![]() This time it’s Josh Haber, following his stint writing 4 episodes for the Friendship is Magic television series. Unlike the previous two films, Games has a new writer at the helm. Sunset Shimmer is seen attempting to contact Twilight a couple of times in Equestria, but her inquiries go un-answered, leaving her more frustrated as she attempts to solve the ‘pony up’ mystery on her own. The film is also the first one that shuts out pretty much all of the Friendship is Magic connections to the television series, with all of the film’s energy largely focused on just this world. I’m not sure what the deal is with Friendship Games, but even with plenty of previews, and word-of-mouth, it feels like the enthusiasm for the film and its story, has been a little more ‘dulled’ than the previous film. Twilight hopes the time at Canterlot High can also help her learn more about the magic she’s found emanating from the school, but her curiosity soon leads to unexpected side-effects. Being more of an isolated bookworm, Twilight is mainly entered into the games, at the behest of Crystal Prep’s Principal, Abacus Cinch. ![]() It occurs every 4 years, and since the beginning of the games, Crystal Prep has always won.Īs Canterlot prepares, many are surprised when Twilight Sparkle shows up, though this is the human-world’s Twilight, who attends Crystal Prep. The event pits Canterlot High School, against their cross-city rivals, Crystal Prep Academy. Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna ask Sunset Shimmer to investigate why this is happening, with the goal to make sure that these unusual powers are repressed, in time for The Friendship Games. Now, instead of materializing while just playing their musical instruments, the girls seem to have little control over when they ‘pony up.’ Since the events of Rainbow Rocks, Sunset Shimmer, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy, have seen their magical powers grow. That final scene piqued many people’s interests, though in the lead-up to the third (and final?) installment of the Equestria Girls series, one had to wonder if Equestria Girls: Friendship Games, could carry on the momentum from the previous installments, and provide a third film that could stand on its own. But, as some saw at the end of Rocks, there is a Twilight Sparkle in this world…and she is curious about some strange powers emanating from Canterlot High School. The film introduced some catchy new songs by Daniel Ingram, and helped elevate the character of Sunset Shimmer to becoming the Twilight Sparkle of this world. While the first film was given a marginal pass by many based on it’s seemingly simplistic storyline, the vehemency of the MLP fandom seemed to largely die away when its sequel, Rainbow Rocks, took its characters and story to another level. The result was My Little Pony: Equestria Girls. A couple years ago, many fans of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, grew incensed that Hasbro was planning to do an iteration of the show, taking place in a humanized world.
