Earliest one I know of. He even got theme music! Which is itself not really that unfitting for the actual Discord we got, depending on how you interpret his character.

A lot of people were probably expecting Nightmare Moon II: Electric Boogaloo.

(I joined the fandom at "Luna Eclipsed" so I didn't get a chance to WMG about this).

^From what I remember from my ponychan days, that guy himself was actually art meant for something else and later on people were guessing that Discord would look like that and reused it, but the funny part is that people's pre-stained glass ideas for discord look like Sombra now.

Also, just a side thing, remember how pretty much every art leak for Equestria girls turned out to be true? It's funny how things can work out, isn't it?

If I recall, Equestria Daily used that art when they announced Return of Harmony. Not sure if it was already what people were using for Discord and they just picked it up, or if they're the ones that actually started it by using the picture as a placeholder, but people were still holding it up as what Discord must look like until the actual previews came out.

I believe this is correct, and I think they 'started' it (obviously there's no way of knowing if one dude on an irc room was going "DUDES DISCORD CHECK THIS SHIT OUT" or whatever but I think they were the first 'big name' to pass it around, at the very least they were the first source I remember using it and me going 'oh sweet').

It is a pretty great pic, and not bad music at all, I'd have loved if Sombra looked more like that.

Lucky. From what listings I've seen (I may very well have missed some) the closest showing is either Kansas City (hooray for home cities even if it's a dump) or St. Louis, and those are 2 1/2 hours and a little over 3 hours away respectively, which isn't worth it for any type of movie. Then again, if it was showing here in Springfield, I'm not sure I'd go anyway. Whether that's the fact that it's Equestria Girls or just that I don't go see movies much in theaters anymore, I'm not sure. Probably the latter. I did go see Guardians of the Galaxy though. That was excellent. Anyway, from what I've seen, the TV/digital distribution premier isn't terribly long after the theater run anyway, so I can wait.

I'd probably go if I had someone to see it with, now that I think about it... :pinkieshrug:

The Equestria Dolls Collection is easily the best thing to come out of the EQG toyline, and I don't mean that sarcastically, I really like that they went back to make more movie-accurate dolls, and I feel they look great. Even Twilight has regular wings, and not clear plastic ones.

Seems Kazumi Evans will indeed be Adagio Dazzles voice actor as well as her singing voice.

I look forward to seeing how she sounds when she's not singing.

Kudos to all those who predicted this.

What a coincidence that another singer-only actress found her own character in an EqG villain, now we just need Shannon Chan-Kent to voice one of her allies. :sbahj:

As SoundMonkey found an upcoming EqG Soundtrack, we now have some speculation material from the tracklist:
1. Awesome As I Want to Be
2. Battle
3. Better Than Ever
4. Equestria Girls (Cafeteria Song)
5. A Friend for Life
6. Opening Titles (Remix)
7. Rainbow Rocks
8. Shine Like Rainbows
9. This is Our Big Night (Full Version)
10. Time to Come Together
11. Tricks Up My Sleeve
12. Under Our Spell

#2 is the one from the trailer, #8 is probably the Mane 6 song in the Mane Event, the one we heard a part of a few days ago in that Flash game, and #12 is obviously the same thing by The Dazzlings.
That leaves #11, which I assume is the Trixie song, #7, which I speculate to be the Credits song, #3, which could be the Sunset Shimmer song, and #1 could be anything, maybe an early Mane 5 song?

By the way, this isn't the full list of songs in the movie, as we were told Daniel Ingram composed 11 songs for it, and only 7 new ones are here.

I just wanna say that much like Chrysalis, I'm gonna throw my hat in for 'these villains did nothing wrong' since it looks like they literally feed off negative emotions or conflict or whatever and get sustenance from it considering Aria calls it 'fast food' and 'a meal'.

Maybe ponies need to fuckin adapt to a new paradigm instead of banishing every sentient species that is higher than them on the food chain.

Sci-Fi almost universally presents Mankind being domesticated by someone higher on the foodchain as a bad thing. Why do we expect anything more from ponies? You know what you become when you willing surrender yourself to predators? You become a cow. Existing to be slaughtered for food.

Who wants to be a cow? Willingly I mean. I doubt cows even want to be cows. They've just accepted it because the don't have the power to alter the situation.

Giving up your place on the food chain when the predators are more or less taking your position by force isn't being nice, it's being spineless.

Was it ever established that all changelings fed on love? Between Adiago's glowy green eyes in that other trailer with the cafeteria and the prominent translucent bug wings on the Dazzlings' toys, they gotta be both insect-related and are emotion feeding creatures of some kind. Though at the same time, if they're actually evil Breezies that would be freakin' hysterical :gotcha:

They've been confirmed as sirens. But again yes, they could be in the same family of creatures as Changlings, only they don't Change form. They just sing and absorb negative emotions to get their power. If we are comparing them to pre-existing ponies, perhaps sirens are the modern equivalent to Flutterponies. :pinkieshrug:


But yeah, can't wait to see this in the theatre on the 27th *of September that is*

I'm glad Adagio's lackeys have distinct personalities, I'm already liking Sonata a lot. :cheese:

She sort of sounds like Pinkie, I wonder if she's really voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent after all.


Edit - Some more teases from mktoon:

@mktoon Banishment!? Celestia again?
@Dusty_Kat Not Celestia.... ;-)


@mktoon Firts So We Will See More In The Upcoming Weeks ?
@Chevistian1 Mmmmmmmmaybe :-)
Looks like there's someone else doing the banishing out there. :pcstare:

Well considering banishment or imprisionment are Celestias go to punishments it's not a surprise.

And I think saying the movie will be bad/lazy just because of that is silly, by that logic every 2-parter is weak/lazy as well. It's easy to tell the team put a heck of a lot more effort & fun into this one then the first movie. Last time they were just trying to figure out what the heck they were gonna do, now they seem to be more confident and focused on making sometihing fun/entertaining.

As for how long ago they were banished. I have my own crazy conspiracy theory about time in that world being super slow compared to Equestria. Or it's an Archie/Simpsons thing and time doesn't matter so they're teens forever.

In retrospect being stuck in a world where you're enternally a teen is a pretty harsh punishment.

:gotcha: and there my dear dazzles, Highschool never ends.
