Interesting, the Rainbow Rocks novel is going t to be a prequel to the movie. Coupled with the shorts, it seems like the writers are really putting more effort into it, with all the prereleases.

optimism for the movie has now gone up. I have pretty strong faith in this one.

Good thing you're optimistic. I'm still wary.

I'm rather apathetic about Rainbow Rocks myself.

[up][up][up] The Vinyl Scratch video is already great at giving her a sort of devil may care attitude without her having to say a word. Even if the movie is just a lot of music I'd already like it better.

Long as they keep it separate and don't involve any of the real ponies... Well not optimistic but, more it could be good. If they shoe-horn in real twilight again.... bleh...

But the Vinyl short isn't even part of the movie anyway.

I'm more hoping they bring in the native Twi from their EQG universe.

Also what's on this Saturday?

[up]Rainbow Dash takes a test. Pinkie raps.

[up][up]I know, but you know what, it ain't gonna be a masterpiece, so just make it as fun as that.

Yeah, I personally think it would work best if they just treat it as a full spinoff and don't try to tie it back to the show's universe. Also, the book is apparently a prequel to the 2nd movie, so I'm guessing that the book will cover human!Twilight joining the rest of the cast, so the movie can have all six of them without spending time on the re-introductions.

That's mainly my feel for this movie. even if it's not going to be great, it's certainly going to be fun with all the releases clearly taking more effort into providing entertainment. And the Human Six as a rock band competeing against a rival just sounds fun. And even barring that, we'll have twelve songs this time round, so there's bound to be a few good ones in there to remix.

[up][up]It's probably best that you don't, given that last time you tried you started bleeding profusely.

@Dark: I'm just hoping that the music has a bit more variety than the mostly pop-oriented stuff in the first movie. It's always sort of irked me when cartoons are supposedly about "rock" bands and they every single song ends up sounding more like power pop. Not that pop (as a genre) is bad, but it's not rock. This is rock:

[up]Well it doesn't help that Rock hasn't been a big force in mainstream music for a long time.

That's the implication.

@Mio: True, but if the entire movie is premised on The Power of Rock, it's only natural that they might want to actually use the right genre.

@J Teeth: At best I wouldn't expecting anything more then some 80s psuedo-Pop Metal to go with the aesthetic if nothing else.

We are certainly not going to see anything like this. . .
