Dear Mods, how much beef does the General Furry Fandom still have with us?
 
Outside of the sort of people that never forget a grudge, most of the furry fandom wouldn’t know or remember there ever was “beef”.
 
For context to those unaware, in the fandom’s first 1-2 years, some furries on FA (and I guess elsewhere) got mad that a lot of their favourite artists started doing loads of MLP art, and their feeds got filled with MLP stuff instead of “pure furry” content. On the other side, a lot of “bronies”, mostly on ponibooru, were furious that furries were drawing MLP art, because that meant there’d be porn and “weird fetishes” generally associated with furry art.
 
Plus there was the whole 4chan thing about hating furries as part of their core identity, which was at odds with how MLP is basically furry bait; self doubt and loathing leads to projecting really damn hard.
 
All in all it was a really dumb bit of completely artificial drama pushed by a dozens or so actual people on “both sides” for the sake of either their entertainment, or to fill in the gaping void where their souls should have been.

Solid 9.5. There’s some inconsistencies in the worldbuilding if you’re paying too much attention, but set aside what you remember from G4 and it’s an astoundingly good movie.

I’m looking forward to seeing the movie once I get a chance! From the songs I’ve heard to some of the nice character interactions between themselves I think I’ll like this movie.

Aside from Ciaran, how did you other mods enjoy the movie? Give me a scale from 1-10 on how you like the movie.
 
7/10
 
Was fun, thankfully had few “memes” or dated pop culture reference. Not a fan of modern tech in ponies is my main gripe, aside from the obvious “it’s not FiM” and the lack of backstory / setup for those that came from G4.
 
 
@Cosmas-the-Explorer  
What is your favorite historical period?
Right now I like the Renaissance period.
 
From a purely “it’s interesting” and absolutely not from an “I’d like to be there” point of view, I’d say the dark ages, 4th to 10th century.

It was good but not impressive. I’d give it 7/10. The graphics were amazing, but the plot was very predictable and never really did anything with the potential it had.  
(G5 spoilers) I’d have given it 9/10 if the ending was Sunny going into that Aether thing and meeting all old Alicorns / or just Twilight, having a discussion, congratulations, and then going out of it being fully-grown Alicorn with floaty mane, and then fighting Earth Ponies that would have been mind-controlled by the racist pony, and using the powers of all alicorns of the old she’d have freed everyone from slavery and punished that racist colt with some silly imprisonment like putting him into that “unicorn trap” box.

The movie was ok. But I wanted it to be great.
 
I feel like Hi Top Films now.
 
edit: Don’t worry. I don’t feel bad anymore. I don’t hate the movie although I think it could have been better in some ways. And I guess some things I would have preferred personally speaking.

I’m more positive torwards ot now. I don’t think it’s perfect but I do like a lot of the things they were doing. Especially the songs. I think Argyle and Sunny and Sunny and Hitch at the beginning’s interactions were my favorite parts.
 
It was not what I was hoping and I still would have preferred a different direction. But I’m pretty fine with it even if I’m not ecstatic about it.
