What is the one thing that would ruin G5 and/or G4

[phantompone1148 126]

A lot of franchises have been totally ruined. But not my little pony… Yet…

so, in your opinion what is one thing in G5 and/or G4 that would make you say “that’s it, I’m done! I quit!” (Like a rage quit)

Repeating the same mistakes G4 made at the tail end of its run, namely completely disregarding the characters, world, and established canon for whatever new dumbass idea they came up with that week 

[Misty Shadow 7,902]

Making the mistakes G4 made on a much grander scale. To be more specific, to me, that would be an excess of slice-of-life episodes, "filler" episodes that contributed nothing consequential to the world-building, and rushed resolutions to key conflicts.

It would have to something really bad to ruin G5 for me.

If they confirmed that EqG was canon. If they did that, I’m gone.

Just letting the mane ponies relearn the same lessons over and over and have no growth or world building at all.

There were mistakes made in G4 that ended up becoming pretty infamous and lowered the overall quality of the show. Should these be repeated in G5... Just the mere thought of having to think about it makes me shudder and fear the worst.

Making the show with a "kids are dumb and will watch whatever" mindset.

Not that I like EqG or anything, but I’m pretty sure they confirmed it was canon a long time ago.

I just ignore it.

I got two:

1-filler episodes which plagued the final seasons

2-making FIM woke

If you’re talking about the sirens, I just call that a reference and a wink to its fans rather than a confirmation. If anypony said anything along the lines of ‘Does that sound familiar?’ then I’d call that confirmation.

The show explaining the origins of the Sirens sounds like a pretty hard confirmation to me. Not to mention McCarthy and Haber themselves have more or less confirmed it

If I ever thought it was confirmation, I would have immediately left the fandom. I still think it’s not confirmation unless a character in any way mentions it. A show can reference a spin-off even if it isn’t calling it canon.

Changing something big in G5 to that destroys watching G4 completely, like saying the Mane 6/CMC's friendship jobs were all for nothing.

That is probably the only thing since I have accepted the things that destroyed G4 (Twilight's wings, shortening Season 3 for Equestria Girls, and Equestria Girls design)

Pretty much this. I can ignore a lot of mistakes, but don't make our ponies go woke.

[JMTV99 1,354]

Is by making the same mistakes that G4 has done.
