Starlight Glimmer: Villain To The End · 1:12am Apr 1st, 2023
How would the later seasons of MLP FiM have turned out if Starlight Glimmer never reformed?
What if she either doubled down on her equality philosophy, or revealed she simply used Our Town as a means to an end to gain power?
I've been following up on MelSpyRose's what-if ideas of Starlight remaining a baddie and even joining up with Tirek and Chrysalis. Personally, I'm really drawn to this what-if, because I feel it makes a lot more sense from a narrative and storytelling perspective. And it would deliver a good lesson that not everyone wants to be good no matter how much you offer them help, and that evil comes in all kinds of different forms.
What are some ideas/scenes/plotlines you would want to see happen if Starlight rejected Twilight's offer of friendship and became a recurring villain throughout the rest of the show, right up to the finale?
