Description
This is not the first time I talk about the ending of season 5 , but after reading several comments from my last comic , I think I could do that again, because this comic is something I wanted to do for a long time.The user said that even Starlight did bad things, no one cared about it. She brainwashed a whole town, she captured the mane 6 and take their cutie marks (although it doesn't make sense that a unicorn is more powerful than an alicorn) she time traveled to change the past and the ending of the last episode was Twilight forgiving her and suddenly she's good.
My problem with that, personally, is how both characters takes surprisingly well these decisions, specially with the backstory of Starlight, which is lazily explained in less than one minute. If you want to do this story, that's cool. But do it right. I think the ending should have been great if the part 1 was one what-if and the part 2 was a backstory of Starlight so we can relate with her better. Besides, if you want to conclude the episode with forgiveness, I think I want to see a more engaging story than a 1 minute backstory for a villain becoming good. I understood that characters like Luna and Babs Seed were forgiven, but that's because we can relate with them. There's a movie called Gran Torino which said we have to believe in justice. And there's a game called Undertale which give us a good story that talks about friendship, hate, peace, war...
I still think the reason why they made a seventh main character is because people loved Rainbow Rocks and Sunset Shimmer as the seventh main character. Both characters are the same. Both characters regret about their pasts, one friend usually makes a joke about their pasts and they tried to make a serious character.
But I'm not too negative with Cutie Re-mark. I'm glad that I saw it, I like the what-if of Equestria conquered by king Sombra and all these different versions of my favourite characters (by the time they repeated the same thing with Chrysalis, Nightmare Moon and Tirek, I thought that it was fanservice in the same low level as anime. Chrysalis deserved a better episode) and it's one of the few episodes where Pinkie Pie is actually really charming. I just think the episode is inconsistent and not very good. And it's kinda funny the way they conclude the final song, like "yes, this season has everything you loved and it was wonderful", like the final shot of Tom & Jerry the movie.
I'm glad that users like said exactly what I wanted to hear about the TV show, although I'm not as agressive. I think season 5 is better than seasons 4 and 6, but not because of this episode and The Cutie Map.
EDIT: I haven't read all your comments, but I'm going to say that I'm pretty busy right now. Not only I have to study english, but I have to do three commissions for a person (he's not from DeviantArt). Because of that, you won't see a new drawing made for me. I want to do a little surprise, specially for those who thinks that I'm really negative with the show. All that I'm to say about the next drawing is... October 10th.
Stay tuned.

Agreed, considering Sombra got killed, and there is a theory thing here Starlight still could be evil: nuvaprime.deviantart.com/journ…

Celestia being a little jealous of Twilight there. Because Twilight was able to save Starlight, when she had to banish Luna.

What I mean was she WAS punished while she was still nightmare moon. Her sentence to the moon was her punishment. And then her night terrors from *snaps fingers trying to remember* that thing that escaped her dreams and infected ponyville.
Hey, at least the season 8 antagonist is gonna get punished

"In the end." I didn't say she was forgiven right away. Likewise, it took the Mane 6 a season to forgive Starlight.

She just ran away and disappeared in those caves. Not really a situation in which you would say the Mane Six actually forgive her. They just forgot about her until the very end of the season.

Yeah, "Easily forgiven" is kind of an annoying trope. At least she made up for it a bit by helping save the crystal kingdom.

I actually like this. Did I like it when it happened in the Season 5 finale? Hell no; I was furious. I really wanted to see this smug bitch go down. However, when I had time to think about it I actually comprehended why it might actually have been a more clever decision than what we give the show credit for.
Let's take a look at the previous villains.
Nightmare Moon got banished to the Moon, forgotten by age and only remaining as a myth.
Discord got turned into stone and scrapped off History books (after all, even Twilight didn´t know about him).
Sombra got encased in ice.
Tirek got sent to Tartarus.
What do all these villains have in common? They were all gotten rid off thousands of years ago and then returned for vengeance.
Here's the thing; it´s pretty clear, headcanons aside, that Celestia doesn´t enjoy killing. She´s never taken the life of any of her foes, she merely imprisoned them.
And for a while that seemed to do the trick. However, the thing about immortals is that you can never let your guard down. Celestia did and they came back, more pissed off than before and even stronger.
So, why doesn´t it make sense that Celestia decided to go for another approach? Keeping them alive but not as a threat. So know they are trying to reform their villains.
Celestia decided to go for it with her greatest foe; Discord himself. And she actually did it; they actually reformed Discord. That's, sincerely, a much better solution than keeping him in a stone prison until the Mane Six died and he got free again. Hell, we wouldn´t even have to wait for that long. By Season 4 Discord would have gotten free thanks to the Plunderseeds and Equestria would be thoughtfully screwed. Thank God Celestia tried to help.
Now, bringing Twilight up; she´s a smart pony, she definitely can see the patterns. She´s been cleaning up Celestia's messes for the entire series for crying out loud. Of course she would notice that imprisoning villains ins´t a good long term solution.
And after seeing that someone she despised as much as Discord could actually be reformed, I´m guessing she´s taking the approach of helping every antagonist see the light every time she can.
And about Tirek; it was the Rainbow Power what sent him to Tartarus, not Twilight. If the Elements did what the user wants to Celestia would have used to to turn NM back into Luna.
So yes, I think reforming Starlight makes sense from a storytelling point of view and I´m like what they´ve done with her character so far.
Also, Sunset Shimmer being the same as Starlight Glimmer? They started pretty similar, but these two are pretty damn different, and if you don´t notice you´ve clearly not seen the latest episodes staring Glimmer.

The easy thing in those cases is to punish the offender. It's an act of courage and sacrifice to forgive them and give them another opportunity.
And please remember the time limit of the episodes has always worked against the show.
