Seems like the background of that picture is the same that appears briefly in the Frienship Games trailer:

So I guess the third movie will set up the plot of the fourth one.

I would've never guessed we'd learn more about the Everfree Forest in EqG, but considering it was mentioned in FiM that the plants/animals/weather there work more like in our reality than theirs, I guess they could conjure up some sort of connection to explain it.

I get this feeling that with the movie three-pack releasing with the third movie, this is going to be something else. While I doubt a TV series is even possible (with G4 slowly heading for its probable finale in 2017, starting an EqG TV series now would just be weird), I think it might be a web mini-series or something. No real evidence though but fuck it that's just me going by feel here

^ I'd expect a series to have a more generic title, like "Friendship is Magic", unless it's a series of shorts that tells a single story, but then again they're already making shorts together with the movies, so I can't see them stopping the latters in favor of the formers.

Plus, the G4 finale thing is just mere speculation, I've seen theories about the imminent end of the series ever since I started watching the show, and yet there's more content being produced nowadays than ever before. :pinkieshrug:

That looks like the tear that is visible in the Friendship Games trailers that Dougworld Twilight presumably opens during the events of Friendship Games, so another Altworld, presumably with more magic for the Dougworlders to explore.

I can't imagine what doll line they can get to go off of this one with. I mean, first time around is prom, then battle of the bands, then sports, now what could this be? Halloween stuff?

Yea this is an Ever After High ripoff, which is fitting because this has always been a Monster High ripoff so might as well rip off what ripped off the thing we're ripping off.

It actually makes a sort of sense. In FiM, the Everfree is a completely mundane place where Equestrian magic either isn't present or isn't necessary, so in Dougworld, the Everfree would of course be the one magical place there.

It's a bit difficult to call it a ripoff when it's doing far more successful than what you're claiming it ripped off. No one ever calls Transformers a ripoff of Gobots.

Seems like they reused an asset. I don't know if that specific area will be explored seeing as how it shouldn't really exist.

I notice that the toy descriptions say the male counselor is interested in one of the girls, and I couldn't help but notice Rainbow was getting pretty close to him near the end of the trailer. I figured it would be Twilight or Sunset, but now I wonder if they're going to be giving Rainbow a romantic interest.

As a person who really didn't like Friendship Games, I am a lot more optimistic for this movie. A lot of the problems I had with Friendship Games came from Twilight, the forced, plot-hole filled conflict, and the villain. However, this is looking better, since the villain seems to be a supernatural entity and all the Twilight stuff was resolved. It looks a little generic, but considering how Rainbow Rocks took a kind of cliche plot and made it interesting again, I can say I am looking forward to this.

Once they reveal the writer of the movie, I'll be able to adjust my expectations a bit. It'll probably be Josh Haber (just because he is the Story Editor for Season 6 and he wrote Friendship Games), but I am curious to see a different writer tackle a movie. I'm sure many of the writers would kill for the opportunity to write beyond a 22 minute plot.

Writers have been revealed as Joanna Lewis and Kristine Songco who have written Castle Sweet Castle, Rarity Investigates, Hooffields and McColts and Gauntlet of Fire.

A pretty solid track so far so I'm cool with this.

Oh good, the start of October means this movie will be the appropriate amount of spookiness to set the tone for Halloween. Halloween is my favorite holiday.
:modesty:

On the plus side, airing it on Netflix rather then TV means they can tell as much story as they want without having to cram everything into a scheduled format.
:allears:

This is also interesting for the possible potential future of ponies. Would it be easier to air ponies on streaming services like Netflix or keep them on a TV network? I imagine if things get sour with the networks they have a valid alternate option now.

In a wonderful world, I bet Netflix would market the heck out of MLP if Hasbro gave it to them to air instead of Discovery Family, I also bet way more people watch the show on Netflix than live.

The only gripe I have with them is that they do seem to pick some pretty standard plots ("Hooffields and McColts" especially), but if they can add their own MLP twist to the cliches (such as in "Rarity Investigates", in my opinion, which makes fun of a lot of the old noir movies), then I would say we are in safe hands.

On another note, it wasn't Josh Haber! :awesomedash:

Interesting how it felt like only the biggest writers would be getting the movies, but that feeling has tailed off. Then again, @lady_writers have been a prominent part of the show since S5, which can enough nowadays to be a big writer.

Meanwhile, note this is a Saturday - it's likely there will be a new regular episode as well that day. Not the season finale, but extrapolating the schedule we could be as late as episode 22-23 by then.

I think it's just because the last three movies have been written by whoever was the "Story Editor" at the time, so it's easy to automatically suspect Josh Haber. I certainly did.

Anyway, about the Saturday part- that is true! Hopefully both the episode and the movie turn out good, and then it'll be the perfect day. :awesomedash:

Well that was surprisingly horrfying. As someone who loves Midnight Sparkle, both design and concept wise, I'll admit I'm perfectly okay with having her back.

As someone who highly disliked Midnight Sparkle and her usage in "Friendship Games", I'm actually excited about this. This adds depth to this version of Twilight that I felt was kind of lacking in "Friendship Games", and could even have her go through an arc similar to the one Sunset Shimmer went through in "Rainbow Rocks". She has to combat her fears, with Midnight Sparkle as the embodiment of what she once was and what she could become.

Okay, I'm seeing some real potential this time. It's still strange to me that they're adopting fan names for characters despite it happening before. It doesn't really bug me but it's a bit surreal that this is a thing that they keep doing.whoops I'm dumb and wrong here! Still, I'm glad they're developing Doug-Twilight's character some more and that they're doing more with the only cool scene from the last movie.

Someone help I'm getting excited for an EqG movie. :cry:

I was under the assumption that Midnight Sparkle was a fan name as she was never mentioned by name in the movie. Maybe there was a toy that used that name or something? I've only really heard it used in fanworks.
