Skytower 71 March 27, 2018 Share March 27, 2018 I've got no way to see it right now, but if I start watching season 8 would I miss too much or spoil to much from the movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concerned Bystander 2,905 March 27, 2018 Share March 27, 2018 There were some minor spoilers for the film in the S8 opener, but nothing that would really leave you scratching your head in confusion from not having seen the film. Ideally, I'd watch the film before starting S8, if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Here No Longer 5,286 March 27, 2018 Share March 27, 2018 I never saw the movie and had no trouble with understanding what was happening in the opener. Though there were probably a few spoilers for the movie thrown in there, mostly at the beginning of the first episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyactis Mewcis Catlum 672 March 27, 2018 Share March 27, 2018 The premiere essentially recaps all the important information you need to know in order to understand it, so no, the movie isn't required viewing. I'd still watch it anyway just to get the details on exactly what they're talking about, but their summaries of events just about cover it. TwiDash, Promptis & Sonadow. RC Enthusiast.

Ashen Pathfinder 16,164 March 27, 2018 Share March 27, 2018 It's not required. The main plot of the episode really has nothing to do with the movie. Only the beginning really explicitly references the movie, and even then that info was pretty much common knowledge before the film premiered. I wouldn't worry.

Titans08Mariota 763 March 27, 2018 Share March 27, 2018 I don't watch mlp, but I can chime in on this from a different standpoint, maybe that'd help. From a marketing standpoint, it would be a good idea for the company who makes and produces mlp to keep the movie as it's own entity. This way they get the most revenue because of it being a different thing. From a historical standpoint, if we look at how spongebob had it's movies and kinda had the same formula throughout, it made the movies something you wanted to see because they were different. In conclusion, you probably won't have any problem watching the 8th season of your show and it containing spoilers. There most likely won't be any, and they'll keep the movie as it's own entity.

SharpWit 2,845 March 27, 2018 Share March 27, 2018 They gave enough exposition to catch us up on the fact that sometimes adventures occur off screen, but not enough to make you feel like you're missing out on something. They do this all the time by referencing events in past episodes. Really useful in providing context, especially for new comers without overwhelming them.

_melody_ 113 March 29, 2018 Share March 29, 2018 You wouldn’t miss much at all, but like the others said there’ll definitely be some spoilers. But then again, it’s a pony movie, you know everything is gonna end out ok and even if you were watching the movie it’s things you’d probably be able to guess while you were watching the movie so go ahead and watch season 8! (You might just be a bit confused as to why a certain type of creature can do some things maybe haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smk.png 181 March 29, 2018 Share March 29, 2018 I agree with everyone else. Spoilers! All of right-thinking humanity is on my side. Sandwiches are meant to be cut in half. You would never, unless under extreme duress or madness cut a hot dog in half. Picture yourself at a ball park, or even at a restaurant, cutting a hot dog and you will feel an instinctive, entire repulsion at the very thought of it. You can get a soup with a half sandwich, but you’d never serve a half hot dog with a soup. It’s the equivalent of cutting a pizza with a knife and fork. Pashman says anything “sandwiched is a sandwich.” He’s using the derivative verb to describe the sandwich, so he is proving the premise with itself; it is a complete logical fallacy. I hope they’ll openly boo him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErasedIndex 428 March 29, 2018 Share March 29, 2018 I don't really think the movie is required but sure if you want to go ahead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
