Talk:My Little Pony Friendship is Magic/@comment-1031724-20180801032504

Sigh... looks like the age of pony is ending.

It's one thing for the show to end. Star Wars continued to be big past Return of the Jedi, and later Revenge of the Sith when we didn't even think there would be any sequel trilogy. And it would have been wonderful to end on a good note with every last mystery wrapped up.

But, they're taking it off Netflix before Season 8 is finished, the last BronyCon is next year during the time of the show's final season, and the fandom is ever shrinking (my friend who got me into it left after Season 6). All while the show gets minimal references in other media (like there's none in The Flash, Family Guy, or MCU, though at least Deadpool 2 did one).

So, before long, this show will end up like the Tim Burton Batman series, its last remnants being people who still remember and love the show, and the DVD's that will hopefully still be available. I'd have liked it to have some noticeable legacy like Frozen, which has nothing on Seasons 1-6. I'll no longer get more people to "join the herd", and there won't be much of a herd to join soon.
