| Twilight: “A million sparkles falling across the floor.” |
You see what I mean about bringing disco back? Just looking at Twilight’s outfit makes you want to gaze at a disco ball for hours. Unless there’s strong light reflecting off it. Otherwise, make sure you have on these cute tinted glasses Twilight has on. Also, as perfect as a line for Twilight Sparkle to specifically read, all I can picture is alternate versions of Twilight Sparkle falling on the dance floor. Is that bad?
So this special was an apple cider barrel full of new styles and I’m loving every single one of them. The disco styles with Sunny Flare, Rarity, Sour Sweet and Twilight might be my favorite style. But I do love Sunset’s flamenco style as well. The street ballet with Fluttershy and Sugarcoat is interesting, and you really can’t hate the Rainbow Dash and Lemon Zest hip hop style. What’s interesting is that they kind of gave Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Sunset slightly miscellaneous genre with country, flamenco, and…ok I have no idea what Pinkie’s style is here. I want to say pop music since it reminds me of her 80’s pop look from Friendship Through the Ages. But still fun styles all around.
Yep. This proves it. Pinkie Pie is a style all her own and beyond labels at this point. Because even though we have Lemon Zest and Rainbow Dash doing the hip hop style, we now have a rap solo with Pinkie in some 80’s style hip hop clothes. The only reason I can see this being the case is that nobody can change clothes as fast as Pinkie Pie. Rarity can, but do we really want to see Rarity rapping? Wait…do we?
Also I can bet Sunset did the mural in the background from her secret time as Flanksy in Display of Affection. Gotta love a good call back.
Ok nevermind. I don’t know if Rarity would have it in her to do this dance move. This is impressive B-Boy style. Not to mention this call out to 80’s hip hop group Criss Cross with the backwards pants when paired with the slit glasses from the early 2010’s. There were some interesting trend setters back then in both eras and Pinkie made it work.
Funny how you have Pinkie dancing with herself and this strange pairing dancing together. I mean we get plenty of Pinkie and Sunset in Sunset’s Backstage Pass and Pinkie could be related to Applejack in some distant way (don’t know if that translates to this universe instead of just the pony world, but I’m using it anyway). But I can see this, without the need of shipping, that flamenco and country dancing are usually done with partners.
Ok this I ship. I had to include one in this. Don’t judge me!
Ok so not counting the choreographed parts (that’s also repeated animation but it’s fine), the Humane 7 don’t seem to have a problem naturally dancing. Which is odd because that was basically the premise of this music video happening. The Rainbooms have the music and the Shadowbolts have the dance moves. Kinda funny how The Rainbooms seem pretty ok with improving their own dance moves for this break down part. You know, just wondering.
