MOAR SCREENTIME FOR SUNNY

I wouldn't mind seeing this as long as it doesn't interfere with the production of FiM, which it shouldn't if I'm reading the article correctly since a different company is licensed to make it... But wouldn't that mean they'd have to use Twilight's human counterpart instead of her herself, since she obviously would be in the Equestrian dimension?

 

Meaning, either they'd have to break canon and make pony Twilight leave Equestria for good, or they'd have to bring in the human counterpart that has no clue about anything that's gone on so far and would be incredibly awkward.

Even though I prefer them as little ponies rather than teenage girls, just give me some Rarity. I won't be complaining

The end is neigh. What if they stop ponies altogether. I mean, don't you think it was kind of hard for the writers to adjust the change with alicorn twilight? what if there's another crazy change like that in the season 4 finale?

[Scootalove 10,689]

As long as they don't do anything irrational, I won't complain.

I'd be fine with this as long as it doesn't interfere with Friendship is Magic. 

[Andaasonsan 3,205]

The end is neigh.

This is the best horse pun ever

 

You could easily have a job at DHX with that talent.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

As long as Hasbro doesn't screw up I'm good with this.

The reactions of about half the fandom

 

My reaction to this

[Wind Chaser 4,768]

It's a thing. It exists. Life goes on. In the end, that's all I think about it.

 

The worst that could happen is that it could delay the production of future seasons and bring even more negative light to the franchise as a whole if it screws up, but I won't knock it before I try it, though I have serious doubts about DHX and Hasbro's collective efficiency seeing how season 4 may have started late because of EqG and some screwups such as breaks in the seasons that may have been for reasons other than scheduling conflicts and certain episodes airing out of order.

So you'll complain if they do something rational?

 

OT: Meh, I don't care. I don't watch MLP much anymore. :3

My bad, I meant irrational.

[BookwormGomez 50]

Honestly. I can't wait wait to see how this goes.

[LED Dasher 228]

This is alright. I just hope that Hasbro will still focus the MAJORITY of their time on MLP.

[hawkflame 3,310]

Equestria Girls was pretty good. So why is this a bad thing?

[Orablanco Account 3,707]

Just...

 

...just whatever, I'm done. Just done, forever. From this moment onward, I will cease the EQG-bashing. I mean, EQG's mere existence further removes us from ever getting a real pony movie, makes us all look even weirder in the muggles' eyes, and may very well take away manpower/effort from the show we all actually like, but whatever. I'm not bitter or anything. Not anymore. Nope. No siree. You guys go ahead and enjoy your at most amusing 90 minute distractions that I'm willing to bet you would not give two flipping craps about if it wasn't for the fact that they look and kind of act like characters you like. You know, the characters on the show that's already great because the creators actually want to work on it. The one Hasbro keeps acting like it doesn't attract a huge audience range because they are, for whatever reason, afraid to capitalize on that and hate money.

 

Look, my opinion will probably soften into a state of jaded indifference in a few days, and who knows, maybe this series suddenly turns into Pixar-quality productions out of nowhere. But as it stands...just whatever.

Meh, we'll see how it plays out.

[StitchandMLPlover 930]

I'm not surprised Hasbro would want to make an Equestria Girls TV series. When the first movie came out I saw articles that said the movie was the start to an entire spin off series but that the spin off would be separate from FIM and be a different canon that has no barring on the pony universe or pony plots. 

[Megas 27,628]

I'm with the "as long as it doesn't interfere with FiM" crowd, so...

 

[M'aiq the Liar 5,804]

Because the girls toy market needed more Bratz tv specials. That is exactly what they needed. More highschool cliches banking off some familiar faces. Well, unless the quality of EqG skyrockets from what I saw during the 1st movie, I will not be watching this.

Whoops, almost forgot the thread theme.

No one asked for Equestria Girls and yet they make this. Oh man, they want to compete with Barbie for humanoid toy figures.

 

I'm still banking if they make an actual pony movie and not a spinoff though.

[XxConfusedUnicornxX 834]

No... Please no... EG was enough.

[Forlong 1,726]

What is this?  The fandom actually reacting to this franchise without any serious drama?  I don't have to tell everypony to calm the Tartarus down?

 

The first movie and comic book were a success.  And the YouTube shorts have been getting views in the millions.  Everything we've collectively done has told them that the show is a good idea.

[Kawaii Besu 28,011]

This song pretty much explains my opinions on this...

 

 

However, by judging of the commercial success and fairly high critical ratings of the first movie, and the possible critical and commercial success of the next EqG movie, this will probably be fun to watch, just like FiM.

[Scoots and Dash 208]

I'm finished judging a book by its cover. I thought Equestria Girls was a pretty good movie. As long as they don't do anything really silly with it that affects MLP:FiM, I'm fine with whatever they come up with.
