Sombra redemed · 7:05am Dec 2nd, 2019
Just read the IDW comic from years ago, the siege of canterlot arc, issues 34-37 and I just have to tell someone about it. I honestly loved it and the ending. I always felt as tho mlp was one to actually use the power of friendship not for victory but change. The did it with nightmare moon and discord, but after that not really. Sure they saved the changeling but never chrysalis. That was what I disliked about season 9. They took the bad guys who were bad for seemingly no reason and made them irredeemable. Why was luna and discord redeemable but not the others? Especially cozy glow! She is a kid! If I had to choose which to redeem, discord the incarnation of chaos or some really messed up kid cozy, I'd pick cozy. It is a major inconsistency which bothers me because I LIKED the evil being brought back to the light from the beginning of the show. Because of equestria being innocent per say it made sense, and I love drama, and dark stuff, but every while I like light, and mlp was the balance for me. It showed you could have evil and good. Anyway I say all this mostly just to give context of why I loved this comic arc so much. It even had Twilight and cadence using anger and dark magic! It had both darkness, powerful, and true hope for true joy, which they had at the end. I want mlp to be a struggle against darkness, but I also like to see them after every battle, exhausted and beat, after sacrificing, to see hope and then joy. Its what made mlp different than anything else. It wasn't all sunshine, but neither did darkness destroy all. No matter if even they are hurt or their hearts burn with anger or pain being the victim of dark magic, they eventually find their smile again and find joy. They learn that destiny is nothing, it is their choice to be happy, a lesson they learn after much suffering.
And for those who don't think I can be dark and edgy, or that I don't also like that stuff, read my mature story or the poem in my other story.
Seriously tho pls do I think its really good, put my heart into both. :)q
