dragoonanime 39 October 21, 2019 #1 Share October 21, 2019 I can't help wondering why Hasbro decided to end the show now when it has been really huge for them. I also wonder if the Twilight takes over for Celestia and Luna plot would of been saved for another season if season 9 had not been the end.

Xe__or 4,377 October 21, 2019 #6 Share October 21, 2019 It went on for almost 10 years now - and its golden age is far behind us. You can't keep dragging a series forever you know - you have to know when to stop, in order to make place for new creations. 1 hello my name is Xe__or and this is disney channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrond 3,263 October 21, 2019 #8 Share October 21, 2019 Hasbro has had a lot of success with rebooting their toy brands after a while, and fourth-generation My Little Pony has been going on for nearly a decade. The kids have grown up and it's time for something new. Anyway the IDW comics are probably going to keep going for a while, so if you need more of these characters, that's where you'll want to look. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the 4 to 8 year olds who started watching this show when it was brand-new are all now teenagers, and anyone who was at least 9 years old at that time are all now adults.

Prince Doopliss 2,351 October 22, 2019 #10 Share October 22, 2019 It was just a matter of time, Hasbro couldn't keep the g4 toy line alive forever. So the show wasn't going to last forever. Signature by @Sparklefan1234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavelColt 22,883 October 22, 2019 #12 Share October 22, 2019 All of the main characters have gone through complete character arcs, there wasn't much material left to come up with. This is why G4 is ending and G5 is coming out next year - Hasbro wants to continue the hype train while also getting a chance to reset thier story resources.

Jeric 46,867 October 22, 2019 #14 Share October 22, 2019 I mean, this is Hasbro. They aren’t known for being good caretakers of their IP, and do some head scratching things with toy distribution and sales. It is honestly a miracle they’ve stayed afloat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadeda 178 October 22, 2019 #16 Share October 22, 2019 It was still pretty successful so I doubt that completely. I didn't even start watching the show till season 7. I think it's because they are excited for G5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffinnz 3,223 October 28, 2019 #18 Share October 28, 2019 The characters have reached their conclusions. Each character had a goal and successfully obtained their personal goals.

También me pregunto si Twilight se hace cargo de la trama de Celestia y Luna se habría salvado para otra temporada si la temporada 9 no hubiera sido el final. Expand I think Hasbro has had creative problems after season 7, including a school where our protagonists go from being adventurous and great, to teachers who scold their students. In season 9, it was to close the subplots so the ninth season was necessary, but I think it would have been better to skip the Friendship School. I really hope that the G5 is a little more mature, that is, it is aimed at children from 8 to 13 years old, instead of young children from 3 to 8.

Denim&Venöm 19,642 November 3, 2019 #23 Share November 3, 2019 Toys weren't selling as well. Target demographic grew up. Bronies already had a Lot of the merch, most of which wasn't very good. And Hasbro aren't an entertainment company, but a toy one. And they need to make that 💵 any way they can, especially with toy sales down across the board. New generation. New revenue.

hdylta 42 November 3, 2019 #25 Share November 3, 2019 Honestly, as much as I love MLP:FiM I'm glad they ended it when they did, better end it in a good note than have it go on forever and ever and loose it's charm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
