G4: It was killed?

There is a couple of videos on Youtube about different (dead) videogame franchises that explain why it ended up dead. Its had names like "XXX hasn't died, it was killed". After I saw S9 ending I feel like the same happened with G4. That it still has lots of potentials but Hasbro unwillingness to make any significant changes and their attempt to get "more of the same" pretty much killed that potential.

In my opinion, any good franchise needs to grow. To evolve. If you don't do this - you die. Yes, you can for some time live on past glory and the loyal fanbase but you can't do this forever. But in case of G4 Hasbro tried to do exactly the same - make money while changing precisely nothing. The same. The same. The same. Very little changed. I feel that old writers start to leave because the tired from doing the same. And Hasbro attempt to brings in independent contractor writers make everything even worse - show start to lose cohesion, the wholeness. The show turned into a bunch of loosely connected episodes that barely acknowledge each other existence and that completely forgot that anything past S5 ever existed. Yes, good episodes still exist, good songs still exist, but that is - they, so to speak, exist in a vacuum. They don't connect to anything, they just... exist. By themselves.

So again - in my opinion, Hasbro killed G4. I'm can only hope that they learn their lesson and make a better job in G5... But who I'm kidding? Most likely they didn't learn anything.
