- It's Finally Here!
Today on the Stardust42 channel we're looking back at Equestria Girls, Friendship Games, the third movie in the series. There was a lot of hype for this movie back in the day, but the general consensus after release was always that it wasn't that good, and didn't live up to expectations. Today I want to challenge that idea! This movie has a lot more going for it than many thought at first.
Life is a lot more busy for me nowadays, but I'm gonna try to put more focus on this channel and getting videos out sooner. I have a lot planned so stay tuned!
Happy Trans day of Remembrance💙💖🤍💖💙

this was always my favorite equestria girls movie as a kid, i never got why everyone hated it.
same
Becuase that is a Big thing they have over there Stupid Hate i even love this Spin-off to cuz i like Human Versions of them a lot
It was also my favorite! And I never knew that people hated it. I thought all equestria girls part 1,2, and 3 were the best. I don't really like Equestria girls shorts episodes.
@@Avatarlifeplays really? I think it is Good
@@Selena223 Yeah, I don't really like twi-sci, I prefer the older twilight from Equestria. Everyone has their own preferences :)
[Trivia]: In the background of Sci!Twi's "lab" at Crystal Prep there is a calendar showing her birthday.
-> She is (now) 17, Sagitarious & it is (still) the year 2013.
This is why she HAD to be bad at archery.
Sagita means "arrow" in greek, with the mithological character of the constelation being archer/rogue centaur who stealed things from the gods like Prometheus (Sunset Shimmer), but eas never punished.
Wow, good catch. I never actually took my time to pause the calendar and take a look.
11:50 fun fact about this scene: Not only is Twilight's answer actually correct, but the problem on the board is actually incredibly difficult, and the proof is accurate too!
Wow I never knew that!
@@Stardust_42 If you have the good-at-maths autism I recommend trying it, it's fun! (it took me over an hour to solve)
I shared it with some non-brony friends and only afterwards revealed that the problem comes from MLP hehe
I did the math one time but I didn’t check it compared to everyone’s answer. Good to know
as a kid I loved Equestria girls it deserves more recognition in some cases, the songs were SO good!!
The songs are AMAZING it’s actually crazy

On the bit about Pinkie knowing Sci-Twi already, it's more likely that they met at one point, and Twi just forgot, either because of how far back it was, or because she just doesn't remember every person she meets. Then again, who could FORGET Pinkie? Nah, definitely a spy.
3:34 I hc that CHS is a school that offers grades 7-12. In my town, there's a high school here that offers grades 7-12. So instead of attending the middle school you can go from elementary school (the one in that area went to 6th grade) to high school. Its not a very popular option but there's still a good chunk of students who did that. If this was the way CHS opperates, then students at CHS would have seen atleast one lost against Crystal Prep and heard from their upperclassmen about previous ones. I also like to think that Cutie Mark Crusaders (+Diamond Tiara, Snips, Snails, Sliver Spoon, etc) are eigth graders just because they seem so young. [Or they're just freshmen bc they tend to always look like babies lol]
Sorry for the ramble. I'll see you next time for Legend of Everfree :)
This was the last MLP content I saw with my sister. She dropped off from the series after this but it was because of losing interest. She didn't even see the season 5 finale of Friendship is Magic.
:( she’s missing out smh
I just wanna say that I have never cared about Equestria Girls, but I LOVE watching your Equestria Girls videos just for the humor and editing, it's unfair how funny you are, it's like watching a YTP with occasional moments of actually smart and interesting commentary and I'm living for it -- You are genuinely one of my fav youtubers sjhkha
Omg thanks so much! I rly appreciate it 😊
Something I really like about this movie is the introduction of techno music in the score, and you can hear it whenever Sci-Twi is on screen. It's not something you usually hear in MLP media and I love it when characters have their own unique instruments that are linked to them.
18:22 The Phineas and Ferb reference just makes the video that much better!
This is my fav eg movie I think it’s so UNDERRATED
Underrated is literally the perfect word for this movie!
@@Stardust_42 frfr
These videos are my favourite! :D I love Sunset Shimmer so much too, her and Twilight’s transformations in this movie gave me CHILLS as a kid!
I think you’re the best person to make these, your sense of humour is wonderful lol
Thank you sm!!😊
EQG: Friendship Games is another one of my favorites of the 4 main EQG films! And Just like you Stardust I too thought it sucks that they cut the duet version of "More That's Out There" from the movie, The song with just Sci-Twi may not be as good but the duet version is definitely a banger in my opinion!
And I must admit that out of all the events in the Friendship Games, The one that bugged me was the archery round. Because irl talk, I know some schools do archery but I don't really see why since bows and arrows are usually considered weapons and as we all know most schools don't allow weapons of any kind to be within 100 yards or any distance of school grounds. So yeah I'm surprised that they permited archery to be part of the FG's.
I'm also glad that they didn't use the deleted ending for this movie, The one with Sci-Twi going back to Crystal Prep instead of transfering to CHS. Because since she is the human version of Twilight it made a lot more sense for Sci-Twi to transfer to CHS so she could learn more about the magic of friendship!
18:41 I forget the exact title of the special but they have a fair amount of interaction in the movie / special Spring Breakdown !!
You mean 18:41? And yup! Spring breakdown is one of my favorite eqg specials because we get a lot of dimension hoping, I might make a video about in the future but we’ll see 👀
@@Stardust_42 Oops, yeah I did mean that 😭😭 Looking forward to it! Or really any video idea you have tbh. You always find a way to make anything entertaining !! :)
this is a decent equestria girls movie, but i am quite dissatisfied with sci twi not facing any consequences. i know she was peer-pressured, but she still put everyone’s lives in danger
Cinch put everyone’s lives in danger by using her power over Twilight to get her to release the magic.
Twilight was a victim of Cinch’s abuse, and thus doesn’t deserve to be treated like a villain. Peer pressured isn’t the right word, she was manipulated.
Once the magic overtook her it was clear she wasn’t herself and showed immediate remorse and regret, punishing her wouldn’t help.
Sunset needed to be punished because she choose to abandon Celestia’s teachings and chose to be cruel to get her way, Twilight was blackmailed.
That’s my thoughts anyway
Perhaps you're misunderstanding the entire scene- she was MANIPULATED.
With the girls talking about the crystal prep and that the games happen every 4 years was never a question to me because I thought they were in 5th year of high school (in my country we have 13 years of school, so I always thought they were around 18/19 years old in the movies and series..)
i last watched equestria girls was 2020. i love to see how weve matured to see the movie is good for what it is :)
(unrelated but your voice sounds amazing ❤ I came to this video from one you made 3 years ago and I love your progress)
"hey friend i think you know the deal by now" WAAAAH I FORGOR I JUST REMEMBER YOU MADE THE MOVIE BUT WITHOUT THE STUPID GUY 😭😭😭
I see my legacy has been secured 😎
Okay but the scrapped “More That’s Out There” literally brought me to tears years after I had watched the movie. It’s so good, I understand why it wasn’t included but it gives so much more character depth to Sunset’s relationship to Twilight if you consider it an unmentioned character motivation for Sunset throughout the movie.
Ah 2015. Wish we could go back then.
I’ve been waiting for THIS!!! 😭🙌🏾
I’ve been procrastinating on this!!! 🫠🙌
4:56 i have no idea who the girl rainbow dash is singing with is, but i have decided that her and dash are now my rarepair ship
literally my fav movie out of them all, i literally have seen it 800 times and ive seen it like 7 times in one day 😭😭
My favorite Equestria Girls movie. The OST slaps though
wait, does that mean when the portal to the night sky opens, it was during the loop where Nightmare Moon was in control of Equestria?
That’s what I’m thinking 🧐
YAY stardust uploaded! wahooooooooooooooooo1
Was wondering when this would come out! Awesome job! Also fully agreed about ACADECA and Unleash The Magic!
16:59 I always thought that it was smoke from burning, this is the first time I’m noticing this…
I waited months for this😭
This is my top favorite EG movie, all of the characters are so silly and I love them
Also the spike smash edit should not have made me laugh as much as it did
9:30 She would know Sci-Twi, but at that band rehearsal it was the Pinkie from Equestria, so she just had to guess
It’s one of the best in my opinion.
i love ur eqg videos :3
Thanks so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying them :)
For me it is
It’s the best of the 4 in my opinion :>
Your commentary is genuinely great
1:25 nah bc this was so funny i actually laughed out loud which i rarely do when watching yt 😭
This is my favorite eqg movie tbh i loved it as a kid & i love it even more
8:37 I still like Flash Sentry man
I honestly think he’s just fine
@@cureidolsmile9820He’s more than Fine! He’s Great and He’s voice by Vincent Tong who voices Kai in Lego Ninjago!
STARDUSTPOSTING LETS GO
the little stardust expression edits are everything
My one first comment after watching this full movie in my adult years after so long because I couldn’t find it was: How in the name of fuck did they manage to make twilight MORE autistic than she already is😭
(Non derogatory im autistic too I promise this was my FIRST notice.)
(Also can we appreciate the character designs omg sunsets outfit is so cool and the vibrancy on the games outfits compared to Crystal preps so so awesome.)
Random thing, I like your voice ^^ Also your takes on mlp content are hilarious, I’ve been binging your videos for a few months and honestly you’re probably one of my favorite creators who make this kind of content.
this is my fav eg movies, it just… slaps
i haven' t fully watched the video but fax
16:20 have you heard it with the backing track edited to be a little louder (not bass boosted but like just a little louder) here on TH-cam? Makes you appreciate it more.
Yoooooo frienship games
15:08 it was a portal to australia
I really like friendship games I like the whole plot of the movie
For 5 minutes straight, I laughed at the amber alert joke, idk what that says about me
6:57 ok now I want to hear the bata song whattt it’s called is it on yt???
:0 trans pony girl
That’s me!! 😎😎
Omg trans ponies unite
@@faenene yeee
Glad to see someone else getting annoyed at the whole 4 years thing. It makes no sense, and only is there to explain why Sunset didn’t compete in them. I feel like they could have said she purposely lied to get out of it or something
How did this came out the same year as the Secret Wars 2015 comic run? What kind of "Shrek 2-Shark Tale double-feature" shit is this!? -Schaffrillas when talking about Always (1989) in his Steven Speilberg ranking #schaffrillasalwaysstevenspeilberg
Where do i find more behind the scenes stuff about eqg?
Look up “Friendship games all deleted scenes” on TH-cam. I’d post a link but TH-cam doesn’t like that
I feel bad for twilight sparkle
Always 1 in 10 TH-camrs I make contact with.
Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Nop, but have good parts
Like...Human Rainbow Dash! Bro think she a beta-hybrid of Vannelloppe Von Sweetz and The Loud House's Luna and Boboiboy LMAO #constitutionaldemocracywreckitralph
3:55 Stop
Shipping them? Never.
@@Stardust_42Rainbow Dash is with My OC and He’s a lot cooler!
i'll say something
they're grade 11
rawr🥺👉👈 *Scares the shit out of you*
This is my second favorite EQG movie/special. Unleash the Magic is so good, but I like the demo version a bit more "Free the Magic" and it's criminal that the duet song was cut. Why must the world be the way that it is.
"Promosm"
1:52 No
They are gay you can’t stop it
@@Stardust_42Flashlight will last Forever!
No. All the Equestria Girls movies are garbage and embarrassing. It’s pretty simple.
Is your brain smooth
HATER ALERT‼️‼️‼️
