Arctic Night 884 June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 I don't know. I was very worried at first, and put off watching it because it felt so awkward. I figured that it would be the one MLP franchise that I wouldn't like. Once I saw it on Youtube, I realized it wasn't bad. I didn't like it that much, but it still went way beyond my expectations and I could at least sit through it. Sig made by Kyoshi. Cool things people have said about me: Never heard of him but I guess just you mentioning him is a good reason not to go anywhere near that name. (In reference to an author I suggested.)

Scootalove 10,689 June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 I'd say the typical high school cliche' setting, but the pacing just felt rushed to me. I don't hate it that much. Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyCryptid 4,330 June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 Because they're butthurt the first FiM movie we got wasn't actually about ponies. "You know, I don't know who or what you are Methos, and I know you don't want to hear this, but you did teach me something. You taught me that Life's about change, about learning to accept who you are, good or bad. And I thank you for that." -Duncan McLeod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon 4,557 June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 Equestria Girls was great. There was a lot to like about it, but it just wasn't MLP. What are the basic things that make MLP what it is? MLP is a show about ponies... Equestria Girls got rid of the ponies. MLP is a show about magic... Equestria Girls got rid of almost all of the magic. MLP is a show about the mane 6's friendship... Equestria Girls spends half the movie with them not being friends, and then has us go through largely a repeat of stuff that happened in S1 episodes to make them friends again. MLP is a show with a complex and very unique setting which incorporates things like Greek mythology... Equestria Girls has a cliche high school setting. Basically everything that makes MLP unique was somehow changed. There's a lot to love about Equestria Girls, but it just wasn't the same as MLP, so naturally a lot of MLP fans either aren't going to like it or are going to be disappointed since MLP's big movie premiere wasn't nearly as good as it could have been. What it boils down to is that anytime something people love is significantly changed, people are going to be upset. It's not because the new thing is bad, it's just because it's not what we originally became fans of. Essentially it's like ordering a chocolate cake, and getting vanilla. it's not that you hate vanilla, it's that you like chocolate more, and you were expecting chocolate.

Espurr 449 June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 I wondered the same thing. I mean why are all you guys hating this show? But I think it's because it's got stereotypes and people are getting tired of those. I don't care what pony you like because I like everypony!

True Rarity 1,240 June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 (edited) Ah, another of these threads. I didn't hate it or love love LOVE it. I'm on the "love" side a few meters away from the fence. Also, my response has a spoiler tag because, first of all, it's long, and secondly, it does contain some spoilers. The biggest hate factor of the movie is that it's cliché and stereotypically set in a high school environment. Coming up with a feature-length movie for this amazing television series had so many possibilities. My personal favorite is the idea of the CMC finally earning their cutie marks, but, instead, they not only turned the ponies into humans, they set them in high school. After Grease, High School Musical, and so many sitcoms set with high school students, the setting is starting to get pretty old. Now with Rainbow Rocks coming out this fall as a battle of the bands, the EqG haters just aren't ready for another cliché. The second aspect of the movie that most people didn't like - myself included - was character design. All of them had long hair, probably just so their hair extensions would look like tails. They all wore skirts, even Rainbow Dash and Applejack. Their skin and hair was just about the same as their manes and coats in the show, they were all the exact same height with the exception of Celestia and Luna, and they all wore bulky boots, for crying out loud. I'm surprised that the designers who drew up Rarity's amazing dresses couldn't do better than skirts and boots. Many bronies have released their own character designs for the movie, and there are very few that aren't better than that of the movie. The final thing that receives lots of hate is the toy line, but that's self-explanatory. Do keep in mind, however, that just because I basically wrote an essay on this doesn't necessarily mean I don't like the movie either. I liked it and am impatiently awaiting Rainbow Rocks. This just means I can understand why some people might not like it. Edited June 15, 2014 by True Rarity My deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
