I don’t know can you stop calling me a whiner for not blindly praising this comic? I didn’t think so.

Most defintiely agree with your stance, but don’t let Starswirl get to you. He’s caused tons of drama on this site with his dodgy methods of ignoring Twilight’s faults in conversations.

@Starswirl
@Pagan
You guys do realize that the anon he was giving the well-thought out discussion, and you two chuckleheads were posting immature gifs, being rude and taking potshots for the entirity of the conversation. While the anon obviously lost his temper near the end, its no mystery why.

Don’t know what countries you guys are from, but where I come from, everyone would consider you two the trolls.

Plus, Chrysalis drove Twilight into this unstable and nigh lethal mentality while she was in the caverns in A Canterlot Wedding. This is completely canon behavior for her given the right circumstances. No one ever accused Twilight of being an non-judgemental saint afterall.

And, to increase the likelyhood of this tirade of Twilight occuring again, the writers had Chysalis torment her endlessly just prior to Twilight getting her magic back and, cause and effect doing something rash.

1. They were there because those guys were no stranger to grudges and using dubious methods, but not lethal enough to cause a serious threat. Sending neutrals to deal with heroes is actually a lot more clever then sending straight up villains cause the heroes wouldn’t consider them a threat. Radiant Hope had no intention of unleashing a bunch of murderers on the Crystal Empire. Of course, ponies as powerful as Luna needed to be stalled with a more powerful person, Chysalis, and she agreed not to harvest the love from others until Sombra’s resurrection(which Hope knew Sombra would be less then agreeable about, although she eased tensions just to make sure Chysalis didn’t do something rash, eventually letting Chysalis leave by her own volition.
    
   Twilight goading Chrysalis and Chrysalis suddenly stopped sparring and prepared to kill Twilight close range wasn’t in the plan, but thankfully, she was as angry as she was distracted, and she got steamrolled by her own flung allies.
    
    
2. Unless Amore never told the two sisters anything, the ignoring of Sombra’s deathly aversion to the Crystal Heart, him finally losing his mind, and the loss of the potential Princess of Healing in the process, Radiant Hope, was a grave moral scar on the history of the monarchy. They had to consider karma.
    
   Radiant Hope not only managed to change Sombra’s fate, she revived him and convinced him to seal away the Umbra forever.
    
   And if you hadn’t noticed, in MLP:FiM they go to even more excessive extremes to forgive those that hadn’t a) lost everything and had 1000 years of exile, or b) were influenced by the blood of demons while the Monarchy simply watched things get worse until he had no where else to go.
    
    
3. While we never saw the full fight, Celestia and Luna supposedly had the elements of harmony at the time, the same way they had it against Discord. When the Crystal Empire returned initially, he was mostly immaterial smoke. Radiant Hope managed to revive him in a completely restored body. In most fiction, that makes a huge difference whether a demon lord has his full body revived.
    
    
4. Are you saying they shouldn’t have helped at all against Chysalis and the others until Sombra was arrived? Heck, the fact they got involved at all, actually being useful, prior to getting pushed to aside by the big boss character makes it a lot more progressive then the show in earlier years.
    
    
5. Stupid? She succeeded in everything she planned to do. The only exception being the Umbra, only Amore or Cadence could physically see through the umbra’s illusions. And despite being tricke by those, even just after recovering from a nigh lethal spell from Twilight, she still managed to convince Sombra to not only reject his destiny but seal away the Umbra forever.
    
   For all the people calling her stupid…  
   a) Sombra was revived  
   b) The coup was practiaclly bloodless by including the neutrals like Iron Will and Lightning Dust.  
   c) She created an arrangement to use Chrysalis on the condition that she wouldn’t seriously harm the people until Sombra was revived(tactical decision to join forces with Sombra on Chysalis’ part), leading to Chysalis leaving due to their plans.  
   d) She didn’t give up on the world when the Umbra revealed themselves, and only grew more determined to alter Sombra’s fate.  
   e) She convinced Sombra to conquer his evil destiny and banish the Umbra forever.  
   f) She refused to accept him disappearing and surprised even the princesses to create a spell that give Sombra life on the physical plane, and inspired the princesses to help her.
    
   Hardly stupid. More like a gutsy genius. I don’t mind her getting her hooves a little dirty after both her and her best friend being screwed from every side, the good and the bad, and what was in her knowledge she kept damage to a minimum, and what wasn’t, she didn’t let herself get disheartened. Even when the Umbra were nearly on the rest of the world’s doorsteps, she didn’t lose faith in her childhood friend and said ‘screw destiny’. And that saved the day and banished the umbra for good, never to return.
    
    
6. See the end of my answer to question 2. People have been forgiven a lot more for a lot less extenuating circumstances then demonic/umbra bloodline.

1. Why are Iron Will, Flim, Flam, and Lightning Dust here? They serve little purpose outside of distracting, hell Chrysalis is the only “villain” with a reason to be there, and even then, there’s no payoff.
    
2. Why did they just disappear without any consequence? They committed high treason.
    
3. How is Sombra suddenly stronger than Celestia when he’s been imprisoned?
    
4. Why were Celestia and Luna there if their only purpose is to get their ass kicked?
    
5. Why is Radiant Hope so god damn stupid, and why does she never face the consequences? Not one bad thing ever happens aside from this one panel.
    
6. Why is Sombra so easily forgiven? Do you not remember anything he did?
    
7. Why the fuck did Celestia say Sombra didn’t need to apologize because he saved Equestria? He saved it from himself you dumb broad.
    
8. Why doesn’t Radiant Hope ever apologized? She’s one of the masterminds behind this, and she just runs off with her boyfriend?
    
9. Why is Sombra’s reformation so quick? There was so little internal conflict that it feels like someone just snapped their fingers and said he should be good.
    
10. Why is it the only reason Celestia and Luna decide to help save Sombra is because Twilight wants to?
     
11. The fight scene is way too comedic. You can’t just have a mood shift between “serious brooding” and “comedy fighting” in a fight scene, because you didn’t have that before, and you suck at both.
     
12. Where the hell did everyone go after the reformation? The team of “villains”? Who cares? Shining Armor? Who cares? Any citizen of the Crystal Empire? Who cares?
     
13. YOU MISSPELLED THE FUCKING TITLE.  
    
     
    Those are 13 problems off the top of my head.
