Everything that happens in the series is canon, right?

[ManaMinori 4,146]

Everything that goes on in Friendship is Magic is canon, no matter what, because it's the main and original medium for mlp, right?

 

So since Flash Sentry appears in "three's a crowd" as a member of Cadance's royal guard, and Discord rips open an AU in "make new friends but keep discord", AND Pinkie pulls her doubles out of their AU's into Equestria, in "Too many pinkie Pie's", confirming that alternate worlds actually do exist parallel to FiM's world, both instances happening in the show itself prove that EQG is canon, right?

[Metemponychosis 1,262]

Not for me. All that means is that the pony exists, that Discord can open dimensional portals and that the pool can clone ponies, not necessarily pull them out of a AU.

[Mesme Rize 15,690]

The Pony Flash Sentry exists. But it's not the same one from Equestria girls.

 

Equestria Girls is his own canon and as long as nothing is getting into the show from it, it stays that way.

"Canon" is kind of a rough one to solidify because some people don't like the EQG series so they'll vehemently argue that its not canon. 

 

I subscribe to the idea that there is a multiverse in the mlp:fim series. The comics are its own reality, the show is its own reality, the eqg world is its own reality, the world that interacts with the eqg world is its own reality, ect

 

So technically it can all fall under the umbrella of "canon" but it doesn't all have to exist in the same reality, if that makes sense.

I know. But there exists a pony FS before and afyer EQG, in the pony world. Same one as seen in Three's a crowd.

Which means since he's seen in both the show and movie, along with onfirmation AU's exist in both the show and EQG, means Flash is canon and So is EQG

whether they choose to deny or accept, Flash Sentry IS seen to exist in FIM. Parallel worlds, as shown by Discrd CAN exist. Both, since seen in the series ARE canon. There's no denying that.

 

Since FS is shown as a pony both in FiM, and also EQG, how can one deny that it's not the same canon?

[Jeric 46,873]

If the end result of the thought experiment is to show that EQG is canon, you shouldn't worry. Friendship Games referenced the Season Five finale, Rainbow Rocks referenced several episodes in FiM.

Because they don't like it. That's really the only reasoning they need. I don't subscribe to that flimsy reasoning, but hey it is what it is.

So far, the show and the movies have done a pretty good job of not inferfering with each other, so you'd think that would be enough to placate said critics.

In the age of the internet, stating something that runs against someone else's opinion is tantamount to drawing a battle line unfortunately :/

 

Personally I love the idea of it all being under the umbrella of canon while being a multiverse. Not only can you just focus on the show's "universe" instead of the broader canon, but you could also speculate the sheer amount of possibilities that a multiverse can bring.

If there is a reality where everyone you know is fundamentally the same but an entirely different species (Like eqg human and ponies), then how many other parallel realities could stem from that? It really leaves a lot of flexibility for imaginative types.

It's basically like folders and subfolders on a computer.

Well, we know for sure that the comics and equestria girls series are one in the same, because Twilight mentions the portal and sunset shimmer, etc.
We don't know if the EG movies and FiM are connected, and we dont know if the comics and FiM are connected.
The only one that we do know is that the comics and EG take place in the same universe, according to the comics.

If eq girls was canon then that would prove my theory that there is an alternate world of ponies(joking) eq girls is not canon

may I bang my head, now?

I don't like Twilight or Ce- Sunbutt, but they are also both in EqG as ponies. And humans. Are these people you speak of who so vehemently deny what's in FiM canon in plain sight, the existence of FS in the episode he appeared in, deny the episode in its entirety, to try and make claims to EqG, where the same pony FS is shown, isn't canon ?

Sugarcube I've beat my head against that particular wall myself far to many times now lol. You'd be surprised how selective people can be when they REALLY want to believe one thing and really DON'T want to believe another. This extends to everything not just this fandom.

but the series is canon, yes?

 

And the pony in "Three's a Crowd",and AU's (TMPP'S / MNFBKD) exist, do they not?

 

Does not the same pony in the same world exist also at the beginnig and end of EQG?

I know, but for the love of Flutterponies, it's all in FIm canon. You...they...can't just write off entire episodes that prove that the two are canon, and say it's not. It's beyond asinine, when you're looking at FiM, and the proof is right there in all its canon-ness.

Fudgin' Flutterponies, man!

I need to send that to Larson, maybe he'll work it into the show as a swear word XD

by all means. You do that

 

Maybe we'll actually get Flutterponies in the show. *grumbles*

[Silver Letter 1,832]

I would think that as Friendship is Magic interacts with Equestria Girls, they are tied together on a significant level, putting them in the same "canon" level.

eq girls is just fillers the actual series is canon

[ManaMinori 4,146]

eq girls is just fillers the actual series is canon

the series shows FS and AU's existing within its episodes. Therefore EQG is canon to FiM

[just a luna fan 50]

I got a solution lets ask Hasbro

You guys can do it cuz I'm tired I have school tomorrow and its 11:00pm where I'm at

Maybe this is off topic a bit but although I reject EQG  I think the character of Sunset Shimmer had potential to be an interesting (pony) character in FiM. She's more interesting than Starlight Glimmer (who incidentally I liked in 5:1 but really wish she hadn't been redeemed, especially using the "tragic backstory they did with her...but I've made this complaint before so I'll stop now.)

I already believed that FiM and EG were both canon, but with what Jeric just said, that just reinforces it for me . 

 

But is really a matter of taste. Sometimes, people can come up with a legitimate argument why something is not canon, while others just deny the canon due to dislike and taste. 

 

But in the end, it is really only Hasbro or the story writers, that can say whether something is canon or not, but what we say, is really just subjective (both to those who say something is canon and to those that deny it) . 

[sweetolebob18 728]

I've been trying to put the 1st 3 season's episodes in order.  (Hasbro says it covered 1 year & IMO that is physically possible especially if you assume at least some of the Crusader episodes took place during other episodes)  The 1st EQ Girls movie took place after Magical Mystery Cure & before Princess Twilight (T was an alicorn & still had the magic "crowny thing")

 

In short, everything is canon even the parts that contradict each other.

[SolyWack 482]

I'm in awe at the amount of people who still argue Equestria Girls isn't canon. I guess I do have to applaud them for their tenacity.
