How do you rank non-cartoon media to the cartoon's canon, /mlp/? Comics, books, creator quotes, anything not animated into S1-7 of the show (plus or minus EQG, whatever). Does Journal of the Two Sisters trump Nightmare lore? Should pegasus Cadence be trusted over Princess Amore? If so, is that a double standard? Why one over the other?

The non-canon trinity

Starlight: Non-canon by redunant sequels
Sunset: Non-canon by spinoff
Nyx: Non-canon by fandom

should probably highlight that those 2 comparisons are just examples, not specific questions.

Show = movie > journals > berrow books > everything else not clearly noncannon > idw comics
>>
>>30179378
Why do the journals & books get preferential treatment?
>>
>>30179378
Shit I forgot to mention that sadly eqg is just as canon as show and movie. I wish that were not the case.
>>
>>30179462
EQG's optional canon. The main show purposefully avoids referencing it so it can be safely ignored. Even Flash Sentry's cameos don't come with a "hey bbygrl member when i bumped into u".
I consider it canon btw, just sayin
>>
>>30179390
Not that poster, but I agree. AKR and GMB are both show writers, therefore books they've worked on count as more canon. The Countess Coloratura ep and latest GM Berrow ep also referenced stuff from books.

EQG is kinda like what the Dragon Ball Movies (prior to BoG) is to Dragon Ball.

FiM = The Movie > books written by staff, current or retired > word of current staff > other official books > other official media like the Flurry Heart shorts > word of retired staff > comics > fandom headcanon

EqG and any media related to it is optional and irrelevant
>>
>>30179526
I wuldn't even go that far. The Dragonball movies never fucking fit. There'd always be SOME major timeline discrepancy. The first was the only exception and wouldn't ya know: it's the only one the show would later reference.
Well, unless you count GT.
Hey, there you go. EQG's the GT. Totally consistent, nobody wants it anyway.

>Flurry Heart shorts
I don't think I've ever heard of these.
Guess I'm net-diving.
>>
>>30179591
>Flurry Heart shorts
Whaaaa
>>
>>30179344
Anything is canon if it supports my argument, non canon if it doesn't.
>>
>>30180914
See, I kinda like that. Because the Journal of the Two Sisters is limiting AF whilst adding nothing of value, whereas the Crystal Princess shit in the comics actually makes a whole lot of sense.
