Equestria Girls Review: My thoughts on the Equestria Girls Villains
Chapter 2: Chapter 2: The Review
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI just felt I needed to have let this out, otherwise, things might never change in the Equestria Girls film series.
Thank you Gracekim1 and Windrises for the review, and thank you guys for putting on my review the Ponies in Humanland community.
Sunset Shimmer at first she did seem like just a standard villain when Equestria Girls first appeared and seemed to had other flaws too, before the sequels, but the series progresses on, she'd evolved into my favorite characters of MLP:FIM. The former apprentice of Princess Celestia before Twilight Sparkle; tried to steal the Element of magic from the princess, and brings to Canterlot High. But When Twilight and her new high school friends defeated her, They've gave her a second change; but had much to learn about friendship. While in Equestria Girls and Rainbow Rocks; Princess Twilight Sparkle was the main Protagonist, Sunset proved herself to the rest of Canterlot High and be accepted as reformed hero, and In the Friendship games, Sunset Shimmer became the main protagonist of the EG spinoff.
The Dazzlings (Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk) - The sirens we're so far the best villains of the EQ spinoff, as they we're able to nearly put the whole under their musical spell, and turning students against each other and the Rainbooms. Villain songs are always my favorite element to have for a villain, and while Sunset never had a villain song, Rainbow Rocks got us 4 villains songs! Let's Have a Battle (Of the Bands), Under Our Spell,and Welcome to the Show by the Dazzlings and Tricks Up My Sleeve by Trixie Lulamoon as an extra treat.
In the climax, the Dazzlings not only had their own ponied-up form, but they were able to create siren copies of themselves, but soon lost to Sunset Shimmer and Rainbooms, as their red crystals; the source of their powers we're shattered, and we're never seen again since then, surprising that we've never seen what happened to them, I wonder if they'll ever come back? Hopefully If they do, they might team up with a male villain, but who knows... maybe Squirk from G1 (Except the writers of EG)
I will say this, Principal Cinch of Crystal Prep was one of the more intimidating of the villains here, although it was at this point, I was hoping they would start having a male villain to appear further on. In the Friendship Games has Unleash the Magic by Principal Cinch, the Shadowbolts, and Twilight Sparkle. Unleash the magic is very good villain song as Twilight is being peer pressured into using an dangerous amount of captured magic in order to win the friendship games and has similarities of Poor Unfortunate Souls from Disney Little mermaid, thus Twilight Sparkle became Midnight Sparkle. I also will say that she was a bit interesting to have at least appear in Legend of Everfree, and how Twilight was trying handle her inner demon.
When Gloriosa Daisy would be the main antagonist, she at least had good intentions of trying to save the camp, only for Gloriosa to lose control of herself with the crystal geodes and transformed herself into the monster of the camp; Gaea Everfree. But that's when I've started to get upset with how she would just like Twilight and Sunset whenever they've transformed. It was hinted that she would be the villain and made the film pretty predictable, but in the film, the writer tried to make Timber Spruce; Gloriosa's younger brother seem like he was the one causing trouble in the camp, so... it was kinda pointless, but it would have maybe made Legend of Everfree more interesting if he was the one who found the crystal geodes. I've even thought a a creative evil name for this film...
Titan Neverfree!
Gaea Everfree from the ghost story by Timber Spruce at least looked different and well-designed creature with a ghostly face and snake-like tree body, but we never see that form of her in the climax of the film. We Will Stand For Everfree in the Legend of Everfree is my least favorite villain song of the EG soundtrack, it just never catches on like the it's predecessors and I've just seem to started losing interest in the EG film series, since then.
And then comes Juniper Montage...
As she become the last straw, and breaking point that made me decided to start making this fanfic Review about these villains.
Juniper Montage Is the thief and latest antagonist in Movie Magic and Mirror Magic special, stealing the props for the daring do movie, after she was told she was to young to be Daring Do and hated the actress that would be her, and after being caught by Sunset, Twilight, and her friends, she was banned from the studio by her uncle Canter Zoom, later on in Mirror Magic, Juniper finds a magic mirror created by some of the magic slipping out of the broken statue above the portal.
I was hoping at least the mirror would be more sentient like the the evil Spirit from The Care Bears movie, but no, she instead has the human 7 trapped inside the mirror and was able to steal their magic changing herself into Juniper Monstar, a giant woman that seems to be to be inspired by Cruella De'vil from Disney's 101 Dalmatians. But with Starlight Glimmer's help, another girl/monster villain reformed herself, for the third.. no forth time, (unlike Queen Chrysalis) I get it's good to reform your villains, but not all the time.
However... I will not say that I hate Gloriosa Daisy or Juniper Montage, but just dislike how they've become the main villains of the EG spinoff. I've thought several ideas for male villains, of how lonely and jealous they can be at Sunset Shimmer and her best friends, I can just only hope that they'll make a Equestria Girls movie that will live up my expectations in the further future of Equestria Girls as I'll try to be a great fan to this and of course My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic as well, but that's another story. We'll just have wait and see what else they'll have in My Little Pony: Equestria Girls.
I hope you guys likes my thoughts of the villains, and who knows maybe I'll think more things to write about.
If you like my thoughts so far, what would you think the next Equestria Girls film will be like? I would really like to know.
