The end is neigh Winter comes with all kinds of promises, you know. Sex, violence, old magic, the good stuff. Pony does not have the good stuff. No winter for pony.

In S09 trailer they're using the font and the altered phrase. It reeks of desperation and same action adventure baiting they've used in previous season but this time it's turned up to eleven. And the best part is: Song is right there alongside hardcore porn and Holocaust jokes. I'm not bothered by that. In fact, I'm the target audience But then some bald bearded soyster comes along and informs me that MLP lore and worldbuilding cannot be criticized cause little girls and that friendship must always win. You're using this bloody fantasy of your own free will. No one forced you to do it, and you're doing it wrong for all the wrong reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue is that they did this GoT business before in a season 6 trailer with much higher production values (it actually looked quite good). This one looks like more of a tossed in afterthought. I don’t mind gimmicks but they could have put a little more effort into it. The switch from epic narration to the typical DF woman is also jarring.

So the jarring switch was meant to be like that. Just a little humor to the trailer.

RiseofSpectrum 359 March 1, 2019 Share March 1, 2019 Well, about time. Speaking honestly, the show began to drop massively in quality starting from Season 3 (mostly because this season was rushed). From there on, there was still a good basis to keep the show good and fresh, but as time went on and the Universe got larger and larger, the show simply became too overloaded with characters. On one hand, it's understandable, as the main character kept getting explored and fleshed out, there was only so much you could do with them. But by expanding the number of characters, you run the risk of exploring characters the audience just doesn't care about. For example, with the exception of the princesses episode and the big season finale, I never bothered to watch any episode in which the focus was Starlight Glimmer. Neutral on all threads.

No offense I'm just a bit pissed that they're still baiting with fantasy that's so far removed from what they have. Is this signaling to adults or children? Welp, that doesn't even matter. You know what's better than cheap signals? Better lore! Better action adventure! Less fake friendship with forced resolutions! Works on both targets.

BritishBrony2012 794 March 2, 2019 Share March 2, 2019 (edited) Wonder how will it end and now it confirm it season 9. Admit hardly keep up last few season but did catch up and seen all episodes. Didn't enjoy last season much, there was season I enjoy most, season 4 and 5. Things did changed, some brony cons never around and not much fan made things going around (maybe I didn't keep up). Wasn't much hyper with MLP and ponies as when I become brony but still love ponies, watch episodes, collect some pony pictures and have some ponies in my head and of course come to MLP forum and look at Equestria Daily every 6 days. Well hope season 9 is best. Edited March 2, 2019 by Adam Burt Proud British Brony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Piranha 29,417 March 2, 2019 Share March 2, 2019 You know? Many of you may remember, but every time a new milestone in the FIM universe is about to occur, I upload videos of the 72 hours in Majora’s Mask, ending with this the midnight before with this as a joke I do it before a premiere, finale, an EG movie or special, and I did it once in the pony movie..... I won’t post that for the series finale. I don’t think it fits my mood for joking. I’ll post something more dignified, more goodbye worthy Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaburoDaimando 1,196 March 3, 2019 Share March 3, 2019 You know, considering that we may not see the new series till 2021 or later, I wonder if they will make specials to tide us over till the new series is ready.

Cruising 9 March 3, 2019 Share March 3, 2019 I can't believe they would end on 9 instead of 10. Think about it, the show initially aired 10/10/2010. All those fucking tens. My OCD is not liking this decision one bit! Here's hoping G5 gives us a beautiful new interpretation of Equestria complete with a (good) new art style, a entirely new Mane cast, and a continuation to the incredible wit and charm present in G4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n1029 227 March 4, 2019 Share March 4, 2019 (edited) 9 seasons actually makes sense to me as sort of a 3 act structure. Act 1 was Twilight's rise to an Alicorn, Act 2 was the redemption of Discord and Starlight Glimmer. Edited March 5, 2019 by n1029 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be on Cartoon Network. Thank you again for the recommendation! I watched the one hour DC Superhero Girls special tonight and saw a ton of similarities to MLP in the show including Tara Strong,voice of Twilight of course, voicing one of the main characters! I recommend other bronies check it out at least once. 1 My short independent films about physical disability! http://cripvideoproductions.tumblr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Petal 215 March 9, 2019 Share March 9, 2019 I have been saying season 9 was the final season since season 4, actually. It's been confirmed by hasbro from a long time ago that this is exactly what they intended from at least season 3 or so. Join me on my YouTube Channel.

However, other studios making small scale G4 horses doesn’t sound far fetched either, as between the series finale, and the G5 movie, is a large gap, and I don’t think Hasbro wants a year without some horse presence 2 Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
