Equestria Girls 3 Might Be Sports Themed?

Recommended Posts

Now I'm not going off of much, but based on a new EQG product, me thinks EQG 3 might be sports themed. 

Possible spoilers

Notice Flutters & Pinkie in Rollerblades. Rollerblading can be considered an extreme sport. And of course there's the archery new girl on the front, and archery is a sport. 

 
EQG 3 might be borrowing from an anime trope and centering the movie around a sports festival or school competition,on either the inter-school, regional, state or even national level. A new magical artifact will probably be introduced and used as the top prize ala EQG1 or will be used as the stage for a diabolical plan ala RR. 
 
Am I looking to deep into this?

Judging from the Bows and Arrows seen with other characters/products, I can see Hunger Games and Hasbro's NERF REBELLE playing a part in the concept

I think it's too early to speculate what the next EQG film might be about, but a sports theme would be fitting, and can lend itself surprisingly well to the hinted at sciency plot point. Given that the EQG series is a parody of various competition based films, I wouldn't be surprised if sports was next.

... I was really hoping we would see an actual movie about ponies, instead of humans whom represent ponies in an alternate universe....

We are supposed to be getting that. I wouldn't put it past Hasbro to drop another EQG film too though, for bonus money.

RAINBOW DASH: THE MOVIE all but confirmed. I've been waiting years for this. Can't wait for her to go all Career Tribute on scrubs B)

 

*On the off chance this movie actually focuses on her, it'll give her EQG self some much-needed development*

 

 

 

Strikes me as a really strange direction to go, but that's what I said about Rainbow Rocks too. It'll be interesting to see what the movie's message is and how they'll tie it into some competition without making it feel like a rehash. Maybe something about finding what you excel at in particular, and how you can use it to help others.

As someone who likes sports I think it would be awesome if it was about a sports tournament. However, I wonder how they're going to pull off the magic since it's already known they only transform when they play music. If they start transforming when they play sports too the whole thing will just be a trainwreck. No amount of headcanon can possibly explain that away unless the bonds between the dimensions start to fall apart Reflections style.

Yes, that's a different film. It's supposedly coming in 2017.

Yes.

 

 

The working title for the film is Equestria Girls 3: Friendship Games. It's apparently going to be Wondercolts vs Shadowcolts.

 

Character names Indigo Zap, Lemon Zest, Sour Sweet, Sugar Coat, and Sunny Flare have been mentioned. These seem likely to be Shadowcolts team members.

 

Merchandise is set to include archery dolls and motocross dolls! I wouldn't be surprised if there were other sports too.

We know no such thing. We know they do transform when they play music, but that doesn't rule out other activities causing the same transformation.

 

They might also transform when they, say, eat asparagus. But we haven't seen them eating any asparagus, so we haven't seen that happen.

Fair enough, I guess. But Rainbow Dash does a lot of sports. I really think she'd have noticed if physical exercise triggered the transformation. Unless of course it only happens when figure skating or something.

It might just happen when the mane six (seven?) play on the same team together, or some other situation which does not normally arise.

It might. While it would be cool in a way I still think it would be rather contrived. That, though, is the opinion I already have about the whole music thing. I especially like how it's mentioned exactly once in the movie and then just accepted. Don't get me wrong, I'll accept it if it just happens, but I do hope they give an explanation this time.

Y'know, that could be a potential point in the movie. The HuMane 6 have trouble controlling their powers and they all get recruited into the sports fest due to their magic, but then became a target for cliche evil/ misguided sports team.

That might actually be interesting. Still I hope for a bit of explanation this time around. I know I'm not part of the target audience but I can't imagine the creators having no idea why things happen.

Here's another bit of evidence lending itself to the whole sports theme.

And apparently, it's going to be extreme sports.

And it looks as though we have a tentative release date in the coming autumn, presumably near the end of S5.

 

Looks like the Friendship Games title is confirmed."

Given the EG movie formula.

 

It will be a school sport's competition with Equestria magic involved. The villains will make that competition irrelevant before the final battle where friendship defeats their evil magic. The end.

It should be a fun movie; I hope at least. While Rainbow Rocks was predictable, it wasn't terrible at all and was quite enjoyable. I'm hoping for that much; at least, and my expectations for such are appropriately set. :)

Even though i'm definitley not excited for this movie, i'm going to watch it.

Sounds like me with Rainbow Rocks, and I ended up being pleasantly surprised, but then again I went into it expecting it to be terrible so that's not saying much. This time around I'm going into it with a neutral mindset. We'll never know if it will be good or not till we go see it. Of course I'm not expecting Shakespeare, but if it can continue the trend of being solid junk food for the soul that falls a little short of the best the show has to offer then I will be satisfied.

I checked some of these names and I'm surprised there hasn't been any significant male characters mentioned. Oh, wait, no I'm not.
