Next Movie Straight to Netflix · 5:56pm Feb 12th, 2021
The official second My Little Pony movie will apparently be skipping the theaters altogether according to Variety. In a change that is most likely thanks to Covid, they will instead be premiering it on Netflix, completely streamable.
They haven't announced if there will be a different date for it with this format, so we are still looking at September 24th for the release. I'm sure we will hear all about it on the 25th during their brand press event.
While I'm glad we'll be able to watch the next movie in the comfort of our own homes. I do wish I could've seen it in theaters like I did the first one. Oh well, I can always make a big bowl of butter popcorn and grab a big fountain drink of coke to enjoy it while I watch it. But will have to wait until September.
Well that's good. I hope the movie is still part of our G4 series. Or it's for the New G5? Nevertheless, we have to wait for September.
Any news about the Equestria Girls franchise, boss man?

Sadly no
Make sense.
I know people want to watch the film in theaters but we are still in pandemic and I imagine studio just want to get that movie out rather than delaying the film many times (I'm looking at you, No Time to Die).

According to report, Gen 5 will take place in same continuity as Gen 4 aka Friendship is Magic show but it's set in near future.
Think of this as Gen 5 as Friendship is Magic: The Next Generation.

Well, no news is good news.

I think that considering Luster Dawn and her Friends as the "New" Main Six ( The Pillars in the Past, the Mane Six in Modern Day, and the Young/Student Six as the "other" next generation) are introduced in the Finale.
They could be the New Characters?

Well it's said the movie’s main character, is an activist working to make the pony world a better place. So that's for the next movie. Unknown who the series main characters will be

Apparently, the phrase, "Activist working to make the pony world a better place" has set off alarms in many people's minds and caused them to go, "Oh no, it's political/woke!" and become "cautiously optimistic" at best, and be driven to avoid it altogether at worst.
Seriously, they sound like any measure of politics in a TV show can only be a disaster magnet! Did they forget that politics have already existed in entertainment media for years?
