I believe the tree acted in a legitimate defense. But we know clones in the show are considered “Not desirable” in the show. For example the Pinkie clones. Even I believe if a human from EG world goes to the Harmony tree, he/she could be destroyed; However if the tree notices a powerful magic like Sci-Twi, Sunset, etc. The tree knows there is good Equestrian magic. So, if Chysalis had attacked directly the tree, her only consequence would had been a one week hospital pass.

What I learned from the Tree is never fuck with it, cause it can do whatever the fuck it wants. Seriously, that Tree goes by its own rules that it’s freaky.
From the sounds of it, it seems that the tree really never learned when too far was too far, and is perfectly okay with throwing children into life-threatening danger if it means getting them to learn a lesson and become for harmonious with each other.
 
It was created by Starswirl, who’s a bit of a moral absolutist himself.
 
…I still speculate that Starswirl summoned the Windegos in order to force harmony between the races (or at the very least, did nothing to stop them), and that he intentionally chose Celestia and Luna as monarchs because they were young, pliable teenagers he could mentor into the ‘selfless ruler’ archetype he dreamed of.

Well, being a divine manifestation, that’s to be expected, especially when testing the righteous - that was small potatoes compared to what God let happen to Job, for example.

“Wait, what? Job? Yeah, he’s great, real stand-up guy and– oh, shit, I left the Random Tragedy Generator running on him? SHIT! …Uh, send a memo to a couple-a prophets, that was, uh… a TEST! Yeah, I was totally just testing him. Hold on, lemme crank the dial over to Every Day Is Awesome. Sheesh, poor guy, reserve him a Special Place in The Big Book.”

I don’t know, even in Reflections he was kind of jerkish (and this was after Magical Mystery Cure established the “didn’t understand friendship” thing).

I mean his EU appearances (both comics and books) does establish we’re following a Starswirl over the span of decades (even before taking into account his time traveling). The handwave here is ‘Starswirl used to have a sense of humor, then he he got old and cranky.’

From my understanding, Reflections has an older Celestia, while the Legends of Magic comics established younger versions of Celestia and Luna…
 
I’m so confused.

Honestly, “Great hero from the past lives up to all the hype we heard about them when we finally see them” is one of those tropes I can take or leave honestly.
 
and really, nothing I’ve seen of Star so far has made me doubt his magical prowess, which was the thing he was famous for first and foremost.

The timeline is loose whenever things that happened 1000 is brought up, even before talking about EU. Besides the obvious explanation, LOM never established when the Pillars were banished so Starswirl and Celestia’s mirror hopping could be shrugged as happening in-between.
