So, it's not going to be coming out any time soon, but I wanted to ask you guys your opinion for something for the next chapter of Epicness. Now that we actually have a canon version of them, should I make the hippogriffs that I intend to show up look like they do in the movie, or do what I was going to do which was basically just griffins with pony hind ends.
Personally, I'm looking forwards to doing the former, but what about you guys?
I suggest a mix of both most hippogriffs became sea dwellers but some still live on the land.
Silver Quill. Nuff said.
Do a little of both, there are a Hippogrifs and the Hippocampi. Both are technically the same, one just dwells in the water while the other is on land/in the air. Both can meet with each other, with the help of the pearl of course.
Every time an author asks his audience what they'd prefer, I cringe a little. Do whatever you like, guy, just make sure that if you do go with the movie version that you give a proper description for those of us who can't be bothered to go see mlp movies.
for me, hippogriffs will always be half-bird, half-pony
I'd say mix them up. Take the best of what you enjoy of both and make something awesome out of those ingredients.
Go with both. I'd argue that hippogriffs as represented by Silver Quill are first-generation hippogriffs (one parent a pony, one parent a griffin), while the canon hippogriffs are the result of several generations of hippogriffs having hippogriff babies.

I appreciate that, but when I ask the audience what they want it’s usually because I don’t know what I want.

If you don't feel strongly one way or another about it, then it's hardly important to you, is it? Why describe them at all, then? Or have them in the story in the first place? They're irrelevant, after all.
If the makers of the show wanted their movie lore to matter, they wouldn't have used it in movies. Because do you remember that one episode where Twilight bemoaned the fact she couldn't hang out with Sunset Shimmer for a bit? Or that one time that anybody commented on Sombra's reformation? No? Then that should tell you how integral the makers consider the comics and movies to be. They're extra material, and thus they're immaterial.
If you want to keep the story consistent with the movies (which seems a bit... impossible,) then go ahead and do what you gotta do. If not, then why bother with the movie-hippogriffs in the first place?
personally i'm just waiting for ponies watch red vs blue on devianart to update
The more griffin parts, the better.
Sliver Quill style i vote
