Better fit as critics/general had low options of prior movie while MLP fans were 50/50 like/dislike. So 75% better fit.


* EvenBetterSequel: While the film didn't receive many professional reviews due to its low-profile Netflix launch, those it did get were generally much stronger than those of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'', highlighting a stronger narrative, improved pacing, better focus on characters, higher-quality animation, and comparative friendliness to those outside the fanbase. ''A New Generation'' also boasts higher audience scores than the 2017 film on both Website/RottenTomatoes and Website/{{IMDb}}.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: The movie along with the franchise was seen as a reaction to political polarisation as ponies are divided into three species by the time of the series. An early press release describing the as-yet-unnamed main character as an "activist" and advertising "themes of diversity and inclusion" may also have been a contributing factor.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Far too many comparisons to note within the general storyline, internal lore, character archetypes, and setting taking place sometime after the events of ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship is Magic]]'' that the movie itself feels very much like a Kid-friendly adaptation of ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestria''.

1. Someone forgot to readd a bullet point after they (probably accidentally) removed it.


{{Moe}}: All of the Mane Five count in their own way, but out of all of them Izzy seems to get the word "cute" thrown at her the most, thanks to being a GenkiGirl who tries to suppress her fear of being lonely.

* HilariousInHindsight: With his glasses, hair and muttonchop whiskers, Argyle looks a bit like Creator/IsaacAsimov. The G5 movie premiered on Netflix on the same day that ''Series/Foundation2021'' premiered on Apple TV+.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: The film uses prerendered cubemaps to create the illusion of environment reflections in its characters' eyes. However, it uses ''the same cubemap'' of Maretime Bay, creating a very noticeable mismatch during close-ups. This is especially apparent when Zipp and Pipp are confronting each other in the alleyway during their getaway. You can clearly see the low-lying buildings and blue sky.

ATT. Enough liked/saw it for other reasons it's not an example.


* JustHereForGodzilla: Viewers not sold on Generation 5 and its' divisive premise [[note]] It's technically a follow-up to ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' but set so far in the future that all the previous series' characters are dead, so the writers can have an excuse to make up whatever the hell they want and use the TimeSkip to justify it. [[/note]] probably only watched the beginning of the film to see the Mane Six for one final time.
