Speaking of Dazzlings, did anyone else kind of feel bad that their pendants were destroyed at the end of Rainbow Rocks? I get it they were trying to take over the world (not sure why though) and turn people into zombies, but their ability to absorb people's anger I don't see as a bad thing. Imagine if someone had anger issues they probably be thankful towards the Dazzlings if they drained all the anger out of them. Plus if Dragon Ball taught us anything it's that anger just makes you stronger and achieve a new form. Also their fate is kind of a sad one, the reason the Dazzlings survived for so long was because of their pendants, but without will they just fade away like any old human, that's kind of a dark ending if you think about it. If I were to rewrite Rainbow Rocks, I would have the Rainbooms offer the Dazzlings a deal that they can stay at Canterlot High and help the school psychiatrist help students with anger issues, the Dazzlings get to feed on negative emotions and keep their magic while the Rainbooms gain two new acquaintances (Adagio & Aria) and one new friend (Sonata). Doesn't that sound like a better ending?

Out of all of the reasons why they made EQG, one of the biggest reasons is because there were a lot of people in the mlp fandom at the time that wondered what the Mane 6 would look like as humans and from what i've seen people started making fanart of human Mane 6 before EQG was even created, and i guess at some point Hasbro caught wind of all of that and decided to just give the fans what they wanted well that and because the company must've thought that they would make a profit off such a spin-off which they obviously did, but anyway those are just facts.

I mean, I really like the equestria girls movies personally. Seeing the characters as younger teenage versions of themselves was interesting to me. By the time we meet them in the show, they’re already adults with jobs. So seeing them younger and more naive and childish after being given so much character development, it was an interesting perspective. The songs are also really good and fun to listen to, especially from some of the later movies. Overall it’s just entertaining and it tackles plot points that the main show couldn’t really do anymore now that they’d developed their characters and had them grow up.

Funnily enough, Equestria Girls first movie is what got me into mlp. See, I used to have a friend at work who I got along with well who HATED MLP, and I don't just mean FiM or the Brony fandom, he hated ANYTHING to do with mlp with a passion. About a year after meeting, he started telling me about his hatred for it. Now, I had NO experience with mlp, so I just went along with it. The more months of him expressing his mlp hate, telling me how he saw mlp as "everything wrong with the world", however, the more I started inwardly questioning just how valid his claims against mlp could be. Equestria Girls had just come out on DVD, so I decided to buy it to give myself the barest experience I could. Afterwards, I found myself curious enough to look into a few fic readings and then the show itself. Now I'm heavily in the fandom, have all the first 1-8 seasons, movies and DVD specials and honestly a much better person because of mlp. As for that friend? The moment he found out I liked mlp instead of being pulled into his bubble of hatred, he ended our friendship without even telling me, saying I was now a hollow shell of my former self. The most hilarious part? I likely never would’ve known about mlp if he hadn't started hating on it to me to begin with. He wanted to make me hate mlp as much as he did, but ended up causing the reverse effect. Reality hit him with the Uno Reverse Card

My experience was different. See, back in Early 2016 (I was 11 at the time), I was not interested in MLP at all because it looked too girly for my liking (then again, I was more into SpongeBob at the time). Fast Forwarding to April 2016, I found about a negative review of that film I never heard of and then on the same month, I was looking around on my TV for something to watch and this movie was on (Discovery Family), but I ended up watching the 2nd Half of it and I remember finding it alright (it was by The Cafeteria Song moment) and then I did watch a couple of FiM episodes (mainly from Seasons 3-5, I watched some episodes of Season 6 in 2017, though not the Starlight Episodes). My first episode (If I recall correctly) being Testing Testing 1,2,3. And I thought they were decent and a bit better than I was expecting them to be. in July 2016, I came across a bit scene of Friendship Games and I was weirded out by Sunset appearing given that she was a villain in the first movie (I haven't watched Rainbow Rocks during that time) and It was pretty jarring. In November 2016, I was sick and bored and then on My TV, they were doing a marathon of all the movies (up to Everfree), So I decided to watch them all. In May 2019, I ended up watching the MLP movie on Hulu because I felt like checking it out and I remember enjoying it In around 2020, I was at a relative's house (I didn't catch COVID) and I ended up watching some episodes of the show (the last few minutes of "She Talks to Angel" and Somepony to Watch Over Me). I got interested when I saw a user I knew back then, who was posting stuff like that on YT with their community posts. Fast Forwarding to 2020. I was bored and I was contemplating whether to watch the show because it was on Netflix, and In July, I decided to watch it out of morbid curiosity and because I was bored during the pandemic. I watched it, but only when my parents weren't around (I had to watch this show at night). Watching the first 5 seasons were easy, but 6-8 wasn't because of online school, so it took me MONTHS just to finish 6 (from September to December) and 7 (January to March) and then I watched the first half of 8 of Netflix (with the last episode being The End in Friend, not a good episode) and decided to watch the remaining parts of 8 and 9 through KZfaq Reaction videos to make it easier to finish. From July 2020 to August 2021. I was able to finish FiM. and Fast forward to June 2022, I recently revisited the EG movies because I already watched FiM and already seen ANG. That's pretty much how I got into FiM

Jim Miller talks about this in his interview to Equestria Daily. Hasbro really did show up to DHX with a bunch of fanart they found online and say "there's a market for this, make it happen". I like Equestria Girls though. In the first movie, I like how it plays with the high school tropes by showing them from the point of view of two literal aliens. It's relatable to me, since as a non-American, I always felt like an alien watching these high school dramas that had nothing to do with my school experience. There's little things like the girls warning Twilight to stay away from Flash because he was the mean girl's ex-boyfriend, when actually Sunset didn't give a damn as she was only worried about getting the Element of Magic to take over Equestria. And it's cool that they made the story about Twilight earning her wings and her place as the Princess of Friendship by undoing the damage Sunset had done to the friendships and the morale of the students. Rainbow Rocks is less interesting plotwise, but it has banger musical numbers and it shows that Sunset Shimmer wasn't so easily forgiven and had to earn her redemption, so it's also good in my book. And from Friendship Games onwards, I think EG becomes truly great, as it breaks away from Princess Twilight and finds its own theme. It shows Equestrian magic creeping into the human world, and explores how humans deal with the powers it gives them, how it messes with their heads and makes them show the darkest sides of their personalities, as they feel like they can have anything they want. It really made me think about what I would do in their place. So yeah, I think the crew did a great job with Equestria Girls, just like they did with FiM. Those folks are very talented and passionate, and they handled so many curveballs that Hasbro threw at them and turned them into amazing stories. They're doing a great job with Strawberry Shortcake too, at least in the 2D series (I haven't seen the 3D one).

I do admit it would have been interesting to see them go beyond High School.

I don't think EQG is bad, it just never reached it's true potential. I love EQG, but the writing was very weak, and very out of character. The way the writers rewrote the humanized Mane 6 was horribly different than the pony versions everyone loved. To me, Rainbow Dash suffered the worst. She was already arrogant enough in FiM, but in EQG this was boosted to 200%, and it was at it's all time low in Rainbow Rocks. Sunset Shimmer was definitely the best character of the Mane 6. Her backstory really adds onto lore surrounding Celesta, and it's a damn shame it was full of so many plot holes in the first movie. Her redemption arc was also well written, and she really grew as a character. Going from a school bully in the first movie, to a fully changed person by the 4th. Sci-Twi was also an interesting character, and it was what I consider a parallel counterpart done right. Granted, it was kinda Sunset's recycled, but hers was more because peer pressure than desire for power. In the end, had EQG been written better, I think it would've faired better. It also didn't help that Hasbro quickly pulled the plug on the show before a proper conclusion could be made

For me, I didn't start watching Friendship is Magic until after Equestria Girls came out. So I devoured the content of both at the same time. And I was already a fan of Monster High. So I didn't really have any issues with the change from pony form to human form, as ultimately it was more pony stories. As for the quality of the stories, well yes they were a bit hit and miss, but so were some of the episodes in the series. The toys were kind of the same too. Now will we get to see human versions of the g5 characters? I don't know, I hope so, although I do believe that they should rebrand it to Equestria High for gender neutral reasons. However toy wise they will have to be on their game since they would be competing against MGA's Rainbow/Shadow High lines. I wonder how well the new launch of monster high (g3) will go in regards to this too.

Equestria Girls exist because it is more grounded with its own unique charm, and I say this as someone who also like FIM. Even my wife, who is a big FIM fan, likes this series as it's realistic with reality, and not just because they gave Fluttershy a better backbone! :D That being said, I highly recommend watching Sunset's Backstage Pass, as that's the best from the series and the best written deja vu TV special I've ever watched! Rollercoaster of Friendship, Rainbow Rocks and its shorts (as flawed as that movie was) and the Web series and Choose Your Ending series of shorts, is also a great watch.

Sunset is "very relatable" as a reform character for a lot of people, the fact that she is mainly portrayed in her human form, at a human highschool, where she schemed and used her "popularity" to achieve certain power dynamics, resonates with a lot of younger viewers of the fandom, I think her redemption story is great, and I love Rainbow Rocks, but you're right about one thing, I would have and would STILL watch "My Little Pony trash bag girls" or "My little pony, turtle slug girls" or anything with the name My Little Pony before it lol.. your reasons for not liking EQG are totally valid, but also kind of compliment my reasoning as to why Sunset does NOT belong back in Equestria and why Starlight was the superior choice. I didn't like the original all that much at all, but the reformation of Sunset Shimmer (a girl whos past nobody can seem to let go of) and the introduction of the Dazzlings (great music BTW) Rainbow Rocks had a legitimate pulse, it is what made EQG boom, or "rainboom" lol don't kill me, I think they reduce everyone's character in the human world, I mean Christ if Celestias power equivalent is a principal, makes you kind of scared what might be lurking in Equestria.. also what will happen if Ember came to Equestria would she turn into some kind of dog? Lol or any dragon for that matter? Does "every creature" in Equestria have some kind of human world equivalent?, Well why are the "diamond dogs portrayed as humans, shouldn't they be dragons? Lol idc, I love Rainbow Rocks and Friendship Games, there's a lot to love about them, but IT IS funny the time Friendship Games came around the characters in the movie do kind of mock the ridiculousness of the plot structure, they know, but it's the personalities we love, and Hasbro also knows that...

The Equestria Girls franchise seriously lacked any consistent quality. It started out quite poorly with the first movie, got much better with Rainbow Rocks, was just "okay" with Friendship Games, had another downgrade with Legend of Everfree... and then it just kept going back and forth between terrible (Movie Magic), mediocre (Dance Magic, Mirror Magic, most of the KZfaq shorts, Spring Breakdown, Rollercoaster of Friendship) to the very occasional awesome ones (Forgotten Friendship, Sunset's Backstage Pass). For me at least, EqG was entirely driven by Sunset Shimmer's character, since she was one of the few actually interesting characters in the franchise. Everything that focused on her (Rainbow Rocks, Forgotten Friendship, Sunset's Backstage Pass) tended to be much better than the rest of EqG.

I wonder if it was the reason NOT to bring in Sunset Shimmer into the FiM storyline. Her popularity grew exponentially during the EQG storyline. There was a chance that her popularity would outgrow Princess Twilight's one. It also made more sense to bring Sunset into the FiM storyline. As a former protege of Princess Celestia she could finally finish her journey she once started. But then Hasbro/DHX introduced Starlight Glimmer, very much based on Sunset Shimmer. (Magical powerful, ambitious and misunderstood unicorn) I guess Sunset Shimmer was the reason of success of EQG. She had the most consistent character development.

Equestria Girls was my gateway into MLP because I grew curious about it. I was a MH fan before I got into MLP, and I found the original Equestria Girls dolls very disappointing compared to MH dolls, but I found the reboot EQG fashion dolls passable since those ones finally improved on the clothing quality. And if you want to know how popular MH is, it has a very vocal adult collector fanbase as well as a huge problem with scalpers compared to other playline fashion doll lines. The original MH webisodes and movies also have very impressive storytelling, character development, and lore, as well as a unique goth aesthetic for the dolls. MH also has an interesting history with reboots, as when Mattel tried to make a 'less scary' MH reboot in 2016, it failed and many MH collectors openly showed their hatred and dislike for it. MH is having another 2022 reboot soon, starting with a live action movie, and many fans of the original have mixed feelings about it or openly hate it. Its kind of sad to see a fandom fall into chaos just because a reboot exists for a newer generation of fans.

Dazzlings are just amazing and I feel like Sci Twilight getting warped from Cinch and ruining everything is fits better then that Moonlight girl. I feel like Twilight would of never /had/ a normal life and something would of went awry ir she wasnt Celestia Student. Also Unleash the Magic is a amazing villian song as it finally breaks Twilight down and the scene of the Magic absorbing her and blasting away all the stuff holding her back is creepy imo. You see her fighting back but the magic just overwhelms her and all that is left is your desires and no one can stop you.

The upside to it not giving it an ending is that we as fans can give it as much growth through fan made comics and FanFiction.

As a general MLP fan, I’m honestly more interested in EQG and its world than Equestria in the main show at this point (purely talking about G4 here). I’m just interested in the consequences and shenanigans that comes from bringing pony magic to a world that never had it before. Also I like the Humane 7 and the things that they do. While I wish it had an actual series of its own and a proper ending like FIM did to flesh it out some more, what we ended up getting was pretty good for a series that started off as a one-time movie. (btw, regular G4 is still good, I just prefer to watch Equestria Girls out of the two more often)

I hate Twilight Sparkle, I get her character, I just don't like it. I like Sci-Twi (EQG Twilight) because she's got this humbleness to her that helps her smarts not seem...like cocky?

Those two were/still are living very different lives and are counterparts to each other as much as Pony Twilight is with Sunset.

Have the first film set up the characters and the setting, then in the second film establish a main threat (who the Dazzlings were taking orders from) that can be built up through the rest of the films & specials, kind of like Fire Lord Ozai from the Last Airbender.

I am glad that Hasbro made Equestria Girls as a spin-off series. Via Equestria Girls I came to MLP-FiM because imho you can't fully understand the EQG world without knowing Equestria and their pony counterparts. At first I thought EQG was a cheap knock-off but to my surprise I really liked it very much. The introduction of my favorite MLP character Sunset Shimmer was quite interesting and surprising. In the first movie I really hated her just as any bully. But since Rainbow Rocks I really loved her and her development story was very relatable. She repented from her evil ways and arrogant attitude into a loving, caring and empathetic person/pony. However she still acknowledges her weak points and that she has her flaws. I think it is a shame that Hasbro or DHX didn't brought Sunset Shimmer into FiM for some episodes/seasons. Instead Hasbro introduced Starlight Glimmer into FiM. But when Starlight Glimmer made her appearance in Equestria Girls, it was more than just an other cross over. She was a total HIT and it was a pity that there weren't any more EQG episodes or a whole season. Because Sunset and Starlight's chemistry was one of the best in EQG. In total Hasbro did miss the mark with EQG's storyline. There was a decent build up from Movie 1 tot Legend of Everfree. But after that, they should have continued with EQG as this Girl Power Team, protecting and defending earth from dark magic and evil villains from Equestria or other dimensions. That is why the girls got the gems in the first place. And it would have been awesome if the EQG and their pony counterparts would have work together to fight off a villain that would destroy both the human world as Equestria. That movie would have been the icing on the cake. And of course some EQG seasons would have been perfect too. The webisodes/specials were entertaining but it could have been much better. But in all, to me MLP G4 consists of FIM and EQG and the big question for me is if G5 will ever live up to the quality and excellence of MLP G4.

I love EQG, really. It will always have a special place in my heart, since I started being a fan shortly before its release. The story may not be the best, but it isn't bad either. While I do agree that the producers wasted most of its potential, it's undeniable that EQG still has its charm. It does deserve the recognition it has and I personally think the great character development work they made with Sunset Shimmer for example is something that makes it worth watching (although it also had some of its potential wasted).

The thing I love about Sunset is she unites with the girls way more than Twilight ever did in the main 6. It never felt like Twilight had anything in common with them, while Sunset has dipped her shoes into literally everyone's baskets. She's fashionable like rarity, sporty like rainbow, has hobbies with pinkie, is sciencey like twilight (also shipping), and she's handy and reliable like applejack. And none of this makes her any less her own character because they manage to give her agency over her story.

@@gabidobre5584 I get what you mean. While her redemption arc does feels rushed since in the first movie she doesn't show any signs of change until her defeat and is just a generic high school bully with some magical knowledge and a badly planned plan, I do believe she earned her place rightfully. The problem is that her efforts and progress all happened off screen. By the time Rainbow Rocks happened, we see that she has already learned how friendship works, she learned her lesson and her friends had forgiven her, but we don't SEE her learning that, we don't see her struggling to understand how to be nice, we don't see her possible struggle to forgive herself, we don't see her apologizing for the things she did to her friends and earning their trust (and also important events after Rainbow Rocks such as the final steps for earning forgiveness from the entire school completely). These essential parts weren't shown to us, but they were undeniably there. Meanwhile with Starlight is the same thing, but we SEE her progress and struggles. That's why her redemption feels earned and Sunset's don't. The only source of content about these off screen events are fanfics... In other words, speculation. But they did happen, she fought for her place, even if we didn't see. They've made a great work with Sunset's character, but her potential was still wasted. As you said, we don't have enough information of how/why she became evil, and that makes her backstory even more poor than it already was. Such a waste. We could've gotten a much cooler redempted villain... But honestly, I'm quite satisfied with what we've got. So in short, I think Sunset's place in the main cast OF EQUESTRIA GIRLS is rightfully hers and she fits perfectly. And Starlight could have become a main character OF THE MAIN SHOW just fine, she'd be awesome there too (although I really like her as Twilight's pupil). The thing is that EQG and MLP FiM each are, in a way, their own thing. The human world became Sunset's home and she has bounded with everyone there properly. The girl deserves it! Also, just one more thing I wanted to point out, the screentime is a very important factor. MLP FiM, being the main show, has a lot more time to build character arcs, while EQG don't (especially because they cancelled it completely lol), so it affects the quality. Sorry for the big text btw 😅

So Twilight telling her that she does have worth and can be a good person who is loved just lets her fully get rid of her fears.

@@gabidobre5584 I can pretty succinctly tell you why Sunset is a main and Starlight isn't. EG is a spin off, FIM isn't. Because Twilight was a "visiting" character in the franchise, they needed to establish someone to replace her in order to expand on the franchise in the form of the shorts (on top of which scitwi's personality is not suitable to lead), she is also there from the beginning of EG (aka established). Starlight is a season 5 character who is intruding into the main show. Her becoming a main would mess up art, promotion, having to invent a whole other element of harmony (otherwise it would be kinda awkward especially in later seasons). FIM has a more sturdy lore than EG, whose lore makes no sense and we love it for it. That's how I think of it anyway. I personally think Starlight becoming a mane would have been more forced, as that role didn't need filling, and also she doesn't really click with the rest of the cast (which is part of why i like her, she's like twilight but actually introverted). Starlight also competes character-wise with Twilight too heavily. Sunset would have this problem but not only does her personality shine for itself, but Twilight is not in any EG movies heavily after Rainbow Rocks (which is the one where they do the process of handing the torch).

Personally... I love Equestria Girls, which was actually my introduction to the MLP franchise. As a male (biologically, at the time) in his late teens, societal pressure kept me from ever watching My Little Pony despite my love for many female-led cartoons (Totally Spies, Sailor Moon, Winx Club & W.I.T.C.H. were some of my favorites). All I ever knew about MLP was the literal horror stories about some darker parts of the fandom, which were circulating at my school, and that it was about brightly colored horses (which made it feel too “girly” and childish even for me at first glance). But in 2013, when the Equestria Girls movie came out, I decided to be brave enough to give it a chance. The fact that they were humans somehow made it... more acceptable to me, and perhaps in the eyes of my peers as well. And to my surprise, I absolutely loved it. The year after that I watched Rainbow Rocks which I loved even more than the first movie, and so on. I remember being very sad upon hearing that there was no full-length series to come with the movies. But still, Equestria Girls got me in contact with the regular MLP fandom, all of whom provided good arguments that the original series was better in every conceivable way, and that I just had to get over the fact that they were... well, horses. So in 2021, having lost hope that the Equestria Girls line would ever continue and being utterly starved for more content with the characters I had grown to love, I amassed the courage to start watching Friendship is Magic. And so I finally became a true brony (or pegasister?) at the venerable age of 25. And it never would have happened without Equestria Girls. I will even admit that, for the first whole season or so, I still preferred Equestria Girls to Friendship is Magic. And of course, I missed Sunset Shimmer throughout it all. So whatever those who experienced Friendship is Magic first might say about it, I love Equestria Girls, and I am eternally grateful for its existence. For without it, I might never have gotten into My Little Pony as a whole. And it will always have a special place in my nostalgic heart, even more so than Friendship is Magic.

Sunset Shimmer. It was always Sunset Shimmer. People loved her almost as much if not more so in some cases then Twilight. Her whole redemption arch and relationship to Celestia, as well as later on the Dazzlings. The reason most fans watched it is because even though the stories were smaller scale and some not very good it still had ties to the show worth exploring, and at that point yeah the main series seemed done with taking risks. I wasn’t even going to watch the second movie I felt so Meh about the first but then I realized it was about Sunset and found the plot pretty interesting and wanted to see where it would go. After I realized it was never going to fully tie back into the main show though I just stayed for the cameos and because it was something to watch. Sunset though remained a compelling character. It’s a shame her potential story arch was kind of waisted on the series as well as the dazzlings. I would have much more enjoyed watching them take over through song in Equestria. I mean their goal was kind of to enslave a high school, that’s most of their goals. Not the world, a high school. Also did they never think that the contents of a high school who presumably have counterparts in the “pony world” is not enough people to take over Equestria? Idk, but their dumb plan wouldn’t have worked. Ponies in Equestria also have magic and know how to fly. Humans coming into the world would have no idea how to do those things. It was always a dumb irrational plan but it fits Sunset Shimmers irrational angry motivations in the movie. All this to say I think the human world was a nice gimmick but they should have returned to the pony world. They had so much more story potential with the dazzlings potentially following her back into Equestria ect, ect. Also her arch could never truly come to a satisfying end without her confronting everything she did in Equestria. They tried to do it but it felt hallow because it was like a three second conversation after literal years of revenge and resentment.

I love eg bc it was the one who got me into the fandom, i was like 4 and my cousin was watching the cafeteria scene and i remember saying "i'm the rainbow guy" (did we all think rainbow was a guy or smth?) And she told me "shes a girl" and after that i got sm into the show and eqg so i love it 😭

I don’t know, but I prefer ponies from the regular show rather than them as humans.

I'm wondering, what are your thoughts on "The Last Unicorn"? I think that does some very interestring things with this concept.

To be honest looking back at Equestria Girls, I would rather have a full season for season 3 and have Equestria Girls be a one time thing or have all the main six and Spike go to the human world rather than just have Twilight and Spike. Maybe not turn them into humans, maybe keep them as ponies and have them go to the human world to stop some villain or this villain traps them there, rather than the path they went

I enjoyed the Equestria Girls series for the most part. It had its ups and downs, but it was still a lot of fun.

Drawing non-human characters as humans is pretty common to see. I think that the designs are a bit if a problem as they could have had some more diversity, like one is larger and one is smaller.

To answer the question why this series exists? Corporate Greed. Whenever a series becomes large and popular enough, most corporate companies would take on a sequel and/or spin off series to cash in on the popularity.

It had no reason to exist but I still loved it. It was a tradition to watch it in my mom's bedroom with my sisters. I'm really fond of the rainbow rocks one, everfree, the first one, and equestrian games, which is all of (Almost) all of them. But I didn't really enjoy the yt series a lot and didn't really watch them.

You know i want Hasbro to reboot EqG, this time with edgy characters, suggestive themes & jokes, over the top action & MOST IMPORTANTLY, thrash metal.

Well, Hasbro did several reboots with MLP. We have Generation 5 now. But they previous incarnations brought in into new ones. For example Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash. So a reboot of EQG with a new Sunset Shimmer would make sense. And if you want to have some other edgy characters, I guess Starlight Glimmer and Tempest Shadow would also be adequate candidates for it.

I liked EQG by default because more pony content, but Sunset Shimmer is the one thing that kept me coming back. The fact that she was never in the main show, and that her arc was never completed when EQG was dropped... man, she was robbed. We were robbed.
