Exactly how much influence do we have on the show?

I'll believe that we have real influence when Vinyl Scratch changes into red eyes.

 

I don't believe their bullshit that Equestria Girls happened because they saw all the fanart around. Remember Fighting is Magic.

They did Equestria Girls because they wanted another line of toys and made it so it would ride on MLP's success.

You know, Iv always heard about how they released a song but, Iv never been able to listen to it mostly because I cant seem to find it. It is up on EqD, I would love to see it.

I don't know were it is, but i remember hearing about it on youtube a bunch.

If someone could find a link to it that would be much appreciated.

To be frank; the whole Equestria Girls movie seemed more like fan service than it should have been.

How ironic. The one thing DHX put out that I truly hate and that was meant to appeal to me, and by extension us, anyway.

 

So, I have recently re-watched the Equestria Girls movie and I have noticed a lot of things in the movie that I didn't notice the first time I watched it. A lot of the things I did notice, seemed to be hints and shout outs to the fandom.

 

An example of this would be when Vinyl's glasses are taken off, and you see her true eye color for the first time. I know that seeing her eye color was something that was wanted by the fandom for a long time. There was also a scine where Rainbow dash picks up Scootaloo and fly's her around the room. Hints to a future Rainbow and Scootaloo episode perhaps?  My guess to this would be one of two things, the creators put these seines in the movie by coincidence or perhaps they purposely did this to make a shout out to the fandom.

 

A little while back I made a similar post to this one but, this time Im certain that we have a bigger influence on the show then we might think. In that post some people thought it was a good thing and some people thought it was a bad thing that there was this kind of interaction between the creators and us, the fandom.

 

My question to everypony is how much of an influence do you think we actually have on the show, if you do think we have one. And do you think that these seines were hints/shout outs to the fandom or that Im just taking this to far and that they were more likely to only be coincidence? Id also like to see what your thoughts are if you still think this is something you look forward to or dislike.

Hopefully, not that much. Not all ideas the fandom has are top notch.
