While we're discussing the music (I totally missed the Nirvana sound, that's a "note from Ed", but now I definitely hear the grunge influence; I don't get the K/DA comparison, other than "similar beats" means someone just realized that pop songs have, well, similar beats) I did actually mean to note in the review that the movie doesn't feature any variation of the "My little pony, my little pony ..." jingle that's been there since the beginning. Yeah, I mean, now the FiM version is the one stuck in my head, but I was well aware of the other versions' jingle long before 2010, despite so obviously not being the target.
It's kind of like a Bond movie without a gunbarrel swoop; you might not notice something's missing at first, but your brain does.
