This points towards their involvement, not that there are many reasonable doubts about it.

So who thinks this is gonna a be a sort of bridge between the current incarnation of FIM and whatever the next one will be?
Didn't Hasbro use Transformers first movie to kill off most of the original autobots to make way for the new line?
I'm sure the Mane 6's send off will be less painful.....maybe

A transitional movie is probably not the way to do it. If they do want to totally reboot MLP, they'll probably want to change the designs to create a new toy line. That'd be easiest with a clean break -- shut FiM down and move on to a new thing, like G1/G2 to Beast Wars.

Headless Horse wrote:People in the mainstream have tended to ignore and dismiss MLP. Yes, largely because previous generations were clearly "kids' stuff" that most people didn't consider worth their time, rightly or wrongly.
Headless Horse wrote:
You're stating this as fact. Why?
Even if other shows have exhibited this tendency, why are you applying a past observed pattern as though it proves something empirically?

Fizzbuzz wrote:I have to agree with Headless Horse here. Yes, there have been changes between the beginning and now, but change in and of its own is not a bad thing. I, personally, have enjoyed the direction the show has taken since S1. I know you haven't, but that doesn't mean you have to put Meghan and the gang down as being objectively out of ideas.

Well I'm fucking sorry for ruing the damn My Little Pony movie by talking.
