  &quot;A children&apos;s story that can only be enjoyed by children is a bad children&apos;s story.&quot; - C. S. Lewis<br><br>G4 understood this. G5 did not.

  G4 is canon to g5, but g5 is not canon to g4<br>This is the only way I can accept this generation existing

  It was quite simple: being a tie-in or a continuation of G4 instead of having its own lore and universe.

  Damn. 9 years of lore and these writers couldn&apos;t be bothered to watch one episode.

  Gen 5 only failed cause of one factor: Greed. Its a common trope for big companies like Hasbro.

  In G4 they have a choice, in G5 they essentially HAVE to be nice to eachother or else they can’t have thier powers. One is motivated to be better, the other was motivated by selfishness

  Canonically, Flurryheart is the first natural-born alicorn. I&apos;ve seen apologists argue that G5&apos;s backstory isn&apos;t a retcon because &quot;technically Celestia said that an alicorn had never been born in Equestrian but the alicorn nation is older than Equestria&quot; but that doesn&apos;t work because if Celestia and Luna came from a race of natural alicorns, <b>they wouldn&apos;t have been completely and utterly clueless about how to deal with Flurry Heart</b>

  Alicorns were so rare in G4, that there were only 5 in the entire running of the show within the show (not including the comics, though they are still super rare there). That&apos;s the ENTIRE point for Tirek, one of MLP&apos;s biggest villains!! The older princesses had to hide their magic with Twilight because she was new and Tirek had no idea she existed. If there was a whole alicorn city, either Tirek would&apos;ve been way too overpowered, or they would&apos;ve just gotten their help?? They created a massive plot hole in an older, beloved show for an unimportant plot convenience.

  The biggest thing I hate about G5 is &nbsp;that they included phones and internet... It ruins the immersion of this magical world that&apos;s separate to our own...

  The moral of the story is<br>Make it with love = success!<br>Make it for greed = failure!!!!

  My opinion is that none of G5 is actually canon and is just an alt universe where everything went wrong
