Since we're talking about 3-A on another thread: Tell me why Legends of Magic isn't canon again? I want to get something clear right now: I'm not discussing the entire IDW comic series as a whole, just this specific set that goes by "Legends of Magic".
This set of comics is explicitly stated to tie into the Season 7 finale. This set of comics is literally part of Season 7. Any arguments of "Oh but the comic book series is a separate continuity." is, quite frankly, a load of nonsense. It goes entirely against how these comics relate to Season 7. I could give two ***** about the fact that literally every comic book series is a separate continuity from My Little Pony. This one is not treated in the same manner. Whatever beef anyone has with the other My Little Pony comics being separate continuities from the show
does not apply to Legends of Magic.

"Bullet points
┬À Ties into new season of My Little Pony!
┬À The magic of My Little Pony continues with a brand-new ongoing series!
┬À From seasoned MLP writer Jeremy Whitley, creator of Princeless, and writer on Marvel's The Unstoppable Wasp!"
Just like everyone's been saying, they are a part of season 7. They are not a seperate, standalone, continuity like the rest of the comics. I recall one tweet when they first came out that someone working on the comics said that they tied into Season 7 as well, but I'd have to dig to find that one.
More proof can be found regarding their connection to Season 7. Guess how the Season finale kicks off? With Sunburst finding Starswirls journal. And where did we last see said journal? On a train ride.

I think we need to seriously consider the canocity of the Legends of Magic comic series and I do not appreciate how unfairly and easily the staff members are brushing it off.
