Okay, now I understand that, haha. Honestly, having MyM be more easily accessible would be a very good thing, in my honest opinion. I would love it if somehow Netflix could work out a distribution agreement with Hasbro to allow past seasons of MyM to go to some of those free ad-supported streamers. Especially since Netflix doesn’t operate an AVOD service of their own.

In regards to point one, I realize I should have been more specific - when I said streaming services, I exclusively had the ad-supported streaming services in mind from the beginning.

Naturally I am not going to respond to every single topic in this way-too-long comment, but I will respond to a few topics:

So if you knew that there was ZERO chances of MyM or TyT ending up on other streaming platforms, then why in your previous comment did you say,‘I do admit, I’m having fun speculating in my head on which channels (and streaming services) MYM and TYT might end up syndicated on’? Sounds to me like there was no room for speculation on the streaming front (and frankly I was mostly talking about linear TV broadcasting, rather than streaming).
I think it would be interesting if Hasbro was able to negotiate an agreement to get MyM on a ad-supported free streaming platform. Right now Netflix is insanely expensive for a lot of people, limiting the market for Make your Mark (and increasing the risk of piracy). Putting it on a free streaming service would increase its accessibility for people with limited incomes.
The reason I brought up Cartoon Network was precisely because of that existing agreement with Warmer Bros. Discovery that Hasbro has. I am saying that WBD may choose to shut down Discovery Family. If that was the case, Hasbro could try to get some of those shows moved over to another channel like Cartoon Network that WBD owns. That or they could negotiate a deal with other channel operators.
Glad I am not the only one that wished MyM was longer. I am very concerned that G5 will have a fraction of the characters, locations, and episodes that FiM had. Currently the character lineup is very small, there are only three central locations (and of those three only two are shown with any consistency), and the episode list is incredibly short. Now, in all fairness I think part of the issue is the cost of animation, as well as Netflix wanting to have their shows be released as a single unit instead of giving it a weekly release. But it would be nice to see Hasbro give that series more love and attention. Currently I still mostly watch G4 Friendship is Magic when I watch MLP content at all, due to the enormous number of episodes that were released throught that series’s run.

Yeah, G2 only lasted for 2 years(!) in North America, though it did see a bit more success in Europe, going an additional 3 years there.

Eh, I doubt MYM or ANG would go to competing SVOD services (since that’s the space Netflix competes in) - I have no way of knowing this, but I bet there’s a stipulation in the contracts to be marked as “Netflix Originals”, that Netflix is the only SVOD service they can be on.

Well, I should say, I see absolutely zero chance for MYM - for ANG, maybe it also ends up on Paramount+, considering Paramount was the distributor attached when it was going to have a full theatrical release. It could be why the 2017 movie ended up on Netflix after being on Paramount+, also. But far more likely is that’s just a coincidence, and there’s no chance of that happening.

And then TYT, it would make no sense to release on those services, since it’s available for free, in its entirety, on YouTube; it only makes sense on Netflix because then all the G5 animated content is available in one place.

I was thinking AVOD services, such as Tubi, or FAST services, such as Pluto TV (well, technically now they’re AVOD/FAST and FAST/AVOD respectively, but that’s not super relevant here, so I digress) - services which are free to watch, you just have to also watch ads.

Also, as for the linear channels, I wonder if they’ll leverage their pre-existing relationship with Discovery Family (as last I heard, DF was still airing FiM as well as Pony Life) to get placement there, as well as the fact that now Discovery Family and Cartoon Network are under the same corporate umbrella, so perhaps try to get it on both?

Yeah, I can understand that, but at least for me, it’s tempered by the fact that I’ve enjoyed what we’ve gotten so far (especially ANG and MYM Ch 4)

Pretty sure last time Cartoon Network had a hasbro show. They barely advertised it and played it super early in the day.
Pretty much the only time i watched fim on tv was when the uk played an episode early
@Eragor14
Generations refer to the toy lines not the show. G2 didn’t have a show

I think it would be pretty neat if the Make your Mark series got added to other streaming services myself. Netflix is getting quite expensive as of late (they currently raised the prices and dropped the $10 ad-free membership) so it would be nice to have other ways of watching those older seasons. Maybe Paramount Plus here in the US? Or possibly a service like Hulu or Disney+?

Also, I honestly don’t mind G5. The biggest issue I have with it right now is there just isn’t enough content compared to G4. I mean, remember: G4 had 25 episode seasons. That means there was always a ton of content to look forward to. G5 just feels….empty in comparison. And I doubt I am the only one that feels that way. I kind of wish Hasbro could bring back the 25 episode seasons, like we had in FiM. Or at the very least extend the current seasons to 12 episodes, since 6 episodes feels way too short.

No, I get that; I’m just doing the same (calling it like I see it)

I do admit, I’m having fun speculating in my head on which channels (and streaming services) MYM and TYT might end up syndicated on.

@Shady Mist
Well, it doesn’t feel like a true new generation, either.

G5 can’t be reclassified as G4.5, because that’s what “Pony Life” is.

I wouldn’t say that is all that difficult to do, though. Yes, I know Discovery Family hasn’t left the US, and for that reason it is possible Hasbro could have switched networks if they wanted to release G5 on broadcast television (Cartoon Network might be a good option, especially since they have a few sister channels outside the US that would make syndication a bit easier).

I wouldn’t say discovery family would have been better as it still hasn’t left the us.
Fim Had to be licensed to so many different channels

I had a feeling you’d show up. But yeah, putting it on regular TV channels would be their best bet for MYM to gain more traction. I feel bad for G5. It started with a grand movie and after that, a lot of things just went… problematic. G5 is trying it’s best tbh. I understand you love G5 to death, but this is just how I see it how it’s been so far.

MYM just hasn’t been renewed (that we know of), it’s possible for that to change in the future, especially since MYM was actually pretty close to TYT in terms of success, and that was mostly when MYM was on that lengthy hiatus between Chapters 3 & 4.

I suppose we’ll see what happens when Hasbro syndicates both TYT and MYM to linear TV as well as AVOD/FAST streaming services in 2024.

And even if MYM does end after the initial order, I’m confident it will have told a cohesive, mostly self-contained story, since that’s what it’s shown so far.

Yeah, in hindsight I think giving it that Netflix exclusivity doomed it. Ironically I think it would have fared better if it were a Discovery Family series much like FiM was. Then again, the future of Discovery Family as a channel is also very much up in the air following the Warner Bros-Discovery merger. So chances are, that wouldn’t have been a viable option, either.

Tell your Tale ended up being more successful due to the method in which it was released. Make your Mark required a paid Netflix subscription to watch, something that is becoming increasingly expensive and hard for people to get. Meanwhile, Tell your Tale is completely free-you don’t even need a YouTube membership to watch it. As such, it is much more accessible to a lot more people, and as such it will naturally have higher viewership.

Hopefully Make your Mark will have new life somewhere, but as of right now we shall see.

Tell Your Tale (the side show) will continue on in 2024 because Hasbro said it was the more successful show. Nothing has been said of Make Your Mark’s (the main show) future. The Netflix exclusivity being the main problem for it.

Many fans are saying it’s not ending, but for me, I’m not really sure. On one hand they could bring it back, but on the other, that wouldn’t reverse the few issues it had during its run.

Wait, really?

If that were the case, that would make G5 the shortest generation in MLP history, beating out G2 (which was also really short). It also would mean G5 could be reclassified as ‘G4.5’, and a true G5 (which would be a full reboot) would come later. That, or the next generation would be named G6.
