Starlight at the beginning was a bit of a polarizing character, especially after her defeat and, to some (including me at the time), her sudden reformation despite probably being one of the closest villains to bring Equestria to total ruin. There were problems with her backstory on becoming evil and other multiple issues early on in her introduction. I still remember the drama of her hypnotizing episode...
But as time has gone on, I believe things have gotten more favorable for Starlight. Whether it is through actions in the show or fandom rehabilitation through the myriad pieces of art, comics and other creations we've put her through to change our perspective of her, she does seem more well-liked.
So what do you think? Did you think her character development was done ok? Do you think she was a good addition or shoehorned in? What episode ideas would you have liked to explore with her if the show had kept going?
Talk about all of that and more in the comments!
