Okay, I gotta ask because something is amiss. When did they call her a lost cause? When did they say there was no hope for her? When did they decide she’s evil incarnate and nothing can be done? Because I rewatched a lot of MLP today and I did not see any of that. Cozy nearly wiped magic from existence, complained that she had to start over and tried to escape punishment before being thrown in prison. The school wasn’t for reformation. It was for learning. Cozy didn’t learn anything. A whole school and a whole society isn’t at fault for one kid thinking she’s better than the rest of the world and tries to take it over. Cozy gave up on herself being reformed. A couple of kids trying to make their principal feel better because of a problem child doesn’t mean the kid isn’t one. Cozy made her choices. She refused to take in the thoughts and ideas that didn’t match her own. She doesn’t care who she has to use or hurt to get her way. And, most importantly, she’s not dead. I’ve met people just like Cozy in real life. The ones that aren’t six feet under turned their life around when they decided “maybe I’m the problem” and went to fix that. Cozy tried to call real connections with others bullshit and got proven wrong by the simple fact that creatures coming together ruined her plans twice. She isn’t innocent. She didn’t want redemption. How much effort were the characters supposed to put into someone that refused to even listen to them? Discord listened. Starlight listened (the second time at least). The first step to reformation is communication and Cozy didn’t take that step.
And to quote the filly herself,
“Honesty? Loyalty? Generosity? Blah blah blah. I can make more friends without using any of them. And if I can’t do it here, I’ll do it somewhere else.” Those are not the words of someone seeking compassion or forgiveness. She doesn’t care about anyone but herself or anything but gaining power. She’d make a great politician or business mogul in our world. But that shit don’t fly in Equestria.
