I'm hoping for seth putting up the 4 horseponies of the apocalypse for it or something.

What do you think will happen when we hit 666,666,666 page views guys? We're almost there, and I can only imagine that when the page views align they shall give unfathomable power to the dark king himself (M.A. Larson) and he shall rule with an iron fist until the holy alignment of 777,777,777 comes.

I still have no idea who that bat is, where she came from, or why she is so popular. But hey, test comment away.

And thus DHX proved they could make us watch a reskin of a Generation 3 episode and only go eh rather than outright destroy it. Like seriously, that scavenger hunt was straight out of G3. I have seen that Halloween Bronies React. But I enjoyed the episode honestly, though I am never going to rewatch it. It had good gags (Flutter-grampa, wacky inflatable flailing leg flailing tube pinkie, excited Shining horse noises) but that's it. It was like chewing sugar, enjoyable at the moment, but too much so and at the end it's not fulfilling. The plot was lackluster, but the jokes salvaged it to passable. Seriously, Pinkie was on point though (We get it you like books, they are about to have a lot more to deal with, etc.).

TL;DR The plot was G3 and bland, but the gags were on point, some of the best I have seen. A lot of throwaway moments I enjoyed individually, but not enough to convince me to rewatch it.

I just caught the tail end of the stream, and I don't know where to comment this so I'll just put it here because who cares.
Right near the end they said how they love accents and are probably going to have some in the game. And they said how Pom definitely needs to have a New Zealand(ian? inian?) accent. And now all I can think is that everyone is expecting Velvet to have a French accent cause of how posh she looks, but I REALLY hope she has a Scandinavian accent.

2nd time viewing, more things of note! I am certain everything I'm about to type here has already been noted in one place or another in the comments, but my internet is slow enough that I can't afford the time to find everywhere someone noticed. So I'll type them here instead, so I can be certain at least I wrote it.

Anywho, after a second watch I have upped my stance on this movie when I think about it from a different angle. Everyone has been talking about this as the potential for an Equestria Girls spin-off series, and if that is so, then this movie is golden. Heck, even if there are just more movies from here on out this is golden. This movie is not a stand-alone success, it's the groundwork for things to come (hopefully). It shows post-redemption Sunset becoming more comfortable in her place at Canterlot High. It establishes the concept that even though magic pervades this world and everyone is coming to terms with it, it's not the sole source of problems in this world. Everyone was disappointed by how little screen time Crystal Prep's Anti-Mane 6 got, but if this is just a place to introduce them and establish them as potential reoccurring (fr)enemies, then they did a good job on that note. Plus they got Alter-Twilight to CHS, and that alone makes this movie worthwhile. As long as this is not the last EG movie/show/thing and the Shadowbolts show up again at least ONCE then this movie served its purpose. Job well done writers, I was too harsh on you.

ON TO THINGS I NOTICED ON SECOND VIEWING
1) Pinkie, what are your eyes doing. Specifically, while Dash is talking right before the field reveal. That derp mode is too much. You have out derped the Derpy. It's too much. Stahp.
2) I noticed that Twilight's eyes flashed blue right before she opened the pendant but I just realized that they are the EXACT same shade as Sunset's eyes! It's a clever little piece of symbolism about them before Sunset straight up goes and talks about how their situations are similar. Kudos animation team, you always make me proud.
3) Just like in Slice of Life, all the equations I could make out on the board this movie all seem to be real equations even if I can't figure out their order or if they even have a logical flow. Good job on whoever if taking the time to research mathematical formulas at DHX.

P.S. I couldn't help (though I wish I could) but notice that some people in this comment section said that there were spoilers in this movie even though I have been avoiding spoilers like the plague. But if there really are spoilers in here for the final episode, I REALLY want to see one of the little portals from this movie slip into the background of this season's finale. Yay for continuity finally going both ways, not just from the show into the movies, but from the movies back.

I couldn't watch it last night due to visiting relatives, but I managed to reserve the tv that night so it could record. Then I got up at 2 AM this morning so I could watch it before anyone got up. All in all, I feel this suffered the same curse as MMC, really good quality stuff without NEARLY enough space to fit it all. Everything ended up feeling really cramped; I kept saying "Is there really enough time to do all this?" when Twilight was opening the locket 10 frigging minutes from the end. I'd rate this one well below Rainbow Rocks, and greater than or equal to the first EG. Hard to say precisely. I also wish the corrupted elements (The anti Mane 6) could have had more screentime, but whatever. It's fine I guess.

That being said, the little things made it for me. My favorite three things from this movie were:
1) Evil Twilight's voice. So smooth, so good. God bless Tara, about time she got to work her stuff again.
2) The evil villain's song. Disney villain's everywhere would be proud.
3) EG world Twilight looked even better than Equestria Twilight with her hair down. Maybe it's the glasses, or the wavyness of her little ear bangs. Just something about it looked to nice.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought this.

Just finally got back from work so I could watch the new episode. My thoughts from least important to most.
I am looking forward to that newspony's face becoming a meme. Looking forward intently.
That ending pony. Straight outta left field. And her cutiemark IS HER FACE, HOW DOES THAT EVEN?
Twi is canon best princess?
Goth pony is now second favorite pony after moon princess. I learn something new about myself with every episode.
The moment Sassy Saddles renamed Rarity's dress to "The Princess Dress" you know what I thought? No shit? "Is that Hasbro's marketing department? Is this whole episode going to be one long allegory about the writers (maybe even Lauren herself -gasp-) slaving under the demands of marketing to make something that sells rather than something unique?" My opinion at the end? It may have just been.

Finally, another full on Luna episode! She'd been pretty central in the CMC dream episodes, but they still haven't been ABOUT her. Praise be unto best pony!

Also, Alicorn Big Mac. We knew the writers were listening. We knew the animators were watching. We never knew what this would truly mean. God help us all, and may mankind forgive us for our hubris.
