Ok, yet another लेख that may या may not go into the recycle bin titled "may finish later," in which I shamelessly rip off the probable 15 मिनटों of hard work another प्रशंसक put into their "episodic" series. Sorry, plazma, but this one's mine.

Pardon any mistakes या errors I make, because I have done zero research in the spirit of what literally anyone else on this site would do या not do.

I'm not sure on the demographic of this, but i've seen some divisive hate in the direction of newly-redeemed villain Starlight Glimmer. While I can't say I don't sympathize with the points and reasoning of those that share in the hate, I can at least argue against it.

First off, the M.O. of the दिखाना i'm ripping off, why the hate? That answer's simple, really: Her reformation and how they handled it.

Many points bring up that her backstory is weak and her reformation was rushed.
Now I can hear some truly rational folks reason,"Her friend moved away because a cutie mark? That's it? really? Nothing tragic like some government plot that could have forced her to use her special cutie mark magic for the sake of covert ops?" I sympathize wholly with that statement in particular.
However, that kind of story, no matter how potentially badass, would probably have not run well with a kid's दिखाना या would have been an even worse idea than what they rolled with. Not to mention the backstory of a लॉस्ट best friend, as we've seen, opens up a bit of character interaction for later.

Others say that the reform seemed unnecessary and unnatural for a टट्टू that seemed to be और of a rival for twilight than even trixie (sorry-not-sorry to any trixie प्रशंसकों out there).
Honestly, though, with the amount of time they were दिया and had available, can आप really blame them?
"Yes!" I can hear आप say. Some people probably और reasonable and smart than I am would reason that they could have devoted और time earlier in the season to a और gradual and natural reformation.
I would agree with them. However, my personal opinion is that the adventure arc leading into a reformation into a new side/main character was satisfactory enough to win my approval.

I for one welcome and adore the addition of Starlight Glimmer to the main cast. My opinion is that her insight on magic, especially on the inherent magic of cutie marks (juicy unknown knowledge!) could open new doors to theory and fiction.

What are your thoughts on Starlight Glimmer? Do आप think her reformation went well; या do आप think she doesn't deserve a spot in the main cast? Which प्रशंसक will I shamelessly rip off next? Will I ever find coherent thoughts in my own statements? Let me know in the comments!
