I’m actually kind of surprised you score Secret of My Excess an 8.2. Not that an 8.2 is bad or anything, it’s just I really, really like that episode. That moment with Rarity and Spike was so touching.

You know what would be funny? If they do an episode where Celestia wants Starlight to be an alicorn and Starlight refuses to be an alicorn because she feels like she doesn’t deserve to be one.

Making Celestia look dumb and Starlight look good? Sounds legit.

It would also be funny if they subverted the usual, “Refusing to become one means that you are indeed worthy!” stuff that tends to come with that sort of thing. Like, Celestia insisting on this and Starlight being all, “What part of ‘no’ do you not get?”

And then Celestia would be like “Ah, but your constant refusal of being princess and you thinking you are undeserving is exactly why you are fit to be princess. You are the princess of humility”, to which Starlight says “No, I’m not.”

Yeah, I commented on that scenario once.
Only that it fell to Twilight to offer it to her.

My fear is since we’re getting new writers, this is going to be a HUGE risk to take. Can they handle such a desicion? Don’t turn her into an alicorn willy nilly without something behind it. They need to do something great. they maybe could pull the trigger on it in S8, even i think S7 would be too early for a Starlight alicorn. If they do like they did in the Season 3 finale like with Celestia and Twilight, just have Twilight and Starlight, and have Glimmer turn down becoming an alicorn and saying she does not deserve it and rejects the huge responsibility of becoming a princess and a leader.
But in the end, even if she does get written a lot better in S7 than in S6, fans will still complain regardless.

I actually thought Starlight was written pretty well in season 6. But hey, I’m one of the few that probably thinks that.

The migration scene with Princess Platinum and Clover was very fun too, unfortunately, we don’t have any screencaps or gifs of it.

I read this shit?

That’s another episode that I really like. S2 has quite a few episodes like that that aren’t highly acclaimed but I think are really great.

Starlight would never turn down an opportunity to receive more power. That’s for damn sure.
Princess of Those Who Receive Things They Don’t Deserve.
That’s honestly what she’s best at.

Great episode. Out of the three we have, it’s still my favorite Hearth’s Warming-related episode.
And the pink one was adorable as always. <3

Humility.
What would Starlight be the princess of?

But she would be the princess of humility. She constantly makes jokes at her expense and constantly thinks low of herself.

Not to mention, in the season 6 finale, she freaked the hell out over being asked to help with the Sunset Festival preparations. I don’t think she WANTS to be in such a huge position of power ever again.

I think Starlight Glimmer might be the one subject where you and Spinny might not be able to see eye to eye.

Self-doubt isn’t really humility, though. And she’s definitely more than a bit arrogant by being extremely proud of her own magical skill.
Also, making jokes about her past actions is one of the things I hope the writers stop doing for two reasons:

- She can’t move forward if her past keeps getting shoved in our face.
- It’s more than a bit irritating that she can joke about the things she’s done, considering that when she does so, it feels like she’s basically saying: “Hey, look at what I got away with!”

I’m not sure what you’re basing that conclusion on. Starlight has demonstrated an eagerness to learn advanced magic and certainly doesn’t mind showing off what she’s learned to her new teacher, but even as a villain her goal was never about “unlimited power”. Plus, given the anxiety she visibly demonstrated over the prospect of being anywhere near a position of authority after her reformation, I honestly don’t think the show supports any claim of her being power mad.
@Spinny
@Spinny
Um, no. She’s quite arrogant.
Well she is fairly confident when it comes to magic, but much like Rainbow Dash (who is herself kind of an arrogant character), she’s not exactly lacking the skills to justify that attitude.

That’s true, she does get some things she doesn’t deserve. Hatred, insults, threats…
I still very much doubt she’ll be turning into an alicorn though.

I disagree with everyone on Sunset really. Having only watched up to Rainbow Rocks, I’ll say that getting blasted with Harmony powers really did change her outlook on life.
