  Remember how we were told there would be shorts in-between when Friendship Games was announced and when it would be released? I guess they meant music videos, and they're still going under the Rainbow Rocks name.

Aside from Sunset's new wardrobe and them taking place after Rainbow Rocks, I don't think they have much to do with FG (they're still listed under Rainbow Rocks). Plus these don't need to be in a spoiler thread.

Thow fire magnificent wings at the end so is related to the toy they did long ago.

and boom, problem solved. by the way, like this is a "side musical video" everything you see here doesnt count for the lore, so it was a complete waste of time because it mean nothing, the song is uninspired, and there isnt any interesting animation (most of the animation are old clips, or sunset shimmer running in circles)

And the entire arc of sunset shimmer would be fine and all good, if i didnt hate her so badly.

And because I suspect Unlikeable will bring this up, while Sunset may have wings in her music video I'm not sure if that counts as ascending to be an alicorn. I took the wings as just being a visual metaphor for Sunset being like a phoenix, just as she mentioned being one in the song, plus I don't think they would have Sunset becoming an alicorn in a short when that seems like too pivotal of a thing to put into supplementary stuff.

So if you feel like this is Sunset ascending into becoming an alicorn, I just ask to wait for either confirmation from the staff or until we see her transform again and see whether or not she still has wings or if it was just an effect for that song.

now, this 2 are better than the sunset shimmer one.

the animation have alot more going on than running in circles.

To some degree i feel kind of sad that i hate so violently EG. some times i can see effort through it...
...
but i just cant, when there is plot, and have to be a little smarter, this fall to pieces like crap, and how we should addore them is a big turn off.

And having to like something i dislike... i dont feel it.

Im having problems bealiving the show isnt a shallow sell out alot of the time, Equestria Girls will be almost impossible to fool me.

I think that at the moment, this is just a musical so it doesnt matter.

is like saying human rarity have the power to throw "fashion hadokens"

So it mean nothing at the moment except product placement.

If she does that on the third movie, and people aknowledge it, then it will be a human alicorn princess

Goddamnit marimo, you preninja's my post here with >>36792776 XD
But yes, I take this as HEAVY foreshadowing that they're on board with her gaining permanent wings soon, and that in EQG 3 there's a very good chance she'll ascend.

I wouldn't be surprised if the climax of EQG3 has sunset dogfighting with Midnight sparkle for a bit before convincing her of her faults and that friendship is the truly valuable thing (Due to having gone through that before herself)

On that note, I REALLY like that they give her a horse tail of fire in the video instead of just having fire wings. Damnit the girls need horse tails!



>>36792766


Okay, Did anyone else here think "CLOTHES BEAM!" during this video? Anyone?

Kind of wondering if they're going to decide to give all the mane six random crazy ass magical powers as humans since Sunset and Rarity seem to be doing a bunch of stuff in these. (though that might be just musical logic)


>>36792765
>>36792767
>>36792766


Sunset's video has a nice premise, but its not that strong as a musical. the Friendship through the ages one is EASILY the best. and Life is a runway beats out sunset vocally.
But message wise? Gotta give it up, got a great thing for sunsets.



NOW WHERE THE FUCK IS MY RAINBOW DASH MUSIC VIDEO. YOU DO NOT GIVE RARITY ONE AND NOT DASHIE.


>>36792789
No.
no no.
NOOOOOOO So much no.


its good, but You're going WAY overboard here with your praise :/
Though, I do find it puzzling how much in resources they're pouring out here, the show doesn't get that much advertising in special stuff.



>>36792810

I'm honestly wondering what they're going to do now that the musical aspect of EQG is being dropped for EQG 3, given how much they've been utilizing Music for their advertising.

FiM is still great right now, but outside of the song at the end, TK part 2 was trash, and took itself way too seriously. I'm sure MLP will regain its place come Saturday, but right now EQG is IMO riding a bit higher. There's a neutron star of potential for where EQG can go from here, and these videos are a taste. Shimmy shimms went from a lifeless, vapid, uber cunt, to the ultimate redeemed hero, and perhaps one of my new favorite characters.

Going to come right out here and Voice my disagreement here.The fact that Part 2 Took itself seriously was a STRENGTH. I quite enjoyed that stuff.
There's no reason a show can't take itself seriously for adventure scenarios while still maintaining a jovial feel the rest of the time (look at one piece for example), and I liked that aspect of the finale.

Plus, the final 10 minutes of that episode are incredible.

>Shimmy shimms went from a lifeless, vapid, uber cunt, to the ultimate redeemed hero

Think you might be overstating a little there. While I 100% agree sunset REALLY did a 180 for Rainbow rocks (I absolutely loathed the bitch in EQG and found no pleasure from her except comics lambasting her), I don't think "Ultimate redeemed hero" is something she's become.

She's a GOOD character now. that's not what I'd classify as the the Ultimate level of redeemed heroism. Something like Kenshin himura, now that's the ultimate Redeemed hero. Cecil from FF4, that's the ultimate redeemed hero. Sunset's just a good friend and character.

... but that Rarity Video might be the best thing this waste of resources will probably produce. Nice to know that Lobotomized Rarity has some of the same natural charisma as the real version.

GODDAMN YOU PARADOXES!

>>36792767


I've been meaning to comment on this one: I gotta say, Pinkie pie's part is a terrible addition.
While I normally LOVE pinkie's singing voice (I would even go so far as to say she's the best singer, since Dash hasn't really gotten a chance to get solo songs), this part just clashes.

the music and vibe of that section is just so utterly unlike the previous musical portions that it brings the video to a screeching halt.

On unrelated note, this is probably the FIRST time that I think AJ has had a good singing part in a song. This really felt nice, compared to her other uber-country songs, and I wish we could get more stuff like that (real mellow) in the future.
>> No. 36792922

I didn't watch that one yet, but didn't the same kind of thing happen with Pinkie's part in At the Gala?

Not so much; the instruments playing in the portion of Pinkie's part are still fairly similiar to the other 5 of the mane six's in At the gala.

The instrumentals during Pinkie's portion of this one are REALLY jarring.

They're all meant to represent different eras and genres. Twilight has classical ballroom kind of music, I believe Fluttershy is a reference to The Sound of Music from the 50s, I've seen someone compare Rarity to Beatles era rock and roll, etc. Pinkie seems to be from the 80s or 90s with all that techno music.
>> No. 36792928

  >>36792927
I think she's 90s, it sounds alot like 90s techno (like running in the 90s).

The issue is it just TOO different. You can have 90s techno that doesn't sound that drastically different in flow. its melody breaks from the previous one's melodies.
Like, Dash's part was a Massive shift in style, but it kept the same melody in a recognizable way, yeah? Pinkies just felt jarringly different in how it presented the melody.


its not that its different, its that it just doesn't Connect well.
>> No. 36792936
>>36792928
So I read
>You can have 90s techno that doesn't sound that drastically different in flow.
and thought, "Well I'd just do that by making it really quiet and simplistic." And then I got around to watching that video, and that's exactly what they did. They toned down the techno to allow Pinkie's singing to carry the melody.

Which is actually really fuckin symbolic, holy shit Daniel Ingram. You finally managed to do something meaningful that was more sophisticated than the Cadence pun.
