Also, her love-sucking was definitely a bit disturbing, especially since we never saw her do it that way before, at least to my knowledge.
Actually, they showed her doing it in “To Where and Back Again”.
So at least once before now.

- Cozy is utterly powerless, so much so that I almost wonder what use Grogar even has for her. And I’m under the belief that Cozy might not have ever been snatched up by Grogar if she weren’t in Tartarus, where she didn’t belong in the first place. Because as I’ve constantly said, she posed no threat to Equestria on her own, and she’s a fucking child who deserved something just a little bit more lenient than the equivalent of pony hell with zero due process.
… Seriously? I have to be honest, Cozy is the one that scares me most out of the three. And for good reason too. I mean, yes, Chrysalis is powerful, and her love feeding is all kinds of unnerving, and those transformative abilities of hers are a considerable advantage, both for fighting and getting the drop on the unwary. But, she’s also got great and powerful Trixie levels of self absorbed haughtiness, and has lost time and again from being so wrapped up in her own perceived greatness and brilliant planning that she misses crucial flaws or weaknesses that could stop her. As for Tirek, he certainly demonstrated in this episode that he has some brains to go with the brawn, but his hunger for power makes him predictable and easy to track. Not to mention that, until he reaches a certain point of power consumption, he doesn’t seem to have the strength to make it on his own. And I doubt very much Discord is going to be around to help a second time, were he to try it.
But Cozy Glow? She ran a long con on the Princess of Friendship, deceiving her, all her friends, the CMC, the student six, and countless others without ever revealing her true purpose. Time and again she demonstrated manipulation skills, twisting words and meanings to suit her goals and turn others against each other without them realizing it had happened. And the few times those around her did start to notice that there was something altogether off about her? She used her cloying false sweetness and apparent innocence to “golly” her way out of trouble. And all to achieve her ultimate goal of (very nearly) draining all the magic in Equestria, something even one of her fellow villains, Tirek, thought was excessive.
No, Cozy scares me. She knows the friendship lessons, she knows personal details about the ponies the villains are going up against, and underneath that façade of sugary sweetness is a monster who wouldn’t hesitate for a second to exploit that patiently acquired knowledge to do terrible, terrible things.
So I’m not surprised in the slightest Grogar recruited her. He’d be a fool to throw away an inside look at the life of Twilight Sparkle, and the kind of resourcefulness that almost beat her.
