There are various reasons why that will never happen &/or why that is a horrible idea.

Plus everyone knows AJ would hate being an Alicron, Dash & Pinkie should NEVER be trusted with that much power, & Fluttershy is to timid to rule anything.

Plus there's a chance the title of princess will go to Rarity's head. :gotcha:


No the only other ponies to be alicornied shall be Twist & Big Mac. :gotcha:

Wait! What if it's a time travel movie and Twilight and the others have to go back in time to ensure Equestria even exists?

It's a live action CGI hybrid. There's a scene of Twilight consulting with the Talking Princess Twilight Sparkle (R) toy. :-I

Honestly, I genuinely could see them going the standard "transported out of cartoon" route, given that there's a vector in terms of Discord. :pinkieshrug: I hope they don't, as that story is very rarely done well, but I could see it potentially happening.

And that's how Rarity conqured Equestria! :gotcha:

@Venusy: I highly HIGHLY doubt they would go that route, this isn't Spongebob or Rocky&Bullwinkle. Plus they heavily stated it was a fully animated feature. They would have just said live action had it been that.

I don't see that storyline being done, they already did it with EQG in a sense.

Honestly, I'd be pretty disappointed if the three-year wait ends with something as "been there, done that" as CGI ponies except IN THE REAL WORLD! :twonk: Especially since there's so much potential in the whole setting of Equestria. I'm already kinda concerned because of the writer, I just can't help but think the script will end up being generically bland, boring and mostly divorced from the usual tone of the series. Call me a pessimist, but Joe Ballarini's history doesn't exactly inspire confidence. :pinkieshrug:

Still, I suppose I'm cautiously excited and mildly interested. My number one wish right now is that it's traditionally animated rather than being CGI or Flash, but that's really unlikely due to the cost associated with traditional animation. :fluttersmith: Don't get me wrong, the show looks great for a Flash cartoon, but that's the thing: it's good for a Flash cartoon, but I don't think it really compares to well-done traditional animation, like Gravity Falls for example. And that's just a TV cartoon, movie animation generally has even higher standards than GF, let alone Flash.

Eh, he might not be the only writer on this project. I can see the actual show writers having a major input as well and Meghan herself might do some work on it.

I hope it's something like someone here suggested and he's only penning the basic script which the actual writers of the show can then freely edit to their liking. So just a screenwriters guild regulations thing instead of Hasbro thinking bringing some low-key screenwriter in is going to help the movie or something.

I think that's what is happening with his involvement...they probably did it to give the movie more credit by having an "OFFICAL HOLLYWOOD SCREENWRITER :flail: " on the project and make it look good.

You know what would've been hilarious though? If this was written by M.A. Larson and then in 2017 everyone is confused because they went to see the big budget My Little Pony movie and the credits say it was written by some complete nobody who didn't even bother to include his first name in there. :gotcha:

Like I said before, my guess is that Meghan McCarthy wanted someone with fresh ideas for this movie. The show has had a fairly large roster of writers, especially in seasons 4 and 5, some of whom had barely written anything else at all (especially in the case of Noelle Benvenuti; she wrote Maud Pie despite apparently having no other writing credits, and that episode was a huge hit). We already know that Meghan and the gang will be working on this movie, so I am certain that all of them can keep it feeling like FiM.

I'd imagine it might just slightly tinge the expectations of the audience though. I mean, come on, My Little Pony by someone who only has his surname on there. If I completely unfamiliar to the franchise, I'd probably go in looking for reasons why the movie is crap after I saw that.

Which is exactly why it would be perfect. :smirk: Every major reviewer would most likely tear it apart for that reason alone. It wouldn't effect my enjoyment of the movie, but would provide some good humor.

I'd imagine they'd make a seperate final for EQG. Maybe a reference to it would be in this movie but that's as far as it would go.

I figured that EqG is enough of its own thing to where those movies will keep going past whenever FiM is done (though it'll most likely end once G5 begins).

Maybe they'll throw Sunset in there, but I doubt the EQG counterparts will play a part in the movie.


And I still doubt it's a series finale, and ,more a transition from phase 2 to phase 3 of FIM.

That's rights we're going full Marvel/DragonBall. :v:

Given how grossly undeveloped the EQG counterparts are, being little more than flanderized versions of the ponies, I would hope not.

That being said, after EQG2, I wouldn't mind seeing more of Sunset Shimmers.

Now to wonder whether they'll pull a Transformers and kill off the Mane 6 to usher in G5, leaving only Spike alive. :gotcha:


Or, in a wacky crossover, the ponies could use the Elements of Harmony to petrify the Transformers, to usher in their next generation.

:pcstare: Twilight, why is there a gigantic car robot man statue standing in the sculpture garden?
:excite: I thought it would look nice!
:pcstare: He has his arm up so as to ward off some sort of horrible divine retribution. Do you know why that is?

This...honestly has potential.

Of course my version would be 90% in Equestria.

Amatuer fanfic hour:

The Mane 6 get put into a deep, magical sleep by...let's say Sombra brought back to life. At the same time human Twilight wanders into Equestria, and gets hoodwinked by, let's say Chrysalis into helping create a threat to Equestria that requires the Elements/Rainbow Power's use. Celestia summons Sunset Shimmer and the HuMane 5, who for some reason have to pretend to be their Equestrian counterparts in real life while they figure out what to do exactly, leading to hilarity and "I can't walk on all fours" jokes. Eventually they have to venture into Chrysalis' kingdom to confront her and Science! Twilight, with Sunset getting a chance to reconcile with Celestia and confront her failure as her student and insecurity as the failure to Twilight's success. Meanwhile, Princess Luna ventures into the Questrian Mane 6's dreams to help wake them up. They all have to face their deepest fears. It all leads to a big giant battle where Science! Twilight is redeemed, Rainbow Dash meets her counterpart, makes a terrible 'double rainbow' joke, and everyone goes home friends.


All that to say I really do hope Sunset and Celestia get their teary eyed reunion moment someday :fluttersmith:

I'll bet my Stetson Celestia & Sunset get that teary eyed reunion moment in either season 5 or 6! *seriously if Twy can use her stargate to visit Dougworld anytime, no reason Sunset can't do the same to visit Equestria, all she has to do is write to Twy in her journal & tell her to open it up.*


But yea, back to the movie. All I can say, I hope who or whatever the villian is, that he/she/it gets a good song! I love villian songs!

Well Initially EQG was supposed to be a one off movie. And I don't think it's seperate in the sense they aren't connected, but seperate in the sense the two groups of chsracters will develop at a different pace/ in different ways. It's basically a seperate stories but part of the same bigger picture. Kind of like multiverse a in comics, they so their own thing, but are also connected to the greater whole, occasionally crossing over for events and what not.

And Sunset is Origionally from Equestria, so yea....

But hey, that's my 2-cents.

:ponder: which also brings up the question of why Sunset bothered staying. She had no ties to the Anthroverse, and surely she has some family back in Equestria, or at least could return to studying under Celestia. Also would be able to live without nearly as many accusing eyes. Twilight and the others would know, but no one else.

Not to mention being able to use magic again.

It's possible Sunset Actually likes bring a human * I mean hands are prett nifty*. It's also possible she feels the need to stay in that world until she feels she's made amends to everyone she wronged at Canterlot hight. Plus as she said in Rainbow Rocks she still has a lot to learn about Friendship, which are experiences she most likely hopes to go through with her friends at CHS.

As for Family in Equestria, either they don't care about her enough to bother asking Celestia what happened to her, or we can pull the Orphan theory away from Scootaloo and say Sunset was a self raised, self made mare. Would kind of explain why she was so power hungry/ determine to be the best.

Edit: And of course they could do a WTF style plot twist and it's revealed Sunset was Celestia's a Daughter all along. :gotcha:

I think it's safe to say Sunset probably has no family since she's been gone for years now.

Also Equestria already has a princess of friendship so if Sunset wants to become royalty she'll have to grow close with her new friends until the time comes for her to accidentally ruin their lives and then make it better with a song.

Then she'll get wings when she transforms into a magical girl.

Also she's probably afraid Celestia still holds a grudge about her eating all of the cake out of the royal refrigerator or before she left.
