Yeah you're right. I mean, for me it's more of a possibly interesting passtime/morbid curiosity, but with all the studying it probably ain't worth unless it was a positive experience.  

Also, did catch the trailer till today. Yeah, not helping at all... I mean they all have hints of what looks like one of my fears would be LOL'Random! behavior. Celestia's brief moment already leaves me with dark images of how I could see her in this. I know they say not to judge and we won't truly know but all indications up to this point say: CONTEMPORARY CHILDRENS PPROGRAMING!. The best we can hope for is a few interesting episodes/concepts but I'm skeptical interesting will be necessarily entertaining. /comfy/ may be attainable but in my mind that would require  some slower placed moments and a homey feel that I honestly wouldn't have much  hope of them thinking for.

Yes. To be honest, this as a stopgap messure probably wouldn't bug me on it's own but the fact that it, and Rainbow Roadtrip, could signal a very sanitized and marketing driven direction is what makes me feel anything other than seeing this little show in a vacuum of weirdness. Even then, that doesn't take G4 away but does make me worried if we became pawns in some sort of: "racist male bronies killed the new show" narrative that companies are all too found of adopting as a scapegoat for failure.  TBH, I think Hasbro is too conflict adverse to do that but it's something that has happened so many times across a variety of organizations that I would never completely discount the possibility.
