Equestria Girls: A MLP:FiM Spin Off

What happened?

Large groups of people doing things like yelling out fandom references and quoting lines during the movie.

Ah...oh dear.

Sounds obnoxious, but not unexpected.

On another subject, it seems we'll be getting EQG books and comics soon.

And I've also heard most people saying that the audience was almost all bronies at the showings. Mostly due to it getting almost no advertisement.

And still nothing that bad, yes should realize it's a movie theater, not a general meet up, but it's about what you'd expect.

Not great, but not entirely unexpected.

Can someone tell me what the heck is with this "no fedora" crap?

Oh, by the way, possible trigger warning.

Hey,'m happy to have more EQG stuff. It seems like fun.

My guess is, you know, the stereotype that geek guys use Fedoras...because they're nerdy, or something.

It would explain why Bobby Curnow (the MLP Editor at IDW) has been somewhat coy about the subject of Equestria Girls (he replied with a "no comment" at one point, and has said he and some of the writers have read the script)

I for one would not be oppose to a prequel comic about Sunset Shimmer exploring her time as Celestia's student and how she came to discover the human world.

Again as long as it is 100% separate from the real comic, whoo hoo.

A don't think a bit of noise at the showings is unexpected. At the showing I went to, some of the kids (interestingly, despite being marketed toward toward older girls, non-parent non-bronies there were pretty much looked to be all in the FiM target age range) got so enthusiastic that they got up and were jumping around during songs and stuff (which I thought was adorable).

Well, the current two series aren't 100% separate from each other—the cloud gremlins Big Boy and Runt featured in Micro-series Issue #2 cameo in Friendship is Magic Issue #6, some of the cameo ponies from Friendship is Magic Issue #1 (in one case, Friendship is Magic Issues #1-4) also cameo in Micro-series Issue #3, and Derpy's mailbag has the same number 1701 in both Micro-series Issue #3 and (Cover A of) the upcoming Friendship is Magic Issue #9.

On an unrelated note, Amazon has finally replaced the placeholder title "My Little Pony: Fall" with the real title, but they've also switched the rating back from G to R.

Man, this movie is hardcore.

Someone over at Derpibooru is considering writing a fanfic based off the stuff people said.

Link for context?

Boom

Well, that was some pretty incoherent "WTF". It'll be quite the trollfic if they do go through with it.

That might be a case-by-case basis. My theater was 50-50 with the target audience and bronies (Slightly leaning more toward the target audience) and pretty much everyone was well-behaved. I was even talking to a couple of parents when I was waiting outside for the theater to open who wanted to know about any pony merchandise coming up as well as where I got my shirt (It was the We Love Fine shirt based on the season 2 group poster). There was also this one little girl who was disappointed that she forgot her MLP shirt but I noticed she had a shirt of a horse with a pink mane and yellow coat, so I told her that we can just say that she's wearing her "wingless Fluttershy shirt", which brightened her day. If there was any loud noise, it was usually a collective reaction to the scenes. Probably the only time any loud noise was made by the bronies was when I, as well as a few other who followed, embarrassingly Squeed at the end of the credits, but the target audience had already left once the credits started rolling.

I am a little ashamed that I ended up saying "shit" a few times during the movie. Granted it was a whisper and there was thankfully no one from the target audience near me, but I tend to usually be better at keeping myself from cussing in front of little kids.

Hey, the IDW editor responded to my inquiry about EG comics! Apparently I missed a previous confirmation that yes IDW is doing EG comics, he hinted more info will be revealed at Comic Con, and it won't take place in the ongoing.

My guess is they'll take a break from the micros and do a mini-series to fill the second MLP comic slot for a little while. Maybe a prequel series with Sunset, I have a feeling the answers to "What happens next for the human world?" will be saved for a TV series.

Or, since the pony comics are doing so good, they will simply make a third series for EQG

I remember Bobby said something a while back along the lines of not wanting to put too many pony books out every month. He's also in charge of the TMNT and Godzilla comics, so I wouldn't blame him for not wanting to put too much on his plate. On the other hand, I think they're only doing one Godzilla comic series at the moment...

Yes but the two pony ones they have right now, are their best selling comics.

Theater ediquette?! Come on. Haven't they ever heard of Rocky Horror?!
