Pony Venting Thread

@Myoozik  
All review aggregators have their problems. And this movie only has seven reviews which is barely enough to count for anything. That said I think comparing the movies is fair game. They’re both children’s movies in the same franchise. It’s about as valid as comparing Moana to Cinderella, even though both of those movies are pretty different.
 
Ken Jeong sucks in this just like he sucks in everything I’ve ever seen him in. Other than that, just a mediocre kids film.

@Myoozik  
I think it’s because of how critics did Tara Strong dirty because they didn’t like the 2017 movie (alongside the anti-cliche bias and the Anti-Hasbro agenda that happens since Bayformers 2)
 
But yeah, agreed.

@Helix988  
Your opinion.
 
 
@Hollowfox Jaeger  
Also your opinion.

@Background Pony #E66C  
I am not saying I didn’t like a New Generation, I did liked the new movie.

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
I know, I just wanted to say that. 😋

@Hollowfox Jaeger  

 
Yeah, because critics were ready to tear into Hasbro’s Bumblebee- oh wait, that movie actually reviewed really well
 
Or maybe, just maybe, and this may come as a shocker, Hasbro needs to get better directors and writers who are invested in their franchises to work on their movies

@Kiryu-Chan  
You know what else was reviewed very well… Ouija: Origin of Evil.
 
Also FYI, Jayson Thiessen and Meghan McCarthy and Mike Vogel were invested in MLP too. Just like G.M. Berrow and the people at Boulder Media.
 
And yet the score was low to the point where 2017 was Hasbro’s WORST year ever. Because critics don’t give a shit if the G4 film is faithful to the source material by not being a live action movie to the point where this could have saved Hasbro from becoming a punching bag of the film industry. If they did and they are aware that the film is based on a beloved property, then the film would have been as certified fresh as the G5 movie.

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again.
 

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
MLP: The Movie also suffers from a ton of executive meddling, which neither Ouija or Bumblebee had

@Kiryu-Chan  
I thought there was no behind the scenes drama for that film. Just like films like Fant4stic or The Room.

@Kiryu-Chan  
Technically, the G4 movie was great, but yeah, good point.
 
@Hollowfox Jaeger  
And yet, you forget that Meghan McCarthy is part of Netflix now ironically.
 
@Penguin Dragneel  
Same.

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
Not exactly, most animated films have drama behind the scenes too.
 
@Kiryu-Chan  
Link?

@Background Pony #E66C  
That was after S9 of MLP was done and before eOne was acquired by Hasbro. And I think that’s what caused eOne to absorb Allspark instead of learning from Disney and making it the former’s subsidiary.

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
Yeah, but MLP is gonna be on Netflix now, so…
 
Also, don’t you think your being too pessimistic?

@Background Pony #E66C  
The thing is, the G5 series is not a Netflix Animation co-production like Centaurworld and Kid Cosmic is.
 
Is it?

@Myoozik  
Agreed.

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
So what if it isn’t it would be still be a Netflix original

@northern haste  
Yep.

The movie is certified fresh because only seven people reviewed it.

@Helix988  
I know, but there is a chance that either more critics will like it or others won’t.

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
Again, WHO CARES?

@Penguin Dragneel  
Stop not caring!!!

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
Why the hell should I care about a movie being better received than the other?

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
@Penguin Dragneel  
Alright, calm down and let’s drop the argument.

@Helix988  
I mean, I’m all up for comparing movies with one another, it’s that I hate it when people use review aggregator sites to justify their quality and to determine which is better than one another.
 
I personally liked the G5 movie more than the 2017 movie because I saw both movies instead of relying on random strangers on the Internet. That and like you said, there aren’t that many reviews on that site to really get an accurate measure.
