If there is one thing that you don't want the movie to do, what is it?

[Mr_Bigeyes02 34]

Have them introduce like 4 more characters. WE ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH

[The MegaBrony 219]

 

I also hope it doesn't kill off any of the Mane 7 (I include Starlight as the 7th).

SPOILER ALERT! Han Solo dies in The Force Awakens! And I do NOT want to see him replaced in that scene with any of the Mane 7 in their movie.

Its kind of funny; one of the recurring things that I see mentioned over and over again in this thread is "don't gear the movie specifically towards fans", when that's what I WANT. I want a movie that is about the world's lore and continuity and is based around stuff that the show's been building up to. I WANT a movie that deals with stuff that has been talked about but never done in the show, like explaining lore about the Tree of harmony or starswirl.

I don't want this to just be a random Anime movie deal where it has zero to do with anything else in the show and is more or less non-canon, and I want some actual stuff to change in the status quo.

Not feature Starlight Glimmer. I already have one of Twilights lackie- I mean... apprentices in Sunset Shimmer. I don't need this one ruining a movie with her alicorn-matching magic. I'd like this to be one with the Mane 6. No extra 7th pony joining in. I also wouldn't like it to be 100% geared to us bronies. I'd like lore and info on the world a bit more, sure, but we aren't their target market.

 

I also don't want them to use the movie to round off Generation 4. But that's a given.

well, none of the promo material or info about the movie mentions starlight, so there's hope there. They always just say mane six.

[CurMo 17]

I would be really disappointed if pinkie doesn't wreck the forth wall talk to audience, shake the camera and make cute faces. I really liked the part when she was like "He wants all the cakes"

[Jangocoolguy 433]

No introducing a character who joins the mane (sorry, couldn't resist this time) cast in the Show only to end detracting than adding anything (we already have Starlight and Flurry Heart)

[Leave a Whisper 703]

Be called My Little Pony the Movie. It's so unoriginal and uncreative it's not funny. It's as if Hasbro had a collective brain fart.

I don't want all of the mane 6 to become alicorns. After seeing a thread about mane 6 alicorn toys, I'm worried that it will happen.

[Teavvi 627]

same^^^

Although, I really don't want it to happen it's most likely gonna happen. I'll give my reasons:

I don't think all of them deserve to be alicorns and I think it'll be kind of fake if they all become alicorns. Just no.

[The MegaBrony 219]

Write itself into a corner and require a Deus ex Machina. There's no more EoH or Rainbow Power.

don't; trust me, that won't happen. The alicorn mane six toys, from what I heard, were confirmed bootlegs anyways.

Great, what a relief. But I'm still extremely worried.

[Unlikeable Pony 2,698]

Don't be; I'm someone who WANTS that to happen, and I've quite accepted that's not going to happen awhile ago

The general trend of the show points directly to the opposite; The past 2 two parters have had the other 5 as cameos, and less and less focus/emphasis has been placed on them in regard to situations of import.

In order for them to do a "make the other 5 alicorns" Plot, they'd have to do a plot where MORE emphasis was placed on THEM than twilight, and that's frankly not ever going to happen (as an example, even when Fluttershy was supposedly the one that reformed discord, far more importance was placed on his relationship with twilight being what was important for reforming him).

 

Plus, they would most probably have episodes focusing more on grooming the group as a whole for the task, such as trying to give an organic reason for AJ or pinkie to want to do that in life when they have shown zero ambitions for anything past what they already HAVE, or a focus on the others in leadership roles or whatnot.

There is one problem here (and i speak as a general movie lover here.) If you want this movie, to be a decent success, you also have to attract the general movie audience. Movie goers, who have no idea about the show or anything MLP related, will alienated about the movie. So this being a movie, just for the bronies, would be a giant catastrophe from a business standpoint.

 

Maybe this movie could use the first 15-20 minutes explaining who these characters are and what they did. But we shouldn't expect the audience to know everything.

I wonder if they're going to mention the EOH at all; it'll be hard to discuss/introduce that into the movie with everything ELSE they have to introduce as well.

[Mesme Rize 15,683]

The audience will get a basic explanation of these characters. They will not get into it too much, since it will just waste too much screentime.

 

But i wouldn't be surprised, if this is a standalone movie, that fits into the canon, but dosen't really have to be seen by the fans of the show.

[Megas 27,672]

Marginalizing the mane 6 in favor of Twilight/new characters. I'm already fed up with this in the premieres/finales, I'd rather them not repeat those same mistakes in the movie, as well as those made in the Transformers Movie if we're talking about new characters

I think 15-20 minutes of introduction is too much . I don't think the movie need that much to explain to the general audience info that's not relevant. They just need a short introduction to the characters, and a general explanation that they are the heroines who constantly save everypony's butts

[MLS_Brony 177]

I'd still like to see a feature-length problem getting solved. Seems like all the other movies try and resolve things in the same 22 minute time slot as the show. Give me background and give me tension before the resolution. 

[Auditormadness9 61]

Reform the main villain of the film.

I know the tile of the show is called Friendship is Magic and all, but at this point the writers are way overdoing the concept of villain redemption.

I am pretty much burnt out of the concept right now.

No, I personally love when a villain is reformed.

[Princess Book Horse 352]

Leave Starlight or Spike behind.

 

While I do agree that Starlight should not be the focus of the film, she should at least be as important as the rest of the cast. With her slow but steady transition into main character status, it would be silly to leaver her out.

 

As for Spike, after the first 2 seasons, they stopped leaving him out of major quests, (with the exception of the S5 premiere, but they had good reasons for that) so I'm not too worried about him missing this one. Although, leaving Spike out would be even worse

I don't want it to be insanely girly... I want to prove to haters that we totally don't suck...

Because that sentence make me sound even more like a 13 year old

Because I am one

But I don't like sharing it

Because I'm different

I'm more mature and don't go floundering on about it

OK i'll stop talking now...

They stated at the russian conference that they were hoping it'd be epic enough to feel like "Lord of the rings but with ponies" and there are Guardians of harmony toys planned for it, so I think we can safely assume it'll have a heavy adventure/action focus (Even if I'm pretty much 100% certain the russian conference was just them trying to hype it up to bronies and knew that bronies tend to, as a whole, over emphasize adventure to get hyped)

 

I don't know if we'll actually get anything in the movie intended to be a GOH tie in (Armor or whatnot specifically designed for toymaking), but its definitely going to try to push the envelope ala the S4 finale, IMO.

[Justin_Case001 4,891]

If there is one thing I don't want the movie to do, it is suck.  Yeah, that's right, I don't want it to suck.

 

Okay, I'll be fair and give you a real answer.  Um...I don't want it to be centered around or heavily feature Turbulence Cardioid.  Y'know, Cadance's little bundle of horror.

 

That seemed like cheesy answer.  Here, I'll give you the real real answer:  I want them to pay attention to lore and continuity and not throw in a bunch of random new characters with no explanation.  For the love of Celestia, don't Total Rickall any more characters of out nowhere.

 

If there's a second thing I don't want the movie to do, it is forget that Celestia exists.
