It's common on EQD and Reddit for me to praise it only to be shot down by the commenters. Sounds odd to me. I know that one link you provided didn't support that statement as people weren't saying that they disliked the movie. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ixrec 14 Report post Posted July 9, 2020 The movie is an interesting subject because while I enjoyed it, and I think it has many good parts (especially the songs!), I also think it's one of the weakest parts of FiM overall, falling into many of the same traps as the weaker "adventure" stories in the main show. I certainly don't hate it, but there's a lot of missed potential there (especially with Twilight's character arc), so disappointed is probably the right word. In practice I value it primarily for the songs and all the new world-building which later FiM seasons and comics got to flesh out more. That's also pretty much exactly how I feel about the Star Wars prequels: Fun the first time, so many good ideas, had the potential to be so much greater than it was. Of course there's nothing wrong with liking it more than I did. This sort of thing is insanely subjective anyway, and even in my opinion not a single element of the movie was bad.

TealMint_Moonrise 514 Report post Posted July 28, 2020 We should appreciate that the movie was there, because without it, there may not have been a follow up of season 8 and 9, or the transition would've been less effective, and would've gained less attention than a film explaining new lands and species, that would be further explained in the final seasons.
