Pony Movie Trailer Thoughts · 4:43am Jun 29th, 2017

“Hype Train now boarding, platform 6-28. All ticket holders please report for boarding.”

So, as I’ve said before, my major fear with the pony movie was that this was not going to be THE pony movie we’ve wanted, dealing with stuff like the dawn of Equestria and Star Swirl’s mysterious fate and the backstory of the Elements, etc. I felt more this was gonna be A pony movie, in that it’ll just be a movie-length episode with maybe some higher stakes and more action. This trailer disproved both notions. This is not the pony movie I was expecting, nor is it the one I want. But it’s looking great in its own right.

Tempest seems intimidating, Starlight is there (did you catch her?) but the focus is obviously on the Mane Six, and the stakes do seem very high with the aerial invasion of Canterlot by the Storm King and his forces and Twilight and co kinda forced to flee the kingdom to seek help elsewhere. I’m also looking forward to the Storm King as a villain, a lot of people have pegged him as a candidate for redemption based on the comics, but I’m not sure, Tempest seems the more obvious choice to redeem seeing as she’s a pony with a broken horn said to have a troubled past. I can’t see the film redeeming both villains because that would be cheap, it’ll probably be one or the other. That said with Tempest’s showing here I would not mind if the Storm King is redeemed only for Tempest to usurp him as the final boss.

Animation, need I say it, looks amazing. Humor is good. Cameos is good, of course all the big ones will be here.

I was skeptical of the film, but the trailer has won me over. *punches his ticket* Let’s enjoy the ride these next three months.
