Talk:My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Forgotten Friendship/@comment-10390252-20180217181502

Overall? A better-than average installment. I think that Nick got it right in keeping the antagonist a total mystery until the end. I suspected that Wallflower was involved but her active and conscious intent wasn't something that I expected.

Princess Twilight was lovely in her goofy dorkishness. The reunion with Celestia was, I suspect, just as most fans expected it to be but I really appreciated the fact that Trollestia came out to play a little too. It wouldn't be Celestia if she wasn't gently teasing when confronting her students on occasion. I also loved Sunset's difficulty in reconciling Princess Luna with Vice-Principal Luna (remember that this was the very first time that she's met the Princess of the Night).

My peeves? Making Clover a stallion. This has killed so many fanons with absolutely no cause whatsoever. However, I suppose it fits that the student would make the same mistake as his teacher in dumping dangerous magical artefacts (and ponies) in the human world. I also think that they could have had the memory stone explode when it was hit by the Elements of Harmony and we saw every single memory it ever stole escape.

I actually liked the new power-up costumes and I particularly liked Pinkie interrupting Twilight's attempt to channel Sailor Moon!

The songs were a bit ho-hum but I can handle that.

The real stand-out moment? Trixie's redemption and how that fed into Sunset realising her own role in the crisis. That was a subtle bit of writing and I appreciate it.

So, my overall score? 7.5/10 - It's hardly the quality of Legend of Everfree but it has its charms and, generally, all the right buttons were pressed.
