I Hope That Spin-Off Doesn't Go Anywhere and Goes Away Soon After It Airs · 9:48pm May 24th, 2013
I think you all know what spin-off I'm talking about.
I hate the very concept of it; turning something powerful and magical like Twilight into a human is a fate worse than death for her; it's taking away exactly what makes her who she is. On top of that, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the third word in the name of the show "pony"? Or is this whole thing now going the route MTV took when it comes to music?
I really hate the concept of this whole thing. I'm not going to watch it, nor give it a chance, because it destroys the very concept of the show, not to mention that it gets rid of the fantasy--one of its biggest points--completely. Unfortunately the movie has already been produced (I really wish it hadn't been) so all I can hope for is that Twilight is back as an alicorn at the end of it, and that this doesn't take off into a whole new series. If it does take off into a spin-off series, I'll consider (just CONSIDER, not definitely saying yes or no to this idea) leaving the TV series completely and sticking to fanfiction only. I've heard that this spin-off isn't canon and will not affect the main FiM storyline or lore at all, and I know that season 4 (as the dev team have said on their tumblr blogs) is pure FiM, and I hope that both these situations are the case, and that this spin-off never interferes with the main storyline at all, and I know I sound harsh for saying this, but I hope the spin-off fails to go anywhere. I really just hate the concept that much.
I don't have anything against the staff who made FiM, since it was Hasbro who made them do this (make this spin-off), and I refuse to go around mocking them or questioning their abilities (they don't deserve that, and it'd be rude anyway), but when they were asked to do this, I wish they would have just said "no".
