I can’t believe this fandom is too harsh with male characters.
Instead to insult Sprout, I would give him a second chance.

Sprout was a xenophobic idiot with too much power and a pushy mother.
Starlight had her feelings hurt because her friend left and she developed a complex about it. Starlight is very different from Sprout. Also we got to see Starlight’s “several redemptions”, while Sprout has made a single appearance in one movie.

@LaszlVFX
See, that requires a consideration for context. That can be a pretty tall order, especially for someone who argues that character arcs should mean nigh instantaneous 180°s & that exhibiting character flaws invalidates those arcs.

@Kiryu-Chan
He didn’t even count the fact that Discord in that episode literally unleashed a bugbear on the students 6 and risked them potentially getting killed by it. So I say, he deserved what he got.

@Ring Team
>Using that Discord bit as a negative

ROFL
Discord was such an unlikable prick in that episode and constantly endangered the students throughout

@Shimmering Spectacle
Is there even confirmation that he’s gonna be a 6th ranger? If not, this was a useless upload.

@nocKode
Yeah, that goes beyond being “annoyingly clingy.”

Yeah, well, I don’t like Sprout, so I don’t care about him being redeemed. Even at her worst, Starlight is at least entertainingly bad instead of moronically bad.

@Ring Team
Also some of those points had to be done for a better cause.

@Ring Team
Since you’re putting like that:

@nocKode
Like I said there, he hasn’t done anything to redeem himself, and it’s important that it have to be earned and only that, no cheating it.

the show hasnt even started yet and yall pissin on sprout for doing nothing lol
also i love both of them and could not choose between them and i dont think slgs backstory is bad but starlight enslaved a town because of sunburst while sprout just wanted to be sherrif less so bc he wanted to kill all pegasi/unicorn

@Ring Team
Cool, bub, but not a single example from S9. How convenient.

Sprout: Says you… 😏

@Ring Team
HAHAHAA…
No. Simply no. Really should keep the keys unclicked if all you can contribute are provable falsehoods.

@Dex Stewart
That wouldn’t be that different from him walking up and standing next to Queen Haven, and the crystals lighting up and magic coming back right after he did that (which is what happened in the movie).

Don’t worry, Starlight. If Sprout is going to have a redemption arc, it’s going to be without magic. That way he can learn about de value of friendship without musing magic as a shortcut.

Something you have never ever learned.

They should have had everyone give him a hug at the end of the movie. That’s a redemption arc, right?

@Dustcan
yes

Not that either of you were good characters anyway.

But Starlight, you didn’t, you had 1 “”“Redemption””” in the last 4 minutes of a finale and singlehandedly destroyed the direction of the show lol
