Everything is no longer cannon. Everything is now cannon. · 10:50pm Sep 28th, 2015
Sooo... I just watched "Friendship Games."
Spoilers ahead.
Seriously.
Beware.
And I ain't blocking 'em all.
Sooo... the entire fandom was probably sure we were screwed over for a brief few minutes towards the end there... but hey... not like its all that bad or anything. Like... definitely not weird.
But, besides the entire thing not being scientifically possible, ("Aha! You're not scientifically possible!"), it was FUCKING EPIC!!! I mean like, how many other 7 year-old girl's shows have 2 nuclear showdowns in the series? NONE! (Okay, maybe Dragon Ball Z, but hey... I'm not gonna' pick on them. I mean... we like little ponies over here!)
Besides that, we go back to the title.
For a moment, did anyone else think that all hope was lost for Hasbro, and everything the fandom has worked so hard to create would just go down the toilet... I DID! There was literally a point in that scene where I just paused the video, and banged my head on my desk. (Which is why chapter 3 of All Good Things may have a random "fwgfnerignqebnrifnwogb qrh wet" in it somewhere. Sorry 'bout that...)
Either way, all in all, it somehow pulled through... which was epic, and awesome, and totally 20,000% cooler than any other show, (yes... even Dexter).
Side note...
WAS I THE ONLY ONE WHO WANTED ONE TWILIGHT TO SAY "You're not scientifically possible!" AT THE END THERE!?!?!?!? I MEAN... COMEON!!!! 
Brohoof /)
Ehh... I disagree...
I found Sunset's role as 'new' Twi to be... lacking. She brought nothing to the group that Pony Twilight wouldn't have.
Now I'm biased as I'm not the biggest Sunset Shimmer fan. I personally found that by shoehorning her into the 'lead character' spot it did nothing more than take away from the other mane five.
I ask how different it would have been if Sunset was replaced by (pony) Twilight? They're trying to act like they're interchangeable, but they're not.
Human Twi's characterization was bs, they half-assed it. She wasn't bad, but she was stupid.
Let me clarify, I liked her up until the plants came out and started eating people. At that point her STILL wearing the pendent was flat out dumb, she knew it was endangering people and did nothing to protect herself or others. Say what you will about 'thirst for knowledge'. Friends or no friends, she's never, not once, come off as someone that would intentionally endanger others. Here she did because... the plot demanded it.
Mistakes are one thing. Knowing and willful? That's another.
Had they taken her full bad, had they showed she had no consideration for others, it would have worked. But, of course they can't do that. She was shown good, shown to be caring of others, with a kind heart.
Another option was to have her say no at the end, to refuse to open the pendent. (Last time it open one of her teammates almost died) and then for Cinch to open it instead.
That would've made sense.
As it stands, the ending was... well... humacorn sunset
. Enough said.
I liked the first two movies, didn't like this one... Her corruption by the magic made little sense, say what you will about absolute power, Sunset didn't become corrupt by her power (this movie). I did like the fact that even still Twilight (human) was stronger than Sunset, and only lost because she saw Spike and stopped fighting. So, plus there.
And tell me, what purpose did spike being able to talk serve? Because it felt completely erroneous.
I think the story of Twi trapped in the timeloop would have been more interesting.
In the end the movie was a bad rehash of the first one with the character's roles flipped. But in that it failed as Twilight (human) wasn't bad and then became good. She was good, pressured into doing bad things, and then was good again. When she cried after being reformed, I didn't feel it, because she wasn't bad at any point in the movie.
I watched it once, I doubt I will again, the songs were weaker than the others, the plot was bad, and the villain, wasn't...
3428225 But dude....
did you not think the fandom was fucked when the two worlds started merging? I mean like... comeon!!!!
Also... that strange electronic beat thing that came up... I want that song so badly...
3428231
Not at all, I thought the movie was fucked when sunset started to feel like a replacement Twi.
And... it did nothing to prove me wrong...
3428241 Oh well.
But someone has gotta help me find that electro theme... IZ WANTZ ITZ BADLY
William Anderson owes me...
Whoa, lets not get ahead of ourselves now....
3429042 Lol.
I'm more of a "Michael C. Hall" fan than a "Dexter" fan myself... but I do enjoy the show.
