Her ‘plan’ was to march into Equestria with a horde of creatures that probably wouldn’t stand up to three alicorns for long, using power she didn’t understand, from an object that betrayed her at the first opportunity.
You say I’m just making assumptions, and but you claim that she ‘probably would have turned the rest into demons’ and that it would have all just worked out perfectly from there.
Her ideas of how to stop/sabotage Twilight until the end all failed miserably and she resorted to taking Spike hostage at the end, then using a bluff that would have left her screwed if Twilight said ‘no.’
For someone supposedly so smart, she did a lot of stupid things, and she was a lousy villain.
In EQ2, her behavior was understandable, but it was not particularly competent. Maybe it was because she was waiting for Twilight to do everything, but tackling Rainbow so the Dazzlings wouldn’t find out about the magic (which they already knew about by then) and confronting the trio in that hallway both backfired on her. Badly.
Maybe the magic is different (read: made up as they go) in the human world, but if so, it just means that Sunset is maybe about as qualified to be investigating it as Sci-Twi. Between the two, which one was it that built a device capable of absorbing and containing those energies again? Sci-Twi barely understands magic and seems to handle it better than Sunset until the obligatory Make-Everything-Better moment kicks in.
Do you have any solid arguments you’d like to offer? Sorry, Mr. Fanboy, but your perfect pony isn’t what you want her to be. :)
