Spin-Offs of G4: Probability and Wishes


Tiina Brown

Recommended Posts

So, i was thinking, this might even be the first MLP Generation to manage an actual spin - off series ... or more.

 

But what do others think of this probability, and what whould the think would be probable ... and what could, or would, others like to see as spinoffs?

 

I'd like a kind of dimension-travelling spin-off where some ponies (not Mane 6) ends up in essentially other worlds that Hasbro "owns", so they might encounter Transformers, Jem, and Zoids ..... or even older generations of MLP!

 

How about you?

You know what kind of spin-off would be awesome? A Daring Doo one. Given the fact that the character fits into the adventurer archetype the possibilities are huge. I really wouldn't rule out the possibility of a spin-off if the current series keeps raking in the money.

I recall something of this happening before. Particularly with Ninja Turtles crossing over into Power Rangers. It sounded cool on paper, but didn't impress anyone. I would not want to see a spin-off of this kind. MLP FiiM is fine the way it is. However, an episode where they go into another dimension in the FiM universe, where they meet themselves but in a vastly different scenario. Like they are all rulers of different nations in Equestria, and they have conflicts with each other. That might be doable...but it's pretty dangerous to do stuff like that. I like the show the way it is.

Yes — [No]

 

It would not work.

 

Just another predicament that can be easily solved with the power of friendship fandom.

My journey in the fandom started on April 5, 2012. I joined here on April 24, 2012. Where that journey is headed now, who knows...

First, the reason why something like TMNT meeting PR would fail, is only a question of one thing:

Quality.

Way to often with such combos, the ones responsible think "The names are enough" and then lets the rest slide.

That's why they fail, not because of the combo itself.

Also, Power Rangers are an officcial and ok'd rip-off of the Japanese Super Sentai: the fight schenes are kept, but the actor scenes are replaced with US actor scenes, often resulting in both a chopped-up storyline, and far worse acting.

 

I think i should have mentioned, that i got the idea of a spin-off being probable from visiting a thread about how a possible "G5" will be, and when it might replace G4.

 

I agree that my suggestion is not very probable, though ....

 

CMC, Daring Doo, Wonder Bolts, or a show focusing on just one of the mane6 or perhaps one of the major side characters.

 

Honestly, they can do what they want as long as they keep up the good quality.

 

These are far more probable spinoffs, i do agree.

I also bolded a very important part ....

A spinoff with the hopefully former Cutie Mark Crusaders would be interesting, that or one starring a character they could do a lot with, like Spike.

I think it's one of the least likely things ever because it's a young girl's show, and no matter how much the fanbase is mostly male teens and such, it's never going to NOT be a little girl's show.

 

Besides, a spin-off series kind of takes away from the morals the show tries to teach.

 

I would rather see a full feature length movie! :D Seems more likely, anyway.

That is an ingenious idea.

It's ironic how I fall just to get back up again...
