OMG!!!!!!! Just saw the movie today and it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the fact that they NEEDED Shimmy to help defeat The Dazzlings. It was a truly heartwarming story! Loved the fact that RD AND Flut both mentioned something about "whooping some butt" and the fact they showed a closeup on Lyra's hands. And although I'm not the hugest DJ-Pon3 a.k.a. Vinyl Scratch fan, the fact that they played their song through the sound system in her car was EPIC!!!!!!!!! Overall... 1,000,000/10!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EDIT: Almost forgot... THIS TOTALLY HAPPENED!!!!!!
I take it you loved the movie then XD Wish I could see it soon but I'll have to wait till there's a video on youtube that isn't from a movie theater :c
Octavia finally has a voice, Trixie got gypped, and Vinyl drives a friggin' Transformer. Also, the alternate Twilight is some kind of scientist. Who else saw that coming?
Edit: I'm a big fat ****ing liar. I loved Rainbow Rocks. But the problem is, so did everyone else. Now I'm just another pleb following another trend. *sigh* why couldn't everyone else hate it like the first one? It does have pacing problems, but everything else is fine. It's a good movie...
Just thought of something. The magic that the Dazzlings see at the beginning is when they defeated Sunset Shimmer in the first movie. A whole season of FIM passes in between Sparky's trips to Canterlot High. Just how long was it before the Dazzlings decided to put their plan into action? Or is there some kind of crazy time differential between worlds?
There seems to be some sort of time anomaly between the two worlds. Celestia and Luna are both over a thousand years old in Equestria. It can be assumed that because there was no magic in the EqG world before the Fall Formal incident, EqG Celestia and Luna cannot be anywhere near as old as their pony counterparts. There's also the fact that the human Mane six are are high school girls, presumably seniors. The human CMC have been confirmed to be freshman, an age difference of only a few years. Compare that to Equestria, where the Mane Six are employed adults, and the CMC are young children. There's also the fact that the Sirens were banished to the EqG world by Starswirl the Bearded, who lived more than a thousand years before the events of the main series. Either they were immortal, which was unlikely on a world largely devoid of magic, or they somehow didn't arrive in the EqG universe until many years after they were banished. Even Twilight herself was confused by that one. Also, based on context clues in the movie, it seemed like maybe a few months had passed between the end of Equestria Girls and the beginning of Rainbow Rocks. Plenty of time for the events of Season Four to take place, and for the Sirens to form a plan and put it into action.
I think it's a decent movie, and a vast improvement over the first one. However, it's not without its flaws: -Human Twilight Sparkle should be friends with the other five humans, she shouldn't be apart of things -the fact that everyone mistrusts Sunset Shimmer highlights the stupidity of her staying on Earth. She's not a human, she's a Pony, she should be in Equestria where she belongs -Human Sunset Shimmer remains as my OC given that we never see her in this movie -The Dazzlings being sirens kind of sets me off. I was hoping there would be nothing supernatural about them and they would be Earth natives, since having conflict come from Earth would have been genuinely interesting -This movie has a "Mortal Kombat Conquest" feel to it in the sense that the Dazzlings are a plot point that doesn't get resolved and will never be revisited again. They are not destroyed, they don't turn good, they just...leave. I'm pretty sure they won't show up in Equestria, so having some resolution to them would be nice -we also don't see the human counterparts of the Dazzlings, which would be nice to see -the whole musical aspect really turns me off. The kind of music in this movie is not really the kind of music I enjoy, it's more for the Volcaloids/Miley Cyrus crowd. This one comes down to personal preference, but I prefer genuine rock to modern pop passing itself as rock. That being said, it is stil a good movie that provides some nice closure for the Sunset Shimmer character.
I thought the movie was great mostly because of Sunset Shimmer.(Favorite character in the movie by far) I still like Sonata, but not as much as I did before. I had hopes that there would be some kind of happy ending with her.
That's what I meant with the "Mortal Kombat Conquest" comparison. One thing "Mortal Kombat Conquest" did often was introduce plot points and then ignore them in following episodes. Shang Tsung's Netherrealm Army? Never shows up after the first episode. Sub-Zero leaving the Lin Kuei? Sub-Zero never shows up again. The fate of Taja's father? Never explored in any episodes. Smoke? Never shows up again after his introduction. I think "Rainbow Rocks" did the same thing with the Dazzlings. After being the main villains for most of the movie, they aren't turned good, they aren't destroyed, they just leave, and won't show up in the actual show.
...that never gets resolved in the show. EVER. Which makes bringing up the plot point pointless in the long run.
I watched the movie earlier today and I thought that it was a lot better than the first movie also Sonata was my favorite villain/ villainess from the movie and I really liked the cameo from Maud Pie.
