The Ride Ends
“Season 9 will be the last season of Friendship is Magic, but this is definitely not the end for My Little Pony – in fact, it’s just the beginning! As we continue development on our all new CGI movie, we are dedicated to continuing our beloved stories told on multi-platforms and in the coming months we will be able to share our exciting new content plans that promise to entertain and delight our fans in more magical ways than ever before. Stay tuned for updates!”
But it's not over yet!!
My reaction is one simple word:
FUCK!
Honestly I think it's about time. Let it end before it Simpsons Itself.
Yeah, I won't mourn. Pony will still exist, and it feels like this show said what it had to say and has been kinda flailing around for the last few seasons. Not that there wasn't plenty of good material recently, but still...
But then I was and will always be an 80's child G1 fan, so my perspective is different from people who found pony only through FiM and don't know anything else.
I've said this on so many posts, the show might die but the fandom will continue to live, heck there might even be a G5, ya know if that one's a true rumor.
I'm so glad.
I just wish it had ended two or three years sooner.
Pretty sure this'll be just like Digimon. The second MLP goes off the air, they'll replace it with some other pony related thing.
I always thought that at a certain point I would eventually beg for the show to end. I never reached that point, which is good.
