Darla Dimple tries to ruin many animals’ career and life and attempts to drown them. I’d say she is a lot worse than just a spoiled brat. All I’m saying is why do we have to insist a fictional child to have some sort of tragic backstory or that they must be reformed simply because they’re young and innocent, instead of enjoying their evilness?

@Background Pony #B43A  
Darla is almost as good as any spoiled brat. Cozy is some world conqueror that for some reason her parents just gave up on her.

@Wayneponeth  
Yeah, why do people complain and insist she needs to reform? Darla Dimple doesn’t bat anyone’s eye and yet Cozy causes them to lose their goddamn minds…

I mean it’s just an idea. She could be reformed and some other threat could have done something else. I don’t get why people always insist Cozy Glow shouldn’t be evil though. Just because she is cute and a kid doesn’t mean she can’t be. People forget Darla Dimple exists and Cozy is basically pony version of her. Plus she is really fun as a villain. I enjoy it anyway.

@Wayneponeth  

 
And another evil Cozy Glow, for the sake of evil. Its not that she wouldnt do much (like in season 9), but at the same time i think this exageration, maybe i think she needs to have certain standards and see that certain things could go too far, but that’s just me.

@Background Pony #FFD0  
It’s canon though

@Wayneponeth  
I think Cozy already reformed.

@Background Pony #5959  
This makes so much sense. Cozy Glow was let out. She was still evil, so she commits the same scheme she had before. She could have somehow gotten her hooves on Grogar’s bell and hogged all the magic for herself and that’s how we got here.

@InuYugiHakusho  
EQG is irelevant

It only took her 2 hours, it was impressive really.

@Background Pony #5959  
No. That’s just made-up and an alternate ending to School Raze if Cozy Glow wins and the Mane Six truly failed.

@Background Pony #5959  
Pretty much, yes.

@Edhelistar
 
Then did Cozy Glow succeed in removing everyone’s magic like she tried back in season 8 and everyone eventually passed away from old age (the Alicorns and Discord no longer being immortal without magic)?

@Wayneponeth  
I’m more on the idea of the road to Hell is paved with good intentions:
 
Luster Dawn freed Cozy Glow, thinking she would be able to succed where her master failed. Then everything went downhill from there. That’s my headcanon at least.

@Background Pony #C6F9  
To be fair, Sunset did destroy a magical artifact capable of manipulating time. Who’s to say that didn’t have long-term repercussions?

@Wayneponeth  
It is usually a collective thing along with some individual blame. Depending on how far into the future this is in, it is very possible for a downfall such as this; especially when you take into account that Twilight and her friends are probably long gone. Plus, I’m sure Luster Dawn did her best if she and her friends tried to live up to Twilight and her friends and we’re just assuming she became Twilight’s successor when we don’t know that for sure.

I like how everyone is finding somepony they bias toward to blame for the event of g5 movie. I don’t know. Maybe the downfall of a whole nation is more of a collective effort than just one to blame.

@Background Pony #F7BE  
Oh right, the other Twilight knockoff. Sorry, I get them confused sometimes.

Pretty sure it’s actually Twilight, but okay.

You know you’ve truly made it when you need your young successors to go stop every bad guy you didn’t properly seal!

@Background Pony #F7BE
 
Given that they never established clear rules on how time-travel worked in G4, I’m going to dismiss possible butterfly-effects as time-travel, like in most shows not specifically about it, was self-contained.

@Background Pony #C6F9  
You mean Starlight?

You know that sounds like a neat idea.

Luster Dawn is the new Celestia? Nah, it’s probably Sunset’s fault. All that time travel broke harmony.
