man dude man

Applejack is probably the most noble and admirable character, and I think she is the best to idolize among the mane six.... From all of my experiences and interests in trying to relate to I always wind up finding I am most like Rainbow Dash however... Starlight Glimmer and Trixie are my favorites, they have a lot of added negative attention from people in the fandom who don't actually cherish the theme of the show and believe that only ponies that have had a heart of gold their entire lives can positively develop.. They are both intelligible characters with their own positive character quirks who have character specific talents and have come a very long way... liking Starlight simply on the merit of her excess power is redundant, she is a great character who genuinely needed to be enlightened and to have meaningful friendships to inspire some sort of independent resolve with a positive purpose. Nobody was pulling legs trying to get three former villains to sacrifice their time and well being to rescue ponies they once rivaled... especially if you consider the power Discord, and Starlight had outside of that tower... (although disharmony could have negatively impacted them) I just think giving characters identities some people wont like, is the only way you will have a show that everyone can... welcome to any universe and the real world at that, where people are all different, and another reason to like the moral of the season 5 opener... reminds of that episode of PPG "See me, feel me, gnomey" without someone to conflict with your interests, there is no purpose... giving characters personalities that are not the same is essentially half of what "social life" is about is it not... NOTE: that is said with social implications... not necessarily political implications. the reason a social society is feared is because you dont want social rule in social relations, only in economics... you dont want a world where you can be executed or even jailed for saying something, that someone else just isnt fond of....

No season of MLP is complete without Discord now.... when people talk about reform characters being a redundant theme, I separate Discord from that fray, he is his own element...

This is what needs to happen, like a super alliance of villains, but in the fic i was semi putting together in my head, Starlight pretends to befriend them talking about how she didnt really change and what not, but earlier had collaborated with Zecora as Twilight had before confronting Trixie in the Magic Duel and she uses their thirst for hunger and their self interest to turn them against each other, and they destroy each other and when they separate like the villain collaboration in the original ppg they are vulnerable

But remember they put a lot of pressure on her to take charge, and lead, so you have to keep that in mind as well, she was nervous because she was involuntarily made a leader, and still she found her way.

I loved her prior to the episode, so i did not have the same taste, and I dont know... Thorax played a big part in making this happen, and even Trixie made herself a sacrificial lamb to make the end resolution possible... keep in mind the elements of harmony wouldnt work in a fortress that disarms magic...

Where did she screw up in the S6 Finale? in regards to doing so by force?

I dont completely agree with that, but... to each their own... to each their own...having characters with imperfections is what is giving us plots, people just seem to forget this

Here is the issue... Starlight, sucks at friendship... its obvious, shes had one genuine friend her entire life and lost them... when shes doing these things, you have to imagine, she thinks she is coming up with a positive resolution, because she is used to solving her problems with magic... you see this even when it comes to setting tables... its part of her "identity" persay, it doesnt make it right, but she thinks, "oh well ill calm twilights anxiety down" my problem with this is, Starlight? you have the worst anxiety of anyone, many times you should have used this on yourself lol

SPOILER ALERT. haha well damn... yeah her thinking magic is the resolution to all problems is her biggest character flaw.

OHHHH i thought you were talking about Zecora xD

in what context are you referring to?

very good reference, that honestly, is the episode that got me into MLP...
