Things G5 does better than G4.

What, if anything, does G5 do BETTER than G4? I say a couple of things:

1) Better male characters. Let's face it: Male characters in G4 weren't well-written, at least at the start. They were either villains, one-dimensional bullies, or archetypical "dumb boy" characters. G5, OTOH, has some good male characters. You have Hitch, who is a male MAIN character, which G4 never had (Spike doesn't really count). He's portrayed as kind and mostly competent at his job as sheriff, if a bit of a himbo. You also had Argyle, who is a strong contender for Best Parent in the Entire MLP Franchise.

2) Hitch and Sparky's relationship compared to Twilight and Spike's. G4 couldn't seem to make up its mind what Twilight and Spike's relationship was. It would alternate between brother and sister, mother and son, and boss and employee. It wasn't until the FINAL SEASON that the show seemed to finally decide on brother and sister. In contrast, G5 solidly defines Hitch and Sparky's relationship from the start as parent and child.
