Wait yakity-sax?

@sTs  
Meh.
 
I was hoping he would have been the true villain… Another mistake the writers for season 8 made… First Yakity-Sax, than The Washouts, and now this….
 
It’s a pity that they wasted so much potential.

@TheMultiBrony21  
Speaking of Neighsay, I’m glad he has a change of heart towards other creatures.

@sTs  
Which implies possible redemption in the future to make up for the cruddy excuse of a plot twist. (Her having nothing to do with Neighsay, and being a manipulative villain working with Tirek and then getting sent to Tartarus, which is what she wanted.)

@TheMultiBrony21  

 
Yeah, interesting theory indeed

@sTs  
Interesting.

@MasterT233  
Maybe she’s like tempest, where she decided to pursue her own path, and it’s possible that “cozy glow” may not be her real name.

@Yet One More Idiot  
Agreed.
 
@MasterT233  
Okay… I thought we agreed she was just a evil pony.

@MadVillain  
Maybe she doesn’t even have any parents. If she was able to ruse Twilight, Glimmer, the Princesses, and practically an entire school there is no telling who or what she even is.

@MadVillain  

 
In the hopes that the school could help open her up to a different way of life, and maybe convince her that being good was worth giving a go.
 
Alas, it sounds like it’s not worked…at least yet. She could still possibly make a heel-face turn further down the road, if she ever wants to try (and assuming she doesn’t pass any moral event horizons before then).

@Vaidelot  
A rebel to the end.

Well, at least Cozy remains defiant to the end it seems…

@MasterT233  
Plot Twist, her parents actually knew she was evil which was why they sent her to the Friendship school in the first place. It was actually written on her transfer sheet, next to “Has a peanut allergy”, was “Is actually pure evil”.

yeah, I said before, the difference is sunset was reformed and becomes the most beloved character
 
cozy, to the hell with her, literally

Key difference here being that everyone (Except VP Luna apparently) knew Sunset was a raging bitch from the get go.
 
Cozy was deceitful and manipulative from the start as well, but no one thought she was as much a bitch as pre-reformation Sunset.

@Background Pony #8FED  
Which was the first time that the elements of harmony was not needed.

@MadVillain  
Discord was manipulated into redemption by Fluttershy recognizing that he was lonely more than anything. Discord is just too prideful to admit he really wants friends.

@Twi_Clown  
Yeb

@MadVillain  
Agreed.
 
But he accepted it.
 
Once she accepts it, she’ll be redeemed.

@Yet One More Idiot  
Agreed.

How can anyone make an argument that someone doesn’t deserve to be redeemed in FIM when DISCORD THE LORD OF CHAOS was redeemed. The dude that ruled what would be Equestria for who knows how many hundreds of years.

Not that alike.

@Iron Storm  
She’s clearly not, especially from the beginning.

Sunset was a pathetic crying wreck at the end, cozy doesn’t regret a shit and is already scheming her next move.

Here I thought cozy was Chrysalis.
