This.
Glimmer was written inside of the limitations of the time (don't know how to write the M6, ponies act more like cartoon teens than horsies, gradual descent into beamclashes and quips) and navigates them better than most of the M6 because she is a creature of the age.

People like Starlight are incapable of genuine empathy or love. Take her numerous examples of psycho behavior where she has no qualms about harming or manipulating others for her own ends and only stops when she faces consequences for it. The show never attempts to justify her inclusion before we repeatedly see her doing this shit, and it's a wonder how anyone finds her even remotely likeable. She didn't save the show or make it bearable. She was the shit icing on top of a pile of manure.

>She is the spiritual precursor to creaturequestria
Only in the sense that Starlight is emblematic of S6-7.
S8-9 are different again in spirit. You can't even really say that Starlight is/represents the killing of the early show because it's more like
early seasons (~S1-2) -> directionless stuff (~S3-4) -> twilicorn (S4-5) -> glimmer (~S6-7) -> creaturequestria (~S7-9)
but even that doesn't have enough nuance because like, the castle and the cutie map unify S5 and S6 in character a lot even though the actual content is fairly different, and everything varies a lot episode to episode so broad groupings aren't that helpful.
Rock Solid Friendship is a playing with OC's episode, A Royal Problem is a Glimmer episode to it's core (think about how many reaction images it spawned, too), but the finale is part and parcel of the last two seasons in pretty much every way (compare it to BotE in particular).

Funnily enough talking about Glimmer being/not being a pony, S5E1-2 has a lot of cute pony moments and S5E25-26 is extremely representative of the S6-7 art direction.

Glim Glam is one of my favorite ponies and made the late seasons more watchable. She's a cute early season mare trapped in the late seasons, she'd have fit right in the comfy low stakes type of episodes.

I find her a lot more endearing than Twilight. I love how friendship was always important to Starlight and that she had social anxieties that made it hard for her, so her learning friendship had much more meaning and made me root for her the whole way. It was really cool how she made her own circle of friends too, and it happened naturally instead of being fated by destiny which was nice.

Shimmy was better written but Glimmy was more entertaining

Starlight sucks almost entirely because of her redemption. Either you love her as a villain or you love her post redemption, either way the redemption itself ruins her.

it's kino and comfy, give it a fair shot
Sunset's a great character and has one of the strongest arcs in G4 if not the strongest (she's pretty much the only "redeemed villain" that gets meaningful development and closure) not to mention she's sexy as fuck

at the very least it's worth it for the songs, Ingram still cooks (John Boyd's songs are okay too, Mad Twience is the standout among his contributions)

also Forgotten Friendship introduces a character who's very clearly inspired by Anon and considering we see a 4chan window on a character's laptop in one of the movies, that's fucking hilarious

ultimately i still don't really think EqG needed to be a thing in the first place, but i like what it ultimately became and enjoyed it way more once FiM started to go downhill and it started to gain an edge. they clearly had fun with it and got to do a little more with it than they could with FiM because Hasbro stopped giving a shit about EqG after a while

Starlight has that too and more because she wasn't instantly fixed by a rainbow laser, I wasn't a fan of Sunset becoming a better friend than others so quickly. I love that Starlight had a full season of learning friendship to flesh out her redemption arc.
>>
>>43657527
I was a let down by Shimmer's redemption after giving it a chance since it was hyped up super hard. I prefer Glimmer's by a mile, being an entertaining friendship villain and having a natural reformation does a lot to make the redemption feel complete.

>>
>>43657593
honestly, the rainbow laser really is more of an issue with the movie and its writing than specifically with Sunset's character. that's a pretty standard trope for the series too, it's like complaining about a musical number or a friendship speech.

Stuff like musical numbers and letters to celestia have depth that expands the world and its characters. The laser is unfortunately a shortcut that's virtually no different to brainwashing. Passable for kid's show standards, it's a very easy method to change a character from point A to point B for damn sure. My standards of quality for a series I love is just a bit higher I suppose.

ELTSD is a part of Glimmy's redemption arc learning to overcome her anxieties that sets up the finale where she redeems herself along with some friends.

That's actually a problem with Shimmy, she's too perfect and thus wasn't very interesting to watch. Discord was honestly more fun. I like when the m6 and friends are able to make mistakes and grow from them, makes them feel more authentic. Even the elements of harmony can make mistakes, the most virtuous ponies in Equestria, so anyone else can too.

It's silly to bring up season 8 though, the writers went overboard with some of the conflicts there, we can paint most of the m6 in much worse lights like Pinkie.

weird way to "learn" it. there's no real consequence either besides just having to apologize.

no it fucking doesn't, what a retarded stretch
>That's actually a problem with Shimmy, she's too perfect
no she isn't, that's literally the whole point of her character
>thus wasn't very interesting to watch
she was very interesting to watch, and by far the most interesting EqG character (which is a given when you're the main character and most of the focus is on you)
>Discord was honestly more fun.
fuck you, no he wasn't, he was annoying and lame and dragged the show down whenever he appeared
>I like when the m6 and friends are able to make mistakes and grow from them, makes them feel more authentic. Even the elements of harmony can make mistakes, the most virtuous ponies in Equestria, so anyone else can too.
um, okay? what does that have to do with your argument?
>It's silly to bring up season 8 though
moving the goalposts. any canon material is fair game.
>the writers went overboard with some of the conflicts there
personally i think everything after season 2 was going overboard, but we still got a lot of kino out of it
>>
>>43657835
>no real consequence
It's more than what Twilight faced and Glimmy even made amends for it, and it was a direct setup to the finale where she opens with not being confident in having changed as part of her self-loathing and guilt.
>that's literally the whole point of her character
Sadly that made Shimmy boring. The point of Glimmy's redemption was never to turn her into a perfect mare but to learn friendship to heal her broken heart and make her altruism more effective. I enjoy watching the m6 and friends because they are endearing and flawed.

I'm happy for you that you like Shimmy. Personally I liked Sci-Twi more. Jerk characters like Discord, Dash, and Trixie are fun to me.
It's okay to like different characters, friend, you're free to your opinions as am I.

KEK, they literally treat Starlight as a redeemed character by the end of season 5. Sunset's redemption arc actually works because nobody bought that she became better the second the movie ended, she had to suffer the consequences of her actions and learn not to be a complete jerk to everyone around her, while Poochie constantly messes things up due to the slightest inconvenience and Haber will force a way to justify her shitty behaviour. The worst thing is the fact he's aware of this and just treats as "a cute quirk" and not something that makes her insufferable to anyone who's not a massive retard like glimmerniggers.

>Starlight had a full season of learning friendship
Except that she didn't. They never show her actually learning said lessons, they only imply at the idea she supposedly learn that stuff using time-skips.

Shimmy isn't boring, why do you keep saying this? It's like you expect her character to be something that it's not.
>>
>>43658163
Whether anything is boring or exciting is entirely subjective.
>>
>>43658125
If the writing weren't shit I would agree. As it stands that honor goes to Shimsham for me
>>
>>43658166
Okay, explain why you think she's boring.
Share with me your subjective reasoning for that argument.

Because I don't think if you watch EqG in good faith and actually properly understand what's going on that you can write Sunset off as "boring". Her position in the overall world is a unique one. Technically a pony but a full time inhabitant of the human world, she's always "in between worlds" and therefore has perspectives shaped by both worlds that other characters wouldn't have.
That alone leaves so much up to the imagination, even if it isn't interrogated too deeply by what we see on screen.
>>
>>43658175
If you look at her as an isekai protagonist of sorts it really starts to make a lot of sense. She's a pony shaped by the human world, just as we are shaped by the pony world through our investment in the show and its universe.
You could basically consider her an inverse audience analogue on that note. She's our anchor to Equestria and the straight man in this wacky Barbie world full of ridiculous characters. She doesn't lack personality so much as the personalities of everyone around her are so much more pronounced and cartoony that she bounces off of them like the adult in the room.
It's a subtler kind of character in a world where everyone else has some kind of gimmick or some kind of hat, and hers is just being both the least ridiculous person in the room and the most ridiculously ambitious one at the same time.

That and many didn't bother watching past the first two movies, Sunset's role in Rainbow Rocks is way more passive but she has plenty of great moments afterwards
>>
>>43658195
>Haber was a better writer than shimmer's
I'm fine with that.
>>
>>43658199
Then again that's the whole point of the movie. Sunset's deliberately avoiding the spotlight while trying to rehabilitate her image, and everything is only set right once all other avenues are exhausted and she's the one to take initiative.

It's honestly a great story about the limits of deference, and not to be afraid to take initiative even if it "looks bad" - basically, Sunset learns there are more important things than optics.

The average /mlp/ Anon just lacks emotional intelligence. Sunset and Twilight's heart to heart in the kitchen is one of the tightest character moments in G4 and it went over so many people's heads, myself included.

I already explained. She's too perfect and I liked Sci-Twi more. Apart from that her villainy left much to be desired and her personality isn't as fun as other characters. I've watched the movies, specials, and a few shorts. It's an okay show.

>>
>>43658305
>She's too perfect
That's literally not the case. You claim to have watched it all yet you're totally misreading her character. She's supposed to be an everyman, why you're reading that as somebody meant to be "perfect" I have no idea, this archetype is all over media/stories and you wouldn't consider most other recognizable everyman characters "too perfect". Which just comes off as a kind of illiteracy to me on your part.

This is insane cope and backpedaling all at once; the plot is what informs us of character you complete imbecile.
Sunset is factually an overconfident hothead, her go-to plan for Gloriosa, Juniper, the Dazzlings, and Post Crush were all to immediately confront them which horribly backfired on her by accelerating their plans in 3/4 cases.
This is why I cannot stand Glimmerniggers.

That one is ambiguous because she was recording it and obviously she had to have set up the recording beforehand. I wouldn't put it past shimsham to merc a bitch on camera but the reason Trixie thought she was about to witness a murder is because she didn't know Shimmer was recording the interaction and could therefore be playing it up for the camera.

Something I appreciate about shimmy is that she's the only major villain after Chrysalis who actually puts hooves on the protagonists when she's fighting them. Discord still does it when he's 'reformed' funnily enough but he exists in an ambiguous state of menace. Combined with her still being as angry when she's reformed as she was when she was before the first movie and she feels much more like the protagonist of a boys series a lot of the time.

Contrasting Shimmer and Princess Twilight is interesting because most of them would solve most of the problems the other one faces in two seconds flat.

You're missing the point. I'll say it once more: I enjoy watching the m6 and friends because they are endearing and flawed. Their flaws sometimes lead to interpersonal friendship problems with each other in a show about friendship, watching them make mistakes and coming out as better friends is fun and relatable in a slice of life.

The CIA still hates the actual commies. Most western "communists" are either useless faggots or schizo retards. Communism is shit.

And this doesn't happen with Sunset? The entire basis of Backstage Pass is her being selfish and blind to what Pinkie wants to do at the festival. It isn't some asspull that saves the day in that story, it's Sunset and Pinkie working together (plus the security chad or else Sunset would job to a locked door again like in Forgotten Friendship)

I liked Backstage Pass. Shimmy wasn't as boring as usual and I like time travel silliness.

literally this and its not even an argument. Starlighnt objectivley has the best late season episodes out of anyone in the show. Name me a mane 6 episode in season 8/9 that is as good as road to friendship or the parent map and I'll give you 10000 bits deadass.

Yea, SoS and frenemies are the only ones as good but they're about kirins and the legion of doom.

A trivial pursuit is on par with road to friendship because they both suck.

starlight glimmer was Haber's OC and thats why she worked
at that point in the show basically all the mane characters had nowhere else to develop. the show should've ended when twilight became a princess BE REAL. but hasbro wanted to keep exploiting FiM's good name for money so its corpse shambled on as they hired a bunch of new writers.
one was haber, who clearly recognised there wasnt much new you could do with these characters without treading old ground. so, new character, one that spends her time around other less developed characters so they can all go somewhere new.
haber, for all his faults as a writer, actually gave a shit about this (his) character and how they developed. that focus and that care meant they had actual well realised progression over their episodes exploring things that couldn't be explored with other characters. by far the only part of later season that made me feel anything
was it perfect? on par with seasonwun? absolutely not. but compare this to the majority of episodes that came out later season, written by single episode contract writers who had no connection whatsoever to any of the characters. when thats the competition no wonder "consistently written character by a writer who cared" seems like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
if the writer felt something writing it, that shows. if the writer felt nothing, that shows too.

>Haber doesn't bother putting effort into M6 episodes
>He puts effort into the effort of his oc so you'll like her more
>this makes her a good character
Glimmerniggers always fail to see that what makes Glimmer suck is the fact that she was favoured over the other characters because Haber was desperate to leave his mark on a good work of media that never needed him or his oc

the good show with the mane 6 ended when all the original writers left
id prefer the new writers to try something new than the necromancy of trying to recapture the dead show
more than anyone i blamr hasbro for parading FiM's corpse around to sell plastic

S5-6 are still good seasons on par with with S1-2 and S7 is at least S4 level. Different atmosphere and tone, sure and I get why most fans prefer that, but they're of similar quality.

She reminds me a bit of Minty, kinda. Mostly in the way they speak is different than the other main cast. Love those two.

Don't play dumb. I'm well within my rights to respond in kind to your hostility with my displeasure of EqG's writing that affected the likeability of its characters.
