I love how Applejack manages to bring in some good old logic and defuse the situation. And that Rainbow shows how strongly she cares about social issues. Rarity still at it with a sort of eventualist attitude towards love. Not quite an expert, but a strong believer. Twilight's cold dissection of a movie for it's redeeming qualities and offering a logical opinion. Pinkie seemed great until after thinking about the message. Fluttershy gladly layed a helping hoof, even if just inn understanding. Superb characterization.
Wow, almost forgot spike. Even though he'd probably be the most affected by such a message. He was kinda just... there. Not that I blame him, he wouldn't really have much of an opinion in any direction I think. He's just a baby.
Hmm…yeah, I agree with Rainbow here. The others have their points, but that doesn't change the fact that it seems like a disappointing (and possibly racist?) way to end the movie. Plus, setting each other up with the 'clones' of themselves rankles because does that imply they only loved each other for how they looked in their respective trans-species forms?
Plus, how do we KNOW the two towns were maybe in parallel universes? Sure, this is a world where magic portals exist, but species-changing tunnels are also just as plausible. How far apart were these towns? Separated by a mountain range, or continents, or what? Did the two of them ever check a map to see where their towns were in respect to one another? If they were in the same world, then the issue could have been resolved by them just traveling to see each other normally. It might have taken longer--assuming the tunnel provided a magic shortcut--but then they could have been together as themselves.
Assuming, of course, it WAS in the same world. If it wasn't, then yeah, all bets are off, though I'm not sure if that makes the ending any better.
I like this story and the messages it conveys. I'm surprised it's not complete though. Where can this story go for here?
I feel like this is a thinly-disguised critique of a film you watched and hated, and the conversation you had with your friends.
I like the whole 'Agree to disagree' theme, but I feel like there is an undercurrent of racism through the entire story that they are just shrugging off. The discussion they were having was deeper than movies, and yet Rainbow was brushed off, because she was the vocal minority.
I'm going to check if this story has a dark tag, because it raises a lot of questions about the world they live in.

Yes, this moderately opinionated, dry-humored, job-holding, problem-solving, Crystal Empire-saving "baby" has never had a single opinion about anything. But if we're being honest, that's only because he doesn't provide the same [metaphorical] mental injection of feminine cuteness as the ponies, so nobody wants to get far enough into his head to do much with him.
the right stallion?.........

As an amateur movie critic, I can vouch that the worst place you can mess up in a movie is the ending;
Bad Beginning: Movie's off to a rough start and might make people change the channel, but makes up for it with better middle and ending.
Bad Middle: Best place to mess up as you already got the audience hooked with the beginning and you already have a good ending upcoming.
Bad Ending: Congratulations; You just utterly wasted the audience's time!
The best analogy would be this;
It won't matter how good the beginning and middle were, the ending is the last thing the audience remembers (as it's the part the movie's building to) and the part that will stick with them most. So if you buck up the ending/payoff, the entire movie fails as a result.

Okay, I can understand how that came off. My bad. But I didn't necessarily mean that he had no opinions, just that his on love specifically are still developing. They even stated directly he didn't have much interest in the lovey dovey. I didn't mean to disparage Spike. I just don't want to imply what his views might have been because they're very susceptible to change.

It is marked as complete.

Not hated, but there is a movie this is transparently based on. And ironically no on the second part. This is meant to be open to interpretation.

My worries that were gonna pair human Twilight with human Flash in Friendship games.
6389887 I totally agree with you! It's one thing if the film has a weak hook or takes a while to get started, I know at least one film like that that by act 2 was amazing and worth watching. But there are some films that are supposed to be "Epically good" where because the writers had to add something stupid in the last twenty minutes, the entire film is ruined for me!
While I see Rainbow’s points, Rainbow is (and well every pony in the story to one extent or another are) taking things of the story out of their context and in the case of Rainbow Dash is imposing her experiences into someone else’s narrative.
Also telling Scootaloo to never see it, that’s rather authoritative. What if Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle see it and discuss it, Scootaloo will be left out of the discussion and can only cite the extremely bias antidote that Rainbow Dash provides her and that’s assuming Rainbow Dash does. What if it is used by Cheerilee as a teaching tool to show changing views on relationships as an ‘at this point in time views were X way’ thing. Now she can not recommend the movie, but to tell Scootaloo to not see is WRONG.
