Wow. Just wow. I seriously can't believe that bronies (not you guys XD) are raging the flip out about this whole Equestria Girls thing, it just irritates me that a lot of Bronies think that this inconsiderate, one off for the series will apparently mark "the end of the fandom" ( this is an actual quote from Ponychan...) yes, it does look a bit naff, but come on! Ok. Rant OVER!
/pony/ is the worst (I stick to /gala/ when it comes to ponychan, /pic/ is a nice resource too), I would expect nothing less than high drama in there.
Of course there is always a silver lining and that is drawing human style is easier than ponies and now with cannon designs its even easier so there's always that Spoiler Of course this means an even bigger influx of NSFW stuff thats going to invade all the pony sites ugh
OK, I'm not going to rant and rave about the Equestria Girls trailer. My entire synopsis of it will be but three words: It looks bad.
I wonder, actually. The FiM ponies are clearly (in the way they live, at least) young adults. The humanised ones are teenage girls. I could see some people being squicked by R34 EqG for that reason. Personally I avoid anything NSFW anyway when it comes to pony, so it won't make much difference. Well, assuming the WPC carries on into S2 (and I don't see why it shouldn't) I will indeed. What I will say, though, is that I don't hate that episode; I just don't think it's up to the standard of some of M McC's other work.

This may be somehow allegorical... I dunno...
Here's an interesting exchange from the IDW comics forums: Forum member: "So, the Equestria Girls hype wagon just went into full gear. Any chance this spin-off property will also be getting comics?" Second forum member: "Or for some aspects of it to find their way in the main comic series?" Bobby Curnow (IDW editor) : "No comment for the time being! (which, yes, I understand is a bit revealing in and of itself!)"
