Don't even start me!!!What I WANT to see with G5:Different characters we've never had before.NOT a Core 7/ Mane 6 repeat ad nauseum, but instead a wide variety of characters, including several of different species.Brushables being the main focus again, with smaller blindbag-styles being secondary to thisA decent size of Pony with Pony-like features & decent hair.What I EXPECT to see from G5:Pretty much none of the above...
Quote from: lovesbabysquirmy on August 16, 2020, 04:26:17 PMi would have liked to have seen the brand take a break. it gets exciting for the new generation when the ponies are new and upcoming. over a decade of FiM is exhausting. Let us wait ten years and try again >.<I agree with this. I don't understand the need to hop from one gen to another (for fans, I mean, I understand why Hasbro want to do it). If you stop being a fan the moment a thing is not in the store or on TV, you weren't much of a fan to begin with.

I sadly expect G5 to just be an "alternate universe G4".With similar characters and similar character designs.What dissapointed me the most about the concept art is that the character designs hardly look different. Big eyes. Short noses.

Big eyes. Short noses.Yeah I didn't like them.either. Some of the horsier G3ish designs were real pretty. But the grayhound looking ones with the pointy noses and thin limbs were equally outputting.
Zero expectations.But the toys would have to be MINDBLOWING to catch my interest if it's the mane 6 again.If that's the case they should just rebrand the whole thing as "Mane 6," lmao. Just declare MLP dead, and call it "These Six Horses in Whatever Art Style is Popular Right Now"The style is starting to deviate so far from the actual feel of MLP, and more just focused on shoehorning the mane 6 into every new trendy theme or style that comes along. The PonyLife ponies remind me of those LoL dolls, and the G5 concept art has a very Disney cartoon vibe to it, all of them- like Disney princess or that Spirit cartoon. Maybe some anime vibes here and there. But that was never MLP before, it was its own thing and had its own distinct style (even through to G4), now it just feels like it's trying to "fit in" with everything else that's popular these days, but all feels so same-y.(so I guess zero expectations isn't necessarily true, then....not good expectations. lol)
Lol apologies, I wasn't trying to take a jab at Spirit... (though admittedly I do find it funny that being compared to G5 MLP is an insult... lol! MLP, what has haaaappened to youuu )Their figures mixed with the Applejack designs reminded me, I suppose. Maybe they were nudging towards MPP inspiration? I didn't get that vibe though, lol. I got the Spirit vibe also because of their love to bandwagon, recently.
Ohh I see, apologies lol I guess looking at it I had remembered it so differently. Totally my bad, I misremembered it entirely. I thought it had a much more modern Disney look with the giant eyes and heads and tiny features they've been going for recently. I must have mixed that up with something else. Looking at it yes that show does look totally fine honestly. Now I'm wondering what I must have been thinking of, lol. Apologies.I do think maybe Applejack's more natural coat made me think of that. I do think it is an interesting idea for her though, I like the idea of natural ponies as well.
