Dazzlings in Time · 11:54am Jun 13th, 2017
This is something that I've been meaning to ask for a while now and I'd like to get everyone who reads this' input. I've noticed that a majority of writers who tackle the Dazzlings past in the human world seem to believe that they are immortal and have survived for a very lengthy period of time. I've seen some in the medieval period, the renaissance, and even as for back as Greece and Rome in their hay day. I've just wondered why this was the case.
I know we don't have any more information on any of the three outside their only movie appearance (Personally I think they were the best additions to the EQG verse) and the small supplemental material from Fiendship is Magic #3. I know that in that issue it shows them in an ancient, Roman-esq Canterlot. But after Star Swirl sends them through the mirror they wind up in the modern day human world. My personal theory was that Star Swirl had a different mirror than the one Twilight has now and it bridged not just space but time as well.
While I love reading the idea of the Dazzlings getting to experience the world for near two thousand years and seeing things change, I guys my main gripe about it is that it would be far too convenient for them to be in Canterlot of all places in the world at the time the first Equestria Girls movie takes place.
As I said I can see the appeal but it's just a little buggy to me.
