G4 vs G5 Opinions

I was a "brony". I was totally into G4 and loved it. I helped with the starting of Bronycon, one of the first MLP conventions. Was in the thick of it all and it was a wild, fun ride.

I gave G5 a chance. I really did. I just couldn't get into it. It's hard to describe, but G4 felt like it had genuine passion and love in its production, and it really showed. G5 lacks this; it feels kind of cold and sterile, like the heart has been taken away. The first movie was probably the best of the G5 content and then it sorta want downhill from there.

I still love MLP but will always consider myself a G4 fan. The existence of G5 doesn't affect G4. I think the right people just came together for the production of G4 (especially Lauren Faust) and it was a masterpiece, and this didn't happen with G5. Hasbro should have continued and evolved G4 rather than wipe the slate clean.

The movie was alright, but the series was outsourced to Atomic Cartoon and the quality drop really shows. I like the characters well enough but G5 as a whole feels like it exists solely to help sell their toys and merch, rather than trying to be a good show on its own like G4 was.

I feel like the 2D animated series is better than the 3D series but not by much. It's still cute for what it is.

Though G5 tries to be a sequel in some regards to G4 and has plenty of references, it just doesn't hit the mark.

I'll always love G4 though.

From what I’ve heard and seen (watching along with my daughter), it’s not great. Not terrible or unwatchable, just kind of..there.

You’re usually aware you’re watching a toy commercial as the stories are not all that compelling or interesting. The characters are fun (mostly), but the scripts are usually phoned in, everything is predictable..any of the magic of G4 is long gone, which is unfortunate.

The g4 was realy diferent . With a lots of second reading . The 5 is just for sell toys .
