@Princess♠Molestia Saw someone on Ponychan mention that the comics all feel like they’re running with the first draft/rough draft and then just slapping an expensive coat of inking over it to cover the flaws. Can’t disagree with that assessment. Tons of things in each comic like Twilight ‘refusing’ to use magic on living creatures sound like things people who don’t watch the show would write, followed by nobody that actually watched the show coming by to correct them on. Somewhere along the line they just started rubber-stamping and didn’t give a damn about coherency.

And yet, Curnow said Hasbro followed them closely with this villain series. Not in the show? Not in continuity and can be ignored. Director himself said so.

@Itsthinking They aren’t really reading it closely, I think. Not in the way we mean.  
They’re just sitting there with the next season’s scripts and going through a stack of comic ideas to make sure there’s no crazy shit mucking up the canon with non-quo scenarios.  
It’s kinda funny that a large corporate powerhouse like hasbro wouldn’t pull a Bungie or Activision or Blizzard and fluff out each hiatus with canon comic stories though.  
You would think interlinking all their media would have been the first thought in their minds. Like having a canon return of Chrysalis in a game similar to how Brad Bird thinks of the game as “Incredibles 2” or how people knocked off in Diablo/Warcraft books are then stated to have been knocked off in the games, changing the storyline without appearing. It’s sort of another way companies used to guarantee brand loyalty.

So recently I just thought of something.
 
Depending on the quality of the Fiendship is Magic comics and how Season 5 handles Discord*, what are the chances of a backlash against Discord’s popularity? I wouldn’t be surprised to see certain fans, particular fans of the other villains, to start thinking that Discord’s getting special treatment over the others.
 
  • I know that Curnow gave an explanation on why Discord isn’t getting an issue, but I think that, based on this part [“…but I don’t recall exactly why we didn’t include him…”], there’s a chance that he’s lying in order to avoid spoilering a part of Season 5.

And now there’s a new sentient forest-controlling entity that Celestia knew about but never mentioned that needs to be found post-haste.
 
Yeah, it seems like that.
 
And, I think it’s a little late for sentient deer, IDW.
 
I know half the fandom was pullin’ for them, but…

The last thing we need in this fandom is a coup de grace for Sombra and Nightmare Moon. Chrysalis has her rabid fanbase at least.

I still wonder where you heard the rumor(?) from. I want to know whether the source is credible or not. I’d be highly skeptical if the source came from 4chan or something. The fact that they didn’t try to get a replacement is already making me suspicious.

Fifty bits says this will end with a shitty meta joke AND the HotEF doesn’t even get mentioned.

Come on guy, let’s try to be at least a little bit positive. Some of the recent comics had pretty bserious ig flaws but this a new arc which means a new chance at creating an enjoyable story. The biggest issue so far is that this is too similar to the Season 4 premier, but this is not the first time that they reused something from the show. We already had NMM 2.0 and the Return of Chrysalis and I bet the only reason why there wasn’t a Revenge of Discord was that they already had other plans for him in the show. There’s no reason why they couldn’t use the same premise for the show but take it into another direction, turning it into a unique or at least entertaining story.

I’m just trying to be optimistic. If it turns out that this is another story I don’t like I’m simply not buying it and wait for the next one. Sooner or later the comics either take or turn for the better or the series get canceled. ;)
