The reason being is that using art style as justification for your argument that something is infringment in a court case would end very very badly for a ton of people and businesses.

I didn't say that was the justification for my argument, simply one of the many reasons why they would win combined with the stealing of concepts, designs, etc. It would only end badly for bronies, who will still watch and buy MLP shit anyways so no real loss there.

It wouldn't just fuck over mlp fans wanting to create fan games, it would fuck over everyone, businesses included.

And Hasbro did not give a single fuck that day because they would still win and they would be in no way effected.

I doubt it's going to be like that at every movie theatre. Especially if my cousins in Detroit are anything to be believed. (Where the kindergarteners shouted "BOOO" when someone mentioned My Little Pony and saying you liked it was tantamount to social suicide.)

But the ones where it is going to be like that, my god. We can now safely say bronies ruined something for little girls.

Picture the three key groups of MLP fans: little girls, "bronies" (i.e., adult male aficionados of the show), and furries. Now, picture all of those people intermixing in the same dark movie theater.

Oh my sides! I feel like 45-65% of bronies will refuse to pay for this movie in theaters on principal alone. I know I'm not.

The reason why it would fuck over everyone is that if art style could be used as a reason for justifying a infringment claim it would screw over almost all of mass media. Imagine a world where someone could go for a song, "well their style for the song is similar to mine so it's infrignment" or a for anime, "well their style for drawing is similar to mine so it's infringment". If such a thing were to fly legally in courts you would see ironically the RIAA swoop down and try and hit it so hard that whoever would pull them out from going apeshit on it would be crowned the kind of england. What I am getting at is if art style could be used to justify a infringment case then unless your art style, music style or what have is truely unique then someone could fuck you over. On the downside it would fuck over Hasbro as well since they don't own the rights to generation 1. On the plus side that destroy generic boy bands for not being unique enough to stand out from the others.

Tl:dr; Problem with your logic: My little pony friendship is magic is the fourth generation of the franchise -> Hasbro doesn't own the rights to generation 1 -> Therefore by your own logic My Little Pony Friendship is magic is infringment.

Eh, I'm not going to see it cause the movie theatre is a hour away.


Also is it just me or are bronies the only group that majority even knows the movie exists? Like if you ask the average kid, "Hey are you excited about the new my little pony movie?" chances are they didn't even know about it.

You're probably right about that. I haven't seen any commercials for it aside from on The Hub and The Hub is no Disney Channel or Nickelodeon.

Yeah even my nieces and nephews didn't know there's going to be a movie, and I got them to almost religiously watch the show like crazy.
"So is your dad going to take you to watch the movie in theatres?"
"THERE'S GOING TO BE A MOVIE?!!!"

That's what I am thinking as well. As annoying as advertising can be, even though it's my own career field, it is a huge part of industry and in order for a business to be successful people HAVE TO at least be aware of the company of the product that is being sold. In this case the product is a movie. The problem is nobody, except a non-target demographic group whose majority of members aren't even going to watch it, knows about the movie. Basically as someone in the advertising field if you want people to buy your stuff you need people to be aware of your products that you sell.

It may be a good movie, but it's going to be a snowball's chance in hell of being a financial success.

Tl:dr; If your customers don't know of your product's existence then they can't buy it.

I have a free ticket so I might see it if it comes to my theater, especially since that would piss my sister off. (No, I'm not gonna go into why it would).

If someone wants to support Equestria girls the best thing they can do is go to the movie in the movie theatre and buy the toys.

If someone opposes Equestria girls the best thing they can do is not go to the movie and not buy the toys.

If someone wants to support the movie and doesn't go to the movie in movie theatres or buy the toys you are not supporting the movie.

If you oppose Equestria girls and go to the movie in theatres or buy the toys you are supporting the movie.


In the end money talks.

You know...that was very true to the characters in my opinion. Made it all the more funny.

I finally read MLP #7. Have to admit Nightmare Rarity is kind of saving this arc for me. I think we know how it's going to play out, but it's clever that because Nightmare Moon has Rarity the pones can't use the elements. That scene where Spike broke out of the illusion was pretty awesome.

Can't wait to get my mitts on that first trade!!!

Did you just not like them orrrr?

I read a lot of comics and I can vouch for the first arc being legitimately awesome. The artwork was fun and expressive, the layouts were really great, and the writing felt right in line with the show. The second arc slipped a little, but it's picking up steam.
