  1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZogNJoHprPQ # xP Vapid, tired, high school drama is what also comes to mind here. Assuming that's actually what we get out of it, I'm guessing that Hasbro chose to push it as such in order to compete with Monster High, etc. But honestly.. is Monster High that worth competing against? Does LPS really deal with the typical high school sort of stuff? How will this differ from LPS? I wonder if this could be the upcoming #

    1. @pony ... Promo time... I think I might want to see the original one before I see some guy with an iconic hat garble all over it

      1. @critialcloudkicker heh! I ran into this critique before seeing the original as well and paused to watch it myself first too.

        1. @pony Soo... do you know where I can find it, and can you give me a link, because I find a LOT of the old song

            1. @pony Hmm, I did not like the fact that there is no apparent Cloud Kicker there, I did not like the prospect of Twilight Sparkle boyhunting. I liked the part where Twilight ate the apple, and loved the part that spike actually is a dog, Cus he wooks so cuddwy and adowable... Now for that guy with the iconic hat

              1. I'm firghtened but hopeful at the fact that they began the promo/movie with what appears to be canon Equestria.

                1. @pony A prior synopsis explains that. A magical artifact is stolen with the theif fleeing through the portal. Celestia sends Twilight through the portal after the theif to recover it, where she meets parallel human versions of her friends from Equestria

                  1. @ceruleanspark Ah right. The crystal crown or whatever. Now I remember. Somehow I was still sort of hoping they'd leave canon Equestria out of it by changing the cast somehow, but there was never really any real chance of that happening.

                    1. @pony As I take increasing delight in saying: It's happening.

                      1. @ceruleanspark And we can either spend all our time whining and getting mad about something we have no hope of changing, or we can get over it and get on with enjoying our lives.

                      2. @ceruleanspark xD It is happening.. It is /so/ happening.

                        1. @pony I'd embrace the thing like an overenthousiastic fanboy, rate the content, and cast my judgement over it like either Judge Dead, Yahtzee, or an overzealous fanboy. Depending on wether it is bad, meh, or awesome

                          1. @critialcloudkicker I suppose we'll just have to wait and find out what it's really like. In the meantime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Y-ottJfKoB4

                        2. @pony I need to grab a screencap of Human Twilight and macro "I AM THE ONCOMING STORM" onto it

                          Monday, 13-May-13 10:56:23 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
          2. @critialcloudkicker yeah. gotta add "trailer" to the search

    2. @pony I'm not sure it's possible to puzzle out the "Why" of Equestria Girls. Yes, Monster High probably does represent an unmet challenge to Hasbro's dominance that EQG meets, but the general message of their last meeting was that they were interested in moving into nonstandard markets, with stuff like adding a girls Nerf line or the increasing casualisation of MtG

      1. @ceruleanspark Ah right. Sounds like they're being experimental. The optimistic side of me is happy with this possibility since it means money isn't the /only/ motivating factor.

        Monday, 13-May-13 10:32:55 UTC from web
    3. Despite the terrible cliche I'm actually really very curious about how Twilight might develop a romance since that's something we'd never get to see in FiM.

      1. @pony "Oh wow, he doesn't like books or something. 10/10 hunk, will sleep with."

        Monday, 13-May-13 10:35:37 UTC from web
      2. @pony I actually wonder right now then and there about when this is supposed to happen chronologically ... It has to be after the wedding of Cadence and Shining Armor. Yet before the magical princess-transformicast

        1. @critialcloudkicker She has wings in the trailer. You can see them under the saddlebags

          1. @ceruleanspark good catch

            Monday, 13-May-13 10:43:12 UTC from web
          2. @ceruleanspark Oh, I guess my autoblockmentalfilter was acting stupid again

            Monday, 13-May-13 10:43:51 UTC from web
    4. @vt3c Really ? You want the people who are going apepapayas in the good or bad way about this thing to be mentioned in it ? ... Sure this is your opinion and I respect it but I think somepony owns Leonardo DiCaprio or Christopher Nolan some Inception-reference-money now.

    5. @vt3c Me ? Ofcourse I did. http://ur1.ca/du287
