Equestria Girls .... *Rant Warning*
12 years ago
To preface my opinions on this matter have this http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/.....med-rumor.html

What is the pont of using the Mlp ip like this? The characters depicted look neither human or pony. With them "going to earth" how is that going to work? Unless the alternate earth depicted is similar to the one in Invader Zim (no one really notices he is green because everything is too crazy) or Doug (all the rainbow people)is the earth idea they are using. Someone is going to be like. "Your purple whats up with that?
I just don't understand.
If Hasbro can successfully psudo recycle character personality/design (looking at you miss Zoe Trent and Minka Mark) for Littlest Pet Shop, why couldnt they just make an all new ip or revive and old one and do the same darned thing?
Wouldn't it make much more sense to go the Duck Tails, Goof Troop, ect. way and have the "earth" be all animal people? At least then there would be still peg, unicorn, and earth variations among the main cast. Why use the mlp brand for this in this way?
Case in point: If this was done to give Hasbro access into the lucrative doll market, why did they not study the juggernaut of the Monster High brand? Every new doll that comes out is pretty unique, and each charactre in the series is very unique and individualized?
The concepts shown in that picture all look to be all the exact same height build, and those "boots" ick. The leaked character concepts are so mindbogglingly generic. They look like short torsoed mannequins with pony colors and the characters eye shapes slapped on. They lack the personality even recolored vector ponies have!
I think I'd be ok with the premise of the pony characters in an all human setting, if the design wasn't so impossibly generic. I could be much more optimistic if the girls were AT LEAST more appropriately dressed to there personalities. It's also possible if I wasn't aware of how much better Monster High is handling a similar concept I might be less... befuddled as to what is going on.
I'm a doll collector and I knew about this rumor for about as long as it has been out. I was cautious about thinking down on a doll based mlp idea, I love dolls I love ponies it could be awesome is what I was telling myself. This does not look like an awesome marriage of two of my passions
How will friendship be magic in a human high school setting? Unless they pull out some Harry Potter stuff ... >.>
Tldr: Equestria Girls .... I don't even know what to think about Hasbro any more.

Just. . . What? When I first saw the picture, their skin looked normal til I looked REALLY closely. And I see what you mean.
I mean. WTF
I hope they do it where it is like. . . A Pony school and there are OTHER ponies. Not 'humans' and like what you said "WOMAN, WHY YOU BE PURPLE!?"
xDD
It's funny in my head but I can see why this would be upsetting.
Hope they don't go through with it or they change it where it makes MUCH more sense.
and is that real? ick. They could have at least make them all have normal human skin for heavens sake.
I know. I think they might want to be avoiding the whole "race" thing but if this is truly intended to be marked to teens.... teens know about race.
The Trixy design leads me to believe that they will reuse other mlp characters BUT what does that mean about this "earth"?
Unless the Mlp universe is like an alternate reality to the earth that they end up on?
thank god it wont reflect in the the original show
Yea I'm happy fim will carry on as normal! Or as normal as a world with Twilacorn can be :3
It will be ok! *I'll figure out some way to keep this promise if I have to*
I just kinda went all arwrararararw, mostly because I didn't wanna believe twilcorn when she was first rumored, and now that that is a fact I've lost just a touch of my sanity. :3
I just know if this is real and they become dolls I'll end up seeing them in my toy hunting, and it wall make me sad lol.
