This means one week left to convince those who are considering seeing Equestria Girls in theaters NOT to.

One reason I often see given is that it "might" be good, so they'll give it a "chance." Here's what I think should be focused on in response to that; you can give it a chance a few weeks later when it comes out on DVD.

After all, it's not just a matter of whether or not you're wasting your own money, it's a matter of whether or not you're rewarding these companies for churning out garbage. We're not yet certain that it's garbage, but going to the movie in theaters is sending Hasbro the message that viewers will expect it to be good even if the trailer doesn't give them much reason to expect that. I don't think that's a very good message to send.

I think it's better to send the message that viewers (or at least bronies) are skeptical; that they'll rent it first, (and granted, some of them will pirate it first instead) to find out if it's going to be good rather than assuming it will be. That way, if it really does turn out to be good, you can reward that by buying the movie or something like that. Even if it does turn out to be good, rewarding that a few weeks late is better than rewarding a bad movie a few weeks earlier.

So we don't scar little girls for life and be considered pedophiles?

im not going to see it in theaters considering that it doesn't play anywhere near where i am
>>
>>11261903 (OP)
It's to late. I already got tickets on hold for me and my cousin. She is pretty amped up to see it. I'll go in with a open mind just like when i started watching MLP:FiM.
>>
I like that anon. I bet Lauren Faust don´t want us to make money to Hasbro, but she can´t tell anything because she would get serious troubles
>>
>>11261903 (OP)
It's going to be 20% cooler now, just wait!
>>
I'll see it in theatre. Then again I also work as a projectionist, so I won't pay to do so.

The thing I will miss is the obvious BS "leak" threads
>>
I checked the times via that website. Every theater I checked has the movie being shown only ONCE. Usually at Noon or earlier.

There's no way that the theatrical release will make any money, and Hasbro knows it. Trying to talk people out of seeing the movie is pointless, because Hasbro is not expecting much of an audience to begin with.

What time are you seeing it? Is it playing just once per day in your theater?
>>
>theaters

what is even the point? This is a shitty dvd special if I've ever seen one
>>
>>11261903 (OP)
The second trailer looked more promising though.

I still think you're right, i won't watch it in the theathers for 2 reasons.

1.- I also do not want hasbro to think i'll accept any shit they shit
2.-I cant

Again, the second trailer gave me more hope that this will be at least tolerable.
It looks fine
>>
>>11262008

To see it on 6/16, I'll have to drive 80 miles on an early Sunday morning. But threads like these make me feel better about going through with it, just to give the OP the middle finger.

I'm seeing it around 4pm i think. I'm not sure how many times there showing it.

Why would they bother to put the time and money into animating it in the first place, then?

I think he meant they are not expecting A LOT of money.

To hope enough little girls see it so they can sell there monsterhigh knockoff toys. There also going to be showing it on the hub sometime in the fall.
>>
>>11262140
they want to play on the level of Mattel's doll lines
>>
>>11262121
And why exactly is this "give the OP the middle finger" goal that valuable to you?
>>
>>11262134

Whoa, seriously? This is the first time I heard of a theater showing the film at that time.
>>
>>11262181
Yeah, but you still need an audience in order to use it to sell toys.
>>
>>11262140

I meant the theatrical release. The DVD release is going to make a mint, no doubt. I figure that the theatrical release exists only to hype the DVD release. Doesn't Funimation do that all the time, give their animes a super-limited theatrical release just to hype the DVD?
>>
>>11262255
I'm not very familiar with Funimation, but I suppose that strategy makes sense.

Yeah, seriously, not paying for this shit.
Might not even watch it if I download it - might just send it to the Recycling Bin over and over again and pretend I'm the chief of DHX the day before the movie ships.
>>
I plan on skipping all showers between now and then, wearing the dirtiest clothes at the bottom of the bin, gaining obtaining a fat suit, going for a long jog the day of premiere, soaking my hands in cheetoes paste, rubbing my face with grease and tomato sauce every day leading up to the premiere and leaving the resulting acne untreated, wearing a wig with an unflattering ponytail, and a fedora, talking loudly throughout the movie and recording parts on my phone, and sitting as close as I can to other people.

And I don't even like ponies.

Im torn. I kind of want to see this (U cant miss my Daugher, Rainbow Dash, in her theatrical debut), But it isn't playing close.

Should I drive an hour?

wait a second. Are there any vectors of Norman?

>>11262514
Why drive an hour when the pirate bay is a click away?

I swear, if he calls Twilight "Purple" at some point in the movie, my shit will be flipped and I'll be left on the floor giggling.
If Brad and Derpy walk together during the prom though, I think I'll cry.

Do you think someone will leak this early? Or at least upload it to TPB the day of release?
>>
>>11262836
it's possible.
>>
>>11262836
It won't ne released early unless some disgruntled staffer has a copy and becomes based.

Theatre releases have alot of protect them against early viewing

A thing about Equestrian Girls... The reason I think it looks stupid is the fact that they are humans... Purple HUMANS! And other colors too! Keeping them as their original color is just stupid looking. I think that this is the main reason people think that this movie looks so retarded.
>>
Holy shit. Why is the promotional art for this movie so damn bad?
>>
>>11263593
Because Hasbro can't into Marketing Department, so instead their intern tried to make a Mattel-styled comercial.
>>
>>11263629
Absolutely disgusting.

Not the guy you are responding to.

Doug was okay because it was a mental illness of doug's

Equestria girls looks nasty because you aren't used to seeing them human. Its that ugly transition and horrid clash of color that makes it ugly.

not the point here

i admit it requires adjustment but it doesn't look bad after awhile
