There is an extra side-story, involving the captain of the ship and his son. Part of the plot reminded me of The Poseidon Adventure (1974), too. I noticed a few things in this film, that reminded me of other movies. It is even more evident, when the New York City police are inspecting the ship, that ran aground, full of corpses, just like in the different depictions of Dracula. Having Jason preying on the people on the ship, like Bela Lugosi in Dracula (1931) or Max Schreck in Nosferatu (1922), has an interesting similarity. Jason makes it to New York City with 30 minutes left in the movie.The basic plot, especially the scenes on the ship, in some ways, reminds me of Bram Stoker's story about Dracula. For a majority of the film, we are on the cruise to hell, while Jason chases after graduating students from Lakeview High. The ship then looks like it is cruising over Lake Michigan in a brutal storm, which I guess is supposed to be the Atlantic Ocean. So, in the original film, Camp Crystal Lake was located in New Jersey and was big enough to be an over-sized pond, but in this film, it has room for a 20 foot boat and a river big enough for that boat to float upstream to Iceland (subbing for Canada), it looks like, where Jason hitches a ride on a mini-cruise ship, bound for New York. And, after a couple movies, it turns out Jason can be woken up by electricity, but only on Friday the 13th, yeah, ok. Camp Crystal Lake is now big enough for 20 foot boats. The time when the parody replaced the horror film. We come to the campiest part of the series. I’m Penny Wrights and I have some Borris Karloff movies to binge watch.So, eight movies into this franchise and I keep forgetting that these films were originally released by Paramount Pictures, who's logo comes up in the beginning of each film. She may not be the main focus of the EqG series, but she added a grounded feel to the characters that Applejack can’t always do. Even adding little details to the human design like the glasses and having her hair up all the time cements her character as the nerd type, which is usually my favorite type of characters. She doesn’t have as many striking differences as the human and demi-god versions of Celestia, but I think making her more into science than the pony version being into magic, it makes a good transition. We get her freak outs and obsession with studying in this human Twilight along with her having her cute moments as well. But I’m glad they made her more of the booksmart character Twilight originally was in the first couple seasons. Celestia knows how confusing that would’ve been at the end of Friendship Games. In the beginning, I was worried how they were gonna do another Twilight since the pony one we know is already known by the human characters and would just be confusing to have her be the exact same person. Oh wait, that's been done by Micro Chips already.Īnd that was Mad Twience, a look into the science driven mind of our semi-lead character with some great music and a cute, but twisted video. That, or make sure you don’t make a mad scientist angry or she’ll send her robot toaster to attack you. To give this music video a moral, it would be expressing the wonders of science and all that can be created with some hard work. And what more to cement that this is a completely different version of Purple Smart than showing her obsessed with science instead of magic in a catchy music video. I probably wasn’t too keen on another Twilight, but since we can’t have a princess coming and going into the human world with her only chaperone being a baby dragon turned puppy, the show gave us Twilight Sparkle, anti-social nerd turned nerd…but with friends now. With all the jokes of Twilight Sparkle cloning herself into copies named Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer (the names being celestial occurrences mixed with shiny adjectives don’t help) we seem to forget we got our actual Twilight clone in the form of an ending credit scene from Rainbow Rocks.
