Keldeo the Critic- Season Six
Episode 8: My Little Pony: The Movie (2017)
"It's me! Keldeo the Critic! I review it so you don't have to!" Keldeo said enthusiastically, then let out a sigh and said, "Oh my gosh, I am so glad I'm done with that review of The Wall. I mean, it was interesting at first, and I wanted to spread a positive message, but I'm not really sure it worked all that well."
Keldeo then let out a small smile, "And ya know, seeing as how depressing and tough and crazy 2020 has been, perhaps I should talk about some more lighter topics. Indulge in a little escapism, I guess. So, why not talk about something that will really make us all smile. Like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! Specifically, the movie that came out in 2017. Why am I talking about it now?"
Keldeo shrugged and said, "Well, I did that whole special about the Top 10 Trickiest, Best, and Worst episodes of the series, so I really should address the big theatrical release that we got. I mean, it's only fair, right? I probably would have talked about it sooner if I could decide what format to do it in, but I was kinda stuck for how to do it for the longest time. But I wanted to finally give it the analysis it deserves, so I looked around YouTube for the perfect format."
Keldeo tapped his chin with his right forehoof and said, "And while I was looking, I discovered a YouTube channel called Vito. . . run by a guy named Vito. . .who reviewed the 2020 live action adaptation of Disney's Mulan in a style he called Gotcha. Basically he goes through the entire movie saying something good about the movie, only for him to yell 'Gotcha' right after it and reveal that the movie doesn't have the good thing he was gonna say and has something bad instead."
Vito: "Okay, no dragon, no cricket. Well at least they brought back the Captain character. He's one of the best character's from the original. It's great to have him back-GOTCHA! The Captain's not even in the movie!"
Keldeo put his hoof down and chuckled, "Yeah, that was a pretty funny video. But of course I'm not gonna use that format here. I mean, how could I? This movie was great. I loved it. There are so many new, genius things the writers did in My Little Pony: The Movie-."
Keldeo suddenly leaned forward and shouted with wide eyes and a scowl, "GOTCHA! I can't stand this movie! It got worse each time I watched it and gets even worse every time I think about it! There were so many stupid decisions and ideas in this movie! It drives me crazy to think about all the dumb things in this movie! They got an entire army of Bronies dying to see thins film and they couldn't write a decent screenplay for us? This movie seems to actively insult the these characters and fails to live up the show's quality!"
Keldeo sighed and used Princess Cadence breathing technique to calm himself down. Then he leaned back and stood up straight and said, "So. . .let's just get into it."
Keldeo nodded and said, "So, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is known for a lot of things, one of which being amazing original songs. So, naturally, we begin the film with a brand new song to get us into the spirit of the film-GOTCHA! It's a cover of We Got the Beat! A pop song? Why? All the other songs are original, why are we starting with a lazy pop song cover? G4 is better than that!"
Keldeo shrugged it off and said, "But, whatever. Once we get into the movie, we see that Canterlot is having a Friendship Festival, and Princess Twilight has this grand idea to align the Sun and Moon in this amazing display, and since Twilight has proven herself to be a hero and a genius, the other Princesses give the idea a chance-GOTCHA! They shoot her idea down right away! After everything Twilight Sparkle has done for them, they refuse to give her a substantial reward. But it's okay, because they let her do it at the end of the movie-GOTCHA! It's never mentioned again! What was the point of it then?"
"Well then we meet a new character called Songbird Serenade, and she's voiced by Sia. But the fact that she's a celebrity isn't shoved in our faces-GOTCHA! The pony looks exactly like Sia. She's got the hair and everything! Imagine if when they made Gazelle in Zootopia they tried to make a anthropomorphic gazelle that looked exactly like Shakira. That would've been stupid! But that's what we got here! We got Sia's pony OC. They even give her bodyguards to stand in for Gazelle's dancing tigers. That's just. . .come on!"
Keldeo rolled his eyes and said, "Well, fine then. So then we get into the conflict, where this awesome looking evil airship comes in-GOTCHA! The airship looks terrible! It's done in this awful CGI that doesn't look like it belongs in this reality at all! They would have been better off just Photoshopping Bowser's Airship into the movie!"
Keldeo shook his head and said, "But inside the airship is our main villain. She has a really good design-GOTCHA! Our villain is literally a Red and Black OC! She looks ridiculous! She has a crazy violet mohawk and a cliched evil scar on her face and this dark color scheme. She looks like she's made of plastic. Even her name is ridiculously edgy. I mean, seriously? Tempest Shadow? Son of a biscuit, are you kidding me? And we all thought Cypher Rage from After Earth was bad! And to top it all of, she looks and acts just like Kylo Ren! I'm not even joking!"
Keldeo then stepped in place a bit and said, "But, fine, cause then we get a battle scene, where Tempest Shadow sends an army of Satyrs against the Royal Guard. We see pegasi and earth ponies and unicorns, and even Luna's thestrals all decked out in armor and fighting-GOTCHA! There are NO Royal Guards! Are you kidding me?! At least in a Royal Canterlot Wedding they were there, even if they got taken out off screen! I mean, sure, Shining Armor was there, he had to be there with his wife, and he gives his all to keep Cadence safe-GOTCHA! Shining Armor is NOT in this movie! Wha-wha-WHAT!? Apparently, Cadence got to go to the Friendship Festival while the poor husband got stuck in the Crystal Empire watching Flurry Heart. It's not like the whole family couldn't have gone and left Sunburst and a bunch of advisors in charge."
Keldeo shrugged, "But the Wonderbolts are cool in the movie. We get to see Spitfire and Soarin and the rest of them swoop in for an aerial attack-GOTCHA! The Wonderbolts don't show up at all? Why do the writers keep making these pegasi look bad? This is the organization that one of the main characters aspires to join. Why would you put so much effort into making them look terrible?
Keldeo sighed, "Well, at least they got the Pillars of Equestria there. Starswirl the Bearded and them are all fighting with all their individual skills-GOTCHA! The Pillars aren't in the movie either! Why!? Why aren't they there!?"
Keldeo shook his head in disbelief and said, "Fine. No Shining Armor. No Pillars. No Wonderbolts. But at least we got Starlight Glimmer. She's arguably more powerful than Twilight and she's not afraid to use spells offensively, so she's bound to make a dent in the enemy forces-GOTCHA! STARLIGHT GLIMMER'S NOT EVEN IN THE MOVIE! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? I mean, she and Trixie have a cameo in the beginning, but they get no lines and they disappear from the film completely and do nothing! OH COME ON!"
Keldeo sighed in disappointment, "So, we've lost a whole bunch of good characters. Speaking of which, I understand why they had to write Discord out of the plot, seeing as how powerful he is. I'm so glad they gave a valid excuse for him not being here-GOTCHA! They don't even bother to give a reason for Discord not being here! There's a random Discord-shaped balloon animal, and that's it. You could've easily have him getting hit by one of those orbs that turn creatures to stone, but instead you just. . .grr. . .GAH!"
Keldeo huffed, "Well, at least the writers still know how to respect the Brony Fandom by treated fan favorite characters with respect. Like Derpy Hooves, for instance. She really shines in this movie-GOTCHA! They turn her to stone! Right after Derpy heroically jumps in to take the hit for Twilight-DOUBLE GOTCHA! Rainbow Dash pulls Twilight out of the way and just leaves Derpy to get turned to stone! It's the ultimate disrespect you could possible give a beloved character. Why? Why are these writers trying to make the Bronies mad like this?"
Keldeo furrowed his brow and said, "Okay, so the Mane Six and Spike escape by waterfall, and Tempest contacts the Storm King. And seeing as how edgy Tempest is, the Storm King must be this dark, intimidating, Emperor Palpatine-like chessmaster-GOTCHA! The Storm King is a big, dumb, goofy idiot! Dick Dastardly from Scoob! is scarier than him. The original 2D Dick Dastardly is scarier than him! The Storm King is no threat whatsoever. He doesn't even show up again until the finale, so he's barely in the movie at all. He has no presence at all. He's technically a side character!"
"Whatever, our heroes are trying to find this mysterious Hippo kingdom that Celestia mentioned before she got turned to stone, and they end up in Klugetown, where creatures are being enslaved and animals are all kept in cages. So naturally, Fluttershy goes on a little side quest to try and free everyone. We she her kindness along with the courage she's gained during the show-GOTCHA! She just looks at them and makes a comment and that's it! Our heroes could care less about all this injustice and misery going on around them!"
Keldeo turned into his Resolute Form and powered up his Secret Sword. He swung it around furiously as he shouted, "When I first saw this, I wanted to tear that horrible place apart! I can't believe our so called 'heroes' couldn't be bothered to do what was right. At least have Fluttershy do something off screen if you were worried about running time. She is the Element of Kindness for biscuits sake!"
Keldeo huffed and puffed as he powered down his Secret Sword and turned back to his Ordinary Form.
"Well, at least they gave Fluttershy lots of other stuff to do in the movie-GOTCHA! She only has one minute of screen time to herself in this movie. ONE MINUTE! Are these writers insane! There was an official popularity contest where Fluttershy was voted as Best Pony, and yet these writers just didn't take that into account when making this movie. Was this screenplay written in the Bizzarro World? I mean, Applejack must have gotten twice as much screen time-GOTCHA! Applejack got no scenes to herself at all! No special moments! No speeches! No songs! NOTHING! Why do the writers hate Applejack? First they kill her parents, and now this?! Applejack is Matthais' and my favorite pony! This stinks!"
Keldeo hung his head and said, "Okay, so they got rid of a bunch of good characters, and you gave two of our main characters the smallest amount of screen time possible. But at least we got some cool new characters. This is a fantasy setting after all with griffons and dragons and satyrs, there are tons of mythical creatures you could use. So our heroes ally with this guy named Capper and he's a really cool creature with a unique personality-GOTCHA! He's an anthropomorphic cat! He's just a cat with the personality of Nick Wilde from Zootopia! Were the writers all Elder Scrolls fans? Is that why they just threw a random Khajiit in here? And why is this movie stealing stuff from Zootopia anyway?!"
"So, it turns out Capper wanted to sell the ponies as slaves to this mole rat guy that looks like a Redwall or animated Disney villain knockoff, so they ponies fight him off-GOTCHA! The heroes don't try to resist at all! Tempest has to save them from the slaver guy by zapping the biscuits out of him. Why is the villain of the movie performing more acts of heroism than our actual heroes?"
Keldeo shook his head and said, "Alright, we're done with Klugetown. Now our heroes stowaway on a pirate ship, and then we get an awesome fight scene with these cool looking bird pirates-GOTCHA! No fight scene! It's a fake out! Rainbow Dash just sings a song and that makes the pirates turn good. Just sing a song. We're going by Care Bear logic here."
Keldeo put a forehoof to his forehead and said, "Well, at least the song is original and well written-GOTCHA! Rainbow Dash just yells the 'be awesome' over and over again. It's like she turns into a Pokemon named Awesome or something. It's the most annoying song in the movie, it just. . .ARGH!"
Keldeo held his forehoof up in front of him and said, "But I should really give Rainbow Dash credit for being so smart-GOTCHA! She makes a Sonic Rainboom and leads Tempest Shadow right to them! So now we're ripping off Dreamworks' Trolls!"
Keldeo put his hoof back down and forced a smile, "Well, fine. At least now we finally get a fight scene. It's a unicorn with a broken horn, a hedgehog, and around 20 or so satyrs against the an alicorn, Kung Fu Rarity, Applejack, a Wonderbolt, a reality warper, the Stare Master, a dragon, and whole crew of pirates. They could totally take on the villains-GOTCHA! The heroes hide in the pirate ship like cowards and then use a parachute to ditch their new pirate friends! Is A Royal Canterlot Wedding no longer cannon or something!? Did they take out over 100 Changelings in hoof-to-hoof combat? Did these writers never see the show?!"
Keldeo groaned and said, "Okay then, so we go back to the smarter side where Tempest takes the pirates in for questioning in order to find out where Twilight is headed-GOTCHA! She just blows up the pirate ship and leaves! Why did she do that? Just to be evil! What sense does that make?"
"So our heroes make it to Mount Aris where the Hippogriffs once lived, but then get sucked down into a whirlpool. So Twilight casts a spell that gives them air bubbles-GOTCHA! Twilight just lets everyone drown! She's supposed to be this genius, powerful Princess of Magic, but she somehow doesn't know any spells that can save people from drowning because apparently this movie wasn't dark enough even though for all we know Tempest just murdered a bunch of friendly pirates. Great! Just great!"
"So instead the heroes are given air bubbles by Seapony Princess Skystar and is taken to the Seapony Kingdom of Seaquestria, populated by Hippogriffs that used a magic pearl to turn themselves into Seaponies to hide from the Storm King. We then meet the sweet and kind Queen Novo-GOTCHA! The Queen is a selfish jerk! She doesn't listen to anyone, she's not very nice, she treats her own daughter like garbage, and she only cares about herself and her seaweed wraps! She doesn't care at all that her friend Celestia is a statue and countless ponies are being enslaved. She's just a terrible character!"
Keldeo shrugged, "But at least we get some good looking seapony designs for the Mane Six. Spike even gets turned into a sea dragon-GOTCHA! He's a stupid pufferfish now! First a dog, now a pufferfish! I am sick and tired of the writers constantly mistreating Spike. He is Twilight's first and best friend, and he is the only one who can keep her sane. Give the guy some respect and stop treating him like a pet."
Keldeo sighed in relief and said, "Well, at least Twilight has finally accepted that Care Bear logic rules in this world. So she tells Pinkie Pie to sing a song, and it convinces Queen Novo to give them the magic pearl so that they can turn into something that can defeat the satyrs-GOTCHA! Twilight wanted Pinkie to distract everyone so she could steal the pearl! So now Twilight is just a thief! This feels like something out of Friendship is Witchcraft. The way she sneakily disables the security system-DOUBLE GOTCHA! She just tries to grab it without even checking for any traps or alarms. This is just sad."
Keldeo looked rather annoyed as he continued, "So of course Queen Novo kicks them back up to the shore, and Pinkie calls Twilight out. So then Twilight calls everyone else out on how none of them were taking the fact that their nation was invaded and their friends and families have been enslaved seriously. So of course they all feel guilty for driving Twilight to this point-GOTCHA! They refuse to take any blame and Pinkie just goes on and on about how it's all Twilight's fault. Nevermind Rarity almost letting Capper sell them into slavery, nevermind Rainbow Dash signalling Tempest, nevermind Fluttershy and Applejack not doing anything; it's all Twilight's fault. Oh for Arceus' sake!"
Keldeo frowned and said, "So now we're just redoing both Lesson Zero and that ending to A Royal Canterlot Wedding Part One, while at the same time ignoring the battle in Part Two. Twilight's friends don't care about her again. Great. This couldn't get any worse-GOTCHA! It gets worse! Twilight threatens to blast Pinkie Pie's face off! Eh-you-what!? I know many Bronies dislike Pinkie's flanderization to the point that they'd want to shoot her in the face, but that doesn't mean we want to see Twilight do it! You can have Twilight yell at Pinkie or insult Pinkie or renounce their friendship, but you don't have Twilight Sparkle threaten to shoot her friends in the face! That is so out of character that it once again reminds me of Friendship is Witchcraft!"
"So Twilight's friends ditch her again and let her go off and cry. But at least Spike is loyal enough to stay by her side so when Tempest shows up to capture her Spike can jump into action-GOTCHA! Spike is useless and Twilight is easily captured and taken away by Tempest."
"Speaking of Tempest, we finally get her backstory through a song. Now, Open Up Your Eyes is REALLY good. We see a flashback of the backstory, and it's a new direction for this series-GOTCHA! It's the same as Starlight Glimmer's backstory! Just replace 'I lost my friends because of Cutie Marks' with 'I lost my friends because I broke my horn'. Why can't these crazy mares just find new friends? Why do they immediately jump to turning evil and wanting to take over the world? They are both insane!"
Keldeo shook his head in disbelief, then he said, "Okay, so Spike and the other five ponies want to save Twilight now, but they need help. So they decide to go get help form the yaks, the Changelings, and Dragon Lord Ember-GOTCHA! They never even bring their super powerful allies up! It's like they don't even exist! At least give an excuse as to why they couldn't have got them to help. Instead they get help from Capper, Princess Skystar, and the pirates who somehow survived getting blown up. Fine."
"So back in Canterlot, the Storm King drains the four Alicorn Princesses' magic with a magical staff. Now, obviously an artifact this powerful needs some explanation. And it turns out that it was created by Lord Tirek's brother Scorpan out of a branch from the Tree of Harmony-GOTCHA! The staff's backstory was scrapped! We know NOTHING about this staff. We don't know who made it or where it came from or how the Storm King got it. NOTHING! I don't even. . ."
Keldeo shook his head yet again, and then he said, "Alright, the heroes arrive and we finally get a really short fight scene against the satyrs, so Tempest asks the Storm King to use the stolen magic to fix her horn so she can fight them easier. Of course the Storm King was lying, so he cleverly tells her he'll do it after she's beaten the heroes-GOTCHA! He flat out tells her that he used her! What an idiot! Does he not realize how strong Tempest is with a broken horn! She's beaten up creatures much bigger than either than them and can shoot deadly lighting. What a pathetic villain! And Tempest suspected he'd pull this all along-DOUBLE GOTCHA! She acts like this is the most surprising thing in the world! How did she not see this coming? How long as she been working for him? What made her think that she could possibly trust this guy?!"
"So Tempest nearly gets thrown off the balcony to her death, but Twilight is freed during the battle and saves her life. This convinced Tempest to switch sides and she fights the satyrs-GOTCHA! Tempest just goes off in a corner and does nothing. Fine, who cares."
"Then the ponies launch themselves into the room with a cannon and the staff gets thrown up into the wall. So Rainbow, Twilight, and Fluttershy all fly up to grab it-GOTCHA! They stack on top of each other reach it because. . .because. . ."
Keldeo looked utterly lost as looked around with wide eyes and said, "I don't know! Symbolism, maybe? Cause that's more important than the out of control hurricane tornado that's destroying the world right now?"
Keldeo shook off his bewilderment and said, "But you know what? Credit where it's due. We all went into this movie knowing that Season 8 was coming and was going to take place after this movie, so it would be super insulting to have a death fake out for any of the Mane Six-GOTCHA! Twilight gets sucked into the tornado along with the Storm King and everyone acts like Twilight's dead, and it's super dramatic and dragged out super long and played completely straight! I wish I was lying right now, but no! The writers really do think we're that stupid! BISCUITS!"
Keldeo groaned and said, "So Twilight flies back down with the staff like she's an angel, but then the Storm King tries to turn them all to stone. But Tempest jumps in to block the attack and both she and the Storm King are turned to stone so the heroes can change her back and lock up the Storm King so they can reform him like Discord-GOTCHA! They just let the Storm King fall of the balcony so he can hit the ground and die! So the villain that barley did anything and was silly and goofy gets murdered, while the villain who spent the entire movie acting like a total psychopath and betrayed her own race gets rewarded. Either reform both of them, or reform neither of them. This is the same double standard that made everyone sympathize with Gozy Glow and ruined the Season 9 Two Part Finale."
Keldeo suddenly became sheepish and said, "Oh. Wait. I forgot about that scene where Capper tells everyone about how the Storm King invaded his race's kingdom and brutally destroyed everything, enslaving all the cat people and brought his civilization to a halt. So I suppose that makes it better-GOTCHA! That's not in the movie! The only way you could possible know this is if you read the comic book that came out to go with the movie! You literally have to seek out a piece of media that's not all that easy to find in order to understand this movie properly. What is this, paid movie DLC? If I bought the ticket or DVD or digital download for the movie, then I should be given the full story. Why are you hiding important information from us behind a paywall? You greedy, dirty biscuits! And I know you could always look it up for free on a Wiki, but you can't do that while you're watching the movie, and it's not like you would know to do that during your first watch. It should have been in the movie. It would've taken two minutes!"
Keldeo lowered his head, looking like he was about to bang her head against the rock platform he was standing on. Instead he raised his head back up and said, "Okay then, it's time for the classic My Little Pony ending. Twilight uses the staff to free everyone who got turned to stone, rebuild everything the satyrs destroyed, and even fixes Tempest's horn-GOTCHA! Her horn never get fixed! But apparently that's okay because she uses her broken horn to make pretty fireworks! This series has this insane running theme that physical disabilities are somehow a good thing. First with Scootaloo, and now with Tempest. This is horrible! And it's wrong! If you walked up to a blind person or paralyzed person or a person who had their arm sliced off and told them that they're 'still awesome', they'd call you a sociopath and probably throw the nearest heavy object at you. This is a terrible moral, My Little Pony. There's a reason why countless scientists are working on prosthetic limbs and cures and work around for blindness and deafness. Stop telling kids that being disabled is a good thing. It's not! Ask any disabled person and they will tell you that it sucks! Yes, overcoming one's disability is awesome and shows how determined they are; but any person would much rather be healed so they could focus their determination on something better."
Keldeo stood gasping for breath for a moment, then he said, "Okay, so then the Sia pony sings a song, we learn the Kylo Ren pony's real name, and then we get the credits. Finally! It's over. Nothing bad can happen now-GOTCHA! Discord is in the credits! This means that he probably knew that Fluttershy's life was in danger multiple times, and he did nothing! Another reason to hate Discord! Or, I don't know, maybe John de Lancie saw the script and realized how terrible it was and refused to be a part of it. Whatever."
Keldeo clenched his teeth and said, "And you know what makes it even worse? The fact that this film made Hasbro soooooo much money in spite of everything-GOTCHA! The film was a huge disappointment! It only made $61 million, while The Emoji Movie (2017) made $217 million and The Boss Baby (2017) made $528 million! That stupid movie about a talking baby that wears a suit and made an offensive joke that blatantly insulted Christianity totally destroyed My Little Pony! How in Arceus' name is this even possible! There are hundreds of thousands of Bronies who make analysis channels, write fanfiction, make gorgeous museum worthy fanart, and go to massive conventions. Combine that with the millions of children who love this franchise, and this film should have been record breaking! Hasbro had a literal gold mine, and they screwed it up so badly that they couldn't even beat The Nut Job 2 (2017)! I don't care that the film made a profit. This movie was still a failure! These writers cannot write a movie to save their lives. Even when they're forced to stay in Equestria and not go to the Equestria Girls universe, they still can't make a story with any creativity or new view points or perspectives. Instead they just did a mashup of Lesson Zero, A Royal Canterlot Wedding, Twilight's Kingdom, and The Cutie Remark; while at the same time stealing from Zootopia and the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. WHY!?"
Victini flew over and rang a Soothe Bell in Keldeo's ear. This caused Keldeo to let out a sigh as he calmed down a bit.
"You know, Keldeo," Victini said with wide eyed innocence, "The movie wasn't bad. I mean, it was an okay film."
"That's the problem," Keldeo said with a frown, "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic isn't supposed to be okay. It's supposed to be awesome! It's a franchise about colorful ponies learning about friendship, and yet it has enough incredible characters and morals and adventure and action and awesome mythical creatures that brought people in. Again, we got countless Bronies making analysis channels, making animations and fan games, writing songs, making incredible fanart, filling FimFictionNet with honest to goodness epic stories; and yet the writers failed to impress them. Well, they couldn't impress me either. Yes, as a random kids' movie, it's okay. But it doesn't live up to the standards of the show, and it's kind of a betrayal to the Brony fandom. This show would have never gotten to Season 7 without the Bronies, so the least they could've done was make the big, grand G4 movie with an older audience in mind. Instead, they just made another kids movie that fails at characterization and just ignores parts of this show and its world that we've grown to love. I know it looks like I was too hard on this movie, but when you got something as big as My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, there's no avoiding it. Of course people are gonna be passionate about it and expect the writers to give it their all, and I really don't think they did."
Victini shrugged and said, "Okay, but what should they have done? How should this movie have gone."
Keldeo smiled a wide, eager, excited smile and said, "Well, come back after the break, and I'll share with you and our audience an outline for the movie we should have gotten!"
We'll be right back!
