Well does anything contradict what happened in the show, in the comic?Antvasima said:Several of the comics tie into episodes, but some of them have been contradicted by the TV series itself, and from what I remember, the show writers do not consider them as canon.
Isn't the movie prequel cannon? The comics as a whole aren't canon, But the ones that get referenced by the show are, as it would imply they happened. Wasn't that citing a list of rules the comic writers had to follow if they wanted to use Hasbro material? I didn't see anything explicitly saying the comics aren't cannon, just that Hasbro isn't inclined to follow comic canon, and can "keep it or leave it".Antvasima said:From the top of my head, I think that Azathoth has cited a mention from the TV series writers that the comics are not canon to the show, and the Dazzlings were banished in extremely different ways in each of the continuities.
So then like I said: The comic's canocity aren't explictly being denied, just left unacknowledged until otherwise.Antvasima said:
What about S7 comics? Didn't someone on the wiki say someone from the show say the comics were part of the continuity for this season? Come to think of it, who actually said that?Antvasima said:In practical terms it means that we only acknowledge comicbook stories that have been later accurately referenced within the TV show itself, and consider the others part of their own separate continuity.
Sooo no to the comic for S7? I mean if the authors from the show themselves think those specific comics are canon, then why shouldn't we, so long as they stay true to the show?Antvasima said:@Darkanine
Thank you for the help.
@Js250476
Our rules state that we only count the comics that have been accurately referenced within the TV show.
Not neccesarily. That mostly happened because Discord was away, and the dimension latched itself to someone else who was there. I don't think it would happen with Discord in there.Js250476 said:Yeah if someone enters his dimension then can take his power or weaken him iirc
^^ThisDarkanine said:But the tie-in comics cam out much earlier and I presume take place earlier in the timeline. In this case, it would be the show building into the comics.
Also, theirs a a number twitter quotes that say the comics are canon, and some that say they're not. Since these are billed as the exceptions, then they should be fine.
We don't know that though.Antvasima said:The comics writers were likely simply informed about the storylines of the next season beforehand, but without the TV show accurately referencing them, we still have the official clarification statement that I linked to earlier.
We have our rules regarding this, so I would appreciate if you would adhere to them, or at least talk with Azathoth about the issue.
Best if you did.Js250476 said:Yeah Azzy is a busy guy but I've contacted him a while ago he should be here eventually I could message him again if I have to
Hope he responds, the dude is knowledgeable on MLP.Js250476 said:Alright I sent another message to him that were discussing more stuff in this thread
I mean, the authors themselves consider these comics canon, and happened long before the episodes even aired, meaning the episodes essentially referenced the comics.Js250476 said:I hope so as well
Are their own counter statements not enough? They didn't even deny the older comics, they just don't use it.Antvasima said:@Lightbuster30
We need reliable proof that directly contradict their previous explicit statements in order to make exceptions. So far I have not seen any.
