MLP G5 Discussion and Speculation Thread

it seems Meghan McCarthy is possibly no longer at Hasbro going her resent announcement

@Background Pony #28EF  
Yep. I wonder if the script if she wrote is gonna be used or if Hasbro hired somebody else to write a different script. Sincerely, I think this movie should become 2D and air directly on TV or in some streaming service. It would be easier to produce!

@Background Pony #EA45
 
@Background Pony #28EF  
maybe Gillian Comerford might be up to it.

@Shimmering Spectacle  
I thought Gillian only directed most Hasbro stuff in Boulder. She writes too? That’s cool!

@Background Pony #EA45  
she’s a director actually

@Shimmering Spectacle  
Yep, I know it. And I also know she doesn’t have a Twitter account (maybe she doesn’t like Twitter?), so she wouldn’t have to put up with annoying, ungrateful and bratty fans. That’s why I think she should direct G5!

@Background Pony #EA45  
hasbro might have her on board for directing g5

I’m both excited, curious and apprehensive about G5. Seriously hoping that the mane six still feature somehow.
 
How would you guys feel about a multiverse?

@Applelight Limited  
Considering how well-received FiM was, a multiverse containing the FiM universe is essential.

@Applelight Limited  
I love it when a show does the multiverse.

@Applelight Limited  
Be fine, if the worlds are sufficiently different and interesting.

@Lord Goku
 
Multiverse, as in, “How to make your IP completely irrelevant by establishing that absolutely nothing matters anymore since you can just go in another dimension and grab whatever you lost in yours”? Yeah, I’ll stick to using that purely for slice of life matters like the Rarity-only dimension in the manga.
 
Multiverses and time travel, when relied upon as a main plot device has a tendency to absolutely destroy whatever it touches.

@Poison Trail  
have you seen the arrowverse?

@Poison Trail  
I think he means like different dimensions, not ‘alternate timelines with a different name’.

@PonyPon
 
Is there a difference?
 
That’s the thing with opening that can of worms. If you can go to “Dimension with human-ish versions of ourselves”, what’s stopping them from going to, say, “Dimension in which X and Y didn’t happen”, “Dimension in which everyone is this character that just died” or “Dimension with a villain using a multiverse-threatening device, though due to the nature of infinite realities this should be happening constantly and reality shouldn’t be a thing anymore”.
 
The comic series already went further with “Dimension in which good is evil and evil is good” then hit Celestia over the head so that she’d turn into a damsel in distress for an alt!Sombrero, that was bad enough.
 
Just… yknow. I feel some things are better left untouched. Once the possibility of dimension- or time-travel is invoked, it’s all just a matter of time before someone runs out of ideas and uses them once again while harming continuity.

@Poison Trail  
No, you don’t get it.
 
I mean like different places, with different people, with different physical rules, functionally more like different planets.
 
None of that other shit you’re going on about is even possible in this scenario.

@Shimmering Spectacle  
It’s a strong possibility.

on related note: I wonder what happened? Meghan rose to power in Hasbro now she possibly out of company? will we ever get the story on that?

Ponies I want for the G5 reboot:  
Mane 6  
Sunset Shimmer  
Saffron Masala  
Lyra and Bon Bon  
Derpy Hooves  
Vapor Trail  
Tempest Shadow  
Cheerilee  
Cheese Sandwich

Bulk Biceps  
Tree Hugger  
The Royal Sisters, of course  
Princess Cadence  
Cherry Jubilee  
Aloe and Lotus  
Starlight Glimmer  
Trixie  
Sunburst  
Sassy Saddles  
Coloratura

@ApplejackFan204  
I think the chances of Celestia, Luna and Cadance appearing in G5 are pretty low.

@Background Pony #EA45  
What about the others?

@ApplejackFan204  
I don’t know. Maybe they’ll appear? I mean, G5 Applejack very likely will be like Sunset Shimmer and Tempest Shadow before their redemptions kicked in, but that doesn’t mean they can’t exist.

@Background Pony #EA45  
I’m have heard alicorns might appear, but in a less physical, apparent capacity.
 
Like actual gods.

@Background Pony #28EF  
I heard she’s just on a hiatus until boulder and allspark actually get up and running.

@ApplejackFan204  
with starlight in particular, i pray she appears in g5
