Don't forget how Pinkie Pride showed a lot of her inner side as well. She actually inspired others to go out and make others happy...

Yeah, I would say that Pinkie is a comic relief character in the sense that she's the silliest and quirkiest of the bunch - which lends itself to comedy.

But the show has (and continues to) show her as a well-developed character too. She's not just wacky for the sake of a few cheap laughs. She genuinely enjoys bringing joy and smiles to people. And that's wonderful! Pinkie Pie is wonderful! :party:

Now that it is mentioned, that I would like to see is just more overall cute innocent adorable moments. Sure, tense and drama is good, but I also want more sugar coated goodness in my ponies as well...

When has MLP really been tense and drama at all? Sure it is a different tone at times, but I never thought it was edge of your seat tense.

Yeah, you're right. I mean it kinda feels like they lost some cute and replaced it with I donno dialog... in a way. Either way I still want more cute. :-P

I know it's hard to remember the feeling of :ponydrugs: when we're mired in what looks to be at least three more months of ponyless summer autumn and winter, but it's definitely still there. Once S5 begins I'm sure that feeling will come back once more.

Happy 4th birthday Hub and MLP:FIM. I think I first heard about the show around the time Sonic Rainboom came out. I actually joined and became a fan of the show around the time of Party of One and it coming out. I think I was in one of the old synchtubes and was one of the guests. I think I came up with my username just before Season 2 started. I think what got me into the fan base was some of the Fan music. Then some PMVs and Fan animations. I eventually found myself on this forum August of 2013. Mainly because there was so many people that I enjoyed their work like Haller and Issak. I also enjoyed the community and people here when I was lurking the forums. Thought I could relate to them. In any case I am happy to be apart of this community.

I got on board at around the time Season 2 was starting. But I've always thought it would be cool to have been on the pony train from the beginning.

I started watching just in time to catch A Canterlot Wedding a day or two after it aired (mid 2012-ish?). It's been a fun two years, here's to at least a few more.

They rode the hub harder than that horse got ridden in True Grit, you know when it was panting and wheezing and just eventually died under John Wayne? That was basically the hub.

And just like True Grit, after a bit of mourning out of tradition, ponies will move on without much problem.

Wait ponies riding a horse to death, I think I lost the train somewhere.

That doesn't really make sense? Pony isn't a Primetime show anyway and Hasbro content will still be airing in mornings to afternoon when kids would be watching TV, even after the change we know pony Will still air on Saturday morning. So they can't push it out of timeslots it never really had to begin with.

No need for paranoia like that. :v:

Also again take into account pony is the only toon on the DF promo they show like every commercial break.

I think the opposite is more likely to happen; that they'll promote MLP as much as possible as it's probably going to be their main breadwinner at this point.

No, it may not be a prime time slot, but it is a 10 am cartoon on a saturday. I mean, just look at everything else they got rid of.

What does the second point have to do with anything? So is every other show. They're showing off for commercials.

Cept they have gone out of their way to state they are keeping pony and even *for some reason* make a big deal about how they still have exclusive broadcast rights to pony content in the states. I don't see why you insist on spreading so much negativity & paranoia about the series future. If you want it to end just say so.



As for me, As I said in a oter thread, worrying about what ifs doesn't do anyone any good, so I'm just gonna enjoy my cartoon pony show. :v:

Nearly all the rest of the shows that appear in the Discovery Family promos are shows from other Discovery networks. (Maybe one or two of Hasbro's live-action shows appeared in there as well. If they did, they didn't really stand out to me.) None of the other cartoons currently airing on the Hub were featured there. While that doesn't mean anything concrete about the future, to me it still gave the feeling that FiM is one of the most important shows that will be on Discovery Family.

Exactly. At this point, they KNOW MLP is the biggest thing on their network so naturally, they're going to try to get every single cent out of it as possible for their rating.

Just a side point, this is the same fandom that sent death threats for announcing they will change one of the characters. Can you imagine how they will react when they hear the show will be cancelled? I think they might keep it running out of fear for their safety. :-I

Nah, there's no way it'll be that bad. The end of FiM is nowhere near as bad to them as something like Derpy having her voice redubbed or Ted Anderson supporting a feminist.

I think it's also important to note, Pony isn't just popular with nerdy adult men and women but the actual intended demo of kids & Tweens as well. Also it's not like say Power Rangers or Transformers where even kids are used to it changing up every 2-3 years. Th intended Demo & parents alike are accustomed to this version of pony, kids love these versions of these characters, Hasbro knows this, they aren't stupid, that's why EQG used human doubles of the Mane Six instead or making them all new characters like Sunset.

I think Hasbro will take a different approach with pony then they have in previous gens, heck one could argue they already have been.

I also know Discovery, while very flawed, aren't complete idiots. They know pony is their biggest property, even if they don't advertisie it as much anymore. They will most likely keep it on and in a decent time slot as long as they can.
