Also I’m seeing a lot of what I was afraid I would see (though completely expected) now that G5 is started - attempts to drag the convoluted and overly complex lore of G4, which ended two years ago, into a new generation; I know it’s the same world technically but I figure a not-insignificant chunk of the fandom is gonna spend all of G5 complaining about what no-longer-relevant stuff from G4 should or should not be dragged into a new generation instead of enjoying it as is. To each their own I guess, if that’s what makes em happy.
Yeah there are some significant similarities between G4 and G5. Hopefully the fact that G5 exists in same world won’t stifle creativity. Personally I would have been fine if G5 was something completely different, but so far it seems that it ended up being a sort of a tribute to its predecessor, which is also fine. But if there are some inconsistencies here or there down the road, I’m not going to complain.
