Your thoughts on Midnight Sparkle?

[Durandal 623]

She certainly doesn't look that threatening.

 

Of course, I don't particularly like any of the Mane 6's 'super forms'. All are ridiculously frilly and obnoxious. Even their standard appearances in Equestria Girls are a little silly to me. The show is geared towards a younger market, and for selling merchandise, but every time that seeps in it just irritates me.

A picture of Midnight Sparkle in her box has been published by Amazon:

 

It says she's part of the Shadowbolts, which likely confirms she's the human Twilight Sparkle. Also, look closely at the background, it's rather interesting.

I thought they all ready did. (Luna is the Princess of Night and Darkness and Dreams, and yet is NOT evil)

Yes, princess of the night and dreams, but she doesn't use dark magin on a daily basis and said magic is always portrayed as harmful

She's described as Twi's dark side

I can imagine something like this go on:

Oh wow.... A villain that's the exact opposite of the hero...... I've never seen that before..... So original.....

 

(The sarcasm is so thick you could cut it with a butter knife)

[Dawning Demon 950]

I think the possibility of seeing Twilight on the dark side is just too tasty, as we are so used to her being the hero, lesson zero gave us a taste of Twilights scheming side and she is alittle unstable when rubbed the wrong way.

 

I'm so excited for the movie! :3

[Lady Diana 412]

I think Midnight Sparkle kind of acts like Equestria Twilight.

[MLPFanatic34 3,234]

I think Midnight Sparkle looks like she'll be a cool villain, I love her overall design and the fact she seems to be alternate version of Twilight Sparkle.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

This will definitely be Twilight's alter-ego. 

[Midnight stardust 0]

It could be possible that this twilight went down the wrong path like pony sunset shimmer only she didn't get banished, but what about human sunset shimmer??? Hmm maybe soon we may know since twilight's human for is introduced.

[Side Bird 566]

She's probably going to be evil and suspicious then become friends with everyone. 

[GuyNamedEarl 1,332]

I think she's a changling, which is why she's looking for magic at Canterlot high

[CharlotteR-MLP 50]

While this could hint at something really epic that the movie will bring us, I think it's most likely a marketing campaign that Hasbro's using to sound really cool and put people into the "BUY OUR TOYS!" line of thinking. I doubt it'll actually be present.

 

Also I swear my original persona had that same name XD

[CookieK 74]

You know how Luna turned into Nightmare Moon this is Twilight's Nightmare persona. Sci Twi is gonna get tricked by the nightmare energy somehow and turn into Nightmare Twilight Sparkle aka Midnight Sparkle.

yours and many others, I've seen many characters named Midnight Sparkle in pony fics  . One is Twi's evil past life, and another is a fic were Trixie is Twi's long lost twin sister and her given name was Midnight Sparkle 

[yeet 2,027]

It looks like it could kill what is canon in the pony version. Which is bad.

[LHfunk 422]

I think it's a Human Twilight experiment gone wrong. She's transferred to Canterlot High and is experimenting when some of the remaining magical force reacts to her experiment, which changes her. If that's the case, it sounds like one of those things where the antagonist is just someone that's confused and afraid. Not sure how this would work with the plot (haven't learned anything about the movie at all yet), but it sounds like a cool idea to me.

[Twilight Shimmer 30]

Does anyone remember the "Time to shine" Sunset Shimmer doll? this is what Midnight Twilight reminds me of since the Sunset Shimmer doll had big/bigger wings, and her hairstyle is different then their regular hair. This intrigues me because I never heard of Midnight Twilight until this, I have seen pictures of her before when looking online, I have also seen a Fluttershy version of the "Time to shine" doll. The doll is called "Midnight Magic Twilight" I still wonder if were going to see her in the movie?

 

[HailTrixie 239]

Ooh, an evil version of the protagonist! Nobody has ever thought of THAT before!

 

Also, looks too much like Bratz/Monster High. Then again, the official toyline is known to suck.

Now that you mention it, I haven't though about what transformation the girls will take to beat Middy  . They ponied up to blast Demon Sunny, and they ponied up + Rainbow Power something to blast the Dasslers, makes sense for them to transform again

This is her doll art:

 

I believe Will Smith once said it best..."It's not a 'doll', it's an 'Action Figure!' :okiedokielokie: "

Well after watching the movie, damn.......more threatening and actually more intimidating even more than Sunset Demon o_O

Gotta admit I was VERY impressed with the final design. MUCH better than the promo art.

[PROJECT: Simon 3,954]

More evil than I thought~! '~' The first intense moment in EQG~ T^T       

[KillerKingBakudan 702]

She was really something. Definitely loved this design more than Demon Sunset. Tara Strong did such an impressive job at making her sound evil too. You'd almost think it wasn't the same character. 

And…...

 

 

….. The resolution just blew my mind! I liked how her feelings for Spike led to her losing, yet ultimately accepting it. 

I'm not completely sold on how it was set up though, to be honest. She never understood magic, meaning the chance of not being able to control it was all too likely. Yet Cinch and the other students pressured her into using it anyway. They should know better. It's like tampering with a bomb with no experience whatsoever in explosives.

 

And considering that Twilight never meant to hurt anyone, her motivation to destroy the world didn't make much sense. You just don't get that disregard for people without really being driven over the edge first, even after getting doped up on all that power. It kinda worked with Sunset in the first movie because she was already a ruthless bitch. But Twilight never showed contempt towards anyone up to that point, and her innocence was never really lost. I could understand if they made her like Tetsuo Shima, wanting to get back at her school for all the constant bullying, and Sunset for making her feel like a worthless hazard at the field. Instead, she wanted to tear shit up for the sake of knowledge. That is not something that merely being deprived of friendship would do to you. I know this because I used to be an outcast myself.

Still, I'm glad DHX didn't do something stupid like have Cinch steal Twilight's device so SHE can be the demon tearing shit up. I was afraid she was plotting to do something like that the minute she started eavesdropping on the Mane Six. But rather than make her into a typical Disney villain, she stayed in character and used Twilight as a decent, unwilling asset for her own goals. And as someone else pointed out, it was a necessary step for Sunset to go full circle in this series. She is now pretty much exactly what she could have been in Equestria if she hadn't left. Despite that one flaw with Midnight Sparkle, the pay off was worth it and I'm glad the approach was taken.
