Talk:My Little Pony The Movie/@comment-28723573-20170629163850/@comment-1031724-20170707034717

It's probably not really going to be any different than watching Zootopia at this point. The fandom may have taken a nosedive but its legacy remains and last I heard was more known and accepted, and if anyone gives you any lip at the front desk, tell them a character dies in the second episode of Season 3. (This isn't an excuse to mention him, just the best defense against the skeptics at this moment) If you read the book ahead of time and they destroy the Storm King, say "Someone dies in this movie", but many of you are probably going to want to watch without spoilers. Which will be hard to avoid between then and DVD/Netflix release.

Otherwise, it'll be dark and everypony will be watching the screen rather than the seats. And obviously any younger kids will be accompanied by parents, who would likely be impressed by it if it's anything like A Canterlot Wedding, Twilight's Kingdom, The Cutie Remark, or To Where and Back Again.

But, I can't be sure what the movie's going to be like. Despite the storm and airships, it might be sillier in terms of villain battles than some of the two-parters, and we're not sure how much pop culture references and stuff it's going to have either. This is one of the reasons I want them to destroy either the Storm King or Tempest Shadow (and make such a big deal about Sombra, sometimes a little too much), to show it's not some silly spineless show that only the younger kids would love. (It wouldn't make it unsuitable for them, as anyone who's seen G1 and most G-rated Disney movies would know)

So, if you haven't read the book, it's a gamble, both in terms of that and money.
