Sir.Flutter Hooves 2,953 March 27, 2013 Share March 27, 2013 I have some great news! According to the vice president of Hasbro MLP is a top priority and he believes it will continue for a long time! But, do you believe the show will still keep it's magic if it lasts a long time? I believe they'll still keep the magic of the show.

Sugar Cube 4,843 March 27, 2013 Share March 27, 2013 (edited) Well, it can easily jump the shark like SpongeBob has done. SpongeBob remains Nick's top cartoon show and still a good money maker, but not like it used to be, and the quality of the show is right down the gutter. I don't think we need to worry about MLP's quality right now. We've had three seasons of pure bliss, and with a fourth one on the way, I think it's a safe assumption that it will still be amazing because we have the same awesome writing team. Is it possible there will come a day when Friendship loses its magic? It is very possible, but let's not worry about it and just enjoy the good stuff while we've got it. I'm happy to hear FiM is a top priority, because it means more focus on merchandising. The show has come such a long way already. Who would have foreseen the show getting its own comic book series and its own trading cards? Now we've got a sister series coming out, a TV movie, loads of new products, and even a Monopoly game. The future is incredibly bright right now. Let's stay positive and optimistic. Edited March 27, 2013 by Sugar Cube 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfheartmoon 107 March 27, 2013 Share March 27, 2013 (edited) I thought you meant Joe Biden and I was like I was so incredibly confused. XD Like, I know My Little Pony is popular, but to have the VICE PRESIDENT OF THE USA say it's a priority? DANG! I'm glad I read further.

Back to the topic at hand, the longer a series runs, the better the chance that it'll eventually derail itself. That could easily happen here, but 3 seasons of superior work is nothing to shake a hoof at, and in any case, it's best to just enjoy the ride. 5 Detroit Tigers- Back to Back AL Central Champs When in doubt, post ponies!

Fhaolan 4,483 March 27, 2013 Share March 27, 2013 Depends on to which he was referring. MLP the brand, or MLP the show? The brand has already been around for just over thirty years? That's odd. Was there any 30 year anniversary stuff last year? The original toy line started in 1982. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only Hasbro could've just let Mane6 continue with Fighting is Magic though. *sigh* Stupid trade marks and business politics. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,467 March 27, 2013 Share March 27, 2013 I thought it was Joe Biden as well. I was worried that he had declared war on Bronies for a second. Either way, MLP will go nowhere, it is one of the biggest money makers for Hasbro. Will it keep it's magic after a long time? Who knows, but I can safely say that is has a much better chance of keeping it's magic than most cartoons out there in my opinion, so I would not worry. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycarhasaMoustache 449 March 27, 2013 Share March 27, 2013 I think mlp could bomb eventually but I dont think it will be any time soon so I think we should just cross that bridge when we come to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only Hasbro could've just let Mane6 continue with Fighting is Magic though. *sigh* Stupid trade marks and business politics. That's what we've heard anyway. The TV movie MIGHT be for the upcoming Equestria Girls series. We haven't gotten any information on it either way. I was looking forward to Fighting is Magic too. I know it's a shame, but at least Mane Six can still make a game with Lauren Faust's help. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omnusus 52 March 27, 2013 Share March 27, 2013 Like most of these people, I thought you were talking about Biden, and I was having a mental short circuit for a minute imagining my Vice President as a brony. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Urdnot 2,680 March 27, 2013 Share March 27, 2013 After seeing how the show has been going lately, this news doesn't make me feel any better. What's really the top priority here? The show? Or the toys? After seeing where the show has been going as of late, I think we all know the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show of lately has been awesome, so I believe he means the show. Do you think the show has gotten bad? And if so why? Is it because of the whole Alicorn thing? I believe the Alicorn transformation has added a new exciting layer to the show. 1 This fantastic signature is made my by awesome friend Rainbow Skywalker!

Apocalyptic_Unicorn 240 March 27, 2013 Share March 27, 2013 It's their top priority since they realized how much money and how many fans could be gained. Its not just another fad, its a pop culture phenomenon, and the sooner they act with that in mind, the longer it will last.Plus, imagine all the money they're making since the show aired? They'd be stupid to let it die. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyCryptid 4,330 March 27, 2013 Share March 27, 2013 After seeing how the show has been going lately, this news doesn't make me feel any better. What's really the top priority here? The show? Or the toys? After seeing where the show has been going as of late, I think we all know the answer. There hasn't been a thing wrong with the show, did we get a few sub-par episodes in season 3? Yes, but we've always gotten a few of those each season. Just be thankful it's not in the same boat as Highlander, where roughly 50% of the content is below the mark, or downright bad. "You know, I don't know who or what you are Methos, and I know you don't want to hear this, but you did teach me something. You taught me that Life's about change, about learning to accept who you are, good or bad. And I thank you for that." -Duncan McLeod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrooveBroove 680 March 27, 2013 Share March 27, 2013 Considering the reports on how well the toys have been selling (Which aside from marketing into mainstream movies is their biggest source of revenue). It's in there best interest to keep the show going how it is and to keep the brony fans happy as well. That's not to say giving us everything we want, but the moment they start to shun us they're going to pay for it dearly in terms of sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamsong 253 March 27, 2013 Share March 27, 2013 If they are able to keep their focus on the core elements that made the show great to begin with, then, yes; I fully believe in my heart that it could last and remain amazing for many, many seasons. <3 "Like most worlds, Equestria had danger and drama and sadness and pain. But more than anything, Equestria was a world made to incubate and protect loving hearts.... ...It asks the hearts for their support to keep Equestria and its ponies safe, and to protect the Magic of friendship and love that their world was founded on." -- from The Real Story (by Nimaru) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,689 March 27, 2013 Share March 27, 2013 As long as it doesn't turn out like Spongebob is right now. It will have a top priority in sales of toys, and going on for more seasons to come. It might surpass Spongebob now, but not the old Spongebob that we all know and love. Pretty much, I know it will have enough magic to last as many seasons as it chooses to last for.

I was all freaking out, thinking that Joe Biden had actually come out and mentioned MLP somewhere, and then I scrolled down and realized what it was. I'm both disappointed and relieved. xD 1 The House Always Wins OOC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkBrony 379 March 28, 2013 Share March 28, 2013 That's awesome! I can't wait to watch a ton more MLP episodes! I think the show will retain it's magic and success too, because it's got a ton of supporters and quite a few more good storylines they could do! 1 ~SparkBrony The Brony Who Does Way Too Much Stuff!

NavelColt 22,880 March 28, 2013 Share March 28, 2013 Great to hear Though, should have been obvious for everyone, prior to any sort of confirmation. One does not simply 'not' cater their attention towards a show of theirs that's become a cash cow phenomena across the entire planet. As for the show's quality, as long as the writers and cast don't shift around a ton, things should be just fine. Considering almost everyone on cast, writings, etc adores the show and it's fanbase, we should be fine on all fronts for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Soul 2,611 March 28, 2013 Share March 28, 2013 I thought you were talking about Joe Biden, so I was all like . It's great to hear that it will be going on for a long while. I trust in the show's creators to deliver great episodes, even if the show makes it to an 8th season.

Homura Akemi 974 March 28, 2013 Share March 28, 2013 I could so see a lame ol' meme about Joe Biden proclaiming MLP to be so great use because of the topic's name. In all seriousness, Hasbro's most successful franchise is of course going to be the top priority. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
