I watched it and I have no clue what was even going on. The little captions were random and made no sense. I don't understand what that video was even supposed to be!
Haha I'd go with G3.14. The Pi Generation.The problem isn't the parody idea, it's that it failed to be funny or even relevant.I genuinely felt like if it wasn't on the Hasbro thing, I'd assume it was done by a brony to mock G1 for some reason. It has that kind of tone and a similar lack of knowledge about G1? Or are they thinking that doing this is going to get that kind of fan to watch G1? Is G1 airing somewhere? What is going on? It's so confusing.I think it says everything that comments are disabled on the video xD.
The entire purpose is simple.........1: 80s nostalgia2:visitors can't see pics , please register or login
And yeah I have no idea for who it is, for bronies? But why would you mock g1 to sell "g1" toys?

I have lots of thoughts on Hasbro's mentality at the moment where G1 is concerned.They've tried to separate themselves from G1 for a while now, but till last year they could just assume all pony fans liked G4 better and didn't think much about G1 overall. BUT with Basic Fun doing the retros, which seem to be doing well and popular...now they're on the G1 bandwagon, but they're really still not committed to G1.They want our money as G1 fans, but as Hascon demonstrated, they don't really understand the pre-G4 community, nor have they really gone to town on reaching out to us for a long time. Instead it's been franchised/licenced merchandise or products that have been on our wavelength - clothing, retro ponies, mashems, etc. Hasbro seem to have realised this now, but I feel like they've trapped themselves on the brony side of this equation. So maybe this is an attempt to get over that?Not a very good one though.The thing is the retros have come at the same time as G4 is fading. The G4 movie wasn't a huge success. The toys have shelfsat in places here. G4 doesn't sell well at the moment, a lot of it is already at the carboot sale. I picked up a lovely Princess Skystar fashion style a few weeks ago, and two weeks ago I saw that electric twilight monstrosity there (The expensive one that talks that was out a couple of xmasses ago). So G4 is fading and the retros are building momentum at the same time.It's like HAsbro just realised that they missed a slice of the pony profit by discarding G1 (obviously they get money for the licencing and stuff, but not directly). And so now this.I wonder if it has impacted any design decisions around G5. I guess we'll find out. If they just get the message that WE ARE FED UP WITH M6 then that will be a step in the right direction.
I'm imagining it the other way around with several kids in a trenchcoat saying "Hello fellow grown ups".
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R5PSPS7/Maybe not as G5 but it looks like there's going to be a complete set of them.
I would be all for them! They are so much better then any of the G4 ponies to me! I would start to buy them again!
