KoGy 187 June 12, 2014 Share June 12, 2014 Hello, I wonder if the comics are canon? I saw some stuff that really uh, made me sad. Thanks for the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen Pathfinder 16,161 June 12, 2014 Share June 12, 2014 Like I mentioned earlier, I do believe they are canon; just not strictly so. The same can be said of the Equestria Girls movie; I believe. The thing is that the comics have no bearing on the show overall, but as the writers of both the show & comics stay in contact with one another, I tend to believe (and prefer) that they are canon. Does that mean that things always gel? Not really as there are some plot issues here and there, but that pretty goes with any large license like Star Wars, Star Trek, and the like. But yeah; I personally believe they are canon. I think there are some words supporting this, but I am having trouble locating them at this point.

Carbon Maestro 1,003 June 12, 2014 Share June 12, 2014 I don't really think so, the comics have no impact on the show whatsoever. It's more like an expanded universe, but the comics can't exist by itself, while the show technically can. Some arcs in the comics makes it definitely seem like it's fanon (Why does Katie and Andy portray Celestia like Bella Swan from that one horrible movie) but most things that appear in the comics don't seem to later reappear in the show.

Brony Number 42 10,069 June 12, 2014 Share June 12, 2014 (edited) Why? What is so horrible in the comics? I have read them all and I like them. Some of them are better than the show.

Brony Number 42 10,069 June 12, 2014 Share June 12, 2014 That's the way it goes. You don't write the material so you don't get to decide what happens. If you try to pick and choose what is true then the whole thing falls apart. Do you know how badly I want to pretend that Equestria Girls was just a bad dream? This is my new signature.

I think you're just taking the comics a little bit too seriously... Yeah it has its moments and shortcomings, but in the end it's the ideas of Andy Price and Katie Cook that are going about there, not necessarily the show's writers. I'd say let it be, it's out there, but you don't have to consider it canon. I know that I certainly don't, but it's good fun. 1 "You learn a lot about people when you listen to the songs that mean something to them."
