IDW Comics - Story Discussion (Spoilers)

@Phoenixflambe  
No reason they couldn’t introduce parrot #6 in the comic.

So what are everybody’s thoughts on the Diamond Dogs and Abyssnian arcs? I haven’t read them yet but are still worthy of being called Season 10?

@DoctorWTF  
Maybe that parrot was her first first mate before they attempted mutiny and was kicked out of the crew and made Mullet her new first mate.
 
@Red-Supernova  
Barely OK, I would say. It could’ve been better but is good enough. As a whole, I’ll still say season 10 while average is many times better than season 9. Season 9 is what finally broke me.

@Phoenixflambe  
I am not surprised. So far I’ve read Zecora’s arc which I thought was fine. I’m fine with original characters for the comics and all. Maybe we’re all embittered because we expected too much from a kids show?

@Red-Supernova  
Definitely.

@Phoenixflambe  
I can’t decide if we are to blame or the writers are to blame.

@Red-Supernova  
I can’t imagine how you’d blame people who aren’t in charge of the material and constantly get told they have no say in the matter.

@Phoenixflambe  

 
Or something. So far, the Element of Magic for each new tree has been a literal magic user of some sort (such as Zecora with her alchemy expertise). None of the pirates displayed any knowledge of any form of magic, so I’m guessing the new parrot will have some magical background from somewhere.

@DoctorWTF  
I was thinking Celaeno since she’s the captain.

@Phoenixflambe  
Agreed.

Thoughts:
 
Figured that it was gonna end eventually, though i definitely could see a G5 comicline after Generations.  
Although, i think a idea would be to make a multiverse for MLP consisting of G1, G3, G4 and G5. After all, G1 and G3 are still alive thanks to the fans, so, why not?

Who are the Knights of Order supposed to be again?
 
Also this “season 10” didn;t really seem to amount to much other then “different species get their own version fo the mane 6”.

@ichiban iceychan 1517
 
Jeremy Whitley is the writer, so it’s pretty much 100% certain that they’re OCs with unique designs and broken-ass abilities.

@Background Pony #174F  
Isn’t g3 terrible and dead?
 
@ichiban iceychan 1517  
Definitely new characters, or as someone speculated, someone we should know. Not a big fan of them already.
 
Edit: Also it wasn’t ‘Order’ before but it makes more sense if it’s also obedience of order.

@Phoenixflambe  
Who is this, “someone we should know”?

@Wiimeiser  
According to that someone, it’s possibly the g1 ponies

@Phoenixflambe  
Woo, boy.

cover for 102  
The synopsis states it’s a season finale. Does this mean we’ll see spinoffs related to G4?

@Background Pony #F850  
Only one final generation crossover.

@Phoenixflambe  
It was stated that “we have many more adventures in store”, which might possibly imply that they’re at least considering more mini-series and/or crossovers after that one, maybe. The fandom being what it is, it wouldn’t make much sense for them to write off G4 altogether. We’ll see what they do as G5 gets going.

@DoctorWTF  
True.

@DoctorWTF  
Time will tell. Not that I don’t like g5 but I’m definitely gonna miss g4

@Phoenixflambe  
G4 will always live on, after all, it has a cult following.
