Blog:My Little Pony: Equestria Girls - Outer Spaced (FAKE)

This film is considered fake. Vandalizing is a no-no.

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls - Outer Spaced (or My Little Pony: Equestria Girls 5) is a 2020 Irish-Canadian-American animated science fiction film directed by Fred Dekker and written by Jacob S. Lee. Based on the My Little Pony, Littlest Pet Shop, and Transformers: Rescue Bots toy lines, it is a loose standalone sequel to 2016's My Little Pony: Equestria Girls - Legend of Everfree and was produced by United Artists.

Plot
Set five years after Canterlot High's field trip to Camp Everfree, the Mane 7 have just moved to Downtown City to start anew, while revisiting some old friends from Canterlot. But this time, they're not dealing with Equestrian magic anymore. When Twilight Sparkle's puppy Spike begins to have nightmares about aliens coming down to Earth, he immediately starts to believe that there is about to be an alien arrival. Spike's predictions soon become a reality after a UFO crash-lands at Camp Everfree and he gets abducted by grotesque aliens, who believe that Spike is their leader. Worried that Spike will soon suffer a horrifying fate, the Mane 7 must race against time to rescue their friend, with the aid of their new neighbor, Littlest Pet Shop employee Blythe Baxter.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The film's story is cliched, unoriginal, and predictable. It also rips off certain elements of Muppets from Space.
 * 2) It has a poor grasp of the source material.
 * 3) *Whereas previous entries of the franchise take place in a high school setting, this film takes all of the characters and the setting of Canterlot High School and transports them to a metropolitan society.
 * 4) *Few of the main characters act nothing like their TV show or their feature film counterparts. Sci-Twi, instead of being a sad and nervous nerdy character who was corrupted by magic, is now a stern, worrisome, and overprotective owner. Sunset Shimmer's personality from the previous four films is completely gone, as she is reduced to being a sci-fi nerd. Rainbow Dash's personality is that she's laid-back and careless, where she's supposed to be speedy, irresponsible and well-meaning.
 * 5) *All of the Mane Seven characters live together in a large house, which is a baffling move.
 * 6) *There is a scene involving toilet humor, which was not in the previous four films.
 * 7) Unlike the previous installments, Outer Spaced has a much darker and violent tone, in contrast to the light-hearted tone of the first four films. For example, there is a scene where Spike stabs the main villain in the chest, spewing out blue-colored blood, which is very out-of-place for a movie based on My Little Pony. There is also instances where characters say "damn", "bitch", and "hell", which, again, feels very out-of-place.
 * 8) Some of the humor in this movie isn't very funny. Not to mention, there are pop culture references throughout the film that can be either stupid, unnecessary or cringe-worthy. For example, Rainbow Dash pokes fun at the Friendship is Magic TV show by saying "What else am I gonna watch? Some weird show about a group of pastel-colored horses?"

Good Qualities

 * 1) The voice acting is still great.
 * 2) The film's animation is actually pretty good, as it was done by Boulder Studios Ireland, the same company who did the animation for Rainbow Roadtrip.
 * 3) The idea of a non-musical My Little Pony movie is pretty interesting.
 * 4) It is pretty cool seeing characters from the My Little Pony and Littlest Pet Shop toy lines together.
 * 5) At least Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie keep their personalities from the previous films and the original TV show.

Trivia

 * 1) This is the only film in the Equestria Girls series to receive a PG rating (for sequences of action violence, rude humor and mild language) by the MPAA and is the first film in the series to get a wide theatrical release. The last four films were given limited theatrical screenings without any MPAA rating.
 * 2) This was Jacob S. Lee's second film to be based on a popular toy line. The first was 2004's Pound Puppies.
 * 3) It uses the 1987 United Artists logo.
