    My predictions for the songs

    in My Little Pony: The Movie (2017)

    There are a total of 7 according to Daniel Ingram, so based off prior knowledge and what makes sense, here's what I think will be in the film:

    -A Twilight and Spike duet (already confirmed)

    -A Skystar song that is upbeat (listen to Wicked's "Popular" and you'll know what I'm talking about). Probably lines from Nova too.

    -A serious Tempest Shadow song dealing with her past (Emily Blunt-duh).

    -A humurous Capper song (based off his character and Taye Diggs' singing ability)

    -A Sia montage song

    -A Mane 6 song, possibly with new characters as support

    -A villain song but here's the thing: Liev Schrieber is not known for his singing. This is a wild card TBH.

    in Season 7 Discussion

    The episode was mediocre. I liked some of the jokes and the Disney/Justin Bieber parodies, but the whole prospect of Big Mac having his "first crush" and needing fucking 10 year olds to help him is downright cringy. Also the song sequence was a classic example of filler, something that MLP rarely resorts to.

    Lolita isn't cosplay, fyi

    It's weird and will make parents call the police. No costumes at all.

    The people crying out that cosplay is the worst and will ruin the movie and literally cause the end of the world are the ones who make me want to arrive in a brand-spanking-new fursuit. Alas, I'm not exactly swimming in money, so I will settle for my Rainbow Dash bling.

    Actually it will because parents will warn that there are a bunch of  creepy people (not my words) at the theater.

    It depends on the quality of it, and its advertising honestly.
    They've yet to release a trailer, and they need to get BOTH their adult audience and child audience on board to make this thing as big as it can be. For example, look at the powerpuff girls movie. TERRIBLE advertising, and a complete lack of how to market it lead to it flopping. They need to make sure to have ad campaigns aimed at hitting BOTH adults and kids, like how lego batman had a nice middle ground meant to pull in adult fans of the lego movie and kids wanting batman.

     

     

    If they play their cards right they can get this thing to succeed on NAME ALONE. On the other hand, even if its good, if they fail at advertising, it'll be an uphill battle. You need to get bronies fired up for this, get that S1 flair going on, make them feel this is both a return to the greatness that brought many in for S1/s2 of Mane six awesomeness that celebrates ALL of them (assuaging fears of them being upstaged by the new VA characters), and also play up this as being even more awesome than twilight's kingdom for fans of action.

    Bronies are not the main part of it. They need to get families in too. Kids films are automatic cash cows if the marketing is right.

    Is this movie really such a big deal?

    You know, we're just a secondary audience. Hasbro's real money will be coming from the young children and their parents. It wouldn't matter if every brony ceased to exist right now, if every kid who ever liked MLP went to go see it (which is a lot, trust me) they'd make back their budget times 2. We're only along for the ride, we aren't the drivers.

    Not to mention the word of mouth it could recieve, especially for being a musical.

    He's talking about when Youtube channels like Machinima were covering pony stuff along with their CoD Black Ops Zombie videos, for example. There was a time when being a brony was considered "cool/ edgy" by the mainstream crowd. It was novel at the time and you had countless dudes in their late teens donning ponies as a badge of hipster cred.

    Season 2 was clearly targeting these individuals which is why I think it turned out so bad (imo ofc). All aspects of the show have improved since then with the exception of Pinkie's flanderization. It is very uplifting to see the guys at Studio B/ DHX learning from their mistakes =^-^=

    But yes, the fandom is definitely not as large as it once was. Is this a bad thing? No fucking way! :P

    He's whining that nobody likes MLP anymore and everything is cringe and more fear mongering crap like that, not that it's not as big as before.

    Im looking at it as a film for the hardcore fans and the casual bronys when they are bored.

    I've said it before and still think its a bit late in the game to make a legit full length movie that we were expecting. I mean 7 years after its release is a pretty dang good amount of time after after what seems like alot of the original fans leaving for other fandoms. Cant blame them. You can only take the same show formula, cons, fandom drama and cringe before you seek greener pastures.

    If it can make Equestria great again I would be all for that. I dont necessarily predict it but would still be up for it.

    Literally none of what you said is true. Yeah some left but "a lot" is a hailrious claim that has no backup.

    I pretty much agree with you here.

    I think its pretty late in the game to make the official canon MLP movie for the fans. The show is already 7 years old and a large amount of the original bronys have already left this fandom for others. Being a brony used to be a sort of "in" thing but now has dated and become fringe with the obvious drama, cringe and passage of time. Even if this was released in the first 3 years I doubt it would have garnered much of a profit but at this point only the hardcore are still in it and while I suspect alot of them will still see it many others dont have the heart or interest in it anymore to buy the poni experience

    I just dont see enough people bothering to watch it in theaters at this point. Too late in the game like when they released the Double Dragon movie 7 years after the release of the game

    Do you have backup to this claim? Because I have evidence against this.

    It's a little early to tell, but I'm expecting a modest production budget for this. Perhaps $20-$30 million. The marketing budget will probably be around $10-$20 million. At the worst, I would expect Blair Witch numbers ($40-$45 million worldwide final gross). But because this is a movie for a franchise based on toys, I believe the merchandise sales will be of more interest to Lionsgate and Hasbro.

    There's also no telling what deals could be reached from partnerships with companies (McDonald's, Red Robin, etc.). Sometimes these deals include money packages that help with marketing costs. We probably won't know about these deals, but they do happen.

    I'm just not sure how significant its international presence will be, because a film can have a strong domestic number and completely bomb overseas. Not to mention, it's going up against Blade Runner 2049, which could take some interest away from it.

    Still too early to make an accurate guess, though. It's less than six months away.

    Blade Runner is not competing against MLP. Two completely different types of films.

    I keep hearing about that it's going to be a flop and all, but I don't see how that notion adds up if Hasbro makes this film correctly.

    Now will it be a billion dollar blockbuster? Haha no. You have to be Disney in order for that to happen. 

    But nostalgia sells, especially in the form of animation/family movies. Even if the fandom is not what it once was, an actual My Little PONY (emphasis on "pony", as in "not humans" and "enough time for proper storytelling") Movie will get the attention of those who want to see MLP back at its roots, in addition to the large audience it already has. Not to mention that parents will take kids to take any animated film and MLP is the only one in almost two months. 

    I mean the freaking Smurfs making $500 million in 2011 and Trolls making almost $400 million has to count for something, right?

    Also as for the backlash I don't think the same 25-30 trolls commenting "cancer" and "autism" and "f*ck Bronies" on YouTube counts as real hate, as most of them are from 12-15 year olds who have nothing better to do. 

    So really I see $200 million worldwide at the worst (if the film gets terrible reviews and botches the marketing) and $500-575 million at the best (if everything goes according to plan).

    Just my $.02. :)
