Equestria Girls: Friendship Games - Sept 26

Postby Wayoshi (?) » Wed Jul 01, 2015 10:29 pm

Here we go. It looks like Hasbro is content to let this be a TV premiere, probably in lieu of a S5 episode on this Saturday.

Dougworld!Twi has found herself in Crystal Prep Academy, the antagonist school in this movie. But Dougworld!Twi is undoubtedly the focus character finally, which is a welcomed addition.

FRIEND GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES?!

Also these must be some really high-falutin' high schools if they have archery competitions.

At the S5 Premiere event I hosted, I told a bunch of people I was more excited about this movie than I was Season 5 itself.

I still am. :awesomedash:

I just wish we knew for sure it was going to have a theatrical release or not. It kinda doesn't look like it yet. :fluttersmith:

If anything, I'm sure they'll say at comic con. If they don't say anything by then, I'd then be concerned there is no movie release. Which would be too bad, since I can't watch it on TV, so I would have to wait a bit. It was nice to see Rainbow Rocks around my birthday last year, it would be nice to do the same for this.

Anyway, about the movie itself, I continue to enjoy this more so than the main series at this point. I mean, now it looks heavily evident that there won't be pony Twilight, and the focus will be the "Mane 5" and Sunset, trying to maybe win Twilight over. And without pony Twilight (though she'll probably have an appearance if Sunset writes to her), Equestria Girls can get off the FiM crutch and maybe do a bit more with itself.

And with Twilight (EQG) reverting back to the "new girl", it really looks like it could actually go back to having some S1 feels to it.

A little disappointed it's not getting a theater release and that it's not between seasons. While I still enjoy most episodes of the show more, I enjoyed the mid-drought injection of pseudo-pony the previous movies provided. Unless the next break is much shorter it'll be a really excruciating wait.

Rainbow Rocks was definitely a highlight for the series so I'm getting hyped for this already.

Also, is it just me or is the sound mastering in this trailer really awful? The music drowns out all of the dialogue

So in addition to Twilight, we have Suri, Jet Set, Upper Crust, Trenderhoof, and the background ponies Pokey Pierce and Neon Lights attending Crystal Prep

Wonder who else we'll see that goes there. Hoping for Cadance and Shining Armor somewhere on the movie.

Good catch. I didn't recognize any of them except for Trenderhoof.

Since the last movie didn't even play in my state, a TV airing is much more convenient (and easy to record), but the other issue is commercial breaks cutting into the airtime.

I like how Ishii decided to take all the anime influences in Rainbow Rocks and pump them on steroids for Friendship Games

School Grand Sports and Cultural Festival! I mean Friendship Games!

That's one big disappointment for me. I wanted all-out Villain Twilight for this. Not Twilight-Shy who doesn't like her school.

Still looks like fun though. I'm also hoping that there's no visit from Pony-Twilight, and that outside maybe a few back and fourths through the magic diary, she plays no part in this film. It's Sunset Time.

Eh I never expected that to happen nor did I really want it to.

I mean she can still be into science, and not be Friendship Princess Twilight Sparkle, Befriender of all!

But a cackling mad scientist Twilight would have been a step too far.

Seems like Crystal Prep has an evil coach/headmistress/stepmother. I wonder if Cadance exists in Dougworld.

Just wanted another opinion, this animation looks like it's still using the same programs the show and previous films? This job listing seems like it would either be the 2017 movie or this one, since they're the only two that would have work started around the time this was posted.
http://vancouver.dhxmedia.com/job_descr ... %20Artists
It mentions using Toon Boom. However, the animation doesn't seem that much different, and considering this was a job looking for a story board artist which would mean they would have to wait a while for some responses, and then them needing to story board, then animate, then score, it probably couldn't be this movie?

It's not this one. I brought it up in the movie thread, specifically because of the timeframes involved, which make it obvious that the listing is absolutely for the 2017 Pony movie, and that one will thus be animated in Toon Boom Harmony. This one is normal Flash stuff, as before.

I love how it looks like Twilight's been skipping the weekly Evil Dramatic Poses 101 class.

I just hope they don't play off the entire school as jerks, with the exception of Twilight.

I will be dumbstruck if Twilight doesn't wind up transferring to Canterlot High or, at the very least, starting some kind of Friendship Brigade at Crystal Prep.

It would be fantastic if this Twilight became the main villain.

You know she will, that much is nearly obvious. She's definitely going to transfer by the end of the film. They look like they're playing off the other school as stuck up and snotty, and that Twilight doesn't fit in. Look at the posture and facial expressions in that group shot of everyone but Twilight. They all look so smug. Even Suri is with them.

She might be at the end, as Toyfair revealed "Midnight Sparkle"

You do realize that that might actually be pretty massive spoilers though, right? :-I

I agree, and have swapped it - though technically since it's an official source it's not a spoiler per forum rules. Still, mouse over at your own peril now!

I mean, IIRC the original Toy Fair video that revealed that umm... transformation was posted here with a warning for massive spoilers, so I figured it should be still considered one. I guess we'll likely see it in the movie.

Except it's the name of a doll, that shouldn't count as a spoiler as it's being released. I can find it on a Toys R Us shelf when it comes out well before the movie.


It shouldn't count as a spoiler if it's revealed by Hasbro, when they say at the booth "We can't say much about this, but here is the toy."

Also, I'd kind of appreciate not having my posts censored when it's something Hasbro reveals themselves. It shouldn't be a spoiler at that point. If it was a leak, that should be different. But this was a public reveal. What should be censored is if I said I knew the how it happened.

It's not censored. Nothing was deleted. I stuck it under spoiler text so people could go 'Okay, this may have plot spoilers, if I want to see them I can mouse over them'.

As noted, I don't think it's against the forum rules. At the same time, I do think it's better off leaving it hidden for now.

It's fine. You're technically in the right as forum rules go - but if you are right, due to the magnitude of what it could mean, I just want to err on the side of overcautious, that's all!

So when Dougworld Twilight finishes her thesis, she'll become... a school principal?

No, it's a group project, and after the all turn it in together, Twilight's the only one who is recognized for the work and then becomes principal. :-I
