Rainbow Rocks = Bad move?

[Tabe 216]

So its obvious that EG was not very popular amongs the fans.

 

So the question, is a sequel a bad idea?

 

I belive Hasbro knows how the movie was recived by the viewers, so they must have something really special planned for Rainbow Rocks.

 

What are your thoughts? Do you think the mane 6 will go through the portal or just twilight? And if so, what reason would there be to return to the world?

 

I have a few theories but the most interesting is this:

 

Celestia said that by travelling to that world could cause instability, now what if the two worlds "Merged"? Ponies suddenly waking up as humans and humans suddenly waking up as ponies? I know it sounds kind of messy but think about it, it would be pretty cool. But as the name is Rainbow Rocks, I don't think thats the case...

[SveciaDash 364]

It was a complete succes for Hasbro so not making a sequel is kinda stupid on their side as a buissnes. I personaly liked EG and I will probably like rainbow rocks aswell.

 

EG was good for what it was. It could've been ALOT worse

 

While Hasbro is seen as satan by most, they do care about bronies a little bit. We did get derpy back ya'know

 

Rainbow rocks is not going to have bronies in mind. Thats pretty obvious. But do expect small hints as in ''we know you're watching bronies *brohoof*'' just like EG had.

Well Hasbro is ruining the show, so imo every move they make is a bad move.

 

EG was a more of a creation for profit, not admiration, such as this sequel will be. By the profit being more of a priority, the movie will be shit, and end up in the "Never Again" box in this fandom's attic, just like EG.

[Colorful Respawn 399]

I'll go see it just for grins, but I like EG as well and will probably like Rainbow Rocks. I already hate the toy line of it though. Dang it Hasbro get your stuff together and make crap right for once! 

[Treble Bolt 1,122]

as far as the targetted demographic goes, EQG was smashing success.  A sequel was very much expected. It seems like they are making homage to Jem and the Hologams and well as KISS in my book....Kid's like musicals....and instruments....I mean...it's like K-On met High School Musical......which is scary to realize/see....

 

Smashing!

[BlinkZ 1,151]

Well, i'm not going to go watch it.  I"m going to spoil it for me.

Just seems liek a Disney rip off of high school musical + camp rock + insert other disney musicals here.  Just bleh, and the anthro still doenst make sense. the designs are horrendous.  Hell the bratz movies where better...and that saying a lot

Considering Daniel Ingram does his job right, the songs will probably be catchy. 1 song is already released in the trailer, repetetive... but catchy.

 

I for one am very much looking forward to the music of the movie, I dont expect real rock music but you know... pop songs with some guitars

The design of the humans does make sence... from a toy perspective.

So in other words Generic as hell

[Tabe 216]

Lots of feelings here. I am going to watch it but I won't let it ruin the series for me. Highschool movies sells like butter. And I have to admit, there is a special feeling to it, but its too unreal, even for MLP.

 

I can just hope there will be a "real" MLP movie with actual ponies in it. But for now I'm pretty pumped for the next episode.

[Venomous 18,813]

I really don't think another Equestria Girls movie is necessary.

 

I didn't like the first one to begin with, so I doubt i'll even consider watching this new one.

 

A bad movie doesn't need a sequel.

[Mightymags 1,053]

I don't think it's a bad move at all. 

 

It's important to remember that bronies are NOT the primary audience they cater to. So when you say their fans weren't thrilled I'm assuming you were referring to bronies. I completely agree, the movie wasn't that great and personally I won't be in a hurry to watch the sequel. 

 

However, according to my 4-year-old little sister it's the greatest thing since goldfish. The movie was a huge success in regard to their target audience, so giving them another one is a great move on Hasbro's part.

People failing to remember what the target demographic of the movies and the show are and acting like people above thirteen determine how Hasbro's business model works.

It wasnt a bad movie for what it was suppose to do, so ofcourse they will make a sequel, and probably a third and fourth movie aswell

[Lost Profile 644]

mlp i feel is going in the direction that sonic went through in 1999. sonic the hedgehog, a very popular rival to mario. had a few tv shows, one for the more little kids, another that was amazingly awesome, and then came Sonic Underground. a new idea that was VERY different from the original idea lots of fans hated it while a select few, like myself, absolutely loved it.

 

EqG is like sonic underground in more than one way. i liked the first movie so im going to give the new one a chance. 

[SveciaDash 364]

I get why alot of people didnt like EG. If you watched it to see matrix plots and sick action moves and stuff, sorry to dissapoint.

Anyone who didnt think it was a marketing move from hasbro is quite deluded

[Venomous 18,813]

It was a bad movie in my opinion because it left a lot to be desired for me.

I felt it was a missed opportunity.

If more sequels are mad, I will be sure not to watch them.

How was it a missed opportunity?

 

If Hasbro wanted to make something that was specific to bronies they would make a real MLP FIM movie. With a real plot.

[Tabe 216]

Who knows? Maybe they surpise us? Probably not, but I don't want to miss any MLP related stuff.

The design of the humans does make sence... from a toy perspective.

 

 

The music I am not worried about at all...It's the plot...or most likely solid lack thereof and animation (the facepaint from KISS) in which I'm making my refrences...

As far a kids shows go, Daniel does an amazing job, and even in EQG he did pretty good (gotta admit it)....

The human designs are meant to challenge Monster High...so there's not much to argue there from a marketing standpoint.

 

Bad move or not, I am going to watch it, and most likely buy the DVD of it....The Equestria Girl's spinoff/addon/whatnot is not the best part of what the FIM universe has given us, but I will accept it as it is a part of the FIM franchise and take the best from Rainbow Rocks never the less.

[Blackened 512]

I thought that the first film was pretty good. As for the upcoming one, I'm actually looking forward to it.

I too worry for the plot, but again if I go to see Rainbow rocks for the plot and the story, Im probably going for the wrong reasons.

 

Im not critical of the show that much so the plot doesnt matter that much to me, I was releaved when the photoshop plot in EG was resolved in 10 seconds... because I dont like when bad things happens to the good guys

[Tabe 216]

I just watched a very interesting review by a really funny guy. He had some good thoughts about it.

Pfff please 4 year olds these days could watch paint dry and think it was epic. -_- just cause it ment for younger audiences does NOT mean they ahve to do it half ass job

You realize that the whole point of a conflict right bad things happen to X character and they have to solve it.

people go ape shit saying that every conflict in EG was resolved in under 1 minute, and people dont like that, I however dont have a problem with that.

I don't think they should have made the characters into humans. THAT'S the opportunity I feel they missed.

That alone ruined it for me.

I feel Hasbro could have made a movie with the actual pony characters along with an epic plot with a villain or something.
