So while we are in the year of My Little Pony’s 40th anniversary, which seems to have been met with success, as far as new releases go (especially with the toylines based on older generations a s finally releasing g1 prototype ponies through Basic Fun). I personally felt like there would have been more by way of generational crossovers- although we did get some g1 crossover in G5’s comics and media. It seems quite often that generations 3 and especially 2, and branched off pony lines of g1 (Takara line, Dream Beauties, pony friends, etc) are often left out of much of the Anniversary antics, more often than not.
But moving forward into the future, I got to thinking- primarily because of all the concern and backlash against Disney and how they have treated their own supposedly spectacular 100th anniversary film, Wish, which many people on the internet have been quick to pick apart and find flaws in. I wonder how Hasbro will be treating their own IP and really try to hit the mark for their own 50th anniversary with their beloved pony brand that has lasted so many generations. And while many might think that it is far too early to be discussing such a topic at this point in time, as we get older, a span of 10 years will come and go in the blink of an eye, and that moment will be upon us before we know it! So it is never early enough to get to talking and that ball rolling, and speculate on what might be done for such a significant time in the grand scheme of things for our beloved pony franchise, when it reaches the big 50! How do you guys think Hasbro will handle such a milestone?
