So I've now seen the Equestria Girls movie. It was a lot better than I was expecting...for the most part.
I expected the aracial, candy-colored people to be weird, but that part really just made me think of Doug.
I like that the actor who does Twilight's singing voice gets to voice the antagonist.
All the cameos of pony characters as humans made me happy.
Daniel Ingram did good with the songs like he always does.
The final battle and its resolution are DUMB!
I'm torn on how to feel about the excessive references to the show. Stuff like "I wish I had some sort of Party Canon!" seems forced, but then they sneak in Scootaloo doing the Chicken and someone snatching Vinyl's glasses to show her eyes, and it makes me smile.
At first I was sad that I couldn't spot Derpy anywhere during the film, but she did get one little cameo that was impossible to miss~
After I finished watching the movie, I went through the special features and rewatched all the songs.
Also,
EDIT: Thank goodness for the internet. Derpy does indeed appear at least twice during the Cafeteria Song.
My cousin liked MLP since like... last year. My entire family though/thinks it's weird. I was suspicious of it, but couldn't care enough to have an opinion of his pony addiction. Now I live with him, and he has since made me watch it...
... o.o
Last night I finished all three seasons and watch the movie too... all inside a week/week and a half. It's probably gotta be one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. I now own a Rainbow Dash (The most awesome, you all know it) lanyard/key fob and have put a poster for VinylScratch and Octavia on my door.
There are only two things I don't like about MLP. Babs Seed's voice (it sounds too fake to me), for one. Second, I too hated the ending of Equestria Girls. The whole demon-like creature-thing Sunset Shimmer turns into just looks stupid. Oh, and when they agree to become friends with her after she had just nearly killed them all? Yeah, that's what I would've done too (not). I would've left her in that hole.
Otherwise, yeah, I'm now a brony.
