I can easily beleive that there are conspiracy theories about Celestia. Really I'd be surprised if there weren't. And most of the ponies we've seen have reason to be respectful, but there are a lot of ponies out there.

On the other hand, I'm not sure if the average pony knows enough about Changelings for conspiracy theories to develop.

You kidding? Not knowing squat about changelings would probably just lead to more ridiculous theories.

So anyway, I've been a huge fan of the Sonic Archie Comics since I was a kid, and something happened recently that changed them in a bad way. To make a very long story short, an ex-writer for the comics {Named Ken Penders} sued Sega and Archie Comics because he wants to use the characters and ideas he created for his own upcoming comic, and because Sega had Expy's of the characters he created in the Sonic Chronicles game. He somehow won {I guess whoever was in charge of the ordeal forgot that when you make characters for a company, it's the company who owns them, not the person who made them. Freaking dumbass}. He would let them use said ideas if they followed his very strict guidelines, which neither Sega or Archie Comics were willing to do {Said guidelines would have caused problems, so I don't blame them on that regard}. So guess what happened in the comics as a result of this?

There was a in-universe retcon that wiped out many characters exclusive to the comic from existence, resulting in many ongoing plotlines being dropped abruptly and many characters getting disposed of in an off-panel Dropped a Bridge on Him manner. Lots of the world building and characters that I liked from the comic are gone now, and it's not just Pender's characters either {Archie got paranoid about using comic-exclusive characters besides those who were created by the current writer, so they're all gone too}. This all happened because Ken got butthurt about various factors. Nearly everything I liked about the comic is gone, and it's probably never going to come back. It just pisses me off so much. Imagine if something like this happened to a series you liked/loved and you'd be upset too.sad Heck, imagine if this happened to FIM somehow.

As for how this involves Ponies, well for the most part it doesn't. But, I do get mad when I see someone getting pissed over the littlest of changes in FIM, because compared to what I just talked about, those changes barely even matter {Yes, even Alicorn Twilight} and don't negatively affect the series.

What? That's dumb. Does Archie Comics have the worst lawyers in the world, or did they screw up back when they originally wrote up his contract?

I haven't read that comic in years. What characters got pulled?

@Crow:See all these characters here?[down] They're defiantly gone, especially the echidnas {Who Ken particularly wanted to use}. And probably several others who weren't created by Ken Penders too {Again, because of Archie's paranoia about getting sued again}.

Yes but not if they haven't even heard of changelings.

@story: hundreds of ponies were at the wedding. news probably spread quickly throughout all of Equestria about a full-scale invasion on a royal city during a royal wedding.

@Moring Star: It's actually hard to tell at this point, and the Archie getting paranoid thing is just a rumor, but it's a rumor that no one has confirmed or denied. Not at all being helped by how we haven't seen any of these characters for a while now.[down]

I can't imagine that an attack on the capitol of Equestria was somehow covered up. There's no way changelings aren't common knowledge by now.

@Marston: Wait, a bunch of those are future and parallel world versions of characters he didn't write. Can you really claim ownership of "Sonic, but from the future?" Man, fuck that guy.

Well, if the appearance looks different enough, I can understand him having a claim to that design...

@Meta: He wasn't the one who gave Scourge that design or his actual name though {The one who did that is current writer Ian Flynn}. When Ken worked on the comics this character was just "Anti Sonic" and looked like a bad-boy version of Sonic. Ian gave him a different design and more personality.

Well, the good news is that FIM probably won't have that problem as pretty much any characters introduced in the comics would belong to Hasbro. The other thing is that the comic arcs have been largely stand-alone anyway, so it wouldn't be as much of an issue.

What about the conspiracy that Spitfire dyes her mane and she's actually a blonde?
