I'm on a phone at the moment, so I can't really reply as well as I'd like to either Koda or Nikki... I'll just say that where you guys see "What's the point?", I'm seeing "What's the harm?"... if that makes sense.
Agree to disagree, you know?

There wouldn't be any harm.....if the film has an effect on the main show. Unless they like destroy the portal at the end of the film, if the film ends with the portal intact, this film's events have to have an effect on the show. I mean they can't just ignore a trans-dimensional portal like that for crying out loud.

The chance to spin off into a seperate seres, which it has already been said will be seperate from FiM Season 4.
This could be (not counting quality or lacktherof) the DS9 to FiM's TNG...the Angel to its Buffy...the Jeffersons to its All in the Family. The She-Ra to its He-man.
You get the idea.

The harm to me is that the high-school setting actually limits a lot of storytelling opportunities. That's why Equestria works so well as a wide-open sandbox. I've said it before, the vague age of the Mane six makes it easier to write stories because you don't have the age-frame of high school. I'm hoping this is a one-and-done deal for that reason alone.

It still has to effect the main show, imo. Just creating a spin-off doesn't allow them to handwave the "hey we got this portal into a parallel dimension" thing. Unless of course the portal is destroyed. It really all comes down to that portal's fate. The events of the film actually mean little to me beyond the fate of that damned portal. If the portal lives, then I think they have to acknowledge the events of the film at some point in the main show. Like I said, they can't just ignore the ramifications of the portal living. If the portal dies, then no big deal. Really, the portal is the most important character in this film.

Speaking of the portal.

I think there will be two lingering effects of this thing that will provide the main story arcs for FiM Season 4: 1. The fate (and rehabilitation?) of Sunset Shimmer: Clearly there's something big going down with her and the crown thingy in the trailer, and with the rumoured backstory of her being a past student of Celestia's (perhaps being driven mad by being stranded in the human universe and thus realising that being feared is more worthwhile than being befriended), maybe she comes back to the pony universe and gets mentored by Twilight Sparkle as a way to try and set things right. ...and... 2. The mystery boy: I think that this could lead to Twilight spending some of the season trying to find the pony proxy of the boy she befriends as a human... Perhaps to be the prince to her princess, even. Yeah, I know it's cliche and girly as all hell, but who are we deny Twilight love just because it doesn't fit our ideal vision of the show?

Lightning Dust has a cool mane, its a shame she isn't a very nice pony, but one who should return. *hops in and hangs on* Nite, everyone!

Nothing like tea to calm frazzled nerves. It almost makes me forget the shitty day I've had.

In other words, the portal means nothing if true.

Twilight getting hitched would probably be the only way the show could cause a fan backlash that remotely reaches the height that Twilicorn got. And I'm being serious with that, despite the emoticon. A lot of shippers take their ships seriously. They'll do whatever they can to cling to their ships, despite canonical opposition to said ships. It'll be a sadder display than when everyone tried to save the Derpy and Dinky mother/daughter relationship prior to the Cake Twins being born. Also, I'll be honest, I don't want "Brad" to become Twilight's mate simply because I don't want another prominent blue maned male character. Think about it, all of the "respectable" stallions, save for Filthy Rich and Big Mac, have a blue mane. Soarin', Fancy Pants, Shining Armor. All blue manes.

In other words, the portal means nothing if true. Then the film is utterly pointless, imo. If they want to create an EG film, by all means, do it, just don't have things that should tie in to the main show and then don't have the film's events tie into the main show. In other words, have the EG film, just don't have Pony Twilight go through a portal from the main show's world to this other world that supposedly has no bearing on the main show at all.

I'll just wait to see how Equestria Girls plays out and what happens with it before I judge if it was worthless or not.
