Ideal situation would be Celestia, Luna and Cadance fighting off the invasion, and Scooby Gang going on a quest for the magic McGuffin that would break the stalemate.

Or maybe do what they did when Discord overthrew them. Work on the outside to defeat him while the others go get the magic whatever.

Truth be told, a half-assed "we have to go visit ____" to get them out of the way would be preferable to them just getting captured/defeated.

What makes you think that? Her mane? It does kind of look like a fish fin.

:gotcha: or maybe it's to communicate with her magic arrow.

:ponder: did any of the seaponies have horns?

Some of the images from the Movie Art Book are floating around. They show things like backgrounds (some of them from planning that didn't make it into the final version of the movie) as well as character sketches and bios, and some details around the updated version of Canterlot.

The Art Book is due to come August 29th so beware of spoilers after it's out since Rarity's bio already confirms she makes a "lifelong friend" with her generosity and the popular fandom theory is it'll be Capper but who knows.So i imagine the full book will have at least a spoiler or two

Capper is only using Rarity to get to Opel. :v:

So character bios are out that reveal a lot of various plot points so don't read if you wanna avoid spoilers

Some of the things I found interesting

So I was right that Skystar is a hippogriph... but apparently so are all the seaponies

Tempest Shadow apparently will be the one to take out all the Princesses except Twilight, not the Storm King. Still this is a step up for them considering half the other things they've lost to in the show.

Capper is a former noble and I'm starting to think Rarity will be the one involved in his subplot just as Dash will be in Celano's.

Also now we seem to have an explanation for Celano wearing that Storm King-branded outfit in the trailer since at the beginning of the movie, her and her pirates are flunkies for him.

Grubber's suggests that not only is he not all that bad (meaning by the end of the movie the Storm King will probably be the only villain not to have a face turn) but that the rest of the Storm King' s soldiers are from his species. He's just small for his kind

Only interesting bit to me about Novo is that she likes martinis? ..... soooo rated PG?

Finally nothing surprising about Tempest Shadow. Knew her broken horn was linked to her turning heel, will definitely have a face turn in the movie. Only possible surprises left will be if they decide to up the stakes by having her sacrifice herself. Doubt it, but hey.

:-/ There was also this line from the German synopsis, assuming the translation is accurate.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/07/ ... s-and.html


Tempest can quickly overwhelm the princesses of the Day, Night and Family. However, Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship, will not give up so easily.


:amazing: We were wrong. The other Princesses aren't getting worfed by the big bad guy with a magic stick. They're getting worfed by his sidekick with a broken horn.




:roll: Keep lowering that creativity bar, writers.

EQD took down the post (which is why I took it out of my post) and apparently it originally came from a Facebook post for some fan page. If it were fake EQD normally leaves up the post and just amends it to say the info is fake.

The only reason I'm willing to take it at face value is that it matches up with the translations from the German synopsis we got last week.

I went to go see the Equestria Girls movies in theaters and both of them were sold out after I got my ticket. Of course, I would want to go see a proper pony movie in theaters. Besides, I don't care about stigma. What's the point of being an adult if you can't enjoy what you like?

I probably won't go see it in theaters. I watch this show for the slice of life episodes. I haven't enjoyed the big adventure stories in quite a while. :pinkieshrug:

I doubt I'll see it in theaters. Too much self loathing and shame.

Depending on how it reviews will determine if I go see it in theaters. I can't afford to go to too many movies, and Kingsman 2 is coming out around that time and if the movie looks like it'll be bad I can just wait until they rush it out ok DVD and hopefully it'll just get put on Netflix.

I'll avoid seeing it here in Germany. I hate the voices of the German voice-cast and I'm not a fan of the translation job from the few episodes I watched in German.
The German trailer reinforced my distaste. I will wait for the original version floating on the Internet.
IF, and ONLY IF there is a showing of the film with the original voices in a cinema near me I consider going to the cinema for that.
I highly doubt that it'll be the case. Only the very popular and more adult movies get an English screening here. I've never seen a children's movie in English available at my local cinema, not even the Disney/Pixar movies.

People pirates have parrots on their shoulder, so parrot pirates should have monkeys on their shoulder.

I don't know if plugging your own stuff is frowned upon here, but I made a short joke video about the movie trailer:
