Impatient on G5 updates

[Vivooush 25]

Hey

I'm the only one who is impatient about the fact that we have no news or even speculation about generation 5, the movie came out in September, they should have released the cartoon in November or December, do you have any news about when the series will be released? 

It seems like a long time and I really want to know what's next.

We do have news of when the series will be released, it's next year.

We're all hankering for new G5 content, we just don't like to sound like we're demanding it because patience is a virtue.

Yeah, the wait can feel like an eternity. But it will all be worth it when we get there!

It might sound like a long time, but trust me, just like we waited for the movie, we can wait for the series. Patience is the key after all

i feel the same

Sort of? I want them to take their time, because rushing gets us nowhere, but I am definitely eager to get more content.

They basically waited to give any information out until the Movie came out, and they will probably do the same thing for the TV-series. I have no idea why that is effective for them in terms of advertising, but it seems to be how they do things. Maybe they are afraid the fandom will manipulate their characters if they give out too much before the actual Copyrighted material can be shown to the public.

 

With too many pony fans, there is a probability that one will come up with an equal story/character/idea to the yet unreleased TV-series but they will have the first release date I don't think Hasbro would like losing money that way We fans are very creative and resourceful!

I usually do not get hyped up and inpatient about TV shows or whatever.  I remember when I was waiting for Nanoha movies to be realeased. It pretty much amounted to "Hmm, is it out yet? Looks like no, OK" some time passes "Hmm... is it out yet? Oh yeah, looks like it was released 3 months ago, awesome!"

I'd much rather them not rush. A 44-minute "mini-movie" special will be out in May and it'll be the equivalent of about two episodes so it'll be a bit more content to tie us over before the full series is out in September. That's fine by me. FIM has been over for two years so I'm fine with long waits for new content.

I'm not really impatient for the G5 show to be released, although I am eager to see what's next for G5.

[Steve Piranha 29,424]

I’m not impatient for G5. As fun as it was, it has yet to hook me up as FIM did

[Splashee 28,564]

I have low hopes after Pony Life. I had high hopes before Pony Life. So I am kinda waiting until people start liking the show before I like it myself.

It may seem like it's taking forever, but it'll be worth the wait in the end!

With the pandemic a lot of things have slowed down to a crawl. This even includes cartoons as those take quite a bit of time to make. My advice is to just be patient and wait for something to be revealed. There's no need to want it right now and having it be a terrible show with no redeeming qualities.

We are also getting a G5 YouTube series in spring, but who knows what kind of content that will be.

[HereComesTom 2,267]

Well, shoot---I think the reason we're not seeing so much speculation is because the movie tied up a lot of loose ends in terms of the characters' motivations and needs: 

• Hitch got his job back and successfully brought Sunny home
• Sunny wanted to unite the three tribes again, and she did---and became an alicorn in the process, which she didn't even aim for in the first place (which is likely part of the reason she became an alicorn)
• Zipp, Pipp, and Queen Haven were once again respected by the Pegasus community and got their previous lives back---we assume
• Izzy made a friend and got magic back

So...it's hard to think what to speculate about, other than what tie-ins with G-4 we'll see in the series, and...to be honest, G-5 can't survive solely off of tying into G-4; it needs to be able to build its own lore, and we have no idea what kind of lore it'll build going forward.

I read all your messages and I understand, I'll have to wait 😭, I really can't wait for the series to come out, but I think they shouldn't have released the movie so soon, but we'll have to wait
