About Chrysalis and Cadence and Shining Armor

[heavens-champion 1,905]

So... how come Chrysalis didn't want revenge on Cadance and Shining Armor for foiling her first invasion plan? In To Where And Back Again, she just treats them like normal hostages instead of her sworn enemies. I can understand her wanting revenge on Starlight, but why not Cadance and Shining Armor?

I would say that, in the case of canterlot wedding, She lost a battle, but in there and back again, she lost everything.

In chess you don't get mad at the pawns, you get mad at the opposing player. She'd love to see them destroyed I'm sure, but they're not her main priority.

I just figured that she'd have plenty of reasons to get rid of them.

I think that the writers have realized that the cartoon is best in character interaction. The best thing of the episode was the journey, and no the conclusion. It was just an excuse to put Starlight Glimmer, Thorax, Discord and Trixie in a group.

Honestly, changelings don't make much sense to me since the first time they appeared and Chrysalis never struck me as a particularly... 'Character' character.

Why?  She beat them then and the only person who foiled her plan is Twilight Sparkle

Well-said; I agree. The main thing she still has after it all is some of her own magic power, but it's just not the same. The loss of power over her hive, which was the thing that made her especially threatening the first time, is a big deal for Chrysallis.
