I like the idea of a menhir group saving the day for a change.
however, I think it was a waste not to have put sunburst and spike in this group, it would have made narrative sense, sunburst, spike and starlight saved the day at the beginning of the season sunburst spike and starlight saved the day at the end of the season, it would make sense for spike and thorax if uniting against the changelings and the friendship he made with discord, it would have that symbolism of starlight with her old friend saving her new friends and it would complete the group of the strange six

There should always be a balance. There is nothing wrong with discipline unless you overdo it. There’s also nothing wrong with praise and encouragement unless you overdo it.

U have to really have been betrayed by someone to know this answer. Someone just stealing your money can make u wanna never talk to them again, now think about someone mentally toturing u for years. In fiction it’s easier for both the characters in story and real life to forgive it because it’s fiction there is a suspension of disbelief.
Earning back someone’s trust is hard also. Also not saying starlight can’t be forgiven especially in a kids show but she should have to work for it more from her village/town that she terrorized for so long.

Oh u mean people who still think she was too easily forgiven till this day? I mean people can still like a character and also think that, I think that about discord in matter of Principals. I mean even though these characters forgive easier than people in real life, it’s still not quite that easy to that extent in any other instance in regards to how it is with starlight

What’s so weird about people thinking it makes no sense for her to be easily forgiven, by a village she mentally and emotionally tortured, locked into a room until they become hollow shells?

Eh, I feel like this was the time to give Glimmer the biggest spotlight. The end of her season-long arc and all. Plus, gotta make up for all the episodes she wasn’t present for or was reduced to a cameo. Plus Trixie, Discord, and Thorax still had moments to shine.
The village…I wish we didn’t see these guys in the season 5 ending montage. That way the invitation would leave Starlight weirded out, and the easy forgiveness would be a surprise and feel uneasy in itself. Essentially sending Starlight into a spiral of “what’s going on, why are they so nice, I do not deserve this.”

Yeah same about the finales comment and what u said about the changelings design. I guess it would have been usual for chrysalis to have learned to be a acting couch throughout the years. So she could have made her army stronger.

I did like starlight and trixie’s growing dynamic but didn’t care for Starlight being given the biggest spotlight or the village’s easy forgiveness

I wish this show really had more season finales like this along the way. It doesn’t always have to be the Mane 6 saving the day from a disaster.
The changelings being bad actors is also hilarious to me. It’s like nature itself said “you can shapeshift into almost anything…but I ain’t paying for your acting lessons.” With the exception of the changeling playing Twilight, I thought that guy did pretty good, especially by adressing the strange way the others were acting.
I also kinda think it’s funny Chrysalis’ plan involves kidnapping Flurry Heart. Like I know she’s an alicorn and a magical powerhouse, but it’s not like she’s gonna lead a squad of heroes to sabotage the plan.
The changedlings I do like, but I wish they didn’t try to make them more ponylike - some have horns, some don’t. Some can’t fly, some can. I prefered when they all had little, curved horns and insect wings.

I don’t think I know of a fanfic where it features rewrites of episodes post season 5 that involve her to be non-existent. Since anything in those episodes were her idea or that Discord would still be a jerk even if it wasn’t Starlight he’s annoying.

I liked “To Where and Back Again”. With that being said, I don’t like Starlight Glimmer and seeing her being babied and victimized by the writers is kind of annoying and pushes a bad message. Starlight abused ponies for years (?) just because a (bad) childhood friend of hers moved away. Don’t get me wrong, I understand the pain of both abandonment issues and betrayal–but experiencing abuse yourself doesn’t give you the right to abuse others. I–for example–got bullied a lot growing up but I don’t sympathize with Starlight because she’s a narcissistic abuser. So seeing her acting all traumatized due to being put in charge is just laughable–imagine the trauma(s) of Our Town-ers whose lives were endangered by Starlight. They were manipulated for years. And were sent to a “brainwashing room” if they did something wrong. Starlight is a typical narcissist–she abuses someone, changes her mind, offers the abused a poorly worded out apology, and expects to be forgiven all of a sudden. Plus the amount of self-victimization. Imagine being a former dictator and wondering why nopony in Ponyville wants to be your friend.
