Equestria Girls

[KarentheUnicorn]

All the teenage scenario's I've witnessed over the years in cartoons and/or tv programs eventually deal with things like dating/boyfriends/proms/drugs/bullying/sex, etc. etc. Nothing wrong with having good stories about those subjects just saying that is the reality.

Oh, no, I'm not saying such shows are bad, just that they're not my cup of tea! I apologize if I came off as if talking down about teen dramas.

Oh no, I never meant to imply you said anything wrong, just sort of discussing what they(hasbro) mean by teen/adult. No, never thought you said anything wrong at all Just more wondering at they're concept and where they are going with this new program idea.

Okay- so this is the new updated photo of the equestria girls?  So they are not in fact, human, but they have ears and wings and things (possibly tails ?)  That doesn't make a lot of sense if they were transformed to humans to come to the human world and go to human high school?  Guess it doesn't matter.  I am wondering how these will translate to dolls-  pretty disappointed with the outfits, but they might not actually look like that...

I don't find them really appealing.

They don't have tails. Their hair is made long to also represent their tails. This way Hasbro gets the 'get out of jail' free card on trying to figure out how to attach a 'haired' tail to a doll body.

I don't really like the idea of humanizing ponies and I really hate this concept art so far. My 5 year old daughter doesn't like them either. Maybe they'll look better as dolls, time will tell. As far as competing with MH, I don't think they have a chance. MH are so detailed and edgy, these are totally boring and I don't see how they could possibly appeal to teens or even tweens. They look to me like something the younger aged girls could be interested in.

The problem that I have with this whole thing is that, it's no longer My Little Pony.  This is My Little...People.  I am, frankly, disappointed by this decision to make this line.

Bleh, those human designs are really generic looking. I really dislike how they changed Pinkie, Dash, and AJ's eyes, looks like they were trying to make them "sexier" or something. Also having them all in near identical clothes (super short skirts and knee high...boots? Shoes? What even are some of those) irks me as well.

Not to mention its just a really stupid concept to revolve an entire show around. I mean, I could see just an hour long special or something, but an entire series? Part of me thinks their trying to cash in on the Monster High craze or something.

And now I'm going to walk away.

Seems to me like a remake of Mew Mew Power

Now that you mention it... you're right. It's like Tokyo Mew Mew/Mew Mew Power, but in reverse! In stead of going from human to animals, their animals turning into humans. Now if the EG have super powers they use to save the world like the Mew Mews do... THEN I might watch it.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really indifferent to this, haha. xD I figure if it's good, it's good! I'll watch it, if i like it then yay, if I don't, then.. I don't watch it. It's a "spinoff" after all, which means it has no effect towards the original.. it's something else entirely.

I mean, worst case, if it's bad, we can all ignore it and go back to watching the ponies we like. c: no sense in wasting time on hating it. If it's really bad, then it'll flop, and it'll go away. xD

I guess i'm just saying I don't understand some of the "omg nooooo this is awful they ruined ponies forever" reactions. xD I mean, I'd prefer them stay ponies, but they could've done something worse - they could have taken the main show and changed it. Season 4 could have been the ponies changing into humans... now that might bother me a bit. But this thing here is just a spinoff. c:

It's like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. That was a spinoff from the original Pokemon games... and a lot of people didn't like it because "omg noooo the pokemon talk that's WRONG". But it actually wasn't that bad, and it didn't change anything about the original games. Pokemon went on with Diamond/Pearl, no bad changes there, while Pokemon Mystery Dungeon went its own separate way. I feel like this "Equestria Girls" thing will end similarly.

^This. I love Tokyo Mew Mew! *points to avitar* lol

[Galactica]

I wouldn't get too worked up about it- it won't have anything to do with the MLP cartoon or toys-  just an off-shoot.   I figure if the toys come out cute, then yay! If they look stupid- it won't be that hard to ignore them.

[Luxrayx]

I like the art. I want a doll. I'm just sad about them making humans to celebrate 30 years of ponies

[CottonTALE]

I'll be happy if they go with a Blythe-style look to it (like the Neo-blythes.)

Hasbro does own the Blythe line now, so it's not a bad outlook onto it.

That seems like a reasonable possibility!  Whatever they do- I am curious as to the outcome.  Wonder when we'll see them?
