Flop it to the princess
@Ring Team
Yeah pretty much exactly what I’m thinking lol, let ‘em stand on their own as much as possible. G4 had nine seasons to tell its story and wrap up, we surely won’t get nearly that many seasons with G5 so let’s use those seasons wisely by telling entirely new stories instead. People are gonna compare them sure but if we try to add too much of the old gen to it, the attempts to compare will override the enjoyment of the G5 story and water it down. A few connections here and there, fine, but what’s the point of a new generation if we flood it with the old one

That is one example, yes, and (aside from maybe the first season or so) Star Trek: The Next Generation should serve as a blueprint on how to do a distant sequel series correctly.

Completely agree.
Completely agree.
In fact, let me rescue a little message I’ve written two weeks ago.
I’m gonna say this: If G5 ended up being too dependent on G4’s “legacy” and references, it would split the MLP fandom into even more factions that don’t see eye to eye. I can imagine the complaints.
“They should have covered this”
“They should have used that”
“This character wasn’t in G4”
“There are retcons”
“That G4 pony wasn’t as good as this G4 pony”
“This character should have returned”
“This G4 episode wasn’t as good as this other episode”
The list of complaints would be looonger than what we already have complained about G4’s shenanigans.
I get the concerns. I was concerned about the last seasons of MLP:FiM when I finished season 7, so I get it. But the last thing the G5 needs to be is to be a tribute to G4 and a compilation of “remember this?” moments. Considering that MLP:FiM has a lot of problems and for the sake of G5 to be exciting, the story, world and context needs to be smaller focused and completely re-engineered, even the little details.
It’s not like G4 was perfect if we have to be honest. If it was, we would notice it.

So make it fair instead of one side in a constant state of envy and rehashing.

You can have connections to the original without having to bring in bloodlines, which are sort of an overused trope in fiction anyhow.

Supposedly Sunny’s transformation is temporary. She’ll apparently be an earth pony again come the series.

Because otherwise people will waste G5 comparing it to a generation that ended in 2019 instead of enjoying it for its own merit. A significant chunk of the fandom will be watching for old tired G4 references the whole gen instead of actually enjoying the show as it is

That sounds dumb. What is the point of a distant sequel if it has no connections to the original? Just make a reboot instead.

Yeah the fewer relations or connections to G4 characters the better, preferably none, I’m gonna be very disappointed if that happens. Full clean break from any and all G4 cast pls

Same. Otherwise it would only shackle them more to their predecessors.

Again I would greatly prefer it if none of the character are related to the mane 6 or any FIM character

It’s gonna take awhile to adjust to a newer MLP gen honestly. Everyone already seems invested, but I’m still kinda trapped in G4 with all the art I still do and the stuff I made correlating to it.
Aside the movie, is there any other G5 material?

There isn’t. I can’t explain Izzy unless it’s a totally non-magical Pinkie sense thing but Hitch is a just a dashing man.
