I’ll admit that I’ve not read the entirety of the comic, but from what uploads I’ve seen it doesn’t work well regardless of wether it’s set before
or after the episode. It looks like it focuses on Pinkie constantly trying to get Rainbow to eat pie to get her to like it despite Rainbow’s protests, and regardless of when it’s set it ends up requiring a pretty serious case of aesop amnesia on Pinkie’s part.
Like, if it’s set
after the episode, the timeline of events would have Pinkie trying to investigate Rainbow’s lies about liking her pies, accepting that Rainbow just doesn’t like pie, and then – despite said acceptance – going on a campaign to force-feed Rainbow a food she hates to make her start liking it, despite this going directly against the episode’s lesson.
In fact, I’d say seeing the early leaks did the opposite of spoiling me, if that makes sense. I went in expecting the episode to follow a specific storyline, and it took a completely different route instead. And I have to say I like the show’s take on the concept much more than what I’ve seen of the comic’s.
