Going to?


You're going to have to wait for my decision just like everyone else.
Would replacing the red part with You have to alter the meaning or nuance of the sentence on the context? Thank you in advance!

The line is quoted from http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Transcripts/The_Ticket_Master

The scene is 15:06 of http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x17t2lu_my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-episode-3-the-ticket-master_fun

So there is something unintelligible here. Judging from the context , "wait for my decision just like everyone else" seems to be an obligation in the present. Could you tell me how I should interpret this?

Ah! Now I see what you are focusing on. When you look at it that way, the fact that "wait" occurs in the clause tends to neutralize the difference.
