So, is Tempest the Marcy in this scenario?

@Necrofeline  
I mean, it’s a punishment or rehabilitation bit. What good would sticking Tempest in a cell or administering corporeal punishment do, if she’s actively attempting to make amends? What good would putting the Storm King in a cell do to make him not be an asshole CEO with great khan theming?  
Granted, it’s idealistic and simplified, but it’s also y’know, from a children’s show.

Good lord, that last one tho.
 
I mean it’s absolutely 100% true but…it still makes me recoil somewhat…

@Necrofeline  
Reasonable take, the only real counterarguments I see-  
>We do see a lot of storm king aftermath, and he’s unquestionably the one in charge. Doesn’t entirely make her blameless (she was presumably actively doing some of it) but at the very least he signed off on everything and regretted none of it.  
>She also did attempt to fix her involvement, and I wouldn’t say an attempt to tackle someone about to toss a reasonably deadly weapon is “murder”, specifically.  
>Welcome to Equestria, where everyone gets a slap on the wrist.

@Background Pony #F3A2  
That still doesn’t justify her prior actions in the movie itself, though
 
She arguably did actions that were FAR more evil than anything we saw him do and she was CLEARLY aware of what she was doing
 
And yet she gets away with basically a slap on the wrist while he gets murdered?
 
Not cool in any sense.

Well, Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist killed the Storm King for fooling her for promising to fixed her broken horn just for her rough actions. Now it’s up to Marcy Wu to kill King Andrias for fooling Marcy for promising to take Marcy and her friends to other worlds to have amazing adventures just for getting herself and her friends stranded in Amphibia on purpose.

@Background Pony #5CE4  
Ah, makes sense lol

@Necrofeline  
I’d actually argue that, if Starlight is supposed to be ‘communist’, then Tempy is supposed to be the ‘fascist’ in the metric.  
I don’t have a point and neither does Tempest.
 
I kid. It’s part of my other overall movie take, which is basically “Character development, canonicity, and chronology are all out of whack because it’s supposed to be a same-schema version of the show so far.” The studio cannot reasonably expect you to go watch up to current first, and doing a movie that was literally just the first few seasons condensed loses all the characterization and gains nothing. The storm king being a jumbled discord or starlight and tempest being reflections of each other is less important than the overall setup of the same story playing out.

And Tempest is literally just Starlight if you dunked her in a vat of Cherry Coke and made her generic and emotionless.
 
Your point? :P

The storm king is literally just discord without the cosmic power to start and lacking any attempt at class.

Not as overdone as evil viziers.
