And we come at last to the start of Equestria Girls.... and as a starting point it..... isn't all that great. At the time, the very idea of it was met with a lot of hostility for being a clear marketting driven push to try and compete with Mattel's Monster High franchise and just sucker people into liking it by using already cared about characters, while removing everything that made MLP as a world so great in favor of a generic High School sitcom. Then we got the movie and.... well..... it wasn't as bad as many feared, but it also wasn't really looked on with a lot of praise either. Mostly becuase, well..... the story is an utter mess that most of the time has more hole then plot. There are SO many logical questions about how and why things happen that are never addressed, or brought up only to never be answered.... How did Sunset know Twilight and the mirror would be in the same place that night? How did she know the fake crown looked identical to the real one? Why is Sunset the same age as the rest when she'd be at least a decade older then Twilight? Why didn't Sunset and the crown come out of the portal at the same time? How are there doubles of Celestia and Luna given said doubles should be dead for over a thousand years? How does Sunset seem to know this stuff about the Elements? They never did answer her "You don't know what happens when you bring an element to another world, do you?" question. Why couldn't the other Mane 6 come with Twilight? How the hell is Twilight able to just wander around a school she is not enrolled in, let alone run for Prom Queen and spend the night sleeping in the library with no one asking questions? How stupid is Principal Luna to fall for a literal cut and paste photo edit? In the ending, how the hell did anyone take the threat to smash the portal seriously? It's a PORTAL... that is open! All hitting it with the hammer would do is send the hammer flying through it! How the hell did Sunset plan to 'conquer Equestria" with an army of one high school's worth of mind control teenagers? Especially given the attack is being done through a bottle neck with all the strongest fighters in Equestria right outside it already, that is also sitting right on top of Equestria's second strongest "Make evil go bye bye" weapon.... which unlike the Elements, doesn't go for reform or imprison, it just obliterates you if you mess with it. All on top of Sunset Shimmer just being....the worst villain in the entire series. With the most out of nowhere last minute "Oh wait I'm good now!" reversal. yeah.... this movie is a mess when you apply any logic to it Which... part of that is, as established, Meghan McCarthy is by nature a very "Because the plot says so" writer, but I really can't blame the issues on the staff too much given the BTS stuff was a mess of Hasbro rushing this through production super fast, giving them about a third the time an animate movie of it's length should have. Oh, plus it gave us Flash Sentry who..... eventually people started to feel really bad for Vincent Tong, the characters' VA, becuase he kept getting roles in the show for characters everyone hated.... That said, it did give us some good stuff, Pinkie's "Nervicited" is just, such a perfect term that needs to be used more. The Cafeteria Song is an utter bop, even if the rest of the music is kind of generic pop, tween movie fair. Sunset's design is freaking amazing! Spike's snark game was on point! And while it had a rocky start... well, after season 4 you get to watch Rainbow Rocks, the sequel to this that... well.. there is a reason EQG became as beloved as it did after this rocky start.... Also, this further confrims the truth that all instances of The Pink One are merely the form mortal minds give to a sliver of the consciousness of the great Yog'Pinkoth that has touched their reality! As to the talk about the Mane 6 ages, it's never made hard canon, but general agreement is that they started as late teens, early twenties, somewhere in the 18-22 range. Granny Smith.... we don't know how old she is and centuries line comes from one bit early on that really does bring up ALL the continuity issues. Granny may be over a hundred, but she almost certainly isn't centuries old. Pony life span is roughly analogous to human ones, just with Earth Ponies tending to tough it out to the extreme of that range. As to future EQG stuff, there was a movie after each of the next 3 seasons, often with several associated shorts, then they just decoupled EQG from the FIM schedule and made a whole bunch of random shorts, skits, specials, etc....
