Octavia FINALLY confirmed for playing the cello, not the bass. :snobtavia: :shenanigans:

e: Though now that I look at it closely, that is a strangely large cello. Why does the neck practically reach to her knees? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US, SHOWRUNNERS :gonkity:

Ishi Rudell & Meghan McCarthy really reached deep into their inner 80's/ early 90s kids & inner anime fans for this one, and it is glorious!! :awesomedash:

Image



This is easily gonna be 10x better then the first movie. :dwi:


Someone please make sure Ishi Rudell stays on as co-director for all future EQG projects! I mean no offense to Meghan of course, but he really seems to know how to make the concept of human pony characters work and be fun!!! :-D

Haha I can't tell if Scootaloo is mid transition to 'metal face' or cringing with the realization of what they look like before her friends figure it out, either way, wonderful.

Does she pull a Discord and become a bad guy again? These wings look pretty evil.

I feel like I'm missing out by being unable to listen to the soundtrack before seeing the movie. Can anyone tell me, does it include actual rock songs? Y'know with guitars and stuff?

I doubt it. I think it's a more of a redemption thing. Evil sunset had demon wings, good transformed sunset has Butterfly wings. Of course it's still gonna look intimidating though. Cause even reformed yea gotta make her look abit demonic. Yay for good demons! :party:

Well if Sunset does get new wings & it's not just part of her costume. I guess that would make her the Humanicorn Princess of Canterlot high. :gotcha:

She'll have no real political power of course built it'll be great publicity for the school. :v:

It seems the Perfect Day for Fun Short will be on the DVD/BD release as well. I'm hoping all 8 shorts will be on there, but I'm guessing we might just get the two musical ones. :-P

Comics Alliance doesn't seem to be as hyped as I am. :v:

I understand not liking something but c'mon you could at least get the synopsis for the films plot right. :-/

According to internet, my city's showing is Saturday the 27th. I have secured brother's fiancee Ashley to go with me. Because I sure as shit can't go alone. And she really liked the first movie, and this one looks way better.

We are awfully excited. Depends on when he works, Pak might come too.

OK. Conspiracy theory time on who Banished The Dazzles!

. IT WAS TIREK! I mean think about it, he initially escaped when Cerberus left his post in its About Time back in season 2. And c'mon, I don't Tirek was the only one who tried to escape, if the Dazzles were also prisoners, he probably feared a larger jailbreak wiould ruin his chances. Or perhaps, like Cerberus, they worked there as guards? I mean what better way to keep Evil creatures sedated then by other evil creatures with musical magic? Either way I feel I'd they wanna connect Rainbow Rocks to Rainbow Power somehow, it'll probably be Tirek.

Seeing how the first one didn't really connect to the main series in anyway, my guess is that they were really in human-world for simply reasons, and it won't really be explained in depth. :pinkieshrug:

The first one started in Equestria and took place between season 3 & 4. If the Dazzles were Banished before that it would explain why they were there. But yeah, you're right, it might not go into to much detail into their actual banishment. Just have to wait & see. :-P

Same way Spike sends letters by breathing fire on em I guess.

Seriously in a series full of magical convience & Deus-ex machinas, are nitpicks over magical artifacts really nesseccary!? *Just Sayin*

Also I briefly saw a Human Lyra in that Trailer! :crack:

Spike's letter-sending fire was part of the original lore to make the series concept work. This is a cheap way to get Twilight back to CHS.

It is kinda interesting how this magical transcendent journal is the equivalent of Spike's fire as a student of Celestia, though. But the fact it can transcend dimensions is absolutely a plot contrivance - the original purpose of said journal surely wouldn't have included that.

....l if it's a magical letter that sends letters to Celestia from back when sunset was her student, I don't see how it's going against its original purpose. And hey there's obviously equestrian magic now at Canterlot High cause of the EOH release in the first movie. So it's really not anything surprising she can use it again.

I'm not saying it's not there for any reason other then plot convenience. Just saying it's not anything that doesn't work.

Random thought on the dimensional transcending book: Sunset Shimmer could be suggested to have a fair amount of knowledge about Planar Mechanics, as evidenced by the line "Pop Quiz! What happens when you bring an Element of Harmony into alternate world? You don't know? Seriously? And you're supposed to be Princess Celestia's star student?" If she knew about both the Elements of Harmony and their effects across planar boundaries at a point before the nightmare moon incident, is very possible that Sunset Shimmer would know how to set up some kind of..i dunno, Linking Book of some kind as an attempt at a backdoor that didn't pan out as planned. :pinkieshrug:

Though the idea of Elements of Harmony being affected by planar boundaries does give me interesting ideas regarding the alicorn amulet but I'll leave that one alone.

I don't think we'll see any more of Shimmer's Mischevious side in this movie. She seems to be in a somewhat emotionally fragile place right now. *but hey I guess being turning into a raging she-demon & blasted by a magic fridbdship rainbow will do that to yea.*. But I wouldn't be surprised if in future films once she gets some confidence back and learns it's OK to be snarky to a degree as long as theirs not cruel intent we might see her ego grow back up abit. And it would be fun to see her & dash butt heads if/once it does. XD

But this movie will probably mostly be about a more fragile sunset shimmer being Diabetus inducing. XD

@Snow: I agree with your theory. Seems sound to me.

Probably the Crusaders song.

I am afraid how cringy some of these fanservice bands are going to be. We already have Show Stopper Crusaders and Octavia. Admittedly Trixie has an actual good song, but it still feels really extraneous for her to get a 2-minute number.
