Normally I might call you a troll and whatnot, since you simply seem to hate the movie because it exists... however... having seen the new character designs and read the likely synopsis... ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... you may be coincidentally right.
They're throwing in far too much too quickly without bothering to first build their cinematic world and mythos. They've only got 90 minutes at most to build the world, introduce ALL the important characters from the show, introduce all the NEW characters, AND tell this entire story to completion. Unless the audience already knows everything about the central characters, the land of Equestria and their capabilities, they'll be completely lost and the pace will have to be absolutely manic to cover all the bases. But if the audience DOES know everything already about the series, then they're going to be asking questions of where characters like Discord are, why don't the dragons or griffons show up, what about the Crystal Heart's power, and why they don't use the power they wielded against Discord and Tirek to stop this new villain.. unless his powers are both even MORE over-powered than a chimeric animal version of Q from Star trek: TNG and more plot-convenient than a magical power vacuum cleaner (Tirek).
It also appears to ignore almost every development in the show up to Season 6 and seems to be its own animal entirely.
It feels more in line with one of the side-alt-universe DBZ, Naruto or Bleach movies which didn't fit into the central series canon at all (and which were usually pretty bad, save for one or two exceptions).
