I'LL NEVER STOP BEING UPSET ABOUT HASBRO ABRUPTLY ENDING GEN 5!

I agree with that. Why would they end TYT abruptly?

I hope the movie won't be soulless. That's all I'm asking for.

 

My main hope is that whatever this ends up being keeps the same voice cast if this movie is a pilot for a new series like

Generation 5's A New Generation was. 

Also, I hope Lyra Heartstrings makes a cameo or is the main character.😜

Oh my~!  The news!

Well we don't know anything beyond an announcement, and one article is not enough to confirm anything just yet. But it sure is interesting. Amazon is making a new live action Masters Of The Universe movie, and now MLP. What's next; The Legend of Zelda? Voltron? Thundercats? 

Still, the speculation is interesting...

• If Amazon is going full retro-revival, then G1 lends itself to live action the best. You can have CGI ponies and actual humans for star power.
• If they were smart, they'd know how popular G4 was make something based on that.
• If this news article is implying something (or if the film makers get their wires crossed), they might make a movie based on G5. Either because they are confusing G4's popularity with G5, or because the makers of G5 are working with Amazon directly somehow. I doubt it, but anything is possible.
• Or, against all odds, they could decide to do the daring thing and go completely original. New generation, new adventures, no narrative connection to any previous generations; and any ponies with any similar names and/or designs would be complete coincidence.

If they do the last one, and it becomes popular, Hasbro might try to make it the basis for their next MLP TV show or something. I personally doubt it; seems like a lot to invest in for a TV show, and animation might be easier.

Either way, we'll have to wait and see.
