YO WHAT'S UP KIDS IT'S
Damario ~
And WOW
There's so much stuff that has changed since my last MLP video!
The world! People! Internet!
Youtube!
WHAT * clap * ARE * clap * YOU * clap * WANKING * clap * YOUTUBE?
Demonetization.
Strike of a video that I spent my FUCKING life on.
Shitty trends, subscriptions that doesn't work ...
So.
I'm not going to spit in the wind, we're not on Sir Gibsy's channel.
It's time to get down to business. *EN EXPLAINATION : Sir Gibsy's an alt right french youtuber who makes "reboot videos" often and it's kind of ridiculous (my opinion oc)
Good...
Well! Therefore.
Aw shit, it's true that today having a character on a plain visual background is not really topical.
Well, unless I want to say ...
SO FEMINAZIES HELICOPTER GENDER
YOU GOOD WITH YOUR NON-MIXED EVENTS?
*Damario > Left Winged*
* sigh *
But wait ...
Something's wrong here.
Quite a few old brony youtubers are leaving,
but there are plenty of new brony youtubers who have taken advantage of the absence of the past game to settle in?
Well done.
Frankly, respect.
BUT DON'T THINK YOU CAN STEAL MY VIEWS
I WAS HERE BEFORE YOU LITTLE BRA-
A few weeks ago ...
I saw a new comment.
"I miss you."
And it hurt
me ...
But I'm not making this video because I give a fuck,
far from it!
It's just that I caught up on MLP!
Wow.
You are so nice for people who don't exist.
Like I said, I took over MLP to catch up.
I was at ...
there!
Yeah I was motivated to catch up.
Even if I admit skipping a few episodes ...
What did you do?
Sorry, man, but boring consciousness characters have become way too common.
We can't to do this anymore in 2018.
But ... You can't do this to me.
Well, yes.
So yes, I skip some episodes.
But at the same time, after 7 seasons I was a bit pissed off with too classic episodes.
"Campfire Tales"?
WOW I WONDER WHAT IT 'S ABOUT
wooOOOOOW
That sounds SO INTERESTING
Wait.
"Fanfiction"?
It was cool.
Well, if I had to summarize a bit I would say that MLP has never really lost in quality in recent seasons.
I think where I started to realize that my perspective had changed over the years
was when I saw two characters a little too close to each other.
Apart from that we can clearly see that season 5 served as a break in the series.
Before that we followed mane 6! The elements of harmony and their evolution.
Then Starlight came along and started a kind of transition as the Mane 6 stalled in development.
Fluttershy is the only one to have received significant development since the beginning.
Twilight has become ball-busting, etc. etc.
But with this transition, lots of new elements like Starlight, Trixie, Maud, Sunburst, Thorax and the Pillars
are introduced to take over.
It feels like we're approaching the end of the series and that it's time for the current Mane 6 to withdraw little by little
or to renew itself.
And speaking of renewal! ...
oh that transition...
It's time to ride the hype wave that's fueling the brony community.
And damn, is it me or that term got as cancerous as my 2016 self?
Stop thinking that all men ...
Yeah shut up.
I'm talking of course about the 5th generation which will arrive by 2020.
And like EVERYONE on this platform, I decided that "I was going to give my opinion"
because I have an above average ego .
ATTENTION
From now on, I will talk about the design proposals that have leaked,
as well as the changes planned for the license.
So if you want to stay innocent of any potential spoils, you have 5 seconds to exit the video.
Ok.
Look at these DESIGNS
YEEEEEEEES
It's so BEAUTIFUL, HARMONIOUS, UNIQUE, the race change is perfect
it's so interesting AAAAAAH
There's going to be a movie to introduce the new generation?
In 3D?!
* HMMMM *
The big question is "Will it look like this?"
Or THIS!
Applejack will change personality?
SHE HAD A PERSONALITY?
WOW
Wait wait…
"They also want to lean towards more mature themes to reach a more mature audience as well."
And THAT interests me.
Everyone should know this but for the four who might not know:
The fourth generation was made with the aim of bringing children and their parents together.
It was in any case the intention of Lauren Faust, creator of G4.
Except that it woooorked ...
a little too well?
We all know why it worked.
SEX.
Oh that feels good.
I'm fine!
So to come back to what we said, the show is very well done,
and the universe and the cast are very endearing.
But I don't think I'm telling you new stuff on this one.
I remember this video that I made in 2014 which introduced the series to newcomers.
Good morning to you dear internet user!
* sigh * The fragility.
With this success affecting a more mature demographic than expected,
we felt that the studio behind the show has sought since season 4 to push the limits
of what they were able to do scriptwriting and visually speaking.
While remaining within the specifications of their distribution medium,
The Hub or today Discovery Family.
The thing is, these idiots are good!
And that they've managed to reach new heights despite the label of "youth series" which sticks to their asses.
The question posed by this G5 is then the following:
Can we go further?
You are undoubtedly aware of it, but during all these years the community has continued to use this universe
and its characters in fanfictions, music, drawings and so on.
And that's normal!
You have a universe with magic, fantastic creatures like hippogriffs or fucking dragons ...
full of different backgrounds, prophecies, a mythology and a society unique to this universe.
There is so much to tap into!
Be careful, don't make me say what I didn't say.
I really like the fourth generation, really!
I think DHX has really managed to do something special.
Whether it is the animation, the narration, the songs ...
And there is really not much that we can fault them overall in terms of production.
Moreover, we can already feel this desire to evolve on their part by watching the evolution of character designs.
Those of Mane 6, and characters from the first seasons, respond to "less is more".
A design principle that indicates that simple shapes and colors can be far more evocative
than your edgy highschool OC.
Example:
BOP, Pinkie Pie.
I don't need to tell you anything about her for you to guess that she is the happy and extravagant type.
Ditto for Twilight with its strict mane, reflecting her organized side etc etc ...
These designs have proven their worth, and they're partly responsible for the show's success!
However we can see that some newer designs are a bit more complex.
They have a different vibe, are a little less flashy.
Despite that, there are two things that have convinced me that this series can go far beyond
what it's just exploring for now.
The first is the season 5 finale.
You already know it if you've been following me for a long time, but it's in THIS double episode that I felt that the team had let go.
And honestly I think it was a way for them to test other worlds and possibilities.
In my opinion, this is what we have the closest artisticly to G5 currently.
Just look at Rainbow Dash's design which is very similar to her G5 one. *well, one of the possible designs*
This double episode shows all the artistic and scriptwriting potential that this universe holds.
The second thing that convinced me
was the movie.
But look at THAT, this animation!
It runs over my eyes like honey in a hoarse throat.
Oh my GOD, it's MAGNIFICENT, these sets, these characters, this music!
It's so different and UNIQUE AAAAAA
I don't have much to say about the movie apart from emphasizing its undeniable quality.
Like the Season 5 finale, it explores quite a few aspects of the universe just waiting to be developed.
When we know that the next generation is targeting a more mature audience and terms,
we can wonder if this isn't the opportunity to FINALLY push this universe and this series to its full potential!
I think so.
And according to the information we have, the new design proposals and the last seasons, this
is the direction that the license is taking.
Well, in my opinion.
VOILA
I have finished speaking.
I don't know how to finish a video anymore ...
how do we do it?
Ah yes!
STARLIGHT IS BEST PON-
