I'll never get that image of lunch lady Granny Smith out of my head.

But where's Spike?

:yikes: I'm in the doghouse. But they did give me some yummy doggie biscuits.

They never implied that there was a Dougworld-native version of Spike, did they? Maybe this is proof that our Twilight (or at least our Spike) is not going back through the mirror.

I know of at least one other song that rocks so hard as to cause a transformation mid song:

What I wonder is: will this version involve their pony forms at all?

I suspect it'll have to, if just briefly; and that will likely be the only reason for the rainbow-fied pony designs that we've seen. I.e. we won't be seeing rainbow ponies in the actual show.

...I guess?

Imho, with all the Rainbow cues we've had in Key episodes, there's no way we aren't seeing the rainbow-fied outcome in Season 4.

I think that's a given now, assuming there is an S5 at all. So who's up for another Long Ponyless Year of insanity? :amazing:

EDIT: Goddammit now I can't get that awful song out of my head. It's the same ten words over and over again someone kill me :gonkity:

Yep, this is basically JEM with pony girls, nothing surprising here. Also lol @ human diamond dogs.

The only real mystery now is... Who will voice DJPON3/Vinyl Scratch!?

And what Deus ex-machina will Twy use to her back to & from the human world this time!?*i bet it's the rainbow powers*


So yeah EQG is still diet MLP, all the cute with none of the soul. But hey better this be the fate of annual spin-off films then the actual show right!? *knockonwood*

And calling it now S5 won't start till Jan 15, maybe this December if we're lucky!

Actually, when Pinkie implied that there is an EG-native version of Twilight, EG-native Spike the dog was also mentioned/implied.

I actually think that because it doesn't appear to be having any breaks for the time being, I think when the season ends in May, it'll probably start up again in September/October. I don't think the pony break will be that long this year.

E: I didn't even notice the clip! That cop should totally be a character. :gotcha:

I would love to believe that, but I'm not so sure, unless Habsro/DHX secretly have Sonic & The Flash on their animation team. XD


Any who back to the topic at hand

At this point I think we can all agree EQG is Diet Pony, Pony Light, what have you, all the cuteness and the catchy songs, but none of the heart & soul. And personally I'm fine with that. Let EAG be the mediocre cooperatly mandated work, if that means that means FIM can keep its soul, I can deal with one cheesy turn your brain off popcorn fun flick per a year.

And hey, at least this one is totally 80s :gotcha: Give me JEM over HSM/Glee anyday! XD


Also, wonder why we didn't get any Trixie, Adaigo Dazzle or Sunset Shimmer in the trailer? Saving the villains for a longer spot I guess!? :pinkieshrug:


Edit: This fan made music video now Justifies EQGs existence for me. :gotcha: :awesomedash:

I'm not even going to watch this ironically, unless it gets shown in one of the animation meetings in Rotterdam. Though the host always tries his darnest to find the most obscure, underground, terrible things, so I suppose he wouldn't play this to begin with. It would be too easy... :v:

I don't think it will be an abomination to bee honest. I mean, in my personal taste, I feel like Equestria Girls is at least better than the worst episodes of the show. The only thing that I feel was awful was Flash Sentry, who felt crammed in for the sake of a "crush character". Without him, no impact on the plot would be made.

Meh, I hated the original as well. I didn't just dislike it, I actually hated it. I watched it with The Artrix, ask him...

I know this is just a teaser and they didn't even post a plot synopsis yet, but... Humanized ponies in a high school band. I'm sorry, but I cannot imagine myself being able to sit through this.

Short of them using the Rainbow Power to force the portal back open, I don't know how EqG2 will be able to justify Twilight going back, if that is indeed even the case. It's not like Dougworld has any magic of its own, either, since when Twilight took the Element of Magic and left, the other five went back to normal.

My face when I realized this was really a thing.

But unseemly schadenfreude aside, I'm legit pleased. For me the first EQG already takes rewatch priority over dozens of the show's lesser episodes (looking at you Baby Cakes, Games Ponies Play and Flight to the Finish), and the electrifying audience response at the theater screening is still the most positive experience I've had with the fandom. It's just hilarious campy fun.

I'm riding this new guitar-spaceship wherever DHX decides to pilot it.

I don't think I'd want that many songs in an actual FiM movie. Presumably it would have an actual story to tell (as opposed to just being a vehicle for goofy-ass rocking out).

Man, Sunset Shimmer reforming and trying to fill the replacement-Twilight role was the only really promising thing EqG set up for a possible continuation but she's not in that trailer at all. I wouldn't be surprised if McCarthy did at least bring her up in the script as a nod to continuity nerdery but even so bringing Twilight back (even if it's the humanquestria version of her) is really the laziest direction they could've gone in.

I'm betting Sunset will play a minor/supporting role like DJPON3. Either that or maybe be part of Brad, er I mean Flash's band.

I thought we had confirmation that DJ-PON3 was not a role, at least not that "Dazzle" role we thought she was?

And dang, I feel like I'm the only person who is going to attempt to watch this unironically. I mean sure, it might not be good and will probably be like the other, but I don't want to say "WORST FIM THING EVER" just yet. :fluttersmith:

She's featured prominently in the trailer, she's getting a doll, she may not be dazzle, but she probsbly still has a role to play.


Edit: I'm not watching anything ironically, I'm watching it because I want to, I just don't expect it to be anything more then fun 80s JEM style cheese
