This'd mainly rely on G5's cartoon having some big, epic story to tell in the first place. Considering how successful FiM's way of storytelling has been, I doubt that'll really get changed much in G5. In fact, something that held S4 back a bit was the fact that Meghan and the gang could not be assured that all 26 episodes would air in the order that they wanted, so unless Hasbro can wring that concession out of whatever network airs G5's cartoon, I doubt the people making that show will want to take the risk of having it ruined by pointless schedule changes.AppleCobbler44 wrote:Something i'd be interested in seeing with G5 is if it starts without a beginning. At least, not a proper one in the traditional sense.
Kinda like 'in media res'. The story starts more or less right in the 'middle' and over the course of the book, movie, game, or series, we learn more about the characters and overall plot. Their personality, past, goals, strengths, weaknesses.

He wasn't very active in conventions the last few years (this year is quite a change), and he's not getting any younger, so I always gotta wonder how much longer he's gonna do this.
