Yeah… I have no idea what was I thinking when I typed that, because seriously… I FELT IN LOVE WITH ANDY’S FLEETFOOT! AND FOR ME TO LOVE SOMETHING HE DID…

@Starlight Storm
 
By “Spitfire”, do you mean Fleetfoot?

@HJSDGCE
 
I imagine that they planned to go public with the mirrors eventually.

@Background Pony #BF2D @TricornKing
 
Why do you say that Sombra’s world focuses more on science? I think the montage in issue 17 is meant to show a variety of different worlds.
 
(Obligatory mention of Fluttersaurus)

>issue 19
 
…I guess I could have just said “this issue”, since it’s the same issue as the one that the image we’re commenting on came from.

@Background Pony #BF2D @Grumpykins @Background Pony #0CC7
 
In issue 19, Sombra says “when your Luna returned to the throne, ours turned to the dark side”. I took that to imply that she automatically became evil when Luna became good; and that in issue 20 they have to somehow find a way to break the link that’s controlling her (and possibly all the other opposite counterparts).
 
(As for Discord and Trixie, maybe it’s an “opposite of neutral is neutral” situation.)

@soundtea
 
“All”? A lot, maybe, but not all the magitek that they had before (and made use of to create) the mirrors, or anything they developed (redeveloped?) after the mirrors were closed.

Accidentally in love~

That’s the headcanon I’ve always stuck with. That could explain the differences in personalities from various characters, like Spitfire being a cute stalker and not a douche (Only time the comics have done a character better), and Luna acting like a bratty child with new bows and not like the royal keeper of dreams.

Wait, did Starswirl take a bag of coffee with him?!  
That seems very risky and stuff…
 
Pony: “I have discovered coffee!”  
SSTB: “Puh-lease, I had coffee since I invented inter dimensional travel.”  
Pony: “Wait, what?”

@Atticon  

I can see why she’d want to go back. Discord is good and a protector of that land rather than a former despot. A level headed and sane and more importantly GOOD Luna. A ruler of that world that is someone she can fall in love with…yes, I can see why they would want to go back.

@Solitude  
That reference.
 
You. I like you.

@yomerodes In general, the comics mesh with the show pretty well. Otherwise they wouldn’t be officially recognized as canon by Hasbro.

@TricornKing
 
Didn’t knew that, thanks. It’s a relief, I am glad the comic keeps the continuity going strong.

@yomerodes Actually, the first comic of this arc outright states that Prime!Luna has been far more distant with Celestia lately, so the scenes in the past take place well before either Luna’s banishment or Sombra’s imprisonment.
 
I do like how the comics do explain why Celestia and Luna didn’t use the Elements of Harmony on Sombra in the first place; their friendship had gotten strained to the point where they weren’t able to use them effectively anymore. (Also like how Good King Sombra’s world focused more on magic science than magic magic too.)

@SkunkStripe  
same,I really don’t see anything “glaring’ off.

I don’t really see what about this is too “off” or “weird”. Everything makes perfect sense to me.

@yomerodes  
I’m afraid that is just a screw up. In cases like these, I just assume that the show’s canon takes precedence over the comic.

@Background Pony #0CC7  
That would actually be really, really funny.
 
I would totally go for that.
 
Celestia: Interdimensional Husbando Stealer!

Maybe “Evil Luna before she was evil” start of darkness comes the same reasons than Nightmare Moon…
 
That is, jealousy over the perfect goody two shoes Princess Celestia, that just appears out of nowhere and steals her beloved Good King Sombra while she remains as an unlucky childhood friend.
 
She being a friend of Sombra for so any years but without courage to reveal her feelings, with the impact of seeing how Sombra falls in love with a Celestia that came from nowhere, and with a little taunting from Evil Celestia, SNAPS!, “Evil Luna before she was evil” becomes Evil Luna.

 
“That pony knows his priorities.”

Celestia meeting this SOmbra before Prime Sombra might be a glaring continuity error, a shame they made such a mistake, since I love the comics.
 
In this moment of Celestia life, we are supposed to believe that Luna is already imprisoned on the moon, yet in the show Sombra banishment was done before Luna imprisonment.

@Background Pony #BF2D  
Wouldn’t be surprised if that screwed it somehow.
