Seshiria 21 August 13, 2014 Share August 13, 2014 Okay, so most people hate Equestria Girls. And I can totally see why. BUUUUUT, I don't. I actually like it. And I thought I'd share my reason with you. First off, the biggest reason that makes me like the actual show is the characters. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S THE SAME CHARACTERS IN THE MOVIE OH MY GOSH But also, I saw a video from some kind of panel from a con. Sadly I can't find that video, but they said something about that Equestria Girls is based on US. We keep making human-fanart, so Hasbro went like "Oooh, so THAT'S what they want!" And BOOM, we had EG. And then I noticed that a lot more than that is based on us bronies. First off, the opening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmDH7I4VFv0 The song/remix is totally inspired by the remixes we make, and the video reminds you of videos we make, too. And then, they keep making references to us bronies the whoooole movie. You'll have to check that out yourself And I guess I've just always liked these kind of shitty things... And of course it still has it's child-based parts too. I mean, it's still about a toy for little girls after all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(MARVEL) Blue Blood 991 August 13, 2014 Share August 13, 2014 I actually like Equestria Girls. Sure, Flash Sentry had the personality as a cardboard box, and the ending was not only half-assed, but terrible, but I still enjoyed it. Human Pinkie is epic, and Spike had his best role since Lesson Zero at the time. 3 Second in Command of the Marvel Alliance!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BastementSparkle 20,326 August 13, 2014 Share August 13, 2014 (edited) The movie isn't bad by any means. It's flawed but it's not terrible. It had a few good jokes, some heartwarming scenes, some pretty good music and great animation. I don't think the designs for the human characters were that bad either, some of them are pretty cute. It's got a bit of a rushed ending and Sunset's plan doesn't really make any sense at all. It also has some other flaws like Flash having too little personality and some things were a bit too generic, but it's not awful by any means. I'm hoping they improve upon it with the sequel.

Adash 193 August 13, 2014 Share August 13, 2014 I actually really liked Equestria Girls. I also liked Flash Sentry (send me your hate mail). I can't wait for the new movie. 3 Sig made by Aeron Quillson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's true. I don't think the sequel is going to be that good actually, I've seen the clips from it and..well, the songs aren't as good and those designs...NO. But I'll watch it for the characters, they seem to have some pretty great moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongGoneGr 1,305 August 13, 2014 Share August 13, 2014 I enjoyed it. The songs seemed a little off, but w/e. Pinkie was epic as always but Sunset's plan didn't make much sense. Also lack of Discord. Still, pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll watch it for the characters, they seem to have some pretty great moments. The clips or the shorts? I'm pretty sure the shorts aren't actually going to be in the movie, they're just like little prequels that tie in. I've watched them all, though I haven't seen any of the actual clips. I liked most of the songs in the clips though, and while the designs weren't all that good, I found them good in a bad sort of way. Though it does have a few things I find kinda ridiculous.

Pinklady 346 August 13, 2014 Share August 13, 2014 (edited) I have to admit I was one of the EG haters. But after I had seen the movie, it wasn't bad at all.Well, it wasn't a good movie either, you don't have to analyse it too thoroughly. But at the end it was really enjoyable.And it shortens the waiting for a new MLP season Edited August 13, 2014 by Pinklady 1 Credit for my Signature goes to Vinyl Scratch.

Zekromic 1,054 August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 The movie isn't bad by any means. It's flawed but it's not terrible. It had a few good jokes, some heartwarming scenes, some pretty good music and great animation. I don't think the designs for the human characters were that bad either, some of them are pretty cute. Yeah, I don't see why they call the designs awful with a face like this Anyways, the movie itself was good overall, not a masterpiece, but it was not bad, in fact, I just saw it yesterday again . While the dresses of the girls might be an overly stereotypically girlish, personality wise, were the same as our favorite equine counterparts, so, points for that. I loved Sunny's designs, but was quite a bland villain. I didn't mind Flash Sentry at first, just being one more character that's there and happens to have a mutual crush with Twily, he has become one of my favorite ponies around. The reason is that, I always found amusing how to this day, people still rages at his mere mention . In fact, he's the only background pony I've ever come with a nickname: "Waifu thief" , for being one of the main reasons for his hate Remember something kids, no matter how much you hate EG, WE SPAWNED IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Pinkamena 41 August 20, 2014 Share August 20, 2014 I think that the movie was pretty good. the character designs were ADORABLE, and I really liked the transformation scene where the girls "ponied up" or whatever. I'll admit, the movie had a cliché plot/setting, but no movie is perfect. I am your princess now, and you will be loyal to Me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonasDarkmane 19,785 August 20, 2014 Share August 20, 2014 I pretty much adored the movie. My only problem with it was Flash Sentry. Otherwise I loved it. Especially the music. I found all the music in the movie to be totally awesome . Also I liked the human art style.

PrymeStriker 408 August 20, 2014 Share August 20, 2014 Serving fans shouldn't become the number one priority when you're writing anything. I appreciated and welcomed all of the references, and I agree with others in regards to the animation and designs, but the story should take prevalence. This film's storytelling felt like an afterthought. Also, "it's a toyline for little girls," or "it's for kids" in general is not an excuse for piss-poor production.

I found the movie to be more original, much more enjoyable and with better songs. And probably that I could finally take it seriously, maybe because the problem was realistic or because they were humans.

Yeah Twilight is going to be going back to the human world in the next movie ''Rainbow Rocks''. She will be going because of some evil girls trying to harvest negative energy from everybody. I'm really looking forward for the next movie since it will mostly be about music Signature by @Kyoshi Ask Me Matsunaga Hisahide's death https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKT5Khp3-0U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopeTheWanderer 121 August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 I would like to enjoy it, but it has about as much enjoyment as a medieval torture device...that has you on the receiving end. Hence why I just consider it to not be an MLP film at all and just a knock off of those rubbish Twilight films that nobody cares about. "It is part of a good man to do great and noble deeds, though he risk everything." - Plutarch "As long as humans continue to be the ruthless destroyer of other beings, we will never know health or peace. For as long as people massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, those who sow the seed of murder and pain will never reap joy or love." - Pythagoras, Greek philosopher, ca. 530 B.C.
