Talk:My Little Pony: The Movie Prequel/@comment-30358957-20170710234652/@comment-182470-20170711195335

@ImperfectXIII The key term of that definition is "existing work". A prequel isn't simply the opposite of a sequel; it doesn't just show what happens before another work, but it also needs to be released after that work. For example, "Rogue One" (2016) is a prequel to "A New Hope" (1977), but "A New Hope" is NOT a prequel to "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980). Thus, the use of the word "prequel" in the title is informal, because the movie hasn't been released or even finished since the comic began publication.
