Plus, EQG's a tired brand that caused many of the problems that G4 suffered from: chief among them being that rushed and halved Season 3 where Twilight was made an Alicorn completely out of nowhere because Hasbro diverted resources to make that EQG Movie in the first place. On top of the fact that because of the months-long hiatus between seasons 3 & 4 caused a large number of Bronies to quit the Fandom, taking away so many creative fans that felt sick and tired of this strange direction. And even when Season 4 came out, the show didn't even know what to do with Twilight being an Alicorn now.
EQG was done on the grounds of capitalizing on the resurgence of Teenage Doll lines like Monster High in the similar vein of Bratz or Barbie, and it was terrible for that and wouldn't be able to recoup its losses until after Rainbow Rocks, but make no mistake; that first movie was bad taste as a first Princess Twilight venture, especially since she didn't really get to really spend time as an Alicorn for it.
In my opinion, the 2017 Movie feels more like the sequel to the events of Magical Mystery Cure, on the grounds that the more fantastical elements introduced between Seasons 3 and 7 weren't even seen or talked much about. If THAT was G4's first Movie, than it would have been a major hit with audiences.
