History YMMV / MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017

** The Storm King also got some flack for resembling Tirek in appearance, and having a similar motive (stealing magic), while others were more open and interested in the character. The flack receded somewhat when his [[https://derpicdn.net/img/view/2017/2/17/1365005__safe_grubber_storm+king_my+little+pony-colon-+the+movie_spoiler-colon-my+little+pony+movie_guardians+of+harmony_toy.jpeg official toy]] was revealed, showing that he wasn't a centaur like Tirek, but more of a satyr/yeti-like creature.

** There's also Emily Blunt's character, Tempest Shadow. Some find her design interesting, others think she looks like a typical "edgy" OC, with [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver black and red color patterns]] and a broken horn.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Within mere ''hours'' of their respective reveals, characters like [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver Tempest Shadow]], [[FunnyAnimal Capper]], Princess Skystar, and [[TheHighQueen Queen Novo]] began to spawn fan art.

** Capper, the bipedal anthropomorphic cat, is so far the most controversial character to be revealed. Some find it odd to see a full-blown FunnyAnimal in the series, as opposed to the usual {{Civilized Animal}}s we see, complete with accusations of both pandering to the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom and [[FollowTheLeader trying to ride the coattails of]] ''{{Disney/Zootopia}}''. Others find the character to be interesting and unique, and point out that anthropomorphic cats have appeared in G1 in the form of the villainess Katrina as well as the IDW comic book. Some even consider it to be rather hypocritical considering nobody batted an eye towards the Diamond Dogs (though that may have been because they were more hunched over and ape-like than upright walking {{Funny Animal}}s).

* OlderThanTheyThink: A bipedal cat is nothing new to the series, as G1 had and anthropomorphic cat in the form of the villainess Katrina. Plus, the [[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW comic books]] had the cat people of Wuvy-Dovey Land (referred to as Wuv-Cats by fans) whose hometown Queen Chrysalis takes over as her new base of operations.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: A decidedly ''negative'' example. Hasbro originally approached Sony to do the distributing for the film, but Sony wanted to do what they did with the 2011 Smurfs movie, mainly the tired old "cartoon characters come to the real world and interact with people" cliche. Hasbro, likely for the better, decided to go with Lionsgate instead.
