    I fail to see how that is relevant. My post were directed at this fandom as a whole and not just you.

    And now you're just comparing apples and orangutans.

    No, I'm not. There is big difference between a movies staring emojies and a movie which is just an picture of an ass. You can't compare the two.

    @yamet: I understand giving a movie a chance, but this... 'movie' is something that looks like there is no effort in it nor any person caring to put effort into it. I'm losing brain cells thinking about it. Also Asmo's compassion is actually valid because it is making the point that there was no effort put into this movie.

    BTW, the concept of the Magic of Friendship among the brony community refers to promoting community and kindness to others despite issues or things they have done in the past. That has no bearing on something that as unrelated as this. This is about personal opinion on something coming out.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to chug down some Brawndo while watching a guy get kicked in the goods for half an hour.

    No, you can't. One of the is a movie staring emojies. The other one is just a goddamn picture of an ass for two hours with no plot, no characters and nothing else that a movie should have.
    I'm a little curious, is there a trailer for this movie somewhere? I mean, I wasn't able to find one and the article didn't mention it. But you've obviously seen it since you know that there is no effort put into it.

    I welcome this. If this one day happens, I'll be smiling.

    Firstly, you defeated your own argument. The very last thing you say to Asmo is the very thing this Emoji Movie is. It's about emojis and their use. Why would anyone see this brain intelligence draining garbage?

    Secondly, sarcasm aside, I don't dought there will be a emoji movie trailer. For all we know it's on Youtube right now. I still would refuse seeing any form of it. Why? Because why should we care about things you use on phones and online convos. They are there for convos, that's it. Nothing too important, nothing specail

    Where do you get this information from? You apparently know the plot of the movie and how much effort was put into it without watching the trailer (which doesn't exist).

    The emoji movie is going to be terrible.

    Do you know how I know that?

    Because it a movie. About emojis.

    You know, those silly little pictures that silly little people attach to digital messages.

    Ass is a reference to the movie Idiocracy, which shows a dystopian future America where everyone has become extremely stupid, to the point that the most popular movie of the time is literally just two hours of some dude's ass.

    Well, yes. However what people in this thread is going isn't like that at all. It's more of screaming "This movie is going to be the worst movie ever because I don't like the idea behind it". Nobody has even mentioned why they think that a movie based on emojis is a stupid idea.

    Movies like "the lego movie" and "warm bodies" was based on stupid ideas and they turned out okay. And how come no one complain about "Sausage Party"? That's a movie about goddamn food and yet I don't see any hate for it. But maybe hating on that movie isn't cool.

    @Heimdall Where The Lego Movie is all about creativity, a good message, this emoji movie looks to be made just to profit off of a cool kids' trend.
    And I've never seen Warm Bodies, or heard of Sausage Party. Sorry.

    Ah, I see. So can you back up why it looks like to be "made just to profit of a cool kids' trend"? And no, the fact that it's about emojis doesn't count.

    Yes it does. It's emoji. As a movie.

    And yet again we have come back to the argument "I don't like the idea behind it and therefore it's bad". But please explain to me how the fact that it's a movie about emojies prove that the movie is made simply to cash in on a trend.

    I shouldn't have to. For the same reason I shouldn't have to explain why playing in traffic is a bad idea, or why smoking is bad for your lungs. It's so obvious. There's no way anyone in Hollywood thought an emoji would be a good character. But it's not hard to imagine someone thinking, "Hmm, kids like emoji, let's see how we can turn that into profit."

    But I can't make you want the truth; it's up to you.

    Actually it isn't.
    Why not?
    I want the truth, however I don't want your stupid theories about how good/bad a movie you haven't seen is.
