Does this make Sunset canon now? How much salt is this special going to make?
>>30189617
I want to say yes just to upset a good chunk of the board. At this point, I don't care but to rain hell.
>>30189617
Canon for spinoff series
>>30189653
I did air with the rest of the show. Saying she isn't cannon is just denial at this point.
>>30189617
>Implying she wasn't always canon
>>30189617
It does for me and I hate EQG.
I can't wait to kill my fucking self.
>>30189617
how does an EQG video make it canon? yeah the events of FiM happen in EQG but the events of EQG don't happen in FiM unless its mentioned in FiM
>>30189617
Not at all. This is no different than the first movie
>>30189692
So it's canon just like that was?
>>30189698
Sure, kid
>>30189689
Anon it's one of the episodes. It's a special. There are three of them remember? Three episodes that may have been pony but are no EqG.
Just let that sink in.
>>30189717
what? They are EQG specials, not FiM
>>30189889
yes they are
>>30189617
The truth is yes.
Everyone else here will tell you no as they ready their nooses
>>30189617
>EQG references FiM for the thousandth time
>"it's c-canon now, r-right?"
>>30189946
so FiM would have to mention something from this to make it canon, not the other way around
>>30190041
Lemme ask ya sum.
Why would it make constant references to events and characters in the show if it wasn't canon?
>>30190169
the events of the show happen in eqg. the events of eqg dont happen in the show.
>>30190168
So if there were an episode where Twilight utters the words "Sunset Shimmer" you all would accept it as canon instead of trying to find ways to slip around and say it's not?
>>30190179
yeah. im cool with it being canon, I even want it to be. Seeing Sunset in Equestria made me feel really happy, and I'd love for her to make an appearance in the s7 finale or something.
>>30190192
Why'd they change her magic color?
>>30190203
i dunno. its better than the greenish thing it was before in my opinion.
>>30190179
Of course. I would hate it though.
>>30189617
Until something is mentioned within FiM, its canonicity remains questionable. Sorry lads, you got Glimmer'd, but we haven't been Shimmer'd.
>>30190220
What about the IDW comics? Are they as canon as EQG?
>>30190231
No, comic and show canon contradict each other on several points. The most notable I know of being Chrysalis and the nature of the Changelings, the comic makes them out to be made of wood and their holes being battle scars while the show states them to be insectoid with their holes being naturally formed.
>>30190246
it wouldn't be canon even if there wasn't any contradictions
>>30190262
That's generally how it works with spin-off material, unless it's mentioned in the source material, it isn't strictly canon, but the spin-off material is (somewhat) subject to the source material.
What I guess I'm trying to say is, and it galls me to say it since I'm not a fan of EqG and never will be, EqG is a closer candidate for canonicity in the show than the comics are.
It's still not canon, though.
>>30189682
>>30189617
I dont think even appearing on the actual show would make /mlp/ think shes canon.
>>30189617
I'm just laughing at how the glimmerniggers can't handle it. They've gone total retard - full-on autistic screeching.
>>30191587
Probably this. Those bait posts along the lines of "Nothing past S1 is canon" would suddenly become much more enticing.
>>30189617
>salt
dumb underages
>>30189617
she was a pony in the first movie to, it's still as non-canon as it was back then
