I mean, they got the baby princess part right at least.

Bullshit. The first 2 episodes will be an epic action two-parter, most likely dealing with something that threatens Equestria. But we’ll see when we get there.

Of course if the comics HAVE to portray him as redeemed, they could at least make him like a much friendlier Mr. Mxyzptlk, occasionally messing with Twilight and friends just with the ultimate goal of, say, teaching Twilight not to take things so seriously and obsessively.

My headcanon is that the comics are the real Season 3, although I accept Magic Duel, Sleepless in Ponyville and Babs Seed as canon. Magic Duel was originally a Season 2 episode but got delayed because of all the animation, so in a way I consider it an extension of Season 2 anyway.
 
The comics are in a great position because they can acknowledge the good parts of Season 3 and ignore the rest, although if it’s truly an alternate reality from Season 3 that’s fine too. I wouldn’t mind more of the jealous and mischievous Trixie and a proper villainous return of Discord, and those are things that the comics can but that the show can’t. Especially discord. Oh, how I would LOVE to see IDW do a proper Discord arc with him in full-on, non~~”TV-Y”-restrained villain mode.
 
If Discord is in the comics, I could easily see him being like The Joker-~~ both hilarious and wittily observant one moment, and terrifyingly psychotic and cruel the next. The show approached that, but I’d love to see the comic go a step further the way they did with Queen Chrysalis in all her kitty-killing glory.

Soon, the only “ponyverse” that will be canonically accepted will be the IDW one.
 
You can deodorize and dress up a dungheap all you want, but it’s still a dungheap.

Although I would be worried about what will happen if Helter Skelter takes charge of the group. I wouldn’t want to see Rarity carve a swastika on her own face, let alone involve herself in serial murder and terrorism.

@MeshGearFox  
Well, the only hippy commune in Equestria is owned by Rarity’s best pals, so that’s cool.

@bboifatz
 
Not married.
 
She gets teen pregnant and then her boyfriend runs off to join a hippy commune.
 
Meanwhile Shining Armor is off fighting some increasingly pointless war in a distant land, and Twilight’s parents can’t really afford to help her out.
 
And then Bobby Kennedy gets killed AGAIN, when his boyfriend accidentally shoots him in the head while trying to play the William Tell gang when they’re both strung out on roach powder.

Sure, why not? Everything else has turned out to be true, so why not make Twilight get married, toss in baby Skyla and make this shit sundae complete.

@Background Pony  

I used to ponder how I could kill the show if I were in charge.
 
This trumps all of the other ideas.

Ahem.  
All together now.  
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

and skyla is spike’s mom
