Talk:My Little Pony The Movie/@comment-26423071-20171013152238

I wrote this in the comment section for the trailer to the movie "Stand By Me" on youtube:

"Looking at the comment sections for "New Mutants" made me realize modern audiences will never understand the beauty of this wonderful movie.(*) This movie didn't "experiment".(*) It wasn't "dark and gritty".(*) It was all about how wonderous adventures can be found in the most simple of things. It was about what a great treasure friendship is. (*) Modern audiences would call it "kiddy".(*) Modern audiences would say  it "doesn't deserve its R rating".(*) Modern audience would complain that it doesn't "experiment".(*) This movie is a gorgeous work of art, but modern audiences are to immature to appreciate it.﻿(*)" And that's the problem, isn't it? The reason this movie, the MLP movie, didn't do well at the box office... ...modern audience only want "dark and edgy". Blood, sex, and a cynical message about how humanity sucks. They can...won't...accept a simple, quiet, nice movies that promotes the value of friendship and how life is worth living. It's the same reason why Hayao Miyazaki is reluctant to makenew movies: his quiet and mellow tones, his strong themes of hope and friendship and forgiveness, they aren't accepted by the youngsters of today. It mustbe "experimental". It must be cynical and gory. Everything else is "kiddy", and not worth their time. It's actually depressing. This movie is cheerful, hopeful, fun, and it continues the strong messages of friendship and forgiveness and redemption found in the main show. And it's precisely why it flopped.
