The My Little Pony Movie

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
I don’t feel like you would agree with any arguments I make. Personally, I enjoyed “Moana” and “Frozen” far more than “My Little Pony: The Movie,” and I didn’t feel the latter represented the show’s best qualities. Many reviews are overly dismissive, but I found it tedious, and so I can understand why it got mixed reviews.

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
Who gives a shit about critical acclaim? Most of the fans liked it. You liked it.
 
That’s all that matters.

@Thrond  
tbh Frozen wasn’t great and the only reason it made so much money is because it’s Disney who spends millions on Advertisement and have close to a monopoly on the film industry.  
Also, not to be rude but do you ever not act pessimistic towards the show?

@Mikey  
Doesn’t seem to me Disney has a monopoly on the film industry.

@Chrys  
They recently bought another film studio.

@Mikey  
I think you’re underestimating how much people like “Frozen.”
 
I’m optimistic towards the show when I’m enjoying it. I didn’t enjoy it much in 2016. If I have some fun with season 8 then you’ll probably see my tone change significantly.
 
I don’t usually post in threads about the movie because I know I don’t have anything to contribute. I saw Hollowfox over there was confused about the critical reception, so I thought that might be something I could respond to without intruding too much on everyone’s fun, since they brought it up. Maybe I was mistaken.

@Thrond  
I mean it just seems like you didn’t enjoy a good majority of the last few seasons on another site.

@Mikey  
I really liked season 6.

@Chrys  
yet😨

@Mikey  
Hopefully they can reboot Fantastic Four if the deal goes through.

@Thrond  
Well, The reason I was so “confused” about the critical reception is because critics do not see that the film is faithful to the source material compared with the likes of other Hasbro films such as Bayformers, Jem and the Holograms, G.I. Joe and Battleship, which critics disliked it for not being faithful to the source material.
 
Also do you prefer MLP as a show or as a film?

@warc9  
If i didn’t give a shit about critical reception, I wouldn’t know the fate of Hasbro films or even DC films whether they be like “Fuck the haters we can turn our IPs into feature films all we fucking want” due to toy sales/B.O. sales or they give in to the haters and stop making films altogether.
 
Yes I like it, but I don’t matter in terms of public onion. (You get the joke)

@Thrond  
Same

@Mikey  
Oh.

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
I like the show more, in general. I haven’t read anyone criticizing the movie for being unfaithful, though, at least not in the Bayformers sense.

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
Yes you do. Fans are not a priviet group. The fans rated it highly.  
It made money. They will keep makeing films.

@Thrond  
Well, that’s fine, even if I wish there was a way to see TV shows on a big immersive screen rather than a small one.
 
Oh, and here is another reason why I got confused at the reception, because Disney and Lego (except Ninjago) gets all the love and fame from critics compared to DC, Mattel, Sony and Hasbro.
 
Also, is there more to a film adaptation than just being faithful to the source material?

@warc9  
But what if they do not take criticism from critics?

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
They will and do.
 
Let the critics think whatever they want.
 
You like what you like.
 
Movies, like all art are subjective.
 
They take criticism from critics and the praise from fans.
 
Again, bringing up the IGN review that was shit. Or the variety review that was clickbait.

@warc9  
Has IGN liked anything MLP before they disliked the film?
 
Also, how did they liked Equestria Girls and yet disliked the film? Is it because the ponies are not humans?

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
You should stop worrying about what IGN thinks about a film. They’re biased to the extreme and have very controversial reviews.

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
I have no idea, but the reviewer claimed that he was a brony.
 
But I haven’t seen any criticisms like his ever before.

@ILoveMyoozik  
I already know, I was just checking about IGN’s relationship with MLP.
 
Besides, don’t we all know that they are biased?

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
I’m pretty sure everyone and their grandma knows that. XP
