"Everypony from Manehattan to Saddle Arabia is here!" I'm surprised nobody thinks about this line.

That's actually a good idea. You have good ideas. I like that.

I'm a huge fan of the show, but I absolutely hated this movie. I would have liked it, warts and all, had our long-established heroes either not been barely useful at best, utterly inconsequential in the middle, or downright detrimental to their own progress at worst. Pinkie Pie getting Klugetown's attention and Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom are standout examples, but I absolutely loathed what the movie did to Twilight in this film. Seven seasons and two Equestria Girls films worth of development? Gone. Completely down the drain. We get to see her attempt to steal a pearl, shout at her friends, get captured and not even really try to escape aside from some magic blasts, and then feel sorry for herself and let her magic get drained. Only when the movie reminds her that she's the PRINCESS OF FRIENDSHIP does she become useful in the slightest. Honestly, I felt outright betrayed by this movie; it took steps backwards in terms of development just for the sake of creating tension, and no movie should ever, ever do that. I actually prefer every single Equestria Girls film, individually, over this garbage. It may have introduced some great new characters and settings, and it had quite the budget this time, but good effects do not excuse a terrible story nor character derailment. And the fact that it's all going to be canon just makes me even more sick to my stomach. In short... FUCK. THIS. MOVIE.

The entire. Bucking. 2017 Movie. Nopony was smart the entire way through. Let's count the ways... - Celestia doesn't fight back or run away from Tempest Shadow's minions. - Luna does, but doesn't even try to dodge any orbs thrown her way. - Pinkie Pie draws attention from every citizen in Klugetown. - They don't even bother fighting off the residents of Klugetown with their abilities. - They are way too trusting of Capper. - Rainbow Dash draws attention with a Sonic Rainboom and nearly gets her new pirate friends killed. - Twilight uses her friends as unwitting distractions to steal a pearl. - Twilight doesn't apologize until her words and actions cause their friendship to fall apart. - The other ponies just leave her there to be captured. - Twilight never even tries teleporting out of her cage and just spams horn beams, then mopes about until she's rescued. - The Storm King gloats to Tempest Shadow that he lied about restoring her horn. And furthermore, considering this takes place between seasons 7 and 8, if you really stop to think about it, they have the changelings, the griffins, the yaks, the Pillars of Old Equestria, and they even have access to the Elements of Harmony again. And nopony thinks of asking them for help, why? They have absolutely no reason whatsoever to travel beyond Equestria to meet a race that was never mentioned up until this point.
