Bump: I will move the Fantastic Beasts example to Continuity Lock-Out unless I hear anything.
Thoughts about the MLP example? I'd ask MLP cleanup but this is more a technical question about the use of the entry than the work. Should I ask them anyway?

Questions about the validity of the following Uncertain Audience examples:
YMMV.My Little Pony The Movie 2017: One reason for its mediocre reception. Fans of the show were less than impressed with the lack of continuity past Season 4 and it not doing anything the show hadn't done better prior, while non-fans who wouldn't mind or appreciate the lack of Continuity Lock-Out still had little reason to care for The Movie if they weren't already interested in the show.
Animation Lead Time meant this was due to it being written right after Season 4 and wouldn't be able to include later continuity beyond cameos if it wanted. If it was not caused by a deliberate chose by the writers on which audience to target does UA count? If not is there anything it does fall under?
YMMV.Fantastic Beasts The Crimes Of Grindelwald: A common complaint from critics, especially after the underwhelming box office receipts came back. Unlike Harry Potter, which focused on kid heroes and self-contained adventures with interesting lore and scope underneath, Crimes of Grindelwald is heavy on backstory, exposition, and lore, but does little in advancing its own story or major arcs forward. Thus, detractors of the film point out it lacks the elements that appealed to young audiences in the original films while also being downright impenetrable to anyone who doesn't have a Ph.D. in Wizarding World mythology. This is cited as one of the reasons Warner Bros. halted production on the third to give Rowling more time to figure out how to remedy this.
This sounds like it put off general audiences, but fails to explain how those it was supposed to appeal to (like those with a "Ph.D. in Wizarding World mythology") were put off by the work as well. Is there a reason they were so put off (normally don't care for the movies?) or should this just be moved to Continuity Lock-Out?
