  “Anypony/creature else still awake?”

It’s funny you think I actually sleep.

“Obviously, this wasn’t directed towards Big Mac or his Mod.”

"Hey Adagio, I have some questions about your sister Sonata. If you don't mind answering them." Mac asked trying to hide how nervous and intimidated he was by the leader of the trio. "I was wondering what she likes and if she is single."

Adagio almost instantly tensed, her brows knitting and her shoulders squaring. It was a wonder that she did not let out a snort and paw the ground like a protective father bull.

“Oh? Why, yes, in fact. She is single. Last I checked, that is. What kind of things were you thinking of asking about? What type of flowers she liked? Favorite colors? Scents? That kind of thing?” she asked innocently enough.

I'm guessing "Best Pony" is the GlimGlam? Yeah the comparison is forced at best by those who want to reach to stir shit.

;; Nope. It’s Rarity.

LMao. Yes. It’s GlimGlam. And you’re right. It’s reaching. And at the expense of losing some followers and getting some Ask Box hate here I’m going to illustrate here why I think comparing them isn’t fair to either and reaching a lot. It’s not just that it’s getting really fucking old making Glimmer the whipping boy of the fandom and comparing her to every redeemed pony there is and saying they’re better (Luna, Shimmer and even Trixie), it’s even that it’s gotten so far that people’s arguments aren’t making sense anymore.

Example, not a strawman. I actually heard this said.

“Tempest lost her horn. Glimmer got her cutie mark. Her reasons for becoming a villain aren’t good. Tempest has a better reason.”

Firstly...what?

So people can’t just be shitty people, first off?

Glimmer was just a shitty person. Has that ever crossed anyone’s mind? That there doesn’t have to be this big justifiable angsty backstory to make someone a worldclass dick. Hitler’s paintings got rejected and we see where that went. That’s not particularly a good fucking reason to be history’s #1 asshole. Sometimes people are awful. 

Okay, but that’s a sidetrack. Back to the horn and cutie mark. Yeah, Tempest lost her horn. lol it still works.

I was watching it with my best friend and at the end of the movie he was like “Why does this bitch even want it fixed, she can do everything?”

So, the argument that she’s "better” because of a design choice is silly. And these are the kind of things I’ve been hearing. It’s unfair to Tempest too. Because it draws attention to her appearance and away from her character which has some nuance details that made her way better than the “bad OC” that had been fearing she would be. Frankly, there’s a lot more interesting about Tempest than the fact that she’s a “villain.” The fact that she basically ran the Storm King’s shit is interesting. That she clung to ideals that get shattered within minutes is heart-breaking. And I think that’s something the fandom isn’t really looking at. Instead it’s focusing on the horn-angst that doesn’t even need to be a thing. As we saw at the end she’s handi-capable for lack of a better term. She’s more powerful than most unicorns and her character is defined by determination and discipline. 

Starlight...well, she aint the same. She’s a whole different animal. Unless you’re looking at it from a superficial level of unicorns who got reformed by Twilight, it’s as different as can be. For one, and in case the fandom seems to have missed this, Glimmer has mental issues. She doesn’t reach logical conclusions when upset and follows her insane solutions to their conclusion and can be an extremely dangerous person (pony) when unchecked and, yeah, when she was shitty that made her a villain by default. But because Twilight is fucking saintly, she saw that she needed HELP and reached out. Think about that. Really think about it. Tempest saves herself. She’s as sane as can be. She has a working conscience and realizes in those moments that Twi and her friends are threatened what is right and wrong. Starlight, meanwhile, broken and crying and ready to pretty much destroy time and Equestria over a petty grudge, has to be EXPLAINED TO that it’s wrong and that she is worthy of friendship and love. Starlight is rescued. Tempest rescues. They’re as different as can be.

People who hate Starlight are gonna hate her. That’s fine and dandy. But telling me that the new character is better or an improvement of her I think is unfair to both when the writing and handling of both characters was handled so differently. Everything is different. 

And for the record, I don’t feel satisfied with Temp’s redemption. Just like I didn’t with Star’s in season 5. I don’t feel like it was done “better” or “worse.” It had the typical mlp rushed resolution feel. You can’t undo the shit you made, set some fireworks off and then I’m convinced you’re not the sadist you were before. You need two seasons of development too. (Tempest in the show? Sure! I’d be for that. Tempest and Starlight as buddies? Hell yes! Maybe it’ll stop the comparisons!)

That’s my two cents.
