Spoiler-free TLDR: It was actually pretty good! Go watch it if you’re able and haven’t, then come back and read this.

Woke up today, saw my feed was full ‘o movie reviews. So I went to watch it.
My Little Pony: A New Generation
I decided to do it as a my-little-reaction kinda thingie, so no fridge logic, not yet.
Spoilers below here.
So in recent light of new information surrounding the mysterious new Alicorn villainess that appeared at the end of Make Your Mark and the tie-in G5 comics (featuring the return of Discord), I have formed an outlandish idea about why she picked up where the Terrifying Triad left off that may or may not be true until later installments say otherwise. Here it is:
A bit under two years after we saw the sun set on Equestria (and putting aside the fever dream of an interlude,) it is finally time to see how the golden age of Twilight tarnished into a long, dark night of Equestria’s soul… and the rise of a new Sunny era. Let’s begin.
Well, Sunny may not be my favorite Mane 5 characters, but who ever voice Sunny did a good job
I do love a good blackboard shot.
The scene where Zipp stands in front of such a board in the derelict Zephyr Heights station, while confessing her deep frustration at living a ridiculous lie, was a great scene that had me pressing the pause button and taking screen shots. What does this board tell us?
So I watched that new small horse movie. It was pretty good. I'd give it a solid 7/10. I don't feel my time was wasted, I enjoyed it. But I would probably not watch it again. (And those of you who follow my reviews, know that a 7 from me is still earned.)
The Good:
Recently I've been thinking a lot about what's wrong with My Little Pony's newest generation. Or, well, about why I didn't like it, because different people value different things in art, and what is important to some others can easily ignore. And the first aspect I want to analyse is how "My Little Pony: A New Generation" tries to talk about politics and avoid it at the same time.
…that we as a species have evolved to the point where we could produce a character as pure and adorable as this cute little peanut.
And I'm still working on the next chapter!
Before you guys get excited… NO. No, I am not planing on writing this story anytime soon. I’ve already got my hands tied with DragonHeart, Flame and Sword and The MystiKnight Chronicles. I do NOT have the time, not the energy, to write another little pony legend story.
However, just because I don’t write the actual story, doesn’t mean ideas don’t pop up every now and again. But having ideas isn’t the same as actually writing them. Or wanting to write them.

Well this is late.
After having more than enough time to think on it (as well as catch a break from life ) I can safely say that My Little Pony: A New Generation was great! And here are my random thoughts:
My review of the Magical Gallery augmented reality app.
Turns out we're gonna be getting not one, but TWO new series for the new My Little Pony generation this year!
A 2D weekly Youtube spinoff series on April 7th called My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale...
I just got word of the cast of the upcoming My Little Pony A New Generation, and I can not believe they have Sofia Carson! As you Little Pony Legend fans may recall, I picked Sofia Carson as the “voice” of Chrysalis in The Guardians of Harmony. Or at least, she would have been if I had the money… and if I owned MLP and LoK, but you get the idea. I can not believe Sofia is actually going to be part of the Pony family!
Did I predict the future?
Oh God, it looks awful and ugly, complete betrayal of the fandom, we need to retcon the whole thing andhehehehehheh...sorry, couldn't keep that up.
It doesn't look good IMO, but, like...I'm not gonna obsess over how not good it looks or anything. It's not for me, just gonna hang tight for the Netflix stuff, no skin off my nose. Simple as that.
Well, I have no plans of doing this since we didn't get enough of the Mane 5 but I want to do this anyway.
