Equestria Girls is pretty fun, yeah. Honestly, while the later entries may have better stories and animation, they don't have nearly as many horse shenanigans, so the first will always have a place in my heart.
A funny thing about you watching it after watching seven seasons of FiM is that you know for a fact that Flash Sentry is not a factor at all in Twilight's life. But we didn't know that when the movie came out! So a lot of the reaction to the movie at the time was "oh god is this guy really going to be Twilight's permanent love interest?" Without that factor, you can see him as the silly way to get in a high school movie cliche that he is.
If you're watching Rainbow Rocks next, then remember to watch the prequel shorts before it and the encore shorts after (especially the encore shorts!). You'll miss out on a full five songs otherwise.
hell yeah! we intend to watch all the shorts and all that. And yeah, Flash Sentry initially seemed mega boring but knowing that he had NO influence on the series was really funny considering how much they play up Twilight crushing. I think EQG is really fun when you just embrace the super corny high school cliche stuff! The thing that won me over for him was just seeing him see Twilight do weird horse girl shit and go "okay i can fuck w that" and join her, even if i know he's not relevant thats super funny, charmed me over to the dude. poor Flash though like every girl he tries to get with is like 27 and also a fucking actual horse
