Yeah, this is pretty awful.

"The only hope to save Equestria from potential destruction is for me to become PROM QUEEN!"

You never know. Season One ended with a similar conceit - the Galloping Gala is basically the pony prom. Yet the writers torpedoed the romantic view that everypony had about Gala Night, and wound up making a really good point about the fleeting vanities of the material world, and about the importance of friendship. It started off Disney, and wound up being the Book of Ecclesiastes.

So who knows? Maybe they'll have a plot twist and Twilight will discover that she doesn't need to date the football player or win the prom crown or get that scholarship to Vassar so she can grow up to be a lawyer and spend her life protecting Hasbro's intellectual property rights from the predations of indie game designers? The writers from MLP are really good at what they do, so I'm keeping my hooves crossed.

I'm just glad that My Little Pony exists or I never would have known that friendship is a good thing, because I missed that day in kindergarten.

Homer is right. This project is handled by the very same people who make the show. Everything will turn out all right.

Hopefull you're right EvilHomer, but as of right now, they really lost me at the point where they made it clear Twilight intended to become prom queen instead of just stealing her own stuff back.

And they will politely shuffle out and then complain about it on message boards for the next hundred years.

See also: Star Wars prequels, Transformers films, Green Lantern movie, and countless other terrible adaptions of franchises which are far more popular with both kids and nerds than ponies will ever be.

We should all be focusing on the real issue here: Why doesn't Applejack just curbstomp that bitch after school and steal the crown? Just going full Ray Smuckles-meets-the-guy-who-invented-Comic-Sans on her ass. Actually, a lot of high school movies would be improved by someone getting their nose broken at the end.

I would actually be OK with Twilight staying. If that's what must be done to resolve Alicorngate, then that's what must be done.

Xeno's right. I doubt there's going to be any drama at all in the theaters. The Internet's gonna be a warzone, and woe be unto any innocent children duckduckgoing Equestria Girls in the days to follow, but nerds are typically pretty safe to be around in public.

Then again, all it takes it one Brony in a Trixie fursuit shooting up a theater to ruin things for the rest of us.

You see a pony lying on its back, cutie mark baking in the hot sun. But you're not helping. Why is that, Leon?

I Have No Stars Yet I Must Scream

I've set up strategic beard snares in the MLP sections of various toy stores to deal with the remainder.

Soon the He-man brony haters alliance will achieve total victory!

I think some designers were playing around with the quasi furry idea, it looks terrible. Thankfully they went with the strange colored human idea. Now it resembles Doug.

Twilight's human form will gradually and hideously degrade into a pony, not unlike Jeff Goldblum in The Fly.

Hideously?
