IDW Comics - Story Discussion (Spoilers)

Windy the Windigo song, realized.

@cheezedoodle  
Can’t you actually imagine that in some Rankin-Bass Christmas special?

Windy the windigo was actually pretty kino, I’d love to see a comic (in universe of course) about her.

@Ardashir  
Yeah. Shame it probably couldn’t be embedded in the digital version of the comic.

I want to see the final Legends of Magic comic take the absolute piss out of the Sirens’ Fiendship issue. Something like this:
 
Spike: I always heard that Starswirl defeated the Sirens in some weird music competition.  
Sunburst: That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

@Jarkes  
So not even IDW is pleased with that Fiendship is Magic comic?

@Ardashir  
It was written and drawn in about 30 seconds, because executive meddling.

@Philweasel  
I remember reading that Whitley had it dropped into his lap at the last moment. That seems to happen to him a lot at IDW; do they have a grudge against the guy?

@Jarkes  
Starswirl: Wow, I might not have been great at Friendship like Twilight is, but I’m not a total idiot…

@Ardashir
 
Actually, Ted Anderson wrote the Sirens Fiendship issue.

@Jarkes  
Whoops, my mistake.

@Jarkes  
Star Swirl: That happened, actually.  
(Star Swirl pulls out a Golden Lyre trophy)  
Star Swirl: Nothing to do with the time I banished them, but it did happen. And I’ll defend my title against any of you whippersnappers.

In the Quarterly I find Applejack saying “Go Fish” oddly amusing. Also, Reflections reference and puppy hating. Do they mean Puppy hating?

@Wiimeiser  
Quarterly?

@Itsthinking  
A one shot called “Hasbro Toy Box Quarterly”, featuring MLP, Equestria Girls and Hanazuki.

Does anyone feel like everytime they try and do something interesting and grand with the comics but then either it falls flat on its face and pisses off everyone or feels doomed from the first part and gets worse?

@Background Pony #D16D  
Yes.

@Background Pony #D16D
 
Yes.
 
The deer are the example that jumps to mind most readily, but I do very much get that impression from the main IDW line. Friends Forever tends to deliver better, though.

@FrustrationInExcelsis  
Do you or anybody feel like it keeps happening everytime they do that and it won’t get better?

@Background Pony #D16D  
No, because the Grand Summit arc is going to be amazing.

@Philweasel  
I mean specifically adventure or when a bad guy appears type of stories.

@Background Pony #D16D  
Well frankly the show has never been particularly good at those either.

Then would anyone just prefer the SOL over the action/adventure stories?

@Background Pony #D16D  
I always have.
 
I mean they’re fun for a change of pace, and often have great moments, but they’re always full of plotholes and silliness.
 
Except for Nightmare Rarity and Return of Harmony. For they are godly.

@Philweasel  
So you’d rather have a series like Friends Forever or do you think it should have some Action and Adventure stuff sometimes.
