Why can't Equestria Girls have sci-fi elements?

Little girls don't like sci-fi.

That sounds stupid.

>>28374150
And yet.

>>28374159
Yet what?

>>28374150
Well, that has a leg to stand on.
Men dominate the STEM industry.
I think it's something like an 80/20 split.
For some reason, girls are big on science like guys are

>>28374167
I don't think that it is because girls don't like science stuff.

>>28374131
No one has ever tried.

>>28374167
Yet they love Pokémon, which has plenty of sci-fi elements.

>>28374131
I don't think anyone bothered to consider it.

>>28374131
That would require more effort than rehashing the same plot.

>>28374183
Pokemon isn't sci-fi at all really. Their gizmos may as well just run on magic for all intents and purposes. The focus is and has always been collecting cute little pets and wearing short shorts.

>>28374360
Well shorts are comfy and easy to wear.

>>28374360
They have sci-fi elements though.

>>28374360
Most of the stuff in the world is explained through science. It is way more science fantasy than a lot of series.

>>28374375
>>28374395
This is reaching. I promise you they know better than to interrupt the action with a lengthy scientific explanation of how pokeballs work because their female viewers would tune out. The errata has all that shit for the nerdy boys who care.

>>28374416
Just because robots are in Equestria Girls doesnt mean we need an explanation for them.

It could be science fantasy, and explained as much as TSs magic tracking device.

>>28374425
Well it's probably never going to happen, despite all of the ways it might be made to match with the theme, because I said before >>28374137 little girls don't like sci-fi, or at any rate Hasbro is convinced they don't, which may as well be the same thing.

>>28374440
That sounds extremely lame.

>>28374440
Are you sure it is because no one pitched it as a story?

>>28374451
Hasbro has always been lame. That's why modern neurotic helicopter parents love them, they're soft, uninspired, and completely scrubbed clean of any challenging ideas.

>>28374488
There was a sci-fi sequence in the storybook arc of the comics, they've definitely made the connection. But they can get away with it there because the comics are aimed at us, not young girls.

Equestria Girls by contrast is aimed not only at the target audience but intending to emulate Monster High and that whole line of garbage, so any deviation from that theme would be particularly unwelcome. That's partly why EqG is bland, uninteresting trash. It's trying desperately to be something it isn't and has no idea what inspired the thing it's copying, so it just apes along without a clue and something something song and dance number.

>>28374525
Even monster high has sci-fi elements though.

>>28374131
Nice repost faggot
>>28371759

>>28374525
That sounds a bit too reaching don't you think?

>>28374525
Monster High is a pastiche of old horror movies. By its own DNA it is loaded with sci-fi elements and it shows. The series has alien girls, robot girls, genetic experiment girls, and so on.

>>28374525
Ironically, Monster High is full of sciency shit.

>>28374546

Then write a strongly worded letter to Hasbro if you think there's such a strong case for it. I'm not holding my breath.

>>28374615
I am not saying that they will, I am saying your logic is flawed by the very nature that the series they are competing with has no problems throwing sci-fi elements in there.

>>28374131
it's difficult to blend magic and sci-fi together successfully
that's why EqG is going with "modern" and magic
magic is a new element in that universe and it can cause all sorts of interesting plots in the EqG world
not to mention that Starswirl was probably using the EqG world as a dumping ground for creatures he couldn't outright defeat, like he did with the Dazzlings, so we could see them pop up in the future

>>28375077
How the heck is it difficult?

>>28375077
I don't see how it can't work considering our world is practically becoming sci-fi.

>>28374131
laziness

>>28374131
It should.

>>28374131
doesn't sell toys, same with the main show, if it doesn't sell toys Hasjew wants nothing to with it

>>28376034
Cute things always sell toys.
Also we didn't get a toy of Gloriosa did we?

>>28376034
Tell that to Disney and WALL-E.

>>28376034
According to Hasjew it must because they believe Monster High sells. :^)

It should have it.

>>28374131
Writers cannot think of how to implement it.
