That’s a lot to take in and consider.

@SuperSonic15
You mean before the rest of Equestria including Canterlot fell to the Storm King and the Storm Guards alongside Tempest and Grubber? I believe that those who first appear in the post-movie episodes of the cartoon that lives in Equestria were capture/enslaved offscreen by the Storm King and his minions throughout the entire movie. I don’t know why Equestria fell to the Storm King who dethrone the four alicorn princesses at the beginning of the film. Similar to how the Pride Lands fell to Scar in The Lion King, Wakanda fell to Erik Killmonger in Black Panther, Bikini Bottom fell to Plankton in the SpongeBob movie, Cybertron fell to the Decepticons and later Unicron in the Transformers movie, Angel Grove and the rest of the world fell to Ivan Ooze in the Power Rangers movie, the entire universe fell to the United Alliance of Evil led by the Dark Specter in the final of both Power Rangers in Space and the Zordon Era “Countdown to Destruction”, Earh fell into Master Org in the finale of Power Rangers Wild Force “The End of the Power Rangers”, Earth fell to the Armada led by Emperor Mavro in the final of Power Rangers Super Megaforce, Springfield fell to Russ Cargill in the Simpsons movie, Arendalle fell twice in both Frozen movies, Agrabah fell to Jafar in Aladdin, Motunui fell to Te Kā in Moana, Sugar Rush fell to King Candy/Turbo in Wreck-It Ralph, and Far Far Away fell to Prince Charming in Shrek the Third.

For all we know, they were captured as well, or escaped before Canterlot fell to the Storm Guards.

@SuperSonic15
Yeah. I don’t know what happened to Sandbar, Chancellor Neighsay, and other characters introduced in the post-movie episodes during the events of the movie.

@Background Pony #895F  
More or less them and Sandbar since Sandbar was the one who helped save them so they could save Chancellor Neighsay and have him go get the Royal Sisters for help.

@SunnyBlam  
You’re right. Equestria never heard of the Storm King until he and his henchmen and troops showed up at the beginning of the movie.

@SuperSonic15  
You’re talking about the Student/Young Six? All except Sandbar?

@Background Pony #895F  
Yeah, proving just how much of a tyrant he was.
 
@SunnyBlam  
Yeah, that was when Twilight opened up the borders so other species could live in Equestria with the ponies.

It’s kinda funny looking back, how the Storm King was a big-time conqueror and Equestria hadn’t even heard of him until he showed up.  
That isolation in Celestia’s rule never really went away until Twilight took over.

@SuperSonic15  
Yeah, well, before the Storm King conquered Equestria in the movie, he conquered dozens of lands beyond Equestria including Zorgath, Abyssinia, and Mount Aris in the prequel of the movie that is set prior to both the tv show and/or the movie.

@Background Pony #1977  
Shows just how dangerous he is if you read the prequel comics as well.

@SuperSonic15  
I know that. The Storm King and his army did cause a lot of damage to Equestria during the movie. Despite the damage being undone.

@Background Pony #9E94  
Thankfully, all of the Storm King’s damage was undone once Tempest turned good and revived the Princesses from their petrified states. The rest you can figure out yourself if you’ve seen the movie already since it has been out for three years now.

@SuperSonic15  
Yeah. I can’t believe the Storm King had finally ruled/invaded/conquered all of Equestrian for three days assuming the thrones in Canterlot, enslaving, punishing, imprisoning, dozens, or hundreds, or thousands, or millions, of inhabitants across Equestria. Turning it into a wasteland ruins of broken, slanted, and destroyed. And you were right. Because I agree that the Storm King and his Storm forces did conquered/invaded/ruled Ponyville, Manehattan, the Crystal Empire, and the rest of Equestria during the movie offscreen. I guess the Storm King is now the ruler of the Crystal Empire since Cadance was petrified by Tempest in the beginning because I guess the Crystal Empire does have a second evil king in the movie. Looks like the Storm King really is enslaving, punishing, and imprisoning all Crystal Ponies without a Crystal Princess. Just like what King Sombra did a millennium ago. I can’t believe that in the movie offscreen, the whole Royal Family of the Crystal Empire were overthrown by the Storm King. I guess the Storm King let his general from the MLP Gameloft app take the throne of the Crystal Castle despite the Storm King still ruling the Crystal Empire. And I guess the Storm King will be like Trixie because you said that you fear what would happen if they moved onto Ponyville. And you were right because you would see Ponyville be conquered or destroyed, or invaded by the Storm King’s soldiers and smoke rise above the town.

My God…The Mane Six were gone for three days seeking Queen Novo, and look what Tempest and Storm King have done to Canterlot…It looks like a second version of Klugetown.
 
Jeez…I fear what would happen if they moved onto Ponyville, Manehattan, and the rest of Equestria. Even the Crystal Empire for that matter.

@SunnyBlam  
No. It’s the making of the movie.

What’s going on with all these screencaps? Did the movie air early?
