Thoughts on Rocks... I agree on most of your points. In particular, Sunset Shimmer definitely could become the lead character for EQG, but they do need to portray her as competent and knowledgeable. I was disappointed that the script didn't have her assisting Twilight as Twilight struggled. It would have been a natural thing for that situation. would have built upon the redemption-arc in a believable way without going too in-your-face, and could have set things up for nice little bits like Twi and SS arguing about how to proceed with the spell and coming to respect each other's competence. A real missed opportunity. Gaping plot... okay, -story-... hole. Since the gate can open, and we've seen that Twi can travel to EQG-world in spite of human-Twi being there... and we saw Pinkie stick her head into the portal... it's two-way. SS can return any time the gate is open. So can any of the others. That might be an unforseen result of a knock-off gag (Pinkie sticking her head through), but it's there. More broadly, the biggest worry I have is drift. I am concerned that EQG will have an ever-more-tenuous connection to the MLP world, that the "pony time" on screen will drop away to a token one minute at the start of each show, and that it will ultimately share nothing with the parent series (ever notice how there are no equines in the "Equestrian Girls" world, except for statues? The only ponyfolk are crossover characters). While this may be perfectly okay from Hasbro's overriding goal (sell toys so they can stay in business), I would certainly hate to see it happen, and I don't for a moment believe that it *has* to be that way. Conversely, if you want to see a shitstorm the likes of which hasn't been sighted since "princess Twilight", bringing a human into Equestria would do it. Making it Flash Sentry would escalate it to pitchforks-and-torches. Let's get Mitch to write that one. The wailing and gnashing of teeth would be awesome.

Yes it is way better than the first. While I will still say the first film was OK it still had it's flaws (Mainly that it was rushed). The fact that there are still some plot holes in this doesn't bother me, It depends on how big they are (seriously there will be holes in virtually every story, that's why I think it's important to not look for perfection). I honestly wont be surprised if Princess Celestia purposely gave her that book knowing there is a chance that SS may want to reconnect with someone back in Equestria and seeing that Twilight is the princess of friendship she seemed to be the perfect pony for the job. As for the dazzlings plan....what else is a villain gonna do? And didn't anyone else notice the Marilyn Manson influences in the dazzlings music? That already makes the film 20% cooler and the intro to Welcome To The Show sounds like something from Lacuna Coil. Now that we know the where abouts of Human Twilight I wonder not only what will happen in the third film but maybe the real human SS.

Drift is certainly my biggest concern. The better this franchise performs in terms of sales, the bigger the threat becomes. Although, with a legit pony movie announced, maybe they'll do the sensible thing and keep their distance
