For example, in one fanfic, he fires a rocket launcher, and in another one, he’s a Power Ranger.

Also, Kari has an unstereotypical love of firearms and destroying cars, and I’ve read fanfictions where Sandalwood is similarly unstereotypical.

For one, Kari is a California vegetarian, and Sandalwood is a hippie.

Kari Byron: I had originally chosen Sweetie Drops as Kari just because I wanted to keep the Build Team’s guy to girl ratio the same as the original show, but after some further consideration, I realized that Sandalwood would be a better choice. I don’t think I need to explain this one. To me, those characteristics just scream Tory. Furthermore, fanfiction tends to portray Flash as having the ability to withstand a lot of abuse and a willingness to put himself in harm’s way. Likewise, Flash has taken quite a bit of abuse from the fandom. On MythBusters, Tory is known for arguably three things, which are getting hurt, volunteering for dangerous stunts, and doing a lot of the heavy building. Granted, he’s a lively and kooky nerd but still a nerd. Between the two of them, Twilight is a bigger nerd, and Adam is a huge nerd. Now that I think about it though, Twilight kind of edges out over Pinkie Pie. Plus, her magic power is literally making stuff explode, so she wouldn’t really be out of place as a MythBuster. However, Pinkie Pie is funnier, more excitable, and more animated. More importantly, out of all the girls, Twilight is the one who is most often paired and contrasted with Sunset, similar to how Adam and Jamie contrast each other. On one hand, Twilight loves science, has a strong natural curiosity, and has had her fair share of science-related and curiosity-related mishaps (granted her first one wasn’t very funny). Similarly, Sunset is also rather mythical and multi-talented, which isn’t hard when one is a former unicorn with talents in math, science, motocross, art, fencing, and gaming.Īdam Savage: The Equestria Girls casting for Adam is honestly a bit of a toss up between Twilight Sparkle (SciTwi) and Pinkie Pie. Some of his listed accomplishments include hitchhiking across the States, a degree in Russian linguistics, boating, scuba diving, and wilderness survival. Based on what I was able to find on the internet, jokes aside, Jamie truly is a bit of jack of all trades in real life. If Adam Savage is to be believed, Jamie was in the mob, is an alien, is a robot, and/or is thousands of years old. There is also one other reason why I think Sunset would make a good Jamie.As I mentioned above, Jamie as a MythBuster is considered to be rather mythical. Case in point, please observe this quote from the Ninja Special: “Come, Silent Walrus! Let us storm the castle!” If that episode was redone with my cast, the only thing different about that quote would be that “Walrus” would be replaced with “Bacon.” Similarly, Jamie’s facial hair is famous for giving him the appearance of a walrus, which Adam has repeatedly made fun of him for on the show. Sunset is famous in the brony fandom for having what almost everyone has dubbed “bacon hair.” Apparently, the red and yellow stripes and the wavy appearance gives Sunset’s hair an uncanny resemblance to cartoon bacon. I’ll be honest, the main reason why I casted Sunset as Jamie is her hair. Anyway, my Equestria Girls casting choice for Jamie Hyneman is, drumroll please, SUNSET SHIMMER!

Jamie Hyneman: Okay, I’m starting with Jamie because he is arguably the most iconic and mythical MythBuster and because I’m slightly conflicted over who to cast as Adam. So, without further ado, here is the possible cast for MythBusters EG. The revival got me thinking, “If I could crossover Equestria Girls with MythBusters, who would I cast as who and why?” The following probably isn’t going result in the creation of a fanfiction because MythBusters doesn’t really have a narrative and is best communicated through a script format, which is against FIMfiction rules. The dog was also an adorable if pointless addition. Other than the new hosts and the updated graphics and opening sequence, the show is pretty much everything that I’ve learned to expect from from the old incarnation, science, engineering, and explosions. So, I recently got into the new MythBusters revival.
