Quote from: Itcheeee on June 11, 2021, 10:46:24 PMG5 isn't MLP to me. Honestly, it's everything I don't like in a nutshell. First pony gen ever that I will buy none of it. If I didn't know it was G5 and was told it was some Disney pony thing I'd believe it 100%. The faces are especially outputting. I don't like the whole idea or characters. Would of prefered the leaked art of the revamped mane 6, with maybe some new green ponies or Minty too.At least I can focus on the G1s through G4 things I'm missing now without much new G4 stuff (sadly)In fact I appreciate G3's line a lot more and might expand that collection.Wouldn't call it an unpopular opinion. A lot of people seem to be having a mixed reaction about it, as far as I can tell.

It's sad to me to see how much negativity this new gen has been receiving from the get-go, especially when I genuinely think they are SO DARN CUTE!
I really like the G5 animation and I think the ponies look fine in it. I'm looking forward to the movie. The toys are another story, imo. It's been brought up before; the flat faces, the long necks, the hair only on the top of the head, etc. I will still collect Sunny and Hitch figures (if they can decide on a body color for Hitch. Is he orange, yellow, what?).
Yeah honestly I think people have been pretty chill about G5 so far, definitely compared to how things were when Pony Life/G4.5 was revealed.. or Equestria Girls... pretty sure I recall the Movie G4s having a frostier reception than G5's getting, too. So far it seems like most of us here either LOVE G5 or are just kind of neutral to it, I've seen some "ugh yeah these aren't for me"-type posts but I don't remember seeing any huge super-angry rants about G5.Of course idk how people are reacting to them in other communities, that's just my perspective of how things are here on the Arena.
Now on Hasbro's social media accounts, on the other hand.... people who dislike it are uh. Very loud and annoying about voicing their negative opinions every time Hasbro makes a new post. At least on Instagram they are, not sure about elsewhere but I'd imagine it's similar. I think it's mostly children who grew up with G4 being very hostile to G5 on Insta.

I think most people are quite on the fence about it and those who aren't so keen are more just neutral about it, there's not been (as far as I have seen) a lot of massively ranty posts on the subject.Pony Life also had a much more vicious reception. And actually, I think G4 in its latter days has had a lot more mud thrown at it for repetitive toys and so on.Most of the conversation I've seen on G5 has been extremely mild....But it's all relative compared to G2.And of course, there's nothing at all amiss with finding G5 cute
People didn’t like G2 because it was the first time they’d ever been rebooted. They looked drastically different, lived in a different world and so on. I was ok with them but I would have much preferred staying with the original ponies. It was a sad time.However, once I was able to get a complete DVD set of the G1 cartoons, I was much happier. I love our modern world.
