I don’t think there is a plan for TYT to visit Skyros

[WickedGames 240]

A lot of people were speculation that that turned up to be the episode “Where Rainbows Are Made” to be something that has to do with Skyros

Now I know there has been hints here and there but because all the 2024 episodes Tell Your Tale were made around the time of Make Your Mark chapters 3,4 and 5 I feel like the people doing TYT though they would put these as hints and previews for future chapters and episodes of Make Your Mark believing it would still be going on in 2024 and that they would explore Skyros there 

Actually I don’t think they have mentioned Skyros in Tell Your Tale whatsoever!

Well, it was in Tell Your Tale that we saw the tapestry that seems to depict Skyros. It seems very likely that Sunny will find her way there eventually.

Like I said these episodes were made probably not knowing Hasbro was gonna pull the axe on Make Your Mark thinking they would get to it and develop on it

I think that carpet showing what could be Skyros is just one of the multiple mysteries that TyT is currently "working", like:

- Misty's Room

- Sunny's mother whereabouts

- The mysterious "universal voice"

- Allura's origins and her brother

- Seaponies (and how the hell everyone knows about them with no explanation)

So it just depends on us waiting to see if they'll ever address any of these again, also, I highly doubt the people behind TyT weren't aware that MyM was meant to end in Chapter 6, let's remember you said it was confirmed that most of MyM was made in 2021-2022, and all of the TyT season 2 episodes so far were made in 2023, so they very likely already had the end of MyM in mind.

Let's also remember, TyT Is the one doing worldbuilding, introducing new characters and story progress now, something it didn't do in Season 1 because that was MyM's work, they wouldn't make 20 minutes specials for nothing, this just convinces me that they already planned for TyT to take the lead long ago.

I sure hope you're right though and they don't visit Skyros in TyT, I don't trust TyT to do that any bit, not even in one of the 20 minutes specials, save that story for a movie or a long 3D special or new chapter

The My Little Pony comics are also starting to pull their own weight in terms of world-building, introducing characters (Violette Rainbow) and species (Zebras) that can make their way into the show. Of course it's up to the Tell Your Tale team whether or not these elements will become canonized into the show. As for Seaponies, they were known in Twilight's time and it's not hard to believe that legends persist about them. Set Your Sail has even introduced a book series specifically about Seaponies, concentrating on the ship Galloping Ghost and its crew of Trenchponies.

As cruel as this sounds is I hope that when they show it it’s abandoned

Comic audience can't be compared to Animated show audience, so it's going to be a problem if they connect the two with no explanation. It made sense for me when they introduced Violette Rainbow into TyT, she didn't seem like a relevant character, so her showing up out of nowhere wouldn't confuse anyone, it wasn't important to the story, now if the comic exclusive stories become canon to animated G5 and are referenced in the show, it'll just confuse the viewers.

"Legends persist about them" doesn't explain the reaction that the modern Mane Six had about them, these are a completely different story, in the 2017 movie, Celestia and Luna knew about the Seaponies, which is expected because during the entire series the two were aware of many things that the Mane Six weren't, and the Seaponies for the Mane Six were clearly something new, they had a actual introduction to their species and story. That just doesn't explain how Izzy was aware of their existence, she was surprised for meeting one but not for discovering one, and worse are the other 5, they had absolutely no reaction to Izzy making a such important discovery, as if it was something ordinary for them. That just doesn't make any sense, look at how the Dragons were introduced in MyM and compare it, they would've showed us if Pones in G5 were aware of the Seapones, they wouldn't learn about them out of nowhere off-screen, I seriously just felt that I missed a episode or a important story point when watching that 20 minutes special, because that moment just wasn't as important as it should be, there is something wrong about it, I'm not buying that argument.

I think it's very likely that it's indeed abandoned actually, but what they discover there could still be very important for the story of G5 and future arcs, at least I hope so, based on how TyT has been doing things, I'm pretty skeptical about this for now

Well, the "Blockywockys" episode of Tell Your Tale is definitely set before Set Your Sail; issue #1 references and makes use of the Boardtrot amusement park from the show. It's possible that the occasional sea-faring pony has had encounters with Seaponies but they are just rare. That would explain the lack of surprise about Izzy's meeting one. Honestly, I don't expect too much detail to be revealed in Tell Your Tale; the runtime just doesn't allow for it. But it would be really great if future episodes of the show references the comics more. That would help a lot with the world-building.

How much of the TYT comics are canon to the actual show though?

That's up for debate! We might consider everything canon until it is contradicted by the show, but that's pretty generous.

It’ll probably be saved for a special at this point

Just important to note that just because the events aren't contradicted, it doesn't mean they are canon, there's the possibility that the stories in the comics were planned to not affect the animated continuity, in other words, they're not meant to be relevant. But based on what I saw in a few images, think it's undeed more possible that the comics will be "confirmed" as "non-canon" if TyT" contradicts them, they presented a lot of new things apparently.

Honestly at this point, I don't even think the G5 continuity is any coeherent, the mini arc of Opaline stealing the cutie marks in TyT was very contradictory to what was seen in MyM, and the G4 connections are almost all absent in TyT (Spike even doesn't show up in the recap of Opaline's defeat), these are probably just mistakes but I think this tells us that we shouldn't put much thought on it.

For something big as Skyros, maybe there's the possibility they will use two specials for it???

Like I said, "everything is canon" might be overly generous. I expect that some things will become canon (like Violette) and others will not. Personally, I don't think that the ruins of Canterlot should be so close to the New Equestria of the show. The entire Discord arc from the comic can probably be discarded.

Wait, but we don't know if Violette Rainbow showing up in animated format means that her comic story really happened in the continuity? I don't know if there's something relevant there, but I think you just really meant specific elements instead of complete stories? Which makes sense but that would make these characters not the same from the comics, they would be re-adapated into the animated format with no connection to their comic counterpart, like, imagine Primrose showing up but not making any reference to her interaction with Sunny in the 1st Videogame. Or maybe they just want to make things vague, which is more likely to me, I don't think they would force animation viewers to read the comics to keep up with the continuity, unless...I have I guess that maybe the Seaponies just aren't going to be relevant for the story that Animated G5 is trying to tell at all, that's why they making stories with them in the comics, which could be the explanation why Izzy and the others aren't surprised about the Seapones in the 20 minutes special, because that moment just isn't important for TyT? I don't know, just thought about this possibility, still need to read the comics.

I believe we will be getting the 2nd special this year, and the other 2 in 2025, makes sense, unless they plan on making more specials.

I think the specials in October and November according to the schedule might be holiday specials 

Also they could start the Skyros arc in the comics and have TYT adapt it

Showing Skyros in the comics before TyT? I really don't see that happening, unless they changes things a lot when adapting, I think it's more likely that the comics are just going to take a different story route from TyT, with the comics making a story arc focused on the Seaponies and TyT doing a story arc about something else.

Just like the G4 comics did.

Though then guess I am saying is that don’t be surprised if they pull out a “Opaline lied and Skyros isn’t really out there it’s just a legend twist” and that it’s time for Sunny to rewrite alicorn history
