I’m well aware that many seem to be accepting towards the idea of G5 being a direct continuation of G4, even if it seems highly illogical to my point of view. Mainly on the grounds of the visual and story inconsistencies it appears to have, and Hasbro’s history of contradicting itself through the media they make.

But, there’s one thing I’ve always wanted to know:

Would it be alright to classify G5 as part of either an alternate or parallel universe from FiM? In this case, a universe where events similar to FiM’s happened but doesn’t exactly share its continuity?

I would think of it as a parallel universe.

7886100
Yeah. That's how *I* prefer to think of it too. Yeah, a past very similar to many of the events of G4, but with still some differences, WOULD make a lot of sense.

7886137
Yeah. Parallel universe or divergent timeline. Either would work.

7886100
Yeah, that's how I prefer to think of it. Alternate universe sounds right to me

7886216
Me too.

Given how the existence of parallel universes has already been established in G4, yeah, I think it's alright to classify G5 as an alternate universe.
