      It tells a lot about THE WORLD C.H.S. operates (more specifically, the county/province of Crystal City that Canterlot Town also belongs); as it seems there is a unified Education Council [referenced by Abacus Cinch in Friendship Games] that operates above the goverment/police/military [similar to how their equivalent in Equestria can overrule Princess Celestia].
      . Since Sci!Twi could move from Crystal Prep to C.H.S. without any probkems, it is implied that Princess Twilight simply took her place (choosing were to take classes between the two institutions freely).
      -> There may be an investigation at the end of the year if both Principal Celestia & Cinch presented academic results for the last semester with duplicate students (assuming a bureocratic error or identity mistake, rather than an extraplanar invasion by dopplegangers).

      They tend to use a green-ish magic to represent "evil" characters (Chrysalis, Sunset Shimmer, general Dark Magic, Inspiration Manifestation, Starlight Glimmer, Dazzlings, etc.) so that's probably why they changed it. I feel like most Unicorn's magic color matches their eyes, though, so that's probably why she had that color of magic to begin with. Shining Armor is one of the few noticeable exceptions having a different magic color than eye color, and it's clear they only gave him purple magic to match Twilight's, which seems unnecessary in hindsight. Also Starlight's magic matches her hair instead of eyes, but I suspect they originally incorporated green into her design to go along with the "evil green" magic thing; though it's more like a turquoise.

    • @bunnivyx
      @bunnivyx ปีที่แล้ว +116

      It’s because most unicorn magic either matches the eyes or the cutie-mark. The color of Sunset’s magic just switched from her eye color to her cutie-mark color for whatever reason. I personally prefer her magic being the same as her eye color since it pops more but I guess it’s to cause less confusion between her and starlight glimmer since they meet later on???

    Also not sure if someone mentioned this, but it's implied that twilight is an adult. The equestria girls and students are high schoolers. Twilight essentially fell for a teenage boy in the human universe😭. This is exactly why they should've set it in a combined high school and college so that way they could still have the crusaders in the same building, and the main characters don't have to be teenagers.

    • @starstruck8862

      I think that maybe it would slide if the school and it's facilities were available for public use after school, so maybe it would work if the movie's events occured during the after school hours. Maybe while twilight waits for the school day to end on the first day, she ventures off and meets a new friend who goes to cantorlot high and instead of twilight being fall-formal queen, this new friend is the candidate instead.
      I assumed that was the case intially, but afterwards I was proven wrong

    I have a theory about the Equestria Girls world. The events were supposed to be a mirror image of My Little Pony, with Twilight transferring to Equestria High as a honor student or something. However, due to Sunset Shimmer infiltrating the human world, the timeline got messed up. This is why Twilight doesn't appear until the last few movies. Of course, not everyone has to agree with my theory.

      I believe this is actually kind of canon considering the fact in the first movie it was addressed that sunset tore apart the friend group before twilight came. Sunset knew the power of the mane 6 and tore them apart in the human world so they wont end up ruining her plans.

    Personally, I adore equestria girls. I cant pinpoint exactly why, it looks like smthing I'd hate but watching all the shorts just kept me laughing forever and the movies are some of my favourite movies of all time ( they don't have much competition ). The music's also insane at times. In fact for the last few days, my head has been nothing but shake your tail.
    Equestria girls has a whole host of issues and if people don't like or or don't consider it canon, that's fair and they're opinion, but I'll continue enjoying it
    Also sunset shimmer appears in the background of the final episode of FIM while twilight is singing, pretty sure that suggests canonicity

    When I think back to the main series, ponies don't always stick with ponified terms like mare and filly. They ocasionally called each other girls or ladies. That kinda makes Equestria 'Girls' ambiguous'. It didn't even need to be humans and still keep the title.
    "Oh 'girls', can't you see? When I was a little filly and the sun was going down"
    "You 'girls' are the apple of my eye"

    On a side note, Season 3 was special as it marked the "end" of the original conception of the show with Twilight fullfilling destiny. You could quite literally follow it up with the last problem and nothing major would change (To be more specific, the show probably would have been around 5 seasons with all of the characters fullfiling their destiny in a more fleshed out way, but creative differences with Lauren Faust meant that she was not able to do that, and so the left over team had to rush her vision out the door to make way for the "new normal" of pony.). On a corporate level, S4-9 and EQG were the "post 65 episode intital broadcast package" run of the show, and was quite literally designed to be ran into the ground at that point. It was completely divorced from the original conception of the show, and only made strides to develope the characters and lore out of obligation to the type of cartoon it was designed to be originally. They would have cancelled it much sooner if the money train had dried up. We are godamn lucky with how much we got.
    Any time you here Lauren, or another creator complement these continuations, its basically "I would NEVER have done that, and feel sick having to see it, but I have solidarity with my fellow creatives and am not going to trash talk what they had to make. Also I have a gag order and legally cannot talk trash about it."

    Theory for the age problem:
    So basically Canterlot high is a junior and senior high school combined, grades 7-12 (this is common in parts of Canada), snips and snails are in grade 8 during the movie and were in grade 7 last year so they could still be around to help sunset, but you might be thinking what about Cloudsdale junior high well I’m thinking maybe RD and Fluttershy used to live in Cloudsdale when they were in junior high but they moved to Canterlot kind of like in the pony world they moved to ponyville
    This still doesn’t answer why any of them are in high school when their pony equivalents are young adults though…

    As an American high schooler, I can *(probably)* comment on your high school assumptions.
    1) While lots of kids can be clique-y, we don't really sit in super confined spots. We roam around the school or sit with groups of friends. (Hell, I haven't sat in an actual cafeteria since 5th grade.)
    2) Many people, myself included, do not spend lunch in one spot. It's not uncommon for people to wander to the library or gym.
    3) Classes are about 2 hours while lunch is 40 minutes.
    4) Librarians may be able to substitute, but I don't know that any in my particular school/city do.
    5) Our library is open as long as staff is there I'm pretty sure, I know that it's open for hours after school ends and maybe a little later than when clubs or activities end. Though, I doubt it's open until the night...
    6) There are morning periods before school starts as well as a short break early in the day, Rainbow Dash could have very well been playing soccer during one of those times.
    7) You're right about the whole prom being on Saturday thing! Our homecoming dance and winter formal were on Saturdays as well, and Seniors who went in Junior year know that prom is on a Saturday.
    8) Schools are open until 4:30-ish for parents and students to enter, and schools usually end at 3:30. In this time, there are clubs, activities, and the library is open.
    9) There is supposed to be a fall formal prince if there is a princess... but I don't think there's a fall formal prince *or* princess at all. At least, not here. Homecoming and prom have kings and queens, and HOCO has a prince and princess as well.
    10) Students help set up events and make decorations a lot of the time, so that fake crown could be something some students made.
    11) Students may bring either students from other schools, students from their own shool, or somebody who isn't even in school as a "date" to HOCO or prom. Twilight may have been nominated by students that way, and simply had one of her friends take her as a "date."
    Overall, the only truly abnormal thing I see in this high school is that we never see them in class. /)!bro hoof!(\

    On the topic of those animated shorts that take place during the first movie but were released years after, everything is a bit off because they were animated by Boulder Media instead of DHX Vancouver like nearly everything else G4-related. Boulder went on to do the Rainbow Roadtrip special, the Pony Life series and the A New Generation film as well. I'm sure they were using the same puppets and tools as DHX were for the shorts, but their process being different is going to be noticeable in the end product I imagine. Or maybe they did use a different animation program. I'm not too sure; the lighting is noticeably different in their shorts, though.
    Edit: Also, I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic or not, but the joke at 54:30 actually does work pretty well since saying "it was nothing" is a common response to being thanked. The joke being it has two meanings in that instance. It's not really explaining the joke, it's expanding on it. Apologies if you already knew that and your joke was just going over my head or something.

    Schools can be very different in other countries, like high school, middle school, and elementary school are all in the same building, yearbooks aren't a thing, teachers have jobs in many places at a time, etc. So it's not like it's that crucial that EqG got some stuff that way. That is weird however if EqG world is a replica of someplace in the US and is supposed to be that way, but we don't know for sure.

    43:40 Vice Principal Luna took the Crown out of the school (likely to her house, but possibly somewhere else).
    |
    . Sunset Shimmer can FEEL magic [this is a Psychic Ability, like Pinkie's Premonition or Fluttershy's Stare]; this is how she could locate Twilight's Room in the Crystal Castle & knew the crown was taken out of the school building & moving fast (by car).
    -> Even if she knew it was Luna, following her & stealing it again would be too risky.
    Sunset's extrasensorial perception confirmed that Luna brought the crown at Friday Night AFTER everyone voted for the Princess of the Fall Formal (the vote is done the same day when school classes are over).
    -> Her backup plan was to use that sledge hammer to break by force Celestia & Luna's home (while they were in the event) AFTER sensing the magic of the crown there [hoping she could deal with the Police/Military later using magic, or escaping to Equestria].

The mane 5 also had the same body types as the CMC in their freshman year, which could be 2-3 years ago, if they’re seniors or at least juniors because of the last day of school short. Also who knows if Pinkie and Fluttershy are in the same grade in EG. Assuming they age like the ponies, Fluttershy should be a year above Pinkie since, “I’m a year older than you”

    Just a shot in the Dark but my theory would be that he Crystal Mirror was made by the same Pony/Creature that created the Crystal Heart. First hint its kinda in the name both sharing the word 'Crystal'. Second the mirror has several crystals/gemstones around the frame of the glass suggesting that they could be the mirrors power source. I think it came was made in the Crystal empire in the days long before Sombra's original invasion and control of the Empire. Then when Luna and Celestia defeated Sombra and the Empire disappeared, its possible that the Mirror was amongst some objects that could have been raided and taken back to Canterlot. When it was given to Cadence it essentially was being returned home.

    • @dw_2005
      @dw_2005 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I think that the Architect of the Mirror (and by extension the crystal heart) was likely a Unicorn who studied the abilities of the crystals in the early days of the empire and found a way to harness their magic (potential name for this unicorn 'The Crystal Architect'). And for a theory on how the mirror actually works it could that the unicorn discovered a specific configuration of the crystals placed around a piece of glass forged from the crystals, every 30 moons would create a gateway to another dimension (why 30 moons? it could be to do with the moonlight being different from a normal moon moon phase. E.g. the Colour of Moon Light changes with a Solar Eclipse? a specific kind of moonlight may only occur every 30 moons). As for why the mirror showed Sunset's desire to be powerful in the reflection, maybe its that the crystals have some low level psychic abilites that can translate one's thoughts to be reflected in the mirror. (i know its still a stretch, sounds very Harry Potter. However there are many old theories about crystals enhancing individual psychic abilites). So Idk this may sound like a silly theory but let me know what you think.

    I know that nothing about this movie makes sense, but what still bugs me the most is Sunset's evil plan. Like. She barely controls that magic and expects to take over Equestria??? There are FOUR powerful and experienced princesses (counting with Twilight, the owner of the crown) that can easily beat her and her silly zombie arm, and even if she could defeat the princesses, she had no clue who Discord was and that he was now by the Mane Six's side, he could turn Sunset into a burned chicken with a single snap of fingers. Like. It really doesn't make sense for someone who was supposed to be a smart manipulator.

    This is a really good video! I found a new channel to subscribe to today :)
    A couple of counterpoints:
    - Tbh it makes sense that she tried to wear the crown when the other ponies weren’t there for it, though I really don’t know why she didn’t tuck it into her bag 😂 would have solved all our problems, huh. She also wasn’t expecting a thief to run in and take it, so fair game? 3:59
    - I’m pretty sure the bag was for Twilight to put the crown in when she retrieved it, cuz lord knows we can’t lose that thing again. 8:20
    - Yes, the scene with Fluttershy and Sunset Shimmer is ‘convenient’ in a sense, but I mean so is life. It was pretty convenient that Sunset knew of that one mirror, or that she was Celestia’s student Without convenience the plot wouldn’t go forward, so I wouldn’t criticize the scene too much 11:32
    - She doubts it is Fluttershy because she believes the pony version of Fluttershy that would normally turn into a human is still back in Equestria. She recognized the crusaders but didn’t connect that they were the actual ones since she didn’t know their names. This is Twilight’s first encounter with someone from Equestria existing independently in this new world, so she’s a little confused. 11:59
    - Seeing Sunset come out of a mirror would be very Harry Potter running through the wall-esque, if people see it they think it’s a trick of the eye since normally people aren’t paying much attention to the statue. Also, I doubt Sunset uses the portal that much since she runs the risk of getting caught by Celestia each time. 12:59
    - I don’t think Sunset was threatening to kill Spike 😂 she was probably going to just initiate the “no pets allowed” rule by snitching 22:33
    - I’m guessing pony age and human age is different, and the portal translates a pony’s mental age to the equivalent human age, which is why I assumed Twilight was senior age. Also, for free periods you can plan it out to align but more likely they got a pass from their teacher if it is during class 25:14
    - Yearbooks are slightly different than just photos, they have words with information explaining the events taking place which might be what Twilight references 28:42
    - If Spike was sleeping I doubt he would know what she was working on 29:45
    - Rarity wouldn’t miss a chance to work her design magic, and I think this is characterization for her later transformation 30:15
    - It might be a private unlisted video that all the students got the link to, though Sunset might be malicious enough to humiliate her on a world level lol 31:17
    - She probably just recognized the miscommunication and didn’t want to interrupt confusion with more confusion. 32:15
    - Fades do not just a scene change indicate (it can be a time skip) 33:22
    - Technically Sunset isn’t shown to know this, and if she did perhaps upsetting the balance of Equestria is what she wanted to rule it? 48:27
    - She probably meant last season, since she only specifies that someone challenged her, and Fluttershy mentioned the Spring Fling 1:13:27

    Babs seed - in the comic as you touched upon, very odd choice aging her up
    Cheerilee - is she mane-6 aged in FIM? maybe but in EQG she's put among Cranky doodle/Harshwhinny as "older teacher" type characters
    Photo Finish - No way is she a teenager as a pony she's clearly a grown mare/woman with a career right?? but in EQG is a student
    Diamond Dogs - I like how they're included in EQG but it is weird, how old would anyone guess they are in FIM as dogs?
    Bulk Biceps - This guy is clearly a full grown pegasus stallion possibly on steriods in FIM, no way should he be a student and even dating Derpy in some shorts

    To answer your question on why the characters are randomly switching positions at like 10:20, its so instead of having to make completely new characters and new models, they can just copy and paste the models here and there to make crowds and shorten the animation process.

    However,i still adore it despite its flaws. In certain aspects, Equestria Girls is much better than Friendship Is Magic,like in terms of music,or redemption arcs ( just conpare Sunset Shimmer's redemption arc to Starlight Glimmer's and you will see what I'm talking about). I'm really fond of the characters, the stories are pretty fun,even though they're pretty.... Mediocre compared to FIM,and the Dazzlings' transformation sequence has been ingrained into my head.
    It's incredibly revolting that Equestria Girls didn't get a finale. I thought it would have something for it's 10th anniversary,but no. Absolutely exasperating.

    I think Twilight's Canterlot friends were just taller ponies. Or they were actually older than Twilight, but it's not visible in their adult design because every pony between the age of 20 and 60 have the same body shape. Twilight's mom also has the same body shape as Twilight

    3:40 why is Celestia giving any orders at all this KINGDOM is not hers it's Princess Cadance's Kingdom - Celestia and Luna are visiting royalty there.
    also Twi-light was "naked" as a pony - yet arrived with clothing?

      [JUST FRIENDS]
      . While their pony versions DID ended up canonically living together in Sweet Apple Acres (with their voice actress confirming their marriage); their human counterparts loved other people.
      . ( Human) Applejack was dating Rarity on the EQG special "Rollercoaster of Friendship".
      . (Human) Rainbow Dash reminded herself (out loud, explicitly) why she loves Fluttershy in the last EQG special.
      -> It is implied that this romantic relationships ended at some point, while still remaining friends.

    Honestly? I don't think there had to be a strong motive behind that particular action.
    This may be EQG Rarity, but it's still Rarity, the element of generosity. When a stranger is facing school-wide bullying, I find her aid entirely plausible for her character.

    Nah but how did sunset know whete twilies room is and why did she decide to steal the crown of all things? Like i get it its the element of magic but she left before the elements were rediscovered like what newspaper is she reading to keep up with equestria's events😭
    Oop mbm commented too early lol
    Edit: the comics do tell us that starswirl made the mirror and even made more and celestia went through one of those mirrors several times (not this one tho)
    Not to mention the sirens were sealed in the hunan world by i think starswirl? So it makes sense that they had the info
    The elements of harmony's importance got retconned with them later being destroyed lol
    Aj and rarity(from what i remember) seemed to be on good terms at the point in the movie where aj tells twilie she knows her so perhaps she heard it from rarity? Im not sure i forgot
    And whyd sunset split them up anyway

    25:25 Okay, so in my school, we had a short study hall period and it was at the same time for everyone. Basically, if you were passing all your classes, you'd be in a random study hall (where the teachers would pretty much let you do anything you wanted, including being on your phone), unless you were failing a class (then you'd be placed in tutoring). A ton of kids would skip, so maybe that's happening here? Or maybe there all skipping regular class...

    wouldn't have any kind of depth, idk man, it's

    The way I can explain the makeup segment with Rarity and Apple Jack is that not every type of makeup look is going to suit your face and people have different preferences, some may make you look like a drag queen while some are intended to make you look like you have no makeup on so it does make sense to me kinda, maybe rarity was doing those 2016 Instagram model looks when Apple Jack wanted no makeup makeup lol

    Are the palace guards so expendable that assaulting them is not considered villainous?

    This video was hilarious and brought me joy. As much as I love Equestria Girls and stan Sunset Shimmer, it is painfully full of plot holes. Buuuut, I have to say. . .man gripes about animation errors and tiny details for a good half of this video and not once did he bring up that Twilight's hair streak changes sides randomly (pretty sure it does this in the show proper too, but her horn makes it less obvious). This has been something I've noticed since childhood and that will never stop bothering me.
    Also, theories (just the big stuff):
    It's a K-12 school, and Snips and Snails are older than the CMC (I think they are in the main show too).
    Time runs desynced in Equestria, the human world, and the portal, and have no relation to each other. Sometimes it's running the same, sometimes it isn't. Time is basically happening at the same rate when the portal is open, but that doesn't mean the two worlds are working from the same start point. When Twilight permanently activates the portal, she also syncs the timeline. The portal is also it's own dimension, and sometimes screwy stuff happens when it tries to connect something between the two disparate timelines, which is why the crown comes out in the morning and smacks Fluttershy in the head well before Sunset can catch up to her.
    Sunset Shimmer gets most of her information from Pinkie Pie. It's been subtly hinted and also shown in the (technically non-canon) bloopers that human and pony Pinkie regularly switch places and don't tell anyone just for the heck of it. Pinkie also seems to be on pretty good terms with Sunset in the human world mostly out of obliviousness, so it wouldn't be out of place for her to just let something slip.
    Celestia moved the mirror out of guilt. She had Cadence watch over it because after the events of the changeling invasion where she literally couldn't recognize an imposter Cadence, she decided she maybe wasn't the best person to be comforting a distraught Sunset if she decided to come back. Also, she was suspicious about the swapping Pinkie Pies and hoped it might deter her. Silly Celestia, location is no match for strange Pinkie powers.
    When Celestia said all the mane 6 going through would "upset the balance of this alternate world," she didn't mean it would rip the fabric of reality apart, she meant that they would have one doozy of a time trying to explain why five doubles of people that already exist with suspiciously non-human behavior patterns had just showed up and they would probably not be able to explain it in time to get back through the portal before it closed again.
    Human Celestia and Luna straight up don't care about their jobs. The fact that they are principals is a random coincidence, and they wouldn't be princesses if they crossed worlds because they didn't earn princesshood. In this world, they're two sisters who got masters degrees with dreams of changing children's education and ended up in a dead-end administrative job that they hate and have become jaded and embittered after remembering that children are cruel and petty. They put in just enough effort to seem like they care, but they really really don't.

    38:24 One more thing to add: How did Sunset cut out Twilight from the first photo without cutting into the edge AT ALL? It would be borderline impossible to cut out this shape without accidentally tearing off Twilight's skinny leg or something. Cutting off the excess background pieces would make this a lot easier.
    And 49:32 This is actually explained in the novelization. Basically, Rarity was treating a mannequin like a prince and asking him for a kiss. Sunset makes Snips and Snails sneak in, they film it, they post it to TH-cam.
