My OC is an alicorn and he's a prince. What's so bad about that? He could marry the other three alicorns (Princess Cadance is already married though)

Stating it like that makes him look bad. There are thousands of Prince alicorns that are black with white/red/gray and etc. What's different between your OC and theirs? Why is he a prince? Any reason he is an alicorn? Any explanation why as to how he is a male alicorn? Since most think only mares can be alicorns.

People make a lot of assumptions in everyday. So without features to distinguish your OC from the bad, it's largely assume he is bad too.

He's a special alicorn, but yeah I know what your talking about. I just feel alicorns could be male too.

Oh, I didn't mean that having a prince alicorn is bad, I meant why they're a prince/princess is usually weird and bad.

I am weird in general so I guess it doesn't bother me

When it comes to Alicorn Oc's, I usually can accept them as long as they got a good reason to be princess, like, we got the princess of sun, of moon (including stars), of love and of friendship. I had a plan on a princess, may or may not use it, and it was supposed to be the princess of Joy/enjoyment. Not the best idea, but if an alicorn doesn't have a good reason of alicorn powers, I just have a hard time to accept it...

All hail Queen Whiskey.

You are right about this. Ponies have always been something that has been aimed at little girls between the ages of 2 and 11 since pony books became popular in the 1920s. This is what started this whole mess about ponies being for little girls. I wish that ponies would be something boys would like, but they don't seem to appreciate them since society has brainwashed them into liking stuff like transformers. Hasbro has to deal with their traditional demographic for MLP or face the fact that the franchise will be completely done and they go out of business. I hope one day that ponies will be something both genders will enjoy, but that will be hard considering 90 years of segregation between both genders like the colors pink and blue.

What's wrong in liking transformers? 
I'll have you know it's a good franchise despite having some terrible games and all explosion type of movies.

Also both genders are enjoying MLP today.

I'm sorry. I never just had any interest in most toy brands for boys excluding hot wheels when I was little. I tend to be a girly-boy at times which is why I like other generations now of MLP except G2 which probably sucked. I'm just telling you that just because MLP is being enjoyed by both genders today doesn't mean it'll stay that way. Keep in mind that in Europe, Hasbro has to deal with the more popular Filly brand which is actually liked by girls only. Again, I'm sorry but I have no interest in transformers but respect your interests in it.

I really don't know. Assuming "they" is the same crew for FIM, it should be good. If not then I wouldn't know what to expect.

I can't imagine the current crew for FIM will stay for G5. G5 might not even have any cartoon at all! It won't even begin until maybe the later part of 2019 considering Hasbro added 5 more years to G4's life and that G3.5 merchandise was still being sold in stores as late as 2011.

To differentiate it from G4, they should focus on fantasy and story arcs. Maybe have humans from "our world" come to pony land and help them, like in G1.

That would be nice. I could see a G5 cartoon being similar in fashion to the 1986 cartoon. Although it probably will be in CGI animation.
Post Merge

There already is one...

That's actually Filly Funtasia which is a CGI animated cartoon based upon the Filly toy series from Dracco. It mainly exists in Germany, Central Europe, and Russia and is MLP's major competitor in the European market. It won't show it's first episode until 2015 and by the looks of the trailer I don't think it'll be that bad.

Dude, get real, that's just the result of cable networks catering to the target audience. Shows like Ben 10 may not appeal well to us, but generation Z loves it. My parents were baby boomers, and they always hated the cartoons I watched in the 90s. The same cartoons that people in my generation remember as the golden age of Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. Times change, different generations like different things. New age cartoons are not inherently good nor bad, it's just what generation Z likes. I wonder if generation Y knows how old and cranky the sound when they rant about how bad recent cartoons are by their taste. "Them kids these days don't know what real cartoons are!"

So why does FiM appeal so well to generation Y? Simple: Lauren Faust. She worked on the likes of shows like Powerpuff Girls and Foster's, which were popular during out childhood, and brought the same feel of those shows to FiM. Were it not for Faust, I guarantee you the brony community would never have existed.

TLDR: Different generations like different things. It's pretty egocentric of generation Y'ers to think cable networks should cater to our tastes, rather than the current generation of children.

It's true. If everything was kept the same as it was in the 1960's, I can prove to you that it will become boring. Changes may not be so nice, but that's life and its the only way to keep things in this world of ours fresh.

so if they made a generation 5 of my little pony, how would you react. What do you think the new ponies would look like? (i know this is really pointless and has already been asked before sorry  )

It won't really matter now because it won't be until 2019 that G5 would come out. Heck, G4 might even surpass it if it's still popular in the next couple of years as in G4 will go into the 2020s. Chances of that happening are very slim though considering the generation will already be ten by 2020 and fifteen if it makes it to 2025! I'm sure by then that G5 will be in service.


What if G5 was like this:

Spoiler: show

An animation design that was used in MLP FIM, but is different. I think they call it bbbff or chibi design, but I'm not sure. Some other animation style that Faust created though. It would be a simple design, yet very cute.

Is this true or an idea?

Idea.

You bronies and thinking you're the center of attention. Hasbro doesn't care about keeping the adult audience. Their main focus was and always have been little girls. So when G4 ends and G5 is made, they will make it for little girls without considering for the bonus adult fans.

I'm certain it'll probably be in 3D models since G5 animation will probably be made in a similar fashion to Filly Funtasia.

2014 Jul 29, 21:38:23

It would be nice because I was just talking about them creating a movie that was not part of the Equestria Girls series. If they were to ever create a movie based off of Friendship is Magic, 3D should be the option to go. I would like if they created a film where a typical MLP fan like a Brony ended up in Equestria by a portal that came out of nowhere. The human would be turned into a pony and into a more life like version of Equestria as we would see it, with everything looking very real instead of a cartoonish look. The newly transformed pony would meet the Mane 6 and join them on one of their most epic adventures yet. A movie based on FIM should be released by October 2015 in honor of the 5th Anniversary of the television series or 2020 in honor of the 10th Anniversary if G4 is still around then.

Introductions Archive / Welcome

2014 Jul 29, 16:14:36

I'm Bro1997 and I have only been a brony/MLP fan since January of 2014. My favorite cartoon is My Little Pony Friendship is Magic and the only cartoon on the air that I'll watch now. I don't like much cartoons anymore excluding this one, but I am looking forward to Season 5 and also my birthday which is August 3rd. I feel worried because I don't do much fan art or fanfiction and don't talk on forums much. I also am nervous about the brony fandom going away and the show being cancelled as this is the only cartoon I enjoy. I do like other MLP cartoons however and hope that a G5 is developed and is as successful as G4. I also feel that not going to Brony conventions like BronyCon in Baltimore make me less of a brony even though my parents and family know about my love for ponies now.

I knew about the Brony fandom as early as 2011, but was never truly interested until 2012. Even then, I was worried that liking ponies would be a bad thing so I didn't truly start watching this show until January of 2014. I feel bad that I waited so long to enjoy something like this. I just hope this show goes on to at least 2018. I've read that according to Russian forums or something that the Equestria Girls movies would continue until 2017. IDK, I've now become a MLP fan in general now enjoying G3 movies and such. I'm just hoping G5 will be as good as G4 and not another G2 because that was a total failure for the now 31 year old franchise.

I don't ever remember an episode of MLP FIM where Las Pegasus was featured. Manehatten, Appaloosa, Cloudsdale, and other major cities in Equestria were featured so what about Las Pegasus.

I'm sure Rainbow Rocks will be a good movie. It would be nice to actually have a My Little Pony movie that stars the ponies instead of humans though. I'm just curious though about if something is going to happen with these Antagonists that would threaten Equestria and bring Twilight back to the human world to help her friends there.

I'm sure that Season 5 will start sometime in November of 2014, although keep in mind that the 3rd season of Littlest Pet Shop premiered just a couple weeks after the season 4 finale of MLP. Hasbro could release it anytime between now and early 2015. Remember that it takes time and money to produce animation like this so give some patience, time, and respect to the MLP team at DHX.
