Pocky Pen

I don't have much to comment other than I do like EG and it's what pushed me into finalizing my entry into the herd so I guess I'm a bit biased (but hey, who isn't, amirite?). It uses a lot of high school cliches but I don't think that made it bad; tropes are just tools, neither good nor evil at their core. I did cringe at some of the cheesier bits and the, uh, "Photoshopping" I guess you could call it, though. But that didn't ruin the movie at all for me. I loved the songs, especially the one in the cafeteria (don't remember the title). And the remix at the start was gah, just wonderful to mine ears. And I liked Flash Sentry. I hope he appears in Season 4 (and I know he most likely won't but still!) and gets more development; he was likeable, but still felt a bit too flat. Flashlight shipping, ho! (Well, between his Equestrian counterpart and Twilight, mostly, but I don't mind the other possibilities too much...) I do wish they'd used more... well, human skintones, but overall I found I didn't mind the technicolor population as much as I expected. Especially once I saw Fluttershy; at that moment, all was forgiven. Not the best movie ever, but still one I will definitely watch again sometime. And listen to the songs over and over and over... Wait, didn't I say I didn't have much to say? I guess I had more to say than I though... sorry...

I agree with the opinions that MMC should have been a two parter, though I loved all the songs from it and didn't get tired of hearing ponies breaking out into song. Celestia's song gave me chicken skin, oooooh. Um, but as far as Twilicorn goes, I never really had a problem and I think it will be interesting seeing her development with the new responsibilities and such that she will have to deal with from now on. Being a unicorn with exceptional magical talent under the tutelage of Celestia herself is one thing, but to all of a sudden have all the responsibilities of being an alicorn and therefore a princess? It's gonna be a bumpy ride. Well maybe not all the responsibilities as she's still new to the whole thing, but still. New responsibilities. And more things expected of her. That's gonna be a lot of pressure. I do have slight concern over how the writers will handle her development, but I'm confident in them. They've been doing pretty well so far. And the bucking box is driving me crazy, I wanna know what the hay is inside it already gah. Um, sorry...
