I don’t think she actually wants to be special. She really does need to retain her magic in order to retain the ability to remove Cutie Marks. She probably sees it as a necessary sacrifice.

Starlight Glimmer doesn’t believe she’s equal. She believes that everyone else looks down on her. She believes she’s better than everyone and that she understands something nobody else does. She basically says exactly that in the episode itself during her verbal breakdown.
Starlight Glimmer has convinced herself that her way is the correct way and that she is the only one smart enough to ‘fix’ the way things are, but in the end, she’s just lashing out at the world for hurting her feelings.

Holy shit. What if that’s how they beat her in the end? Like there’s a climactic magic duel that accomplishes nothing, then they sic Rarity and her ‘compliment attacks’ on her until she feels like there’s nopony like her in the world. If she truly believed in the ideals she was preaching, she would be absolutely devastated.
Headcanon: Equalist ponies get offended when you heap too much praise on them, and they take pride in their sameness, so telling them they are “average” is the greatest compliment n their eyes.

not sure what you’re saying, but i think i like it.
Heck of a lot better than generic wants to rule villain. Woner how they’ll show that in the finale.
This is correct, if I’m understanding the actress correctly.
I don’t think she actually wants to be special. She really does need to retain her magic in order to retain the ability to remove Cutie Marks. She probably sees it as a necessary sacrifice.
So internal conflict between wanting to be special and wanting all differences that could create conflict gone?
I’ve actually talked to her voice actress, and she does see herself as equal, or at least that she wants to be.
That would be funny, but I’m not 100% sure Starlight drinks her own equality kool-aid.
