Starlight Glimmer- What is the opinion of her still?

While I know people are entitled to think what they want, I fail to see how anyone can like Adagio. She comes off as a failed clone of Sunset Shimmer, only with really disgustingly bad hair, and an even worse sense of fashion. She looks like she was queen of the disco, seconds before it died out.

I still don’t like her at all.
 
When she was first introduced, I did like her. A different villain that fights not with strength or magic, but with ideology. Not original in itself, but for FIM, it was something new and different, considering all the previous villains were your typical “big bads” that were magically powerful or what have you.
 
And then what do the writers do with her in the finale? Turn her into a generic power-crazed villain that just wants to fyayk up the main character and nothing else. And then heel-face-turn reform her into a protagonist.
 
Adding her to the main cast carries the same problems as when people were suggesting Sunset Shimmer should be added to the main cast: She doesn’t bring anything new or interesting to the group. She’s just a rehash of S1 Twilight: OP magic, bad at friendship. It didn’t help that almost every single episode followed the same formula of her trying to solve a friendship problem with magic, then messing it up and having to fix it.
 
Overall, she is just boring and bland. She doesn’t shake up the group dynamic. She doesn’t do enough to set herself apart from the other characters. She has very little to her character outside of “OP magic, bad at friendship, dark past”. She just feels like a slightly-different Twilight.

They probably should have stopped this after Sunset was introduced, and I really do need to point out me saying that has nothing to do with me being a fan of the character. Trixie was never a clone, Sunset had more similarities to Twilight than Trixie did, Starlight being introduced was REALLY pushing it…yet another time of day/synonym for shining character and all that entails.
 
Moondancer to a lesser extent, since she’s literally a recolor and is supposed to be Twilight if she stayed a hermit I guess..but she’s not nearly as important as the other two.

Yeah, it was bad enough that they chose to literally make a synonym of “Twilight Sparkle” for the name of a villain. That in itself was eyeroll-worthy…..and then they decide to do it AGAIN, except force the character into the main cast and give her like 7 episodes per season.
 
Blegh.

Starlight has had 7 major roles in episodes. Crystalling, No Second Prances, Every Little Thing She Does, To Where and Back, All Bottled Up, Rock Solid Friendship, and Royal Problem. Know how many of those involved Starlight messing something up with magic then needing to fix it? 2. 3 if you count Royal Problem where she’s reduced to a damsel at the end.

To you. I respect why you dislike Starlight even if I don’t completely agree. You dislike Star for not being that interesting and you wear that fact on your sleeve, but many people don’t just stop there.

Starlight only was meh in the Crystallling. I found her enjoyable at other episodes. Maybe in ELTSD Twilight must have been stricter, but I know Starlight is a pony who magic was the cause and solutions of her problems, like the alcohol and drugs with a lot of artists.

Okay, I guess.
… so apparently this happened, and the special crowd is actually happy because there’s another Glimmer “hater” suffering for their amusement.

I was in this thread, and while I didn’t read all of it, I mostly saw people criticising him for refusing to watch an episode JUST because STar was in it, even though her appearance wasn’t at anyone’s expense, and her big moment was a joke made at her expense (the Twi/Star are the same gag), which I thought was at least a valid thing to bring up.
 
Obviously anyone who went beyond that was crap.

Okay, no. Fuck that shit. There’s a special place in hell for those who drive someone to attempt suicide over a cartoon character that they don’t like.
 
At least, I’m assuming that it was because of harassment and not just, “This character is ruining my favorite show, so I’m going to kill myself.”

I don’t see any actual facts of what motivated him, just speculation, but I’d more likely speculate that the lulzy sharks smelled blood in the water, and decided to see how far they could push him.
 
Lesson: don’t post attention-seeking messages about rage-quitting the fandom. They will attract attention, and not the kind you’re hoping for. If you’re going to quit, that’s your right, just do so. But do it silently. Just stop being around. Find something else to do and do that instead. Maybe PM a few friends you’re leaving so they don’t worry, but don’t announce it to the world. That’s how you quit.
