Which villain do you sympathize with the most?
Arrowstormen replied to Silver Stream.'s topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
I think most people mistake Starlight Glimmer's background story as a reason for villainy, instead of merely being a reason for her believing in the ideology she believes in. The only thing she does wrong is going a bit too far in trying to prove that she's right, which in the finale had the unintended consequence of leading to the apocalypse. On the topic of sympathy, here are the ones I don't sympathy with: Sombra is a force of nature bad guy, I know the comics have an arc saying otherwise, but I don't care about that when we talk canon. Chrysalis is an invader, sure she does it to "feed" her people, but when has "hey guys, we need your resources" been an excuse for invasions? Discord is a guy who wants to have a good time at the expense of everyone and everything, because that's who he is. Tirek is Tirek. Sunset Shimmer and the Dazzlings were dicks because they wanted power. I guess Trixie wanting people to think she's great and powerful, Gilda simply being how she is because that's the society she was raised in, Luna becoming Nightmare Moon because she was jealous and Starlight Glimmer wanting to create her utopia to prevent herself from ever being hurt again are relatable to varying degrees, depending on who you are. I will probably give the award to Gilda, because I'm a sucker for sociology. How is that like Starlight Glimmer's situation? -

spoiler Is Twilight Sparkle a Defenseless Fool?
Arrowstormen replied to WriteCodes46's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
Celestia and Luna were once cool, we know that, which is why people are puzzled by how they let the Mane Six handle everything since the return of Nightmare Moon. Not a problem I have, but it is a thing. Also, while ruling Equestria for a thousand years solo shows that Celestia is a capable leader, it doesn't mean she's actually especially "powerful". Celestia was beaten by a Chrysalis who'd sucked a bit on Shining's love and couldn't beat the Sombra Army in a way the elements of harmony would be able to in the Sombraverse. -
Twilight has "hogged" two parters since forever. The only two-parter where she isn't the obvious main-mane character is The Cutie Map, which balanced out the fact that we mostly only saw alternate reality versions of the rest of the mane six in The Cutie Re-Mark (and honestly, the story would have suffered if the rest of the mane six original timeline versions where tacked on).

Your bottom Season 5 episodes
Arrowstormen replied to CastletonSnob's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
I think pony is very rarely "bad", and find that whenever people call out certain episodes as bad, they aren't much worse than the rest, and is simply about certain things or gripes those people are personally bothered by. That said, I do think there were some less than average episodes, the main ones being Appleoosa's Most Wanted and Princess Spike. They were just kinda "meh". Originally I thought Bloom and Gloom was meh as well, but I did actually find it pretty funny, and it has a pretty important subject (and it fits pretty well put into the perspective of the entire season). Episodes I thought was a bit shaky, with some bad elements, but saved by some good ones, is Made in Manehattan (boring, but had a great morale) and What About Discord? (pretty strange episode, but Discord is great, and I found the idea, the way it was explored, and the use of real scientific approaches interesting). Is there a "top season 5 episodes" thread too, or is that something somebody still has to make? -
spoiler Would Nightmare Moon be a bad ruler?
Arrowstormen replied to Broken Gear's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
Seemed pretty dystopian and fascism-ish to me. Nightmare Moon is an example of a leader who wants to rule for the wrong reasons and motivations. While Celestia maintained both day and night in her sister's absence, Nightmare Moon wanted to rule using eternal night, because she's jealous, greedy and petty.- 35 replies

I actually feel like there's way too little Twilight outside the two-parters. And honestly, Twilight IS the MAIN main character, it has mostly been about her learning about friendship, becoming the princess of friendship, etc. Sure, she needs her friends and the experiences they've given her, but she's the connecting piece.

Think her cutie mark just means she's good at magic, like Twilight's (and Sunset Shimmer's). - Some episodes showing CMC doing their new thing. - Fleshing out Starlight Glimmer a bit more with some episodes centered around her. - More map episodes. - Discord! :3 - Further progress on the Cadence / Shining Armor baby. - More new locations! - More mythical creatures! - More adventure episodes!- 69 replies
