Sick Product of a Sick System

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

First off, this is one of the better Equestria Girls movies. Probably my favorite of what has been released so far. That being said, this movie is probably the one where I find my aggravation levels caused by Twilight's character to be the highest. The entire series would have been better off not having Twilight at all. Sunset Shimmer is far and away a much more sympathetic protagonist and has the most developed and interesting story of any character related to the series.What makes a good character is their story, and one of the reasons why characters like Luna and Sunset are so popular is because they have a base story of redemption. They went to the dark side, but have been redeemed and continuously are trying to better themselves and make up for their past. They are constantly moving forward while characters like Twilight are just... stagnant. I am incredibly disappointed at how Sunset was treated in this movie. First off, her "power" comes off as more of an afterthought than anything that makes sense. (I mean, really, the ability to touch someone and see into their mind? Compared to the abilities of everyone else, this is really bad. If anything it was only given to her to help smooth over bucketloads of exposition. Her power might as well be called "Exposition-finder-ex-machina" because that is ALL it's good for.) It's also pretty weak compared to Twilight who is given some pretty OP abilities that, to be honest, she has done nothing to even earn out of all the movies she has been present (and I mean this of her human character, not her pony character since her pony version actually did something to earn her powers). Sunset has worked the hardest to overcome adversity and is the true fighter in it all, but she's always being relegated to a back seat spot in favor of a character whose only contribution to the plot is allowing herself to be overcome with negativity. Honestly? They should just make Sunset the alicorn of the Equestria Girls series. This is an alternate dimension, after all. Why does everything have to go by the pony universe? If another film is made (and I'm sure there will be so long as there is money to be had) then I hope more focus and ability is given to the characters who actually deserve it rather than just dumping more special snowflake dust on Twilight Sparkle. Forcibly shoving something like Twilight's inept character repeatedly down the throats of viewers is NOT the way to get people to like her more.

Weirdly enough, the fourth installment in the 'Equestria Girls' spin-off movie series is reminiscent of slasher horror movies like 'Friday the 13th' and 'Sleepaway Camp' as it stars a bunch of high schoolers at a remote summer camp in the middle of a forest, and they are stalked by a mysterious dark power. Of course, since this is 'My Little Pony', nobody gets killed, but there are scenes set in the woods at night, some horror stories told around a campfire, a traitorous villain character and an actual monster.The story has good tension, but the ending falls apart. The whole 'Equestria Girls' series is hit and miss. The two first movies were energetic and fun, while 'Friendship Games' was weird and psychological. With 'Legend of Everfree', it seems the series is starting to lose steam.The franchise is in a strange place. It's got a lot of fans and the TV show has resolved some issues that have been a long time coming, but it also is getting a bit tired, repeating the same plot lines over and over. There's also an animated feature film coming up with ponies instead of humans this time.

***Spoilers***I've watched all the Equestria Girl's movies and I have to say, this is my least favorite. No memorable songs, barely there plot and completely off-the-wall developments. We already have the girls ponying up when they play music or show their true selves. Now they have super powers? Total gimmick from Hasbro to sell more EG dolls before Christmas. The geodes reminded me of the elements of harmony...but then...what is Sunset's? This movie had a lot of potential...but it was a bit of a letdown.There are enough unanswered questions to warrant another film...hopefully better than this one. And please, please, please. If they make another film. Please develop better songs.
