The Equestria Girls movies are a weird thing. Essentially, Hasbro wanted that Monster High fanbase and fused MLP with it in order to make some cash. What came out was 4 movies, some shorts, some movie/long episodes and a few specials. The movies, in hindsight, seem like a testing ground for some of the stories and characters we'd see later in the main show and I'll get to that in Rainbow Falls. I've wanted to discuss them for a while as they seem to be rather divisive. You either love them, hate them or don't give a crap about them. Let's see how the first movie pans out. The first movie starts after the events of Season 3. An odd placement considering the whole Twilight thing and this movie not addressing it at all. It doesn't really matter just a thing to note. Twilight and her friends are staying in the castle. They do show that Twilight is struggling to adjust to her newfound status as well as her wings, which is good enough for this movie. We get some good comedy and moments

It's a spike episode and not only that but a lore episode. This is the first time Dragon culture is really discussed apart from the gem thing. Let's see how it goes. The episode with Twilight sorting shenanigans and Spike fauning over a fire ruby. Rarity comes over and Spike gives her the jewel after some prodding. They do make it pretty clear that Rarity's main reason for wanting the jewel is Spike is going to eat it. It's still a little odd that Rarity basically seduces the gem of him, whether the scenes were in Spike's head or not. Still, Rarity is overjoyed and it gets across that Spike is pretty generous. A bit of Spike comedy and then it's his birthday. The mane 6 come over and shower him in gifts. Just going to say this now, this episode has really good comedy, nothing out of this world but it gets a solid chuckle most of the time and keeps a really fun tone. Rarity mentions that she is making capes for the mane 6 after being inspired by the genorisity of Spike. I've just

It's been well over a year. Mostly due to being busy and losing the drive for this but I thought I'd give it another go and what better episode to start on. The black sheep of the show, the Mysterious Mare-Do-Well. The episode starts with a Rainbow Dash fan club meeting. It's odd, doesn't really match the tone of the show and brings up a lot of questions that the show doesn't want to answer. This probably should have been later in the episode, it kind of makes the rest of the episode make even less sense. Especially because it's not just fillies and colts in the club. Anyway, the episode properly starts with Rainbow Dash saving a filly trapped in a well, Rainbow is surprised by the size of the crowd and is pretty humble. I guess the opening is to cement that there is a fan club for Rainbow but Scootaloo is the only one who is in most scenes and we already knew she admired Rainbow. Rainbow then stops a stroller falling down a hill, makes a bad joke and then makes sure to grab the
