Description
This would be starting on issue #17, anticipated for March. (following 2 issues of Pirates, and 2 issues of the magical bookworm).
This is also confirms that the comic plots are at least seen by the show runners (it’s been stated before but this is pretty clear)

I always take the show that Twilight is the viewer-surrogate, that she’s learning much about the world (outside of her ivory tower in Canterlot) as we are at the same time, if there’s no other obvious POV that we should be taking. Hence while all Mane 6(7) are well developed characters and easily can have their own episodes without pulling background stories out of thing air, Twilight is still the one with the most significant story.
I will say that this is a much better approach than Twilight being shoehorned into every episode (eg her presence in Showstoppers). Further, giving her OCD-like tendencies (Lesson Zero / Spike at your Service ) as a critical fault makes her imperfect, which is important for a character that otherwise could be taken as OPed.
I have no idea what.
Being their informal leader did not make Twilight the “main character”, and Faust confirmed that her own vision was for an ensemble comedy of sorts. So for S1 at the very least, that simply isn’t the case. Twilight had the most screen time, but that was merely necessary for the sake of the friendship letters back then. Best Night Ever was a great season finale, and it had altogether very little focus on Twilight.
Episodes where Twilight IS made out to be the main character of the show tend to come across as irritatingly contrived, and nowhere is that more evident than in you-know-what.
I can understand that, but overall fans complain if Twilight ever does anything, solves any problems, or is treated like the main character, and stuff.
Ironically, she was pretty much always the main character, (even in season 1) or leader in some ways, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t gotten to see other main characters do cool things in the show, and/or comic, as well.
Yes, that’s them.
(Sorry for the double reply) By the way, Katie Cook and Andy Price also did the story and art for issues 9-12, right?
A common complaint I’ve noticed about issue #4 is that some people feel that the rest of the mane six were reduced to Twilight’s “cheerleading squad” (their words, not mine), given that they were trapped in cocoons during the final fight and Twilight essentially did all the work in defeating Chrysalis.
Regardless, alot of people enjoyed the story arc, and I’ve rarely heard any negative things about it. (Aside from a few complaints about the “darker” moments.)

I see, sorry about that.
I didn’t say she was bad, I said they had better writers that I would rather see work on the series.
I believe you are oversimplifying things. The Chysalis arc didn’t make fans fall in love with the comics, it merely retained attention. Thd first issue, let’s not forget, had a very high number of pre-orders, just because it was more official pony.
Katie Cook is a “bad” writer? Dude, she wrote the entire “Return of Queen Chrysalis” arc. The original story that made fans fall in love with the comics.
I bet she’ll pin it up on the fridge where everyone can see what a good job he did.
Worst part about it is that it wasn’t even PART of the model until they made the “joke.” And the vehicles that formed the legs didn’t HAVE any wrecking balls.
It wasn’t so bad apart from…
…y’know, that.
The solics for Jan 2014 (from last month) affirm the arc after pirates is about a magical bookwoom that invades the Ponyville library and starts bringing some of the characters (DARING DO) to life.
Wait a minute…
That’s 13 and that’s been on the books for a bit.
