spoiler Was befriending Thorax a wise idea?

With princess cadance and twilight granting thorax access to the crystal empire do you think this would of been a terrible idea that makes protecting flurry heart more harder. 

 

Changelings look just like each other, there is no way of telling them apart. Thorax is no different, only that his personality is unique to them. It would just be like taking candy from a baby. All queen chrysalis (or whatever the way you spell it) has to do it simply send a changeling over to the crystal empire, fool the guards into thinking the changeling is thorax, convince twilight and cadance he was thorax, Cadance hands baby, grab flurry heart and fly out the window.

 

As soon as chrysalis see's the imposter thorax making a b-line for the hive through the sky she could then order a the changeling army to guard the imposter from attack by sending a swarm of changeling to slow the progress of an angry twilight sparkle trying to rescue flurry heart. 

 

It's important to keep flurry heart away from ground, if this happens twilight could get an upper hand. The mane 6 would be able to attack and who knows what could happen, the elements of harmony could be possibly used if they were grounded. Keeping in the sky would limit reinforcements in this situation only allowing pegasus like rainbow dash and fluttershy to help, also rendering the elements of harmony unusable.

 

The sheer size alone of the changelings could keep anypony away from flurry heart, looking at the invasion of canterlot they actually did stop the mane 6 to some degree.

 

What do you think of befriending thorax, a friendly welcome or a really stupid move that can put flurry heart at risk?

Well given how we were shown that Thorax isn't an evil monster, than I think it was a wise idea.

Plus further down the road it could lead to more healthy and friendly relations between Equestria and the Changeling Empire, which would be greatly beneficial to both of the parties involved.

Except any Changeling trying to abduct Flurry would immediately be overcome by her sheer love power (or whatever) just like Thorax was.

this :P

 

thorax wasn't going crazy when he saw flurry heart for the second time.. others probably would react the same way thorax did at first... though... sure they look the same.. but I doubt they all have the same voices. :wat:

Yes, it was a good thing. Thorax shows that Changelings aren't inherently evil, so he could help build relations with the Changeling to the point they have no need to fear one another. 

 

Plus, even though Cadance let Thorax be near Flurry Heart, they were still in a room full of guards in case he tried anything. They may trust him, but I doubt Cadance or Shining would let their guard down enough that him, any other Changeling or anyone they wouldn't trust their lives with could just make off with Flurry Heart.

I really don't see why people are making a big deal of Thorax being good. Yeah Friendship ..pfff no they are changlings enemies forever no exeptions.   The comics have shown that changlings are mindless drones and are indiviuals so one wanting to be nice isn't that far fetched.

I consider the decision to befriend Thorax beneficial since it would allow Cadance and Shining Armor to learn more about them compared to what they experienced with their wedding, and by learning more about them, it would allow Cadance and Shining Armor to be better prepared in the future for when Chrysalis does lay siege to the Crystal Empire to kidnap Flurry Heart since they could know certain weaknesses that they could exploit thanks to Thorax.

 

Also, like with Tynar from W.I.T.C.H. when the Guardians helped him out, if Thorax can convince some of the Changelings to defect and take the side of the Mane Six and the Royal Family, that could really help them out in the long run since more Changeling allies mean more vital intelligence to help against Chrysalis.

 

Plus, Cadance and Shining Armor did not fully accept Thorax until Twilight stood up for him and accepted Thorax herself. During Twilight's speech, Cadance and Shining Armor still showed expressions of distrust, anger, hostility, and contempt because of their own past with their wedding, but once they saw their sister accept Thorax, who were they to go against a family member and the Princess of Friendship? Celestia and Luna would not take kindly to that showing of the opposite of friendship with being prejudice and not giving Thorax a chance. Also, Twilight would have probably read the Riot Act to her sister-in-law and big brother to get them to see sense anyway.

 

So befriending Thorax was a wise decision, and hopefully, it will come in handy when Chrysalis decides to make her move.

I'm sure they would have precautions for this kind of thing. I was thinking they would probably mark Thorax or tie something around his hoof or maybe even tell him a secret password or something. All the changelings look the same, so you would think that the crystal empire would be smart enough to realise that befriending Thorax would have created a loophole.

Making allies is always a wise idea. Another thing, how much we can trust such allies. I do not think that Thorax is a spy or something like that. But theoretically authors did not except a chance that he somehow will help Chrysalis and other cahangelings to take the Crystal Empire and get Flurry Heart that apparently is a concentrate of love and other emotions. Oh, with following repentance and getting forgiveness, of course. It can happen for various reasons, for example, because Chrysalis will convince him in idea that he can help whole of his native swarm by this way or something else. It would be cool. But everything can go by opposite way, who knows.

This could be argued either way. On the one hand, even a Changeling as good as Thorax cannot control his instincts to feed on high amounts of love, as evidenced by the way he reacted to the baby. Then there's also the fact that the other Changelings can impersonate Thorax with little effort.

 

On the other hand, Thorax may be the best weapon Equestria has against the Changelings. He could give them insight into the Changeling culture that the ponies did not previously have and could help them figure out how exactly to defeat Chrysalis once and for all.

 

It's a high-risk endeavor either way, but given the nature of this show, you know things will work out in the end.

"Defeat Chrysalis once and for all." He's basically killing his mom lol this is not the way to show that hes different from other changelings Edited by LyricaDreamy
