Meh, good point.

@SuperSonic15  
Not if she started crying.

I will never let the “Mother Chrysalis” thing die.

The Derpening

Chryssy, you should have just emptied out the Hive’s offshore bank accounts and ran off to Mexicolt. Then you could have whooped it up for the rest of your life without a care.

Anything seem out of place there to you? I’ll give you a hint, Chrysalis has never treated the swarm like they were her children, and if that were really what she cared about, she wouldn’t have abandoned them (without the faintest hint of happiness that what was supposed to be her goal was finally achieved) when they got all the love they could ever need.
 
I think it’s safe to say that Chrysalis never gave a damn about her minions, only power. The ‘Mother Chrysalis’ thing is pretty much dead.

@Pause
 
Most of the characters are cardboard cutouts. The characters develop in one episode then relearn friendship lessons the next. It doesn’t stop me from loving the show, but the fandom has done more for making me grow far more attached to certain characters, especially ones like Chrysalis, than the show ever has.

@CompletelyBatty  
Except it wasn’t a good idea at all.
 
It’s an attempt to make her sympathetic that falls apart the second you make an effort to think about it.
 
And best villain? That’s a long toss considering she’s as cardboard cutout as you can get and her only gimmick is shared by her entire race. Shapeshifting changeling.

Obligatory salty comment about the writers decisions regarding changelings and the best villain of the entire show.  
First the fruit loop bugs and now our beloved queen has been reduced to this.
 
@Background Pony #1320
 
Except yet another hamfisted redemption in the name of friendship would have been dumb and completely out of character for her. I would have preferred some sort of grey area, like oh I don’t know, she attacked Canterlot out of desperation because her children were starving and she’s too proud to ask for help.  
You know, that idea that countless fanfic writers have been using since the s2 finale, because it’s actually a great idea.

@Red-Supernova  
If that is even possible with the Mane Six and Royal Family showing sympathy for her after all the grief she’s put them through with the Royal Wedding and kidnapping them to keep cocooned at her hive. Seeing her having gone insane may make them believe she is beyond even their help now.

@Background Pony #4B18  
I know her big-time fans feel bad for her, but the weird part is that I’m pretty sure those same people are the ones most opposed to her redemption; the one thing that would have prevented this otherwise inevitable, pathetic decay.
 
Jerks and bullies can keep being jerks and bullies (though so far, I think that’s just been Flim and Flam), but for world-threatening supervillains? The more they show up and fail (which they always, always have to, especially in a show like this), the only way to go is down.

@Background Pony #7FCF  
And when she’s insane, what are the chances of her barking?

She lost her Kingdom, her subject, her home and now she on the way to lost her insanity”

I wonder if Queen Chrysalis meets King Sombra?

@Background Pony #4B18  
Well, she’s kinda lost everything at this rate, so…

Oh, my poor sweet Queen.
 
Hope you’re getting summoned to a proper therapist.

@Pause  

 
I doubt it’s genuine sympathy…it’s mostly because she used to be one of the top villains in the show, but now she’s a blithering idiot bordering on being just comic relief.  
 
Oh, how the mighty have fallen!

And once she’s finally captured, it’s the straight jacket into the looney bin.

@Background Pony #C734  
Pinkie: Are you loco in the coco?
 
It’s come full circle.

Don’t get why people are going Poor Chrysalis.
 
Not like she’s ever done anything worthy of sympathy.

@SuperSonic15  
All the more reason to see her get a happy ending in the end.

I knew one day we would see Chrysalis like this after what we saw in The Mean 6. She has completely lost her mind and cracked. If Sombra, Tirek, or even Grogar can’t repair her sanity, she’s a lost cause for villainy.

Poor Chrissy. :(
 
This has taken me by surprise that she’s gonna appear in the premiere. Just more fuel for my pounding heart.
