It’s the same for the CCG, it’s all run past Hasbro first before it goes into production. Flavor text on the ccg seems to subtly hint on the comics as well as other things, so lets just call it a thing.
The difference is that they’re going to their Hasbro contacts. They’re not going to the writers of the show. And since they say that their MLP Hasbro contact is their Hasbro contract for all of the franchises, there’s quite a few details that aren’t collaborated on.
Well, maybe.
That’s pretty much the same amount of scrutiny the episodes get.
But I don’t except Hasbro to even care about the canon written.
It’s still kind of its own universe - characters having their own personalities and such.
From a panel I went to with some IDW artists, they say it’s pretty much that the guys generate ideas and send them to Hasbro, and then Hasbro gives them notes back on what they want changed or what they must include, and that’s typically the extent of interaction for a lot of cases.
I think Enterplay gets a bunch of info from Hasbro regarding the show, since they’ve known about things (and referenced them in ccg and trading cards) before they’ve been revealed in the show.
Books? Well, those made by Hasbro has Hasbro-canon
@Poptard
The comics makes up all kinds of canons…
Daring Do written by Twilight’s mother
…but I haven’t read them, and I don’t remember that much that people has claimed as canon just because it was in the comic.
I don’t think Hasbro approves the canon, but do approve the comic itself.
IDW level canon, I’d say. It’s approved by Hasbro, but if the show and the books/comic contradict each other, the show will win.
How would the books be classified?
There are 4 kinds of canon:
• IDW-canon, that applies to the comics.
• Enterplay-canon, that applies to ccg and trading cards.
• Hasbro-canon, that applies to toys.
• DHX Media-canon, that applies to the show.
We need to understand the differences.
I bet she is, if the fanfics I’ve read of her are anything to go by.
