We need more Twilight-on- Spike sibling love action, like in Owl's Well that Ends Well. Spike clearly has alot of issues, I need to see Twilight comfort him and help him improve.

Braeburn is obviously the mare in all ships including heterosexual ones

I think this would be a BAD idea. The CMC finally got out of their "cutie mark pursuing" shackles, let them stretch themselves a bit. Or should I say, let the writers have a little freedom with CMC focused narratives.

^well, that is where we differ, my good sir. Here is an excerpt of an article I wrote on the matter of Legend of the Everfree several moons ago (please note, I refer to "Sci- Twi" as Moe-Twi, since the REAL Sci-Twi, will forever be Scissor Twilight who predated this Glasses wearing chick by over 5 years) "Anyways, the movie starts and we are greeted by two new characters. Yay, right? If there's one thing EQG knows how to do well, its introducing new likable characters like the Dazzlings in Rainbow Rocks, or Moe-Twilight and her hilariously bitchy classmates in Friendship Games. What could ever go wrong with this installment of EQG? =_= I'm going to be honest, I disliked BOTH of these characters soooo damn much, that I don't even remember their names for fucks sakes. Therefore, I will be referring to them as Brad and Angie for the remainder of this post. So Brad is such an awkwardly psuedo-smooth talker that it made me uncomfortable throughout the entire movie. Any times that he had any real discourse with any of the other characters it just felt "wrong" and I would shift about in my seat by the cringy vibe I got. This is the kinda guy who tries to be cool/ funny and fails drastically, but for some reason everyone acts like he's the best thing since sliced cheese. His design is good enough, I suppose. The dark earthy colors match well and at least don't make my eyes sore on top of feeling uncomfortable. But then you get to the meat of my problems with the character. And that would be the forced mutual romantic interest with Moe-Twi. I do NOT like these characters together at ALL. Why? Because when they are together, talking, joking around, etc, BOTH of these characters become annoying as fuck. Like if Brad wasn't already enough of a pain in the ass, he somehow gets even more cringy when associating with Moe-Twi. And as for Moe-Twi herself, well, i suppose its a good Idea for me to address something about her that pervades throughout the entire movie. And that is the fact that she doesn't really act very similar to the Moe-Twi I knew and loved in Friendship Games. Sure, when she's with Brad she gets considerably worse. But even when she's just around normally, I find her to feel really "off". I found her to be much less likable in this movie than I expected, which was a real shame as that was the main thing that had me excited for this movie; getting to see the lovable moe-blob form Friendship Games getting the spotlight with her internal struggle against her dark side. And that's sort of what the movie trys to deliver, but while simultaneously watering that plot down to make way for the Scooby-Doo esque bullshit excuse for a subplot. Actually, the subplot pretty much overtakes Moe-twi's struggles and becomes the main plot itself. " and "A segway into greener pastures would be quite a treat for the tortured psyche this movie left me with, so how about I discuss the aforementioned character for awhile? Sunset Shimmer was probably one of the best things about this movie. She shined here brighter than any of her previous appearances, which caught me off guard honestly. I never liked Sunset when she was originally introduced. Similarly I never quite liked Starlight Glimmer during her debut either. Once these characters were reformed, however, they both became much more enjoyable and a genuine pleasure to watch. I especially like how these characters stumble around their newly found frontier of friendship, as it is quite adorable and makes me wanna give them a hug =^-^= This movie is one of the first times where Sunset mostly abandons the things that made her likable for me in the previous two movies; her helpless struggle to fit in and be a good person. And she takes up a new role as a headstrong leader who helps those in need and does a damn fine job of doing so. The way she comforts Moe-Twi in this movie is spot on. i loved almost every second of these two sharing a moment together. Similarly, Sunset's interactions with the previous "Brad" achitype, Flash Sentry, are are very powerful and emotionally driven. Flash Sentry himself has improved TREMENDOUSLY over the course of these 4 movies, and this is his strongest showing yet. Every interaction he has with a character is a 10/10 in my book. From the awkward Moe-Twi tension to the desperate, advice seeking conversation with Sunset, his discourse is extremely satisfying to watch. The one thing that I cannot stand about what the writers did with these characters, however, was trying to set up a romantic relationship with them. I don't want these characters together, dammit! xD Why make Flash and Sunset a thing when he has improved so damn much? He is clearly PERFECT for normal Twilight at this point. What, are they just going to act like the romantic love interest was one sided in subsequent movies? Twilight herself was clearly quite taken by Flash, so the writers taking the route of "Flash you need to get over Twilight" doesn't sit right with me. i think they could have gone with something better in this instance, but other than that little snippet, both Flash and Sunset were utterly immaculate throughout the entire movie."

YES, definitely! Ditch those lame-ass ponies in ponyville and focus all the writers' collective efforts on the magnificence of Marshmallow Imouto <3 I'll make a petition, Kifstopher will sign it, and then we will wait for results! \(^o^)/

^yeah, this is what I care about most. Totally breaks immersion when they try to throw in pop culture references or try to throw out one-liners or intentional meme fuel -.- FiM has such rich lore and world building potential! Thats the kinda stuff I wanna see them delve into >.<

^In response to both of the above comments: Yeah those moments could have been considered pandering, but that type of stuff has happened in too many episodes to count. "Slice of Life" is a grand example, although, I will admit, I believe that is the best possible example of pandering done RIGHT!

>. >? Uh... what? lol I would think EQG 1 was a slap in the face to most bronies. I heard suicide threats all over the damn place in reaction to that movie.

^Most people outside of the pony-loving community don't even think bronies exist anymore. They think it was a fad that lasted a few years and now everyone has moved on. I don't really see the issue, honestly, but I definitely acknowledge that it exists. Fewer bronies the better

If you ask me, the fewer bronies the better. I can't STAND these cringe-worthy fandoms surrounding excellent IPs (Steven Universe comes to mind). Kill off the bronies so DHX can continue to make amazing episodes instead of catering and pandering to the bronies like they did in Season 2 (in my opinion the worst the show has ever gotten).

Don't you mean season 8? lol

Hey, if Bon-Bon being an international spy is somehow canon, I dont see why Lyra can't have a few skeletons in her own closet.

I think they would feel some form of sensation. Not something very stimulating, mind you. But more like how you feel when touching your elbow bone. Just try and knock on that elbow with a slight force; it has a weird sort of feeling, but overall a very "dull" sensation. That would be my guess. ^-^
