• Discussion: Starlight's Impact

    Source

    The dust has settled from years gone past, but Starlight's inclusion to the show could be seen as controvertial.  By now, most people tend to agree that it was a good thing overall, but here's the question:  Was the show better before or after the end of Season 5?


    Starlight's inclusion into the main cast of FiM splits the run time right down the middle; a lot happened before it, and a lot happened after it.  While it's hard to directly compare the start and end of FiM (let's be real, the show changes quite a lot in its run time), in terms of quality of production I think it is better after Season 5.  Now that's not to say the early seasons aren't good (or even better; I like seasons 2 and 3 the most), but I think the writing improved after Starlight joined the main cast (ignoring the obvious outlier bad episodes x_x).  I also think that Starlight's character arc is perhaps the most compelling in the series after Twilight's character arc in seasons 1-3.
