Could Friendship Games be the end for Equestria Girls?

As the days go by counting down to the 3rd Equestria Girls movie(Set during the events of Season 5), I have this funny feeling(Judging by the hype of the song itself) that Equestria Girls: Friendship Games may be the final Equestria Girls movie, the thrilling conclusion to the Equestria Girls series(Also judging by the fact that we're going to have an Equestria Girls Box Set coming out).

 

What do you all think?  Is this where the Equestria Girls spinoff of My Little Pony comes to an end?  What will become of Sunset Shimmer?  And of the human counterparts of the Mane 6(Or of anyone in the human world)?

Not to be rude, but you SERIOUSLY have me rolling with laughter here XD

 

The only reason I could see them stopping EQG movies right now would be to make an EQG series or mini-series instead. They're making just too much money to stop now-- from what i hear, EQG sales are rising while FIM sales are actually dropping, indicating it might even be eating Pony sales a bit due to its popularity.

I'd be surprised if they did end it, both because it makes millions and because it seems to be well received(since Rainbow Rocks)

I went to walmart a few weeks ago to get some pony merch.

 

I found an Equestria Girls section, and at the bottom of the section there were a few FIM plushies and comics. No. Equestria Girls is not dying, it is taking over. (*cries* Why did I have to get in to the FIM fandom so late!? :'( )

Reiterating what others said here, but until Equestria Girls stops being profitable, I doubt they're going to pull the plug on the series. They may or may not pump out another movie after Friendship Games, but if they don't, you can count on a spin-off TV series or something big to keep it going. The dolls and DVDs sell. Heck, I can't look at the MLP toy section anymore without seeing more EQG merch than ponies. It's too hot a ticket at the moment.

 

No one can be too sure what will happen to Sunset Shimmer, as there's a plethora of directions they can take the character, but I doubt we're going to be losing her anytime soon, regardless of what becomes of EQG.

Actually, on the note of EQG stuff: They felt that making new shorts to advertise EQG toys was a worthwhile investment (Friendship through the ages, life is a runway and My past is not today), which seems a pretty large indication that they're very interested in pumping out more EQG stuff. Heck, Life is a runway doesn't even HAVE a toyline to go with it! Friendship through the ages and My past is not today both had toylines, but rarity's seemed to just be there because they knew fans like EQG stuff.

It will not be the last Equestria Girls movie. Hasbro has already made a lot of money on Equestria Girls and they won't stop. Also the fans like Equestria Girls and their shorts as much as their parent show.

Now I am dreading it could take over ponies. Theoretically there is a way to make it work.

This could be the last movie of eg for now, but not as a franchise, back at sdcc 2014, there was a eg show announced, but it was delayed for unknown reasons, I also believe I heard it was from a different studio. Though I'm not quite sure... It was given the codename "Equestria Academy"

I do hear it was a misstranslation instead of being delayed. 

 

I think there's a good reason on why EG is selling better than FiM: The target audience. Picture yourself in this situation: You were part of FiM's target audience since S1, fast forward 5 years later until now, you're now an 10 years old girl, AT LEAST, that means your interest have changed, you seek more grownup stuff, you're looking forward for being a teen, etc. That's probably why EG is such a success, it took the old target audience who lost interest in FiM, and kept it with the high quality of their movies.

 

If you pay attention, they did something similar in G1, from the original show, to MLP Tales (which is also G1 contrary of popular belief, G2 didn't had any show), they tried to make a more teenage plot compared to the first one to attract the now older target audience, but failed due to it's low quality, something that contrast EG, which, judging with the toy sales and going now by the third movie.

 

 I'm just intrigued if EG will take over FiM  :huh:

I think it's being a too great succes to quit, we don't know what will happen with Equestria Girl-Twilight, but I thought EG1 was the only one ever, but it continued with Sunny being reformed. Then again, we don't know what will happen, but I don't think this wil be the end.


Also, a EG3 explains why there was no new episode this week...

Does anyone know when EG3 wil come out?

It really is going to be interesting! I'm so nervousited! It was such a great idea to put the real EG Twilight in this one! I think they might go in Equestria Girls on with this Twilight for a while, tbh, so I have the confidence this won't end soon. It's just too good.
