Relax and don't sweat it. Buying comics is not a life-or-death matter.  |

One thing I forgot to mention relating to this... I also find it intriguing how the show itself seemingly made wanting everyone as 100% equal to be an out-and-out heel trait with the Starlight Glimmer arc of Season 5. Glimmer was much more controlling and "evil" in that aspect. She's another character that I take issue with, within the show. First she brainwashes and cutie-mark-washes an an entire village to effectively steal all their magic (escapes unrepentant), then ALTERS a Starswirl spell on her own to manipulate time itself to try and "Undo" Twilight and all of her friends at the one critical moment. After bouncing through altverse after altverse (which I pray one or two of those get revisits later) and life-or-death combat, all she has to say is "I'm sorry" and they not only forgive her but TRUST her? She was the best chance we had at a recurring villain who indeed had great magical talent and intelligence (the Starswirl time spell, standing up to Twilight in battle) I really want this to come back and bite them all on the flank. The lesson? "Trust is EARNED, not that freely given" |

Geezus, that sounds borderline parody. Indeed, the majority of the group seemed to think that they rushed that whole arc in the last episode. Even me... I gave it 8 as well. Lots of interesting alternate universes, but going the reform route with someone who literally tried to erase your history? Like where do we draw the line? Maybe Season 6 will make it work but for now, to paraphrase one of our great intellectuals, "You may have the sympathy of the people, but you don't have my sympathy at all". |

Your appetizing guess would be correct, Lapis.
