There IS one upside of equestria girls however.

its that they've, as of the 4th movie, nerfed twilight and Sunset down to being equal with the other 5 and given them all super powers as well to try and "keep up" with the Unicorn godmoders.

Since the "different pony races" thing isn't as hard and set in the human world they had more leeway there. The Other 5 could never be on par with twilight in the pony world outside of being keys to activate a Deus ex machina beam.

That's a really good point, actually.

And the balance is even worse in Equestria when you remember that pink Shimmer is even more OP than Twilight. She could have been an intermediate character between Twi and the mane 5, but she confirms that there are two different groups instead, the OP Magic Sues and Everyone Else. Thanks for nothing, Josh.

>>29342652
It's mundane and the creators called it an offshoot.

honestly I think that the movie universe could be a good plot point and perhaps several crossover episode where something mystical and equestrian get's banished to 'nowhere' and the ponys have to retrieve it with their counterpart, sounds pretty cool, desu.

Honestly I think they should focus on building Equestria's lore and history before they focus on other universe's. The show needs the sort of childlike innocence it had in the first few seasons and have that explored and questions answered before they start over complicating things again, you know, create rules and laws about how Equestria works. But I doubt it.

>>29342895
EQG partially is.

>>29342684
>>The other mane 6 are more grounded and less flanderized

If anything, they're more flanderized. Equestria Girls isn't interested in telling stories about or developing the human versions of the Mane Six, except for Twilight, whom they gave a slightly different personality (to showcase the differences in their life experiences and how they influenced them). The real story belongs to Sunset Shimmer and always has.

The same seems to be happening in MLP as well with Starlight Glimmer. It isn't a coincidence that in the same season, both worlds became a Mane SEVEN.

Freakshow is a human who uses magic to control ghosts and later reality.

>They're alternate universe versions of the M6 you dope, the don't have the same experiences as the show's m6, and that has story potential.

Except they act the same way. The only one that is different is Twilight. While exploring them might be beneficial, the format that they're choosing to do the EQG storylines causes issues. Which you outlined in the next comment:

>Because they're movies, you need to give the most focus to who the main character for it flow competently otherwise it's just a mess.

There's no time to explore the differences of the other five of the Mane Six. Thus, they just made them easily identifiable and, thus, more flanderized versions of their alternative pony selves. Could they explore them? Sure, but the format doesn't allow it. They've already devoted two movies to how much Scilight is different from Twilight, but they're not going to do that for every other girl.

>>29343077
The two worlds are intrinsically linked and coexist with each other. The ghost zone is a natural part of their world, magic isn't.

>>29343096
Spider-Man doesn't need the connections to other Marvel franchises to be interesting.

>>29343077
There is a two parter that is all about preventing Freakshow from using magic to rule the world.

Ghosts almost don't even factor into it.

Valerie's technology could hurt Danny as a human too, she is just more geared to fight ghosts of course.

>>29343097
>Except they act the same way
Because while AU, they're still the same character just with different life experience.

>the format that they're choosing to do the EQG storylines causes issues

That's why I said we should focus more on them and implied to give the main universe a break. That's the whole point of the thread.

Let's face it, the main universe is tapped with story ideas. But we have another less used universe that's ripe with potential and growth. Get my drift?

>>29343010
It has a tie to another series entirely, its magic is badly explained and only occasionally shows up in the EQG world. It isn't natural, in all the other series I mentioned the world's themselves are fantastical.

>>29343107
Doesn't change the fact it's part of the MU, and thus carries more to the table.

And if you don't count the rest of the MU, then most of Spidey's major rouges are thugs given powers by accidents, or mad scientists. With the outlying factor being Venom and Carnage.

>>29343099
What the hell does that have to do with anything? It's still the source of everything supernatural in the show.

>>29343120
Ghost. Magic.
Just because he didn't use ghosts that time doesn't mean his powers didn't stem from them.

And what does it matter if Valerie's tech could hurt Danny in human form too? It's still at it's core ghost hunting tech.

Magic does not have much of an effect on the world like the Ghost Zone does in Danny Phantom.

>>29343152
It's tied to another series because it's a spin-off anon, those are supposed to have ties to other series. And what's to explain? Magic leaks from another reality and it has to be stopped.

How is that any different from Danny Phantom or Big Wolf or whatever, where the supernatural is not considered normal and needs to be stopped from attacking the normal?

>>29342732

>no hooves is all the reasons

>>29342652
Non-humans are more interesting than humans.

>>29343176
Because the supernatural elements naturally exist in their world. I said this over and over again.

>>29343175
>One person isn't the same as an entire relm of existence
You don't say?

And what does of this matter, doesn't change how every major threat in Danny Phantom is tied to ghosts in some way.

>>29343190
I was referring to the series.

>>29343125
>Because while AU, they're still the same character just with different life experience.

But other characters are not the same, Scilight being the core example, Filthy Rich another. The reason for this is simple: the original thought process into EQG was to make the Mane Six humans so that they could compete with other human based little girl shows. That's it. That meant the characters had to be relatively status quo to the pony world equivalents. If you start off immediately with Rainbow Dash being a troubled delinquent or Fluttershy being an emowuss, you lose some of the connection the fans have with the characters. While they could, and probably should, have created the new series with this kind of difference in mind, giving Twilight a huge dose of culture shock more than she already had, they didn't and it is probably too late to do much now.

>That's why I said we should focus more on them and implied to give the main universe a break. That's the whole point of the thread.

But what's done is done. At this point you can only introduce new characters or old characters with the new spin. You can't go back and undo the "normal, familiar" Mane Six to something more alien or interesting. It just doesn't work now.

>Let's face it, the main universe is tapped with story ideas.

Not sure this is true, but I will say that spreading the writing or creative talent out over the multiple mediums they have now (TV series, EQG series, film) is not a great idea as Season Six showed.

>But we have another less used universe that's ripe with potential and growth. Get my drift?

Sure, and it would feel more familiar and relateable to us because they're "humans", or closer than the ponies are. But you have a completely fictional and magical world over there that could also be explored with nearly infinite ideas. Whether the Mane Six of Equestria are getting run down is certainly debatable, but the world of Equestria isn't.

>>29343187
No they don't, Danny Phantom is explicitly about another universe leaking into ours.
>Danny Fenton was just fourteen, when his parents built a very strange machine, it was designed to view a world unseen
Just because it's tied to Earth doesn't mean it's not a parallel universe.

And neither are the others, the major supernatural aspects are considered 'other' and not natural.

The only case your point has merit is Spider-man.

>>29343226
>But other characters are not the same, Scilight being the core example, Filthy Rich another.
They are though, the basic outlines for they are at least are. Again AU. And again characters are meant to grow and mature, of course Fluttershy and RD aren't going to be who they are in Equestria yet, they need to evolve to that point.

>whether the Mane Six of Equestria are getting run down is certainly debatable, but the world of Equestria isn't.

We've had six seasons and 100+ episodes to expand the lore anon, I love MLP but Hasbro doesn't know how to world build for shit.
I'd love to be wrong, but I am not expecting shit to expanded upon next season. I'd rather call a spade and trend on new ground.

>>29343228
Ghost portals opened up naturally in our world at different points in time. A lot of various things controlling our world came from the ghost zone. The world is made up of mostly dead humans from Earth. It is mentioned multiple times in the show that major destruction of the ghost zone would cause major destruction on Earth.

It is a separate plane of existence we cannot normally interact with the same way there are things in our world we cannot see or hear, but know they exist.

Equestria is an entirely separate, alternate universe.

Big Wolf on Campus has entire werewolf societies, and time travelers from the future. Magic is kind of a natural thing in that world.

>>29343219

For fuck's sakes, stop being so pedantic about this.

Stop acting like their specific source of bullshitery makes any more sense than EQG's. They have their set of rules and they follow them. That is ultimately what each series does and comparing them so meticulously doesn't mean dick in the long run.

Star Vs. Earth has zero magic on it's own and is leaked from other dimensions that it otherwise has no connection to, gee sound fucking familiar?

>>29343270
It wouldn't be hard to make it one, that's the entire point.

>>29343260
Reality Trip is almost as long as one of the EQG films and it features no ghost villains, why? Because the Danny Phantom world has magic in it and if it had run longer we might have seen more magical artifacts from their world.

>>29343289
Humans don't bat an eye about magic appearing in their world though, also Star Vs. world has humans who are stronger than EQG!Applejack with her magical power ups.

>>29343289

Magic is practically natural in Star Vs. Earth since beings from other worlds travel there all the time. One of Star's idols was living in a dumpster behind a donut/burger shop. No one seems surprised by Star's magic at all.

The latest episode shows the possibility that even humans can do occult like magic to raise the dead.

Well, it IS a little girl's show. I feel like a lot of us get lost in that fact. Hasbro doesn't expand the lore because there's no purpose to it. They're selling toys and doing quite well at it. The only ones who care about such things are us not little girls, who think the show should revolve around what we want. I think we'd all like a little more. Maybe not Games of Thrones or anything like that, but expansion would be nice.

At the end of the day, though, the show is writ by people who want to do what they want to do (with Hasbro's okay), which is how it got started in the first place. I don't think EQG is going to get any better treatment, though.

>I'd love to be wrong, but I am not expecting shit to expanded upon next season. I'd rather call a spade and trend on new ground.

I think Season 7 is going to lead into the film, so there it will be a whole season of buildup and the payoff won't be contained in it. They're also doing three half hour specials for EQG as well, so we're going to see if the developments at the end of Everfree will coincide with anything in Season 7 and the film, or if they'll be content to just continue letting EQG do its own thing.

Keep in mind, I like EQG, but it is always going to get the little brother treatment to the main show. We have to deal with that reality.

And for the record, I doubt there's more that 10 actual glimmerfags here. They are the niggers, the gypsies, the vocal minority of any community to make it look like there is much more of them than there actually is so they could feel more important.

Stop throwing "b-but they did this" bit around, it all comes back to the ghosts, that what it's canon decided to focus on. There was never any threat that wasn't tangentially tied to ghosts in some form.

>Well, it IS a little girl's show. I feel like a lot of us get lost in that fact.
I'm not asking for major leaps in lore, but something to help keep the world feeling alive and lived in. Granted what they've done isn't bad, but they could've done better too.

>Keep in mind, I like EQG, but it is always going to get the little brother treatment to the main show. We have to deal with that reality.

That's like saying Rogue One would make zero sense on its own as a movie without the Star Wars franchise to bolster it. The response is: "well no shit".

EQG was never supposed to be anything but a supplement to the main universe in a bid to compete with other shows with more humanoid characters. We all know this. If it was ever created to be a show that would stand on its own merits it would be vastly different.

>>29343415
So? That statement gonna magically make rogue one a good movie or eqg a good show? Or are you just confirming what >>29343366 said?

>>29343447

The point is that EQG would have been done differently if it was supposed to be anything but in MLP's shadow. Whether it would be a "terrible product" or not is debatable as it wouldn't have been produced in the same way at all.

Common spaghetti without the tomato sauce is just noodles. If you weren't planning on using tomato sauce in the first place, you can still make a good pasta dish. The hypothetical theory relies upon everything in the show remaining as is without the important context. Of course it would be stupid and bad, or it wouldn't be a complete product. But who in the fuck would produce Equestria Girls as it is presented without having the original franchise in the first place?

That questionable """"""connection"""""" to pony world EqG has is vacant, and MLP aside EqG is just garbage.

You're saying that EqG is MLP's shadow with pride, as if it's something good. I suggest you reconsider.

>no hooves get off our boards reeeeeeeeee

It's funny because the whole internet was pissed at having hooves inserted into everything.
But when something from the same franchise appears on /mlp/, yet the only difference is a lack of hooves, the autists go insane and seem to think it means a removal of pony forever or something equally stupid.

>>29343632
>If you put one spoon of tomato sauce in a large plate of noodles does it suddenly become awesum spaghetti meal?

Boy did you miss the point.

EQG is fine as it is. It is not an "all around terrible product". The connection exists between the two worlds insofar as they're both Hasbro owned, contain the same characters (more or less), the same creative teams, and so on and so forth. What is missing is direct interaction between the two shows, which hasn't happened yet and may not ever. We can assume that the shows run parallel, though, because Twilight Sparkle talked about her time loop misadventures at the end of Friendship Games, which was an obvious reference (and, at the time, spoiler) to Season 5's finale. That doesn't mean EQG is canon, but EQG can still reference and take advantage of MLP's canon if the writers so chose.

MLP could exist without EQG, but EQG cannot exist without MLP. Nobody is arguing against that. That alone doesn't make EQG bad which is why I brought up Rogue One. Rogue One isn't bad because it is a Star Wars story; Rogue One is bad for other reasons. If you want to think EQG is bad, then using the fact that it requires MLP to function is not a valid argument. It is moot.

The show would be boring without pone

EQG = no pone

Therefor eqg is shit

>>29342652
They're not ponies, and that's what the entire franchise is built off, so they're stuck with it.

I can't, it's better because it focuses on magic in a previously magic-less world rather than on big cities, cons, cart races and college dropouts in a world full of magical creatures and wonders.

Why did you even bring that up.
>That alone doesn't make EQG bad
Ex-fucking-actly
In fact, that's the only reason it's good. Speaks volumes about show quality, huh?
Said it before, will say it again. EqG is bland and boring and the only thing that distinguishes it from mass of other "magical schoolgirls" type of shows is MLP """"""connection"""""". That was the thesis, in case you forgot.
>which is why I brought up Rogue One. Rogue One isn't bad because it is a Star Wars story; Rogue One is bad for other reasons.
Same goes for EqG. As I said before. Yeah, they're connected to their respective universes, but that fact alone doesn't suddenly turn them into a good product.
If you slap Star Wars logo on a pile of shit, it would stay the pile of shit, but with Star Wars logo on it.

>>29343723
>then using the fact that it requires MLP to function is not a valid argument. It is moot.
I've always seen it this way as well. It's like saying you only like a peanut butter sandwich because it has peanut butter in it. No duh, that's one of the main fucking ingredients. It's a spinoff, of course it relies on the source material. If anything, the movies are basically extended episodes.

EQG could work. Just mix high school slice of life with them fighting all sorts of crazy monsters that pop out of their world.

>>29344126
You can make EQG work without constantly referencing Equestria though.

>>29344615
So like Big Wolf on Campus?

>>29344104
this
though I'd like it if they continued FiM as well
EqG is becoming their own thing and have separated themselves from FiM as much as they can, but keep the core theme around, Magic
all the movies have all focused on this fact
EqG1 = Magic is introduced into their world
RR = Magic is attracting creatures that had been banished from Equestria
FG = Magic is not understood, used carelessly and is causing "major" problems
LoE = Magic is everywhere and a team needs to made to figure out the laws of magic in that world, while protecting said world from threats that involve said magic

magic is a new element in the EqG universe and now it needs to be documented
with Sunset, Scilight, and the others, they will be able to do this
ANYTHING can happen
we've already seen what Scilight was able to make that affects magic (magic absorbing pendant)
imagine what could be made with unlimited government funds?

it's like when they created the atomic bomb, literal world changing stuff

>>29344615
>crazy monsters that pop out of their world
some could be from Equestria and others could be "mutants" like Gloriosa when she was infected by magic

sunset, scilight and Gloriosa are examples of using magic that wasn't intended for them
what happens when students start getting magical abilities, but NOT go insane from the power?
would that magic be similar to their pony counterparts, would THEY pony up when using their new abilities?
there's a ton of stuff they can do to make the show fun and interesting

Hell, Sunset doesn't even have her unicorn powers back, instead it was replaced with her telempathic ability
yet Scilight not only has the same magic as Twilight, but got wings out of it too!
Imagine all the shit Trixie could get into if she suddenly had actual magical powers? (and ironically, more power than pony Trixie)

>>29344773
Oh no, I mean all sorts of sizes and shapes. You aren't going to get that with just magic alone so they can just start having things that are just pretty wacky from their world.

Robots, ninjas, mutants, aliens, unfrozen dinosaurs, ghosts, werewolves, vampires in addition to all the magic stuff.

>>29344800
Oh yeah, duh, that actually would work quite well.

>>29344800
I seriously don't know why people don't bring this up, it is a pretty easy solution.

>>29342655
This. Also, counterquestion: why should we? Just like in other franchises like f. e. One Piece, the movies are just bonus material, they may be canon but don't have an impact on the main story

>>29344077
False. Generic shit doesn't have big fandoms. They usually come and go.

>>29344800
>Robots, ninjas, mutants, aliens, unfrozen dinosaurs, ghosts, werewolves, vampires

of course that shit too

>>29344859
I'm one of those people who kept saying they wanted a magical girl, buffy, supernatural, angel, grimm, type EqG show

I was just pointing out that they can do a lot with magic affecting the EqG universe, they have a blank slate in which to write the literal laws of magic

I even mentioned a while back that the supernatural creatures in their world could be from creatures that were dumped into that world from Equestria, or they might have stumbled through a one time portal or even be the descendants of said creatures

BLANK SLATE
just as there is a chance that they'll do something great for the show, there's an equal chance they'll fuck it over
with Ishi taking the reigns (as much as Hasbro allows) and that he actually cares about EqG, he'll do everything in HIS power to make it as good as he possibly can

>>29344921
I am glad someone agrees.

>>29345015
I may be just optimistic, but I'm certainly hyped for a series
one thing I really want answered is, "where the human Sunset has been all this time?"

>>29345189
I mean to say that people constantly get defensive when you suggest that their world shouldn't be mundane. The idea of a villain not being banished from Equestria or corrupted by magic is unheard of.

Honestly I dont agree that EQG is intrinsically shit. the connections between worlds idea has been played with in fanfiction and the idea has promis, but eqg makes it pretty clear that there is no mystery to be unvailed by villinising the only character who ever tried, and not framing sunset and her friends as being "in" on some kind of secret. therefore theres no inherent tension in having a magical talking horse as a friend making the whole world seem dry and stale.

eqg is shit that could have been fertalizer for something good. Imagine of sunset being an alien to the world and the journal had actually been explored as some kind of plot hook?

>>29345818
>eqg is shit that could have been fertalizer for something good.
This. It was good in RBR when they had Twilight useless through the movie and SS had to save the day in the end. Even DJ helped. I still believe that human Twilight should have been like Frankenstein.

I see some people complaining that they haven't taken the time to properly world build in MLP like they could and that they COULD world build in EQG.

An issue there is that FIM was mandated by hasbro to be a slice of life show for 99% of it, with Faust slipping in the action and violence herself.
Its only recently that hasbro's started to realize that making the show like a magical girls show will sell toys well, so they've already kind of set things in stone a bit for the characters, making it harder to develop the world and explore it in an adventure aspect (The other 5 are completely and utterly worthless compared to twilight and Glimmer for fights for example).
FIM STILL has vastly more Potential for world building and an exciting, magical world, just they'll need to either work hard to make things work with the SOL style it has currently, or reboot like with guardians of harmony in an alternate continuity.

>>29342652
All the heart and soul that used to be in FiM left and went to EG. Just compare the directors. They have such different attitudes about their work. The EG director truly cares and tries his best with the restraints Hasbro puts on him. Jim just does it for Twitter attention and a paycheck

The shadowbolts were a great idea; making up a Nega-mane six is an idea that would have been really interesting and cool.
Instead, they fucked that and decided to go "Twilight/sunset time!" and kicked the shadowbolts into being background characters.
They should have made the movie be about the mane six as a whole combating an evil opposites group of themselves with sunset getting twilight to defect to win the day.

>>29347326
>They should have made the movie be about the mane six as a whole combating an evil opposites group of themselves with sunset getting twilight to defect to win the day.
That's what they made it seem like to was gonna be with the title sequence showing each member of the mane 6 and their shadowbolt counter part. I would have loved if each moment where Scitwi was interacting with a member of the main six and collected their magic, it instead was that mane six's counter part and that member taught their counter part a bit about friendship and their element.
That would have been cool.

>>29347326
I like how they weren't evil, but rather just bitches. Having a big bad is nice and all, but the chill tone of the movie worked for me. The issue was they didn't really do anything with the girls. All they had to do was add upon the Dazzle concept by having the nega6 actually be in the movie.

>>29347370
>>29347326
But of course they had to fucking focus it all on fucking Scitwi. I really fucking hate that massive cunt. Sunset should have killed her in that dream world thing they were in at the end.

>>29347326
if they hadn't focused so much on Scilight, they probably would have had more focus
the ORIGINAL synopsis of FG was that Sunset felt homesick (hence the duet song)
but they focused on Scilight more and cut a bunch of good shit out
hell, in the deleted scenes, she was SUPPOSED to have stayed at CPA

>>29347503

>>29347517
But Ishi has heart. That counts for something.
The writers are quite decent
I think it will be good as long as Hasbro doesn't fuck with it too much.
If Shimmer or any of the mane 5 gets shipped off, I'm not watching it.
I don't care what happens to Scitwi though.

>>29347503
what even is there to develop? more high school shit?

>>29347512
I'll try
Remember the magic leak?

The magic leaking into EQG will float around and come into contact with humans with negative emotions; the negative emotions combined with the equestrian magic will cause them to be corrupted into a nightmare version of themselves like Midnight sparkle, Gaia everfree and Sunset Satan.

The girls will have to go around purifying these corrupted humans all while trying to hide the source of the leak from a government agent sent to investigate the strange anomalies the government is picking up.

>>29347532
Not relevant. His point stands, but I do agree that FiM is hampered by the fact that it's a kids show made for toys, so they don't do much with it.

Not specifically miraculous ladybug, but its an easy example.

The idea of Normal people being corrupted into monsters and then defeated and purified by magical girls is a very common occurence in Magical girl shows-- look at sailor moon for example, the villains did that alot in season 1.

>busting their way into the human world
DUDE, magic and magical creatures coming into the human world is the entire PREMISE of the equestria girls series.
See the sirens, Sunset shimmer, magical amulets in Legend of everfree...

That's like complaining that More aliens in Transformers is too complicated and they should be human built robots.
>>29348168
I blame glimmer.
>>29348264

Its not really a secret :/

Sunset's magical powers is mind reading when she touches you.
Twilight's is telekinesis
Rarity's is her Radiance powers (Gem themed Green lantern)
Rainbow dash's is super speed
Applejack's is being inbred. And super strength. And being inbred.
Pinkie causes things she touches to explode (or might just be things with sugar inside, only sweets she touched exploded). And yes, its JUST as fucking horrifying and bad of an idea as it sounds giving her that power.
Fluttershy can talk to animals.

>>29348453
But there is only one portal that we know of between both worlds, there is no portal necessary for the transformers to travel to our world.

Also Transformers has its own world building. The problem is that FIM isn't going to reference EQG, so it makes a lot of sense to avoid things from Equestria as much as possible.

>>29348521
Gonna post another idea I saw on ponychan's /oat/ that also avoids having all the conflicts stem from the portal's leaky magic or beings from Equestria.

"The school statue is a waypoint for magical phenomena, not just from Equestria but magical beings dormant to the world of EqG. Thus the school regularly get supernatual happenings like goblins, fairies and stuff that the mane six have to prevent before crisis happens.

Think American Dragon or Juniper Lee which had similar concept."

>>29348597
That would be kind of nice.

I'm surprised that artists haven't taken advantage of sunset's ability to make lewds. Especially ponut joe.

Sunset reading people's minds has already become a meme; there's a few lewds in there.

>>29348082
Maybe those creatures will go crazy if they enter Equestria because it is human world magic?

>>29348105
I would rather have an alien menace similar to 50-60s sci-fi films.

They wouldn't be cute humans doing cute things. Humans aren't cute by default.
And that's why it should be ponies instead. They are prettier, cuter, have a better design, a more fleshed out and mystical world with far more possibilities and they are grown up, not a bunch of high-school students.

>>29348453
>or might just be things with sugar inside, only sweets she touched exploded
You are right.
They confirmed in the directors commentary that she can only make sugary foods explode.

Cardboard cutout villain with no apparent motivation, also looks like an edgy OC.

>>29349222
>>29348940
I honestly do expect them to pull a "Evil sweets/cake monster" villain out at some point that's unstoppable and for pinkie to defeat it by touching it and causing it to explode.

Are we talking about Sombra or Tirek? Or chrysalis? Or half the villains?

>>29349281

Tirek wants revenge for having been put in Tartarus and also, considers all power to belong to him. Chrysalis literally belongs to a species of emotional vampires.

>>29349281
at least tirek was a callback to G1

>>29349293
I'm talking about his design. I'm not defending sombra's in show story; that was shit. I'm talking about calling his design an Edgy OC.

There's not much worse than basically going for "Giant red satan" for design.

>>29349369
>I'm talking about his design. I'm not defending sombra's in show story; that was shit. I'm talking about calling his design an Edgy OC.

Red and black is almost edgy by definition. Then you have the curved (and also red) devil horn.

>>29348940

The human body is already loaded with sugars. She'd be as dangerous as Magneto if everybody had a high iron diet.

>>29348809
>And that's why it should be ponies instead. They are prettier, cuter, have a better design

So you'd be on board with better designs. I can agree with that. I'm not a huge fan of EQG desgins either.

>a more fleshed out and mystical world with far more possibilities

The former is true, the latter is debatable. However, you have six seasons containing 143 22 minute episodes for almost 53 hours worth of story with which to build a world vs four movies at a total of almost 5 hours worth of story with which to build a world (not counting the shorts). Of course one of those worlds is going to be better built and established. The only benefit that EQG has in that regard is that the human world feels "normal" enough to us that a lot of world building isn't necessary.

However, neither Sunset nor Twilight, despite both being aware of the internet, has somehow never found out the legends of pegasii, unicorns, and the existence of horses on "Earth", which seems like something that just has to be explored eventually.

Looooove to know how they feel about Budweiser commercials...

>and they are grown up, not a bunch of high-school students.

I never got the sense that Twilight and Co were supposed to be "grown up". There are subtle, but clear distinctions between "adult" ponies and the Mane Six, with progressive aging being visually shown as flashbacks (and time travel mishaps). Since Equestria is not as technologically advanced (unless the plot demands it), it seems that they view "coming of age" similarly to our old days, where teenagers could be come masters of their respective houses and businesses. Obviously EQG parallels our world more closely, so, yeah, teenagers in high school.

EqG is only as shit as the writers.
The writers are really bad at this.

>>29348168
>most
The number of EqG threads relative to pony threads speaks otherwise.

>>29350827
exactly
as I mentioned a few times, EqG barely makes up 10% of the board and there are literal worse and majorly off topic threads out there that THEY never complain about
only a few of that 10% are actual EqG threads

>>29351449
>EqG barely makes up 10% of the board

And about half of that is "hurr durr EqG u mad brony" type shitposts.

>>29351499
hence why I said, "only a few of that 10% are actual EqG threads"
the rest are clearly shitposting threads and "daily reminder"

if EqG wasn't popular, they never would have made 3 more movies, 3 specials coming this year and more than likely, a show in the fall

regardless of how the board feels about EqG, its MLP and belongs here
no matter how much whining, crying, kicking, screaming and memes posted, is EVER going to change that fact

>>29349576
Mario can build a world in just 5 hours.

>>29347192
Finally somebody who gets it

>>29353980
That has nothing to do with whether it has more effort put into it than Mario.

>>29354692
and Mario has nothing to do with EqG
with the specials and an EqG show practically guaranteed, they'll have plenty of space to flesh out the EqG universe

>>29342652
The problem with focusing in the EqGverse is that they haven't done anything with it.
Like we know very little about the actual world. The official Hasbro website just calls it the "EqG world" but that doesn't tell us shit.
And the movies have done nothing to really build up the world. I personally think the potential is there even with the high school setting. They've dropped some interesting tidbits here and there but they don't go anywhere with it. Like I was hoping that tree monster thing was the real villain of LoE or that the magic they found in the cave wasn't from Equestria, that would've helped with building the world. They can also focus on the penal aspect of the world as we saw with the sirens.
But as it stands there is literally no world building to the actual EqG universe. We don't know anything about the location it takes place in, nothing about the country or anything like that.

>>29355180
I was making a point that EQG had plenty of time to build a world.

>>29355232
Developing the world requires more work by the writers to remain consistent with how the world is.

>>29355410
when would they have had time to do that exactly?

their world is supposed to be very similar to ours, minus the magic stuff
and the mane5 didn't "need" to be fleshed out because they're supposed to be a throwback to the ponies we met in S1 (the whole meeting EqG Fluttershy)

AGAIN, with the specials and show, they WILL flesh that shit out more if they have to

>>29355232
they only get 70 minutes to do a "season" worth of character exploration, character growth, world building, etc, vs 572 minutes of a 26 episode season
that's the equivalent of just over 8 EqG movies

why are people saying that they won't build the world when it's already obvious that it's very similar to our own and the staff literally haven't had the "running time" to do so?
they have no reason (yet) to explore it
They did some in LoE with the magic cave and that that they are so far away from the city and magic has "followed" them out into the middle of nowhere

the specials just might tie up the loose ends from the movies before they get to an EqG show
where's human sunset?
how did the Dazzlings survive for a millennia in a world without magic?
what happened to them since their defeat?

the show practically has a blank slate to work with, so anything can happen

Vinyls car came out of nowhere when we saw it transform, so there's the "advanced" tech for the staff to explore in the show
why does she have it?
where did it come from?
is it THAT unique of a piece of tech?

>>29355654
Each Star Wars film lasts about the time of two EQG films. Star Wars didn't need three films to flesh out its world.

>>29355654
There are like 500 hundred different shows/movies that built a world in less time.

>>29355842
Star Wars is full Sci-fi so there's a shit ton of disbelief that you accept because of that fact

if you're going to use examples, use shows and movies that are similar to our world

>>29355874
>There are like 500 hundred different shows/movies that built a world in less time

and how many of them are very close to ours or even has you assume information about things before going further into them?
Buffy, Angel, Supernatural, Grimm
they're all based on our world and they slowly built their own version of creatures and most of those creatures are based on preexisting common knowledge, only when something new that is vitally needed for the heroes to win, do they actually explain/show it
The EqG world is supposed to be similar to ours, but now has the element of magic in it
they have been building on that since the first movie
the movies focus on the UNUSUAL AND INTERESTING SHIT in their world that specifically pertains to the PLOT

what more should they have built up in the movies?
more importantly, if it wasn't important to the plot of the movie, then why should it have been in the movies?

>>29356273
Terminator?
The Matrix?
Danny Phantom's first 5 episodes?
Gravity Falls first 5 episodes?
The Loud House's first 5 episodes?
Any MCU origin film
Sonic X's first 5 episodes
Power Rangers' first 5 episodes
Steven Universe's first 5 episodes
Powerpuff Girls's first 5 episodes
Dexter's Laboratory first 5 episodes

I dislike EQG because I utterly LOATHE the setting.
"High School" anything is utterly irredeemable cringy shite without exception.

It cetainly doesn't help that the stories are not really all that great, and the characters don't "feel" much like thier originals despite being purportedly the same.
Also; My Little PONY.
Again it's in the title EQUESTRIA Girls, which is intrinsically misleading as it has only the most tenuous connection anything involving actual ponies.
So:
>cringefest school drama
>mediocre story and characterisation
>deliberately misleading title in an attempt to jump start the success of bitchy school toy adverts with the success of magic horse toy adverts

If you like it, that's fine.
Many others don't.
I know, I know. Shocking isn't it? People are capable of (dis)liking something you don't.

>>29358448
It's called Equestria Girls because the setting is suppose to be an alternative Equestria in a more mundane setting

>>29357707
star wars is science fantasy

>>29357707
Like >>29359205
said, it's basically just fantasy with space trappings, though some of the old extended universe plays a little bit closer to the sci-fi end.
