So, some people may be aware of where I stand on 2 grounds regarding MLP:

Alicorn Princess Twilight Sparkle and Equestria Girls

However, I figured it might be nice to put out a 1000 character blog post on it, allowing people to find my opinions if they so choose to.

In regards to Alicorn Princess Twilight Sparkle, I'm okay with it, and always have been. I guess I still have something instilled in me from my childhood of G3, cause I'm pretty good at "just going along with it" and not really caring much for intricate details. I have watched a whole bunch of analysis videos, which allow me to see those little details. One of the things I've noticed about these analysers is that most of them have similar opinions, only disagreeing occasionally. Most of them have noted the small detail of Twilight earning her wings, but also have paid attention to the producers of the show, who said the Princesses of the sun and moon were born alicorns, and are immortal.

So Cadance and Twilight aren't immortal, they just have the capabilities of the other 3 races. They earned their place as princesses, rather than being born into the positions. Whilst Celestia and Luna are immortal, or at least have extended life-spans, Twilight and Cadance will live and die.

Oh, and then there's the Meta reasoning. 65 episode format to allow for the easy export of the show. Give them an ending that can act as a series ending, or a move into the next season. Wouldn't want the fans to feel like it didn't really finish right?

Okay, onto Equestria Girls! The most hated of topics right now! I'm already over 1000 characters!

We should give it a chance! We shouldn't judge it before we know the full story, and we won't know until after watching the movie! Maybe it'll be the best 2D movie ever! We don't know! So far, it looks alright. It has Twilight taking on a humanised form, her friends have parallel universe equivalents, Spike is a dog, and what appears to be "Sunset Shimmer" the mysterious once student of Celestia's who appeared as a strange pony toy appears. It's made by exactly the same people who brought us MLP in the first place, sans Faust. Same music, same writers, same animators. The movie's in pretty good hands if you ask me.

So why are people so hateful of it? Why do people not want to give it a chance?

I remember some bronies saying they hated the anthro fan-art and that it shouldn't exist, and yet it's canon now. The fact that it's in a high school setting probably doesn't help much either, not to mention what appears to be a love interest for one of our favorite ponies. Yeah, it doesn't look great, but MLP:FiM didn't look good either. And if you are so off put by the humanoids and "love interest" then that's fine. You don't have to watch it.

You can do whatever you want, and I can't force you to see everything my way, but I hope this puts things into perspective...

This entire blog entry is 2339 characters... So if you didn't read it all, I don't blame you!
