Actually, I would have to repectfully disagree with you on how Rainbow Rocks should not be considered a good movie. Because, honestly in my opinion, I loved it, and it was so much better than the first one. Also, even though I still feel that the addition of Flash is still completely pointless, and I will agree is a major problem, most of the other problems you listed are just constant minor nitpicks.

Now, now. I didn’t say it was a bad film, heck I wouldn’t call the first one outright bad either (5 out of 10 was my score. That is average, not bad or good overall). But I think it still stands that for the most part thoughts on the film are going to depend on how you felt about the first movie. If you liked the first movie even a little bit, then you’ll like Rainbow Rocks for sure.

Those who disliked the first down to the conceptual level will not be that impressed though it is overall better constructed then the first.

I fall into a bit of a different category though. Where I’m a bit indifferent, in where I can enjoy some of the entertaining parts of the film like the Music and the fun little things done with characters outside of the Mane 6 that the fandom loves. But I’ll remain kinda critical and/or uncaring of the things that linger on that I haven’t liked about the Equestria Girls series on a conceptual level.

I’m at least excited to see what they do with Human Twilight. I think my biggest problem with the Equestria Girls series was how it had to force the Main series Twilight and scare us into thinking of the movies heavily impacting the Main series in ways that we don’t want (Like making the Pony Flash Sentry a love interest in the series). Introducing the other Twilight as a main character in a possible Spin-Off series and/or a 3rd Movie would relieve me of my lingering issues. Because now I can just see it as a spin-off that is totally harmless to the Main show. With Human Twilight, it’s alot more interesting because this is a brand new Twilight that should be reminiscent of the Twilight early in Season 1 given this one likely has not experienced friendship like the Pony one has. And Equestria Girls can finally evolve on it’s own without having to rely on plot threads coming out of Equestria to influence entire episodes. I want to see what happens when Human Twilight meets anybody (Even Flash Sentry as I noted in my thoughts about Rainbow Rocks) now, I’m actually really interested in something that Equestria Girls is teasing just because of this. In some ways I suppose, the tease at the end leaves me more excited then the entire movie itself. There’s so much potential for some enjoyable moments here, I surely hope that they really capitalize on it.

If it’s any comfort though, I do think there is legitimately more Pros then Cons to the movie. 7 out of 10 to me just means it’s good but not great from my point of view. But it’s a whole 2 steps ahead of the first, so it went in a pretty good direction all the same.
