I'm still mad
Stay mad bro
Faust got shafted
>>26970020
Why?
Hop on the "nothing past season 2 is canon" train already. We got chill pills and cute pones. Not to mention better fiction than Hasbro would ever let be written.
Get in.
>>26970034
It's not even about Faust for me it's about Trixie
Why the fuck can't she have gone to the school she clearly has the skill
>Comics
>Canon
>>26970020
About what? I don't get what this image is trying to say.
>>26970020
Does dragon doodie only smell bad to ponies?
>>26970020
mad about non canon SJW shit further cementing its status as non canon?
>>26970053
>>26970064
Comics aren't cannon but Hasbro's word is Trixie never went to the school and it's bullshit I don't even care about Faust she's only in the image because the guy who made it cared that she said it
>>26970037
But I don't have a ticket.
>>26970020
I should probably make a version of this image without the Faust tweet to allow the discussion to be more focused on trixie
>>26970020
Wierd becasue Hasbro (McCarthy) exec who approve IDW comics told Anderson that Trixie didn't atend that school. Trixie only appeared there in that panel becasue Hickey went rougue and made "not Trixie" character anyway.
Can someone explain what the problem is or what? I don't read the comics.
>>26970246
From what I understand, the "Reflections" arc (which had something to do with Celestia creating a double of herself that had all her negative aspects due to some kind of youth trauma; I'm unclear here) shat on everyone's interest.
I personally just stopped reading. I was buying issues and never getting around to reading them so I eventually just quit.
>>26970246
This comic is about when twilight went to celestias school for gifted unicorns at when this page was previewed everybody got really excited because Trixie's mum
Then we find out it was never Trixie because Hasbro are arseholes
>>26970259
That's fucking it?
I thought it was implying it was Trixie but then she chickened out and didn't attend the school, therefore it was contradicting what Lauren said.
So it's not Trixie, so what the fuck is the problem?
>>26970259
Also it was a really shitty issue Trixie's appearance was all we had to cling onto to salvage it.
Most of the angry people have 1 of 2 issues
The faustfags angry that Hasbro is going against Faust
The trixiefags angry Trixie is getting fucking shafted
>>26970264
The fact that Hasbro decided she dident go to the school it's like they listened to all those retards who insist Trixie is unskilled or something.
The not graduating was a compromise suggested by the author but it would be even worse as there's no reason she would fail to graduate
>>26970274
I wonder how her next appearence in the show will be fucked up.
>>26970274
I don't understand where you are getting the idea that Trixie didn't attend the school because someone that looks like her did.
>>26970299
I'm worried they will pander to either
>those who think she's unskilled
>those who think the ponys will still hold a grudge unlike with every other redemed antagonist
Or worse both
>>26970311
Take a closer look at the bottom left of the image
>rejected by Hasbro on the grounds that Trixie never went to the school for gifted unicorns
>>26970322
Oh ok, totally blanked on even seeing that part of the image.
>>26970274
>there's no reason she would fail to graduate
She was overconfident and didn't bother studying
easy tier headcanon
>>26970274
>there's no reason she would fail to graduate
There's literally every reason that applies to anyone attending college ever
>talented, but spent too much time screwing around
>indecisive, decided to quit
>decided that they didn't need to graduate in order to do what they wanted to do
>expelled for fucking the teacher's aide
etc. etc.
>>26970094
Everyone has a ticket, they just need to find it within themselves.
>>26970037
I love that train. It reminds me of better times.
>>26970115
Sauce?
>>26970037
Can't I just pick and choose what episodes are canon like I would with 40k
I was going to make a thread for this, but might as well ask it here. How would you fix the comics?
>>26970037
KYS
>>26970398
They should actually have some interesting stories and for fuck's sake, stop contradicting the show's canon
>>26970398
Stop hiring these shitty writers.
They ruined the only good part of a shitty comic
>>26970371
We're always here 4u.
>>26970396
We don't discriminate towards post-2 curious people on the train, as long as everyone acknowledges the objective superiority of the first two seasons as whole seasons.
>>26970403
See, this is the kind of stuff we can begin to minimize by supporting the train.
>>26970020
Except the artist still put Trixie in anyway, so obviously Hasbro changed their minds about this.
>>26970020
>Trixiefags being mad their obnoxious waifu isn't pushed more.
Well then she shouldn't be represented by people spamming to the point of being obnoxious like Seth, or Yamino, or the Smiling Pony.
>>26970433
>>26970383
First reply should be yours, buckaroo.
>>26970438
No Hasbro just dident comunicate with the artist because Hasbro are retarded
>>26970445
There's pushing and then there's pushing away
>>26970433
D does the train run at mmmmystry speeds
>>26970452
Hasbro checks and approves each page before and after coloring.
Why do we care about Hasbro's shit opinions anyway? We've always gone with Faust and other writers over them before, why suddenly get all butthurt about this now?
>>26970020
Trixie couldn't have possibly attended the magic school because here name is not celestial. I mean,
Twilight Sparkle
Sunset Shimmer
Startlight Glimmer
Starswirl
Sunburst
all names relating to celestial bodies. If your name is not like that, you can't be good at magic. And indeed, Trixie is not.
... Did Moondancer attend? Do we know?
>>26970459
Not him but Seth was pretty annoying with her.
>HEY NEW SEASON MAYBE WE'LL SEE TRIXIE?

>>26970495
Moondancer did attend, she was in Twilight's classes and gave Twilight a first edition magic textbook as a gift. The only "celestial" part of her name is "moon".
Trixie's full name on Hasbro merchandise is Trixie Lulamoon. Note the "moon".
>>26970274
Jesus fuck who fucking cares maybe there's different school and Trixie was always supposed to be that guy who act all tough but doesn't know shit. It doesn't matter.
>>26970517
The "Lulamoon" portion was a fanon addition, so that doesn't count.
>>26970495
Trixie is good at magic you fucking faggot if she wasent nobody would watch her shows
>>26970503
Where can I see some examples of this autism.
>>26970538
At least more than half of the posts on EqD.
>>26970529
>fanon addition
Nope, it came from official merchandise. It's even trademarked.
>>26970495
All of Twilight's Canterlot friends were there. Celestial names notwithstanding.
>>26970529
False.
She's credited as Trixie Lulamoon in the spinoff Equestria Girls credits as well as on certain toys.
>>26970529
Her name is Trixie Lulamoon in the credits of the Equestria Girls movies.
>>26970546
And Minuette had braces apparently...(0_O;)
>>26970465
The train runs as fast as you want it to, bb.
>>26970543
>>26970548
>>26970551
It's ON official merchandise NOW and in the credits NOW because FANON added the Lulamoon portion.
It's the same thing with "Octavia Melody" and "Steven Magnet" and all that. Fanon gave them names, Hasbro accepted them and eventually released merchandise / credits that made those names canon.
You fucking morons.
The point is that in her initial incarnation she was simply named "Trixie". Fans said stuff along the lines of "Hey most unicorns have celestial-related names" so they added the "Lulamoon" and as it wasn't stupid or offensive Hasbro eventually said "Ok her canon last name can be Lulamoon".
Now fuck off, newfags.
Lulamoon was tacked on to make the name trademarkable. Just like they misspelled Cadence as Cadance.
>>26970566
You're right about Steven Magnet, but wrong about the rest. Octavia is never, ever been called Melody. Lulamoon first showed up on a blindbag on a Trixie colored Rarity mold with Trixie's cutie mark.
>>26970566
So you admit the Lulamoon part is canon now? Good. Therefore it counts for canon.
>>26970586
I never said it didn't count for canon, I am contradicting the idea that she originally had a celestial-based name as support for her attending the school. She didn't. That was added later.
>>26970585
>Lulamoon was tacked on to make the name trademarkable.
This. Lulamoon was added later.
>>26970596
But the current conversation about if she attended the school is about a recent comic made well after she got a name
>>26970566
>>26970585
>>26970586
Jesus fuck you guys.
Lulamoon come from a blind bag. There was a pony with a similar color scheme and CM (Rarity HS) called "Lulamoon". Like DJ pon-3, bronies took it as her Last name/Stage name, THEN Hasbro made it canon for Trixie. The original toy wasn't her, just a recolor.
ALso pretty Octavia's name is Octavia melody, at least in the Game for example.
>>26970606
Fuck I derped hard.
"Pretty sure that Octavia's name was mentionned as "Melody" in some instance including the Phone Game.
>>26970596
Yes, it was added later. By Hasbro.
Do you know what a retcon is?
Speaking of pony fan names why do they continue to insist on that djpone shit for vinyl
>>26970615
Maybe Vinyl Scratch is too generic for it to be trademark?
DJ Pon-3 is so off and doesn't roll on the tongue at all so I'm pretty sure until they give them another name it'll stay a stage name in the fanon.
>>26970037
>s1 with no coherent lore
>s2 with hardly any other lore
>now that lore is being added you reject it
truly the cancer of the board.
>>26970636
Except the Lore is actually telling us right now that she didn't go there.
The ONE who said was going there was Faust... during Season 3. After she left. Which technically makes HER non cannon and yet the OP is butthurt and reject the truth that his waifu is shit.
>>26970648
As I said several times I don't give a fuck about Faust this is about Hasbro ruining the one good part of this comic
>>26970648
indeed. if we counted what people had hoped to do as canon rather than what happened then the s3 finale would be the best episode thus far.
but then it wouldnt be muh faust and muh season 2.
>>26970658
Well, Hasbro didn't decide to remove the artwork of Trixie for whatever reason, so in the end it didn't even matter.
>>26970658
I tried to read them. And I've read some bad shit before. I couldn't get past the second story arc. It was all just too boring and the art was barely passable.
>>26970664
Hasbro didn't know she's there and Anderson explained it as "Trixie appearing but didn't made it into actually get past the first day" or some shit
>>26970664
That mean, in pure show canon, Trixie didn't attend.
It's only Faust canon in her head. Just like Discord is still a stone statue.
>>26970636
I honestly cannot believe you're still posting that.
1-2 was like a cool roller coaster, 3+ is like fucking a septic tank, blah blah blah. Same as the last two times.
>>26970658
The fact that they removed her literally tells you that removing her is Lore
Also
>the entire comic quality is on wether a unicorn is present for a few picture. Her biggest role being her laughing at twilight.
You're the reason we have retarded comic reviews.
>>26970708
its easier than arguing with the literally autistic who dont realize season 2 was full of the same people; calling anyone who liked it a shit eater.
>>26970681
>Hasbro didn't know she's there
There is no proof of this. Hasbro is supposed to check every page before and after coloring so clearly they didn't care enough to remove Trixie, either because they changed their minds or it wasn't something they cared strongly enough about to bother changing.
>>26970691
Pretty much this.
I don't see the problem here.
>>26970717
No the quality overall is horrible but Trixie was the last salvageable bit
And I never said it wasent cannon I'm complaining that it is cannon
>>26970681
I don't really care if she ever attended CSFGU but I would like to see some character development on her to explain her drive to be seen as a powerful mage instead of embracing her ability with spectacular visual spells and prestidigitation. I'm not her biggest fan, but I think that with her character already set up as much as it was that Starlight Glimmer was entirely unnecessary. GlimGlam's whole plotline would have been awesome af with Trixie and the redemption arc would have made more sense.
>>26970720
Hasbro hardly even know what's going in the tv show background. You can't expect them to find any visual contradictions in the panels and hunt for bg ponies. This is why Twilight's mother was a Daring Do writer in the comics. Becasue Hasbro fucked it up. And so they did with Trixie with the exception that it wasn't really a contradiction as we don't know if that comic Trixie really attended the school or just went there and never came back after first day.
>>26970733
>No the quality overall is horrible but Trixie was the last salvageable bit
Literally autism.
It wasn't that bad of a comic. It's bland and basically about teenage pregnancy but it was safe and less "canon breaking" as Reflection or "retarded" as the bull arc.
>>26970736
I guess she was a self made magician who ditched college and followed different ways in gaining the knowledge of tricks instead real powerfull magic
>>26970733
Hi Seth.
>>26970738
>This is why Twilight's mother was a Daring Do writer in the comics
Incorrect.
>>26970746
Celestia was fucking retarded
And there was a severe lack of male unicorns
>>26970750
This made me headcanon a story about her being born to Earth Pony parents who were totally over the moon about having a unicorn daughter and constantly bragged to other parents about how their foal would grow up to be a Great and Powerful wizard.Her bravado and attitude always seemed consistent with the idea that she had someone unnamed that she was trying to impress or gain acknowledgement from
>>26970780
>And there was a severe lack of male unicorns
Just like during the Lauren Faust era of the show!
It warms my heart when parts of her vision are kept alive even today.

You realise it means that if the show does a flashback to Twilight's childhood they'll also won't be allowed to implement what should be canon, right?
>>26970907
>>26972281
>they'll also won't be allowed to implement what should be canon,
It's. not. canon.
Faust's lore is gone, accept it or leave. For the same reason Twilicorn is a thing.
How hard is it to get that.
>>26972733
>Leave.
Why? Where was the denial?
>>26970356
I actually like the first three reasons. It would add to why she's so arrogant and could form the basis for her third-person speech. Maybe she fucked up, or was constantly teased for being shitty and developed her personality from it.

>>26973898
Welcome to 4chan, enjoy your stay
No it turns out it really is supposed to be Trixie.
>>26973963
Why do they pretend to care about what Faust wants when all of the writers on the comic relish in buttfucking what she (and the people who came after her who try to keep what she wanted in mind) tried to do at every single conceivable turn?
>>26973963
The OP said as much, it's a minor art-mixup.
>>26973996
Less of a mix-up and more of a coincidence.
Ted wanted Trixie but didn't put it in the final script. Brenda put in Trixie even though he didn't tell her too. A happy accident that pays lip service to Faust's wishes. We got lucky.
>>26974039
Except Hasbro said no. Makes it a non canon issue.
>>26974150
Hasbro also says all comics are 100% canon.
Who do we listen to then? Hasbro's public statements regarding the comics, or what Ted "Bronies need to die" Anderson merely claims Hasbro says?
>>26974231
No they don't. They say that they're canon unless the show says differently. Same with the movies. You should listen because they make the rules on the show.
>>26974351
Alright then, has the cartoon said or shown that Trixie didn't attend Celestia's school? No.
Therefore the show has not said differently and Trixie has indeed canonically attended Celestia's school.
>>26970274
>like they listened to all those retards who insist Trixie is unskilled or something
I mean I know trixiefags are even more autistic than rainbowfags but this is just pathetic.
>>26974374
Not if the higher ups say she didn't. I was just saying that you were wrong about them saying the comics are 100% canon. As much as I love Trixie and would have preferred her being in the school for reasons stated in >>26970356 and >>26973727 but is just isn't so.

If she wasent skilled nobody would watch her shows

>>26970495
...Trixie's last name is Lunamoon.
>>26976379
Faust isn't canon anymore, i'm not a fan of the fandom
>Trixie was really good at magic
lolnope, cheap parlor tricks are cantrips in a world where magic is common. Why do you think she boasted so much about her abilities? No pony would care that she can cast prestidigitation when every other unicorn also can. She had to fabricate bullshit stories and "outperform" three other ponies, two of which weren't unicornsspeaking volumes on how OP magic is, nerf plsand the one unicorn was so vain that a hair color change sent her off in an autistic fit.
With that in mind, it's called "Celestia's school for -Gifted- Unicorns" not "Celestia's Special Ed for Inept Unicorns". Hence Trixie never went to college and Hasbro made the right call to squash that idea.
GO TO BED SETH THREAD
>>26970529
>The "Lulamoon" portion was a fanon addition, so that doesn't count
>being this fucking dumb
Trixie "Lulamoon" happened because Hasbro is shit at names, but couldn't stand the fact that her show name was better than her toy name.
Same goes for Lyra "Heartstrings", olny they were buttflustered that the fans came up with a cooler-sounding name this time..

Maybe that's because every other unicorn we saw wasn't bragging about his magic. And being too busy being background or supporting character;never getting focused on their abilities ,life goals or significance.

Are you retarded?
>>26980030
Some people had a autismo attack because of Twalot going super sayain in S3, others just got lazy stopped watching the show but refuse to leave the fandom for some reason, or at least that's what I can gather
>>26970020
So am I. If they didn't want to make more content about her because she didn't sell as well as other characters, that's fine. But why do that? The best background for her is magic school dropout with some small magic training, and gifted for illusion, who left to follow her dream
>>26981053
Trixie is probably one of the more popular support characters in the show, the reasoning is purely probably that nothing in the show itself has ever been explained about Trixie's background, and the people who made the decision don't remember an old ass Lauren Faust tweet that only fans probably took note of to begin with

Yup. Pretty much.
The show gets almost 400 000 viewers weekly on Discovery Family alone, while the comic rarely sells more than 20 000 copies. There are literally fanfics that are more popular than the IDW comics (and rightfully so).
Post yfw Pencils is better than the official comic "artists"

Shilling for attention is literally all his life.
Same as with Jim Miller, who will defend and overhype Fim no matter hor fucked up it is because as he confessed to equestria Daily, he suffers of MASSIVE self esteem issues for being fat, bald and ugly, so Fim gives him a huge ego boost he will never get anywhere else.
>>26984090
Is there a particular comic he's shilling for Hasbro, or is he talking generally?
>>26984152
He desperately wants to be a writer for IDW pony comics, so he ALWAYS shills their pony comics no matter how fucking awful they can be.
>>26984152
He's responding to someone who said that FiM #43 (The one with Pinkie making comics) is going to be bad because he's suggesting what people said here, that it'll just be a box where Cook will go after "critics" saying they don't understand.
Also,
