Unpopular opinion time

@EotD
 
Is that… bad?

@Chrys  
You talkin’ about me rite?
 
I don’t think she’s there yet. Popularity power and/or creative appeal means that at least she gets focus. I suppose for you at this point you’d rather she be put on the proverbial bus and be gone from the show to prevent further damage to her character.

Was that really necessary, dude?

@gingerninja666  
It tends to ignore Occam’s razor for one thing and it seems to be after the fact.

@Jarkes  
Why are you paying attention to it? I edited for a reason.

@EotD
 
I honestly think it’s more fun though. Like, if all I said was “This was an episode in which Chrysalis showed up to cause conflict and some jokes happened” there’d be nothing to talk about. So I look at Chrysalis’ direction. What she says, how she says it. Stuff like that. I mean, should I not care about that stuff?

@gingerninja666  
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar

@EotD
 
And sometimes it isn’t.

Like, I’m not saying that they have some big epic plot in mind for Chrysalis, I just think that there were several points where the episode highlighted that Chrys was kinda losing it.

And then Everybody is Jesus in Purgatory

@EotD
 
Well, I generally believe in death of the author.

@gingerninja666  
I’m thinking there’s a double meaning there.

@gingerninja666  
I just love how Mean Twilight actually called her out for not just killing the Mane Six when she had the chance. God I hope she gets a Sideshow Bob moment and actually tries it later :D  
 

@Badumsquish
 
While I definitely agree with her sentiment, I also understand why Chrysalis would be wary of doing that. Given how these were the ponies who defeated her twice when she had all the backup in the world on her side.

@Badumsquish  
Late response but I get you. I get why people were turned off by her Freudian excuse (it did for me actually and it still does to some extent), her personality has changed since her reformation but I don’t think you want to hear all so I’ll just say I disagree with you there, and while I also found her reformation to be rushed, what the writers did to her after made me forgive it.

@Badumsquish
 
Love Sideshow Bob. He’s always been a favorite Simpsons’s character of mine.

@Mikey  
I think he’s the same BP who shitposted on the Season 9 prediction thread and told the mods to die.

@ILoveMyoozik  
Please don’t even comment on or react to the attention horse. Report and move on.

@cheezedoodle  
Sorry

@gingerninja666  
Still, both times her plan of “walk in at night and bonk whoever she wants to replace over the head because Equestria has zero security” was solid. I don’t think Twilight and friends even lock their doors, like remember this?. Chrysalis just got a bit unlucky both times. I kind of get the feeling they can’t let her be too competent, or else she’d win no problem. XD
 
@ILoveMyoozik  
Also they permanently replaced a cool character with a lame one in the lamest way possible. It’d be like if they revealed Celestia was just a hologram run by Mayor Mare all this time or something :P

@Badumsquish  
Don’t know what you mean by that but I’m fine with what we have.

@Badumsquish
 
Let’s face it, when have the royal guards ever been good at their jobs anyway? These are the same people who abandoned their posts to eat a cake while someone crept into a Wonderbolt’s bedroom in Rarity Investigates.

@Spinny  
That level of cheap writing always has irked me a lot.  
At least make the guards try to do something and get defeated to show them doing their job and how the threat is more of what they can handle.

@Spinny  
I always saw the Royal Guards as more ceremonial guards than anything involving policing.
