If I’m reading Asmus’ interview right, the upcoming comic stories are basically gonna be what the animated Star Wars Clone Wars was to Episode 3. Not required viewing, and you can understand the plot of the movie just fine without it, but the full story is spread across different mediums. Except with the Curnow interview in mind, the Grievous in this analogy might not appear in the Episode 3 of this analogy.
 
Sure why not.

Based off everything we’ve learned: no, but some of the lore that may or may not pop up in Shadowlock’s arc may or may not pop up in the show.

From the looks of it IDW was told one of the plot elements of S7, and they’re going to weave it into the story of the Shadow the Pony arc, given that it’ll deal with history-altering events.
 
My guess is that it’ll simply be a quick preview, something like “Hey lookie, new race! Poof, gone”.

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

Cards on the table, I’m very unenthusiastic about Equestria’s southern neighborhood being populated terrestially by agressively uninteresting furry bait anthropomorphic animals with no mythological basis.
 
And to be perfectly clear, I mean anthropomorphic as in animals of humanlike form/function, not just sapience.
 
The pirate being the worst offender. I mean, four bird legs for each limb, no wings and bipedal? What were they thinking?
 
And it would be so easy, at least in my mind, to spruce them up. Call grubber a gnoll/bugbear/whathaveyou, he already looks the part. Make Celano a griffin, because that makes sense given the lore they’ve provided. Give Capper an extra set of arms and call him a displacer beast.
 
 
Okay, that one’s not exactly easy, but it’s certainly interesting. Might even make his past as a conman more interesting.
 
And this might be my only major problem with movie, which I really want to like, believe it or not.

Well the interview did also use the specific phrase “officially canon within the stories of the animated series” so that’s a thing.
 
Interesting.
 
Asmus joins “My Little Pony” at a conspicuous time for the comic book series, which is now officially canon within the stories of the animated series.
 
So are they saying everything beforehand wasn’t canon? XD

anthropomorphic animals with no mythological basis
 
Of all the excuses to drag The Movie without having seen a whole second of a trailer yet, this is far and away the most ridiculous. The bird person Captain Celaeno is literally named for a Harpy from Ancient Greek mythology; the Sea Ponies are Hippocampi and Stratus Skyranger is a Hippogriff, both also from Ancient Greek mythology; the Storm King appears to be a Yeti, which feature prominently in Himalayan folklore past and present; and Capper is the most absurd thing to cry about of all, because if you can find me an ancient civilization that had cats but didn’t have legends of cat-headed people, I would very much like to hear about it. Do you honestly think the internet invented furries? None of this is new.

I only mentioned the characters I had a problem with, the others I’m not debating.
 
Celano is named for a harpy, but no aspect of her design or so far one-sentence description indicates that she is literally one.
 
I know there’s several animal-headed gods in Egypt including the cat-aligned Bastet, but don’t how that connects to Capper since he’s probably not an Egyptian deity, unless there’s a whole race no one’s dug up for this particular debate. Which would give him a fighting chance in my mind.
 
As an aside, there’s nothing wrong with the storm king’s design becasue I have no idea what he is, but can reasonably assume he’s no yeti from the fact the show has explicitly had a yeti already with a different body structure.
 
And nowhere in my comment did I assert that mythological creatures did not contain anything justfiably called furries in their ranks.
 
We have minotaurs, for fuck’s sake.

Remember guys, unpopular opinions thread. Not “I’m going to tell you how wrong you are” thread. If someone has an opinion you can talk about it, but don’t treat them like shit in the process, ok? full

@ice1517  
I more question why the main characters are apparently transforming into sea-ponies. That seems unnecessary.
 
@Mildgyth  
To be fair, a lot of the recent character designs look less like official show designs and more like crappy fanart.

Escape from Catrina? full
 
I get what you mean, design-wise he does feel a little out of place alongside all the other critters. That said, we’ve only seen a static pose of him. How he’s animated could fundamentally change how we perceive him.
 
(Still wishing he was voiced by Danny John Jules…)
