The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

I still don’t think the show made it clear if Chrysalis knew about how the Changelings worked. Unless I missed it, you would think that if she did know and was keeping it from them, she would’ve had a look at some point when Star brought it up that was like “Oh shit I’m about to be found out.” but she just gets mad like she’s furious at the idea that someone else might think they know better than her.
 
Like, her first appearance has a song in which she gleefully laughs about how she’s going to control everything and “Who says a girl can’t really have it all?”. It had ONE line that was “my job is to find food for my subjects.”, which is a line that is not contradicted in TWABA either. She says that her AND her subjects can feed off Equestria for generations. It also ended implying that she was at least tempted to join Starlight, unless she was pretending to look sorrowful to fuck with Star, as it gave her no other advantage.

No a few hours ago Shining/Chrysalis came up as a ship and Equestrian Scholar was mentioning how he thought Chrysalis was portrayed as iredeemable. ILove hasn’t been back yet I don’t think.

The first episode I can say that I loved in a long while: “Top Bolt”. I really loved this episode a lot, and I loved the relationship between Sky Stinger and Vapor Trail.

Season 6 has been a pretty lousy season (I still have two eps to go), and I can say this is the first ep in a long while where I can say I loved watching.

I think this idea that Chrys was retconned all that much was based on one line that didn’t amount to anything and years of fanon headcanoning created at the height of the show’s fanbase numbers and the fact that Chrys then vanished for years.
 
I bet if Chrys had come back with that same characterization as in TWABA but in season 3 or 4, we wouldn’t be seeing annoyance of nearly the same scale.

@gingerninja666  
Well I also think it depends on your definition of Retcon. Cause you’re right in that the line doesn’t go against anything we were told but it’s still new information that makes Chyrsalis a lot more one dimensional as a villain in some people’s eyes

I’m gonna watch your favorite episode “To Where And Back Again” next, but not now since it’s late and I’m going to sleep. Just a heads up, so get your pitchforks and torches ready for when I rewatch it.

Also, the context we saw in TWABA was completely different from how we saw her in Canterlot Wedding.
 
She looked more possessive and TWABA because Chrysalis was dealing with a renegade changeling and someone actively trying to take her hive away from her. Of course she’s going to be mad. And the line everyone points to is immediately followed by a line where she talks about feeding herself AND her subjects.

According to the episode’s gallery on the Wiki… No, surprisingly. Not one mention of trains anywhere, she hoofed it both ways. In fact, OAB appears to be the only appearance of RL technology invented after 911 AD in Season 1 (assuming the carriages in The Best Night Ever are based on chariots rather than post-medieval carriages, and this is excluding the fictional tech in Feeling Pinkie Keen), it seems Lauren really wanted Equestria to be pure high fantasy. After OAB, the next episode to have trains in it is The Last Roundup.
