Smashboi7 12 January 19, 2014 Share January 19, 2014 So I was thinking generation 4 in the first 2D version Right? so its bound to happen Generation 5 it may be along time from now with season 5 confirmed but back on topic I cant image a better looking 2D version of my little pony so will it go back to 3D? But how it looks aside when Generation 5 happens with new characters and new plot are we just going to toss the mane 6 aside for new ones how do you think derpy feels. So just think about Generation 5 its going to happen. Or don't think about it we have season 5 maybe season 6 before we have to put any energy into thinking about it.

Sugar Pea 2,682 January 19, 2014 Share January 19, 2014 how do you think derpy feels. I don't follow.Derpy is just a fictional character, so of course we wouldn't think about how she would feel. I don't think we would toss aside the mane 6, although new characters and plot would be kinda cool. If they ever use any of that 3D crap, that's where I would cross the line really. I always disliked 3D animating, because it's cheap. I prefer ACTUAL cartoons. ℓ٥ﻻ ﻉ√٥υ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singe 2,111 January 19, 2014 Share January 19, 2014 (edited) If the money can be ponied up, they could definitly make something with Wakfu style of animation. This would be good for MLP movie. Edited January 19, 2014 by Singe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky McGillyCuddy 956 January 19, 2014 Share January 19, 2014 because it's cheap Sir, please step into the parking lot for a moment.... |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| I love both 2D and 3D animation and it's not that one looks better than the other it's just that you become so used to seeing it that particular way (how it was originally animated) that if there ever is a switch it doesn't look right no matter how good the transition is. It's not the animators/modellers fault, it's purely because when you first saw the show your brrain decided that that is how those characters are supposed to look. There's actually some psychological event (another forum member told me about it once) where the first time you see something that something becomes the perfect representation of that thing. The transition from 3D to 2D is a lot easier to make work though. 2D to 3D almost never works well. As for generation 5. I would like to see the character design to change just a little, I would still like it to be 2D but just create the characters a little proportionally different. 3 If you'd be so kind as to check out some of my drawings, I would really appreciate feedback. http://mlpforums.com/topic/82464-feedback-is-magic/?hl=feedback+is+magic#entry2127254 http://mlpforums.com/topic/82871-what-happens-when-a-pony-fights-a-griffin/?p=2178588 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no sir, it's the fact that I seen so many good shows just not go too well with 3D...like Winx Club. They turned that all 3D, and many people dislike it. I'm giving my opinion on cartoons becoming all freaky 3D and stuff. How I see it, and I just don't like it. I probably wouldn't mind a different kind of animation, but I just dislike 3D. ℓ٥ﻻ ﻉ√٥υ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 2D to 3D in 99% of cases just doesn't work. That's not to say there aren't 3D cartoons that don't look good.

Clone Wars season 3.jpg Hmmm....true! Star Wars The Clone Wars did that very well...I mean, let me rephrase it this way. I don't mind that kind of 3D, if done very well such as this cartoon. But ones with 3D like Strawberry Shortcake or Sabrina Secrets Of A Teenage Witch...those are what I call cheap animation....or even Care Bears. They did that to Care Bears, and I used to own the original cartoon on VCR. Kinda ruined the nostalgia for me. 1 ℓ٥ﻻ ﻉ√٥υ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootalove 10,689 January 19, 2014 Share January 19, 2014 We don't exactly know yet, making speculations can work but it is too early in the season right now. I'll just say that Trixie will return and maybe go on an adventure with the Mane 6 possibly. Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReverseFaller 2,483 January 19, 2014 Share January 19, 2014 (edited) There is a chance that G5 will be a completely new show. By this I mean new characters, new story, ect. It may have no relation to G4 whatsoever. However, there is also the chance that Hasbro will see that G4 attracted adults with credit cards to buy their toys, so they may try to relate G5 to G4, or keep some of the same writers. If G5 does relate to G4, then a lot of interesting things could happen. How old would the CMC be? Would Spike grow up? Would Twilight be the new Celestia? I don't know. I just hope G5 isn't awful.

~StatesTheOblivious~ 1,795 January 19, 2014 Share January 19, 2014 (edited) Well, I don't know what could happen in generation 5. I don't even have a guess for story and scenery, but... well, it's likely going to be somethig that's more or less unrelated to generation 4 when it comes to characters and setting. But what I asked myself a few times: After this unexpected success of the franchise among people that are not part of the initial target audience, wouldn't it be possible that MLP - not necessary and not necessarily the whole franchise - will be adjusted to that? You know, more content, merch and products that are specifically and from the very beginning directed at a bigger, or even an older, audience?

Vorax 43 January 20, 2014 Share January 20, 2014 I would like G5 to have some continuity from G4. Children of the Mane Six would be main characters. They would go on their own epic adventures and meet people along the way with the guidance of a more grown up Spike, Celestia, Luna, their parents, and others.

Singe 2,111 January 20, 2014 Share January 20, 2014 Make G5 into an actual musical themed series. They like to oddly break into song on FIM and LPS. Just go ahead and make the next group the Idol (#). That way, we can get some kind of rhythm MLP music game with songs from G5 and G4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaCPU 270 January 20, 2014 Share January 20, 2014 G5 could start in a variety of factors. The main factor being how well G4 was able to strive and was there still any type of success in the later years. Hasbro looks like a group who will keep that show going until it needs to. If the shows ends in a negative outlook and more than 30-50% leave the community(because of low quality, not because it's gotten stale), then G5 will be more of a reboot to old roots like G1-G3. If it's the opposite, then it could just been new characters and good writing, so it would might bring slew of new people and regain what it had (not all, because G4 was a anomaly, but it would be enough to keep moving forward.) At this point, if G4 ended now and G5 pop in, then it would probably be slightly different visuals with around the same quality of writing. Making it good enough to keep going.

Smashboi7 12 January 20, 2014 Author Share January 20, 2014 i just thought of something like if they do keep it some what 2D they would put the mane 6 in the back round like derpy and we would most likely spot them like in nanoseconds now i do want generation 5 just for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMarkz0ne 962 January 20, 2014 Share January 20, 2014 I would like G5 to be darker and serious. But that depends on how long G4 will last, I actually want at least 8-10 seasons = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anadu Kune 668 January 20, 2014 Share January 20, 2014 (edited) To my knowledge all of the generations of MLP have ben 2D, so a switch to 3D would be a combo breaker, not necessarily a bad one. If G5 becomes a reality and with the growth MLP has gone through with G4 there is almost no doubt it will eventually after a long G4 run. For G5 Id find it very weird if they changed the style up too much, MLP has become a huge pop culture phenomena with G4. It would be pretty a terrible move for them to change such a well loved design. If they play it right they can just tell another story in Equestria with new characters. Maybe a different time period. MLP has something now that it never really did before, lore. Its got its own world with its own creatures that inhabit it. As long as they keep it in the land of Equestria they can pretty much do whatever they want. Edited January 20, 2014 by Anadu Kune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkiefan1287 610 January 21, 2014 Share January 21, 2014 Most likely if there was a generation 5, it will most likely be a new season, new character, and have no connection with season G4. It will just be a separate season. Still it is way to soon to say if they Hasbro will do that or not. Made by Gone ϟ Airbourne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
