I just remembered something about Game of Thrones, where when an HBO executive was asked if the series finale will be done in a movie-form, the HBO executive replied:
Michael Lombardo wrote:Certainly there have been conversations where it’s been said, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool to do [a theatrical movie]?’ But when you start a series with our subscribers, the promise is that for your HBO fee that we’re going to take you to the end of this. I feel that on some level [a movie would be] changing the rules: Now you have to pay $16 to see how your show ends.
Now, there's going to be a movie for MLP no matter what, but I wonder whether the movie, if it's the big send-off to FiM, will affect how the TV show ends. Like, will the TV show end with a cliffhanger, which leads in to the movie? I could see some people being disappointed that they'll have to spend money (and from what I've heard, movie tickets ain't cheap) and get their butts to the theaters to see the full ending to the overall series.
Again, that is if the show ends with a cliffhanger and will be fully resolved in the movie.
