When MLP FIM ends this year the fandom will die with it and that's the saddest part

Its rare that I respond to blogs and it's even rarer to respond to yours but this one in particular caught my eye. What make you think that will happen? Because it's rare for a fandom to completely die off. Just look at Teen Titans(The original), Undertale(although that one is probably due to Deltarune sparking the series back up but even then, it was still going strong) and even Bakugan(Anyone remember the original series?).The first one in particular was (and still is) going even long after it ended(although you can argue that it's much stronger now due to TTG and to that, I say bosh because it was still very much relevant long before that existed).

Keep in mind that there might be a Gen 5(and with Equesrtia Girls being a thing) as well so I dont think this fandom is going anywhere anytime soon.

*Why did I get a dislike? Was I incorrect about something?*

5015842 The reason why it will happen is because of the recent dislike of season 3 when Twilight became an alicorn which still exist also some fans on forums have stated they have left the fandom or only watch the first three seasons after Twilight became an alicorn.

Second reason why it will happen Is because bronycon will end with the show. (This is was really announced) Once bronycon ends the fandom will get discouraged end mass.

I agree with you. EqG can just keep going on its own, given it's really a seperate franchise. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they just dropped the MLP name from that altogether!


5015847
I have to disagree with you there. Some fandoms are very resistant. For instance, the community surrounding Thunderbirds is still going strong. When did the last episode of that broadcast?

1966.

I'd like to say otherwise. We've hit a plateau, not a downward slope.

5015883
By all means.
5015895
Plateus can go in two directions. Up is hopefully where this one leads.

5015847
We got Gen 5

5015895 Not according to some fans

5015847

The reason why it will happen is because of the recent dislike of season 4 when Twilight became an alicorn which still exist also some fans on forums have stated they have left the fandom or only watch the first three seasons after Twilight became an alicorn.

A)That was in season 3. Not four(Or to be more accurate, the end of season 3) . B)While I'm aware it was dislike, that doesnt mean the fandom will die out. While it did shake it, the fandom was still strong. Heck, Equestria Girls(Or more specifically, the first movie) had a lot of people at arms at first(citation needed) but soon, everyone accepted it. Especially by the second movie.

Second reason why it will happen Is because bronycon will end with the show. (This is was really announced) Once bronycon ends the fandom will get discouraged end mass.

That is irrelevant. While it will be saddening(I've never been to one unfortunately), that wont stop everyone from being together. Like
5015870 mentioned, Thunderbirds are still a thing and that's been around(roughly) 20 years(and that's if we count when mlp first came to be and not just gen 4). Fimfic is a strong example of this. As long as this site is up, mlp will continue to live.

I wont get into the last point because I have no idea what you're going on about.

5015949 I still think the mass discouragement will happen though

5015988 I don't deny that. But it wont be as massive as you say

5015870 the only minor issue I have with that is if they do, wouldnt that go against the site rules since they wouldnt be mlp or am I overthinking it?

5015949
Thunderbirds had been around for almost 55 years now, and the fandom (or Fandersons, as we are called) is still going strong.


5016064
Hopefully not. There is talk of a Genfic overhaul (allowing stories from other series as well). Imagine that, a repository like Fanfiction.net with the quality control of Fimfiction!

5016092 A) I may have to see the series if the fandom is still alive after 50 years. B)Oh dear god...

5016122
This fan edit will give you a good idea;

5016092 Wait, how bad can this site's quality control be?

*Looks at TwistedCupcake's stories*Oh... Right. I thought Fanfiction.Net had bad quality control. If I had to assume right, that means it'll go from bad to worse.

5016132
I think that Twisted Cupcake auto-posts.

5016332 I think you missed the joke...

5016336 The point is this site wont be special if it becomes like Fanfiction.net. I rather not imagine the idea of that:facehoof:

5016342
Same. Let us hope that crossovers will do.

5016343 I can take crossovers but if it becomes available to everything, there will be so much stuff to go though, it'll make those who have tried to climb up rendered moot. Well, that and the amount of bad stories will go up exponentially

5016346
And intentionally bad stories!

5016363 and that's the best case scenario

5016538
An art in and out of themselves.

Not necessarily. The brony fanbase is known as one of the biggest fandoms out there. Sure, it's been going downhill for a while, but it's still going pretty strong. Honestly, it's the fan base itself that keeps itself going strong, if that makes sense. Because even those who stopped watching the show stay on this site to write and talk and other stuff.

No, I don't want to choke anyone, but the quote itself seems fitting.

Basically what it says: "I Find Your Lack of Faith Disturbing".

I was referring to your lack of fait in the fandom.
Because I'm sure (as well as most others) will not die with the end of the last season.

5017637 Sorry if you feel about it that way but that's just how I feel

5017661
You should not feel sorry for having an different idea of what might happen in the future.
Really.
Because no one (neither you nor me) can tell what actually will happen.

Who knows, maybe in the end, in a few years, people are talking about G4 as they are talking about G3 today; basically the circle repeating itself.

5017985 So the fandom won't die? I still don't believe that

By the way: The first trailer is out: (Warning: Major spoilers.)

(For a small moment Spike was actually awesome...)

5021624 I dont have any hope for the future of the fandom seeing this

5021658
Why?

Or more important: What would you have wanted to see in the trailer to keep your hopes up?
Queen Chrysalis instead of King Sombra kidnapping Flurry?
An alliance between the King and the Queen?
An reveal that Flurry had been the villain all along?

5021666 Trust me it's not. Sure they will be around for a little bit after the finale is over but I dont think it's going to last forever after that

And what about this one?
