Okay everyone rumor has it that there is going to be an MLP spinoff with humanized ponies called Equestria Girls and it has a lot of you here freaking out alot of the reactions can pretty much be summed up by this.

So assuming for the sake of this blog that this rumor is in fact true, we are panicking over what exactly? I will admit that the premise of the show seems a bit cliched to me as the high school thing has been done to death but how many of us here honestly thought we would be here watching a show about cartoon ponies in the first place? I sure didn't and sure many of you here didn't either but you gave it a chance and ended up liking it so who knows.I suggest we all take a deep breathe wait for more info and when the time comes give it a fair chance before bashing it. I doubt this will be as good as the main series but even if it completely bombs, it will most likely not affect the main series at all so I don't think we have anything to worry about.

Still not convinced? Alright a lot of great franchises have had some spinoff that have sucked. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been around since the original comic debuted in 1984 which spawned the classic cartoon which later gave rise to the 2003 and 2012 series which are pretty awesome but even they had a bad spinoff and that bad spinoff was the short lived live action series Ninja Turtles the Next Mutation. And everyone here at least know a little bit about Star Wars, the original trilogy was awesome and though the prequel trilogy had its flaws I think it was respectable but Star Wars too had a flop and its flop was an ill fated Christmas special which you can see here if you have a spare vomit bag or are near a trashcan or at least have a bucket.

Were those things setbacks? Hell yeah they were, did they destroy their respective franchises once and for all? As Big Macintosh would say "nnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooope".
