  • The fandom has died at least 3 times at this point. But it's totally fine, we're still alive and kicking. I guess when you've been in this community as long as I have, you see some crazy stuff. Leave a cool comment if you recognize all the content creators I name-dropped!

    The brony fandom is like the Phoenix of the internet, we just keep dying and reviving. I’ve been a part of the community for over a decade and it’s been fun as hell living through both the chaos and the creativity. Even if old pillars of the community leave, the foundations of the fandom are so strong that new members will always be able to join. This was a great video (although I am a little surprised you didn’t mention Derpyboorieu or anything about all of the mountains of art the community has made).

    In years we've seen many things : creators doing incredible things, memes, animation, reviews, reactions, music, arts and so much. I've seen the downside, the bad things, the horrible things that sometime people only see and then says "this fandom is only for weirdo and sick people".
    And yet, we live, we survive, we love and we hate or fandom, we leave, we return and sometime we rediscover. Sometime we simply go, and it's ok it's our choice, maybe some leave with regret, other with great memories, other will cheriss this time and other will regret the good old times.
    And yet we're still here, a flame too stubborn to die, maybe one day it will not shine at all, but I know that the memories will still be here. And if it dies, the next generation will take the flame and give her an other time of glory. Personnaly my ride will not end yet, And you can say that "pony is just for little children" but I will says "Don't care, this ride will never end" ^^

    A very splendid interpretation of the fandoms history Banquo! and you are right even though the fandom has rised and died time and time again so many Bronies became dedicated keeping it going for as long as possible. they were doing it for all those 9 years and some of them are still doing it now, people in the community may come and go but the fandom itself will never completely die.
    There will always be people out there doing their best keep both the fandom and the legacy of mlp G4 preserved and alive, while trying to make room for the future of mlp generations yet to come at the same time...for now that G4's era in the fandoms history has passed it's time for the new era of the fandom to begin.

This way, everybody will remember it as a good show, not one that got shitty until it was canceled.

    I have been in an out of the fandom since I first started watching it when I was 5 (well unofficially anyway), up until recently I thought it was a silly little kid show.. boy was I wrong. I started rewatching the series (I thought I should add that my dad was also on the briny hype train) as well as watching more pony content than ever. Heck, I’m even hosting my own MLP dnd campaign with friends who aren’t even in the fandom. Now I can say that I am unashamed to like stuff for “kids” (i mean look at bluey everyone loves that show). Now I can say with absolute confidence, I am a brony, and I’m not going anywhere. Even though I have my doubts about g5 so far I hope this fandom will always live on forever.

Maybe it could make it where the ponies and humans live among eachother like in one of the previous generations? Or it could have new characters but drawn in the same style. Or even better, it could have the new main characters be the Mane 6's children, and we get to see their lives and ect (and still see the Mane 6 ocassionaly, due to them being their parents lol.)
