Andy mentioning just how tired he’s getting with the constant so-called “canon debates”.
everything is canon until the show contradicts!
Price, you’ve never watched the show in your life, have you?
add the now they ruined Discord in the last arc
Yes, so you remember to watch cartoon TV shows for 22 minutes, if, at the time of watching the comics are different time levels, they, they hate to read comics, position problems, and draw different roles in art, so it is difficult to say.
Edited
no. there is no right or wrong way to like something.
It’s 8, going on 9, seasons with dozens of writers and side material, so people are going to trip over each other at some point.
This.
@Minus
Also this. The comics still run with Dragon Town. Doubtful the show will ever pick that up. Not that I’d want it to…

wowza. so everything past Season 2 is non-canonical? even The Dazzlings and our adorable little Glim Glam are non-canon as well?? DAYUM!
is Sombra coming back or not?
The second thing you listed. In the IDW Power Ponies comic, there was a controversial cameo. An OC (not a pony but some other kind of animal) was included in the background of a panel (in the Hall of Heroes apparently).
The OC was by someone that hated Bronies. I remember the guy that did that comic got a lot of hate for it. They might have even edited it out in future digital versions of the comic.
No I can excuse that one due to being explained.
But I am talking about how any time there’s a new villain she’s always the first to be pushed aside, up to and including when a ‘villain’ is just a blizzard.
You mean that time, Chrysalis bragged about now being “stronger then Celestia” and fans twisted this to mean that Celestia is weak?
And you have to be overpowered by the enemy much then just once to be “worfed”.
Edited
That still leaves the other times Celestia’s been worfed though.
Those were vines deliberately made to trap alicorns created by Discord himself. Celestia & Luna were likely captured the same way that Twilight was knocked out later in the episode. Mere deer shouldn’t match Discord, the embodiment of chaos.
Disregarding Celestia’s general incompetence and worfing, Princess Twilight Sparkle (the episode) established that this is indeed the case.
I can’t recall who this is, but we are talking about a cast that pals with Glimmer.
Twilight does have a history of arbitrary Lawful Good shenanigans. Like when one of her friends traded her other friend for a dog, anytime the Flim Flams (or that one time with Iron Will), or the head a school oversight committee repeatingly overruling her, etc. Despite being one of the 4 highest authorities in the land she only shrugged and threw her hands up.
In all 3 episodes Chrysalis has appeared in she’s shown a surprising amount of guile and competence only undone when she lets her ego get ahead of herself. So yes she can do a prison break.
Right up there in the tweet. Comics et al are B canon.
I would think after the dozenth ‘Dash learns to get over herself’ or ‘Fluttershy learns to grow a backbone’ or ‘They leave the Elements behind when off to face evil’ episode this would’ve been made clear.
Does this mean that canonically Princess Celestia is so stupid and incompetent she can’t get out of vines even using her power to turn into fire that was established in another comic which she never ever uses in the show?
Does this mean that canonically the Power ponies hall of heroes has a KillAllmen feminist that they regard as an actual hero?
Or that Canonically Twilight would sit back and let her friends be physically assaulted because she wouldn’t use her on equestrian citizens?
Or that Chrysalis escaped pony Alcatraz despite not being able to do anything else right? And naturally no one would ever mention that.
Also why dont the ponies reference some of the canon things that happened in the comic? Why do they keep acting like all the developments and changes in the comics didn’t actually happen?
Thats just off the top of my head, if the comics are canon then I must come to the conclusion that most of the cast are fucking morons who keep forgetting things
What we now have, unfortunately, is a divided fanbase regarding what we’d really like to see as either canon or not out of the mountain of contradictory content we’ve been given.
My personal view on the subject is that anything that happens, or is referenced as having happened, in the show itself is canon unless said event contradicts a previous one with more established in-universe support. Barring this, confirmation from the show staff is sufficient.
This means that EqG is definable as canon, anything we’ve learned about the Sisters and Starswirl in-show is canon, etc. Contextually, an episode like 28 Pranks Later can be seen as non-canon as it’s events make little sense (Rainbow would never prank Fluttershy like that) and have never been mentioned since.
I would like to clarify, however, before someone tells me that I’m wrong for one reason or another, that this is exclusively my own metric. I feel it’s a good one, but I realize not everyone will agree.
