Legends of Equestria - Forum

Hasbro released a preview clip of Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks that revealed the antagonists of the movie. Also, it had a song, and I actually kinda liked the song. It's not catchy, but it's neat to listen to.

I actually kinda like how the antagonists look, mainly pigtails girl.
This video also answers why the movie's theme is Battle of the Bands.

[August 19 edit]:
A second video has been released, this time looking at the villains, who they are, what they're doing, and a little peek at why they're doing it.



A list of songs from the soundtrack has been released, as well:
http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/08/rainbow-rocks-full-song-listing-via.html
Though, it looks like some of the songs on the soundtrack will be ones from the first movie, specifically Equestria Girls (Cafeteria Song), A Friend For Life, Opening Titles (Remix), This Is Our Big Night (Full Version), and Time To Come Together. Pretty sure the "Equestria Girls (Cafeteria Song)" song is Help Twilight Win The Crown.

So that means the songs for Rainbow Rocks are likely:

Those last two sound like villain songs. :3 Though, for some reason...

I'm kinda disappointed that they didn't fix their proportions, but it was to be expected.

Well...that's....different? It seems like the antagonists have kind of a Siren/seductress thing going. With this, it feels like this series might be distancing itself from MLP a little, and I'm okay with that. That is to say, this scene feels more at home in a magic high school plot, and doesn't need that other world.

Of course, Twilight Sparkle is probably coming back, so who knows how this'll turn out.

Looks good to me. The music sounds really nice, so theirs nothing bad about it ;)

I'm sure Rainbow Rocks will be a good movie. It would be nice to actually have a My Little Pony movie that stars the ponies instead of humans though. I'm just curious though about if something is going to happen with these Antagonists that would threaten Equestria and bring Twilight back to the human world to help her friends there.

I read that the antagonists are after some kind of magical artifact, so the human mane six somehow get Twilight to go back to the human world to help them stop the antagonists.

Anypony else noticed the green flash in their eyes and the green mist surrounding them? No?
Well, atleast I know what's happening...
CHRYSALIAS IS GOING TO SING!!!
No? Okay then...

Initiating relevant thoughts (http://youtu.be/tZxeo8j1HTk).



Relevant thoughts initialized.

I don't really like the song, it's too slow. Probably just me and my preference, though.

I thought the song was pretty catchy in my opinion. I liked how all the background ponies we know like Vinyl Scratch and the Cutie Mark Crusaders are in human form. I don't get it though, are the CMC portrayed as Freshmen while the Mane 6 are like Juniors or more likely Seniors? Because the age difference is definitely a lot longer in Equestria, with the CMC being young fillies and the Mane 6 are like mares. I don't get it!  . :/

Octavia was finally in the background, too! She wasn't there in the first movie!

Also, guys, if you pay close attention, DJ Pon3 is wearing her headphones. She's listening to music on her MP3 player, which means she's not being affected by the sirens' song. O:

Yeah, Octavia was there. I didn't see her in the first film. DJ Pon3 or as some people call her, Vinyl Scratch was using her MP3 player. I didn't notice until you said that then I remember seeing her not hearing the trio antagonist's song. Did you read the rest of the comment about the age difference between the CMC and the Mane 6? It's crazy if you ask me. 

I'm not really a particular fan of Equestria Girls to begin with... but I did go and see it for support. I don't think I'll do the same with Rainbow Rocks. I'm really not... into it. ^^'

I'm sorry to hear that. Sure it's not FIM, but the personality of the characters is the same as their pony forms. Like Fluttershy still takes care of animals, Pinkie Pie still loves parties, and Rainbow Dash is still an athlete just doing things like we would like playing soccer instead of flying. Hasbro's just trying their best to compete with Mattel's Monster High franchise for example and to me the first movie was actually good. I'll watch Rainbow Rocks and future Equestria Girls films. I just hope that there will still be movies/animated material of the Mane 6 after 2015.

Here's my issue: I was quite interested in the first Equestria Girls movie, and to be frank, it didn't live up to my expectations at all. Not to say I didn't enjoy watching it, but it just wasn't that very good. And now they are making a sequel? With rock concerts? And even crazier looking antagonists? Based off what I saw in the first one, what I actually got, and the rule of sequels, this is going to be quite bad. I'm rather scared about what it's gonna turn out to be :s

Well, even if the movie turns out to be bad, we can look on the bright side that we're going to get at least one really good catchy song. Daniel Ingram makes so many great songs, there's bound to be one that catches on in Rainbow Rocks, like Help Twilight Get The Crown did in the first EG movie.

It's more then just the music though. What he's trying to say is that Rainbow Rocks is still going to be a bad movie since the plot won't be great. I don't think I'll be that bad but I respect the opinions of other fans. If you ask me and other bronies though, an actual movie about the PONIES and just the ponies of MLP FIM being on their most dangerous adventure yet would definitely boost sales for Hasbro while at the same time being a summer blockbuster if release to theaters nationwide. They should seriously consider it in 2015 in honor of the 5th anniversary of G4 and make it the finale for the cartoon as well. After all, SpongeBob's first movie in November 2004 was intended to have been the ending for SpongeBob but Viacom/Nickelodeon decided to renew the series and to this day it's still on. Just a suggestion.

I know what he's saying. What I was saying is that, even if the plot is bad, at least we'll get good music out of it. For example, the season 3 finale wasn't that good of an episode, but we got really awesome songs from it.

I do agree with Comet Oblivion.... I have come to expect more from this franchise than the stereotypical girl-sorts of cartoon. I know it sounds pretty stupid, considering MLP is intended for girls which thus makes it a girl-cartoon to begin with but if you look at female-oriented cartoons in the past, there is something (I dunno if it's just me?) mind-numbingly bad about them. Like, hitting all these clichés. I mean, there are a lot of similar problems with some more  male-only-oriented shows, too. If the show was like the movies, I wouldn't be into it.
I do think it is partially related to humans, though. I tend to like cartoons based on animals because I feel the writers become more free subconsciously.
...
I'm already getting bored of writing this XP Basically, didn't care for the movies, was hoping to like it more than I did (though I did like the opening sequence!), and don't see why they would've even made a sequel.

Then again, I was also never very much into the Monster Girl thing or whatever. Maybe I just don't understand XD

IDK, I kind of like the idea of Twilight transforming into an alicorn. She does look more cuter as one.  0:)

The Monster Girl thing is Mattel's Monster High which is one of the main reasons Equestria Girls was created. So Hasbro can be in the market for human dolls that are in a high school. To me, it's not a bad marketing idea and the first Equestria Girls movie did have a good plot to it for me. I just hope that Rainbow Rocks is the same. I do think that the personalities of the characters are the same but then again the plot might not be as good. If only the antagonists of this upcoming movie were in pony form (Like Sunset Shimmer). One user told me that these trio are going to steal some magical artifact and the five human friends of Twilight Sparkle somehow get Twilight to come to the human world and help them. Don't know if these trio want to take off and cause more mayhem in Equestria then it already has or not.

I don't mind her turning into an alicorn. The episode just wasn't as entertaining, aside from the great songs. This may partially be due to the fact that they were constricted to a single episode rather than doing their usual two-parter thing.

Honestly, I really liked the Alicorn thing... heck, I like the Rainbowfied ponies and Twilight's castle, too. I love seeing change in cartoons >w< Honestly, I don't feel like it's very rushed, either. I mean there's was still a lot of home-life episodes between them.

Season 3 just had it's flaws though. Season 4 helped with fixing that and I know Season 5 will be as good since it's going to be 26 episodes! Besides, the episode was pretty funny with the cutie marks changed on the Mane 6 doing things they normally wouldn't do and Twilight fixing the cutie marks and changing everything back to normal, with her turning into a princess. It was a very good episode to me.

What is so bad about changes anyway? It would get tiring seeing the same things over and over again. I have read though that one of the episodes of Season 5 will deal with Twilight's lost of her library. The Rainbowfied ponies look pretty cool too. Kind of remind me of G3 too! ^-^

I think it's cool... I always appreciated how Avatar had a story to continuously follow and I feel MLP does it in a more subtle fashion which is really appealing in its own way.

Yea, I always got tired of some big thing happening in a cartoon then you'd never see it again. Ruined the humor of the situation for me at times.

I always hated when something big happens and you don't see it again. Never was into Avatar so wouldn't no much about it. All I know was that it aired on Nickelodeon nearly 9 years ago. Yeah, FIM is more fun to watch when something different occurs. I just hope they keep it up in Season 5 and seasons beyond that!

I'm sure they are keeping it up with season 5. Did you see the story boards? I like Dr.Wolf's reviews on it... really interesting formula they could be going with.

A ton of 90's cartoons were like that.. something happens but it means nothing. I mean, a lot of the shows were revolutionary... in a way... but I always wished for a show with continuation. Never watched Avatar, either, but I do appreciate the way its set up.

Yeah, I also appreciate Avatar as well with it's continuation of a new series about Korra. Sure, cartoons like Rocko's Modern Life which ran from 1993-1996 was revolutionary because most of the crew went on to work for SpongeBob which is still on the air today. Ren and Stimpy is another revolutionary cartoon as well. And both of them aired on Nick in the 90s. I do enjoy some 90s cartoons but not much. And what story boards are you talking about and who is Dr Wolf anyway?

Rugrats had continuity with its movies. It wasn't one of those cartoons where it would get a movie and then they act like it never happened in the show. Dill was born in the first movie, and from then on, they had Dill in the show. Chuckie's dad got married in the Rugrats in Paris movie, and from then on, Chuckie's dad was married and whatnot in the show.

How did I forget about Rugrats? I do remember Chuckie's new mom and little sister being on Rugrats after the Rugrats in Paris movie. I miss that show. Too bad Nickelodeon and Disney don't make cartoons much anymore. There both more focused on crappy teen sitcoms that are not hilarious at ALL! They're stupid, nothing is truly reality as it is in high school except maybe dating, and It just drives me insane how long it's been going on!!!! DD:

Dr.Wolf is a popular Brony reviewer and analyst. I think he always brings something to the table if you ever feel the need to listen to something. He recently reviewed story boards for upcoming season 5! The story boards were revealed at a panel of some sort in LA or something. They're really hard to find online... I was only able to see the video Dr.Wolf posted.

90's cartoons can be boring for me at times, but they still hold a legacy.

I'm sure they are keeping it up with season 5. Did you see the story boards? I like Dr.Wolf's reviews on it... really interesting formula they could be going with.

A ton of 90's cartoons were like that.. something happens but it means nothing. I mean, a lot of the shows were revolutionary... in a way... but I always wished for a show with continuation. Never watched Avatar, either, but I do appreciate the way its set up.

Yeah, I also appreciate Avatar as well with it's continuation of a new series about Korra. Sure, cartoons like Rocko's Modern Life which ran from 1993-1996 was revolutionary because most of the crew went on to work for SpongeBob which is still on the air today. Ren and Stimpy is another revolutionary cartoon as well. And both of them aired on Nick in the 90s. I do enjoy some 90s cartoons but not much. And what story boards are you talking about and who is Dr Wolf anyway?

Dr.Wolf is a popular Brony reviewer and analyst. I think he always brings something to the table if you ever feel the need to listen to something. He recently reviewed story boards for upcoming season 5! The story boards were revealed at a panel of some sort in LA or something. They're really hard to find online... I was only able to see the video Dr.Wolf posted.

90's cartoons can be boring for me at times, but they still hold a legacy.

Rugrats had continuity with its movies. It wasn't one of those cartoons where it would get a movie and then they act like it never happened in the show. Dill was born in the first movie, and from then on, they had Dill in the show. Chuckie's dad got married in the Rugrats in Paris movie, and from then on, Chuckie's dad was married and whatnot in the show.

Rugrats... I remember that show. I'm glad when they did hold onto something like that, but generally, change didn't happen to the same degree as a world building show would. But it is still great when it does ^^

To Cloudwilk, would you give me a link to the video you saw about Season 5 story boards? I'd like to see what their planning. All I know is that Twilight's new castle will have the ability to direct problems across Equestria, the 100th Episode will focus on background characters, the entire Pie Family will have a role in a episode, and a episode with Twilight grieving over the lost of her library. I'm sure that episode will be emotional. Wouldn't be too surprised if the season finale was her and Flash Sentry getting married and living happily ever after and the tv show would be  officially over by June of 2015. Along with SpongeBob, of course. I'd be a little concerned about the two going past that month and year though.

I don't see MLP ending after season 5 XD SpongeBob... geez... I stopped following that one after season 4. They've really run SpongeBob dry. I feel like they'll keep doing that.

I'm really psyched about the 100th episode special.  :3

Who knows then when the end of FIM and SpongeBob will be. After all, Arthur as in the TV show is still running and he's like in his 16th season! The show will be 20 in September 2016 if it get there. Just imagine if SpongeBob is still on in May of 2019 and FIM in October 2030? That's how long it would be!

There are some really long running shows... I think The Simpsons is the longest running cartoon... currently on its 26th season.

Yeah, I think the Simpsons began around 1988? Am I correct on that? I believe the pilot may have even aired as early as 1987. Don't imagine Arthur, SpongeBob, FIM, Pokémon, or any popular cartoon lasting 26 seasons. Especially FIM. That's almost 30 years!!!!! FIM would've been on as late as 2035 I think if G4 is on that long. By then however, the Bronies would get tired and probably complain about the quality of the show, much like now with SpongeBob. It doesn't matter to the new fans, but the old fans just don't like it anymore or there's very few fans that do. Plus, the Simpson's have an advantage because that show is more aimed toward a preteen to adult audience and not to children like FIM is. Not that the adults like children's cartoons, but still. What the Simpson's can do is offer more variety and change things around like the technology they use and the styles of life can change as well. That's how the show can last. It offers more freedom and makes the show more enjoyable. Not to mention, there could not be a world without The Simpsons. Even though, I have not watch the show.

Apparently The Simpsons began 1989... and I do see how The Simpsons being adult-oriented influenced how long it was able to run, however, I don't think that it can't happen for kid's cartoons. It is apart of American-animation culture for adult shows to be the long-runners but in Japan it seems as though the most popular shows (and I could be mistaken..) are the long-running kid's shows. (I know One Piece is technically for kids and that's gone on forever and Poke'mon seems to be eternal) So, my point is it's a matter of perspective rather than reality. Who's to say one day America can't understand that viewpoint as well? After all, SpongeBob is really pushing the limits in my book. Though, honestly, I do feel like there was a decrease in quality in SpongeBob about at season 4. Yea... The show began to just make me feel weird rather than funny and it was like there traits became their personality and it ended up feeling a little flat to me.

This has gotten way off-topic. I'll have to ask you guys to return to the topic of Rainbow Rocks and maybe take this discussion to a new thread.

Sorry. Me and Cloudwilk are new here. I'll ask him to discuss this personally with him instead. Not on a new thread.

Regarding Rainbow Rocks and Sunset Shimmer being a protagonist this time out.  I'm hoping that they build upon her reformed character and make her much more sympathetic.  This is what I hope will happen:

Sunset Shimmer feels that the only way to stop the sirens (lets face it, that's the villains) is to get Twilight Sparkle back into this world with her Element of Harmony, not knowing that Twilight doesn't have the element anymore.

If we're lucky, we'll have two scenes in the pony world.  The movie will start in the human world this time and we'll see the pony world for the first time when Sunset Shimmer goes through the portal (alone, natch) to fetch Twilight.  We may even get to see Sunset happy to be a pony once again even if only temporary.

Sunset, Twilight, and Spike head back to the human world and all save the day; through friendship of course.  No idea if the sirens learn the lesson or are just tools to demonstrate it.

Once everything is over with, the three head back to the pony world so Twilight and Spike can go home and Sunset can apologize to Celestia and maybe even interact with the pony counterparts of her human friends.  However, even though Sunset is really a pony, she still returns back to the human world because that's where her friends are.  Friendship lessons abound!

That's my hope.  There's also the other option of this movie being all about human Twilight (and her dog Spike) coming to Canterlot High and the rest of the Mane 6 and Sunset Shimmer teaching her all about friendship but I think we still need the pony world to show up.  Maybe by the third or fourth EQG movie we'll have separated the two franchises.

Who knows? Hasbro's continuing MLP's current generation for five more years (As of February 2014) so I really don't know what to expect.  Equestria Girls might end up having it's own television show and franchise while what knows will happen to FIM. Probably get cancelled by next year. All I know is that the fourth EQG movie is probably being released around 2017 according to some rumors in Russian media or something!

I think the movie will be great and so is the antagonist's song and all, but honestly the thing bothering me about it is how the antagonists actually look. To me, they all pretty much look like Monster High and the Bratz threw up all over them, and Habro ran with that and just threw 'em in the movie. :l It's just a little annoying to me ... :s

Even though Monster High is kind of lame, you have to admit they do have some good character designs. And their dolls are better than the EG dolls... X3

Ngl, I actually really like both Monster High and the Bratz a lot, so I wasn't trying to insult them, but I just don't think it looks right in an MLP movie, y'know? X3 And yeah, both the designs and the dolls are beautiful imo. And most every doll is better than the EQG ones, hahah.  ^-^

Psh, I don't care for any of the doll-stuff. XP

Oh, and one of my friends brought up an interesting connection between Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer... and its related to their names. Like they're opposites or related in some way. (Not blood-relative but a sort of Celestia/Luna thing going on.)

To be honest, I've only looked at the dolls while helping do Christmas shopping for little kids in our family and extended family. One of them really wanted an Equestria Girls doll, and one of them really wanted a Monster High doll. I ended up looking at dolls from both lines in the store and realized the Monster High dolls look better and seem to be better quality. Oh Hasbro, you're really phoning it in...

Yeah, I noticed that. The word twilight means sunrise or sunset, and sparkle and shimmer are similar. I think Sunset Shimmer is voiced by the woman who does Twilight's singing voice.

Hasbro isn't going to make it. Since people seem to complain about their toy quality I'm surprised they are doing well. You'd think that a company like Hasbro would consider having better quality toys knowing how much we spend on MLP merchandise but that's not true. Someday, they are going to file for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and it will be their fault. Very interesting though that Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer do have some things in common, despite the major incidents between both of them.

Seriously... Honestly, I liked the Vinyl figures so much more than Hasbro's actual merchandise XP Heck, I like the fanstuff more than Hasbro's actual stuff. I mean, this is a huge profit area for them, they can bring it up a few notches!

...

I've always been okay with stuffed toys and figures based on animals... but a doll on a human is just weird to me. That goes for action figures as well.

I'm more for the vinyl collectables and stuffed toys based on MLP more. I tend to buy things though with Hasbro's licensed approval on it so I know that the money will go back into making MLP better. They seriously should consider the bronies as a major investment in the My Little Pony franchise. I don't think though that Hasbro really cares much for older audiences. As much as they really should for their own good, the people working there don't care about us. And when you mean fanstuff, you talking about custom made merchandise that Hasbro never really approved on right? Like those custom made plushies and stuff like you find on DeviantArt. Because that is technically illegal!

They rely on the fact that their main target is children, since all that matters to a lot of kids is that the show or movie is awesome. If they love the show or movie, they want the toy. Many kids have a lower standard than we bronies do.

I think the companies that have Hasbro's permission to sell MLP merchandise have to pay Hasbro a certain portion of their profits from that merchandise. So Hasbro still gets money from things like Funko's vinyl figures and 4DE's plushies.

Then, why should bronies care if the quality of the toys aren't good? They should be loved as well. Bronies should think like children and just enjoy playing with the toys. Imagination is better then quality in my view. Also, anything really that says "Licensed by Hasbro" means that any company that has that Hasbro logo on it will give a portion of the money back to them. It's good to know that as long as we buy their merchandise, Hasbro will still get money back. But, is it really necessary to brag on how terrible the toys are? Because we really shouldn't. Hasbro works hard to please us, you know.

I know, I was just referring to Hasbro's official content aka their main content lines. The vinyl figures don't have Hasbro written all over it because it's part another company as well. I don't see why Hasbro at this point isn't trying to profit on the larger audience as much as it should. Yea, imagination is important with toys, but quality is as well. Even as a child I liked the stuffed toys bought at toy stores rather than the cheap, little McDonalds toys. It's not like Hasbro is creating really innovative toys, either. I mean it's okay if there's a whole new idea behind it, but if it's pretty straight forward and there's tons of fans willing to cash in, why not?

Yea, the fan-content on DA. It's illegal to a degree... if Hasbro makes nothing on it... but their are certain sites that the toys/shirts are sold from that make sure to regulate where the money goes so that it is legal. I'm pretty sure We Love Fine is one of them.

Not all bronies play with the toys...
In fact, most bronies buy the toys to collect them, not play with them. Or to decorate with because let's face it, a shelf or desk covered in ponies is pretty cool! I haven't taken my Funko vinyl figures out of their boxes. They're in my room looking awesome. I plan to get a Pinkie Pie plush from 4DE sometime and have her hang out with some of my other stuffed animals.

But I will not be getting any EG dolls, even if they're made by another company. I tend not to be very into dolls, even though I have some Bratz dolls.

I don't blame you on any of that. Aren't the majority of bronies between the ages of 18 and 35? Because if that's so, they probably would do that after all. Bronies are older so the majority probably are too embarrassed or don't have any time to play with the toys. Not to mention, in the next 10 to 30 years from now all that merchandise that you collect will be worth ton loads of money. Some that could be worth hundreds to thousands of dollars considering if they are being played with or not. Just look at the G1 MLP merchandise now. The accessories for those ponies are very rare now and hard to collect.

Well, the vinyl figures would be from two different companies. Part of the money would go to Funko, the rest to Hasbro. The other money would be divided between taxes on local, state, and federal levels and the store (Wal-Mart, Amazon, etc) itself. Hasbro won't truly try to profit off the larger audience. Because as I've said before, they don't care. All they care about is that "Ponies are for little girls" and that's that. The world's perception of ponies isn't what we want it to be and Hasbro doesn't want to be blamed for aiming something like MLP to adults which most people in our judgemental world of ours think is unacceptable and inappropriate. I agree with you. Stuffed toys are way more better then plastic figures. They are a little more life like, but still don't judge quality because some bronies like to collect and play with them. Much like their young female counterparts. I'm surprised Hasbro hasn't done anything about DA yet. You think they would've considering how many bronies/pegasisters are making hundreds without the company that OWNS MLP doing anything about it. It isn't right to Hasbro at all. I'm with them if they want to sue against those making money illegally.

Okay, I just found out their full names.

The clip looked kinda interesting... I honestly think this one will be better than the last.. (I mean, at least its not a stuck on destroying the high school thing) Their designs... are obviously merchandise teen girls, so I don't care for that. But at least the story sounds interesting and they didn't forget about Equestria.

A list of songs that're gonna be on the soundtrack has been revealed:
http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/08/rainbow-rocks-full-song-listing-via.html
Though, it looks like some of the songs on the soundtrack will be ones from the first movie, specifically Equestria Girls (Cafeteria Song), A Friend For Life, Opening Titles (Remix), This Is Our Big Night (Full Version), and Time To Come Together. Pretty sure the "Equestria Girls (Cafeteria Song)" song is Help Twilight Win The Crown.

So that means the songs for Rainbow Rocks are likely:

Those last two sound like villain songs. :3 Though, for some reason...

I just find stuff out when it shows up on my Facebook feed because of Equestria Daily.

Hedging ten dollars on a bet they're Windigos.

I love their designs. Whoever's in charge of that is doing a great job.

In the continuing interest of Sonata Dusk:



She is prime waifu bait and I don't even care if I bit the trap.

I'll admit, I wasn't interested in Sonata until I saw the video where they were in the fast food place.

I had a feeling about Sonata even when I first saw her. But I'm biased because I sorta have a thing for ponytailed characters! lol (some of my faves are Botan from YYH & Makoto from Sailor Moon)

I like her even more now! though I hope they don't take the ditzyness too far

I wonder if Sonata will end up liking the mane six and then realizing that what her group is doing is wrong.
When your friends are doing something they shouldn't be, it's hard to stand against them and say "Hey, this is wrong!" :\

Warning: some crazy theory I thought of. Apologies if something like it has been posted before.

I just saw the sneak peak. I just can't help but think that Adagio is Queen Chrysalis (that's not me fanboying over my favorite villain BTW)
I mean, before she impersonated Cadance, which is a musical thing, and so is an adagio. (Not sure what it is though, all I know is that it has something to do with music)
Then they started talking about that green mist like it was food, and that makes me think of the comics where its shown Changeling eat love in the form of green mist.
They also mention they know about Equestria, which shows they were banished before EG started. What I'm thinking is this: what if that whole "love blast" in A Canterlot Wedding actually banished them to the EG world? I know, it's farfetched.
Although the big thing that makes me think its her is when she said they were going to use the magic to make everyone adore them. I know, it depends on whether they mean literally love them or not, but I'm thinking along the lines of "they'll get so much power from everyone loving them that they'll be able to conquer Equestria".
I know there's a ton of things wrong with this theory, but still, a guy can hope, right?

Hmmmm... Here's what I have to say about that:

I can imagine DJ Pon3 walking down the hallway, listening to music, when some of the mane six try saying good morning to her as they pass but don't get a response. But then Pinkie screams "HI VINYL!!!!" DJ Pon3 smiles and waves, and Pinkie grins, goes squee, and waves back. Now how cute would that be? :3 She's not even yelling out of "omg typical hyper Pinkie Pie"ness; she's yelling because she knows that's the only way Vinyl Scratch can hear her. lol

October. The spookiest month.

Time for another skeleton in the closet.

Rarity: And we've all forgiven you for your past *ahem* booboos.
I giggled.

I'll admit, I laughed a little at Flash for the slapstick, but his awkwardness came off as a little... creepy. It was all "Hey, guys! Heh, where's your cute friend, heheh? Heheheh. Oh, she's not coming? Oh... Okay, I'll leave. Heh. Heheh." :I

And dang it, Rainbow Dash. I foresee the villains getting them to argue with each other. :/

The fourth sneak peek has been released!

So, pretty much, they've told us the basic plot. Is the movie coming out yet?

I was laughing because of Sonata  lol
But those pendants are really bugging me now. What are they?!

I think the pendants contain the energy that they feed off of. Whenever they sing, the green mist gets sucked up into their pendants.

Well, yeah, but I mean like where did they come from? Eh, it'll probably be explained.

So, I decided to look at the Rainbow Rocks dolls.

I see the pony forms and am now interested. What was it in G1.. Fairy ponies? Flutter ponies! Flutter ponies 0w0
Plus, Rainbowfied Octavia. Doctor Whooves was one of the earlier Rainbowfied releases.

lol I had no idea there was even another film...... until I went into TPB and put in "pony" and saw it was the top seeded.

Downloaded it and it was pretty good.

I'm still waiting for some kissing action between flash and twilight..... seems like Trixie could have ruined it at the end.... :/




And I don't know what is going on there website..... There pictures are as bad as there poorly made china figures.

I was on my phone looking up the movie and saw some  bizarre pics and I'm like........ who are these girls? I don't remember them... oh...... these are the bad guys?

Ugh, I hate Hasbro's art of the girls. It really doesn't look like them. For some reason, Hasbro decided they should look girlier and have makeup on, including lipstick. :/ They seriously overcompensated with Applejack. She has on a lot more lipstick and eyeshadow.

Sunset Shimmer, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata look absolutely positively nothing like they do in the movie. What is wrong with you, Hasbro?

I don't know but they don't care.

Like I always say:

Nothing is more important then money...... Especially to big businesses..... Particularly Hasbro
