I really had high hopes for the music in this movie, because it was going to be more modern and I hoped to get some songs that I would like. It turned out to be only pop. I hate pop (unless it's pop punk like Paramore).

Holy crap guys, do you have any idea how embarrassing it is to hear people review it with comments like "oww that hurt to watch," "urrggh I'm gonna be sick," and so on? It sounds really self-entitled. If it was meant for you those comments would be justified, but it's a cool video for little girls, showing people having fun and with a dance routine they can learn with their friends. If I was 6 I would think it was brilliant, and that's the point.
I think Cave's "popcorn garbage" take is accurate though.
Slightly repetative music aside (though to be fair it's one of the best ways to make something "stick"),
I actually think it's pretty successfull in being a "brand anthem" for the spin-off, since there has undeniably been effort put into making this, you know, not suck completely (unlike what some people make it seem like)
It's just aimed directly at the kids (you know, the ones the show is actually aiming for as its fanbase), and not the older audience.
Kids in general dont mind the "POPcorn garbage" nearly as much as an adult, and that's a fact.
Barely anything about MLP or its spin-off material is targeted to older audiences. They just throw us a bone every now and then so the fanbase no one expected will stick around.

I liked Equestria Girls, it had everything that made the regular show good; clever writing, great characters, laugh out loud humor, etc. However, I hate the idea of it and I hate the fact that it happened. Because when you get down to it, it's nothing but an hour long commercial for a doll brand.
My Little Pony was meant to be a show for everyone all the way back to G1, it only became so focused on little girls because it proved to be more popular with them (most likely because of the female cast and there was no internet back then). This is why G1 was so dark and badass compared to G2 and G3. Bonnie Zacherle herself confirmed in a recent interview that she always meant MLP to be for everyone.
Lauren Faust has said countless times that she always hated shows for little girls, so her vision was to bring back the genderless MLP for both kids and their adult parents. This is the vision that DHX tries to keep alive and Hasbro keeps raping in the ass and is the reason that things like this piss me off.
I hear so many bronies saying that they admit to watching a little girls show and that they are not the target demographic. No, YOU are the target demographic just as much as little girls, little boys, and parents watching with their kids. And, at least in DHX's eyes, we are not ignored. Do you think things like this would have happened if we weren't?

I hope NOW you understand why Equestria Girls rubs me the wrong way?

"Hour long comercial"? Kinda like the show in general then?
Hate to break it to you, but you're watching a show licensed by a toy company.
The one reason Hasbro even cares about MLP as a show nowadays is because it's nothing but a MASSIVE commercial for their entire toyline for MLP.
If you need examples, then I'll kindly point you to the Crystal Ponies, Alicorn Twilight, Shining Armor, Cadance.
Hasbro holds no qualms about changing the show to market a new toy, since the only reason they even allow it to exist to begin with is to market toys.
We're talking about a company that's been around since the 60's (longer then a good number of people in the fandom has been alive), and supposedly coined the term "Action Figure" just to sell dolls to boys as well.
Did you REALLY think they wouldn't use the show as nothing but a comercial for the G4 toyline?
The moment the G4 toyline sales dry up, they will cancel the show immediately.
The Brony fanbase could dissapear entirely, and Hasbro wouldnt give a damn,
because they're not trying to market this to us.
(Originaly this went on for waaaay longer prior to posting, but in the interest of attempting a return to thread topic, and the fact I'm just tired of explaining this to people who adamantly believe otherwise due to reasons best not stated)

Did you even read all I said? I acknowledge that Hasbro is a money-loving whore that takes all the shitty decisions and terrible ideas to DHX just so they can sell their shit while still keeping the "MLP is for little girls" misconception. And the way DHX takes this shitty ideas and makes them work into the story is massively commendable. What pisses me off is that Hasbro, instead of working with what they have, decide to change the actual show and merchandise to keep their girly image. How come we haven't seen Discord, or Queen Chrysalis, or King Sombra toys? Because Hasbro just refuses to let go of the female image of MLP instead of reaching to all audiences like DHX does.
Look at this video (especially the ending). It describes in a nutshell what MLP merchandise is.
See how they completely ignored the Changeling arc of the episode just so they could appeal to ONLY little girls?

*shortened*
And you obviously missed what I was trying to get at.
Hasbro's only concern with MLP, being a toy company, is to market the toys as much as they can.
Unless the Brony fandom begins to cause a SIGNIFICANT difference in the sales of their toys to the point of being majority, and you cannot tell me we have reached such a status (just pass around the question how many people actually own merchandise, there are not going to be as many as you think), It makes complete sense for Hasbro to not prioritize the older audience in the least.
This is a company that has been around since the 60's, they're not going to take risks. They would be crazy if they did.
They've established an image that works for the franchise, and attempting to change it would be an insane gamble.
Their profit is measured in objective sales figures, and like all companies, they will do what gives them the most sales.
It's the same reason why DHX complies with all the additions that Hasbro demands to be put in, because if they didn't, Hasbro could just move to another company, and whatever income they get for producing the show goes down the drain.
That they try their damnest to make it flow with the story is because they know if they turn the show into shit, Hasbro can again just leave and hire another company, then start over.
No one is really that much of a "good guy" here.
If you really thought Hasbro wouldn't take every chance to market toys through MLP FiM, you were wrong.
MLP has allways been for girls, because it's what works.
I mean, hell, even during "Lauren's reign", the story was still in a way "a cute tale of friendship, love, princesses and magic" (a verry poor summary, I know, but I'm not spending more time on it). The show is girly as hell, and will be untill Bronies begin to provide the majority of Hasbro's income for the franchise.
The fandom has also been proven fickle as hell. I mean, just look at the reaction to ANY change in the show lately.
Also keep in mind not a single company involved expected the Brony fandom (They never changed marketing scheme from the beginning, so on an objective front, they have plenty of proof that we LIKE having the show aimed at kids).
Not a single sensible company would market towards an audience that's been proven that toxic, and most of all entitled, as the brony fandom.
Bronies were unexpected as hell, and have now, on large, been proven entitled as fuck to the point of declaring the show dead as soon as there's a single change from the status quo.
No company on earth would listen to them, as the changes Bronies demand (you heard me, demand) largely conflic with those that would still keep the kids interested. And the kids are the ones largely affecting their sales figures since a looooooong time back.
Any company ever, is going to adhere to what gives them the most profit.
And openly marketing to both is a HUGE risk for everyone involved in the production.
If you wish to take this discussion further, though I dont think I can make my point more clear, we reaaaally should take this someplace else, as to not hijack the topic further.

*long elaborate post*
Wow, that was pretty long. Also, I'm pretty sure this fits well into this thread, I wouldn't call it hijacking.
I hate bronies with a passion, heck, I have it on my member title. However, I do not believe that what I'm doing is "self-entitled". Like the Derpy censorship, many bronies started to bitch at Hasbro, despite the fact that she offended some people. THAT was self-entitled. I simply believe in a show with integrity which, thanks to Hasbro's dictatorship, MLP is not.
What you are saying is that if the MLP merchandise were to be consistent with the show, less little girls would buy it and is thus a big risk for Hasbro? Remember that I am not asking the show to become Tim Burton's Batman, I only wish for consistent promotional material (toys and in this case, movies and commercials).
Remember that the show itself IS taking these risks, when was the last time you saw a spa or dressmaking episode since season 1? Did season 3 ever have any girly scenes? And are less girls watching the show than they did on G2 and G3? As far as I know, MLP is more successful than it has ever been and girls are still loving it. If this weren't the case Hasbro would just go tell DHX to pull the plug on all the deep storytelling and go back to making episodes of the ponies having crushes and brushing their manes. What happened is that by opening the show to a bigger audience, they found brand new watchers that while they might be in the minority, have made an impact. They did not close the door on the girls, they simply made it bigger to let other people in. And, thanks to the promotional material, a lot of adults and boys, that would otherwise watch the show are early turned off by the pink cover that Hasbro paints.
With the toys, they are focusing on a very, very, very small demographic. As Lauren Faust said, while boys shows continue to be popular to their teenage years and even adulthood, a girl show becomes too predictable and dull and when they become 7, they are too smart for that stuff.
So it confuses me that Hasbro does not even try to transfer the show's success to their toys, movies, and promotional material. They don't have to make the switch in a snap, the could just start by releasing one or two good villain toys and books with the ACTUAL complete story of the show, and see if that sells well. Sure, there IS a Nightmare Moon toy, but she just says the regular shit that the toys normally say; "My mane is so pretty!". That's playing it WAY too safe.
But anyway, I'm just ranting now. As long as Hasbro doesn't make a change for the show so bad that not even DHX can make it work, I will keep on watching and I will ignore the merch. And apparently Hasbro does know when enough is enough when it comes to making changes, because thankfully Equestria Girls is only a spinoff movie and will not affect the show.

Posted 12 September 2013 - 11:33 PM
just watching the bronies react video to EqG (and laughing my ass off), when I had a thought:
one thing that seems to tick a lot of people off is how the ponies all have odd skincolours, but have you considered what would've happened if they didn't?
the artists would have to choose a skin colour, or "race" for every pony, and no matter what, someone's somehow going to be/get offended.
I've seen a lot of interesting artwork featuring humanised ponies, and every single damn time an artist decides to make somepony anything but caucasian it causes an avalanche of comments like:
"why is X (insert race/colour)?"
"X isn't (insert race/colour), she should be (insert other race/colour)! you ruined it!"
"you shouldn't draw x as (insert race/colour)! that's racist!"
to name but a few . . .
by using all the ponies' original colours, they circumvent this problem entirely, with the additional benefit that the ponies don't only appeal to little caucasian girls, but that everyone can relate to them, regardless of such trivial and annoying little details as "skincolour" and "nationality".
(on a somewhat related note, this is also why the LEGO company gave it's minifigures bright yellow skin, and why I still prefer those to the newer skin coloured ones included in sets based on movies)
my apologies if someone made this point before, in which case I agree with whomever made it.
#654
Posted 13 September 2013 - 06:32 AM
*snip*
Fun thing is, it doesn't only apply if they're anything but caucasian, since I've also seen people comment simmilary (thinking it "racist" or anything of the sort) if the humanisations are caucasian, so it's litterally impossible to please everyone in that regard.
But you hit it dead on.
Still amazes me people are causing such a stink about it when it's actually the smartest move Hasbro could've done for the movie, and they're as a matter of fact far from the only company using "unatural" skincolors for something :/

You don't say.
Here's my overall sum-up of EQG and MLP. They are both long commercialized products designed to brainwash humanity into buying their brandline toys and other similar products. This is how Bronies are made, they are brainwashed by googly pony eyes. I, as a rule, don't like many bronies, entitlement leads to institutionalistic views. I hate institutions as many of you may have already twigged. So, many Bronies are bad, the show and the movie brainwashes them, and they're all just big commercials to pitch their products.
It's still a very enjoyable show, and the film, I must admit. But I like to look in from the outside, not be broken by the crazy games these big corporations play.
