Hasbro! MLP G4 Must Continue; NO MLP G5!, otherwise known simply as the My Little Pony Protests, is Chris's attempts to use Twitter and a video to convince Hasbro, a multinational toy company and the owners of the My Little Pony franchise, to continue producing five more seasons of the cartoon series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and to cancel the spin-off series Pony Life by informing them that his imaginary friends from the MLP dimension said they should do so. At BronyCon 2019, Chris also informed Nicole Oliver, the voice of pony character Princess Celestia, that "The Retirement is Not In.[1]"
On 21 June 2020, Chris watched the first episode of Pony Life and hated it.[2]
Background
Friendship is Magic, the fourth generation, or G4, of My Little Pony, ran for nine years, from 10 October 2010 to 12 October 2019, and is slated to be replaced with a fifth generation set to premiere in 2021. As the G4 incarnation is one of his favorite shows, Chris was unwilling to face the fact that it was ending, instead retreating to his delusions and "foreseeing" that the show would instead continue with a plot he imagined up.
Chris is probably just disheartened about rumors[3] he's heard about the new G5 incarnation switching up the designs of some characters. Remember, Chris believes cartoons are real. So to him, any story changes would mean real-world consequences for beings he believe to exist in other realities; and the discontinuation of a cartoon series would result in the perpetual stagnation of its world, or possibly its demise.
Messages to Hasbro
Video
On 13 August 2018, Chris uploaded a video addressed to Hasbro and the people of Earth 1218, stating that he has divined the future, and is highly concerned about how Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie could have different features in G5. He says his fears have been confirmed by conversing with fictional pony Princess Celestia, and urges Hasbro to cancel G5 and instead produce more G4.

Description
Heed Our Warning, Hasbro! Applejack MUST become an Alicorn Princess, and Twilight must NEVER become an Earth Pony!
Transcript
Hey there everybody this is Christine Chandler coming to you live from home once again. People of Earth 1218 heed my warning! Spoiler alert, I have seen the future and I had to prevent it!
Princess Twilight Sparkle was about to upgrade Applejack to alicorn status by-c-by order of Princess Celestia. Because a-Applejack is gonna come upon her own magic in a few days. But it backfires and instead of Applejack becoming alicorn, period, Twilight's Wings get put onto Pinkie Pie and Twilight's horn gets onto Fluttershy and it's just no GOOOOOOD, and that's how we end up with that FRICKIN' G5!
We must prevent this! This is not gonna work out and I have foreseen this. This is very, very bad. So I had just confirmed with Twilight and Princess Celestia as well and... Celestia and I are in agreement as she has seen the future as well... We must prevent this G5 mistake from ever happening. And yes, G4 will continue... Applejack is the next alicorn princess and she must become that without flaw. And so Celestia will take it upon herself to... upgrade Applejack as well.
But anyway. Heed my word, Hasbro! And everybody on the MLP show! Generation 5 must NEVER HAPPEN! And G4 must have at least 5 more seasons. And Applejack will become an Alicorn princess...
Heed this! Heed our warning! This is an official command from your CPU Blue Heart in agreement with Princess Celestia of Equestria all of which in our sister dimension.
[nods, pauses]
Thank you.
Tweets
Prior to making the video, Chris began his rant on Twitter:
| Everyone of Earth 1218! I have an announcement!
I have seen a future that we must prevent: My Little Pony Generation Five. Spoiler Alert: Princess Twilight Sparkle was prompted to promote Applejack to become an Alicorn Princess, but in doing so, the spell backfires and then we end up with... THIS! Twilight becoming an Earth Pony (SIMPLY UNFORGIVABLE!), and the horns and wings being lost and swapped between Twilight, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. I just did a reset to prevent that from happening. Celestia will take it upon herself to promote Applejack, because she Will be doing something that brings the magic out of her, like it did Cadence and Twilight. AJ’s Promotion needs to happen; she becomes the next Alicorn Princess by Celestia’s Power; Twilight and the others remain as they are, and G4 continues on. Generation Five Must Not Happen! Listen up, @Hasbro and @HasbroNews , because I HAVE The Power and Link to our Sister Dimension, and I have seen it too. #ContinueMLPG4! CONTINUE My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic for at least Five More Seasons, @Hasbro and @HasbroNews ! Our Matching Futures are at Stake Here! I, your CPU Blue Heart Commands it so as well, in agreement with Princess Celestia. Please, Heed Our Warning! Thank You. |
A fan asked:
| What allows you to enter into these sister dimensions? And can you only enter them? |
Chris answered:
| Psychic Links. Everyone in this world has at minimum a .01% Power that links y’all, respectively, with at least your counterpart in our sister dimension; the Power is stronger in artists, authors and creators. But mine is Stonger amongst the Very Few of us here. |
A fan said:
| 1st. Remember hwo you don't wanna reboot Sonichu? This is a reboot, not a sequel 2nd. Why 5 seasons? there's already been a lot. and no show with inifnite seasons ever gets good after the first 3-5 ones |
Chris answered:
| You do not understand our sister dimension, as well as the inhabitants that occupy it and thereabouts. Reboots HURT the original very bad. Reboots stunts Growth of the Original.
And why at least five seasons? Because there is not only a lot more to Equestria than meets the eye, and, the rest of the Mane Six are destined to join Princess Twilight and the soon-to-be Princess of Honesty, Applejack, as Alicorns, themselves during that time frame. Their Stories MUST be told and continued. The Reboot will ONLY just Kill the timeline of ours that will simply stifle the originals’ growth, as well as throw Both of or dimensions into a chaos that must never ever take place, @Hasbro. |
When a brony called Chris out on being a sourpuss over his protests, Chris shot back:
| Don’t hate on reasons that are Direct and Simple that you are unable to freaking understand. We are Protesting to show that not only is Celestia and Luna actually taking with everyone at @Hasbro
, For Freaking Real and Serious, but that MLPFiM G4 is Fated and Destined to Continue On for Five More Seasons, and that it is Freaking too soon for G5. |
Chris's vision of G4 continuation
Using his homemade TSSSF cards, Chris posted to Twitter his vision of how the G4 story should go, tagging Hasbro and hash-tagging the various voice actresses on the show.[4]
Boycott
The finale for the G4 incarnation aired on 12 October 2019. Chris couldn't bear to view it.
| I will also comment that I have not at all yet watched the Season 9 three-part finale at all (the mild spoiler imagery is not helpful) until after Season 10 of Gen4 #MLPFiM is aired on Discovery Family in 2020, and proper full announcements have been made in this dimension by @Hasbro and the people therein of the show. I eagerly await hearing this confirmation from the News Sources. Princess Celestia Has commanded you all before as well of this. And as I have informed #NicoleOliver, The Retirement is Not In. ⚡️💙⚡️ |
Hasbro has plans to continue the G4 storyline in the form of comics to be published by IDW. However, this was unacceptable to Chris, who demanded full animated episodes and nothing less, stating that to go the comics route would be an "insult."
| Dear @Hasbro, #MLPFiM G4 Needs to have its Seasons 10 to 14 Animated in Chronicling; Not Just Comic Books. This is Celestia, Luna, and Princess Twilight’s Command, as well as the Command of all of the Deities between both dimensions.
To leave it as simply @IDWPublishing comics is very much an insult. G5 must Not Air At All until After #MLPSeason14 on Television and Published Videos, @Hasbro. #HeedOurWords⚡️💙⚡️ 💜⚡️ |
Protest against G4.5 promo
On 13 November 2019, Hasbro, having ignored Chris's previous warnings, premiered a promo video of a spin-off of the G4 cartoon, titled Pony Life, regarded by fans as a transition series between G4 and G5. An upset Chris took to Twitter and spammed Hasbro, along with users showing any kind of interest in the show, with repeated complaints.
| And this is another reason why G5 gets delayed until 2025, and we get #MLPFiMSeason14 before then, with Seasons 10 to 13 before then. I Know you can hear us, and that you read these, @Hasbro. Celestia Has Talked With You All. Don’t be Corporate Greeds. ⚡️💙⚡️ |
| NO. We need #MLPFiMSeason10to14. #G5DelayedUntil2025
@Hasbro |
In his complaints, Chris compared the G4.5 series to Teen Titans Go!, a cartoon he dislikes and has described as "slap dash" and just "random jokes and gags":[5]
| NO. #MLPFiMSeason10to14 is what we need; Not this GO! Crap. |
Chris stated that the canon of Pony Life coincides with that of Teen Titans Go!, solely due to both of them having similar art styles:
| Actually, it is literally linked in the same Dimension as Teen Titans GO, and they are ALL Jerkish. This #GOPony show is simply Not Good At All. It needs to remain OFF THE AIR, Period. |
In protest, Chris created TSSSF cards depicting a picket line at Hasbro's corporate headquarters of characters from G4's Friendship is Magic and pony OCs Night Star and Kun T'Nyuget, and Chris's CPU Blue Heart form arguing against Hasbro's executives.
| “ | Hey, @Hasbro. We are All Protesting to kill #GOPony, because that is Not what we all want; we want #MLPFiMSeasons10to14. So, Listen Up. | ” |

Reaction to series premiere
On 21 June 2020, the first episode premiered. Chris hated it and posted a selfie of him with a cartoonish frown on his face to express his displeasure, calling it "Epic Garbage" and "DEITY-LEVEL AWFUL".[2]
