comment |
My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks is a movie sequel to My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, itself a spin-off of the animated television show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. It was released theatrically on September 27, 2014, with the television broadcast set for October 17 and the Region 1 DVD/Blu-ray release exactly one month later on October 28, 2014.Set between seasons four and five of the show, the film picks up after the original one — Twilight Sparkle has gone home to Equestria and is now the Princess of Friendship, while her friends in the human world have reunited and Sunset Shimmer is attempting to make amends for her evil ways despite the school hating her. However, a new threat enters the scene: three new students, Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk (collectively known as "The Dazzlings"). Using some sort of dark magic channeled by their singing, the trio spreads a Hate Plague across Canterlot High, turning a friendly talent show into a Battle of the Bands. With the entire school under their control and the students turned against each other worse than ever, Sunset contacts Twilight in Equestria to ask for her help in defeating the trio and freeing CHS before whatever scheme they're plotting comes to fruition. Twilight discovers the Dazzlings are dangerous creatures called the Sirens, who use their singing to mind control others into turning against each other and feed on their negative energy to gain power. She returns to Canterlot High and joins her human friends' band, the Rainbooms, and being the only ones who were not affected by the Dazzlings' spell, they must work together to make a musical counterspell and set aside their differences so they can save the day.A series of self-contained shorts preceding the movie serves as preludes to the story, and the film is followed by several other Animated Music Videos. All of these have their own page: My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks Shorts.There is also a book, My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks, written by Perdita Finn, that novelizes these shorts and with additional details for leading into the film. A third book, My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks: The Mane Event, released in October 2014, is the novelization of the actual film.This movie is followed by My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Friendship Games, the third film in the franchise. |

DJ Pon-3 was also not affected by the Dazzlings' spell because at the time of the song in the cafeteria, she was wearing her headphones and was seen bouncing to her own music, and continues to wear them throughout. She eventually becomes the one whom Spike finds to help the Rainbooms fight back. |

| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_143939c1 |
comment |
Trailers Always Spoil: The Hasbro and Shout! Factory trailers and sneak peeks essentially cut up the first 15-20 minutes of the film into individual scenes and snipped some jokes and bridging sequences between them. If you kept up with them before seeing the film itself, you can essentially skip to the point where the group contacts Twilight without missing much of anything. Even worse with the Hub Network/Discovery Family promos, which show Sunset joining the band in the end as well as the final battle between the Dazzlings and the Rainbooms including the transformations of the former. |

You Can't Thwart Stage One |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_15385326 |
comment |
You Can't Thwart Stage One: Things would have been way easier for the Rainbooms if they had stopped the Dazzlings earlier, when they were at their weakest. They try to defeat them as soon as they're all together, but The Power of Friendship doesn't activate, prompting them to find a more specific solution they must spend the film working on. In the end, they fall for the Sirens' manipulations, letting them drive a wedge between themselves, which finally allow the Dazzlings to drain a good amount of the Rainbooms' Equestrian magic and regain a large part of their powers. Only then does the real Battle of the Bands start, and the Dazzlings are now very dangerous foes. |

Tempting Fate: Adagio, talking about the Dazzlings' gems: "These pendants mean an awful lot to us. We'd just hate for anything to happen to them." Well done, Dazzle, now you jinxed it. Twilight proudly claiming "There isn't going to be a battle of the bands!" to the Dazzlings. Even if this wasn't happening about 30 minutes in the movie, you just know she's doomed herself and her friends to such a battle before the end. The Dazzlings then triumphantly sing "Nothing Can Stop Us Now!" just before the Rainbooms show up to defy them in said Battle of the Bands. |

comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The music videos for "Under Our Spell" and "Welcome to the Show" feature a shot of the audience looking uneasy, as if being entranced by the Dazzlings' music. This scene actually takes place when the Dazzlings' gems are destroyed, rendering them unable to sing in tune, and the audience is actually disgusted before they start booing them. The latter music video completely plays up all of the Dazzlings' verses, leaving out the Rainbooms' parts and the ending. |

Visual Pun: During the song "Awesome as I Wanna Be", a spotlight shines on each of the Rainbooms one by one, which is normal since they're performing on scene. It becomes significant when, in the middle of the song, all the rays of light focus on Rainbow Dash, who is literally stealing the spotlights with her showboating. |

Reformed, but Rejected: While the Rainbooms have befriended Sunset Shimmer and she has mended her ways, the rest of the school is not so forgiving. Considering that she terrorized the school as the Alpha Bitch for quite a while and especially her actions in the first movie (the Fall Formal is something of a Berserk Button), its easy to see why they're not very forgiving. The end credits show that the rest of the school has warmed up to her. |

comment |
Villain Song: The Dazzlings, a.k.a. the Sirens, have three: "Battle", "Under Our Spell", and their part of "Welcome to the Show". The second of these is a double meaning, as it's about falling under their spell in addition to already being under it. The third gets a Dark Reprise once the trio have been rendered tone-deaf following their pendants being destroyed. |

Trixie and the Illusions, in all their appearances in the film, only have one song... which is used twice. Trixie is a one-trick pony. |

Wrong Genre Savvy |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_20a14df0 |
comment |
Wrong Genre Savvy: The first thing Twilight Sparkle and friends try against the Dazzlings is use The Power of Friendship the same way that was used to deal with every villain prior. Too bad for them magic doesn't work that way in this universe. |

Chekhov's Gag |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_22cf50f9 |
comment |
Chekhov's Gag: Vinyl Scratch is seen bobbing her head to music on her headphones twice, first from the back as the Dazzlings walk through the tables, then it's more obviously her when seen in the background, during "Let's Have a Battle (of the Bands)". This is why she isn't affected by the Dazzlings' spell and is able to help the Rainbooms later on, since she never heard the original song. The "Music to My Ears" short is further allusion to this, as the only time music is not heard loud and clear is when she takes off her headphones. |

Chekhov's Gun: Fluttershy tries to point out to the rest of the Rainbooms that she has written some songs and asks if the band could rehearse and play them, and it becomes a Running Gag that the band doesn't get to play her song. The Rainbooms, near the end of the film, perform one of Fluttershy's songs to counter the songs of the Dazzlings and break the rest of the student body out of their Hate Plague. |

Door Dumb: The girls get locked in a room and ineffectually push and tackle the door; then Spike and DJ Pon-3 arrive and reveal it opens inward. The novelization provides a better reason why they couldn't escape: the door was bolted shut and DJ Pon-3 had to pry it open with a crowbar. |

Ironic Echo |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_237404cc |
comment |
Ironic Echo: The Dazzlings' Villain Song is the antithesis of the first film's title song. "Equestria Girls (Helping Twilight Win the Crown)" encouraged the students to unite and support Twilight in winning the Fall Formal, while "Let's Have a Battle (of the Bands)" induces a hate plague and a dog-eat-dog competitive attitude, generating negative energy by which the Dazzlings gain power. To drive the contrast home, both songs are staged impromptu in the CHS cafeteria. Before the performance of "Shake Your Tail", Twilight reminds the others they have to perform carefully so the Sirens don't see their magic; ironically, before "Under Our Spell", Adagio reminds Sonata and Aria they want to save their ultimate weapon by the time they restore their full power. |

Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: Sunset Shimmer is completely absent from the shorts, and her role is downplayed (or flat-out ignored) by much of the promotional material. She's actually among the most important characters in the film. (This was done intentionally to keep Sunset's role a surprise.) |

Circling Monologue: Adagio and Aria circle Sunset Shimmer while telling her they've learned of her reputation and putting her friendship with the Rainbooms to doubt. Note that there is obviously little space between Sunset and the wall corner, yet they still walk around her for the sake of the trope. Sonata joins in too, although she doesn't exactly master the concept of "circling". |

Most of the Dazzlings' and the Rainbooms' songs are pastiches of middle-of-the-road Girl Group songs, with the Dazzlings leaning more towards Trance and the Rainbooms favoring Power Pop. |

However, they are more sinister than usual for this trope. Photo Finish and Trixie Lulamoon have two cronies each respectively, and are also antagonistic in this movie, although this is mostly the result of the Dazzlings' influence. Without this, they are more or less ordinary girls. |

Funny Background Event |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_26eb6287 |
comment |
Funny Background Event: When Rainbow Dash talks about her role in the Rainbooms in the band room, Pinkie Pie can be seen wearing a cymbal on her head like a hat. During the "Let's Have a Battle (of the Bands)" song, most of the students are entranced by the Dazzlings... except DJ Pon-3 who's listening to her headphones and is oblivious to this. Becomes an important detail later, however... During the main cast's walk down the hallway to Principal Celestia's office, Pinkie is seen skipping merrily, similar to how her pony self often hops instead of walks. At the party in the gym, when Twilight and the Rainbooms hold hands to defeat the Dazzlings, Pinkie can be seen with a cookie in her mouth and her fist in the air. As the others wonder why their standing together in unity isn't unleashing magic, Pinkie is still seen with her fist in the air, the whole cookie stuffed in her mouth, and crumbs on her chin. As the Rainbooms show disdain towards Rarity's outfit before the first round, Applejack facepalms while the others give an eyeroll... except Twilight who just hangs her head sadly. |

Not Just a Tournament: With the exception of the Rainbooms, the students and faculty of CHS see the Battle of the Bands as a spirited competition. Since they have no knowledge of magic outside the events of the previous film, they could never guess the Dazzlings are using their competitive spirit to fuel their Hate Plague. |

Power Floats: The transformation of the Equestria Girls in their anthropony forms is usually marked by them starting floating, both in the shorts and the movie. Though not always — it doesn't happen when singing "Better Than Ever", notably. In the finals of the Battle of the Bands, the Dazzlings start floating as they're recovering their magic powers. And then, the Rainbooms do the same when they're filled with The Power of Friendship, starting with Sunset Shimmer. |

Amplifier Artifact: The ruby pendants worn by the Dazzlings amplify their magic in the human world, allowing them to inflict a Hate Plague on the people with their Mind-Control Music, and gain power through absorbing said negative emotions. Once the pendants are destroyed in the final battle, they lose their magic abilities and can no longer sing in tune. In the climax, Vinyl Scratch's DJ booth and bass speakers act as this for the Rainbooms, quite literally, weaponizing their Magic Music to blast at the Dazzlings' Siren avatars. |

(The toy version even has a detachable windshield that can be used as Cool Shades.) It has variousinvoked Fan Nicknames (Vinylmobile, DJmobile, Wubmobile...) with the most popular being Bassmobile. To top it all, it is a Transforming Vehicle that can become a DJ booth with several big speakers and a laser light show. |

Open Mouth, Insert Foot: One of Sonata Dusk's many airhead moments. Sunset Shimmer's friends can't help but bring up repeatedly her not-too-glorious moment as a "raging she-demon" from the first movie. |

Not Helping Your Case: Alright, Sunset, we understand you're emotionally distressed, but furiously telling someone, right in their face, that you didn't push Rainbow Dash mid-performance in a fit of jealous rage... isn't going to convince anyone you didn't push Rainbow Dash mid-performance in a fit of jealous rage. |

Kick the Dog: Flash Sentry, who by this point is under the Dazzlings' spell ignores Twilight after she joins the Rainbooms and when she won't take a hint angrily chews her out and insults her, reducing her to tears. The Dazzlings see this and laugh that tears are shedding before the first round is even over. |

Gentle Giant: Bulk Biceps' humanized form is pretty much spot-on given his pony self, with a muscular upper body and tiny little wings on his baseball cap. His instrument of choice is a violin, which he plays with a light touch — until his last bow stroke, which blows Snips and Snails off the stage. During the end credits, he lifts Sunset up so she can get Angel down from a high perch. |

Ascended Meme: After the Dazzlings escalate the final battle with the Rainbooms, Vinyl's Cool Car/DJ system demonstrates Disco Tech properties similar to the BASS CANNON concept introduced in the fan video Epic Wub Time: Musicians of Ponyville. "20% cooler" finally gets another mention here, once as a joke ("20% less cool"), and once in the extended soundtrack version of "Awesome as I Wanna Be". To some extent, Egophiliac's "Inconvenient Trixie" is extremely apt at a few points here. |

This Cannot Be!: Adagio's reaction, after the Dazzlings attempt to finish off the Rainbooms is repulsed and their spell over the crowd is broken, is one of disbelief. Her Red Eyes, Take Warning fade due to having been severely weakened at the loss of her thralls, and she's left staring up at the Rainbooms looking like she just got socked hard in the stomach and got the wind knocked out of her. |

Battle of the Bands |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_38068a1 |
comment |
Battle of the Bands: The entire plot involves the Dazzlings turning a friendly musical showcase into this. The song they use to incite the students to this is even titled "Let's Have a Battle (of the Bands)". The pre-finals are illustrated as bands literally blowing their respective opponents away with their music. A literal one happens in the Final Battle when the Rainbooms arrive to defeat them, both sides using Magic Music to fight. The Dazzlings are defeated when Sunset steps in. Adagio lampshades the literalness of the trope when the Rainbooms arrive. |

Stylistic Suck: The "Bad Counterspell" song and Snips and Snails' rap draw cringes and plugged ears from many in-universe. Many viewers have also observed that the Rainbooms' songs, while not bad at all, are not on par with the Dazzlings', right up until Sunset picks up the mic. This is probably intentional, as a reflection of the Dazzlings being two steps ahead of the Rainbooms for most of the movie, and generally much better at this Magic Music thing. |

The Equestria Girls and Sunset Shimmer are unaffected by the Dazzlings' Mind-Control Music. As is Vinyl Scratch since she's always wearing her headphones. The five human girls, however, are eventually rendered vulnerable by their own conflicts, allowing the Dazzlings to feed off their magic and reach their full power. |

Everything's Better with Rainbows |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_49bbfaee |
comment |
Everything's Better with Rainbows: No surprise here, honestly. As usual for the franchise, the Magic of Friendship is materialized by rainbows. In the climax of the final battle, when the Rainbooms at last get the upper hand over the Dazzlings, it first takes the shape of a rainbow-colored Planar Shockwave that pushes away the Siren avatars just as they are charging, stun the Dazzlings and wake up their thralls. Then a Pillar of Light rises, combining the colors of the seven friends, including Sunset Shimmer who adds the red hue to it. It coalesces into a multicolored Sphere of Power from which emerges a giant Winged Unicorn with a flowing rainbow as mane, who finally fires a rainbow beam from its horn, blasting away the Sirens and destroying their magic gems. This trope is heavily Lampshaded by both the opening title and closing credits songs "Rainbow Rocks" and "Shine Like Rainbows". |

comment |
Long Song, Short Scene: Two of them — indeed, the official Hasbro music videos featuring the full songs use lots of unrelated footage from the shorts and movies as padding. Rainbow Dash's "Awesome as I Wanna Be" is interrupted mid-song by Sunset Shimmer tackling her, because she is starting to show off her magic to the Dazzlings. As for Trixie and the Illusions' song, "Tricks Up My Sleeve", we gets the tail end of it the first time they sing it, and then at the concert just the beginning and end, while the gist of it is muted and in the background as the scene focuses on the Rainbooms. |

Do Well, But Not Perfect |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_5049f19d |
comment |
Do Well, But Not Perfect: The Rainbooms' strategy for the battle of the bands, to unleash their full power in a surprise attack on the Dazzlings. Subverted, see Dramatic Irony below. The Dazzlings use the same approach, as they don't want to reveal their true forms to the students until their power has been fully restored. |

Bookends: When Twilight first enters the human world, Sunset offers her a hand up and she noticeably hesitates to take it, showing that while she may have given her a second chance she is still wary of her. During the film's climax, after Sunset has proven herself to be a true friend to the rest of the Rainbooms, she once again offers her hand to Twilight, who doesn't hesitate to take it this time. |

It was also pointless for the Rainbooms to become so preoccupied with preventing the Dazzlings from seeing their anthropony transformations, since the Dazzlings already knew that the Rainbooms were a source of Equestrian magic due to being Immune to Mind Control. |

Letting the Air out of the Band: When Twilight and her friends lock hands together to confront the Dazzlings and she exclaims "Friendship is magic!", the music rises dramatically... before falling flat since nothing happens. Embarrassed silence follows, which is quiet enough you can hear a cough. |

Not Himself: The CHS students under the Dazzlings' spell, becoming confrontational and ultra-competitive. Most notable with Flash Sentry, for whom it's completely at odds with his Nice Guy persona from the first movie. He even snaps once at Twilight Sparkle, making her cry, once the Rainbooms enter the show. On the other hand, it's unclear whether Trixie would be any less antagonistic even without the Dazzlings' influence. |

Triumphant Reprise: The Rainbooms' part of "Welcome to the Show" is triumphantly reprised after Sunset joins the band and they conjure up a giant Winged Unicorn avatar to defeat the Dazzlings once and for all. Also, the moment in the battle where DJ Pon-3 fires the first salvo with her BASS CANNON, followed by cutie-marks sparks attacks, uses the theme from the first movie (specifically, the part when the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls title card shows on screen) in a more upbeat/rock cover. |

Late-Arrival Spoiler: Sort of. The Transformation Sequences at the end of the previous movie were left out of the trailers for it and thus treated as a spoiler; the teaser for Rainbow Rocks based on the shorts shows the hybrid forms almost right away. Likewise, Sunset Shimmer's Heel–Face Turn from the first movie is in full effect here. Also, one who hasn't seen the Season 4 finale of Friendship Is Magic might be surprised to see Twilight's library tree replaced by a huge crystal castle. |

Cannot Spit It Out: It's never made clear what Twilight was about to say to Sunset before changing her mind at the end of the kitchen scene. She may have been trying to confess that she doesn't know how to write the counterspell and wanted to ask for Sunset's help. |

I've Heard of That — What Is It?: Pony Pinkie Pie pulls one when Twilight explains she suspects the Dazzlings to be sirens, very similar to when Twilight mentioned genealogy to her in "Pinkie Apple Pie". |

Putting the Band Back Together |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_65d658f |

Putting the Band Back Together: The start of the first trailer puts it this way; not really the case, though, since the "band" technically just formed for the CHS Musical Showcase. Although they do need to reunite with Twilight Sparkle to have the full cast of the first movie. Pinkie Pie also says the trope name just before they gear up for the final battle. |

| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_65e0a4ba |
comment |
Signature Instrument: The Equestria Girls are forming a rock band called the Rainbooms. Five of the prequel shorts show them picking their favorite instruments through moment of Magic Music: "Guitar Centered": An electric guitar for Rainbow Dash, which gets an instant makeover of shiny sapphire-blue and lightning bolts when she starts playing. "Hamstocalypse Now": Fluttershy picks the tambourine and uses it to sooth rowdy hamsters. "Pinkie on the One": Pinkie Pie can't help drumming with whatever at hand, making her a perfect pick as a drummer for the group. "Player Piano": Rarity gives up on playing the grand piano when a keytar is suggested instead and she digs it. "A Case for the Bass": Applejack recovers her bass guitar from the Flim-Flam brothers, and playing covers it with her apple cutie marks. The movie itself shows Sunset Shimmer and Trixie Lulamoon playing "Flying V" guitars; fitting for Trixie's Cute Witch theme as it somewhat looks like a Flying Broomstick. |

Brought Down to Normal: Twilight Sparkle again. In Equestria, she's a powerful alicorn princess who easily creates an interdimensional portal in Act 1 with just a little Magi Babble. When she crosses over, she has next to no power or magic. This is implied to have happened to the Dazzlings after their siren forms were destroyed and their pendants shattered. They are now unable to sing properly and are booed off the stage by the student body, complete with Produce Pelting. |

Meaningful Echo: Attempted by Twilight. In the previous film Flash jokingly said "we need to stop bumping into each other like this" after they bumped into each other a second time. After bumping into him for a second time in this film Twilight says the same line herself, but Flash ignores her due to being under the Dazzlings' spell. |

Covers Always Lie |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_7315fd38 |
comment |
Covers Always Lie: Some of the promotional art◊ for the movie shows Trixie or DJ Pon-3 with pony ears and "Rainbow Power" hair. No such thing happens in the film. Various promotional material show Applejack's bass absolutely plain (as seen above), when in the film, it is decked with apples. The box art shows Twilight performing front and center with the Rainbooms, while one poster (also used for the soundtrack) features Twilight Sparkle front and center, engaged in a sing-off with Adagio Dazzle, the leader of the villain trio. While these do indeed happen, Twilight herself does not even appear until over a third of the way into the movie, and her ultimate contribution to the band's success is minimal at best. Sunset Shimmer, the villain from the first movie, is the actual main character in this movie, yet she is completely absent from all promotional art. Even though on said poster Twilight faces Adagio Dazzle, they never speak to each other in the film; the only heroine to converse with them is Sunset. In an inversion of a common mistake made later in the series' run, one official YouTube upload of the film uses art featuring the human Twilight Sparkle, in her powered-up form from Legend of Everfree, opposing Adagio. This character only appears in The Stinger, after Adagio is defeated. |

Spotlight-Stealing Title: The subtitle "Rainbow Rocks" should be your first clue; Rainbow Dash is the leader of the band, which is called the "Rainbooms", and as always the rainbow is a recurring visual motif. Also a case ofinvoked Billing Displacement; contrary to the film's advertising, Rainbow is not The Protagonist, or even given all that more prominence than the rest of the five. |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_7d89315b |
comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Adagio, Aria, and Sonata give one to Sunset Shimmer when she confronts them in the hall and declaring that whatever they are planning, they won't get away with it. The Dazzlings simply scoff at her and call out her own past misdeeds from the first movie, saying that they are not the slightest bit worried about it. Why? Because even if Sunset knows their plot, she can't do anything about it since she's reduced to the school pariah due to her past sins. They continue to rub it in that no matter how hard Sunset tries, people will always hate her and never forgive or forget what she's done. Adagio finishes by mockingly consoling Sunset that no-one will remember her at all by the time she and her fellow Sirens are done with their scheme. |

Animation Bump: Even with the great effects the show has gotten over four seasons, the film still pulls it off. There's a lot of usage of shading from light sources, Depth of Field including Rack Focus, camera pans and dollies, and compared to the first film the human characters are more dynamic and expressive. |

Everybody Do the Endless Loop: The animation is overall excellent; if it does use a few loops, it's mostly for background characters, and too short to be noticeable. The exception is the distant shot of Trixie and the Illusions at the final concert, whose moves are a bit repetitive. |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_7fbb2a3 |
comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Star Swirl the Bearded sent the Sirens to Earth in an attempt to De-power them, thus allowing the Dazzlings to cause the havoc they did. Twilight and the now reformed Sunset's actions at the climax of the first film are what gave the Dazzlings the clue that the power they needed exist in the human world, and thus the motivation to become the antagonists of this film. Sunset tells the Dazzlings about the band event, and even suggests that they visit Principal Celestia. (Although they might have already known, and precisely chose this day to enroll for this reason; their expressions at this moment are ambiguous.) Sunset stopping Rainbow from transforming and possibly revealing their plan to the bad guys almost gets the Rainbooms kicked out of the competition, and the girls' bickering gets so bad that they start getting affected by the Dazzlings' spell and end up providing them with enough Equestrian magic to almost succeed. |

Establishing Character Moment |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_7febc23b |
comment |
Establishing Character Moment: More like a re-establishing moment with Sunset Shimmer. Her first scene in this movie is offering to help the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and, when rejected, walking awkwardly and timidly towards the Rainbooms under the stares of other students. Then she has to help Fluttershy clean paint off her face. It is 180 degree turn from the previous movie and sets a crystal clear start for this one's secondary arc (Sunset Shimmer's on-going redemption). |

Juxtaposed Halves Shot: During "Let's Have a Battle (of the Bands)", in a close-up Aria and Sonata's faces merge to create such a shot (just as they sing "One and the same thing"). Then it split in the middle to reveal Adagio's face. The cover◊ of My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks: The Mane Event also uses one to illustrate the conflict in the book, with Twilight Sparkle and Adagio Dazzle's half-faces separated by a microphone stand. |

Dramatic Wind: In the prologue, the Dazzlings' discovery of Equestrian magic in the human world, marking the start of their Evil Plan, is during an appropriately windy night (the same as the climax of the first movie, in fact). The Rainbooms stepping into the fight for the final battle is also accompanied by some dramatic wind blowing their hair and clothes. |

What Happened to the Mouse?: We never find out what happens to Celestia and Luna after the semifinals, as they aren't seen again from that point on. Once the Dazzlings are defeated and run off, they are never seen again. This doesn't qualify as Chuck Cunningham Syndrome because they are mentioned later. |

Art Shift: The opening credits use black silhouettes of the characters (with only the facial cutie marks and red gems as spots of color). They are also often more stylized, notably with legs ending in pointy tips instead of feet. The ending credits use monochrome still frames of the characters in a more detailed style. |

Transformation Sequence: The Equestria Girls still transform into their pony-human hybrids as at the finale of the first film, but now the transformations are powered by their musical talents. The Dazzlings also get one at the end after draining enough Equestrian magic. As does Sunset when she joins the Rainbooms; hers in particular is very much in the Magical Girl style compared to other transformations. |

As You Know: Although there is some debate as to how long exactly the Dazzlings have been exiled to the human world, in the prologue Adagio's discussion about how it is lacking Equestrian magic and Aria's comment about their banishment are something they should know already. Likewise, Sunset Shimmer and the Rainbooms discussing the events of the first movie is for the audience's benefit; you'd think Sunset especially wouldn't want to dwell so much on it. Pinkie Pie's intervention is then just rubbing it in, but that's in character for Pinkie. |

Nothing Is the Same Anymore: It's implied that the events of the previous film have permanently introduced Equestrian magic into the other world. Twilight has taken the Element of Magic back, but the human versions of her friends are still able to shapeshift into their anthropony forms and the Dazzlings are able to command stronger magic than they could before. The ending also implies that the rest of the world starts waking up to what's really happening at Canterlot High, in this case in form of none other than the real human Twilight. |

Split Screen: A few in "Let's Have a Battle (of the Bands)" for close-ups of the three Dazzlings. Several are used during the "Under Our Spell" montage to illustrate a few rounds of the Battle of the Bands, when two bands are competing. Then they are reunited on the same screen when the winner's music (metaphorically) "blasts away" the loser. Finally, the screen is split in three parts for a close-up of the Dazzlings' gems being destroyed. |

Foreshadowing |

comment |
Foreshadowing: During the song "Let's Have a Battle (of the Bands)", Vinyl Scratch/DJ Pon-3 can be seen in the background paying absolutely no attention. Spike justifies his reason to go with Twilight through the mirror is that she'll never know when she'll need her faithful assistant. Princess Twilight tells her pony friends they shouldn't come to the human world with her because having two of them around would be weird. Twilight's human counterpart is finally seen in the stinger. The five human girls' arguing throughout the movie: Rainbow Dash referring to the band as hers, Fluttershy's song never being sung, and Rarity's obsession with fashion for the band (with Applejack being the most annoyed by it). A very subtle hint for things to come — not in the movie, but in Season 5. At Twilight's new castle, Pinkie is seen sitting on Applejack's chair, but there's really nothing odd with that. However Rarity — who's sitting on her own throne — has her cutie mark emblem above it glowing. From the SDCC Season 5 animatic, we know that when all six sit on their respective chairs, they activate a magical map of Equestria. Adagio says to Sunset that the ruby pendants she, Sonata and Aria wear are important and would hate to see anything bad happen to them. Turns out their pendants are what help them sing, and when these are destroyed in the final battle, they can no longer sing and are powerless. |

Continuity Nod: While all the students and faculty at CHS that are based on the Mane Six and commonly-seen background ponies are given some character traits that differ from their Equestrian counterparts, they tend to have some things in common. The "Let's Have a Battle (of the Bands)" sequence starts with a wide shot of the cafeteria similar to the one starting the "Equestria Girls (Cafeteria Song)" sequence in the first movie. Fitting, as the two songs are thematic opposites. When Vice-Principal Luna accuses Sunset Shimmer of casting doubt on the new students so the rest of CHS will forget her own actions at the Fall Formal, the first person to speak in Sunset's defense is Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy plays with a ladybug next to the rearing horse statue. In the first movie, one of the first things Twilight saw after coming out of the portal in the statue was a ladybug. Sunset Shimmer begins writing her message to Equestria with an all-too familiar phrase. Spike is seen reading a Daring Do book at the beginning of the pony sequence. Twilight learns about the Sirens from the same storybook seen in "Friendship Is Magic – Part 1" and "Twilight's Kingdom – Part 1". Twilight says to Pinkie "Pinkie, you're a genius!", to which Pinkie responds "Yeah, I get that a lot." Twilight has previously said this to her in "Luna Eclipsed" and "It's About Time". A nod to "Music to My Ears" with Vinyl Scratch seen walking in the background of the café just like she did in the short. (It can't be the same moment, though, since Twilight and Sunset are here unlike in the short.) Twilight is still having trouble adjusting to hands; she decides to be the singer of the group since learning an instrument with them would take time they don't have, and we catch her writing with her pen in her mouth in a later scene. Pinkie's expression while playing the theremin is similar to the "creamy frosting" line. AJ and Rainbow Dash are playing a video game based on the humanized version of the Mane-iac seen in the 2014 Annual. As Sunset and Twilight find out, Pinkie has a fridge full of whipped cream. That is to say, creamy frosting. The lyrics of Twilight's "Bad Counter Spell" are a Kirk Summation about defeating villains with The Power of Friendship, similar to the ones she's delivered when the Mane Six used the Elements of Harmony in Equestria. Snips and Snails' rap starts with a similar beat to Pinkie's rap in "Testing Testing 1, 2, 3". Snips' outfit is also similar to the one Pinkie wore in that episode. Applejack and Rarity constantly argue with each other, like their pony counterparts in "Look Before You Sleep". In the previous film, human Pinkie wished she had some kind of party cannon. Here she rigs her drums to shoot confetti, with the same sound effect as pony Pinkie's cannon. The Crusaders are in human-equivalent versions of the CMC's rock-band outfits from "The Show Stoppers" for their segment. Rainbow Dash makes reference to the "20% cooler" line before performing "Shake Your Tail!" by saying they should be "about 20% less cool". The line is also referenced in the full version of "Awesome as I Wanna Be". Fluttershy has stage fright. In fact, her running away from the spotlight as Snips and Snails re-position it mirrors her pony counterpart running from the same in the Imagine Spot from "Filli Vanilli". Sunset Shimmer once again talks to someone in a dimly lit hallway. Fluttershy's lyrics, which we get to hear when the Rainbooms face off in the final battle, are thematically similar to the lyrics in the episode "Filli Vanilli" (both Fluttershy's own song there and the Ponytones' song), in how music can help one express themselves. The Rainbooms get Super Modes with glowing rainbow-striped hair similar to the Rainbow Power in "Twilight's Kingdom". Sunset Shimmer's own transformation to anthropony form is in the same style as the Transformation Sequences of the heroines from the climax of Equestria Girls. The final scene where Trixie interrupts Twilight and Flash's moment together has her quoting pony Trixie's final line from "Boast Busters" practically word-for-word (just replace "an Ursa Minor" with "the Dazzlings"). She even ends it with a failed Smoke Out, just like in her counterpart's debut. "Shine Like Rainbows" has lyrics similar to "Let the Rainbow Remind You". The movie even calls back to the comic book arc "Reflections" by showing a book that has a counterpart in Equestria that is affected by changes made to the version in the human world, something that became a plot point during the course of that arc. Near the end of the first movie, Twilight reaches out to Sunset to help her up. Near the beginning of this movie, Sunset reaches out to Twilight. |

Mood Whiplash: The climax of the movie has one extreme change of mood following the very intense conclusion of the Battle of the Bands, with a giant celestial alicorn blasting out the Sirens and their pendants... and then the Dazzlings still try to sing, only to be hilariously off-key. |

Let Me at Him!: It's very quick, but at the end of the "Under Our Spell" montage, it looks like Derpy is trying to pick a fight with Bulk Biceps, with Lyra and Bon Bon restraining her. |

Ascended Extra: Human Trixie only appears for a quick cameo in the first film. By contrast, she plays a bigger role here as a member of one of the rival bands the Rainbooms face against, called "Trixie and the Illusions". Unlike the first film, Human Photo Finish speaks in this one. And like Trixie, she leads a rival band. This story marks the first time that Octavia Melody is heard speaking as either a human or a pony. Both versions had previously spoken in the comics. At the end of the movie, DJ Pon-3 has joined the Rainbooms. |

Adults Are Useless |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_a939d96a |
comment |
The Dazzlings hypnotize the entire school with their enchanted singing, including Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna, into turning the initially friendly musical showcase into a Battle of the Bands. However, the Rainbooms and Sunset Shimmer, thanks to the the magic of friendship that was imbued into them in the previous movie, are the only ones in the school who aren't mind-controlled into showing animosity towards their schoolmates; in fact, they devise a plan to try to break the Dazzlings' spell on the rest of the school. Double Subverted into that, due to their arguing over little things along the way, the Rainbooms almost fall into the trap of turning on each other and showing ill-will amongst themselves, thus giving the Dazzlings more energy, until Sunset Shimmer tries to reconcile them and bring the band back together again. |

Dramatic Irony: During the tour Sunset gives to the Dazzlings, a number of the comments they make hint at their evil intentions to the audience, who knows that they're up to no good, but Sunset doesn't know the Dazzlings are evil yet, and is more confused than clued in. Later, the audience knows that the Dazzlings are manipulating things to get the heroes to fight and feed on their magic in order to gain power, but the heroes think the Dazzlings are unaware of their magic. |

Soundtrack Dissonance: The performance of "Shake Your Tail!" The song is a very upbeat number about getting together for a party, and when it was released as an online short video, the visuals supported this. In the actual movie, the visuals include Rarity and Fluttershy having on-stage breakdowns due to sabotage from the other bands, AJ glaring at the latter for having to deal with this, and Twilight getting worried over Flash Sentry. |

No-Sell: The Equestria Girls and Sunset Shimmer are unaffected by the Dazzlings' Mind-Control Music. As is Vinyl Scratch since she's always wearing her headphones. The five human girls, however, are eventually rendered vulnerable by their own conflicts, allowing the Dazzlings to feed off their magic and reach their full power. Then when the girls try to unleash the Magic of Friendship to break the Dazzlings' spell, nothing happens; this is because the Dazzlings' magic comes from their music, and the girls can only channel magic by playing music themselves, thus they need to use the same type of magic against them. |

Near-Villain Victory: By the end of the movie, the Dazzlings have all of CHS under their control with their constant bickering feeding them more magic every time. Meanwhile, the Rainbooms are trapped under the stage and after the various problems amongst each other and being exposed to the hatred of the Dazzling-controlled CHS, they're now at each other's throats while Twilight and Sunset look on helplessly with no idea how to fix this. All of this is fueling the Dazzlings even more power than they've ever dreamed of. If Sunset hadn't resolved the Rainbooms' argument, or Spike hasn't fetched DJ Pon-3 to rescue them and help them, the Dazzlings would have won. |

Oh, Crap! |

Oh, Crap!: Trixie has one in her facial expression when Sunset gets right in her face. She looks as though she's afraid to get beaten up, rather than retaining her smug demeanor (though that swiftly returns when Sunset calms down). Sunset has this reaction when she sees Rainbow steal the spotlight during the semifinals, which results in her being about to transform. Two by Sunset Shimmer as she helplessly watches both the corrupt magic from the girls being drained by the Sirens and Twilight going through a Heroic BSoD. The looks on all three Dazzlings' faces as they spot the giant alicorn emerging from the clouds are really not happy ones. And they have an even bigger one after their gems are destroyed and they find out they can no longer even sing. |

The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: Spike is once again acting very dog-like in this movie, eating dog biscuits and playing with a dog toy at one point. He's still himself, though, and helpful to the end. Moments after Twilight and Spike arrive in the CHS world, Applejack mentions Flash Sentry, Twilight's crush from the first film. Twilight instinctively twirls her hair with her finger, a uniquely human expression of infatuation. |

Epic Fail: The Rainbooms' initial attempt at using their magic to defeat the Dazzlings fails completely. Even moreso, this proves to Adagio that they are resistant to the Dazzlings' spell, targeting them as the source of the Equestrian magic they seek. Twilight's attempts at writing a musical counterspell are so bad that Granny Smith shoves apple cores in her ears to block it out. |

The equalizer display in front of DJ Pon-3's transformed car also uses six colors of the rainbow in order. |

Dramatic Spotlight: During the song "Awesome as I Wanna Be", a spotlight shines on each of the Rainbooms one by one, which is normal since they're performing on scene.

comment |
Cast Calculus: Villainesses and heroines alike. For the Rainbooms, Twilight Sparkle is The Hero/The Leader, the one who would lead and cast the spell to save the day. Rainbow Dash is The Lancer, who sees herself as the leader at first and contrasts Twilight. Applejack is The Big Guy, obviously. Pinkie is The Funny Guy, obviously. Fluttershy is The Young Guy, as she is the most frightened by everything. Rarity is The Smart Guy, as she was the one who was the most savvy when it came to how to put on a band performance. Sunset Shimmer is the Seventh Ranger and The Old Guy, not because she's older than they are (even if she is), but because of her experiences (although it's ambiguous how old Sunset actually is, she manifests in the human world as a teenage girl like the other members of the Equestria Girls). For the Dazzlings, we have the Freudian Trio and Comic Trio all rolled up in one. Adagio is very easily The Spock (slightly subverting the usual setup) and the Leader, respectively. Aria is The Kirk (being a balance of the logical Adagio and the emotive Sonata) and the Complainer, respectively. Sonata is The McCoy and the Dingbat, respectively. |

Idiosyncratic Wipes: The Rainbooms' Transformation Sequence during the final battle are each preceded with brief cutie-mark-based transition wipes (apples, diamonds, butterflies, rainbows, balloons, and a magic star). |

Midnight Snack: Sunset Shimmer wakes up for one during the Slumber Party, finding Twilight in the kitchen (and nothing but whipped cream in the fridge). She must have licked the cream off her thumb when the camera wasn't on her. And then Maud Pie shows up to feed her pet rock. "Boulder was hungry." |

The Dazzlings feeding on negative energy is manifested as a green mist that is sucked through their necklaces. Although it is probably Invisible to Normals, as only Sunset Shimmer seems to be able to notice it. |

Forgiven, but Not Forgotten |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_c301532f |
comment |
Forgiven, but Not Forgotten: While the Rainbooms have forgiven Sunset for her actions in the past and do consider her a friend, there is noticeable tension between them and her. Considering the fact that she used to bully them, this makes sense. They unintentionally snub her by not even offering to let her be part of the band. Likewise, Twilight is also hesitant of her when she first enters the human world again. Fortunately, after Sunset helps to break up the growing tension between the Rainbooms thanks to the Dazzlings and joins them in the film's climax, Sunset fully integrates with her friends and she is shown jamming with the band at the end. |

Hope Spot: Despite Sunset Shimmer interrupting the Rainbooms during the semi-finals, Celestia declares them the winners and would go on to the finals, giving them more time to prepare the musical counterspell. However, their victory is specifically engineered by the Dazzlings, who mind-control Celestia and Luna. This leads to an uproar amongst the student body, who feels they don't deserve it, making their victory a Pyrrhic one. And to top it all off, the Dazzlings manipulate Trixie into trapping them under the stage, thus completing dashing any hope of performing the musical counterspell at least until Vinyl Scratch helps them out. |

Cringe Comedy: The Rainbooms and Twilight attempting to defeat the Dazzlings with a By the Power of Grayskull! move is one of the most embarrassing moments for the main characters in either universe. Also, the "Bad Counter Spell" Twilight wrote is considered cringe-inducing, both in-universe and out. |

Shout-Out |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: During "Let's Have a Battle (of the Bands)", Sonata and Aria dancing behind Adagio makes it look like she has six arms, a common representation for gods in Hindu Mythology. Aria and Sonata's short exchange of slaps over the fruit punch would make The Three Stooges proud. When Rarity is showing off potential band outfits, one of them is styled like The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper band costumes. She even suggests that it may be a bit old-fashioned, so she switches to a Daft Punk-style outfit, complete with a working replica of Guy-Manuel's helmet. When Pinkie notices Trixie hiding, Trixie zips offscreen leaving some hairpins behind, much like Witch Hazel from Looney Tunes. Derpy's bandmates bear a very close resemblance in hair color and style to Shana and Kimber from Jem and the Holograms. Even the one that is like Kimber (with the triangle) has piano key-style decor on her clothes, reflecting on Kimber being the keyboardist for the Holograms. And Derpy's wrap-dress in this scene is similar to Jem's usual wardrobe. "Tricks Up My Sleeve", the song Trixie and the Illusions perform, notably uses the famous Transformers transforming sound effect, best heard on the official soundtrack. Speaking of Transformers, there would be some serious questions about Vinyl's Bassmobile if Hasbro didn't own the copyright already. The Final Battle between the Dazzlings and the Rainbooms plays out like the "Amp vs. Amp" battle from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Also during the Final Battle there is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it reference. The Dazzlings gems glow and red ribbons engulf their bodies, reminiscent of the transformations from Sailor Moon. The Dazzlings' verses during the final concert are similar to "Alejandro" by Lady Gaga. |

Rage Breaking Point |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_c819533b |
comment |
Rage Breaking Point: Very nearly subverted. Sunset is put through a lot over the course of the film, being outcasted from the student body, constantly given dirty looks, and having her friends constantly bring up her past as a villain. After she tackles Rainbow to stop her from showing her magic in the semi-finals, she is yelled at by both the crowd and her friends. The last straw is when Trixie says her favorite part was when Sunset tackled Rainbow in a fit of jealous rage, causing Sunset to glare at her and loudly shout that it wasn't a "fit of jealous rage" before quickly getting herself together. It is quick, but Trixie is shown to cower under her for a second. |

comment |
Many viewers have also observed that the Rainbooms' songs, while not bad at all, are not on par with the Dazzlings', right up until Sunset picks up the mic. This is probably intentional, as a reflection of the Dazzlings being two steps ahead of the Rainbooms for most of the movie, and generally much better at this Magic Music thing. |

This time, nothing happens. |

Musical Pastiche |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_cb092754 |
comment |
Musical Pastiche: Like the "Cafeteria Song" from the previous movie, the opening theme "Rainbow Rocks" begins with a drum intro similar to Queen's "We Will Rock You". Trixie's "Tricks Up My Sleeve" is sung in a style resembling early Britney Spears. The "Hey! Hey!" refrain in "Awesome as I Wanna Be" seems to be paying homage both to the Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop" and Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend". "Shake Your Tail!" borrows the phrase "ignite the light" from Katy Perry's "Firework". Similarly, "the light that ignites" appears in "Shine Like Rainbows", and Sunset's part of "Welcome to the Show" references "Part of Me". Most of the Dazzlings' and the Rainbooms' songs are pastiches of middle-of-the-road Girl Group songs, with the Dazzlings leaning more towards Trance and the Rainbooms favoring Power Pop. |

| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_cd3a9a0f |

Only One Finds It Fun: During Snips and Snails' poorly made freestyle rap, Pinkie and Sonata are the only ones enjoying it. When the Rainbooms' "Shake Your Tail" number begins to fall apart, Pinkie is the only one still having fun, while Rainbow just becomes mildly confused at what's going on. Because of the Dazzlings' spell, Celestia and Luna are shown clapping happily at the performance, while the rest of the students present just found the performance boring or tried to sabotage it. Rainbow is the only one having fun during her "Awesome as I Wanna Be" number, as the rest of the Rainbooms are showing either disdain, annoyance, and outrage at her always hogging the spotlight. |

Musical World Hypotheses: Of the diegetic type. All of the songs (save for the opening credits) are shown as performed by the various bands, with some songs also showing other scenes (both real within the fictional aspect, or the proverbial Battle of the Bands shots) alongside the band performing. Perhaps the most extreme example is the song Sunset Shimmer performs as she and the Rainbooms finally defeat the Dazzlings. Considering the personal nature of the lyrics, it could only have been performed on the spot. |

Feedback Rule |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_cecce86 |
comment |
Feedback Rule: The first attempt at a counterspell song has lots of feedback during the Rainbooms' rehearsal, adding to the overall awfulness of it. When Snips drops the microphone at the end of his and Snails' rap, a loud feedback sound is heard, forcing all the Rainbooms to cover their ears. This doesn't gain the boys any point with the Principals. When Rainbow Dash is testing the microphone on the stage for the upcoming concert, on her second try Sunset Shimmer has unthinkingly raised the volume to the max, causing yet another ear-splitting feedback. |

Big "SHUT UP!": Sunset Shimmer yelling "STOP! YOU HAVE TO STOP!" at the bickering Rainbooms while their magic is getting drained by the Dazzlings. Somewhat mirrors Twilight's use of the same trope in the first movie. |

Failed Attempt at Drama |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_d9563969 |
comment |
Failed Attempt at Drama: Adagio regularly indulges in some dramatic evil gloating... only to have Sonata ruin it about every time by spouting something stupid. Twilight and friends' first attempt at invoking the Magic of Friendship is a drawn-out example. Even the music is on it, rising dramatically as they lock hands together and Twilight exclaims "Friendship is magic!"... and then puttering out as nothing happen, and everybody look at them like they're crazy. And of course, there are Trixie's attempts at dramatic exits with a Smoke Out, followed by Pinkie locating her. The second time, she even slips and falls behind the bleachers. |

Sunset Shimmer is the Seventh Ranger and The Old Guy, not because she's older than they are (even if she is), but because of her experiences (although it's ambiguous how old Sunset actually is, she manifests in the human world as a teenage girl like the other members of the Equestria Girls). |

Great Balls of Fire!: Trixie and the Illusions' rendition of "Tricks Up My Sleeve" ends up with green fireworks firing from the stage (even better, they do look like they come from Trixie herself). The Dazzlings and the Rainbooms fighting a Battle of the Bands results in quite the impressive light show, but here they're using real magic and not just pyrotechnics. |

Hand Wave: Pony Applejack Lampshades a possible Plot Hole in the Sirens' Backstory — "But Star Swirl must have sent them there ages ago. How come they're just surfacing now?" — to which Twilight simply says she doesn't know and moves on. The opening scene from the Sirens' perspective shows that the events of the first movie brought some Equestrian magic to Earth, and the Sirens hope to use it to restore their full power. The main characters never learn this particular detail. |

Decoy Protagonist: Twilight herself edges on this trope. While she definitely plays an important role in the plot, she's mostly brought on-board to help the Equestria Girls defeat the Dazzlings. In terms of actual story and character development, the film has a stronger focus on Sunset Shimmer than Twilight. During the climax, Twilight proves ineffective for diffusing the group's tensions and defeating the Dazzlings; it's Sunset who actually saves the day on both counts. |

They also manage to sabotage the mane characters' plans so that they argue and generate further negative emotions for the Dazzlings to feed on. In their backstory as told by Twilight Sparkle, she describes this as their modus operandi, even dropping the trope name. |

This Is the Final Battle |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_ea2a808a |
comment |
This Is the Final Battle: Twilight confidently tells the Dazzlings that "There isn't going to be a battle of the bands! We're gonna make sure of that." Of course, since this is only half an hour into the movie, she's wrong. |

Five-Man Band Concert |
| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_ec97c2ee |
comment |
Five-Man Band Concert: The Movie's entire premise is this trope, complete with prelude shorts. Long story short, the villains turn the Canterlot High talent show into a vicious Battle of the Bands. Since they are not affected by the evil spell, "The Rainbooms" team up to stop "The Dazzlings" — Twilight Sparkle will write the counterspell while the rest will enter the show as a competing band to buy time for her. Rainbow Dash is the vocalist and guitarist, Applejack is the bassist, Rarity plays the keytar, Fluttershy is on the tambourine, and Pinkie Pie is on the drums. For this, they perform "Awesome as I Wanna Be". Later, they reunite to cast the musical counterspell together by performing together. Here, they are joined by Sunset Shimmer as the guitarist and Twilight Sparkle as the vocalist. Sunset Shimmer becomes the lead singer after they are temporarily defeated by The Dazzlings. |

Match Cut: Toward the end of "Let's Have a Battle (of the Bands)", we see several students in a succession of Hard Cuts (Trixie, Thunderbass, Snips, Octavia, Watermelody, Normal Norman and Diamond Tiara), each in a position matching the preceding one, thus giving the impression of one continuous movement. |

"I Am Becoming" Song: The Rainbooms' portion of "Welcome to the Show" — specifically the song Fluttershy wrote, which plays right when the band interrupts the Dazzlings — is about them finding their true selves and learning to "break out" and "set themselves apart". |

Dark Reprise: The B-section of "Battle" is an Evil Counterpart to the "Cafeteria Song" from the first film, which gets an even darker arrangement in the Dazzlings' part of "Welcome to the Show". After the Dazzlings have been defeated and their gem pendants have been destroyed, thus rendering them powerless, they attempt to sing the "We will be adored..." part of "Welcome to the Show" again, but they sing horribly and are booed off the stage. |

| | My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks / int_f4247ec |
comment |
Heroism Motive Speech: Sunset gets two. The first when she realizes it is her place to step in and help the girls stop bickering and resolve their issues. The second comes in song when she joins the Final Battle with the Dazzlings, announcing she's not going to let herself be beaten down when she's trying to change. This leads to her gaining a hybrid form of her own. |

comment |
Darkest Hour: With the Dazzlings having secured their victory since the first 10 minutes of the movie and remaining on top ever since, and the Rainbooms plus Sunset Shimmer just barely keeping up, it was already looking pretty grim. Then the Dazzlings have our heroines trapped during the finals of the battle of the bands, causing strife and tensions to tear them apart, giving the villains a chance to absorb their corrupted magic to regain their own. If not for Sunset snapping them out of their funk, and Spike fetching DJ PON-3 to help them, the ending would have been vastly darker. |

Running Gag: The girls (and later Twilight) ramble on about issues with the Dazzlings, and comment on how a demon took over the school last time, forgetting that Sunset is standing right next to them. Apologies are quickly offered. Rainbow Dash calling the Rainbooms "my band", eliciting progressively more annoyed reactions from her bandmates. Trixie's ninja-smoke-bomb disappearing gag. Having one girl getting something smeared on her face or clothes, and another subsequently wiping it off, happens a few times (as remarked in the DVD Commentary).invoked |

Thrown Down a Well: Just before the final battle, the Rainbooms and Sunset are thrown down a stage trap into a locked room, where their tensions that have been building throughout the film come to a boil, fueling the Dazzlings with enough negative emotional energy to reach full power. Fortunately, Sunset is able to resolve their argument, and Spike, who avoided the trapdoor, fetches DJ Pon-3 to rescue them. |

Brick Joke: Before the girls meet the Dazzlings, Sunset Shimmer mentions something "off" about them, and Pinkie Pie starts questioning what she means. Then, after the trio bursts into the cafeteria and hypnotizes the rest of the student body in a sultry manner, Pinkie is the first to speak: During their talk about reaching Princess Twilight, Rainbow Dash assesses they wouldn't most likely have cellphones where she's from. A little later in Equestria, the book where their message appears in is seen glowing and vibrating just like one. Twilight meeting Pinkie in the first film sets up The Stinger; see Call-Back below. |

Innocently Insensitive: Rarity lampshades the crush Flash has on Twilight while Sunset, his ex, is in the same room. To her credit, she is quick to realize this and apologize. Referring back to the last time the Equestria Girls defeated an evil and nasty creature from Equestria becomes something of a Running Gag. Oh, er, no offense, Sunset Shimmer. By the time Twilight references the incident, Sunset just rolls with it and says she's used to it. |

The "Guitar Centered" short and the movie itself depict all kinds of electric guitars instead of reusing the same stock electric guitar model. Trixie and Sunset Shimmer in the movie play Flying Vs, Rainbow Dash used to play a semi-acoustic (but her new guitar is an Ibanez similar to a Strat), and Flash Sentry plays a non-reverse Gibson Firebird. The guitar shop itself has all sorts of electric guitars and other instruments with recognizable real-life counterparts. |
