It’s not hair, it’s fins on top of her head that looks like hair.

Pretty much gave up on the comics after the story arc with the multiverse story. LOVE that one but almost immediately after that we’ve been getting crap like this. That deer storyline was terrible and this is even worse. They aren’t even TRYING to go along with the stuff said in the show now and are instead focusing in on “messages” and not even being subtle about then either. 9_9

Half of that comic is a giant plot hole because half of it isn’t out yet.

@Background Pony #E90C  
OP here. I was quoting the Horse News article.

@Background Pony #7405  
The comics in general seem to be riddled with gigantic plot holes. Especially the arc with the deer.

OP’s description: What Twilight said was, “It’s hard to believe, but ponies know next to nothing about dragons. Apparently they’re too rare and too scary to try to talk to or study!” She also mentioned that her books couldn’t help Spike, which sounds more like she did have reference material on dragons but it was too vague and/or superficial to be useful for his questions. (Along the lines of “dragons migrate along such-and-such route and hibernate for 100 years after blah blah blah”.)

@Itsthinking  
>ignored  
implying she actually remembered/thinked about those facts.
 
 
It’s more like a plothole than actual “thickhead pushing her agenda”.

@Itsthinking  
then she’s really a SJW, ignoring everything that might cause conflict with her own political agenda

@Background Pony #4068  
It doesn’t matter. Hasbro own everything what DHX do. If they share everything with IDW like complete episodes and even call people like Jayson Thiessen to help with development and designs of the things in comics then they are pretty much big deal and far from “lel not canon”

@Background Pony #4068  
He had met those teenager jerks, but he probably did just make up that code to make sure he stayed a noble dragon.

@Background Pony #4068  
As for Twilight taking it seriously, Spike could have very well enforced such code earlier.

@Background Pony #FA55  
I saw that Dragon Code thing being something that Spike made up himself, seeing how he hadnt really met any other dragons at that point in his life.
 
@Anon-a-Miss  
I think the problem people have with it is that the comic people are basically saying that they are indeed talking with show staff about the things in the comics, when that isnt actually the case.

@Background Pony #FA55  
I think it was implied that the Dragon Code was just something Spike made up…

Jesus Christ, this is irrelevant. The show rewrite these things all the time. At one point the dragons are too dangerous to study yet in another episode Twilight is aware of the “Dragon Code”. Comics don’t follow logic because show itself doesn’t and Hasbro especially gives no shit

“too dangerous to study”
 
honestly, I found that really stupid since dragons aren’t wild animals in this world.
 
but then again they wanted to do a “Boys so stupid” episode

@Anon-a-Miss  
I thought they were going to contradict the show ‘cause they’re running concurrently with it & their venues for communication aren’t the best either so they can’t really be sure what the other is going to end up doing.

Do people really have nothing better to do than bothering the staff on twitter? By now everyone should’ve accepted that the comic is going to contradict the show sometimes because they are doing their own thing. Like it or hate it but that’s how it is.

@PonyPon  
Yeah? Spike is everything she says a dragon should be but she ignores it because it doesn’t fit her narrative. A dragon who is beloved by ponies punches holes in it.
 
@441TheSecond  
She didn’t so much ignore it as handwave it, the only thing we got in the comic was from the police chief who said that these dragons weren’t nomads.

@Itsthinking  
The species relations, you mean?

@Itsthinking  
She also ignored that every Dragon that Spike encountered up on that point tried to kill him.
 
And that one threatened to blot out Equestria with the smoke from his slumber.

@441TheSecond  
I don’t know, but there’s at least some precedent.  

 
(Ignore the caption…)

This is a fucking mess.
 
@441TheSecond  
@441TheSecond  
I’d like to point out that for as much as Mina complains about lack of good depictions of dragons, she has an incredibly small interest in who Spike is or what he does. She just yells at him.
 
For God’s sakes, she knows about the Crystal Empire and King Sombra. Maybe if she stopped talking for two seconds Spike would be able to mention that the Crystal Empire was saved BY A DRAGON. Specifically, THE ONE YOU ARE TALKING TO ABOUT HOW PONIES DON’T LIKE DRAGONS. You know, the one worshipped in the place he saved as a hero and given an honorific title?
 
She ignored the shit that didn’t fit into her ideas of what ponies and dragons should be like.

@441TheSecond  
Maybe Agnes Garbowska gave her (pink) hair to make her seem more like a stereotypical “social justice” person.

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised to see background cameos from Cassie or Ord in the comics.

Also, I just noticed, how come she has hair?
