Intentionally.  In Equestria the pony Twilight finds in Starlight a friend and supporter who shares many of the same interest that Twilight does, and in the land of CHS the human Twilight (who is less sure of herself, does not have pony Twilight's life time of magical learning and is facing a force that her lifelong pursuit of science told her didn't exist) finds in Sunset a friend who is self assured, knows magic and is willing to support her during those times when human Twilight is out of her dept.  We saw this in Freindship Games at least twice when it was Sunset who guided Twilight to grasping the geodes and before that in parting the brambles to get into the camp.

  In Equestria Starlight does not have an element of harmony because Twilight and the rest of the M6 are complete, but in the human world Twilight is only complete when Sunset is with her.  Thus my theory is that the element of friendship in the human world split into two parts because it needed too.  Starlight and Sunset are the second part of the friendship equation, each being the type needed for each world.  Pinky, Rarity, AppleJack, Fluttershy and Rainbow are complete in themselves.

So in reality, there just 6 elements, the prime one being a halve of one another.

Eh, I’m not going to say your wrong, but I’m not really bothered by it. I don’t know anything about how this series was funded or put together, maybe this is just what Hasbro was willing or able to spend on the series. I never really had any great expectations going in, so maybe that’s why I’m not upset, but if I had to choose between little tidbits here and there, and remaining completely in the dark until next big movie, I’ll take what we have.

I thought the bit we got from Overpowered was good, that the more they use their magic the more powerful it gets. Wonder if that’ll ever come into play during some big villain fight, where all of them using their magic at the same time super-charges them.

Kinda like those old timey car where you have to wind up the engine in order to start it.

I personally enjoyed "Overpowered" and thought it held up well on its own merits, but I agree that its potential is significantly limited by how dang short the run-time is. Really, if you take out the last shot of Sunset sighing in relief, I probably would've mistaken this as a cold open to a 22-minute episode.

I really hope a lot of the later shorts will be long enough to avoid regularly falling into this trap, because there's some really good ideas just waiting to be explored to their fullest.

I find it interesting that K. Hadley said they'll vary in length (meaning at least some of them ought to be longer), yet all the ones we've gotten so far are around 2 1/2 minutes. Maybe Hasbro intentionally gave Discovery Family all the shorter ones that were already completed?

Maybe it's building up from 2 1/2 min to probably 11 to 22 minutes

They'd probably keep Princess Twilight's design the same as before, since she's not the one they're trying to sell toys of and it'd help them differentiate the two twilight's from each other.

Well if the human 7 undergo a change, then so would princess twilight if she ever returns though.

This Equestria Daily post has the links that I used to watch the shorts:

No need for that anymore 'cause they're now on YouTube

I followed Equestria Daily's links, watched them all on my laptop in Chrome.

Can you give a link to that episode along with the other 2?

Welp... these are the three shorts I've liked the least.

  Hide contents

 

- Star Crossed: I have nothing against Timber-SciTwi, but this short was too cheesy for my taste.

- The Finals Countdown: So, suddenly everyone is irresponsible and SciTwi gets to make them study? They got the 6 best scores for CHS in the ACADECA on Friendship Games! It doesn't matter if SciTwi is a genius, the rest of the girls shouldn't be pictured as bad students at all. I call BS. Also, I don't like one bit that Cheerilee is so much older than the humane 7, it feels weird for me.

- Overpowered: It was ok, but after all the character development that RD has had in FiM it feels weird to see EQG's Dash with that attitude. To be fair, I like the implications of it, showing clear differences between EQG characters and the FiM ones. It's just that I don't like old immature Dash and her pony counterpart has grown on me so much, this feels like a regression (even if they're sepparate characters).

 

 

How you manage to watch overpowered? That episode is locked in the discovery family app and I can't find it anywhere else.

Friendship is a binary concept.  Perhaps in Equestria Starlight is the second part of the equation where in the world of CHS Sunset is the second part?

You said "second part" twice.

3 hours ago, Toon4Thought said:

Well, I guess the four weren't enough for them, as they just put up three more.

Overpowered, Star Crossed, and the Finals Countdown.

 

Two things I'm curious about before watching them:

1. Is there going to be any hype left by the time this does premiere on YouTube?

2. K. Hadley said the shorts will be of 'varying lengths', and yet all the ones we've seen so far are 2 1/2 - 3 minutes. When will it start to vary?

Are you serious right now?!

Eh. So-so. Not going to say it was terrible, but it wasn't good either.

Now, don't get me wrong, there's a few really cute parts, like AJ with a fence, or some of the images in the club one, and the girl in the pinkie one, but it just didn't grab me. The fine line one, while having a nice theme, was just utterly boring (though I'd love to see a follow up where the six get zapped into the game or something and have to play as their MMO classes).

I know its just 2 minute shorts, but that's the PROBLEM. There's not enough time for any real substance here, so it feels like flash without anything behind it. I just don't think the tiny shorts are a good medium, and I hope there's more legitimate episodes (that have actual plots and last for more than a blink) in the future.

Do like AJ and RD's redesigns though.

I wonder what princess twilight's redesign gonna be, if she ever to the human dimension

Maybe we could see her family's reaction to Spike being able to talk in the Digital Series.

It could make for some pretty funny moments.

Yeah it'll be funny.lol

I wonder if Spike the Dog and Spike the Dragon will meet face to face?

We already seen princess twilight meet sci-twi (surprisingly), now if only that scene was more flushed out, we would see pretty interesting faces btw.

The writers won't get blamed for this. No, I think it might be either a disgruntled employee or a hacker that could have leaked these shorts.

Oh ok.

Like any big business company, schedules are to be followed or else the impact won't be as strong as expected. Granted, none of us know what goes on in Hasbro's corporate sector--their higher-ups--so I'm guessing at this point. If Hasbro is annoyed with what happened here, I suspect someone is going to get blamed for it.

Hopefully not the writers.

Is this going to be just like RWBY then?

Possibly.

One has to wonder for how long given that Hasbro could very well be furious beyond all reasoning.

I have no idea why.

I think they have, just like here.

It kinda suits them. 

Is there one for starlight?😉

Hard to say.  The magic from Equestria really started to leak through when Midnight Sparkle started tearing the dimensional barriers apart and from the looks of it while Sunset sealed most of the rifts she didn't get the one on the portal itself.  Magic is equal parts emotion/desire and control.  I believe that the magic wanders the human world randomly until it encounters a place to settle and/or a person with a huge amount of emotional need or distress.  It settled into the geodes and Gloriosa had the desire, but not the control.  It think it is possible that if Twilight had not gone to Camp Everfree then there would have been only six geodes and that because she was there the last geode split in two because both Sunset and Twilight had previous exposure to magic.  Also that the magic they both have the most affinity for is friendship magic.  I think it's reasonable to think that Sunset and Twilight are both so alike in manor, temperament and interests that any friendship magic would be split between them.

Remember equine Twilight and Starlight, both had to reactivated the map in "spice up your life", maybe the same can be said for human sunset and sci-twi maybe both had to be together in order to work the other(nothing sexually btw), maybe it has to be two, no more, no less.

You mean like a tattoo or something ??? I like the idea, but the thing about cutie mark is that you can see them ! Ponies are always naked, human don't unfortunately...  and Cutie Marks on Equestria Girls will be awesome but kinda... useless... ?
Sexy ! But useless 

Yeah no kidding

I haven't seen much EG, but if they don't talk about them, then they don't have them.

That means they "DO" have them.

Aren't those the same wings her alter self had when she visited Cloudsdale during the Young Flyers Composition?

No they're just a prop.

Just now, Cahead2015 said:

Plus the wings from her alter self just got obliterated.

Maybe.  Pony Twilight always had her natural magic to draw upon, and so did Sunset until she came through the portal, but human Twilight never used magic in her life until the Friendship games and she isn't as confident in her self as pony Twilight.  Maybe she instinctively needs Sunset or thinks deep down that she won't be able to control the magic without Sunset nearby.  The relationship between human Twilight and Sunset and pony Twilight and Sunset is fundamentally different.  Sunset looks up to pony Twilight the way human Twilight looks up to Sunset.

So what you're saying is; without sunset, sci-twi would never have gotten her own element/geode, right?

I actually thought it was a bit more fluid, Raise The Roof was noticeably better than the usual EQG animation. As for the TV Y7 ratings, I'm just hoping that means they're willing to do more mature things with the series. Overall I thought these were great, Raise The Roof was definitely my favorite 

Yeah change it's rating from Y7 to G.

probs would all have tattoos or even birth marks, just not in the pony flank area. 

I cant imagine all of them getting tats, which is why Birth marks would make more sense. 

You might be right, however birth marks are what you're born with, not when you're getting later in your life
