And in what way is a school supposed to constitute as any sort of help or rehabilitation? By that logic I could just as easily say that Starlight chose to try and attack three of her villagers after lying to them for who knows how long and after they, rightfully, rebelled against her or how she learned nothing from spying on Twilight other then planning out how to get revenge against her or I could bring up that Discord kept relapsing after he was given a second chance and all that help from Fluttershy.
 
And no, Cozy did not deliberately try to murder her entire species. How do you rule over a bunch of corpses? Discord brought in an era of chaos where no pony could ever live comfortably because any random dangerous magical thing could happen to them and tried to do the same thing again while Starlight almost ruined the entire timeline any, if we believe in multiple timelines existing simultaniously being a thing, she may have actually succeeded.
 
As for motives, I find the fact that Discord tormented ponies to the point where he was remembered as having a heart as cold as stone just for personal enjoyment to be a lot worse then actually having a purpose to it. As for Starlight, she manipulated, lied to and tried to hurt her villagers and later took it out on Twilight when they rightfully rebelled against her and all that because a friend of hers moved away when she was a filly.
 
If those two deserved a second chance (multiple in Discord’s case), then Cozy did as well.

Considering that Cozy was Twi’s #1 helper at the School of Friendship, I think she had more than enough chances to change her way before trying to nuder her entire species. I mean, she sought out Tirek for help on how to drain her people of their magic in order to rule over them. That’s worst than Discord and Starlight (don’t know about Tempest since I never saw the movie). Discord just did what he though was fun for him and Starlight was so butt-hurt by cutiemarks that she tried to form a society without them.

And why did they want to change? Because they were given the chance and proper help to do so. I didn’t see say, Discord suddenly want to stop tormenting ponies when he escaped nor did he want to change when he was released as evident by his mocking of the ponies.

“Slightly evil”?! That’s like saying Coronavirus is slightly contagious.

lol, well taking Tirek’s mouth and hiding it somewhere in the world just struck me as a very Discord way to keep Tirek in check. As for the eating thing, I just didn’t think it was that important a detail. You can head cannon it how you want or I can whip up some examples.
 
-It’s never explicitly stated that Tirek HAS to eat, and he does seem to be one of those ageless weirdos, so maybe he doesn’t. shrug
 
-Alternatively, you can believe that he consumes all meals in shake form, via a straw through the nose.
 
-An alternative to the alternative, you can imagine that Discord made Tirek photosynthetic when he took his mouth.
 
-An alternative to the alternative of the alternative, you can just believe Tirek was always photosynthetic.
 
Whatever resolution you chose, the important thing is to remember to have fun with it.

@Background Pony #9C4B  
No, Discord fades if he himself becomes non-chaotic. That’s a much different scenario than using his powers for non-chaos.
 
Discord would have no trouble doing anything like that, much like he had no trouble helping to petrify the three villains.

@Background Pony #9C4B  
Felt like they needed to explain that more.
 
It still felt like Discord can easily break the story into two with his powers.  
Like potentially auto-winning at anyone if he wants to.  
It really just felt like much more weaknesses/limits should have been explored.  
Or otherwise no one literally can fight him at all without out-right magic-nullifying(Chrysalis’s throne) or something like the Elements. As in without him practically “cheating” with a snap of his fingers.  
Reality-warping characters like Discord can be such a headache..

@nightshroud96  
The only thing we know for certain about Discord’s chaos abilities is that they must be used for chaotic ends or else he fades out of existence. That at least precludes simply taking away Tirek’s ability or mentally tricking him into not using it- while he could easily do so for a short time (like in Return of Harmony when he took away the wings and horns), it would not be a long-term solution because that wouldn’t be chaotic if it just becomes the new normal.

@soren1015  
How would Tirek be able to eat if he has no mouth?  
Like actually eating food.  
Tarturus either had some effect to put the whole “hunger” bit on pause or something actually give him food in there.  
Pretty sure Discord could actually take away Tirek’s actual ability to steal magic or put some mental block in there to keep him from accessing it. Unless apparently his reality-warping crap can’t actually do that, the writers didn’t bother properly exploring the limits of Discord’s chaos magic there.

…so, did they restrain her wings too, or does she fly off carrying the stocks in the next panel?
 
Uh, stocks and pillories are fastened to the ground. So that would be a neat trick for a pegasus filly to pull off.
