That was legitimately awesome and a lot of fun in a "this is how Vinyl sees the world" stylized kind of way. The CMC running towards the camera was awkwardly animated but everything else was really, really well done.

Rarietty wrote:The only disappointment for me here (or, the only way that EqG2 is going to make me disappointed aside from an apparent lack of Sunset Shimmer) is that Vinyl likes dubstep. I was hoping that they'd crush Brony headcanons by making her a huge fan of 80s electro, and that's where the "80s rockband" setup would come in.

You know, liking either of those isn't mutually exclusive. :-P

Cindy Morrow, Natasha Levinger, Josh Haber and Amy Keating Rogers confirmed to be writing for the shorts. I didn't think they would get actual writers to write for the shorts. I imagined most of that could have been handled by the storyboard artists and director considering how short each one will be.

Yes, because putting :effort: in your spin-offs of popular IPs is soooo wrong. Lord forbid they try to take a crappy coperate mandate and have fun with it/ try to make it enjoyable.

People are overly negative, most media, heck even a fair amount of media concepts that get green lit are flawed as hell, doesn't mean they automagically have to suck or be bad/evil whatever. True A Black Sheep will always be a Black sheep, but that doesn't mean it can't be good for what it is with the right touch.

I split out all the book posts into their own thread, so use this thread to talk about the movie itself and the animated shorts.

So we finally find out what the Rainbooms trademark was for, though I'm not sure what to make of it.
Since the actual movie is coming this Fall, perhaps the Spring part will be the story told by the shorts/book? :pinkieshrug:

Oh, and final confirmation that Trixie will be the main antagonist. :smug:

I like DJPON3, I do, but taking out AJ in ads/stock-art & replacing her with a supporting character is just wrong! Then again one could also argue she was saved from extra embarrassment. :gotcha:

... So dumb, but I kinda liked it? I guess? Liked hearing Trixie sound all herself again. Guess my expectations have been sufficiently lowered at this point.

But I mean, the stupid transformation out of nowhere with the materializing guitar means the others will also have moments like those since these are a set of prequel shorts, which is absolutely asinine. There's no moral at all in here to justify the transformation.

Anyways, I'll take this as a preview of FF #6. :v:

At this point it's painfully obvious the show runners/animators are putting a hella lot more effort into EQG then Hasbro is. Sad given it was Hasbro's idea in the first place. Then again I guess this isnt anything new for Hasbro or cartoons based off toys as a whole. XD.

"Rainbow Dash, I simply don't understand why you can't just play the guitar you have. *sees condition of guitar* Now I understand." :starity:

That there, how should I put it.. just really comes off as weak dialogue. I guess I was expecting something more. It felt like that first sentence was setting up for something humorous but just went with a simple but boring line "now I understand." Rarity's reaction to the broken guitar could've gone many different ways like maybe she could have gone off at Rainbow for the way she takes care of her things or perhaps have Rarity say nothing and instead have it expressed through her body language but they instead went with the most boring option.

Okay, that's about enough ranting over one line. :v: I enjoyed the rest aside from the very start and Pinkie's joke at the end. The shred off was well done. Loved the animation and music. I think the rest of the shorts will end with each of the Mane 6's transformation as they play their instrument. Also it seems like a lot of the moments we saw in the trailer are actually from the shorts.

Am I the only one confused that Rainbow Dash was suddenly able to go all super-sayian and gain wings, and nobody seemed to notice? Even when the rainboom was over, she still had them, and it never occurred to anyone to say "Hey, you got something on your back." :v:

Or that the sonic rainboom blasted Trixie into the wall, but didnt do any other damage save for giving the guitar a face-lift :v: (if i remember correctly in CMChron the rainboom had blown things away at the rock farm, causing Pinkie's hair to poof, and blasted a rock open, as well as cause enough ruckus to startle a bunch of woodland creatures, and cause Twilight's magic to go haywire

I really enjoyed this clip, it was very funny! Still wondering on how Twilight will enter the scene this time around though. Because as it's been said, the book and these are PREQUELS to the MAIN film so there is no telling on how Twilight is coming in.
