I wouldn't say she's a better Twilight. I would say she's a better Sunset, though.
Everybody's free to be wrong, I guess.

There a pic of Pony!Zenegata?

OK, so here's how I see it:I wouldn't say she's a better Twilight. I would say she's a better Sunset, though.
Oh look, they put even less thought into how their magic works in EQG than in the mainline series, and they don't even put much thought into the mainline series.
You know its been a while but I remember one of the things talked about in the earlier episodes, back when the Mane Six hadn't had as much character development and still routinely made big mistakes, is Cutie Mark Insanity Syndrome. Where it seemed like if a character was unable to live up to their cutie mark or conflicted with it in some ways, they would have a psychotic break in which they'd go cocoa for cocoa puffs and do cartoonishly crazy behavior that would get you institutionalized or jailed in a more rational and grounded setting.How often was Twilight wrong and had to learn what's right? What flaws was she struggling against? No, Lesson Zero doesn't count, the real lesson there was "I should not skip my meds".
Dangit. I don't know whether to use the 'laugh' or 'hugs' clicker-thingie.
Well, someone needs to eat less Moon Pies.

Starlight Glimmer is a textbook case of it. Her cutie mark is magic... but she blames magic and cutie marks for ruining her life in a massive overreaction, then resorts to radical magic to get friends, then even more radical magic for revenge when Twilight Sparkle ruins her plans. But the thing is, by the time she shows up, CMIS, at least among the main cast, is mostly a thing of the past. Twilight Sparkle still does stupid or even crazy things at times, but nothing that really compares to Lesson Zero (I'll MAKE a friendship problem hehe) or Its About Time (the future is a problem, no problem, I'll just STOP TIME ITSELF) both of which are pointedly comparable to Starlight Glimmer's pair of doozies. So as a result it just feels like "Starlight Glimmer is an evil whackjob" rather than "Starlight Glimmer is a pre-S1 Twilight lookalike but with no one to bail her out of CMIS as she descends into crazy".
