>>5708 >oh God the discussion of what´s canon or not. I mean, I simply put the entire gen 4 under canon, EQG as a spin off (except for the sirens because they also appeared in the show bcause they are interconnected) and the comics as complementary additional material. About special content/episodes, they also count as canon.
Simple rational answer. Two reasons why I go through this is: 1) There is sometimes things that have changed/implications that were removed from season to season so in viewing the canon as one whole I do want to try to decide what is the most "rational" view to certain details as canon. 2) In making legitimate more conservative theories I feel that it would be just as important to look at the intent and mentality at the time. Hence why Celestia being a tyrant would be impossible in Season 1 but some darker meanings in Season 5 or 7 being an actual intention of the writers. Additionally, I think some sort of "weight" could be applied to Seasons and more background details based on this.
>>5710 >I consider the 8th season as the normalization of the entire map of Equestria That is a very good point.
>.and you cannot call it exactly a fan service one either because the school wasn´t well received in certain parts of the community. Another point is that lore in itself is arguably fan service. Perhaps the lore in itself is an arbitrary designation? After all, Season 7 was technically a fanfic almost toward the end bringing all these elements into play. What I mean with Lore I mean that the Season has the most organized story where I think they were planning both forward and back. You wouldn't say the Spike being gone on royal business back in Season 1 would have much thought out behind it but in Season 7 A Health of Information arguably has a fair bit.
>>5712 >oh very clever. Very very clever. I see what you did there. *rolls eyes* Legitimate source. Man'iac is indeed one and she could probably dance weird with her mane.
>And yes, for some reason the video was blocked which looks weird honestly. That's odd.
