Most of the doubts she was working through seem to have gone away, and she ends up acting as a mentor figure to Twilight Sparkle, who is still uneasy after the events from the end of Friendship Games. Much like the last few Equestria Girls films, Sunset Shimmer takes the spotlight, as one of the more interesting characters in the story. Some have lyrics that sound incomplete, and one song, sounds like it could be a major character lament…but it’s over before it feels like it even gets the chance to build into something memorable! Ingram’s music is often a treat to many fans, but sad to say, most of the songs sound like they don’t actually fit together properly. When it comes to music, Daniel Ingram returns to pen 6 new songs, but I found this to be the first Equestria Girls film where I couldn’t even think of one that I could easily put on repeat after the film was over. The writers even throw in a few too many camp cliches, with one that just feels totally unneeded to drive the overall story. The two actually have a semi-decent story at hand with Legend of Everfree, but it’s just a pity that it becomes overloaded with subplots. Johanna Lewis and Kristine Songco, who have co-written four episodes of the Friendship is Magic TV series together, take the reins from EqG veterans Meghan McCarthy, and Josh Haber. Unlike the previous Equestria Girls films, Legend brings in a new group of writers to the series. Our ‘mane’ girls have plenty of activities they want to do, but Twilight Sparkle secretly fears that the demoness Midnight Sparkle, is lurking inside her, waiting to resurface.Īs camp gets underway, strange things begin to occur, leading some to believe the happenings to be the work of Gaea Everfree, a forest spirit who is rumored to exist in the surrounding wilderness. The students of Canterlot High find themselves at Camp Everfree for a week, under the supervision of Camp Director Gloriosa Daisy, and her brother, Timber Spruce. After its streaming release on October 1st, I decided to take a peek. This year, Netflix obtained the rights to stream the latest film, Legend of Everfree, a month in advance of its home video release. Though Hasbro is still making toys around the Equestria Girls series, they seem to have settled into a pattern of one movie a year for this property. Surprisingly, the first Equestria Girls film wasn’t as bad as some had imagined!Īfter its sequel Rainbow Rocks managed to improve some story areas (along with having a very catchy soundtrack album!), many were now aboard the train ride, but felt the tracks got bumpy in the last go-round, with the 2015 release of Friendship Games. He belittled Twilight in Rainbow Rocks, which makes sense due to him being under the Dazzlings’ curse, but after the spell was broken, he doesn't apologize to her about that.When it was first launched in 2013, the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls concept was quickly poo-poohed by fans of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, who saw this direct-to-video spinoff as little more than a vehicle for selling toys (why does that sound hypocritical?).His human design is also pretty generic since it contributes to his bland characterization.As he doesn't really appear much on screen, there is hardly any development given to him that allows him to progress as a character outside of a romantic plot device.Twilight showcases interest in smart people, for crying out loud. The way he interacts with Twilight is just so wrong and very out of character for her. He's not even the right match for Twilight, in hindsight.His personality is very bland as he comes off as another generic pretty boy that the lead female protagonist falls for at first sight.He's meant to be the supposed love interest of Princess Twilight Sparkle in My Little Pony: Equestria Girls and My Little Pony: Equestria Girls - Rainbow Rocks, yet he's barely seen much on screen and doesn't really develop much chemistry with Twilight, which makes him come off as less of a character and just as an unnecessary romantic plot device.
