The two fell in love with each other, constantly using the portals to visit one another. but because they were using it so frequently they started to tear apart their dimensions.

Equestria Girls 💖

[@kuro_neko5863]

Thirty moons would presumably be two and a half years or thereabouts, if we assume a moon is a month. Though the issue with using moons as a time measurement in Equestria is the whole reason there are phases of the moon is the moon lags behind the sun by a cumulative fifty or so minutes each day. But in Equestria the Princesses move the sun and the moon, and they make sure they're perfectly in sync, so there would be no phases of the moon, it would always be full. The only other way to use moons as time is as days, but there have been many references to time using moons that wouldn't make any sense if a moon was a day, not the least of which here in EQG. If the mirror activates every thirty days it's no big deal, but every two and a half years is a much bigger problem. Speaking of putting together the naming relationship between Sunset and Twilight, have you happened to put together that it's Twilight that brought Celestia, the sun, and Luna, the moon, together? Regarding the use of 'everypony' and other such ponyisms, it's very interesting how it's used and what that says about their culture. Like Fluttershy has used everypony to refer to a room full of animals, Spike has used it to refer to a group of dragons. But other races have their own version, like the hypogriffs use everygriff. That Spike uses everypony rather than everydragon makes sense because he was raised by ponies. Once Twilight opens her school of friendship up to other races in the last few seasons everyone makes an effort to use more inclusive language. The takeaway I took from all this is that ponies are kinda low key racist. Something I've always liked, not because racism is good obviously, but because pony society is otherwise pretty perfect, so it's nice to see that they have some flaws. It's kinda interesting to dive into how similar and how different the EQG versions of the Mane Six differ from their pony counterparts. The biggest, and in hind sight most obvious, is that the pony versions are all adults (regardless of if they're the same age or not, that's a whole other problem) whereas the EQG girls are still kids. They still live at home with their parents and have at best part time jobs. They haven't really settled on who they want to be. And even though at their core they're the same: Rainbow is still loyal, AJ is still honest, etc, they're also different. One less obvious example is AJ is way less invested in the family farm than her pony counterpart. And Rainbow is afraid of heights! Yes, everyone in the fandom does hate Flash. And irregardless of his character, it's weird that Twilight, who is a pony, would be at all attracted to a human. And even if they're the same age (which is never given), she's an adult in her society and he's a kid in his. And since he doesn't know she's a pony she's doing this under false pretenses. And Twilight has never shown any romantic interest in anyone before or after, does this mean she's only into humans? The writers very clearly did not think this subplot through, probably because it was executive meddling to shoehorn in a romance. It gets even worse since Sunset and Flash used to date, and she's also a pony. I'm not saying romance couldn't blossom across species, but it wouldn't be based on physical attraction. Magical artifacts work in this world as they contain their own magic. As the movies progress magic ends up leaking out of the portal from equestria and filling this world with natural magic of its own. Regarding Sunset's transformation, it's a bit of running thing in MLP that power unearned corrupts. It did it with Trixie when she had the Alicorn amulet, it did it here with Sunset, with human Twilight in Friendship Games, and again with Gloriosa in Legend of Everfree. Notably it doesn't do this with Twilight since she earned the element of magic, and it doesn't do it with the human mane six in Legend of Everfree even though it's the same source that corrupted Gloriosa, because they earned it. I would love to see you reacting to the other EQG movies.

[@hearmeout1767]

Twilight and Flash are both the same age cuz the mirror converted her into a student. If she was older than him it would have converted her into an adult in human world, like Celestia and Luna. Like how my 7 year old rabbit is almost an old guy, and would be converted to an old adult human if he turned into one, rather than a 7 year old child. Also sure it would be false pretenses if they actually dated but all they did was have a few friendly conversations and dance together in a G-rated way before her exposing her pony-ness.

[@kuro_neko5863]

@@hearmeout1767 Just because they're the same age doesn't mean there isn't a significant maturity difference, which was my point. Twilight is considered an adult by pony standards and Flash is considered a child by human standards. Flash is getting scolded by his parents for not doing his chores while Twilight is brokering international peace treaties. It's weird that she'd be attracted to him on a physical level, since they're wildly different species, and just as weird that she'd be attracted to him on a mental level, both because she doesn't actually know him very well and because of the aforementioned sizable maturity difference. Also, I'm not sure spontaneously sprouting wings and pony ears (when several other people he's known for years also do so) is the same as explicitly informing him that she's usually a quadruped.

45:05, I know it's supposed to be a joke, but Matthew actually gets it. Spoilers ahead. For the entirety of the show, after the mane 6 have to give up their elements, the viewers and the mane 6 themselves question if their friendship and magic are weaker without the elements of harmony but they're not, and we can see this mostly in the season 9 premiere. The Mane 6 use their elements without the use of the jewels against King Sombra, but the crazy part is that it was already foreshadowed they could do this in this movie. Twilight may have borrowed back her magic and spread it across the human mane 6 but that was just to transform them into pony hybrids because humans don't have innate magic like their pony counterparts, then they use the exact same rainbow they made WITH the elements of harmony that was used on Nightmare moon on Sunset Shimmer WITHOUT the elements of harmony. We even see a reference to this in the second Equestria Girls movie with the giant rainbow alicorn in the sky. The Mane 6 ARE the elements of harmony. They only needed the physical elements to channel their power as a sort of crutch before they could walk on their own, kinda like MCU Thor with Mjnolir in Ragnarok. It's crazy how it was stated this far back while they still had their physical elements.

yooo I love the way you spelled it out thank you cuz like I knew but this still really helped to solidify it

[@poptheartist]

@@YourRyeBread Thank you. This reply just came through in my notifications so I went back and refurbished my comment. It was missing a little grammar. I was a little out of my head space that day. I think I had a headache. And you're welcome.

[@karonji_mitsuri04]

I think Pinkie saying all that is so fun, is like Maddie from Ever After High, the little crazy best friend who says this very specific and looks crazy but its true and people dont know

[@TheSleepySev]

This vid helped me calm down from a panic attack, your channel is a comfort channel for me, thank you for making amazing content :’)

[@Milk-ck1wv]

He can watch Equestria girls shorts

[@TheMaskGamer2007]

Ooooo. I like this movie. Hope you watch all three MLP EQ Movies.

[@totallynotsyren]

14:47 it is confirmed in an ep that ponys do know the word "everybody" they just all say every pony

[@LJ-ox2tt]

If you think Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer is crazy, can’t wait for you to put together that there is a third with Starlight Glimmer.

[@kitkat_moushi]

trust me this can't be over yet. There's a 3rd and 4th film, Friendship games and Legend of Everfree but also Equestrian girls songs I suggest - Music to my ears - Shake things up - True original

[@Skeepers_]

Fun fact! The nerd kid and the jock kid that you mentioned working together are actually together canonically!

[@i1nez14]

I loveee equestria Girls it’s just so fun 😭 and the songsss 😍

[@tomasstargamer6308]

Haha, oh this will be fuuun to watch! Also I recommend watching the third movie at some point too, is my favorite of the Equestria Girls saga.

[@destinywolfofficial1191]

Thirty moons is about 3 years give or take. So it’s kinda a long time 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@CriticalCipher]

But the moon does not have cycles in equestria so it it not just 30 days? Also luna controls the moon she can make it do 30 moons in an hour

[@destinywolfofficial1191]

@@CriticalCipher oohhh I’ve never even thought of that. I forgot Luna controlled the moon

[@javencummins1426]

12:50 I have loved this series for about 10 years and didn't put it together until you said it

[@otaku-sempai2197]

The best guess is that a Moon is about a month, so 30 Moons would be about 2 1/2 years. That would mean that Sunset Shimmer arrived in the human world at human age that allowed her to pass as a high-school freshman.

[@timefliesaway999]

0:25 that can't apply to the mlp fandom, cause mlp g1 always had humans. I think g4 was actually the first to not have humans in the pony world. XD 5:27 that's what pinkie's doing lol 7:05 "one moon" refers to the whole moon cycle, alas, when the next full moon happens, and in our world that's every 27.5 days. But the question how much a moon is there, has never been resolved. 14:30 uh, no, not entirely. Twilight was clearly thinking before saying "body". While "everypony" is the pony equivalent in the pony world of "everybody", it's not that they're simply choosing a different word. I mean, maybe "everybody" exists, due to other animals being conscious there too, but "everypony" is simply their culture and the "main vocabulary" they grow up with.

[@freudianslipper]

Please watch the rest of the movies! It is so fun to see all these scenes picked apart, and your reaction makes it even more hilarious.

[@rafaelmatos5851]

There's no doubt Pinkie Pie is really a god in pony form that decided to live her life as a normal pony and uses her reality-bending skills to spread cheer and joy to everyone around her... even if it is against their will.

[@varav6487]

i haven't watched it yet but i'm so excited that you are finally watching the entire movies. I hope you continue and watch all the films and series of EQG please!

[@xBambxx]

4:48 I want to say that teleportation powers is not something only alicorns can do, it’s a spell you can learn and such :3

[@unifler4641]

39:05 YOU JUST BROKE MY MIND- I NEVER REALOZED TGAT!?!?!

[@bscar]

If you watch the "Blooper reel" from the Friendship Games, you'll see Pinkie swapping place with her human counterpart at the portal. Though my head cannon is that Pinkie is actually Discord's mother.

[@ExcitedBlini-ng6jq]

7:05 I looked it up and it says 30 moons is apparently 30 months or 819 days which I was shocked to hear❤❤😮😮🌕🌕

[@fireruby1882]

NOOOOOO :( FlashLight is freaking adorable bro. It’s my OTP

[@FeligamiAdrizoeSworaDooplivian]

I honestly think it’s a pretty good ship.

[@Mena-And-Thy]

5:27 Oh Mathew, just wait until you find out that’s exactly what the Pinkies from both worlds do 😊

[@jiiamp]

I literally just rewatched this movie last night, guess I’m watching it again now!
