So Posey is the new villain... sorta? Or some level of nay-sayer, anyway. Dunno how I feel about that. :\

The plot seems okay. Watching the trailer on my cellphone, I thought the animation was jerky and stilted, but watching it on my home laptop now and it looks fine.

One thing I really do like is them using Hitch to break some gender stereotypes in children's media. I like the idea that the male character is the one who likes animals and also is taking care of a baby, which are usually characteristics reserved only for female roles in cartoons. It's a small thing but I think it's important.

A new three-minute preview is up.

Imo the animation and lighting are not so great, but I do like the new voices.

Hmm, it looks really low budget. Animation looks worse than the trailer made it out to be. Most of the movements look stiff and the lip movements look really off.

I'll probably watch it anyway. The characters still seem charming enough and the voices are actually pretty good, but, that preview doesn't leave a good first impression on the visual quality, at least.

Spoiler
Also is it me or does Izzy look really sleep-deprived at 1:02 :zzz:

I was so excited to see Posey in G5, but I'm not liking the personality they seem to have given her - from what I've seen in the shorts and trailer.  :huh:

That really stood out to me as well!  And I agree with your thoughts about it.

I know it's just a fact of G5 and it's not going away, but I can't help how annoyed I am each time I see TV's and social media influencers in a MLP cartoon. :really:

But on the bright side, the opening song was cute and I love that dark-colored unicorn in the background at the 3:19 timestamp! Wish we got a toy of her~ I love non-pastel MLP toys.

Oh yeah I see her now, that unicorn has very pretty colors.

Sorry, I just went to go look at her again (call me obsessed lol) and I realize I wrote the wrong timestamp yesterday lol. D'oh! She's at 2:08. Man I might have to hire someone and get a custom made of her...

If they make Posey a buzzkill/villain I'll be Team Posey all the way :P

That Tic Toc (Clip Clop?) thing Pipp had going on was annoying as hell. It's a horrible app with seemingly zero child protections. Stop advertising it to kids just because it's something they know exists.

I was mildly annoyed at G4 having cities and celebrities based on real world and I am not thrilled with G5 going even further and implementing social media and other websites, along with brand names. It's so unimaginative and empty and just serves to advertise and turn kids into consumers (and yeah I realize that's an ironic complaint as a collector). It doesn't feel like a magical world, it feels like "pony version of 202? USA".

agreed. especially the tiktok thing - yikes. social media like that is so unhealthy for everyone but especially young kids. i used tiktok for about a year (teenager) and during that time my mental health plummeted. deleted and got better. mlp may be corporate but surely there are better ways to appeal to kids than this.

Spoiler
also not to get too political on the my little pony forum (had to reread the rules lol) and this has been said many times already but the whole "woke" thing is kind of cringeworthy. yes, kids should definitely learn about civil rights and to treat people well, and the movie provides some subtle insights when it comes to this stuff (i agreed with a lot of firebrand's (yt) review of the movie) but selling merch with the word 'activist' on it.. ech. of course the giant capitalist corporation would want people to focus on identity politics and not the effects of class division. rainbow capitalism, yay! that being said, and slightly hypocritically, if they ever introduce a nonbinary character, i will get overly emotional.

also yeah the dark purple pony is beautiful !

New clip, with Posey

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x8M-nnoQbI

And another 4 and a half minute(!) one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_zkjcClYhQ

Probably pretty pointless with it coming out tomorrow, but still.

Is that the direction that G5 is heading?  I hadn't noticed it, but yeah, it would be good to spice things up with more variety.

It's not the same, but I'll try and remember that when it comes to designing ponies.

(Side Note: I'm not sure when I'm going to be watching the G5 shows, so I'm going to at least try to avoid looking at stuff directly about them for now - that's for everyone, of course.)
I will confess to being a brony, but I assure you that the things you may not like about them do not apply to me, I mostly keep the fandom name due to nostaligia, but I do genuinely love MLP as a whole, not just FIM, and not just the popularity of FIM - I genuinely love the show (and all the others)

I watched the new special as soon as it came out. I liked it. It certainly doesn't hold up to the movie, but I enjoyed it nevertheless.
