Being perfectly honest, I actually find this more logical and genuinely thought-out than the actual movie as a whole.

THE SHIPS!!!
 
 
THE SHIPS!!!!!

Im glad they didnt it would be just… too weird to have them in a relationship with a guy why? Well because they would need to show how is that advancing and the fandom would be more divided than it is now.

@Kibate  
What’s especially bad is that there are things that could have been built on and never were, and they could have made him at least somewhat less bland. At the very least, whatever happened between him and Sunset should have been expanded on, considering both movies make a point of bringing it up.

@thps48  
yeah, i always get their names mixed up and spelled wrong

@Kibate  
Candace? Cadance is the pony princess. Cadence is no one’s name.

@Grelrik  
I don’t think it would be bad, if they had properly developed their relationship.  
I thought about a fictional scenario in which a third person asks them “What do you know about each other, aside for him being in a band, and she being a pony princess from another dimension”  
They wouldn’t be to answer, at all. He doesn’t know Twilight likes books, he doesn’t know her obsession with planning and her neurotic tendencies, he doesn’t know anything about her family or close friends, he doesn’t know the way she eats fastfood, he knows NOTHING about her, probably not even that she is a pony princess from another dimension, just that she has magic or whatever. And equally she(and the viewer) knows nothing about him.  
I like to compare him with Jeremy from the cartoon Phineas & Ferb. They are pretty much identical in their identity, BUT Jeremy and Cadence actually DO have a developed relationship, they know about each other, they are even the same species.

The problem is that to create a “crush-boy” for twilight they decided to use the overused cliche guy. The only thing that Im glad they didnt add on him (probably cause it would have been extremally stereotype) was the fedora a croos tatoo and a classic guitar to his “hey look Im a thin guy in a band” design.

@Grelrik  
Again, he dumped her.
 
But it’s true love had nothing to do with it, and she said as much herself. He wasn’t even a toy to her, he was a prop.

@Grelrik  
Yeah, though, I’m half-certain he the most popular Equestria “Boy” at CHS. Still don’t mean he has a canonical personality. :T

@thps48  
Mhmm yeah I guess you.got a point there but Twi was completly new to her body, I mean she didnt even know what the hell she was yet. She is a rather intelligent girl, why would she out of nowhere fall in love with a random “hey, you ok? I play in a band” cliche guy?
 
Sunset didnt fall in love though she was uaing him. And following the rules of coolness in school when she dumped him she became more popular while he became nothing.

@Grelrik @thps48  
Well, in all fairness to the Sunset part, this was during her manipulative bitch phase and she was basically using him as a prop, so he didn’t necessarily need to be anything besides arm candy.

@Grelrik  
There is a difference between a crush and love. Obviously, Hasbro failed to make that distinction. XD

Simple and obvious neither sunset nor twilight should have ever get involved with such an empty character. Is like making fluttershy suddenly fall in love with a new guy that only appeared 5 seconds on background and said 3 words.

“Also there was the thing with the photos. And he has a magic carriage that moves without ponies pulling it!”

Quick nitpick: According to eqg1, he dumped her.

I’m all for Sunset-Sparkle, but I don’t have that much of a hatred for Flash. This comic is awesome, though. I particularly liked Sunset seizing the moment, and Flash’s changeling form.

@SentryBronyPlatinum  
that actually makes sense

Very to the point, that Sunset is.

@thps48  
OH REALLY?!

Changeling: So…can we still date? Being a changeling is…really lonely.

this actually makes more sense than the actual movie plot

I’m starting to think that both G4 animations are not intended for girls, but for the whole family, is meant to be reinterpreted as “everyone is stupid” because that has been proven before with horrible movies getting high box office numbers and winning awards.
 
To entirely rip off a point made in Yahtzee’s The Witcher review, despite the flaws, both films fill me with joy, and if I had a choice between being happy or being unfathomably smart, I’d choose EG. (Though, my desire to be rid of my Autism is best explained by The Prince and the Pauper rip-offs like Freaky Friday and Wife Swap. I is what I is, and no billions of dollars nor debilitating poverty will change who I am.)

@Starswirl  
Yeah, flash has little to none canon personality, and your headcanon doesn’t count as one.

@Background Pony #CCB2  
“It’s hardly a life-long love affair, they haven’t even graduated.”
 
Umm, I hate to break this earth-shattering news to you but…Twilight isn’t a real student! She was there for just a few days at a time and only interacted with Flash for a fraction of the time, and suddenly they knew it was meant to be.
 
“so if you want to call Twilight shallow you might as well call all the little girls watching shallow too”
 
Umm…what? We are ALL shallow when we are little. Its part of being young. We are not by any means deep when we are 12 or 13, like G2 MLP and Flash Sentry are targeted towards.
 
“Well, since all we’ve seen of Twilight and Flash is a teen fling at this point, I guess that solves your hair-splitting?”
 
One, you were the one who called it romance pal.  
Two, you call them a fling? I only said what you described as an example was a fling. Twilight and Flash’s ‘romance’ is so badly written, it doesn’t even qualify for that. Even flings require actual conversation to take place.
 
“as they do nice things for you and make a positive impression.”
 
Some human interaction is necessary for that positive impression to turn into ANYTHING. They didn’t even bother including that. In classic baseball terms, they wanted the two to get to first base without even letting them get up to bat.
