There’s two ways to interpret that scentence

…How did I never notice Purple Nurple back there with Eyes On The Prize?

Only for people who don’t know what the word “canon” means.

I guess we’ll wait and see if this makes it into the show

Comics are still debatable canon

@hyperwave90000  
Nothing the comics do applies to the TV series, show staff ain’t even read ’em.
 
Honestly, I really like this setup, it means there can be many different kinds of stories told about Equestria and fans are free to pick and choose between them without having to get dragged down by stuff that happens in a different format; I just wish they were more up front about the show and the comics being separate continuities instead of being coy about it, I think it would have headed off a lot of the dumb arglebargle about the comics if it had just been established early on that anyone who has a problem with them can just ignore them without losing anything important to the show.

@TexasUberAlles  
All im saying is that this wont apply to the tv series, never have I said that an alternate universes in a franchise cant change some things.

@hyperwave90000  
This again? Really?

IDW comics are not cannon :I

You idiot…

@Psyga315  
“I HATE THE IDW COMICS ” =/= “the comics aren’t canon”. That’s completely irrespective of the fact that the show doesn’t take any significant cues from the comics; it’s not at all unusual for alternate universes within a franchise to do their own things within a set of overarching common features, as your own example neatly illustrates.

@Psyga315
 
I’m like 70% certain that the helicarrier showing up in Age of Ultron, despite SHIELD being shut down in Winter Soldier, was due to and explained in an episode of Agents of SHIELD.
 
So yeah, Agents isn’t required viewing for the greater MCU, but the movies themselves do take into account what happens in the show.
 
The same still cannot be said for MLP and its expanded universe though. - _ -

@Background Pony #B47E  
It’s canon in the way Agents of Shield is canon to the MCU. It acknowledges the movies, but don’t expect the movies to do the same for the show.

It is you who must pick one.

Pick one.

The speech bubble is aimed at her music player. She isn’t talking, the music is loud enough to be heard.
 
She doesn’t talk in the show. Her music is so loud it can be heard.
 
Same thing in Equestria Girls.
 
Comic matches show, Equestria girls matches show.

>IDW
 
Pick one.

@AstralFrankie  
the comics. That’s an alternate universe  
I keep trying to tell people this, but they keep acting like superhero comics didn’t figure all this out sixty dadgum years ago. Any of the MLP media– TV show, movies, comics, books– can stand on their own while ignoring all the others, so there’s really no reason to keep arglebargling about it.

@TexasUberAlles  
Except the comics. That’s an alternate universe at best.

Sorry mate but show cannon trumps comic cannon.

@Dustcan  
Can’t remember exact source, but I do remember something about them not being able to touch Gilda (for an obvious Gilda RD FF) because the show had plans for her.
 
By Chrysalis being “open”, I mean able to be dropped back into the show with no conflict whatsoever with the comics. Might have been the reason for the Fiendship.
 
As for the villain team, I remember that IDW themselves mandated the villain teamup, but Hasbro didn’t want just anyone there (Starlight for one being a very obvious struck out canidate). And how else can you explain suddenly making Lightning Dust, Flim and Flam, and Iron fucking Will (who was never even bad in the first place and already had a nice FF) willing to commit treason with Chrysalis? IDW mandate honestly ruined the entire arc.
 
And the last one is because Discord would be like, the first thing they’d jump on. Kinda suspicsious that we get the Sirens, yet not Discord.

I’ll believe it when there’s a credited voice actress.

The dialogue bubble is pointed directly at her music player. So it’s more likely she’s listening to it like that. Given that she likes to listen to it loud enough to hear outside of her ear phones, it’s very likely we could hear it.
 
Also, you can take it both ways, people. Either Vinyl is mute or she’s the type of person who just rarely talks because they don’t think they need to.
