Equestria Girls Discussion

[Rainberry]

Thats true.  At least it is relatively close to the Christmas season.

I remember seeing some stores already have Christmas stuff set up in late September.

[Blurr]

Oh it's the same down here in LA. Christmas stuff is already going up. They have a Santa hut being put together already at the Glendale Galleria.

So will there be a new generation of Equestria Girls like the ponies? 

To me they could have kept EQG going.  It seemed pretty popular.

[timmelon]

Of course, if this will happen in G4.5, there is a concern about their possible new appearance. «Pony Life»-like bodies doesn't seem to be large enough to draw detailed outfits, so making eye candies can be more difficult.

[Anyponedrawn]

I never thought the Equestrian Girls characters looked all that good.  They were too stretched and tall and just a generic shape, very stiff.

They could do so much better and give each character a unique shape.  You want to be able to KNOW a character just by looking at their outline.

[timmelon]

That's why I paid so much attention to their clothes (damn Alice: Madness Returns game, why I played it? ). If EQG's bodies look almost the same, nice detailed outfits can be used to give them some individuality. Unlike ponies, those girl's garments are important parts of them. Of course, some outfits look weird and bimbo-like, but many characters have really nice suits, especially after 2017 redraw.
And their haircut already gives them different shape (remember the «Good Vibes» title card?).

[Silverwing]

But having to rely on clothes to differentiate a character isn't good character design... same with just hair.  These characters should be more distinct.  Different sizes, heights, etc.  Ask any semi professional cartoonist or artist and they would say how poorly made Equestria Girls character designs are... they tried to get better as the series went on. 

So many of the characters are like an OC fever dream with bright rainbow colors that make people want to barf.  

[timmelon]

I am certanly agreed, different body shape would be good, but if G4.5 ponies will use the same body model, I doubt than artist will not do the same to hoomans, it's a doll-selling franchise after all.

Current look of Fluttershy is definitely not making me barf. VS, RD and Trixie too.
But speaking of Post Crush members — oh, yeah.

[Darrin]

I don't think we will see Equestria Girls again in this new generation.

So I am confused.  What is G4.5?  Isn't Pony Life G5?

[FoxTail]

So it is safe to say this show is gone now?

[sudosnz]

Eeyup.

[timmelon]

BTW, a few days ago IDW released a three-part comic featuring Canterlot High students. Maybe the story is meh, but drawing is still cute.

[spoiler]And of course, their bodies are drawn more fanservice-ish, than in actual movies. Even on the site, where I've found a nasty illegal forbidden link, was a comment that if not IDW's logo, the sport section of this comic will look pretty as a fanmade thing.[/spoiler]

[NostradamusTheSeer]

Rarity looks positively booby from that angle.   

[timmelon]

He-he, Just look at them.

[Wolfwood]

I LIKE WHOEVER DREW THIS COMIC. Thanks.
