SticksLikeGlue 91 January 28, 2016 Share January 28, 2016 (edited) Is it just me, or does anyone else hate these live action Equestria Girls music videos? I know that Hasbro is all over this, but they could've done a better job then this. Sure its a cool project, but was it really necessary? I just find it cringy Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks: Friendship Games: Edited January 28, 2016 by Crescent Fire 1 Thanks to @Kyoshi for the awesome signature!

Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,367 January 28, 2016 Share January 28, 2016 Yeah, they are pretty bad. Not the worst thing I have ever seen, but do we really need this kind of High-School musical-esque stuff for movies that are already pretty close to HSM? The second one actually went away from that concept a bit and yet it too got one of those weird videos. I guess I just see little to no point to those videos. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Qiviut 22,386 January 28, 2016 Share January 28, 2016 All three are really terrible. The signing and acting are really forced, and the music itself is trying to be modern just for the sake of it. They're trying to show joy when it's all a bunch of stereotypes to pander to adolescent girls. There's really no point in them at all. 4 "Talent is a pursued interest." — Bob Ross Pro-Brony articles: 1/2/3/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its so that Hasbro can persuade kids just enough to get their parents to buy them merch. 1 Thanks to @Kyoshi for the awesome signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Piranha 29,419 January 29, 2016 Share January 29, 2016 I knew beforehand they're just forced now dead teen musical videos pandering to preteen girls. I didn't bothered to watch any.

WindShear 532 January 29, 2016 Share January 29, 2016 I would have to agree that these are pretty terrible. Honestly I don't think I have ever even managed to get halfway through watching one before closing the tab. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megas 27,576 January 29, 2016 Share January 29, 2016 Yeah they're really dumb. I hope they soon decide to go the stop motion dolls or the 3D mini routes instead. I actually like those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerpyFIM4 70 January 29, 2016 Share January 29, 2016 They are all bad and there is zero reason for them to exist. You chose to make the humans cartoons in the movie, so no backsies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloquence 2,076 January 29, 2016 Share January 29, 2016 As everyone has already said, they're terrible and cringey. What I really dislike about them though are the costumes, they did absolutely nothing to make these kids look like the characters or even like they knew how to dress themselves for that matter. With such recognizable characters, it would have been incredibly easy for them to do a better job. Hell, they could've pulled random cosplayers off the street outside a convention center and they would've done a better job. Of course, it would help make them more recognizable if they didn't use children. Like, I know why they did it, they're trying to appeal to kids, I get that, but the mane six are literally in high school in these movies, and in the show they're adults. They just don't make a very convincing hu-mane six this way at all, which is what I think kids would prefer to see. I mean, they're young, they're not stupid, they know the mane six when they see them and they know that a bunch of kids in cheap ugly costumes ain't it. (But I don't know, maybe that's just my adult bias and I don't really know what kids want after all.

The second one actually went away from that concept a bit and yet it too got one of those weird videos. I guess I just see little to no point to those videos. I apologize in advance for anyone who enjoys the LA videos, my opinion might be harsh and degrading, but nonetheless still reflects my honest thoughts. Until now, I've never actually watched it, rather I AVOID having to...but when I did (just now), I totally agree with Kyoshi; It's not even in good effort: No background, no script, no similarities, and above all, no personality or acting; The actors just seem like girls from comic con, with not a single one reflecting the pony/ human charcter they represent. The whole time I was unable to locate which pony was which. Bad acting and terrible all around. Hasbro needs to step their advertising game up if they ever want their merchandise to be bought. I would have to agree that these are pretty terrible. Honestly I don't think I have ever even managed to get halfway through watching one before closing the tab. Yeah, it got weird REALLY FAST...and I mean the BAD kind of weird Edited January 29, 2016 by RyaN_ 1 *I am the master of my fate* Huge thanks for Kyoshi for this wicked awesome signature!

Riganthor 484 January 29, 2016 Share January 29, 2016 I bet if bronies would come together and try to produce alive action version of EQG for real it would be way better then this. This is as good as a school play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostbyte 70 January 29, 2016 Share January 29, 2016 I agree with all of you, I cringe every time I see or hear about one of these videos: 1. Terrible acting 2. You cant even tell who is who 3. Live action for a cartoon show (never a good idea) 4. What isn't wrong with these videos? Its like Hasbro is trying to compete with Bratz or something, which is kind of disturbing if you ask me...... 2 Signature created by the awesome Pucksterv! https://mlpforums.com/user/32243-pucksterv/ My OC! https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/snowstream-r9013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
