Hey I just looked it up and it turns out stating your opinions as if they were facts doesn't actually convert opinions into facts.

Glad we got that figured out before three more pages of arguing about opinions.

Andrea Libman's tweet seems to have been deleted :tinfoil:

Edit: Or maybe not, it's there now. Weird. It had been gone when I looked a minute ago.

Talking about cute cartoons & comics about ponies... Or at least it used to be.... Personally I'm afraid I may have to start sticking to just a few people on twitter for that for the next 3 years though. :fluttersmith:

I can't see them doing a CGI movie after the show has been flash animated, unless it was to kickstart G5.

As for the new writer, I guess my disappointment comes only from them (seemingly) doing a movie that is meant for a much wider audience and it would have been great for one of the shows regular writers to get their foot in the door writing something at this level.

Well looks like it's gonna be a long three years.

So who thinks this is gonna a be a sort of bridge between the current incarnation of FIM and whatever the next one will be?

Didn't Hasbro use Transformers first movie to kill off most of the original autobots to make way for the new line?

I'm sure the Mane 6's send off will be less painful.....maybe

Unless S5 is the last season, or if the next one is going to be heavily based on FiM (like, if it's starring the CMC and Spike and friends in their teenage or early adult years), I doubt we'll segue directly into G5. It's hard to say why, but I do get the feeling that Hasbro would like FiM to remain dormant for a year or two (perhaps letting EqG or that other spinoff that I just described hog the spotlight for that time) before starting a new generation.

G1 to G2 wasn't a huge reboot, just lots of new toys.

A transitional movie is probably not the way to do it. If they do want to totally reboot MLP, they'll probably want to change the designs to create a new toy line. That'd be easiest with a clean break -- shut FiM down and move on to a new thing, like G1/G2 to Beast Wars.

I don't think there is any way they would do an out and out reboot given FiM's success. They'll try to tie G5 into it with a lot more than just being called "My Little Pony" I think. Maybe Celestia and Luna have traveled back to the undying lands, leaving King Aragorn Queen Twilight to rule Gondor.

:v: I don't know if you should rule from Minas Tirith, Twilight.

:-/ Why not?

:v: Well, I've read these books thoroughly, and Rohan's leader is known as the Horse Master.

:-/ ...

:-I ... you're right. I shall rule from Rohan.

:ponynet: Rarity, you get Rivendell. With the fabulous Elves gone, we need someone to keep it up.

:wink: The Council of Fabulous will convene at once!

:twiright: Rainbow Dash, since you love heights, you can have Minas Tirith.

:awesomedash: I'm going to dive off the top every morning like Denethor.

:v: Without the fire.

:ponynet: AJ, obviously, you get The Shire. Grow some apples.

:twasnothin:

:-I Fluttershy, you get Mirkwood, with all of Radagasts old animals.

:allears: Even the adorable giant spiders?

:spoiler: And Pinkie, you know rocks, so you can have Moria. Feel free to invite Maud.

You can be hyped for the movie without thinking Friendship is Magic is god's gift of animation. :pinkieshrug:

I for one am very excited for this, because I like me some horsies. As long as the movie got some heart, some great songs and good values for girls in it, I'll be totally satisfied.

Basically everything that's in the OP. It's coming in 2017, it's being written by that Joe Ballarini fellow, Meghan and (enough of) the gang have tweeted about it to where we can assume that the show's actors and technical staff will be on it, and going by Meghan's tweet it is almost certainly going to feature Equestrian ponies and not Dougworld humans.

Wow a FiM movie? I really didn't expect that anymore. This is in fact a huge surprise. :yay:


I watched Amélie recently for the first time and it reminded me a bit of pony, there is not much media out there that is so sincere, sappy and has this mighty power to make you feel happy. S4 still managed to do so and that's why I am looking forward to a full length movie, where those strings can be pulled even better :scheming:

Just get them to hang out with John DE Lance and be bothered the entire time because he sounds too much like Discord.

:-/ at least at Canterlot High I didn't have to out up with Discord and I still got to be a princess

:v: weren't you just the princess of the school dance

They should do it up like Blazing Saddles, have most of the movie set in Equestria but then have a big chase scene that spills over into the human world. :whatsup:

I have no idea what you're talking about. Mainstream people do not just tend to ignore and dismiss MLP, and it is still classified as kids stuff. Popular kids stuff. It's possible for something to be seen as kids stuff and still be mainstream. Why else has MLP been referenced in all sorts of media, prior to FiM's popularity? People don't have to watch it for it to be known. It's just as Transformers. People know about it. It's a household name. It's popular among kids.

Headless Horse wrote:
You're stating this as fact. Why?

Even if other shows have exhibited this tendency, why are you applying a past observed pattern as though it proves something empirically?


I am stating it as fact, because it is. Observed patterns continue on. For the last bloody time, I am not saying there is anything wrong with it. But shows tend to change often, when the writers run out of ideas, and need ways to try to keep things fresh. When it happens often, it just so happens to be that it's running out of steam. That's just the way things are.

SoundMonkey44 wrote:Arguing negative opinions as facts doesn't make them any more factual then doing the same for positive or neutral opinions. :twiright:


I'M NOT FUCKING ARGUING ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT THE SHOW.

Fizzbuzz wrote:I have to agree with Headless Horse here. Yes, there have been changes between the beginning and now, but change in and of its own is not a bad thing. I, personally, have enjoyed the direction the show has taken since S1. I know you haven't, but that doesn't mean you have to put Meghan and the gang down as being objectively out of ideas.


Again, I'm not fucking saying change is bad. But constant change is present, when the writers run out of ideas to keep things fresh. I'm not fucking bashing on "the gang", it's just the way things are. Transformers Prime introduced the Predacons and Optimus Prime's new body when they ran out of ways to run the show as it was. Brady Bunch introduced the cousin. Godzilla reboots. It's just the way things are. It's impossible to have an infinite pool of ideas.

The show has changed constantly, it's not about kindergarten problems anymore like it used to be in early season 1. The thing is that not only the show changes, but the characters as well. I would even say that the characters are the ones driving the change as they grow gradually over the course of the seasons.

Seriously change isn't inherently bad, I would say people run out of ideas as soon as nothing changes. The show works with the characters, they do progress over the time and their story isn't finished yet. So I'm not really worried. :pinkieshrug:
