Wow that was even more ludicrous than I could have possibly imagined

I want some of whatever Hasbro's smoking

Acutally no wait I don't because it'd probably make me think that pop culture references and memes are the height of comedy and I want to preserve what little taste I still have

All because they made their character played by Sia look a little like Sia?

She looks so ridiculous IRL that, as a pony, she actually looks sort of normal.

In that case, you want some of The Amazing World of Gumball's stash.

New playset for the movie. New seapony kingdom is called Seaquestria. Slightly better than Aquestria.

Image

Queen Novo

Image

Spike becomes a puffer fish. I don't care what anyone says, dog Spike is a better look.

Edit: Round 3!

Image

Image

Looks like she's going to have a magic peg leg.

And finally

Image

Storm King actually isn't a centaur. Also that might be Canterlot in the background?

So seaponies will retain their front legs. I do like the design.

So on top of McScar Face for Tempest, we have a legit pirate leg for this griffon... :pinkieshrug:

EDIT: Reposting Storm King image, I'm seeing a broken link here.

Hasbro had their Toy Fair presentation. A big focus was on the movie, including announcing 7 songs for the movie.

Also had a group shot of all the celebrity guest stars, and it looks like Celano has a crystal peg leg, not a magic one.

Edit: also apparently they showed a trailer at the presentation. Sooooooo maybe we'll get one later today on YouTube?

That is a pun within a pun! It's pun inception, punception! I think the movie's nunclear reactor is about to hit critical mass!

The only thing that vaguely bothers me about Pinkie Pie there is the lighting on her closed eyelids. I expect that'll look better in motion.

Eh it's just promotional art for an unfinished product, I'm sure they'll tweak that stuff.

RD and Fluts in particular are absolutely on point, if the final product looks half as adorable it'll be great :-P

It's at least a whole lot nicer than the pre-S1 promo art that Hasbro and licensees still occasionally use for stuff. If S8/G4.5/whatever carry on the movie's look, I'll be looking forward to it.

Sia pony definitely looks less ridiculous in toy form. Mainly because she has what appears to be an accurate amount of hair instead of five times as much.

Still kind of silly though. Sia has had people portray her in music videos without the giant Cruella bangs before; I don't know why it's considered such an essential part of her look. (To my understanding, it's mostly to hide her real face from the public, which of course isn't necessary when "Sia" is just an actress or cartoon horse.)

It's her gimmick; nothing really mysterious there. I'm sure the character designers just thought "Oh hey, Sia's trademark hair would probably make for a fun look on her character, we should try that".

RIP Sapphire Shores and Rara.

Captain Caelano - Dynamic Leader of the Parrot Pirate Crew

This bird's got style, so listen up, dudes
She wears a tricorn to suit her mood
She's quick and nimble when she needs to be
She can trim the sails and roam the seas
She's got a peg-leg and a magic sword, too
She's the dynamic leader of the parrot pirate crew

The only thing I have to wonder about Sia's ponysona is if her fur color was deliberately meant to evoke her real-life skin color. It's not as if this is a grave sin (like, I have green eyes IRL, but those happened to fit well with the blue-green and gray color scheme I wanted; similarly, a very light off-white works with Sia's black-and-white hair and the black shirt she's wearing), but human skin tones are generally a little boring when applied to ponies who come in all colors of the rainbow.

Hold my beer, I'm gonna try to predict stuff (and probably fall on my face).

The Storm King has a trident, which is associated with the sea. He stole it from the seaponies, shades of Ursula from The Little Mermaid. The seaponies use the trident to control the seas, similar to how the land ponies control the weather. When the Mane 6 find the seaponies their underwater kingdom will be in chaos. They'll go there because Celestia will recognize the trident from a long time ago and tell them the location of the sea kingdom. The King will first attack the Crystal Empire in the North, sweep down to Canterlot, and then finish off Twilight's castle. As for the King's motivation, he looks like a yeti. Perhaps Equestria's proclivity for weather control pushed his race to poorer arctic lands and he wants to turn Equestria into a stormy, icy place where his kind can live. And general revenge stuff.

Supposedly, the Storm King will be stealing magic. His minion Tempest Shadow has a broken horn. Those two facts will be connected somehow. Maybe she goes along with the King hoping to get her magic back. If she was bad in the past, maybe her horn was broken as punishment by Celestia or the seapony queen. She will be a key character and turn good again to help defeat the King. The King will stay in Equestria and Tempest and the evil mole character will be tasked with chasing down the Mane 6, who will leave Equestria in the hot air balloon, which will end up crashing after they're out of Equestria.

There will be a silly shanty song involving the pirates. Capper won't be a bad guy, but he'll sell the Mane 6 out for money and then feel bad about it later and do something to make up for it. He'll be a Han Solo, jerk with a heart of gold sort of character. There will be a gag where Rarity is enamored with his suave demeanor and the others tell her to focus.

In the last act, the Mane 6 + allies return to Equestria to confront the King. I'm going to say it'll be in Ponyville, since it's next to several large bodies of water and maybe the seaponies could help from there (SHOO BE DOO). The tone of the movie will start happy go lucky and silly, then like a natural disaster movie when the King attacks, the middle adventure part will be a quippy, Marvel-esque fare, and then the last act they'll return to a ruined Equestria, which will be played straight with maybe some gallows humor at most. The characters will see the suffering ponies which will steel their resolve, papering over any arguments they've had up to that point.

I can't find it now, but aren't there three artifacts they have to collect based on earth, air, water? Or was that the first version of the movie with Cosmos? If it's this one, the bird pirate leader will take air, sea pony queen water, and Tempest will be earth. They may split up the Mane6 when collecting them, to put more focus on certain characters.

If my guess about the yeti people is correct, maybe Equestria will carve out a section of the North for them, or even invite them to live in or near the Crystal Empire. This will engender controversy and people will say the movie's moral is that terrorism works.

Derpy will do something silly.

I think I just described a 2.5 hour movie instead of the more likely 90 minutes.

So are hippogriffs supposed to be like, skyponies


Considering there's seaponies and such, I'm assuming there's still some of that elemental theme, and obviously it wouldn't make much sense to have the air-themed ponies just be regular pegasi because what's special about that

Looking like Canterlot has seen a few upgrades since Season 6. Like, it's gotten about three times bigger for example.

I'll try to tone it down, but I can't sit back and get excited when it looks like we're going to see the same thing in the movie we see in the show. :pinkieshrug:

Try to hold back until we get a trailer.
