Anyways with all that goes on the fandom I could imagine people getting burned out on pony like I did when Derpygate was going on but getting bored? I don't think so. I will eagerly await season 3 to see what Studio B has in store for us. I just hope that the inevitable influx of fans learn to behave, as well as the people of the fanbase not do something incredibly stupid.

A lot of kids shows have had jokes that were a little risque but went over kids heads. Did you watch any kids shows in the 90s? Case in point.

Should the show end on its 3rd season while its ahead, or should it keep on trucking a la Simpsons?

There is no correlation between sex and violence in the media, and childhood problems.

If it is actually 13 episodes that means they could be going to a 2-11 minute episode format for the season like many cartoons do so it would still technically be 26 episodes.

I'm just curious about if the show will try new things that don't diverge from it's original premise. I don't think new Simpsons is much like old Simpsons.

Hasbro does that a lot etc7. After their shows run for a few seasons, they start to only issue half the season to gauge the market. They want to make sure the show will still sell. They did it with Transformers several times.

This isn't even exclusive to Hasbro. Companies do it all the time, its a form of testing the market. It also drums up hype since people will invest more to make sure the IP the like stays.

I'm already disliked here and I'm going to be more after saying this

I already predicted this back a couple months ago. The fandom will falter after this season is over. Going from tens of thousands to just thousands.

Also, if the 13 episodes is true, and in fact that will be the last season of G4, good riddance. I'm getting bored of G4. Not as exciting as G1 was. G4 was good through season one but most of season two is blah. Time for a change. Only good now are the references and animation style. Personality and songs are great too. But the stories now suck as with the adventures. Which leads me to loose interest.

MY perfect outcome is that they continue to do slice-of-life eps where nothing really ever changes. They just continually elaborate on ponies. They can develop relationships etc, but I don't want anyone to grow up and go away. Sort of like a utopia. Conflicts arise every so often and are dealt with after an adventure, etc etc.

I think fandom burnout is a bigger cause of defectors than the quality show itself. This fanbase can be overwhelming, disturbing and quite frankly just annoying at times. There were moments where I'd read a particular fanfic or seen a particular pic or meme, raged, and deleted all the pony sites from my favorites.

I've gotten over that bump and now have reached a greater appreciation of the show itself. Everything in moderation.

Would be cool if they ended on a "pass the torch" like ep. The Mane 6 passing the adventures off to a new generation rather then just starting g5 out of the fucking blue.

one of the cmc gets a cutie mark we're...so proud of you
cmc continues to not get cutie marks
mane 6 with friends other than mane 6
rd gets into wonderbolts, rejects it to stay with friends
other characters get chances to make it big, reject it
more zebra discrimination
other animals deal with mane 6 interference

3455 now that you mention that, i've always wanted them to elaborate on that time. In my head cannon, that play is just a glazed over version for the foals, kinda like how we skim down history into myth. And the reality was a massive war between the 3 breeds over the new land that ended with them battling the wendigos and establishing Equestria.

If the CMC ever do get their cutie marks, that pretty much ends a major story source so they are going to postpone that as much as possible I'm sure.

Scootaloo learning to fly would be good especially if she still doesn't get her mark and realizes that her special talent must be on the ground.

Lol look at all your bronies shitting your pants over the thought of MLP ending, silly bronies don't you know what makes the world turn? The likelihood of Hasbro ending MLP is low. Shows like MLP are Hasbros bread and butter, Hasbro hired lauren faust to revision MLP, to make it marketable again, to create a product that appealed to their target audience, little girls.

Instead they got a product that surpassed their wildest dreams, a gold mine that was so universally appealing, that it spawned a thriving, totally devoted subculture filled with people that where never their intended market, not everyone may say that they like MLP, but everyone knows about it. That's power.

For a company like Hasbro, something like this is insanely valuable, capable of generating them tremendous revenue and publicity. Purely from a business point of view, purely from greed its unthinkable to not continue this for as long as there is a growing, self-sustaining market to sell to. And if theres one thing you can rely a corporation to act on, its greed.

If MLP did end after 3-4 seasons, it would be a sign of respect, that they didn't milk it for every last desperate dollar, and some things deserve a respectable end rather than a lingering death.

When the last Brony is extinct, who will mourn our passing? Will Lauren? Will anyone?

Can anyone understand our joy, our friendship?

------------------------------

In any case, the Community only became stronger in the break between S1 and S2, and I predict the same to happen now.

Also, the show will never die. Have you seen the animated entry for the "ask the crusaders"? Even if Hasbro stops, we won't. We, the community, have the capacity to continue to breathe life into Friendship is Magic, forever.

I wouldn't necessarily want it to get more adult, but a little more continuity and progress forward would be good, maybe a few multi-parters styled as epic quests. Like Adventure Time, which started out as just silly people doing silly stuff but gradually evolved a coherent continuity without losing its spirit. Some darker villains (Don't get me wrong, Discord was great, but we need someone with a specific, long term goal) or maybe bring all the old villains into a team.

I think you're reaching, and then I think you're right.

The show was still fresh to the Web in Season 1. Many people didn't give FiM a try until the summer, probably because they didn't have as much to do. However, after the summer, the amount of people saying they started watching the show decreased.

Succinctly, it's a normal curve of new viewers. It hit its peak in Summer 2011. But most people in geeky Web-culture already know about the show, when the summer rolls around, they won't look to FiM again if they've already tried it and didn't like it. The difference in circumstance between S1/S2 and S2/S3 is significant.

(I'm going from survey data of about 4,000 people, by the way. It's mostly from EqD, which is a different population from Ponibooru, but I'm willing to bet that the peak here in terms of getting into the show was in Summer 2011 as well.)

As for the show never dying, I think there is a point to that. I don't think the fandom is going to die out over the summer. People will keep getting bored, but some will come back, a small percentage of new viewers will come on, but I think a majority of current viewers will wait on the Season 3 premiere.

tl;dr: I don't think the fandom will die, but I think it will cease to grow as much as it once did.

I think the only way for the fandom to continue to rise in number is for people in the mainstream (i.e., people who use the Internet only for email, Facebook, and school/work and not for 4chan, gaming boards, and Web geek stuff) to gain interest.

That's what I've interested in seeing. People who spend hours and hours on the Internet for fun are entirely different from those who do not. We're way more likely to be asexual. We're way less likely to use social networking sites. We're way more likely to be male. We're way more likely to be uninterested in sports.

The mainstream may respond in an entirely different way than we did. I don't even know if some people know about Minecraft or Skyrim.

jeez you're like a terrible troll who blew his cover a long time ago, and apparently now. since you're so hated. you're just like "guys guys! i know... but i'm right... cause i say i'm right, i hope i'm right. i dont' care about other people's feelings about this show, only mine matter" WHO CARES IF YOU'RE BORED OF THE SHOW.

Also, If anything... I don't think i'll ever forget this show... not because of the "it changed my life" reason.

but because ever since i discovered the show, i've had fun watching it. and hell... having fun is what life is all about. So technically. This show- is a perfect example of Life itself. continously growing, a fun ride... that you hope never ends. but don't worry about when it's going to end. you just worry about how much fun you're having. and honestly. I'm having alot of fun... I'm just hoping the fun never ends right now. not WHEN it ends.
