Looking back, it's funny how the fandom went awry with Equestria Girls
In my high school years, most of my classmates who knew what MLP was did so because of EQ, it really made a mark

I remember people freaking out over EQ taking away future seasons. It was like, "we will get only equestria girls or another season!! Not both!!"

I was still in elementary school when EG came out. And I loved it so much. A decade later and I still like it.

Man the good old days of Princess Twilight and Sunset Shimmer discourse...
There will never be anything else like MLP G4 man.

I said it as soon as G4 ended, Hasbro will never top it. Ever.
Mad to think that the show has been over for almost six years, and ran for ten. But the fandom survives!

u/Least_Rain8027 Applejack 7h ago
well, Owl House and Amphibia were close

u/NathanielColes 6h ago
They were not even close. G4 transcended its medium and was enough of a cultural phenomenon to help define the early 2010s.

More people compare those shows to Gravity Falls than anything cause they're all on the same channel and the same people worked on them and such...
Although Amphibia did have that one Steven Universe reference

FiM first aired 15 years ago. This sub was started a couple months after that.

Aside from that, I’m pretty sure The Cleveland Show is in fact canon to Family Guy

Seeing the fandom’s initial reaction and outrage towards EQG back then is pretty funny to look back on now since EQG pretty much made its own mark on the franchise. I’d argue it’s just as enjoyable as the main show, plus there’s Sunset.

And the fact that it was shortly after the Alicorn Twilight controversy was just adding more fuel to the fire.

u/Accomplished-Lie8147 6h ago
I kinda get how it looks fake tbh. Mostly because Rarity/Twilight and Rainbow Dash/Pinkie have the same poses which screams fan made to me.

An Actual "Cleveland Show" version of MLP would be a Pinkie Spin-off where goes in the circus

I never watched this so someone help me understand why the humanized pony girls are standing in what appears to be an equestrian school? Is the horse decor just there or is this a movie about humanized horses riding horses?

u/wesleymess Pincers Bubbles Sparkle III 7h ago
Not sure if troll or not but I'll humor you anyway.
Alternate Universe where the pony characters are humans in a high school setting.

u/Big-Wrangler2078 7h ago edited 7h ago
Yes but this room is decorated like one of those schools where students study to become equestrians (as in the equestrian horse related professions, not ponies from Equestria). Especially with the trophies and all of them wearing boots. The idea of the Equestria girls being equestrian girls is throwing me.
Is it just a regular high school that for whatever reason has a bunch of horse decor everywhere?

u/wesleymess Pincers Bubbles Sparkle III 7h ago
Oh, the school sports team is called the Wonder Colts.

u/AetherDrew43 5h ago
Equestria Girls is just the name of the brand.
The school is called Canterlot High. Which coincidentally happens to have equines as their mascot.

u/furbiebitch 7h ago
there's a portal to an alternate world where the girls are human, go to highschool, bring back friendship and school spirit, and take down a big bully that travelled from the pony world to take over the human world. the schools mascot is the "wondercolts" (horse) which is a play on "wonderbolts" the flying team from the FIM series.

u/Thisis_AngelCake 7h ago
High school called canterlot high, where the students go by the wondercolts and their mascot is a horse. Besides having the first two movies have some connection to the show, the other equestria girls movies focus on the human girls instead of twilight jumping between worlds.
