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you can rest assured the fandom won't evaporate very quickly if it DOES happen (which I'm doubting because we're still getting a Gen 5) because there will be some more content after the show ends leading up to the movie.
