End of the Month Blog · 3:21pm Jul 31st, 2017

Much has happened throughout this month, so much so that it's hard for me to keep count. But I certainly know the top contender for worst movie of the year, hint hint.

Anyway, with "In Search of Sunset: The Mysterious Island" finishing off on a ratio of six to one, some of you have asked whether I would make a sequel.

Yes. Two in fact, but let me do some of my other works first before doing so.

Anyway...

The first of which, currently under "Monsters of Everfree," would introduce us to Kong. But in a departure from most canon, Kong isn't one of the monsters Celestia and Starswirl banished, nor is he a native to the island our heroines sailed to find Sunset.

After careful thinking, Kong is instead an experiment like the DC antagonist Titano in the New 52 sense. After discovering a new compound labeled "Regenerator G-1," obviously the time came to experiment. When many adult animals did not survive, the time came to use adolescents including the young gorilla.

If we have achieved real life experiments described in the video below and even breed small horses/dogs and large cats/rabbits

So too can we do the same to the great ape known as Kong.

Eventually, he would escape and live his growing life in Camp Everfree (One Idea to show that is to have a much younger Luna discover Kong on accident).

Kong's dilemma in the time the movie takes place would be where Sunset's empathy would be a lot more emotional.

Take this scene for instance,

Sure, applying empathy to us is easy to bear, for we can talk it over anytime. But to a creature who was taken from his mother, his homeland, experimented on, shivering in a cage all those years, all without even crying for help...

With the idea of "Regenerator G-1," I can actually present a new origin story for Gloriosa, one a keen Godzilla fan will recognize. Killed just before Timber Spruce was born, their father, a scientist who worked at the facility after Kong's escape and seeing the potential, took a sample of his daughter's DNA and applied it to the compound. Alas when he was caught with classified material, the samples were contaminated with the touch of a rose petal.

A couple years later on a hiking trip, Timber and his mother found the little, lost girl. Seeing how familiar she is (her husband was doing this in secret), she took in the child and called her Gloriosa Daisy (the human side of her was under a different name).

Several years pass and the two have become the managers of Camp Everfree, and a while after "Friendship Games" and the aforementioned story, Gloriosa would discover the gems and use them to benefit the camp. Chief among them is bringing forth the Zap Apple; a tourist attraction for everyone, but when one fruit falls and is consumed by bacteria and flies and affects them,

can

their

predators

To say a few, but the Zap Apple did give a blessing; consuming them in bulk gave Kong the ability to generate and use electricty as he has done in the original "Kong vs Godzilla."

But as military action against the escaped gorilla threatens to close down Camp Everfree, Gloriosa would have none of this and grabs the last two gems. The magic affecting the compound inside her, the change isn't magical, but biological.

She wouldn't be this,

Rather,

Indeed a more formidable foe than what we got in the movie, and certainly a more tragic ending for her.

The second story, a probable swan song for me, pulls off all the stops in combining my newfound brony self with my movie monster roots before moving on to my career as an animation artist, where my work schedule would keep me out of the loop should the show continue on to the future or even a successor G5 series.

Equestria Girls: King of the Monsters

The Rainbooms are just about to graduate, and, with no monsters or magic disasters, decide to take their victory to the Hawaiian Islands while the Crusaders, now cleared of their crime, take care of a growing Anguirus (who was in the egg mentioned in the last chapter.)

But danger is not far from them, and one-half of the happy soon-to-be graduates get captured on the way to a remote island midflight by Rodan

The following evening, Godzilla comes to shore, walks through the town and takes his continuing fight to Rodan, ending in a tie.

A day later, the Shobijin arrive to warn the Rainbooms of an impending danger and to help bring back an egg laid by an aged Mothra. Though there is an argument, the Rainbooms convince them that the egg is better off safe with them as they evacuate to the mainland by boat (Rodan's attacks prior and what is shown on the news has made all flights grounded).

But the vessel the Rainbooms boarded and is dragging the egg in tow is intercepted by Godzilla. Even with their new powers, they can do nothing against the King (hell last night, Rainbow Dash made her first Sonic Rainboom just to fly away from Rodan). Faced with this, the Shobijin sing and prematurely hatch the egg, revealing two larvae (which surprises even them, for the death and birth of Mothra is what gives her a godlike sense).

As the larvae make a break for it, the real danger arrives and almost kills one of them when Godzilla intervenes. By being revived by Sonata Dusk, Ghidorah is deprived of flight and too weak to use his infamous gravity beams. Nonetheless, he is able to take down Godzilla and swims to the mainland, starting a rampage through Panama, through the Gulf of Mexico and traveling up the Missisipi.

Recovered from his wounds, and incredibly pissed off, Godzilla makes his to the mainland, walking through the Rockies. By then, he encounters Anguirus and the two fight an equal match. Though he would just as well kill the spiked dinosaur, such would delay him from his mission, and so Godzilla continues on.

Following a one sided fight against Kong, Ghidorah has just enough of his dilemma and so in a burst of fire, becomes King Ghidorah.

Arriving in the nick of time, The Rainbooms try their hand to stop King Ghidorah and they seem to have a winning streak before something affects them, especially Sunset. With a coy look, and sensing her potential, the dragon leans down and actually lets Sunset touch him.

Some of us have discussed whether or not Equestria is a post Earth like what happened in "Adventure Time"

That alone is the perfect opportunity to explain Ghidorah's origin without being controlled by a third party. In his first appearance, he destroyed life on Mars/Venus and in Rebirth of Mothra 3, he wiped the dinosaurs. And so it makes sense that he was a cosmic beast with his sights on Earth, wiping humanity clean from the face of the Earth. But the spirit of humanity lives on and soon, without any memory of their past lives, manifest themselves as sapient animals, especially equids. With Celestia, Luna, Starswirl and Discord (prior to his brief reign before becoming stone), depowered King Ghidorah and sent him all the other "Omegafauna" away to a past Earth under a veil of fog.

As Ghidorah continues his reign of terror again, the Rainbooms face their biggest dilemma. A couple suggest they get everyone through the portal, but then the balance would be destroyed. Eventually, it is concluded that Sunset leaving Equestria is what will save the earth and destroying King Ghidorah will have to be so. With the help of the Shobijin, they bring all the monsters together, Godzilla and Rodan being the final ones to arrive while the Rainbooms deal with Sonata.

Then comes the rub: Did they save the Earth at the cost of Equestria and Sunset, or did they prolong the inevitable?

Time is a river and abhors any paradoxes.

In the meantime, here are some of the new EG shorts released so far. Either they improved the rigs, or they started using Toon Boom (The way the hair bounces and some scenes in the Fall Formal are giving me clues). Either way, I have a better reference should I decide to remake the "Freshman Girl" TB rig.
