I see everyone talk about headcanons n how things could be different n all types of stuff about mlp characters so I'm gonna get involved. Starlight's redemption was trash asf. I just don't understand at all how their feelings just switch up. I don't get how fast these characters can go good n forgive each other within an instant. I think Starlight's redemption would've been better if she accepted Twilight with frustration instead of sadness. She was angry, pissed off! She also hated Twilight n wanted to overpower her.. she would've never cried within Twilight's presence. Her anger would've caused more anger n frustration than sadness I feel. She saw what was gonna happen to the world, she HAD to accept unless she really wanted to end everything n everyone. That's why I feel it's should've been frustration.. especially by Twilight's lameish speech.
I also kinda hate how Starlight did what she did at the Equality Village because ONE lil pony left her behind cuz he was sent to a magic school. It would've been better to me if maybe she was the last pony to get a cutie mark in her class or even village at the time. She had friends who were blank flanks and all abandoned her once they all had their cutie marks and she didn't. Starlight could've been constantly bullied by her past friends and other ponies because of her blank flank. This would make WAY more sense as to why she thinks Cutie marks cause hatred, evil, and separation.
