Here's the thing…
What if… instead of releasing the MLP movie theatrically, it gets released on Netflix as a Netflix Original film? Maybe it could have been more successful and we could get a few sequels, even if G4 ends. (But before G5 begins)
Hear me out, Ever since films based on TV shows (such as Rocko's Static Cling and Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus) and 2D animated films such as Klaus got released on Netflix, it was successful in terms of critical reception and how many people see the film on Netflix (especially the latter), and it made me think that with CGI still dominating the mainstream theatrical industry (as well as 2D animated films such as this and the Teen Titans Go! movie underperforming at the box office), I think western 2D animation found its future in streaming, with the Nick revival films, Klaus and the fact that Viacom moved The Loud House movie to Netflix due to Mireille Soria's hatred of 2D animation (by turning Spongebob and My Little Pony into CGI films with their new films coming out)
To me, it could have been a better idea than replacing Equestria Girls with this film back in 2013. Because when people say that the film should have been released in 2013, I got frustrated because how can Equestria Girls exist when the movie should get a 2013 release instead of a 2017 release (When the fandom was still big) and not EqG?
Also, with Netflix, it can gain a lot more money than mainstream theatrical releases because MLP became niche (in my opinion) since fans can't accept change (with Twilicorn and Glimmer's redemption) and some left the fanbase.
Sure, I used the same poster from the original Lionsgate poster (as well as the textless one), but also slapped a Netflix thing in here to see what could have happened.
Sorry if I kinda ranted in here, but it's just a what if. Oh well, a man can dream.
