You know what would have caused them to starve? Twilight’s spell, which left them without any appetite once she took away their desire to eat fruit.
Between that and Flutterbat, Twilight was the true villain of that episode.

And as most seem to miss, withering the goddamn trees.
Bet Fluttershy would change her tune if those bats showed themselves natural deforesters.

But Twilight only make them dislike apples, not all the kind of fruits.

Not to mention, she could have housed the bats AWAY from the farm, like in a certain hidden animal paradise, and gotten apples from Applejack in exchange for money or for these alleged superseeds they’d produce. Seems like a really easy risk-free way to satisfy both ponies wants and concerns :P

Are we really still talking about “Bats!” at this point?
AJ was right, Flutterbat was fun and should’ve come back, and Lightning Dust is worst pony.

Poor Lightning Dust. If only SHE had a friend in high places to shield her from the consequences of her actions like Rainbow Dash did that day :P

Who was in command of that flight? Who ordered Rainbow Dash to do it?
Yeah yeah Spitfire fostered the culture that encouraged her, but Dusty is outright dangerous. Her behavior in “The Washouts” proves this.
That said, I’d love to see Lightning Dust ten years later, where she’s a washed up, self-loathing alcoholic who wishes she had let it go and rejoined the ’Bolts on friendly terms instead of doubling down on “fuck those guys.”

Seriously though, I like Lightning Dust and wouldn’t call her a ‘villain’ as such, but she’s a grade A sociopath and knowingly sent a small child to almost certain death just so she could show off. Now Dash is occasionally a giant shitbag and quite definitely ranks high on the ‘should be in prison by now’ scoreboard, but still remains an infinitely better pony than LS will ever be (and Spitfire too for that matter).

Don’t militaries and police have a legal duty to refuse such orders, though? “I followed orders I knew were wrong because I really wanted a promotion” is pretty morally bankrupt and on par with, if not worse, than what Dust was doing :P
@Philweasel
I dunno, dude. Asking a daredevil who knowingly volunteered to do dangerous stunts to do a very dangerous stunt is uncaring, especially so when it’s a kid, but it’s not even on the same planet as “I’m going to kidnap and imprison these ponies and make them suffer until they submit to me” or “I’m going to destroy someone’s life by destroying time because that person dared to resist me and freed themselves and their friends from said aforementioned kidnapping and imprisonment and suffering.” Lightning Dust’s an uncaring jerk, but her list of wrongdoing is pretty short and not very severe :P
