MLP the Movie and Nakama is Magic · 5:32pm Oct 6th, 2017
So, I've never done a blog on here, but I think this movie is a good enough reason to write one.
I'm sure many of you are going out to see the movie, so I'll keep my thoughts spoiler free. So, what did I think of the movie?
I thought it was good. Not great, but definitely good
The story is pretty standard; the basic adventure quest. Honestly, it would have been boring if not for the wonderful characters that drive much of it. Both old and new. The Mane Six and Spike are pretty one point, though I think Fluttershy might have gotten the short end of the stick. I like the new characters, and I like Capper the most! The air pirates coming in at a strong second (I wonder why 
). I kinda wish Tempest and her little lacky guy were a bit closer, friend-wise. Like, I understand why, but it seemed like these two could be friends. The Storm King looks cool, can be funny, but it unfortunately just a standard villain. Even Tempest is kinda standard if only for motivation.
Other than that, everything looks great! And with many callouts and cameos littered about early one. I'd definitely recommend that you see it.
Now, the main point: Nakama is Magic.
Though - slightly - officially retired from this story. I thought I'd also give an opinion on how this movie effects it
Short answer; it doesn't.
The only key thing about the movie is the unicorn horn, and I've already decided in my world they grow back over time. But, producing magic becomes risky and hazardous. Kinda like how shown in the movie. Should if I ever restart this project and get to that point, I've got a pretty good idea on how to make up a permanent loss of horn.
I'm sure none of you really thought about it, but I wanted to leave my thoughts on this somewhere. Just in case.
But tell me,
What did you think of the MLP movie?
Personally, I think the story could use fewer songs and more story. Like, for example, a longer run-time of the Mane Six being sea ponies (you'll find out how long when you go see it.) Also, the Storm King isn't as threatening as Tirek. If the Storm King acted more like a villain than a spoiled child as well as giving him more screen time would have made him an impressive villain. But that is my opinion.
I agree a little
I don’t think the songs were bad, but more story would’ve been better. Maybe a bit more time on our new characters or the world around the Mane Six. Definitely could have been used on the Storm King.
Honestly, I don’t mind that they didn’t stay sea ponies for long. I was more interested in the hippogriff part.
