History WMG / MylittleponyFriendshipIsMagicIDW

* Guess 2: Her/Himself. Seeing as we've already had a ''Franchise/{{Bioshock}}'' shout out, a [[Videogame/BioshockInfinite Lutece]] situation would not surprise me.

Much like TheBatmanAdventures was with WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries.

Much like [[ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog another series about colorful critters]].

[[WMG: There'll be an arc where a LastOfHisKind WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Luvcat seeks {{Revenge}} on the Changelings for what they did to his kind in the ''Return of Queen Chrysalis'' arc.]]
He'll put on some JadeColoredGlasses, find some ArtifactOfDoom, and begin tormenting the Changelings just as they did to his kind--sadly, he'll also invoke HeWhoFightsMonsters in the process. Chrysalis, forced to swallow her pride, will pull an EnemyMine with the Mane 6 to stop him.

Denied their original escape route, the umbrum forces beneath the Crystal Empire were forced to develop an alternative. This led to them somehow [[TheCorruption corrupting]] Radiant Hope during one of her return visits to the Crystal Empire, and when she returned to Canterlot, the corruption spread to Princesses Celestia and Luna, and from there began to spread across all of Equestria. Sombra, meanwhile, grows to become the king of the Crystal Empire, and [[TheGoodKing rules it wisely and justly]] until he is overthrown by the corrupted Princess Cadance. He then somehow manages to wrest control of part of Canterlot away from Celestia and Luna (probably with the help of Discord, who in this timeline must have been freed by Sombra and converted to his cause), and rules from there as a king-in-exile. This is why, at the end of the Reflections arc, Sombra is able to make the world such a better place simply by draining all the corruption from Celestia and Luna: since both he and the corruption are all part of the same umbrum force, he's essentially just sending it back where it belongs.

[[WMG: There will be an arc where a LastOfHisKind WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Luvcat seeks {{Revenge}} on the Changelings for their deeds in the ''Return of Queen Chrysalis'' arc.]]

* Alternatively, they do ''[[TransformersShatteredGlass My Little Pony: Shattered Glass]]'', where the jerks and bullies from the show become the Elements of Harmony, the Mane Six are jerks, villains are good guys, etc.

Similar to how ''Recap/JustForSidekicks'' and ''Recap/GamesPoniesPlay'' were simultaneous episodes.
* {{Jossed}} due to the appearance of Luna and three of the Mane Six in Issue #9. None of them had any time to visit a festival during the Nightmare Arc. [[spoiler: Especially not Rarity who was captured and turned into the next Nightmare Moon right at the beginning of the story.]]

She does express an interest in rescuing her big sister, and a confrontation with [[spoiler:Nightmare Rarity]] would hit pretty hard in the feels.

The Equestria Girls world: It'd be a good way to show what's happened. The arc name, "Reflections", could be a hint to this.\\
An alternate universe where the Mane 6 never became friends: This could show what would've happened had the Mane 6 had never forged their friendship.

[[folder:Story Arc 4]]
[[WMG:Princess Cadance is pregnant]]
Which leads her and Shining to reminisce about the day they met and how they got this far.
* This seems unlikely given the first issue, but maybe she'll drop that bomb after the flashback.

[[WMG: The JerkJock will show up at the end of the comic stuck with a pathetic job]]
Like maybe scrubbing toilets at Canterlot High.
* Jossed; it turns out he grew out of his jerk phase and became a nicer pony later on. At the end of the comic, he actually walks into the restaurant everyone's eating at and he and Shining exchange friendly greetings.

[[WMG: Buck is a Changeling]]
He was sent by Chrysalis to feed off the love and admiration of gullible teenage ponies and the young princess. Shining and friends unknowingly prevent an invasion, which leads to Chrysalis having her revenge years later in "A Canterlot Wedding"

*** AlternateContinuity is becoming increasingly likely, as the season 4 writers have not read the comics and likely will joss them. Certainly for the best, given their mismatched tone and out of character moments relative to the show.

In a later issue, the Mirror Mane Six will travel to the main universe and attack Celestia and Luna under the orders of their princesses. When Celestia reveals that eliminating her and Luna will destroy their Princesses as well, Mirror Twilight tells her she had feigned loyalty to Mirror Celestia for years to rule all of Mirror Equestria herself and now has the means to be able to take our four Princesses with one stone.
