Hehe, I was mostly thinking about those AMD vs Nvidia memes that would take a screen cap from a episode and compare it against a really well drawn scene interpretation from a well known artist.

@Ping_chan 
BEcause this is a 2d movie, those concepts only apply to real-time rendered cgi.

I personally would love it if when the PC version of the MLP movie comes out, if it had a full array of graphics adjustment settings, like resolution, bloom, ambient occlusion, depth, anti aliasing and hell why not enable SLI for a movie as well?

German trailer looks way better. Seriously, the extra shadows and weird contrast makes the US trailer look awful. They didn’t even uploaded the video with the correct ratio.

@Background Pony #6D6C 
I don’t think you know what that is.

The US one looks like they went overboard with the Ambient Occlusion.

Germany >

@Sub Hoofer 
It’ll probably be the last time this happens.

Wait, did the US trailer get the shadows wrong AGAIN? 
I swear to god, someone in the editing department hates MLP.

@Background Pony #ECB2 
Thanks for pointing out the differences, @Ebonysdagger 
I have bad eyes too. :p

@Background Pony #B0FB
 
I don’t even need to look hard to notice the difference.
 
The colors alone stand the fuck out to me.

From what I can tell, except for small differences you literally have to do a freeze frame side-by-side comparison to notice, these two are the effectively the same.
 
Unless there is a significant model replacement any changes will be unnoticeable except to those who go to the effort to find them.

@thatguy 
Exactly.

From what I can tell, the German version looks closer to the same old show’s style, whereas the US version’s shading gives it a more 3-dimensional feel.

The English version

There is a difference? Everyone must have better eyes than mine if there is because I’m just seeing the same picture in the comparisons.

I agree the German Trailer looks better, the English one looks like the same company that made the teaser, still didn’t convert it right.

Is this another one of those 8-bit v. 16-bit things? :j

@Hayseed
 
I think it’s the opposite. The German version must be an older cut because the basic soft shadows and highlights in it are present on the english version.
 
I think the English trailer is showing a layer effect to increase the shadow/highlights contrast, which results in the saturation of the base colors.
 
Also, you can tell the English version has extra shadows and highlights in the faces.
 
Its way too much for me. They can tweak it, but I much rather they stick to the simpler three tone shading seen on the German trailer.

@Hayseed
 
And yet the airship CGI is still unfinished.

German release might be using a later cut of the movie.

Can you please do me a favor and stop making these comparisons? Both trailers are good.

Gimme the german release, pls. I couldn’t stand the saturation of the English trailer.

Frankly, they look way more flat with all the shading removed in the German version.

@soundtea
 
No, it really doesn’t.
