There’s also radiation involved that process too, but whatever.
 
Theoretically, yes could create a device of some sort, how effective it’ll be I can’t say, but again NM could just force them to stop it if she felt threatened by it. I think it was implied, NM imprisoned Celestia like she did to her, and if she didn’t, probably could. Either way whether if Equestria survives this or not, they’ll still be ruled under a dictatorship.

light doesn’t equal heat.  
The infrared light from the sun is what warms the Earth.
 
If unicorns could not use their horns they could at least use some kind of device to make light, basically a primitive flashlight or a lantern. That said, Celestia could have undone NMM’s eternal night as she does control the sun and during Luna’s absence was also able to control the moon and stars but she wanted her sister back and therefore needed help from Twilight and her friends to free her from the evil that possessed her.

It’s a far cry from flashlights to trying to mimic the sun, light doesn’t equal heat. And remember some ponies might not have the necessary skill or strength to sustain energy like that for long periods of time, using Rarity as an example most unicorns are good at a single area of expertise, while skilled as she may be she wouldn’t be able to do what Twilight does. To be honest learning a fire spell or making a fire with levitation would be more helpful. To say nothing if Nightmare Moon had won, she’d be keeping tabs on what kind of spells are used and when, so really even if they could light and warm themselves using magic, it’d be only because NM is letting it and she can shut if off whenever she feels threatened by it.

It has already been shown that unicorns can use their horns as flashlights, Snails in Boast Busters for example, so the unicorns could at least see. Also given the power of unicorm magic, especially high level magic, I think they could find a way to make light and possibly even another sun, I mean the are capable of time travel! I’m pretty sure making some light would be easy for a high level unicorn like Twilight. That said though, I think the reason that Celestia didn’t just use her magic to solve those problems was because she wanted her little sister back and even her magic wasn’t strong enough for that so she had to rely on the Elements and Twilight and her friends and needed a reason to make the work together to free Luna from the evil rather than just undo her eternal night.

Oh…you mentioned the plant thing. That still doesn’t change much, artificial light and heat can only do so much, much less sustain a population.

Actually it would spell doom for them, for starters equines see about as well in the dark as we humans do (which is to say not very good at all) they’d be sitting ducks if it were constantly dark. Secondly their diet is primarily herbivorous, without basic photosynthesis ponies won’t have the basic nutrition they need and will probably starve. Thirdly, the nightmare forces would be at their full power, and are more than will to snuff all of Equestria out for their own ends, really their best hope would to be possessed and become a shadow creature like Sombra.

Actually Celly did not banish Luna for a thousand years, Luna was banished forever; it was only because on the thousandth year the stars aligned and aided her was the reason she was able to escape. If Celestia had banished her only for a certain time things would have been much different. Instead NMM escaped and unleashed her vengeance which I’m sure Celestia knew would happen and which is one of the reasons I’m sure that she decided to take on Twilight as her personal pupil because she knew that Twilight was powerful but needed the powerful the other elements as well and therefor need to make friends etc.
 
As far as eternal night being genocide, to an extent yes but given that through some form of magic light could be somewhat restored, (at least enough to grow plants) it would not spell doom for the ponies but their lives would be forever changed. The world would also be very cold but again through magic they could find a way to stay warm. Anyway, NMM was defeated but not killed, rather she was cleansed of the evil that possessed her. It’s one thing to purge a villain of corruption through the power of magic, it’s another to drive a spear straight through their brain and watch as they lay on the ground brain-dead and bleeding to death.

@someguy111  
Well,the very first episode implied the consequences of an eternal night,which can be considered genocide to an extent.
 
I mean,it would be incredibly out of place if Celestia banished her own sister for a 1000 years just because of a mere tantrum.It must have had some actual gravity in her past actions.
 
So is not really out of place either that Celestia didn’t had a peaceful reign during those 1000 years.One would think that without her sister,Celestia would have dificulties.That she managed to get it work over the centuries,well that’s another thing.
 
 
I mean,you know what would be incredibly out of place? if Celestia banished her own sister for a 1000 years just because of a mere tantrum.It must have had some actual gravity in her past actions.
 
Also,most Lunafags and even some regular fans insist in the idea of Luna spending that millenium wandering around the moon,“ON” the moon,driving herself crazy,despite the first episode and her later appeareances showing the contrary.How those theories are more acceptable than Celestia and co.going having wars if it also carries a degree of darkness.
 
And who said seemingly cute/harmless things can’t be dangerous? I,for one,subscribe to the idea that pies can be dangerous weapons in their world.

I almost thought she was supposed to be the IDW version of Celestia’s secretary from the show, the one with the same fanon name. They do looks vaguely similar, strange coincidence.

I also love the intelligent raptors. I mean, yeah the movies talk and talk about how smart the raptors were, but until the third one, we never got to see much of it.
 
They opened a door, tested the fence, and tricked the hunter (kind of sad really. In the book, he got to blow up a raptor with an RPG.). That’s good and all, but the third was were they really showcased the raptor’s intelligent.
 
And yeah, I think bringing in another predator (the spino) was indeed a breath of fresh air. Spinosaurus was indeed much larger then T-Rex. (Fact: Spinosaurus could get bigger then that. It may have been a young male that was stalking the group.)

@Evowizard25  
my favourite was the third one, when i was young, i thought that it looked epic as fuck (even though it killed of the staple character, the t-rex, but got replaced by the badass spino)
Evowizard25

@exowarrior  
First. Third one is also good, but it had problems…and one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. So I enjoyed it.
 
Second….I liked it as a kid, but when I got older I realized the protagonists were idiots. The only one I liked in that film was the hunter.

No one got hurt in that because both sides didn’t want to hurt the other.
 
Take a look at the season 2 finale. They got violent. Sombra made his whole empire into slaves and mind-raped them so they wouldn’t be happy and use the Crystal Heart.
 
And it wouldn’t be off place in my opinion. Kids can handle a lot more then people give them credit. Heck, I watched Aliens and Jurassic Park when I was a little kid.

Yeah that sounds like the IDW stuff; they don’t contradict that much per se but they definably have their own ideas about things and introduce characters and events that, while not going against canon for the most part, seem out of place compared to the show. I mean seriously, the war that was shown where Inkwell got her injury is something that is way out of place here. It’s actually quite shocking if this is canon, it shows that not only were wars fought but they were both violent and grim, possibly lethal. Suddenly pony seems far less cute and tbh that just doesn’t sit well with me and I’m sure this goes against popular opinion but I was shocked and disturbed by that flashback which contradicts the other battles we have seen such as the one in Over a Barrel which was just silly and comical; no one got hurt and they all worked out their differences in the end.

@someguy111  
It was basically where Marvel UK would reprint the US stuff but also did their own thing to fill in the gaps and they often got very elaborate but rarely actually contradicted the US material even though the US issues weren’t written with the UK stuff in mind. (At least until the writer of the UK comic was brought over to the US book.)

Checked by Hasbro, not DHX. Keep in mind Hasbro ordered EqG to be made as well as demanded Cadance be an alicorn, so I donlt think they care too much about making sense or the show’s background.
Background Pony #5D1D
@someguy111  
The comics have to be checked by Hasbro before publishing, and they are pretty much considered canon. Besides, there are plenty of characters in the show that appear only once and are never mentioned again so I don’t see the problem there.
