See, I learned long ago to not trust comic book covers, so I kind of had a feeling that a lot of those characters on that one cover wouldn’t actually appear. Mind you, I was still disappointed with certain ones not appearing, but I wasn’t exactly surprised.
 
But I can understand why some people didn’t like the arc. I always try to at least understand how people reach the conclusions that they do with their opinions, even if I don’t necessarily agree with them.

I don’t like that idea one bit. It’s too fatalistic: they’re good, so they’re bad, they’re winners, so they’re doomed to be losers.  
I like Fairy Tail’s Edolas better. While they seems to be antipodes, it’s not set in stone. For example, Edolas Mirajane exactly same as main world’s Mirajane: because main world’s Mirajane decided to change her behavior. Just because main world’s Mirajane decided that, Edolas Mirajane not automatically changed her behavior.

@Jarkes  
Yeah, I like the idea too. Heck, if the Mane6 actually encountered them only for the revelation that their counterparts are nothing but losers trying to be awesome villains, I could have applauded the decision.  
…Unfortunately the overhype the covers gave to the story, and the fact the overall plot was pretty convoluted and full of exposition leading nowhere, makes this page not brilliant but a slap to the face.

See, whatever problems the arc might have had (from what little I’ve read of it myself, I agree with the people who have defended the arc, though it definitely has problems), I thought this moment was kind of brilliant. The main universe Mane Six are great, amazing heroes, right? So logically, the mirror universe versions would be loser villains who probably won’t do much more than petty crimes.

Oh, I’ve never plucked a rooster and I am not too good at ping-pong  
And I’ve never thrown my mashed potatoes up against the wall  
And I’ve never kissed a chipmunk, and I’ve never gotten head lice  
And I have never been to Cloudsdale in the fall.

You win. Congrats. (your #)

They are the ponies who don’t do anything,  
They just stay at home and lie around,  
And if you ask them to do anything, they will tell you…  
“We don’t do anything!”

@FSin
 
I meant the comic arc was disappointing. Your art is pretty nice though.

@Diaz
 
I do my best.

What a disapointment.

@FSin
 
That is BEYOND brilliant.

@Potatoguy Hey, at least the pain of a convoluted mess of a story would be soothed by the crossover bliss potential. Finally get to see REAL Sunbutt and Prime interact. There’s probably a good gag involving Starscream and . Really, what kills KH for me isn’t the terrible story, it’s that they focus waaay too much on the ocs and as a result it isn’t a true crossover. The story would have always been excusable with a decent amount of appropriately handled fanservice, such as Hercules and Jecht palling around with each other, or Philip gawking over all the weird swords Final Fantasy leads carried.
 
@SoulCross19 Not to mention it’s something you only get the privilege to do when you’re not a rank amateur. You need to be Moore-tier to do that shit and get away with it. This pretentious bitch is struggling to rise even to the tier of Hudnall.
 
@AwkwardLuna Yep. She really does seem to be treating this as a published ff.net account. If this were fanfiction and not published I bet you a ton of people in this thread would be hammering her a lot harder. I really don’t know why it works out that way, if anything it should be the inverse, we’re supposed to expect better from what they expect us to pay for. If this were on Fimfic it would probably have ignited another Conversion Bureau fiasco with (truthful) allegations of intentionally disrespecting the source material flying willynilly, and some sites banning outright discussion.
 
also I think this bg pone put this arc best.  
>Adam saves the day with a selfless sacrifice, robbing the main character of the story of a meaningful contribution as well as making her character regress
 
>Sombra saves the day with a selfless sacrifice, robbing the main character of the story of a meaningful contribution as well as making her character regress
 
Mmmm yep.

It’s a horrible joke.

I suppose the big problem was time and space, they would need another (or more) entire arc to do this alternate mane 6 justice. Even as it was, the whole pace was rushed because of the four issues limit, to try to cram this basically six new characters (not to mention alt cadence, shining armor, Chrysalis, etc) on it would be nuts.

Gasp! they deleted the dupe upload of this…along with my awesomesauce comment!
 
Anyway as I was saying, 2/3 of the mane6 being the same is a bit lazy! But I like how Pinka’s cutie mark suggests “party pooper”.  
(Also, unicorn Twi is now evil Twi, the implications are just awkward.)

This wouldn’t piss me off as much if the arc was better written. There was so much potential wasted on a cliched romance that involved Celestia acting completely OOC and an obvious Marty Stu.
 
It’s almost like Molestia or Trollestia, she took a character and changed all but her appearance to suit her needs. At least the above two don’t take themselves remotely seriously. Actually, you can say that most fanfics change characters to suit their needs, look at all the grimdarks.
 
And making a character like Sombra that’s tall, dark, and handsome, all but the villains like, powerful, breaks the established laws of the universe, and generally doesn’t show any harmful flaws. He seemed like he was in more control, more mature, than Celestia.
 
The thing is, Katie could have made a convoluted story with the mirror seven and yeah, the lampshade would work if she didn’t. But instead she made a convoluted romance.
 
It was badly written and lampshading what you could’ve done just puts more fuel on the fire.
 
I’d be more inclined myself to take the joke if Katie’s attitude when dealing with the fandom was better.

@Background Pony #7DC1  
 
are you new? this is the internet, where everything is taken seriously, jokes cannot be made and people will say whatever they want.

WHAT IS IT WITH YOU PEOPLE AND NOT TAKING JOKES!?
 
Like someone said earlier, the Spongebob Staff are evil bastards who decide to screw with us, here Katie’s just taking the piss and yet many people take it so seriously.
 
I miss the times when jokes were taken as jokes…

What’s that you say, Katie?
 
“”
 
Why yes, that is a very lovely Lampshade you hung there.

Can’t have everyone in one arc.
 
Hope to see them in the next arc :D

I just hope this doesn’t result in a huge backlash from the Brony community. The last thing we need is a sore relationship between the fan base and the comic artists.

I think I’ll skip this issue.
