My Little Pony: The Movie

So tonight I will be going to the early screening of the MLP movie and I have a few predictions here for what I think. And i've been avoiding all forms of spoilers that I can including most of the press release stuff, making ofs, etc.

Predictions:

Overall I think it will be a movie that, to anyone in the fandom, will be an amazing film. To an average movie goer, i think it'll be a fun, harmless film. Not groundbreaking or box office breaking, but at the same time not complete shit and a pleasant surprise.

Preemptive Score: 9/10
Box Office: $11M Opening (2nd Place compared to Blade Runner)
Critical Reaction/Audience Reaction: Eh to Amazing

Plot Predictions:
- Princesses get turned to stone or crystal to make them useless
- Capper might back-stab them while eventually helping them
- Twilight betrays her friends/denies their help/hands herself or her magic over/etc.
- Tempest is the main villain and ultimately the hero
- Sky pirate battle (THERE BETTER BE A PIRATE BATTLE)
- Spike is useless or not helpful, but somehow gets the biggest laugh of the movie
- Storm King is more funny than menacing at times, like Tirek with a Discord personality
- Sia is there but her cameo is smaller and harmless overall

Other predictions:
- Side characters will be memorable
- Locations will be hugely memorable and will hopefully impact the show itself for worldbuilding
- Music will hopefully be awesome (hoping for an amazing villain song)
- References and audience nods will be there but will be minimal or will blend perfectly
- Some level of cringe to it (the show has had it since the beginning so I expect it)
- Background character references will hopefully fly by and not linger to long, unless it's Derpy.

Tonight after it's done I will do a spoiler free review just to give a general score and everything and tomorrow after wide release I will do a more spoiler heavy review and discussion.
