I want to see a lot of meta humor in the film

The show has enough, but this movie is the perfect opportunity to really hit the nail on the head. I think having jokes about Hasbro, MLP, and Equestria Girls especially would really capture audiences, a la Deadpool and Lego Batman.

 

Do you agree? Should Hasbro do that?

[Hoppy 699]

i think Pinkie shood make fun of Hasbro Discord shood make fun of eqg and gumy neads another poem

I think it'd alienate the initial audience. But who knows.

Not really. Batman Lego didn't affect Batman fans.

Thats a different demographic.

 

Thats like saying killing off a character in a specific movie made it better, so why not kill off the mane six, it worked for that other movie.

 

Little girls won't get the jokes and it can throw them off, and parents might not get them either, or think its too out of place.

Execution is key. Things could get cringe-worthy pretty fast....

That's kind of the point. It's jokes meant for the Bronies that the target audience won't give a hoot about.

 

I mean I can guarantee at least two of those types of jokes will be in there given what the show has done.

Yeah. I'm agree with you. I like it

[ShadOBabe 18,984]

100% disagree. One or two meta jokes can be hysterical.

But I want to see a serious MLP-world adventure story.

I don't want them wasting too much time being snarky and taking jabs at real world crap.

No, I don't like those kinds of jokes in movies. I think it seems cheap, like the story can't stand on it's own. Similar to how a reboot makes references to the old version as a cheap way to appeal to fans.

MLP has at least one reference per episode. It wouldn't be out of place in this movie.

[Prospekt 10,984]

Make a couple of fourth wall-breaking jokes but keep the humor faithful to what would typically be seen in the show. Maybe reference an episode or two but don't do it too often.

[Ganondorf8 11,118]

Nothing wrong with including jokes and references that poke fun at both the brand and Hasbro itself, but they would need to be tasteful otherwise it could cause some issues.

[cmarston1 5,951]

One or two meta jokes about the show itself would be pretty funny, but that's where it should end.

this, this, this, this! Omg this!

[Steve Piranha 28,778]

Maybe they'll slip a joke or two for our understanding . Hay, most animated movies slip adult jokes 

[Rick Sanchez 75]

i'd prefer it if the show sticks to its roots and stays charming and focused on situational humor rather than meta humor.

[llamalauncher 84]

A few meta jokes wouldnt be bad, mostly because pinkie is there is wouldnt be out of place, pinkies the funny one. Other than that I rather an adventure movie

What? You dont want to see Family Guy cut away gags and pop culture references while the girls go to Seaquestria and meet a talking bipedal cat?
