Will drop a review when I read, but I just want to say this, I thought about doing something similar, but the task seemed too massive. Good luck with this cause there are A LOT of really bad episodes.
Great chapter
11628872
Well there ARE nine seasons.
I honestly think this episode is pretty fine already, but that's probably because I think it fits Trix perfectly. She's self-centered AF so it's not too far from canon if you ask me.
Honestly didn't notice much difference from the episode either except the anger getting out and possessing the others.
I really like the concept of this series and am excited to see your take on terrible episodes.
11628880
Any episodes you’d like to see me do? I could use the ideas.
Nice entry for this episode, hopefully the one when Starlight & a certain Chaos lord butted heads at school will get featured as well, cause the lesson at the end was very bad!
Course Spike's quip about education at the tail end of that episode was golden!
This is very good. I'm giving you six stars for doing a good job. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Can't wait to see more of your chapters and remember: No matter what, keep trusting, keep believing, be strong, have hope. The best is yet to come. If you're struggling today, remember that life is worth living and believe that the best is yet to come. Remember that you are loved, you matter, and never forget that there is always hope.
Here's a song that will make you do whatever it takes. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/HcNcOnIkQQU

I could literally post dozens, but I'll just say this one. (Though it may be more personal than majority.)
Season 7
Episode 17 - To Change a Changeling (go away Thorax)
11628897
Interesting, what do you think needs fixing here?
11628897
Ah-ah-ah! I don't want anything to do with any universe that doesn't have Thorax in it.
11628909
Too much. This episode doesn't exist to me cause the changeling reformation was a Deus ex machina.
11629097
To each their own. Can't stand the guy.
11629111
But Starlight got her shining moment and everything.
11629132
Starlight is one of my favorite characters and deserves so much more than just a couple moments to me.
Please do Bats!
The complete lack of anyone going “let’s listen to the animal expert” was mind boggling and made no sense, haha
She didn't have one ever since she was introduced to the fandom.
Anyways, I prefer this version than the one that we got, in my opinion. The original wasn't bad, but Trixie really was a pain in the butt...
11629946
Trixie is ALWAYS a pain in the you-know-what! But that is her character, regardless of how many times both Starlight and Twilight have tried to help the silly illusionist. You simply have to accept Trixie as Trixie, not another BG pony.
Oklay, so nopony is going to comment on your 2nd chapter. I will say that I also agree that this episode was rather free of any need for changes, beyond Starlight's rather unthought out plan. Removing just that part leaves an episode with a smoother flow to it. I still am not impressed with Thorax as a major character. He is simply too much of a doormat and tends to whine about everything he must deal with. Being friends with Ember helps him, yet even SHE has her problems as a character.
So, Starlight Fan, how would you change another Season seven episode, "A Royal Problem"? It is my favorite episode, mostly because of Daybreaker...
11629992
Nothing really. The episode was really good and Starlight’s unorthodox methods were actually really helpful. Probably the most helpful solution to the problem given that talking to them wasn’t gonna work. Yes, there’s the problems Luna caused but Celestia can fix those.
11630008
Indeed. I do agree that, while her methods were quite unorthodox, it proved to be the only real way to make both sisters discover what each had to go through.
Starlight is a rather complex character. She may have her baggage to carry around, yet the fact that she did come out rather well in the end was satisfactory enough. Oh, and while I am not a big Starlight-Trixie fan of that ship, it does prove how much of her growth as a character. I still would rather keep her in a Star-Burst ship, or even a non-canon ship such as Star-Dusk.
11630081
I prefer TwiStar. Who better to hook Starlight up with than the pony who never stopped caring about and believing in her.
A issue with this episode is it also how it rubbed it in that everything changeling-related went to Starlight.
Spike was the one who befriended Thorax, but he got robbed hard.
Like why didn't writers had him help Thorax here too?
11630122
If I were to include Spike, I’d have to rewrite the entire freaking episode and I am not doing that. My other option is to shoehorn him into the plot like Atlantis Squrepantis does with Plankton which is also stupid.
11630240
Its still a issue though with the episode since the episode was just pretending Spike befriending Thorax never really mattered.
And a little forced since why didn't Thorax invited Spike too since him befriending Thorax is what ultimately lead to the changelings reforming. Like isn't that strange?
11630122
Spike already got an episode with Thorax that season, remember?
11630277
Triple Threat?
Where the ONLY post-changeling reforming Spike did get with Thorax at all ended up being the writers making a fool out of Spike to Thorax(and Ember)?
That episode added quite some salt to Spike's wounds from how he got robbed in the season 6 finale
So.. that didn't help the issue
11630252
There wasn’t an invitation, Starlight just wanted to surprise Thorax.
11630287
Spike wasn't "robbed". The season 6 finale was meant to be Starlight's story. Just as the premiere was her story.
Great chapter
11630295
Yeah, Starlight’s story needed to be completed. Spike wasn’t needed.
11630295
He was the one who befriended Thorax, not Starlight.
It was the perfect opportunity for him but nope.
Hell, Chrysalis literally said she didn't capture Starlight just because she didn't see her as a threat. By that logic, she wouldn't nab Spike too. Since its more believable that a foe would underestimate Spike than Starlight(I mean, Starlight is super skilled in magic.
The plot went out its way to ensure it went to Starlight.
It felt a little force
If it was so important for Starlight's story, it wouldn't kill them to let Spike co-lead the rescue team WITH her.
11630293
I see, I forgot.
Though wouldn't she invite Spike too? Since she is aware Spike befriending him helped and I am sure she would think Thorax would be happy to see him again.
It just seems the writers pretended Spike never did befriended him that mattered.
11630313
Chrysalis was only going after the most beloved figures of Equestria. She didn’t see Starlight as a threat because her throne literally negates all magic so even if she was free, she’d never be able to rescue them or so she thought.
So where does Spike fit into this? The Crystal Empire basically worships him, why wouldn’t he be a target?
11630309
Though Spike was the one who befriended Thorax.
And yet he got screwed by the finale going to her while he was captured off-screen in a bs manner.
If its important for her story, it wouldn't kill them to let Spike in.
They were building him too with the Thorax and Ember episode AND him befriending Thorax too.
11630317
She wouldn't be capturing the others by that logic because the throne would counter them too.
She would have been targeting Starlight too since she literally lives with Twilight, putting Chrysalis's plan at risk.
But Chrysalis's logic of leaving Starlight alone and yet she still nabbed Spike, its contrived
Spike isn't really known(outside of the Crystal Empire) compared to the others(and he's not at the Empire 24/7)
So he doesn't really count. Even Shining and Cadance(and even Flurry Heart) were known outside because of royalty
11630325
Okay, I’m fine with Spike being in the episode but they don’t have to make him a main character of the episode. This episode is meant to focus on Starlight and her fellow former villains.
11630329
They do have to make him a main character though because of how important him befriending Thorax.
And also he actually fits the criteria for Starlight's "former villain" team.
Especially if Trixie was allowed in, given how she only terrorized Ponyville and it was only because the Alicorn Amulet drove her crazy(she didn't really cause a world incident unlike Discord and Starlight nor was part of one like Thorax).
While Spike terrorized Ponyville due to his Greed Growth took over.
What's infuriating is that no one even knows about the Mane 6's "mean" counterparts in the canon episode. Like, y'all cannot tell me that you believe for a second that the other would act so differently towards each other in a matter of minutes. You've known each other for years.
11638809
Starlight’s the only one who has an excuse, no one else does.
11638811
I think so too. Mostly because we see don't see her with the Mane 5 too much, so I would assume she's not as close to them as she is to Twilight. So, Starlight being angry towards Applejack is justified. But no one KNOWS that it was Mean Applejack who did it, so now she'll think Normal Applejack did and it's just... ugh. Unsatisfying.
11638809
Plus they already know about listening to each other. This was the first episode of Equestria girls for goodness sake. The girls on that side are fighting because sunset sent messages that they believe came from the others but twilight teaches them to talk with each other and they get back together. Ignoring the fight in order not to solve it seemed lame and how did nobody notice how sickly looking the fakes were.
11638819
Another reason why I think not knowing it was the Mean Six is a dumb conclusion.
Another issue I see with Mean Six is with how Spike was left out of the trip.
But also the fact that Chrysalis is acting like Starlight and ONLY Starlight is responsible for losing her hive, despite that Spike befriending Thorax is what ultimately led to Chrysalis's downfall.
11638882
Except that it was Starlight's idea for Thorax to release the love he had absorbed, triggering his transformation and encouraging the other changelings to do the same. That was what caused Chrysalis to lose everything.
Chrysalis didn't know about Spike's role in Thorax's recent history, so of course she wouldn't think that he had anything to do with it.
11638927
Its Spike befriending Thorax is why Thorax was accepting in, forming friendships with others and also ended up helping Starlight&co and eventually becoming king.
Chrysalis was aware of Thorax prior to TWAB iirc, she would have known Spike befriended Thorax.
And/or her constant spying would picked up about Spike's friendship with Thorax
11639103
Even if she did know about Spike's connection to Thorax, he was only indirectly responsible for her fall. Starlight was the direct cause, and thus, the target of Chrysalis' hate.
Lol Chrys wasn't the problem with this episode imo. The girls have been together at this point for what about 7 or 8 years? Yeah, they're not doing what they did in this episode. My friends I only knew for 3 years could tell when I was acting strange and vice-versa.
Oh and Chrys was absolutely incompetent in this episode. She literally was about to get defeated by her own creation. This episode made EVERYONE look bad. How do you fix it?
Throw it out.
11640290
Only Starlight is allowed to have the excuse that she doesn’t really know Applejack, if it were Twilight we were talking about, I’d be facepalming but it’s not. It’s Applejack.
11640311
Oh no Starlight looked bad because if I remember correctly she didn't tell any of the others off. It's not like she's not stronger than all of them..
11640319
How is that a problem that she didn’t tell them off?
