This is why G5 fucking sucks.

"Cullen says he was always deeply invested in telling Sunny’s story and found inspiration in the actions of young people around the world who are making a difference in their communities. “What happens to a character like Sunny who, deep in her heart, believes that there’s something wrong with her world and no one else believes her?” he says. “What does it take for a character like that to not just say that there’s something wrong, but to go out and do something about it? Greta Thunberg kept coming back to us as an inspiration because she went from being a child protesting at her school to crossing the Atlantic Ocean and addressing a room of the world’s most powerful people. To me, that was an interesting story to tell because it is hard for people to go out and speak their truth.">Greta ThunbergBWAHAHAAHAH THIS IS A FUN READ ALRIGHT kill me
I only shop at Hyvee because they are stocking G4 merch. I stopped shopping at Walmart because they sided with G5.

"The challenge became how to maintain some continuation of the past while being set hundreds of years later. One of the ways Mayer and his team achieved this was to keep some of the key attributes of the places fans loved from past stories. “Maretime Bay has some elements from Ponyville. You can see some design details like the window shapes that we brought from Ponyville,” he explains. “We thought that over time they moved to the coast, but they kept some of the design from the city. Bridlewood is an evolution of Everfree Forest from ‘Friendship is Magic,’ especially when it came to the shape of the trees. Zephyr Heights comes from Cloudsdale. Now that the magic has gone, they can’t live in the clouds anymore so the next place they could go were the mountains above the clouds. They still keep the same feeling in the clouds even though they’re now grounded since they can’t fly.” Another way to pay homage to the past was to infuse the film with enough easter eggs that fans could watch the film over and over again, never ceasing to discover new things that relate to both the current and previous ponies. “I think the biggest ones were in Sunny’s house,” Mayer reveals. “We decided to put a huge amount of easter eggs in there because we thought of her father Argyle as an Indiana Jones kind of guy, an archaeologist or a professor. He collected things that he had found over the years so his office is full of easter eggs. "New lore
Why couldn't they make the main series in the style of FIM?
>>39551830Because Hasbro is probably the most incompetent and backwards company in mankind history.
At the beginning of “Gonna Be My Day,” Sunny passes over a bridge that reads “3.89” which is a completely accurate measurement. The tunnel is exactly 3 meters and 89 centimeters high.8. One of the film’s scared yelling ponies is played by Heather Langenkamp Anderson, who starred in “Nightmare in Elm Street” and is known as one of horror’s most famous scream queens. 9. When Sunny refers to her “142 Questions for a Unicorn,” the filmmakers can confirm that they did, in fact, write all 142 questions
Sunny’s drawing in the film that she makes with Argyle is based on a sketch created by the son of director José Ucha. He completed the picture in pencil and the designers colored over the top. He’s even credited at the end of the movie. “There are three moments in the movie when that appears and each time I get a little emotional,” admits Ucha.
>>39551827Nice.
Oh, this is all movie info. This has be known to use for years because of various interviews done by the staff. That scene in the underground section of Zephyr Heights was even slightly retconned by MYM.
Do you know what?None of their inspiration comes from the previous music of my little pony.
Fuck man I expected some juicy internal production gossip about the shitty pay and time constraints
This shit is going to give me a brain aneurysm, you take one look at all they claim as inspirational sources and it becomes clear the people that made this haven't spent more than a grand total of four or five days outside a major urban center in their lives.

>>39551804Yeah, looks like it's a bunch of news articles, some of which weren't released because they're redundant.
MLP g5 really would've been better without any connection to g4. It'd make the connection to the two less jarring. They barely feel related at all, and if they just did away with it, then g5 would be more commendable for trying to hold on its own.

>>39556109Sent the wrong picture, but that's the letter I got back after writing about how much I liked the gentler Izzy from the movie. It's obviously a form letter reply, but it doesn't cost anything to try. And it worked for Derpy, after all.
>>39556109Or compare it to fucking Season 8, which just turned Equestria into America with immigrants and racism, and it’s easily the most hated season. The writers saying they don’t want G5 Equestria to be like that is a good thing.

I thought, ‘Wow, you don’t expect that from a pony movie!’ We are telling the story of how it comes full circle and gets back to a super cute place where they love each other as they should because it’s My Little Pony.”Looks like we found where the brainstorming went wrong.

>>39554300>>39554296>mfw this againserious question for the pair of you; when IS it okay to explore that sort of thing?
>>39568923>>39568547
>>39554772>>39552069(1/2)Now listen here, buster. Do you see the title of G4? It's about friendship and kindness. It is clearly going to have some generic message about 'respecting people's differences' and 'don't be mean to those who are different'. Yes some of it was corny but so what? I'll be generous and assume people resorting to hyperbole about either G4 or G5 just really really hated it, and were pretending to have these opinions instead because they want an excuse to hate a kids' cartoon that much.The reason it worked is because they made their own forms of prejudice up to serve as stand-ins to make kids think about things and help them grow up a bit nicer, rather than direct references. Because it was a cartoon, not Mr Rogers. And they were more show don't tell. They showed the ponies learning to be nice and shit, rather than a lecture, and they weren't on the nose. So is it political?It's a matter of degree, and /pol/ posters WERE generally (not all of them tho) reading too far into it, saying it was either 1. woke nonsense because how dare writers consider using personal experiences to make something different, and they can't be bothered to tell the difference between an abstract, generic analogue at its most basic and something like Captain Planet and its cheesy, on the nose environmentalism, calling it propaganda, when it isn't, though it does feel at times like propaganda, just shit hamfistedwriting. Here they meant activist material with an attempt to convince you of something, literally just propaganda in the original sense. Nothing too out there, just presumptuous. THAT can be reasonable in some circumstances. Remember that I said that, okay?2. But there are quite a few /pol/tards who say propaganda, meaning something much more sinister. Be aware of that. They were saying it's propaganda based on a lie with some secret alterior motive like grooming, racial destruction and even ze Juden.
>>39569095Just because the show says 'it's okay to be different!' and has Big Mac run around in a dress pretending to be apple bloom's sister doesn't mean it's trying to say 1. 'use womxn or you're a bigot!' or 2. 'grooming propaganda' if you're really out there.Just because they put more non pony characters in to explore things like culture clash in a kid friendly way doesn't mean it's 1. intending to wax lyrical about diversity in a hamfisted manner or worse 2. be 'anti white propaganda' or whatever.Same with G5.Might as well say that the ponies living separately from each other isn't just a generic thing about tolerance and being nice to different people, but is 1. going to try and be East Is East but come across as patronizing as it's trying to fit it all into a kid's cartoon, or worse 2. is trying to promote miscegenation with the purpose of wiping out white people.1.is the fox news take, 2. is the stormfront takeAnd for fairness, people saying it's not antiracist enough, and it's just colourblind yadda yadda, therefore it SUCKS and it's still racist, are being just as kneejerk. The assume the writer has a woke intent, just like these examples above, but is lazy.They write pseudoacademic pieces on how shit like Dr Seuss' stories about tolerance weren't anti racist enough e.g. the Sneetches, they're just 'moderate liberal drivel' and harp on like they're Malcolm X when really they're just Dewey Jenkins.TLDR they jump to conclusions and come up with mental gymnastics just like that either cause they're nuts or just hate something for personal reasons and feel the need to give themselves an excuse instead of just saying they hate it.Don't be like that. Save yourself a migraine.This might seem like a major lecture, but it's because you bastards are a-okay and I care about you getting too tied up in knots.Peace
>>39568547>>39567950>>39551810>>39557327>Gillian and Graham>I just read that as 'Gilliam and Graham'>No My Little Pony written by Terry Gilliam and starring Graham Chapman>No Time Bandits but with ponies>mfw how glorious that would bei think we can all agree that it's nevertheless intriguing that they found greta to use as ain inspiration for something, right? Purely just as a thing to observe, academically.But that said I fail to see the problem here - it's not like they put loads of envirnomental messages in it all hamfisted, was it? Like, Captain Planet with ponies. And just as well because it would be hamfisted. You'd need a Fluttershy for them to fit in without hamfisting, and Hitch is not the same, just because he can talk to seagulls.

>>39582931For now.
>>39568983In high quality, consistent, and meticulously crafted scripts.If you don't have a bulletproof story with understandable characters who are well rounded and believable, in a world that is well thought out and makes sense on scrutiny, and who weaves that message in so that it never grinds it to halt, then nobody will complain. Not only will the work stand up on its own, people will actually respect you enough to maybe listen to that exploration. If the characters are too basic or poorly written, the plots too dumbed down, the world nonsensical, then you're just wasting everyone's time. You're wasting the time of the people who want entertainment, because you're making it about an opinion people don't care to see. You're wasting your own time because there will never be an impact, it'll have all the lasting ability of a random tiktok. You're even wasting the time of the people who agree with you, since you're just preaching something they already thought without giving them anything more than "Yes you are right, now cheer for me."If you're not working to make your characters both entertaining and memorable, why would we respect you when you used them for a mouthpiece? If you constantly have to tell people not to think too hard or question how your world works, why would anyone care what you think of the real and much more complex one they live in? If your story can't stand up on its own, then anyone who tries to take a lesson from it is doomed to fall apart. But you knew that, it's been proven time and time again that actual quality rarely gets these sorts of criticisms, and they almost never last. But preaching in a bog standard message is the easier of the two, and it's something people who don't have the talent and aren't willing to actually put in the work to make their story work cling to like a lifejacket. Who cares if people point out your characters are basic, your world doesn't make sense, and your story falls apart if you think about it, the story is "Saying something important". If it was actually important, they'd work until there isn't a single thing people might think about save the story in front of them and take away from it, but they know the truth.The reason people keep saying to get rid of that is because nobody respects your shitty story enough to care about it. Fix that first, if you can.
>>39583431>If it was actually important, they'd work until there isn't a single thing people might think about save the story in front of them and take away from it, but they know the truth.What is "actually important"?If you (or more rather a normie) gave this question to the G5 production crew, I'm sure they would say the most important thing is to tell an immersive, entertaining story.Yet this is not what we actually get.And the reason why is revealed immediately by this leaked document.>“This is a universe without sexism, racism, or homophobia. It’s an idyllic society. With pastel-colored ponies, everyone is coming together and celebrating their uniqueness and their differences. My Little Pony has stood for friendship and inclusion since the very beginning.”First direct quote of the doc, first page. Funny how when these people address their own class, what is "actually important" has nothing to do with story.And so, while you are right on all points on strong story --> lasting impactful messaging, it is irrelevant, because what is "actually important" to the MLP brand is signaling loyalty to the ruling regime.This also explains why we see more franchise "reboots" than ever before. Attach your signaling to a story that already exists. Unlikely that we see any more good original stories from our corporate entertainment giants, at least in their current form.Summary: Corporate storytelling is and will remain fake and gay for the foreseeable future, pic related.
>>39584002So you're saying that Hasbro are monarchists?
>>39558902I think Zephyr Heights is legitimately the only good thing about G5. Art Deco is just too good.
>>39584060Yeah
>>39584060>implying Hasbro is basedI wish we had some bona fide monarchists working on G5.Quite the opposite, unfortunately. Hasbro is just a collection of midwit elites sucking up to their more intelligent peers.
>>39585770I mean, Queen Haven is an absolute MILF.
>>39584084Zephyr Heights is pretty great, I love the design, but I also really don't understand why everyone shits on Maritime Bay so much, Crystal Eyesore 2.0 not withstanding. Bridelwood looks pretty comfy as well.
>>39586990They settings in G5 aren't as bad as they could be. But they pale in comparison to G4 settings, except for some G4 locations like Las Pegasus that tried too hard to be referential. And of course G4 developed many more locations than G5 which can't seem to be assed to do anything outside of the three main locations + the villain castle. The G5 world is diminutive compared to G4 and the fantasy element suffers greatly from it. Hell G4 even had dreamwalking episodes and you know the G5 staff isn't driven enough to pull settings like that off.
>>39584002>First direct quote of the doc, first page. Funny how when these people address their own class, what is "actually important" has nothing to do with story.>And so, while you are right on all points on strong story --> lasting impactful messaging, it is irrelevant, because what is "actually important" to the MLP brand is signaling loyalty to the ruling regime.Signaling for regime loyalty was also true in the 2000's and 2010's. What's really happening is that there are people working for these corpos who do want to tell stories that they think are good, but intelligence and creativity is dropping, so the odds of the manifestation of high quality art drops as time progresses. Couple this with ethnic nepotism making it harder and harder for highly creative Europeans to get their ideas produced and you have the state of corporate entertainment media today.

>>39587474Another reason 2d > 3d
>>39587474Maretime Bay is nice, but I want to see more of the actual town. So far we've only gotten a glimpse of things and the residents. What G5's settings problem is isn't the fact there's lack of more locations, its the fact there hasnt been enough to flesh out the locations at all, more zero development locations would just repeat the main issue and feel cardboard flat like EQGs shitty settings. G4 had this problem with Cloudsdale being really halfassed and vague only touching on it a few times, but G4 fleshed out ponyville more than G5 has with Maretime bay. It's easy to do, with what how much concept art they had started with imo. It doesn't take much to get the ball rolling but they've barely expanded on anything for now. AI does a better job at this then the diversity quota team

The fact that more and more people are able to perceive the thought control tactics of university + mass media + fed bureaucracy complex means that the regime is losing their ability to wield these tactics effectively. After all perfect thought control is imperceptible to the victim. No doubt the IQ/creativity drought is hitting the regime's new guard as well, and faster than other organizations in the West. That's Bioleninism for you.Not that gives me hope for better corporate storytelling in time for say, a G6. The new guard will drive Hasbro into bankruptcy before that happens, unless there is by some miracle a counter-infiltration into their entertainment divisions by creative Anon-adjacent types.>>39588583As >>39589451 said vision has left the G5 team.>how much concept art they had started with imoWasn't even aware of this art but now seeing >>39591563 this proves my point. That concept art is oozing with character possibilities. But no, the G5 production team chose to develop pony Greta Thunberg LMAO.Remember frens, this is why politics matters. The regime hates you and they are coming for your mares.>>39591384>only category that "skews dual" is centered around G1lmao Hasbro absolutely refuses to acknowledge the existence of the male G4 fanbase
>>39593815>Not that gives me hope for better corporate storytelling in time for say, a G6Agree with you. Even if we get a based G6 we'll all be old men by that time...Perhaps some enterprising rando will make a cute friendship animal show in the next 10 years though.
conspiracy theory time. what if a lot of the changes in G5 were made to alienate and turn away the brony fanbase
>>39594316It's not that farfetched is it?>What's the matter, sir? You seem troubled by this concept art. >>39591563<Don't you see the problem, Brian? The chipped tooth, the goggles, the wrench, the scruffy hair. It just seems so...full of vitality.>I fail to see why that is a problem, sir A core element of the MLP brand is to evoke creative wonder in our target demo, correct?<Let me tell you something, Brett. At a cocktail party last week I struck up a conversation with an old friend -- she's a professor of psychology at Yale, you know, at the program my daughter applied for grad school -- and she expressed...concern...about certain fans of the current show.>The bronies, sir?<That's right. I learned that the bronies are a not infrequent topic of discussion with her academic colleagues. Did you know just how toxic these men are, Bruce? Evidently they have associations with the infamous hacker known as 4chan. Oh, was she ever disappointed in our inability to cut away from these uncultured lowlifes.<But she relayed to me a solution. We must make the next generation characters more sympathetic, more relatable, and more into praiseworthy causes. Think Greta Thunberg as a role model, she said. There was a show she praised, Trevor Universe, that we can use for inspiration. That's a show with a respectable adult fanbase, she let me know.>Revenue from bronies helped us stay in the black last FY, sir...<We don't need it. We'll reorient toward the 4 – 6 girl demo.>With all due respect, sir, Peppa Pig is dominating that demo. We'd be competing with ourselv--<Dammit Brandon! I refuse to let our toxic fans jeopardize my daughter's chance at a PhD from an Ivy League school! Tone down the characters and reorient the brand!>I'll see what we can do, sir.<See to it, Brenton. You are dismissed. Hail Satan.>...hail Satan, sir.
>>39594744I don't believe any of that stuff is true except for the last bit.
>39593815>muh grettafag againthe fact you didnt make the connection before a document says so, says enough about how much this is a bullshit talking point. get some new material
>>39594316February was last year
>>39552025You know that makes the ponies passing under it about 3-4 feet tall at top of head level right? It just proves the 3 foot tall mare height which the fandom mostly agreed on.

It's currently undergoing preparations and should be operational within six months. My people will continue to report on its progress within six months.

>>39599302when did they decide to all move in together.when was the crystal brighthouse thing even happened.
>>39600305TYT
>>39600305They never showed the process of decision and building. In TYT they showed how Pipp and Zipp left Zephyr Heights and how Izzy left Bridlewood, and how they painted, furnished and decorated Crystal Brighthouse. In MYM they already live there.

Yannick Ferrero, senior VP of digital disturbing at eOne admitted to "buying views" for YouTube based content including My Little Pony on a panel discussing coplatforming strategies with YouTube and Netflix You can watch the full panel here: https://worldscreenevents.com/festivals/making-sense-of-youtube/
>>39557393MYM seems to have much lower quality lighting and animations than ANG. I presume they did this to save money.I really liked ANG, but because of this drop in quality, I have absolutely no interest in watching MYM.
>>39602471>it must be to save money sub human IQ
>>39602471Is graphics all you watch for? I could've sympathized if you said you didn't find the stories compelling enough.
>>39551930Pipp is cute af
>>39601984Don't lie Anon or AI bot trying to garner site traffic?, 6 minutes in he says the opposite, that "views" are crap metrics because they can be bought. Maybe he contradicts himself later but I'm not watching the rest.Well, maybe they are buying views now anyway, since when fresh TYT episodes start regularly cracking 100k views? Used to take months.
>>39551793>>39551793Cool leak
>>39602566So why is the lighting and animation worse in MYM?
>>39602605To be honest, it's mainly the lower quality animations that I find jarring. The lighting is just a nice to have. But yes, I also find the general theme of MYM just weaker. But in a way, that its to be expected, its a longer series, not a film. Maybe I will watch it at some point, when I have nothing else to do. I really liked ANG though. In my mind, ANG IS G5 to me, and I like it that way.
Izzy is the only good design
>>39604201Izzy is the best design but the others are good and fit the theme of G5
>>39551810"Cullen says he was always deeply invested in telling Sunny’s story and found inspiration in the actionsof young people around the world who are making a difference in their communities. “What happens toa character like Sunny who, deep in her heart, believes that there’s something wrong with her worldand no one else believes her?” he says. “What does it take for a character like that to not just say thatthere’s something wrong, but to go out and do something about it? Greta Thunberg kept coming backto us as an inspiration because she went from being a child protesting at her school to crossing theAtlantic Ocean and addressing a room of the world’s most powerful people. To me, that was aninteresting story to tell because it is hard for people to go out and speak their truth.">Greta Thunberg>Not VogelfagONE FUCKING JOB, Cullen. YOU HAD JUST ONE FUCKING JOB AND YOU MESSED THAT UP TOO.
