Is it me, or did they spend more time designing and animating the plethora of side characters, than making the actual ponies? Who somehow look worse than they do in flash and I like how they look in flash. It's like the people behind the film really wanted to make another movie and the pony aspect was shoehorned in.
Heck, even in the series all the side characters and villains are more interesting. It's the only place where any shred of creative freedom is allowed, everything else are unchangeable sacred cows.
Definitely in the show it is always refreshing to see more unique character models, or really anything that isn't a carbon copy of the mane six and the majority if background characters introduced in season one. I will give credit that it does appear they tried to vary the mane six a little for the film, like how Pinkie is a bit more chubby to me while RD might be but more streamlined, though they all look oddly more chunky in this style in general.
Frankly, they do look cute but are off model from the show just enough to cause an uncanny valley effect that I cannot get past. Not to mention the shading is god awful.
I thought McCarthy already left. Vogel yes, he should get fired, he's a shitty writer and all he cares about are the huge fucking paychecks he gets from his half-assed work on the series.
I agree, it's going to be a flop, not just box office wise though, I found out the story and I believe critics aren't going to take too well to it too.
So... three years of work for a movie that looks like late 90's CGI, has ponies that move like Gumby and once again makes fun of Spike by treating him like a pet instead of a person. Oh, and of course Poochie had to be on it, because they can't shove her down our throats hard enough.
Yaaa... no. No, I think I will not watch this movie after all. Can somebody please give me back the 3 years of my like I wasted waiting for this?
I'm more interested which outsourced studio did what. 2D looks like Korean or Philipino handiwork, 3D looks like it got sent to Bumfuckistan with a $1000 budget and a dusty copy of CAD from 1995.
Well, I'm mostly optimistic from this trailer. It certainly seems like there'll be some interesting characters and plenty of fun adventure. Also, Liev Schreiber is a great character actor, so I'm pretty interested in what goes on with the Storm King. The only things that irk me is the shading (it always looks a little bit off) and the background 3D models. Sometimes they mesh alright, but a good number of them seem way too plastic compared to the more smooth 2D characters.
Also, dat blimp. Good Lord, I hope they fix that, because that looked pretty bad. Which is weird, because it looked fine when it landed and Tempest was coming out. I really hope they draw over that or render it better, because its really distracting as is.
One of the first things this trailer just HAD to show as Starlight, eh?
That was all the proof I needed to confirm this movie will have absolutely NOTHING of what made the original series so beloved and unique way back on 2010.
Waste of time, waste of money, waste of hopes. I hope this movie bombs just to remember the responsibles that they had been riding on Faust's ideas all along and once they tried pusing their own they all sucked.
Now I'd really wish Ha$bro would make Starlight into a princess.
The autistic rage from the impotent pustules on humanity's armpit, the same ones who cried foul when Twilight went full alicorn, could power all of the United States for at least a century.
Again, if you prepubescent pimples don't like Starlight, go write a strongly worded letter to Hasbro, assuming you're literate, then report back to us about how hard they laughed at your insignificance.
Starlight Glimmer (whom people can hate if they want to, you other anons, and it's stupid to insult people with autism) is going to be the least of the movie's problems...
That fucking airship tho. A newbie animator who has just grabbed Blender or Maya or some shit would make something better than that. At least the rendering. The rendering looks fucking terrifying.
This film is going to be a piece of shit. I've seen a new trailer of it that came out, and these are my thoughts on it:
Emily Blunt sounds bored and like she could care less about her role as Shadow Tempest. To quote Zac Bertschy partially, the animation is still unbelievably cheap. While other fan creations of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic are beautifully animated and colored with rich depth, My Little Pony: the Movie (2017) is stilted, ugly, and for some reason, shot in bland and muted colors, and the characters move around at a laughably low frame rate. The CGI looks like an early Playstation 2/Gamecube game and still doesn't blend in making it look like a visual wreckage, and I have a fear Rarity's just gonna be turned into a dumb and useless bitch who just whines the whole movie. Poor Tabitha, you went from voicing Toa Nokama, best Toa Metru, to this?
I also found out a leak of the junior novel and based on that, the story is the worst thing spawned in G4 MLP, and the sharp decline in quality the show's gone through isn't shown perfectly enough in there.
Meh
ReplyDelete>Muh animation style comment
ReplyDelete>Trailer didn't include best pony
The trailer is ok. Will you watch the movie in a theater?
Starring...
ReplyDeleteA bunch of celebrities!
None of whom have voiced any of the actual characters in the show for the past seven years!

ReplyDeleteCelaeno is bae. Tempest has a thing going on too.

Badly shaded 2D cutouts in a 3D background that looks completely different. Great work, Lionsgate, this look like the fucking Nutshack.
ReplyDeleteRigor mortis

You're making the right decision, but Gumby actually had fluid animation to it and smooth animation. This film's animation is stilted and laggy.
DeletePoochie only makes a cameo though from what I heard fortunately, but yeah, she sucks.
It's mostly great, but somewhat a work in progress.
ReplyDeleteI'm more interested which outsourced studio did what. 2D looks like Korean or Philipino handiwork, 3D looks like it got sent to Bumfuckistan with a $1000 budget and a dusty copy of CAD from 1995.

7/10, would jump on pirate ship again.

Lol,seriously? You need to zoom to see her for about a demi-second, then you already ragequit? xD
DeleteMy god, those Starlight haters :')
My god, those Starlight shills and their need to keep defending their beloved Poochie 24/7:^)
