The 2010s provided each a couple o' good examples of how to reboot a series well and the opposite.

Good:

• FIM: Took a struggling to dying franchise with a recently misogynistic, wasted history of treating young girls like commodities, brought it back to the family-friendly roots of MLP G1 and My Pretty Pony, and turned it into the most memorable generation that never truly wavered in quality.
• DuckTales '17: The original DT was a brave step forward in animation against the toyetic attachments in the 1980s. Widely considered Disney's greatest TV animated series, DT '17 delivered by improving upon the original's weaknesses, standing out on its own with overarching arcs that constantly change the status quo, and deliver loads of heart.

Bad:

• TTG!: Uh, do I even need to explain? Took a really memorable series of heart in TT, replaced it with a show with a really soulless streak and massive ego. At least the movie's decent.
• PPG '16: This soft reboot tries to do too much, yet more often than not, it shows a massive lack of direction and a massive inability to understand what made the original PPG so memorable.

EQG is much more inferior as a product compared to the main series, but it's downright ridiculous to claim it's not part of the FIM timeline. Each of the first three films established it as part of the canon following respective season finales, starting with MMC for EQG, then RR following Twilight's Kingdom, then Re-Mark and the Friendship Games. The rest of EQG deviated more and more from the material from that point forward, but they're as much part of the canonical timeline as Daring Do, Caballeron, and Ahuizotl's truce.

If that ain't enough, the Sirens/Dazzlings from Shadow Play's flashback are the same ones from Rainbow Rocks.

EQG's canon, period.

That cardboard cutout is about 8ft long. Ignore the uncovered bed. Sheets are in the wash.

Hey, it's been such a long time, how is everybody these days?

Anyone here play "Animal Crossing: New Horizons"?

Here we find the Zotl in its natural habitat stalking her prey... *Gasp* IS THAT A DUST BUNNY!? 

Blarg... cleaning my room... my least favorite chore. But hey! At least can finally show you guys my MLP collection when I got it all organized and dusted!!

I'm gonna try not swear, but why the FUCK do people make jokes about being adopted?! Like even in tv shows. I'm watching an episode of Wizards of Waverly Place and they make a biggggg deal outta this one guy being adopted....especially Alex Russo the snarky-ass lil bitch. That's why I actually like Father Knows Beast! Because Smolder actually supported Spike. I needa chill right now, I'm literally so mad.

Hey guys, look what I finished drawing!
