I honestly agree that the IDW backstory for Nightmare Moon was stupid and should’ve been better thought out. I don’t remember much about the Sirens so I can’t say anything about them.

I take it that the “evil” Celestia you’re talking about is the one from the Reflections arc? Or are you referring to Daybreaker? If it’s the former, then I don’t consider the existence (or even the mere idea) of an alternate reality to be impossible.

What other draconequus-like creatures have popped up besides Cosmos and Eris? (Trying to remember)
As for other brands of ponies, specify? Side note, I might be forgetting something or misremembering so sorry in advance.

Those can “exist” in-universe the same way disproving a negative works: even though they’re not ever shown on the show or even referenced, they’re not not shown, so maybe kinda [mental gymnastics nonsense here].

As for not being possible, how about the IDW’s version of Nightmare Moon’s backstory (or even the Sirens), or Evil Celestia (like that entire plot line), or yet another draconequus-like creatures that keep popping up, or other brands of ponies never mentioned on the show?

@Background Pony #A5C2
To be fair, characters from the comics who have never been seen on the show can be assumed to exist in-universe. As for characters who aren’t possible, got any examples?

@Phoenixflambe
I wouldn’t put my faith in a comic series that revived Sombra and made him a good guy for the show to also revive him and he’s still completely evil, then try to tack on their glorified fanon onto the show by calling it Season 10 when it has comic characters that aren’t possible or have never been seen on the show.

And if we’re gonna have a scene from a comic book, we might as well include their diary that you can buy as a book, wherein the Princess worthy thing they did was when Celestia used the spell to make it morning and Luna did the same for night on their own without losing any of their magic and instead were recharged, earning their cutie marks while they were teenagers.

@Background Pony #A5C2
You are right. Until otherwise.

@Phoenixflambe
But that’s what the TV show said, and whatever it says is canon. The comic is only “canon” until it contradicts the show, which is something Hasbro, the show directors and writers, and even the people working on the comic, have said multiple times.
Celestia and Luna said there has never been anypony born as an alicorn on the show, so that’s canon.

@Background Pony #A5C2
That’s not what the comics said.

@Phoenixflambe
So says Celestia and Luna. There had never been anypony born as an Alicorn. They say this. Outloud.

Biology is the world’s most f***ed-up lottery, kiddo.

@Background Pony #A5C2
Source? If not, it’s instant false information.

@Phoenixflambe
They weren’t born as Alicorns, just how Cadance wasn’t.

@Background Pony #27F4
The girls are probably looking at the still innocent Sparky and thinking: You did this to us! XD

I love terrible puns too much not to do so.

@Exedrus

Always good to hear. I worry I get carried away at times.

Speaking of…


“I’ve been meaning to ask you something. What exactly do baby dragons eat?”

“Honestly, he’ll chew on almost anything, given half a chance.”

“Why, just the other day he ate an entire clock!”

“Oh my goodness! Is Sparky ok?”

“Oh yeah, he’s fine. But it was very time consuming.”

@Background Pony #27F4
I’m so glad I subscribed to this thread. These little comics are great!

@Background Pony #A5C2
I don’t remember an official source claiming Celestia and Luna aren’t alicorns. If anything, it was otherwise.

@Background Pony #27F4
Oh god it continued. This is genius. XD

@fatalis21
Cursed lol

Also poor Spike.

“So I ask Sparky what’s wrong, and it turns out, he’s terrified of elevators.”

“But that’s fine. I’m taking steps to avoid them.”

“Ok, that’s it. This has to stop. “

“Hitch, the dad jokes have gotten way out of control.”

“Wait, I don’t get it. What makes that a ‘dad joke’?”



“Really, Izzy? I thought it was apparent.”

@Phoenixflambe
???
If you mean there hasn’t been an alicorn born “in years,” then you’d be wrong.
Celestia says it has never been seen, and Luna says it’s beyond their understanding.
I think it’s safe to say they’re the experts regarding Alicorns.

@Background Pony #A5C2
In years.

@Ltmajordude
Yeah, I think we would.

@Phoenixflambe
Um. When Flurry was born, they said there has never been a pony born as an alicorn ever. Celestia is the one to say it.

I can’t point at the episode any harder than outright linking it.

@Aesop
In a world full of magic again?
Sure.

That’s where “they came from.” Did any of you actually watch the show?

@Background Pony #867F
We wouldn’t be a community if we didn’t, would we?

Hehe, thanks. :P

Once again, the brony community makes a fuss over the most trivial details
