The first one WAS done by Meghan. But apparently executive meddling screwed them even if they hadn't been phoning it in. Since some of the staff have said the whole schedule for making that movie was a LOT shorter then it should have been and they had to rush things. Sibsy saying she only had a third of the time to storyboard it that something of that length normally gets.

Plus, really don't think any writer gave a fuck when it came to Generic boring, forced in BS cute guy number 76434562.

I still find it hard to believe that anyone was clamoring for a Equestria Girls sequel, with the likely exception of Hasbro's merchandising department.

Same

It's like they're compeltely out of touch with what people actually want.

The problem is that everything that made EQG good were the non EQG parts, mostly the references and injokes to the main show. Everything unique about EQG sucks.

You forget a link there on that second one?

I think there's a possibility that the 2nd EQG movie might end up being better then the first, and I say this as someone who disliked the first one enough to call Fanon Discontinuity on it. Though I still don't quite like the canon EQG designs for the most part {They look good in fan art}. I also hope that Flash ends up Demoted to Extra or something {When I said that I didn't hate him any more, I was referring to his pony counterpart}, because EQG would be better off without a forced in Romantic Plot Tumor.

This seems strangely familiar...

But yeah Sailor Pone. Luna can be Luna the kitty.idea

Sweetie Bell can be Twilight and Rarity's daughter from the future.[lol]

@Dark: Nobody can tell me that Sunset Shimmer wouldn't make an awesome Dark Magical Girl.

I was never really mad at EQG because I went in with pretty neutral expectations. The only thing MLP related that I've actually been legitimately annoyed at is the most recent comic arc, but that's another story. (And reeks of my Celestia bias.)

The latest arc is alright but, just feels wasted. There is so much that could be done with that set up, and instead we get half an issue of the most dull, boring, and forced feeling 'romance' sub plot yet. (Though STILL the most well done romance in MLP so far.) And just, wasting so much of what could be great on.. bring or dull stuff. Or making jabs at people that care about stuff.

Welovefine is having a sale on anthro pony T-shirts, and the Rarity one is........... oddly...... alluring. *bites lips*

The romance is pretty much just Twilight and Flash on steroids. I would argue that that is a better example of a Romantic Plot Tumor than the latter.

OK, I have said my peace. Back to Disney World!

Now I'm imagining Rarity trying to get her Inkling!Sweetie to use more colours and paint more artistically.

@Gwen. Yes indeed. Would be Twi's rival magical girl.

Funny I've only seen a little of magical girl anime, but I know a lot of the tropes.

I can only picture Twi and Dashie sharing a harem made of the rest of the Mane Six.

Yeah, from what I've heard of the newest arc, we don't even get to meet the Evil AU versions of the Mane 6, which is really disappointing. It might just be the first arc in the comics that I'll skip entirely, because I hate when characters and storylines are wasted in favor of garbage {It's one reason why I view TF Prime as a mediocre show with wasted potential}.

The one in the comics is dumb. But Twilight and Generic pretty boy was just stupid and defied any logic at all.

^^^ Don't be ridiculous.

We all know the rest of the mane 6 is Applejack's harem.
