Starlight only surrendered after stopping Twilight's friendship speech and running away completely remorseless after her first defeat and the only time she was willing to stop was when Twilight showed her the destroyed world timeline (which would have screwed her over) and even after that she had to show her backstory (which was incredibly petty for what she did because of it) and have Twilight talk to her further about it. She only showed remorse after constant non-stop attempts by Twilight. What if Twilight had managed to defeat her on her own? I doupt she'd feel any remorse then.



There is no in-show evidence to Luna being posessed by another entity. Only that she got jelous of Celestia and one day threatened eternal night.



Cozy basically did what Starlight did in her villaige, she might not have shown remorse, but neither did Discord and Starlight initially. They immedietly gave up on her and tossed her into a completely featureless cage and sent her right next to the thousend year old supervillain. And yes, I can blame Discord for manipulating ALL OF THEM, because it was an abhorrent, villainus thing to do and why would she try villingly going back to the ponies who tossed her into a cage without even offering her a second chance? I doupt pre-reformation Starlight or any other reformed villain would have went running back to the heroes to warn them. Also one more thing: She is a child who, despite being very smart for her age lacks the maturity of adults and was pretty much surrounded by three ancient supervillains who all would have encouraged her to do bad things.



Yes, she did, just like Starlight and Discord would have. You have to remember that this was right after losing everything and she was most likely not in the right mind, and even after that she almost took Starlight's hoof (look at her expression in that scene) and only swatted away at the last second. I doupt she was in a joking mood at the time so I don't think that was a mocking prank of sorts. After that she was let go to go insane in her lonelyness (remember the state she was in?). Starlight was also immedietly plotting against Twilight and she had no problems with Spike getting hurt as well either, also, every idw comic is not comfermed canon, because if they were, Sombra would be reformed and his revival would make no sense. Either way she was an insane women who needed mental help not a stone prison.



You mean the same brother who, up until then was willing to do the same thing as him and stay loyal. Remember, were talking about the same creature who up until that point most likeky didn't understand friendship and the only experience he had with it was his own brother willing to betray him for it because some old pony told him to followed by him being tossed into such a horrible prison with no other attempt being made to reach out to him in a thousend years despite the circomstances making it a perfect time to do so. I bet Discord had many ponies begging him to stop his chaootic rampage including Celestia and Luna and he also wanted revenge after escaping. And about his honor, yea, it doesn't make up for it, but it still gives him more leeway then most other villains reformed or otherwise.



Frenemies proved that they could learn friendship and reform (remember their words after getting the bell (while genuenly smiling) before Chrysalis got scared and stoped them), something they almost did and could have done with a bit of outside effort. And realy, are you advicating against some people learning friendship? I thought it was a magical thing that bring people together in harmony not some sort of power that can do bad things if it falls into the wrong hands. If that's the case Cozy was right, friendship IS power, which I refuse to believe.



Remember when Discord was first released? He immedietly used his chaos to mess with some things and mocked Fluttershy for trying to reform him. He had to be threatened by the elements to stop.
