@Frustration in Excelsis
I know it is unfortunate. Like, why am I getting invested in every part of the FIM franchise the show, the films, the comics, the books, the shorts, if parts of it just “whoop, don’t exist, never happened”?
but I’m one of the many people who prefers to view them as Noncanon.
Given the show’s track record of retconning or ignoring everything the comics do when it happens to retread the same general ground, I get the feeling that the show’s writers don’t exactly see the comics as especially canonical either.
