I hope this happens. I cry every time I think about poor Cozy’s horrible fate.
 
Calm down OP, she’s just a cartoon character. No use crying over her. Plus, she’s evil and now she’s a lawn ornament so there’s really no reason to cry over her.
 
 
@Background Pony #15EC  
At least discord tried to be better. More than anyone could ever say about Cozy. The only thing she’s ever tried was trying to be more evil. I guess the only thing she can try now is try to not get so upset at all the bird poop that’s going to pile up on her head while she’s a statue. Oh and maybe try to be a better pony too. For now though, she’s a rock. Right where she deserves to be.

Discord is a agent of chaos he cant be judged like normal others, he wont always be a threat to EQ eventually he shows promise if i remember he helped save eq at the end hes on the way to eventually become a true good guy over the yrs. that being said he should have NEVER been reformed same as the other characters who wanted basically world domination, this shows reformations was absolutely stupid. This still doesn’t make cozy innocent like this ridiculous image says, and no should u drag another character through the mud who u obviously dont understand to make another character look innocent when this image should only make this a cozy discussion in comments

Thanks I forgot, so with many here having been very splited towards this, the thing is i didn’t said she shouldn’t be punished if anything it’s contrary, maybe in new better prison or tartarus with better upgrades (along with Chrysalis having her fangs and especialy horn being cut( yeah i know it’s cruel, but it feels kinda needed)) or working hard to rebuilded Equestria along with Chrysalis and Tirek and then having go to either former one or two or having something else. This punishment of turning into stone is kinda too far, considering her age and there for makes Cozy unreformed in a bad way, along with most of reformed villains being… well …reformed in a bad way.

So Discord?
 
 
@Background Pony #08D2  
It sure is a shame that Discord was released from stone despite being exactly where he deserved to be after tormenting ponies with his chaos a thousend years ago to the point that he was remembered as having a heart as cold as stone and trying to do the same thing when he escaped. It sure is a shame they still refused to punish him after he continued to do horrible things after he was so graciously given a second chance. It’s a perfect example that some people are luckier then others and having friends in high enough places can get you away with anything.
 
Boy, I sure am sad that he’s free after proving to be a threat to the world multiple times, especially after his latest scheme where he got four villains together, demanded that they work together to ruin Twilight’s coronation to take over Equestria, use one of those villain’s death to intimidate the other two to go along with his plan and use cruel tactics like false-promises, threats and violance to keep them in line. He could have just trusted that his friend has learned confidence over the years or maybe thing that those three would at least deserve the same second chance that he got given that he used to be just as bad as him. Perhaps he could have even looked to Starlight and Fizzlepop’s example as well and realized that people can change if given the proper chance and help and that they can make mistakes like that time when he chose Tirek and Equestria’n domination over Fluttershy’s friendship and teachings.
 
Too bad he chose to be a hypocrit alongside his friends who instead of at least trying to help those three decided that the only way to deal with the trio, who had just been only depowered by the same friendship based rainbow laser attack that turned Discord to stone, was to turn them to stone forever.
 
They really should have been left the malicious, hypocritical and obviously still dangerous spirit of chaos and disharmony in stone or at least put back there as a lawn ornament. His actions proved that he would always be a threat to Equestria. Maybe a few more years or decades in stone could have done him well and helped him realize just how much of a hypocritical monster he really was, even after Celestia and Fluttershy oh so graciously gave him a second chance at life after everything he did.

Boy I sure am glad cozy’s locked in stone and is now trapped for eternity as a pigeon toilet. She sure did deserve that after locking the main cast in pony hell then escaping, teaming up with some end of the world class bad guys and trying to take over by killing the main cast. She’s an incurable psycho who got exactly what was coming to her and is a perfect example that kids can be incureably evil, rotten little psychopathic headcases too.
 
Boy I sure am glad everyone teamed up to lock her away, again a punishment she totally had coming and completely deserved for her homicidal intentions and the threat she and her pals posed to the safety of the world, among other stuff, especially after she had a chance to just go straight after discord freed her. You know, if she would have just done that and lived by all the lessons she learned in friendship school (you know, the one that teaches you friendship lessons, the one she attended until she turned her back on it and tried to take over the first time which landed her in pony hell) she probably could have lived a semi normal and inconspicuous life. Maybe twi would have even forgiven her if she saw cozy being a good pony. Too bad Cozy didn’t do that, went against the teachings she learned at friendship school again and decided to seek power and then tried to kill everyone once she got it.
 
Again, its really for the best this evil and totally homicidal kid is a lawn ornament now. What an evil, irredeemable and totally not innocent character she was. Maybe few years or decades in stone will do her some good like it did for discord.

Fuck off with the “real life” defense. Kids are innocent. Even the ones that light their schools on fire or kill people or whatever. It’s all innocent, because they are children. Are their actions horrible?! Sure, but we as a society due tend to favor reformation in these cases, giving them psychiatric help and therapy. There’s no guarantee they’ll ever be able to be integrated back into society, but only an evil person would say “lock them up.” Fuck no, kids are not responsible for their own actions and need to be nurtured into better people in any way possible.
The very fact that this godawful shitty-ass lesson could be interpreted as applying to real life is why I hate it so much. There is no such thing as an evil child, only a society that failed them. In 100% of these cases, the kids just have a mental condition that needs to be treated. They don’t deserve to die over it.
Please never have kids if you make this argument about real life.
@Background Pony #2D18
And?! She still deserves a second chance. Twilight was too evil to let her have one because she’s a crazy person that loves to watch kids die.
@Ridleylash
This was already pointed out below, but you don’t even watch the show if you don’t know that your two examples both rejected redemption at first and only eventually accepted it because of the love they were shown.
You’d think a fucking four year-old might be deserving of some of that same love in a show for little girls, but apparently the writers wanted to go out making sure the target demographic knew how much they hated them. That’s the only thing that makes sense to me.
@Background Pony #1A80
They did it in the series finale, Discord said “together forever” and they were nowhere to be see in the epilogue. It’s not a temporary time out, the final thing the writers left us with was the insane idea that the Mane Six either tortured a little girl either to death or tortured her for all eternity. This was the show’s ending.
@Background Pony #1A80
No, all I wanted was an ending that actually felt even remotely similar to the actual show. Instead the writers thought it’d be cool to be edgelords and kill a kid because they’re way-too-online and read every single tweet and comment telling them to stop reforming villains.
Your original point about fans bitching about the characters being reformed was almost valid. The problem is that the overly insecure writers decided to listen to those people instead of trying to write the best ending. They also went to the Rian Johnson school of “Unexpected = good”. Sometimes a nice well-executed ending that anyone with a brain could see coming a mile away is legitimately the best approach.
This episode made the Season 6 finale completely non-canon. Starlight believed that The Pony of Shadows could be changed for no real reason whatsoever, just because she trusted in the better angels of his nature. She knew she could fix him. In this one, she cheered on the death of a toddler just because she was a horrible guidance counselor to her and allowed her to turn absolutely evil.
Sheesh Calling Twilight evil is complete strectch. Yes the thing with her and rest of cast is very problematic with the whole hipocrisity and to some degree coruption, but still, beside Twilight was actually sad that they didn’t changed for better and of all characters didn’t cheered after the stone thing.
 
Actually twilight did cheer than again they just tried to tear off spikes wings so theres that

Background Pony #AA11
@Background Pony #1A80
Those are different people. I’ve always maintained that the fans who were against redemption were the worst part of the fanbase. It’s like being a Veggietales fan and begging the writers to stop talking about religion. Like, you’re missing the point if you really fail to see that redemption is a fundamental theme of the show. Stop generalizing us as if we’re all the same people.
@Joshua
LOL! What kind of rule would that be? No, the rules say nothing like that.
 
Its perfectly ok to reform characters like say flim and flam, but u shouldn’t reform characters that are attempting freaking world domination this shows reformations made no sense
Background Pony #AA11
This is dumb its one thing if cozy fans wanna say she should have been given more help but to go this far and say she isn’t at fault for anything is stupid

Hey moron, neither of those two showed any interest in reformation until reformation was offered to them, which no one ever did for Cozy. As a matter of fact, this is true with almost every reformation in the show.

Untrue. In order to be evil, you need to be old enough to make informed decisions. We as a society have decided that, depending on the decision, this age can range from 16-21. Which one should it be before you can be considered evil? I feel pretty good about having it at 18, like most things. A little child absolutely cannot be evil in any way, shape or form.

I didn’t say that. I just said they are incapable of doing anything beyond forgiveness or that makes them undeserving of eternal love. There are kids that need to be institutionalized, like the Slender-Man sacrificers. But every kid and I mean every kid needs an opportunity to change themselves. None should be killed or tortured!!!

“Together Forever. They’ed hate that.”  
-Discord, followed by cheering and no one challenging that statement and nothing to suggest that even in the epilogue that they were ever released. There is also the fact that turning Discord to stone was a direct result of the Elements of Harmony’s attack, which were the only way to defeat him at the time and Storm King’s was the result of his own grenade being deflected at him followed by some unfortunate positioning.
 
Contrast this with the trio, who were attacked by the same attack that stoned Discord which only depowered them while followed by Discord, one of the perpitrators of the whole event and the one to force them to work together in the first place, sadistically begging to turn them to stone.
