IDW Comics - Story Discussion (Spoilers)

@Phoenixflambe
I agree.

It didn’t really help that she was basically the main character in the rather unpopular Accord story line and the one who saved the day by talking down Accord instead of Fluttershy.

@Anon-a-Miss
I wonder if this was why she didn’t appear until Generations?

@Background Pony #114F
One of the reasons. That and she was quite unpopular cause her flaws outshine her pros.

@Anon-a-Miss
Fluttershy was brainwashed so she couldn’t anyway and honestly would Accord even feel more bad than Discord knowing that one, he brainwashed her like she was nothing to him and two, if Accord even had empathy or feelings to begin with. Thinking about it, Accord would really jump the Knights of Harmony/Order and perhaps even join them.

@Phoenixflambe
That’s a good point, too.

@CORDZ2000
Yeah but that was years ago, are you telling me they had cold feet for years on showing or having a plot about her or going on an adventure with the others?

@Anon-a-Miss
And was the one who first thought something was wrong with Accord and console Celestia of the situation.

Yes.

So regarding the pre-ornithian stories, what are the actual values and elements in place of Harmony? Since there’s Family, History and Purpose, it’s not exactly Harmony with what it already is represented by.

And asking the reverse for my compilation image, what element of love corresponds with Harmkny’s?

@Phoenixflambe
That’s a good question, though the bigger question is, What’s Harmkny?

@Background Pony #A464
Friendship in layman’s term. But in FIM consisted of Magic, Laughter, Honesty, Kindness, Loyalty and Generosity.

I do suppose the elements of Love do glow a familiar colour. But me being dumb, I’ve no clue on their correlation to Harmony.

So, question:
Since it seems Image might replace IDW (https://bleedingcool.com/comics/image-comics-the-new-publishers-of-transformers-and-gi-joe/), do you think Generations might be a final hurrah or will there be another miniseries?

@Background Pony #899F
I’m not even positive that there’s any proof the IP ownership has been replaced just because Image comics take over boy franchises like Transformers and GI Joe. I do remember they published Evil Dead.

Soooo….

Yay or Nay?

A lot of people here and EQD are apparently Nay.

I already said nay. MLP’s Best comics in the last few years were the Transformers crossovers, and they’re losing that license. Otherwise a lot of their comics have been incredibly spotty, with very poor direction and writing, and I don’t see that improving under IDW any time soon

Also the way they say “ditches” like they’re proud that they’re losing those licenses is a really dumbass take

@Kiryu-Chan
We shall wait and see. But I suppose Chrysalis being released is a cliffhanger no more and maybe they’ll get the redemption the show didn’t give which would ironically make the infamous ‘Fix’ canon and finally use Grogar for real this time. Since I’m a enjoyer of comics, I suppose additional things they could do is to build up more on those comic exclusive characters seeing that JW or not, they have little character and are easily forgettable. That or they only can make g5 comics.

@Phoenixflambe
I guess rebooting the TF comics didnt end well, uh?

@RogueBadnik
Also didn’t end. 2019 reboot was just the beginning.

It takes TALENT to be as bad at writing as the writers for the MLP IDW comics are.

When can My Little Pony: Generations take place?

After season 10 and before the last problem

@Background Pony #779F
Where do I fall on that spectrum?

@Former Trini-Mite
I don’t know where it is in the timeline.

Read the latest comic. Jasmine Leaf was a fanon name, right? And what’s with the Not Cozy Glow next to Ocellus?

@Wiimeiser
She would be a background pony but that look is so iconic
