As a vegetarian who loves Sunset, it's probably logical for me to find it offensive. But, honestly, I don't. I just find it dumb. Her mane doesn't even look that bacon-y in the first place. Did the fans come to this conclusion just for its color? Yellow and red somehow represent sun to me. Plus, I never really got these nicknames that are based on some "connections" that are entire physical.

Hmm. A Mary Sue who brought chaos to an entire town by enchanting her doll, just to write a school report? I don't think so. Yes, she's the show's main hero, and it's logical that she sometimes appears flawless. But she isn't. She worries too much, often overreacts, wants everything to be in order way too much etc. She sometimes gives up hope on both herself and her friends. She finds it hard to accept opinions that differ from her own. She's rather stubborn too. When she isn't willing to listen to her friends, she just doesn't. Instead, she just sits with her books and mumbles "Aha". I was actually glad to see her becoming an alicorn princess the way she did, as it kind of came out as a logical conclusion for a Princess' prized pupil (Celestia could even be considered goddess, actually). No, I don't think that was rushed. It took three seasons. She did quite a lot throughout that time. Just as her friends. And I'm glad she decided to stay in Ponyville with them, and continue being the Princess of Friendship. She kept on her modesty and compulsive nature, and I don't actually think she changed at all. And I'm glad that's the case, I was a bit worried about her development after the Season 3 finale, though I loved it.

Unrealistic personality? So, I guess all of us INFPs have unrealistic personality? It's fine though, but I don't find her personality unrealistic at all, and I relate to her personality-wise a lot (to Twilight, I relate in other aspects mostly), and I know some other people do too. Many actually. I'm not as shy as her (though, I used to be even worse, and even now I feel very anxious at social gatherings), but I'm also overly-sensitive, and sometimes way too jumpy about things that normal people wouldn't even notice. I'm also very empathetic and adore animals. Blah, blah. Ironically, I was almost never said to be "cute", even less "adorable". Never mind, back to the question and topic. I will be honest and say - I'm pretty sure you are not the only one who doesn't find her cute. I personally do, but I kind of think it's becoming overused. And I get why you are so frustrated about everyone saying that she's "the best pony" for being cute and adorable, I never liked character just for that aspect as well. I always seeked something more in them, and was generally more personality-oriented. But I do think she's a good character. Not the best out of mane 6, but still good. Probably because I relate to her so much, or because she actually can be assertive when she needs to be. And she's always there for her friends. And she's somehow innocent and pure. And, honestly, I don't find the moments they showed in that video that cute at all. Probably because I'm so used to her being cute, I found it sweet, but nothing like "OMGGGG, SHE'S SO CUTEEE, I'M GONNA DIEEE!" And I think that "Yay" has been overused to hell, it's gotten so annoying. It was awesome and super cute at that moment, but they started putting it in totally wrong places, and it started feeling forced, and fans are using it everywhere... You get the point. And yes, some other character had their awesome cute moments too, that beat hers! I actually find Pinkie cuter than Flutters in general, but others have their moments too - especially Rainbow Dash and Twilight. But, she's still awesome.

Aww, it's finally time to look forward to Season 6! Of course, we can daydream however we like, it's very likely that most of our wishes won't come true anyway. Anyhow, this is what I'd like to see: Starlight Glimmer. I'm not sure weather as a mane character or just reoccurring one, though. Depends on her development, I guess. At the moment, we practically know nothing about her, and therefore, I can't be sure how she'd fit in the main cast, especially as a "newbie" among the friends who'd been together for five seasons. But, if they do it fine, it's acceptable. Even though, I don't believe that will happen, honestly. However, she definitely needs a few episodes dedicated to her, so that we get to know her better, understand her motives and see her struggles about her past. But, please, not Sunset Shimmer copy (I love her, but I don't like repeating stories, since every individual is different, and it's rather boring to see the same thing happening over and over). Cutie Mark Crusaders. Now that they have new mission on their shoulders, I bet they'll be more interesting. But I hope their episodes won't be only "Crusaders of The Lost Mark"-like (even though I adore that one), about them helping others, but also about their bond, about each one of them and their personal struggles etc. And yes, Babs Seed, please! She became an official member of CMC a long time ago, and since then we only saw her once. I wonder what happened to that Manehatten brunch of CMC too. Had she started it? How is it going? How many members does it have? Blah, blah. Celestia episode! No matter how much I prefer Luna, I want to see Celestia in more realistic manner. She's not only a ruler of Equestria, but also the mentor of the main character, and still she is completely underdeveloped! And it's been five seasons. I want to know more about her personal life, struggles, probably relationship with Luna... Maybe flashbacks of their childhood too. And maybe seeing her getting angry or something, she always seems way too calm. New lands, unexplored areas, places outside of Equestria, Zecora's family etc. And new animals we never saw earlier which I'm sure exist! And probably other types of ponies as well. Shining Armor and Cadance's foal appearing more than once and, at least indirectly, serving some purpose in the show. I really don't want her to appear just to appear, with no point (or with selling-toys-point). Sunset Shimmer coming for a visit or to help Starlight with her problems would be awesome, but I know it won't happen, since I'm pretty sure they want to leave her off the show. Nah, I can dream, right? Diamond Tiara episode. Now that she's reformed, I would love to see how she's used to her "new life", how she was accepted by both her friends and family, weather she misses her snobbish self, what she regrets the most etc. A "nice" episode about Mane Six and Spike simply having fun and enjoying themselves together. It doesn't have to be Pinkie Pie planned party, it can be a slumber party (has Twilight even organized those after Applejack and Rarity one?), time on the beach, camping... anything. Just some private time for them to bond. Seems like we've been lacking it lately. Of course, with each of them being themselves. Spike actually getting an episode of his own that doesn't make him look dumb. Seriously, he's awesome, but almost each of his episodes was awful, and I feel sorry for that, he needs to be developed better! Rarity actually expressing her element for once, but not by making dresses. Discord. Pleeeasee, give us more Discord. He's supposed to be a close friend of Mane Six, and he still hardly appears. He could cause some chaos for his own will again, but of course, not the kind that could ruin Equestria. I couldn't get enough of Luna episodes too, but, if I have to choose, I'd rather have a Celestia one this time still, or about the two of them equally. Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns! Maybe Twilight would come to visit them, or give them a lesson, or even serve as a teacher while Celestia is ill, away or something. I always wished to see how it feels like to go there, and I'm sure Twilight would be of help to them. I guess there are many more things I'd like, I'm just not able to remember all of them now xD

I'm a great fan of the show (and I'll probably always be), not that much into fandom, but... Yes, I'm a brony (pegasister) <3

Alright, I finally gave this movie (about 4th in total) re-watch yesterday, so I guess I can give a nice review now. Of course, I'll miss something, as I've probably missed something while watching too, but... nah. To begin with, I love Friendship Games muuuuch more than Rainbow Rocks, which I see is a pretty unpopular opinion here. Not to be taken wrong, I really love Rainbow Rocks, much more than original movie, for sure. Sirens were awesome (I want to hug Sonata <3), and Sunset Shimmer was as well. Even though it hurt me seeing her having such hard time fitting in, even among Rainbooms, I thought it was much more realistic than them accepting her right away after all she did to them. Never mind, this isn't the topic about RR anyway. Back to FG, or at least, its most important points. I was skeptical when I heard the concept of "evil Twilight", but now... Sci-Twi might be my favorite character in the whole franchise. I might actually like her more than her pony counterpart, which I never thought would happen, since Twilight has a special place in my heart since the first episode. But Sci-Twi... She was such a sweet, innocent, nerdy girl who actually wants friends, but was always an outcast, just like Principal Cinch said. She was in the place where these qualities were definitely not reputable at the very moment, which made her feel incredibly insecure and awkward. That's something I can relate to a lot, so I really know how she felt. It was nice to see that she wasn't as competitive as her classmates were, she literally only participated in the games because she was blackmailed into doing it. It was obvious that all she wanted through the Games is to see them end. Literally. She didn't enjoy a moment, and Cinch realized that and took it to her own advantage. I also loved her interaction with Rainbooms, and how she had no problem talking to them, despite knowing that she's from the other team and that they have quite good reasons not to like her. Do I have to mention that she's so adorable with that bun, glasses and in school uniform!? <3 Sunset Shimmer is the second most important character, in my opinion. She was amazing here as well and I love her deeply. She was finally accepted by everyone at CHS which was lovely to see, but it was also hurtful to see how much she still blamed herself. She wanted to help, but mainly because she knew that it was her responsibility that magic even is in the human world in the first place. She had almost no confidence in her own abilities, and therefore kept trying to contact Twilight, which frustrated her even more - Princess didn't respond, and, actually, seemed completely unreachable. Her face when she saw Sci-Twi and thought that she was pony Twilight was sooo adorable, I felt sorry for her! Anyhow, I'm glad it was her who actually took the role of the leader, in absence of Twilight, She was the one who definitely knew most about magic in the group, since she was a gifted unicorn from Equestria, and also a Celestia's student. She didn't only "come from the world of magic", she was actually studying it, pretty seriously. Plus, the fact that the whole group actually trusted her as their leader showed that they finally accepted her completely. I loved how she found Friendship Games "silly" and didn't understand the point of all that rivalry, because that's how I feel about school rivalries as well. Pretty much, that was one thing she and Sci-Twi had in common. But, unlike Sci-Twi, she actually wanted to compete and represent her school in its best light, alongside her friends. I loved when she showed her "darker side" while yelling at Twilight, and how she ate herself up after that, after she realized that she overdid it and hurt Twilight's feelings. Other Rainbooms were awesome as well, and finally each of them had their time to shine! Somehow, in the Equestria Girls and Rainbow Rocks, I felt like Twilight and Sunset got all the spotlight, and the other girls were just there as additions, who would eventually just say some lines that are usually forgettable and not at all that relevant to the plot. This time, it wasn't the case. Probably because of that "pony up when you show your element" concept, they all had to express it somehow, and actually add to the plot that way. Fluttershy was so sweet, when she handed Twilight bunny. And, of course, the "Especially since she obviously didn't mean to do all the stuff she did! She's actually really nice!" scene was so adorable! Very tactless, Fluttershy, very tactless, but still adorable. I also loved Applejack's scene a lot. She didn't only express honesty there (even though, I get that was the man purpose), but also the fact that helping others in need is way more important than the competition. She couldn't stand watching the way Twilight was suffering and abuse she got from Sour Sweet, and even other teammates. That was really nice of you, AJ. Rainbow Dash ponied up twice, if I remember correctly, both times when she was expressing loyalty, first time when singing to CHS, and the second time when she saved Sunset. That was awesome, even though, I do have some issues with the second scene. Rarity ponied up when she made them costumes... nothing unexpected, to be honest. I always wished we saw more of her generous side than that costume-making (not only in EQG, but also in FiM!) but never mind. I somehow always felt that she does that more for herself than for others anyhow. I loved that scene where she comforts Sunset by reminding her that what they needed to defeat Sirens was - her. It was really nice. And Pinkieeee! I loved her "pony-up scene", how she set a party that completely broke the ice, and made students from both schools forget about competition and actually enjoy themselves together! That's the real Pinkie. I loved how Sci-Twi helped her too, even though she was obviously confused. And now... Principal Cinch. OK, I see that she gets a lot of hate, and I hate her too, but I definitely don't consider her a bad villain. Just the opposite - in my eyes, she's actually a very good villain. She's not a magical creature from Equestria, she's not a power-seeking demon. She's none of these. She's just a typical, realistic manipulative psychopath, and that's what makes her scariest. People like her can be seen in the streets. You can actually meet someone who'll use you the way she was using Twilight (and other students, actually, but mainly Twilight). She didn't care at all for her students. I actually think she didn't care for Crystal Prep as well, she was only caring for its reputation because it was also her reputation. Practically - she only cared for herself. But she was indeed very clever. She knew Twilight's weaknesses perfectly, she knew how important her studies and going to Everton are for her. That's why she decided to blackmail her into participating in the games with it. She knew that Twilight simply couldn't reject it. But first, she made Cadance and Shining Armor leave, so that they couldn't see what she was having in mind. She kept doing it during the Games as well, when she made Twilight spy on the Rainbooms (what happened to it, anyway?) and in the end - the song. It's one of the creepiest villain songs I've heard, ever. And it really showed how great manipulator Cinch is. I don't see that anyone mentioned it here, but the very important part of it is the very beginning of the song. "I realize that you've always been an outcast." Well played, Cinch. Well played. Again - she attacked Twilight's feelings to make her do what she wants, but this time in much more subtle manner. This sentence seems so irrelevant to the whole song, and in general, it is. Its actual purpose was to make Twilight as vulnerable as possible, so that she'd be easier to manipulate. Apparently, Cinch noticed that Twilight didn't like being alone and mocked by everyone and - she used that to her own advantage, again. This time, pretty successfully. Making her vulnerable, she could use the more transparent ways of manipulation, not worrying that much that Twilight would resist to them. And still, she kept on saying that "Twilight has to unleash the magic, so that she can understand it", which was obviously not her true intention, which I'm pretty sure Twilight noticed too. But she wanted to believe it was her intention, since she didn't want to see Cinch and other Crystal Prep students as her enemies. Plus, she really didn't want to be the one responsible for losing the games, especially after being emotionally attacked like that. Seems rather hard to take? In the end, Cinch just left proudly, when she realized that - not only CHS students and Celestia, Luna and Cadance stood up to her, but also her students, who were so loyal to her before. I honestly wonder what happened to her later. I really wish we met Shadowbolts better, though. They actually seem pretty awesome, but were severely underused. Sour Sweet even had some lines, but most of them had max two or three of them, which was sad. I don't see their "redemption" in the end of the movie rushed at all. It would have been indeed very rushed, if they were actually evil. But I don't think they were. I don't even think they were at all that mean, either. They were just ambitious students, who went to the school that valued that ambition. And, unlike CHS, Crystal Prep seemed to value individual work more than teamwork, which can explain why Sour Sweet didn't even think of helping Twilight when she was having problems with aiming the target, even though that would also bring her and the rest of the team benefits. They were most likely also manipulated by Cinch into thinking that winning is all that matters, and, being as ambitious as the were, they got it pretty seriously. Don't forget that they showed their "lighter side" on Pinkie's party too. They seemed to actually enjoy themselves there, just as much as CHS students, and even interacted with them. They were just taken off by the excitement of competition and all that rivalry, which is something that happens to all of us. Don't forget Applejack and Rainbow Dash in Fall Weather Friends, who were, in my opinion, much worse sports there than Shadowbolts were in FG (at least, Shadowbolts were playing fair most of the time, if we exclude manipulating Twilight part). I'm glad they learned their lesson (not only Shadowblots, but also Wondercolts!), and that probably these Games ended that rivalry part, even though I'm sure the competitive side on the future Games will continue, which is fine, since competitions aren't fun without it. I'm really sorry they didn't keep that detail from the deleted scenes where one of the Shadowbolts girls says that, no matter what Cinch says, making friends with CHS students is much more fun than playing against them, though. That would have added much to their characters. Ending was predictable and a bit cliche but nice. Tara Strong sounds awesome as a villain! I honestly don't get how come Twilight turned into power-crazed monster, but oh well. Maybe that has something to do with the bitterness she felt about being manipulated the way she was, but she really didn't feel like someone who'd put her desire to know everything before the safety of her fellow students, and pretty much, her whole world. But, that's Equestria Girls, so - we'll forgive them for that. Apparently, it can't pass without a monster who wants to take over the world. Maybe it also has something to do with her being lonely, and the magic she was using was the magic of friendship? Actually, that makes much more sense. I loved that it was Sunset who stopped her, and the way she did it. She told Twilight that she understands her, because she was going through the same thing before. She didn't judge her. And I'm pretty sure no one would be able to do it better than her. The whole scene was very touching. And... Spike part! The fact that even power-crazy Twilight, who didn't seem to care about anything, actually did care for Spike speaks a lot. Their bond was really something special in this movie, and throughout most of the movie, he was practically her only friend. I loved it. I'm glad she transferred to CHS too. It might offer her less about her education, but she didn't need it that much anyway. Crystal Prep was obviously too easy for her anyway. She wanted to learn about friendship, and CHS is the great place for that. The scene where she met pony Twilight is hilarious but incredibly sweet. Some less important parts, which I noticed include: Shining Armor was such an asshole. He obviously knew that Games weren't really "Twilight's thing", but he was still on Cinch's side. Pony Shining Armor would never do that. A bit more lighter subject was Luna and Cadence's relationship. They seem to be such good friends. But Luna mentions that seeing Cadance means another defeat. Does that mean that they never see each other outside of Friendship Games? It's actually rather sad. I also wonder if that world's Cadence will also end up with Shining Armor. Many questions left unanswered, but that's what makes it more interesting.

I usually say I'm like Twilight, but actually, I'm a mix of all of them, except for Applejack xD So, let's go in order, in which I think I relate to each of them and why. 1. Twilight Sparkle Anxious nerd who keeps her marks on top, and loves reading. Our background story is pretty similar too, the way she was sent to "study friendship" reminds me of myself coming to the high school in other city to learn languages, but the main thing I actually learned there is being more open to other people and actually accept them in my life, and what the meaning of being a true friend is (at least, to that one small group of people I care about). We are both rather withdrawn, "closed" and rather hard to approach, at least on emotional level. We also have trouble trusting in something that doesn't fit in our theories or common sense, even when there is evidence that that something is actually real. Also, we both have an older brother we love deeply, but are separated from and are afraid to lose. I knew I was "her" from the first episode, but the one her episode that really reminded me of myself is Lesson Zero. Oh, gosh, that's exactly how I feel about tests, and I can imagine doing something similar if I was given that task! The other similarity between us is that we are both rather modest, and find it hard to accept that we are better than others in some things. We both have that tendency to get emotionally attached to our authorities if they are nice and friendly to us, which can be sometimes good, sometimes not that much. Personality-wise, we are both devoted friends, despite our obvious bookish introversion. I'm much less "by-book" person than her though, and never make check lists. 2. Fluttershy Alright, Flutters is maybe "the other side of my coin", and, actually, I can relate to her just slightly less than Twily. Aside from that introversion part which they share, there's also that unconditional love for animals, and ability to communicate with them on much different level. I'm that type who would rather run off if sees a human being, but whenever I see an animal of any sort, I always stop to say "Hi." Sometimes, pretty loudly. I often sometimes say "Hi" to pets, and completely ignore their owners too, which makes them stare at me weirdly xD . Just like Fluttershy, I get extremely anxious at public parties, social gatherings and despise speaking in public! I love being alone with my pets, reading stories and having nice tea parties. I'm also extremely sensitive, and cry very easily. I'm much less mature than she is though. 3. Pinkie Pie Let's say, I'm an extremely introverted version of this extreme extrovert! We're both very random, highly active, and trust our intuition. When I'm relaxed and happy, and when I'm surrounded by people I actually know very well, I act just like her! I'm prone to that random hugging, jumping around, and "speaking nonsense" (it isn't nonsense to me though). We both also speak very loud, fast and in that high-pitched manner. 4. Rainbow Dash Alright, to her, I relate much less than those above, but still significantly. She represents that tomboyish and competitive part of me. We both have that will to be the best we can be, and like some friendly competition. We both can be nervous about the competitions that mean something to us, even though we try not to show it. And, yes, I alwaysss wanted to be able to fly fast! And we are both loyal friends, despite the fact that we often don't seem close to that. 5. Rarity Alright, to her, I don't relate that much, but still I do in some aspects. The main aspect is whining. I always whine. About everything. And often exaggerate in my whining! "My whole life is ruineeeed!" The other thing is that we are both creative, just in different areas. I'd never be able to imagine myself working on cloths, though, I'd be awful in it. I usually write, or make photographs. And, yes, we both live in organized chaos.
