WTF NO: "Equestria Girls"

[orangerful]

'Equestria Girls', a My Little Pony offshoot, will have a movie-length premiere'

WTF is that.

Seriously, I'm not sure what they are supposed to be. I guess they are half pony/half human but they look there is a bit of feline in there as well.

When fans say they try to figure out which pony they are most like, they are not imagining the ponies in a human form, but in the ADORABLE PONY FORM!

This is some kind of abomination.

(Also, should we even start in on the super-tiny wastes and the fact that this form makes them easier to sexualize? Yeah, let's just not go there right now).

And what is Hasbro thinking in terms of marketing? Are these going to be creepy Barbie doll style toys? Do they really think teens will watch this? Who is the market? This is not for the "Bronies" or the "Pegasisters".

**sigh** someone at Hasbro clearly does not understand the appeal of MLP:FiM. It's adorable and cute and they are ponies in adventures. I do not understand this current TV trope of aging up the characters into tween/teen form. It just creeps me out.

I hope this bombs and I hope it bombs hard.

I'm sure it will! It's like New Coke...

This just looks horrifying. I don't exactly agree with that image either, so many things are wrong and the size of their tiny waist is one of them. Hopefully this does horribly, because this doesn't need to even happen.

That's the bad thing about Hasbro, they love to market a show around a toy. Not a quality show and then a toy. It's ridiculous.

yeah but...what the hell toys are they thinking of??? I still can't imagine a non-freaky toy version of these ponies girls things!

And we could go on for days about the body image issues this show will have vs MLP...wtf.

As someone who does not give much in the way of a fuck about this show to begin with, I am among other things side-eyeing those anthropomorphizations in bewilderment. Whhhhhy exactly are they keeping the wings but not the horns? Like how is one less weird to have stapled on there than the other?

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

I really don't know. You'd think they would want to keep the horns. Maybe it's a toy-making issue and the horns would be a safety problem? I dunno. It's creepy any way you splice it.

Eewww! Run away, run away!

They look cute on the surface but as you've written, there's so much wrong with them. "Abominations" is a good approximation.
