I
had a lot to say about “Equestria Girls” I wrote several posts and comments on http://www.reddit.com/r/MLPAnalysis
about the movie and one really long article on this blog because the movie
means a lot to me. Months before the Equestria Girls was announced I hoped that
a MLP FIM movie come out and I’d be able to hang out we other bronies at a
theater, but I thought it would not happen. When it was announced I though the
human thing was weird, but I didn’t panic because I was used to fandom crisis
like pink alicorn Cadence and princess Twilight. Now that the movie been out
for a while and aired on TV I feel there are a few things left to say and
analyze before I move on to other analysis.
A
while ago on www.BronyState.net I was
listening to some of the moderators talk after an episode of My Little Pony and
they were talking about whether or not a My Little Pony Friendship is Magic
movie would work. I don’t remember the exact words, but one of them said people
would get bored watching flash animation for more than an hour. I’m not sure if
this is true, but it got me thinking, would a normal pony movie work instead of
Equestria Girls? A lot of people would say that a normal pony movie would work
and they would prefer it over Equestria Girls, but many would call a normal
pony movie an extra-long episode. The Simpsons and Aqua Teen Hunger Force
movies were called long episodes and some people thought Equestria Girls felt
like a long episode, but Equestria Girls is different than a normal episode. Also
a normal pony movie would probably feel similar to an epic My Little Pony
two-part story like “A Canterlot Wedding” which can be a good or bad, but I
think it’s a good thing that Equestria Girls is different. You may not like the
movie, but it probably peaked your interest and got you emotional or passionate
about something. What’s better a boring movie you barely remember or a movie
that really pisses you off, gives you something to talk about, and gives you
something to remember? So what I’m trying to say is that it’s a good thing that
Equestria Girls because of all the positive and negative emotions and reactions
it gave us.
I
enjoyed watching Equestria Girls in theaters and talking about it, but I didn't like what some people were saying about it. I understand and accept that some
people won’t like it, but I didn't think it deserved all the hate it was
getting because it was being judged before it was released and it could have
been a lot worse. For example, the Twilight and Flash Sentry relationship won’t
be explored in season 4, they didn't kiss, and Flash Sentry had a few funny
moments. Also there are way worst movies based on animated series like “The
Last Airbender”, that movie did terribly, but the series it’s based on “Avatar
the Last Airbender” kept going with comic books and a new series called “The
Legend of Korra”. The My Little Pony franchise would have keep going if Equestria
Girls failed because the series, comic books and merchandise were doing well
enough that a bad movie wouldn't stop it. I do have a few more things I want to
say, but I don’t want to repeat more of what I said or wrote elsewhere.
Thank
you for reading and I’m glad I got this stuff off my chest so I start writing
about other things. If I find the time to write I’ll probably write about the
comics, most likely issues 9 and 10 they are the issues about Big Mac.
