What was her endgame again?
>>27480962
To usurp the princesses and provide equality to all of Equestria.
>>27480962
First, the village. Then, EQUESTRIA!
>>27480962
to make bedroom eyes at everyone
>>27480975
>I'm miserable, therefore everyone must be miserable
>Pre-reform
>Wants equality with no one stronger than another
>Post-reform
>Is a mary sue with magic powerful enough to rival Twilight's
>>27480962
>CM of a princess
>Put equal CM instead
>A princess with a equal mark will attract more ponies to the town
>they will attract Celestia and Luna
>all your army is equal and can't do shit
>to the tartarus for the eternity
Just a dumb plan like shimmer attacking equestria with teenager that will don't know how to walk in 4 legs
>>27480975
Equalizing the princesses so she can eventually equalize the pony kind
>>27480994
>nyxposter
Your argument goes directly into the trash
>>27481023
I thought it takes one to know one, I guess Nyx isn't a mary sue after all.
>>27481023
>Equalizing the princesses so she can eventually equalize the pony kind
But what would that accomplish? And in a world where she would actually have managed that what would she do afterwards? Cloud-gazing?
>>27481051
>what's the point in taking over the world and controlling everything?
>>27481014
Starlight would equalize the princess easily, after all she beat twilight
>>27481073
In Tirek's case it works, but world domination doesn't fit into the context of Starlight's backstory.
>rape
>>27481129
Because she certainly wasn't keen on enforcing any kind of rule in her village personally, and certainly didn't seem interested in doing the same elsewhere.
>>27481023
If Celestia and Luna got equalized who would raise then sun and the moon?
>>27481266
>starlight
>thinking things through
>not just a shitty hypocrite villain
>>27481129
How?
She wanted to get rid of CM so no other pony could suffer what she suffered
Anyway, I must say that the writers did a shitty job writing her backstory
>>27481266
I dont think all ponies know that
You just need a lot of magic to move the sun and the moon, thats why Twilight moved it on s4 finale
>>27481381
>Tirek
>Steal all magic
>Rule the world as an immortal godlike being
>Starlight
>Remove all cutiemarks
>Live in a world filled with miserable ponies
Again, what's her engame? She would've achieved nothing of worth.
>>27480962
Rule over Equestria.
>>27480990
Socialism and Communism in a nutshell senpai
>>27481430
It's the socialist/leftist mentality of making everyone equal.
It's a very real endgame, just not one that makes any logical sense if carried to its natural conclusion.
>>27480962
To kill Applejack.
>>27481722
>oh no my friend was speshul so he went away no i hav no friend
>now i must take over equestria
I really like the new season, but this is absolutely retarded.
>implying starlight HAD an endgame
Pretty much, she had no endgame. that's like asking what the dude running a cult out of an old movie theater's endgame is.
She just saw twilgiht come up, figured if she brainwashed a princess it would be a PR boost for her cult to get new converts, just for the sake of converts, and decided to kidnap her: Please ignore how fucktarded her plan would have been in the long run since all 3 princesses would have been pretty suspicious of the mane six randomly being brainwashed after visiting the town, but whatever
After that, Haber decided she needed to be God mode powerful because "REASONS" and just was trying to fuck shit up to fuck shit up.
She wanted to be the only one with a cutie mark, or non-trivial magic to rule Equestria.
It's not complex, she just had a dumb plan for getting there.
>>27482435
But that's really fucking dumb. All villains up until Starlight were immortal super beings set out reshape Equestria. Starlight is just a regular ass pony. Her managing to conquer Equestria in her lifetime is incredibly unlikely and even if she did, she could do nothing at the end of it since her acting as a Pharaoh would break her own idealism.
Politics doesn't fucking work in children's hugbox fantasy world.
>>27482542
There's a reason why people stated that the Premier was was more "Low key" than previous two parters when it aired.
People accepted it anyways because it was enjoyable, even if it was a step back.
Just starlight should never have been shilled as the villain of another two parter, since she's more or less just a low tier arch nemeisis tier character, like Trixie with the alicorn amulet or lightning dust.
>>27482542
Yeah, it's fucking dumb, and that was her plan.
She's a tumblrina pony; were you expecting brilliance?
>>27482570
Will Season 6 have a villian? So far Equestria is pretty much at world peace.
>>27482596
Signs point tochangelings.
>>27482596
Current theory is that Chrysalis will return due to the changeling silloute seen at the end of the crystalling in the background flying towards the crystal empire
>>27482609
>Explore Equestria
>rehashed locations
>rehashed villain
Go figure.
>>27482644
Explore equestria isn't even really the theme of this season, They haven't explored JACK SHIT.
Like, what's the purpose of making these toylines if you don't use the theme? there was no cutie mark magic power up or anything for last season either. At least Rainbow power, as bad as it was, was the purpose of its season.
>>27482675
Haber's killed the show though
>Let's focus on slice of life, guys! The brownies will luv it LOL
Thiessen had shit under control with s1 & s4
>>27482727
his ability to write two parters and movies is more suspect, given how he Randomly decided to make Starlight godmode powerful compared to Larson not having her be that strong.
>>27482727
>Haber's killed the show though
>Let's focus on slice of life, guys!
>Thiessen had shit under control with s1 & s4
That's literally what they've been focusing on since S1.
If you want more lore then just say you want more lore. But don't pretend that at any point that lore was what the show focused on outside the 2-parters.
>>27482824
s1 & s4 are the most 'adventure' focused seasons of the series. 5 & 6 are complete shit in comparison.
>>27482898
5 had do princesses dream of magical sheep.
And the map has the most potential to let the mane six get randomly summoned off to fight monsters yet, since it can just randomly tell them about shit happening.
Of course, haber seems to have a hatred of that thing, since once he took over it got booted out
>>27481014
it's not like Celestia would wage war on a population that WANTS to be shit at everything.
>>27482609
got a screencap?
>>27482898
What counts as an adventure episode? Because S5 had them going to a bunch of places because of the map like Griffinstone, plus Luna's dream adventure episode.
S6 isn't even halfway over and while it may have only one adventure episode so far, it's one of the best the series has ever had.
>>27482955
Those are all just slice of life episodes where they took a small trip to get there.
Adventure episodes have them having to fight or elude villains/evil to solve the problem, like how Gauntlet of fire was about beating garble to the scepter, or about how the daring do episode was about stopping the Weird ass hand monkey thing,
>>27482935
Right before the credits at the end of Part 2.
>>27482976
I think Griffonstone should still count. They went to an exotic locale and while the monster was long dead, they still had to risk their safety to undo his machinations.
>>27482955
The only adventure episodes in S5 was the series finale the rest is just slice of life in rehashed locations
>>27480962
He wanted the best for his peopleby the wrong way
>>27481381
Twilight had absorbed Celestia and Luna's power when she raised the sun.
>>27482998
I'm going to laugh if that turns out to just be an animator joke, like how everyone Thought the alicorn errors showing up in S4 was an indication that the box contained the other 5's Alicornality inside it.
>>27484055
Nah, all those animation mistakes were intentional. They were changelings who glitched their transformations. Chrysalis is going all out this time with the infiltration.
>>27481722
>Socialism = Communism
And I guess Capitalism means Corporatism, right?
>>27484332
Yes because under relativism everything is equal. Even 'isms.
Checkmate autism.
It still boggles my mind that people don't like S5. That shit was on point. Especially the finale...I've watched it over and over again.
I welcome my new reformed evil overlord.
>>27484417
It definitely has the highest concentration of high points in the series. Especially with the feelsy moments.
We got Tank's "death" scene.
Luna's guilt.
Mac's feelings of inadequacy.
Monndancer's abandonment issues.
CMC finally getting their marks.
Pretty heavy stuff for this show. It also had plenty of humor too. Most episodes ranged from good to excellent with only a few under-performing.
Princess Spike was the only outright bad episode.
People meme Slice of Life is bad for some reason but they can all eat a bag of dicks.
Made in Manehatten was kind of boring—the second half at least after they got to the park.
What About Discord was subpar for a Discord episode bad not terrible in any way; you just have higher expectations with Discord episodes. Plus same writer as PS so that amplified a lot of autistic rage.
And while Starlight's origin was very under-developed, the rest of the finale fared strongly.
S5 has been my favorite so far.
t. someone who's been on the ride since S1
>>27481266
All the unicorns would lift/set them together like they did before Celestia and Luna.
>>27484417
>I welcome my new reformed evil overlord.
As the thread confirms though; she was never 'evil', just a fucking moron.
>>27484645
Psychopathic, maybe? Manipulative? Her FIRST though when she has to find a friend for Twi's lesson is to mind control someone to be her friend.
>>27484483
>We got Tank's "death" scene.
Crap
>Luna's guilt.
>Muh past
Seen already
>Mac's feelings of inadequacy.
Pandering to trannies, one of the lowest points of the season
>Monndancer's abandonment issues.
>muh friend abandoned me
>I gotta live alone for the rest of my life !!!
Starlight 0.5 (becaude she is worse)
>CMC finally getting their marks.
That the only good point bevause at least we wont have to see them again
Oh wait...
>>27486143
I don't think you understand jokes anon.
>>27486223
Twilight didn't think she was joking, either.
And still, that wouldn't even come to most pony's minds.
>>27486166
Wow, what incredibly shit taste you have. And you're legitimately retarded if you thought the Macintosh episode was about trannies.
>>27480994
Every time she removed a cutie mark, she gained residual talent from it. Like Tirek, sorta.
I wonder if her village was spared the magic-suck of Tirek's rampage? If she alone was affected?
Starlight was a wannabe Tirek.
>>27486283
she knew she was joking but thought it was in bad taste
>>27486404
There's nothing indicating that Starlight was gaining any sort of power from removing cutie marks.
>>27490508
what the hell are you doing?
>>27488616
I like to imagine that Twilight never gets sarcasm, kinda like me.
>>27490889
Autism huh?
