Single chapter or multi-season?

[thegreenpony 82]

i think this will be a single chapter instead of a season of multiple episodes 

what do you think?

I think this is a 50/50. We have to take into account that Netflix can make decisions that affect how MyM will be made for the future. Everything G5 (in the 3D) so far has been very short lived.

a couple of people on the forum assume its gooing t be muilt but i think its single so i was curious because they did that with chapter 1

I do hope for a multi-season. G1 was multi and so was G2. G3 was multi but didn't last long at all. Forget G3.5. We all know about G4, but G5 right feels like a single chapter. Let's hope it develops, as TYT is more of a slice-of-life/spinoff...

Maybe there will be different incarnations of gen.5 3D renders, the first officially presented in the 22 minute format we know so we'll, "Make Your Mark" but I think they may alter the titles and release Gen. 5 in a chapter like format, like the first part is called "Make Your Mark" but the second season may have a completely different name referring to the circumstances of the story, "Make Your Mark" BEING THE FIRST of the chapters "makes it sense" seeing as they are making their mark not only on Equestria as the new ponies with new found magic, but on us as the viewer... 

Should have quoted courageous but I'm this far along, it's just the events of Starscout Code... We visibly see Sunny use Earth Pony magic, and she refers to it as "they're other Earth pony magic" just hope they touch more on Sunny naturally having EP magic to, and ALSO the importance of "destiny", the events of Starscout Code definitely make a "Sonic Rainboom" like insinuation that the Mane 5 we're destined to become friends, will they use the itemization of an ancient rug to convey a similar message about the elements of harmony... Argyle specifies it was made ten generations ago.. was this around the fall out of old Equestria lol, wonder if a pony we know made it? I'm just wondering if they are going to use 3D Twilight to make these specification about the Mane 5s destiny in MyM, that would be my guess, that there will be very similar themes to TYT without completely combining their Canon/continuity...

Note: I think they will release all seasons with the same 22 minute format, I was only saying like that because technically the first 3D incarnations of Gen 5 ponies were in a movie that was almost 2 hrs....

G2 was a failure so it didn't have any series, only toys and a weird pony videogame. On the other hand, it's already confirmed that the episodes will last 22 minutes each. Source: https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/02/recapping-all-of-g5-my-little-pony-news.html

If G2 was a failure, because it tried something new/different, when the original was the popular one, I could see a similar thing with G5, failing because it is trying something new/different.

Well, as it already has one episode, and more soon to release, it is my home that this means they'll produce multiple chapters and see the story through to completion. It's nice to consume these things in well timed installments, so I of course I don't want anything dragged out.

[HereComesTom 2,267]

I'm hoping there'll be both multi-season story arcs and distinct chapters in G-5.  I mean, having distinct chapters means stories come to satisfying conclusions, but multi-season story arcs mean there's more coming and questions that're still worth answering/exploring.

[thegreenpony 82]

Instead of one 45 minutes long episode, Chapter 2 has 8 episodes. The duration for each one is 23 minutes. Some episodes have already released on been released on Netflix.

[thegreenpony 82]

@Splasheeit’s multi ep 23 each

[flutterJackdash 218]

I'm really enjoying this series, it's a lot of fun. I still think they should have had

Twilight's visual closer to a G4 look, even if three dimensional, as it better suits her.

I have to agree.  It's the eyebrows that I personally found to be the most offputting, but I'm guessing different people will have different opinions on what precisely the problem was---or what the worst aspect was.

I completely forgot that the chapter 2 of episodes were uploaded today. I'm still focusing on watching The Legend of Korra during my break hour.

 

Once I get around to watching those individual episodes I will have something to say about each of them. Although I have to admit I haven't watched any of that tell your tale episodes; are they required?
