If I had a bit for every time you made me feel worthless, I'd be worth something by now.

Hope they don't do too many stars.

Funny to think we still have such a vague idea of what this movie is going to be. I don't suppose we'll have a sense of that until we can see what it looks like.
...and ponies will be captured

If that's accurate then it seems they totally abandoned Meghan's original script from the Sony leaks. Sounds kind of low key for a bit movie though, so I'm not sure if I buy it yet.
"the characters will undergo "changes""
"for a portion of the movie, our main characters will transform into other creatures"
Ruflux wrote:Wait so are the images in the article seriously meant to be unrelated to the movie
Like they claimed they're unrelated, but what the hell there's no way they have shit as HQ as that just for some random presentation ready to go, let alone also thematically appropriate (seaponies) and shit, right? These have to be from the film, or at least concept art for it

Fizzbuzz wrote:I didn't click that EQD link so I don't actually know how it leaked, but I'm guessing that info handed to international distributors made its way into the wild there, because it's Russia.

Soft Snow wrote:I'm a bit concerned. The Warcraft movie, despite having having a large fandom, sticking true to the lore and wonderful effects, bombed in the box office. What if the pony movie, despite having a large fandom and sticks true to the characters, also fails? What if they decide to cancel the squeals they are undoubtedly already working on? What will this mean for the franchise? What if they decide to cancel the show? What if they decided to completely scrub it off the internet because of how much shame it brought them?! Can Hasbro do that? They might be able to do that! Who will I hang out with if they shut down the Round Stable?!?!
PaulloDEC wrote:Secondly, I think we all need to make our peace with the possibility that the film might fail, critically if not commercially. Making a film that satisfies fans, critics and the general public equally is not something that happens very often, and the mere fact that FiM is being used as a basis for this film rather than just the generic "MLP brand" suggests they're leaning towards pleasing existing viewers. There's a very real chance that in writing something compelling for fans of FiM they totally alienate critics, and maybe even new viewers to some extent.

I'm interested in the possibility that critics could love the movie but it would leave fans cold. Is such a thing even possible?
