Her horn is yuge.

@Twilatron217  
Not a good comparison IMO…

Princess Celestia: being Equestria’s Donald Trump since 2010

@Itsthinking  
Yeah, but they shouldn’t play it safe all the time.

@Seiya-Meteorite  
More than just that, though. The only time they can pull off something decent is when they play it safe, it feels like. Not necessarily a bad thing.

@Itsthinking  
Yeah, I’m afraid the “comic original characters are the problem” were a source of the trouble in certain arcs like “Root of the Problem” and “Siege”…

The other comic that had a physical only release is basically just Party Pooped. Good depiction of Blueblood, though.
 
I think it justifies my “comic original characters are the problem” theory a bit.

@Background Pony #A8F5  
Reflections IMO wasn’t THAT bad (just my opinion though),but I agree, I don’t trust Whitley anymore after that Siege, you could say, on the comic series. I’m skipping this one also.
 
The next Rainbow one by Katie Cook unfortunately sounds really generic and sounds too close to some Care Bears episode (which IMO, also being a Care Bears fan was good) where Grumpy’s all depressed and Cheer tries to cheer him up…see what I mean? I don’t even know about the Pinkie one also (which is going to be written by Cook also).
 
Maybe we should just boycott these comics, I’ve heard even Friends Forever (I haven’t read it though, minus glimpsing at #1 to see what happened to that Pinkamena clone) has been getting hit with duds lately. Also IMO Anderson and Fosgitt, why haven’t they been fired yet?
 
 
@soundtea  
I’d blame Anderson. Celestia (I’m not planning on reading #40) sounds really OOC there.

@Background Pony #A8F5  
The cute moments really don’t save Celestia acting like a complete dick.

Cmon guys, I’m critical of IDW as much as the next guy, and there was a lot of bad ones (Reflection, cattle rustler,Deers, dragontown, EQG christmas special) but this one, while bland, wasn’t anything really boycott worthy. It was just a cute comic.
 
And I’m saying that as a guy worried about the next issue (since it’s Whitley about two guys visiting a foreign land) and even more the next one (since it’s COOK writing about DASH being angry, dear god I’m afraid), but really this one was tame.

@Ecthudan  
I agree. The best thing to do IMO is just boycott them. I’m sticking with G1 MLP comics (yeah, I’m a G1/G4 fan).

@Seiya-Meteorite  
Unfortunately, it seems that as long as these comics are making money, they’ll just keep going. I’ve never supported these comics, but fans should boycott them if their quality keeps degrading to such an extent. Maybe if their sales are low, they’ll think of hiring actually good writers for once.

@Background Human  
Lemme guess, the show universe? XD
 
 
@Ecthudan  
I’d suggest just stop with the main comic series entirely; I stopped after #37 (and I saw your comment on EQD and upvoted it too). Thank goodness these aren’t canon at all. I agree, they have been getting worse. I think Hasbro should just terminate the partnership with IDW, who’s probably like “Who cares? As long as the comic says “My Little Pony”, kids/fans/bronies/pegasisters will want it!!”
 
Or I’d also stick to the G1 comics. In one of those, Applejack killed an evil wizard. No joke.

I have really lost my patience with these comics. They’re getting worse with every issue. I’m especially disappointed with the main series. Some of the Friends Forever comics aren’t that bad.

With all due respect to Princess Celestia, it’s becoming increasingly obvious why her most well-adjusted student is the one who escaped to a parallel universe.

Proof that the comics aren’t canon or how they ruin characters at times? This better not start some goddamn shitty “Trollestia” horseshit again…
 
(One other thing, Celestia had NO CHOICE but to seal Luna into the moon!)
 
 
@Background Pony #065E  
That sounds more like Luna fans trying to make Luna look good and Celestia bad, which is making me slowly start to think that the Princess of the Moon is overrated.

Considering how often I read stuff like that last panel, I can only conclude that bronies believe Luna was trying repeatedly to talk to Celestia about her loneliness and dejection, and Celestia kept brushing her off because she was too busy basking in the adulation of her subjects and eating cake.

This one made me a YUGE chuckle out of this!

@Dustcan  
But that implies it isn’t true. This seems pretty on the ball to me. In what way is it wrong?

@Dustcan  
Not a really good depiction of her either way.

@soundtea
 
The original dialogue had Celestia say Twilight would take care of Spike when Celestia was too busy with her duties. Not make Twilight the sole caregiver for him
 
Fair’s fair though, the issue does all but state that Twilight ended up taking care of him for days on end. So one could draw such a conclusion.
 
These panels though gives me the impression that this might of simply been an oversight on Celestia’s part rather than a deliberate gambit.

It’s beautiful, I love the details in it.

@Dustcan  
Except that’s pretty much what happened.
 
You can have all the vauge premonitions you can, but forcing a filly on her first day to be the sole caretaker of some baby even in the middle of classes in the name of “friendship” is a dick move.

All that’s missing is a South Park style “This is what IDW ‘critics’ actually believes” caption.

@Background Pony #A930  
I did, all I see is some guy whining that people are critizising the comic.
