![]() So apparently their frame of reference for this opening was… I don’t know, Justice League Crisis on Two Earths? The Chipmunk Adventure? I ask this because the opening shows us that each one of the Mane 6 has a double from Twilight’s school that I guess will be their evil counterparts because their all glaring at each other and practically shaking their fists. Twilight Sparkle: ACTION SCIENTIST! Anyway, she heads back to her private school which is SO RICH that it can afford to accent all their walls with CRYSTALS!! Wait are crystals and gems as plentiful in this world as they are in Equestria? Is it a safe alternative to asbestos for fireproofing the school? Well when she gets back there, she runs straight to her conspiracy theory room (because all schools have a conspiracy theory room) which leads us straight into the opening credits. Her investigation now seems to include waving scientific doodads at statues and also getting chased by for looking suspicious. Who is this mysterious snoop carrying around a science doohickey and why does it look like a P.K.E meter!? Well I’m not sure about the latter, but the answer to the former is that this is the Twilight Sparkle of this universe who you’d know has been researching the strange phenomena happening at this school if you had sat through the credits of Rainbow Rocks. Sunset chases off the creeper in a hoody and sunglasses that’s getting WAY too close to the portal, but doesn’t manage to find out who they are because they hop on a bus. Oh well, at least there’s absolutely NOTHING strange going on at this school for once and everyone can… wait who’s that? First a trio of sirens and now the Unabomber!?!? Well, to SOME people that would be an emergency (mainly Rainbow Dash). Oh no wait, Rainbow Dash just needs a new guitar string. The movie begins with everyone running frantically to school to face whatever new threat has befallen them this time. Will they be able to knock it out the park again with this movie, or have they gone as far as they can with this secondary series? Let’s find out!! Now they’re back with the third movie which looks to go even more in depth with the parallel universe gimmick by making the Twilight Spark of this universe the focus of this outing. Neither of the previous films were perfect, but they managed to be a lot of fun and at brought a bit of variety to the franchise which is more than I think anyone was expecting. Somehow though, despite all that was working against them, the team that made colorful horses into a cross generational smash hit managed to make Equestria Girls into a quality and meaningful extension of the series. If you think about it, this is the same crazy idea that led to awful movies like Highlander 2: The Quickening, Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time, and Masters of the Universe. For the third year in a row, the mad geniuses behind Friendship is Magic has brought us a movie based on what might be one of the dumbest and cynical ideas that you could come up with for a spinoff of a fantasy series.
