Spin-Off Series Idea

[StormBolt 8]

If EQG hasn't already made it obvious with their world building(however small it may be) it's that a spin-off is at least in the works and with how well EQG is being received by fans and newcomers alike it seems like now more than ever that we could have EQG as more than just a movie spin off but a complete TV show spin off cause think of it this way. When MLP FiM goes on Hiatus you want more MLP content right? And yes I know the natural argument:

 

"EQG sucks cause humans aren't ponies blah blah blah rada rada"

 

But if you watch EQG...You'll see its literally just like the pony world just with humans instead of pony's which isn't a bad thing and gives us something new to experience. That being said how would an EQG spin off series work? Well it'd work the same way MLP does

 

A slice of life/action & Adventure story about 7 high school girls who have to deal with magic running a muck in their world as well as just the everyday life they lead as teenagers with magic being a side conflict but a big one though because as stated by Fluttershy in Friendship Games and I quote

 

"Not everything has to be magical to be important"

 

As seen in all 3 movies, situations started out as normal high school events that slowly got crossed with a magical element

 

Fall formal (Stop Sunset Shimmer and get back Twilight's crown)

Rainbow Rocks (Stop the Dazzlings and free the school)

Friendship Games (Defeat Crystal Prep and Midnight Sparkle)

 

Now that being said the best way for a spin off to truly work is find a way to make magic a threat the girls can and will face whenever it shows up and thats where I think Twilight's pendant comes in as well as the countless other magic situations that have happened over the course of the 3 movies and here is what I mean

 

Twilight's pendant can detect, track and pull in magical energy right? What if there is a lot more magical energy in the world than we think? Cause remember in the first EQG when they made Sunset taste the rainbow and the magic of friendship? Remember when happened right after they blasted her? a massive beam of energy shot into the sky and the same is true in Rainbow Rocks when they beat the Sirens.

 

Point I am making here is...Where did all that energy/magic go? Did it just vanish? I don't think so because they'd acknowledged that some of her crowns magic stayed behind and remember when Midnight Sparkle was blasting holes in dimensions? Whose to say that didn't have any lasting effects even if Sunset patched them up. However thats just my personal head-canon for how the movies could use scenes from its past to set things up but lets take a different apporch to this.

 

The human world is a "direct mirror" of Equestria right? And Starswirl the breaded has already banished one group of villains there, whose to say he didn't do it to others? Hell whose to say Celestia and Luna didn't do this? So they could have possibly sent many villains there for the humans the deal with. Another thing could be that old villains from the series could go to the human world in an attempt to rule it seeing as how they'd think there are no elements of harmony there to stop them.

 

Though my best theory on this would be that in the 4th movie something happens that releases a BUNCH of rouge magic into the human world probably at the fault of Human world Sunset Shimmer whom after helping defeat the threat of the movie dedicates herself to redeeming her mistake and joins the human 6 as a replacement for Sunset Shimmer who goes back to the pony world.

 

Really due to the lack of info its hard to craft theories on this but I tried. what do you all think? Is a spin off show possible? How do you think it could work? Are there any villains you'd like to see come to the human world or what new villains would you maybe like to see? Post your comments below and as always TASTE THE RAINBOW!

I do think a Equestria Girls series is possible, if not already in the works. It can work just like FIM does with them trying to fix a small magical problem. I know Sunset said in FG that "it's been quiet since the battle of the bands"so that kinda hints that nothing really happens in the human world but now that Sci-Twi's pendant kinda unleashed magic hell in the human world and magical problems could pop up anywhere at anytime now.

 

So I do think they should make a spin-off it could work fine like FIM and all the brony saying they won't watch it will watch for a matter of a fact cause its still MLP.

Eh, IMO if they were going to make an EQG spin off they should try and go full magical girl route to try and differentiate it from the FIM universe.

I would actually like an Equestria Girls spin off series.

Especially if it were to go more magical girl route rather than slice of life.

I'd still want to see a cross between EQG/MLP with Persona(which will probably never, ever, ever happen). I want to be able to spread the magic of friendship and make social links while being able to summon gods and demons with the power of said friendship. Just like in Persona

Thinking about it more, going a magical girl route might work if they do it correctly. I can already see the power rangers and magical girl references now xD However keeping the slice of life and adventure aspect is key because the biggest thing you have to try and do is make the series its own thing but at the same time try and make it interwoven with the original MLP canon in order to build hype and such...that's just my opinion though

^ very good point indeed, hopefully in EQG 4 they give some explanation as to wtf is going on
