It’s hard to say whether these were supposed to get out, but apparently some Hasbro investors have been sent concept art for the reboot of MLP expected next year (or possibly 2022). I gotta say, some of the design choices are... interesting , but on the whole, this is CGI I can get behind. I especially like the more integrated castle/city dynamic.
Pictures below the cut, massive spoilers obviously.

I ain't here to stir the pot or start controversy, but I wanted to give my two cents on the G5 movie.
Y'all may not know it, but I'm a veteran of the long war pony game since G1. Trust me, I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly, so I figured I'd give my hot take on the newest iteration of pastel equines.

The G5 movie exceeded my expectations, introduced a number of interesting characters, and was a fun, entertaining movie.

Originally, I didn't have high hopes for G5; however, that changed quickly once a few shorts were released. After the first official trailer came out right before EFNW, I was getting pretty excited for it. As it got closer, I did my best to avoid any more trailers or spoilers from jerky-jerks. The trailer did its job and piqued my interest.

...cuz I feel like the night market has a ton of potential for fanfics. If anyone writes a story involving the night market, let me know! I wanna read!

Either that or I shouldn't have shared that particular story to a Discord server that I knew had members that didn't like Rick and Morty.

...quite good, really. Note that I'm British and so "quite" is akin to "fairly". It wasn't as good as the movie, it wasn't as good as (much of) FiM, but it was well above the "this is a total disaster" threshold. I've recently rewatched "What About Discord?" so I feel I have a fair idea of what a truly bad piece of Pony is like, and Make Your Mark was not that. I enjoyed a decent amount of it and I'm looking forward to the series proper in September.

yesterday: *goes to bed knowing that there was a single image leak of G5*

*goes to sleep*

today: *there's a full-on 12 second clip showing some new characters and animation style*

hot dang.

In hindsight, G5 really shouldn't have been split into two shows.

Although I'm not entirely fond of the artstyle, it seems pretty obvious upon reflection that the show that should've been the sole focus is "Tell Your Tale"; honestly I think free YouTube shows is the logical place now for shows designed to push toys & merchandise: The audience is just naturally wider that way.

So it was recently announced that the MLP G5 kick-starter movie will be skipping a theatrical release and going straight to Netflix.

Me? I'm honestly okay with this. Mostly because I have Netflix myself and that just means I'll be able to watch it all that much easier!

Assuming it ends up being worth watching, of course...

News just came in about the main characters of the series, plus some revealed plot points and themes. I won't spoil anything. You can watch this video yourself here.

Spoiler below the break.

The artwork is starting to grow on me since I saw it this afternoon. I love the modern 3D look. The Flash animation of G4 looks strangely antiquated after seeing the G5 stuff.

I love the playful expressions in this picture. It gives me a Zootopia vibe, but with ponies. (Furries rejoice)

I figured I would do a quick character review of each of the Mane 5 from generation 5.

Sunny Starscout: Twilight Sparkle she is not, and that isn't a bad thing. Sunny is the hopeful idealist. Hope is both her greatest strength and her greatest weakness. Let's look at things Sunny says and does throughout the movie.

Like the title said, I haven't been active for a very long time on here and G5 is approaching. Anyways any news is appreciated, I wanna be there for G5

So the show is ending, how do I feel about that, well, I just feel like my childhood was destoryed, but I also feel excited to see what G5 is gonna be like.
So, in memory of Mlp Fim, I will be doing a photo and video collage on Friday, why Friday you ask, we'll be cause I can and I need time to get the perfect videos and pictures.

Also because I'm on holiday for half term in Tanzania and don't have my laptop with me and that's the thing I mostly use for blogs and stories etc.
