G5 Movie Review · 9:28am Mar 24th, 2022
This is quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. Not a single second of it was the least bit decent. Every frame of this piece of shit is an abomination! There is no number low enough to rate it with, but I guess I’ll just go with 0/10!!!!!

For me, this show ended on the seventh season! after the tincture of the terrible finale of the show, it is simply impossible to continue watching MLP .
Oh wow, such an informed and intelligent statement! How about you go into detail as to why you didn't like it. What about the characters did you not like, what about the story line did you not like, etc? There is one user on here that I disagree with his views on the G5 movie. He did a blog post about why he didn't like it either but at least he gave actual reasons for not liking it rather than sounding like some unhinged individual who simply can't stand the fact that G4 is over.
My guess though is you didn't even watch the movie....you just hate anything that is not G4.

Wrong, I actually did watch the whole movie and it was absolute torture. None of the characters are lovable and the fact that it constantly tells us how much Twilight failed, while refusing to ever tell us how, is the final nail in the coffin for finding it even moderately decent. Also, the conflict was basically non-existant. That little red guy was such a horrible villain and, while I think I probably have no significant disagreements with the political views of the writers, they shove those views down your throat far too much for a “fantasy” film.

Regarding Twilight's failure, the film was only 82 minutes and they could only fit so much into it. We have a special coming up in May and then the series starts in September....that will give them plenty of time to go into what happened to cause the magic to disappear. Also, has it occurred to you that perhaps Twilight didn't have enough life experience to run the country? Perhaps she tried to force her brand of friendship on the country and it backfired....and it led to a coup?
Regarding the political agenda, this was something that everyone needed to see....xenophobia is bad, racism is bad, inciting a mob is bad. Yes Sprout isn't like G4 or G1 villains but he was more of a real life villain, that is why he rubbed some people (republiscum especially) the wrong way because he is just like them and their idol.
I get it, you didn't like it but you could at least attempt to go into detail about why you hate it instead of, "Oh it is awful, i hate it, etc."

That would be a terrible explanation and also, here’s an argument I’ve made elsewhere before: it would ironically have super racist implications. Yes, this movie that’s supposed to be all about anti-racism may be racist itself.
I mean, think it through, Twilight brought all the different species to Equestria to live in harmony with the ponies and now they’re nowhere to be seen in G5 and the world has fallen into segregation. So, what’s the movie saying? That mixing different races inevitably leads to the collapse of civilization and that only by having everyone return back to their own kids could peace be restored?
I mean, it certainly sounds to me like that’s what the film is telling us. What is this, Birth if a Nation (KKK film)? The Eternal Jew (Nazi propaganda film)? Or is it more modern, some pro-Trump anti-immigration film?
No matter how you slice it, you can’t get past it actively telling you that Sunny is in the wrong and that the racists within the film’s universe were right. I disagree with this as a real world moral, but it is what the film basically tells us, at least those of us that actually watched G4.
Besides, taking it away from its terrible real-world implications, it is still so insulting to the characters of Twilight and Celestia to imply that Twilight would fail and that Celestia would be stupid enough to put her trust in her. No, the only solution is to kill two birds with one stone and explain that it was the evil actions they did to Cozy Glow that caused all this, since that also ruined the characters.
But any decent kid already knows all that. It’s so boring! And besides, like I said, when you try to do shit like this in a sloppy manner and put it in two much of a fantasy universe where the parallels aren’t perfect, you always create problems. One major one I always have is that you’re implying a more inherent difference than actually exists.
Race is essentially non-existent in the real world and a fairly recent invention. Back in the days of Jesus, for example there were people of all kinds of different colors walking around the Roman Empire. That wasn’t how the people at the time saw their divisions, though, there’s scarcely any reference to skin color in the entire Bible. The difference of the day was tribes, religions and national origins. Humans will find ways of dividing ourselves to justify hatred of “the other”, but we need to recognize that these divisions are essentially non-existent.
Whenever you tell a fantasy story about race, you almost always give it more importance than actually exists in the real world. The different pony types are fundamentally different in a way that human races are not.
The other major problem with trying to tell a story like this is justifying the bigots’ point of view. I think that any extent that this would be perceived by a newcomer to the franchise is a stretch. Within the film itself, there’s no reason to think that segregation is good. But taking G4 into account? They’re kind of telling you that whatever happened between the two generations is something that justifies not mixing races or cultures. This is essentially what the film implies. And the longer they take to show that this is not why Twilight failed, the more they’re going to fail to shoo away the already prevalent Nazi portion of the fandom.
The thing that made it impossible for me to ever like it was the hideous animation. Who’s the idiot that thought it was a good idea to give them human looking teeth inside of their horse shaped mouth?! It looks so uncanny valley and horrifyingly unsettling!!! Not to mention their eyes, which are the definition of uncanny valley and body horror. They look like they’re piecing into your soul and they make you wonder if there’s someone in there, suffering from what Hasbro turned them into, that needs to be put out of their misery. It’s the stuff of nightmares!!!
Also, the male pony just looks disgusting in every conceivable way. And the problem with the teeth is some of the most noticeable on him. It looks like they murdered some innocent guy, ripped all his teeth out, shoved them into a horse and then stuck a mind-control device into the horse to go and greet kids at some kind of theme park from a horror film. So creepy!!!

There is a reason one has to be 35 years old to be President of the United States....and I don't think Twilight was 35 by that point. If someone younger than 35 can't be trusted to hold the executive office of a constitutional republic, how could someone so young be trusted to be the supreme leader of a country?
This is my view on what happened.
The Collapse of Twilight's Equestria
I am pretty sure there were plenty of factors that took place. Not everypony is as welcoming of other creatures as the mane six are. They never even went into how the ponies in the big cities reacted to other creatures moving into Equestria. Many ponies may have viewed the coming of the non-ponies as a threat, especially those that are less like them. Griffons for instance were known to be short tempered and grouchy on a national scale most likely and ponies likely saw them as a threat, the same goes with the yaks.
Twilight was a very idealistic pony and would go pretty far to embrace friendship on a level that many ponies likely would not. She may go as far as to put in economic policies that would benefit the other creatures out of friendship but would harm the country as a whole. And once relations between the other creatures and then the pony tribes, things are not going to go well. Instability will result and in a land that relies on magic to pretty much operate things will go south and go south quickly.
Could Twilight Sparkle have been responsible for the collapse of the country, certainly. Different domestic and foreign policies could certainly lead to problems on the home front. If you exclude the villains arising, Celestia's policies kept Equestria stable for the most part....my view is that Twilight's agenda worked for quite some time but ultimately she took things too far (special aid for non-ponies for example). If any leader starts showing favoritism for one group over another, the non-favored group will see to it that the leader is punished for it. In our world in most countries, it would be voting them out. In a land with one leader, an assassination would do the trick.
You can say this is all about race but I think everything goes much deeper. Now I know my head canon is not what Hasbro would ever use but I'm sure we'll ultimately find out what caused Equestria to become what it did.
The animation, I loved it. I am glad the special and the series will be done the same way because I couldn't imagine them any other way. I do think though that some of your griping is just because it isn't G4. Hell you could say anything after G1 is misanthropic because it didn't have humans in it....it is however you choose to look at it. The most racism I see in it is the beliefs they are known to have.....the earth ponies irrational fear of unicorns, unicorns being told earth ponies smell like rotten sardines, etc.
I'm going to keep the rest of this short. You hate it, I love it so we will never agree on this.
