thing is.. regardless of how everyone else feels about Cozy herself… Derpy would still feel bad that she crashed into her. I mean, look at that expression..

And with everyone else attached to the statue.. who knows if any of them were affected as well, since they were petrified as a group. She might have taken them all out by accident by breaking Cozy.

@Shimmering Spectacle
Not really.

@Background Pony #8249
yeah she did every one (not just ponies) a favor there anyway, besides the world is better save with them dead anyway, especially cozy.

Killing the worst character in the series? Derpy is best pony as usual.

@Moon Flower
Hi

Good job, Derpy.

@Shimmering Spectacle
hi shimmer

@Background Pony #7E49
She did what most think is right.

use pony glue

Oops

Poor filly. She deserved better. All 3 of them did.

Derpy what have you done?!

@WaynePonePone
you’re not wrong lol

I guess she got way too cozy losing her head too often, to this is nothing new.

(No, not Derpy.)

@A Gruntman
Nah, This

I always just enjoy Cozy’s evilness. I guess I wouldn’t mind if she was reformed and became like Starlight but I get to at least see a really cool villain.

I always admire villains like Cozy and Starlight. A simple pegasus filly and a slightly more powerful unicorn did things more fearsome than a bunch of gods and monsters.

@succubisamus
that I agree with there.

Except that in Cozy Glow’s case, many would pour fuel to increase the fire.

@midob
I should hope not. Any sensible person would use water, silly.

I wouldn’t piss on Cozy Glow if she was on fire.

@midob
It’s like Kataang vs Zutura fans after Decades lol

@This Discussion

I don’t wanna get to much into this never ending argument as it’s 2024 but discord siding with tirek is not the same as cozy glow betraying everyone after the school of friendship.

Go back in watch all of
twilight’s kingdom

Discord took convincing to do that and even before getting betrayed by tirek showed signs of remorse and didn’t reveal that he knew that the alicorns gave their magic to twilight until tirek convinced him that he was his friend.

He was operating under the belief that fluttershy and the others didn’t view him as a friend or want him to be himself. That tirek could offer him something more valuable than friendship.

Also having just fluttershy while being hated by everyone else is not even close to the same support system as EVERYONE in the cast at the school caring for her and treating her as a friend like the student 6, cmc, And mane six.
While being taught friendship.

When was the last time Discord was taught anything? He always has to learn something after messing up because no one teaches him anything.

Discord may have done more bad overall than cozy but cozy is certainly more evil in nature. Discord is a spirit of chaos and disharmony, his very existence is meant to go against friendship and to cause havoc around him and YET he still found the light and wants to be a better person despite all his mistakes and faults. Had no friends or family until recently.

Cozy glow is a normal pony who chooses to go against friendship even after being handed literally everything and given she never says anything, this sad backstory or reasoning for her actions that fans claim is fanfiction and headcanon lol

This is not to say it would be impossible for cozy glow to be redeemed or you can’t think this was too harsh (even though there not awake and escaped in idw s10 anyways)

But Cozy Glow and Discord are NOT in the same category

The sheer amount of vitriol against that poor filly is quite odd. I don’t understand why people want her to suffer so much. She clearly deserves the same second chance that Discord and Starlight got.

@Background Pony #220D
I believe this argument is flawed. The reason being is that Cozy’s issue is that she misunderstood friendship, not reject it.

Yes, she was good at solving tests and doing random chores for the teachers, however, that does not translate to worldly experience. She knew the basics, but not the actual application. She saw friendship as a source of power and essentially had a Skewed meaning of it. Because of this, her problem was different in a way then other villains, but not unfixable. The problem is that Twilight never once made an attempt to correct her misconceptions about friendship and try to help her change for the better. She was essentially given up on instead of being given the help she needed to correct her misunderstanding.

The friendship school is not a reform school nor is it some sort of super reformation environment. Teachers are there to teach history and whatever subject seems to be based off the teacher’s job, not to rehabilitate villains. Discord needed Fluttershy working specifically to help him change before he even begun to get better. They are, by all accounts completely different things. By that logic, I could say that Starlight should never have become evil because she still had a loving father even after Sunburst moved out.

Another thing to note is that Discord has betrayed the trust of his friends numerous times after he was granted a second chance. He sided with Tirek after all Fluttershy did for him, endangered some students by having them be chased with a bugbear and his whole thing in season 9, which was an undoubtedly very cruel act of his. Saying that Cozy is irredeemable because she was in a friendly environment before is not very fair when Discord did essentially the same exact thing.

Speaking of fairness, that’s another thing to point out: Discord was given a second chance despite doing nothing to earn it, betrayed Equestria twice and was forgiven almost immediately afterwards. Ever since he was released, he did horrible thing after horrible thing and yet he was constantly forgive. Meanwhile, Cozy was given up on immediately after it was found out that she’s a villain. Absolutely no chances were provided to her. She wasn’t released for rehabilitation, no one attempted to try and help her change and no offer of a second chance was ever provided. She got no chances, nothing.

As for her even being able to embrace friendship and change for the better as a result, we could see that being very much possible in Frenemies, where she did learn proper teamwork and did show genuine enjoyment at helping others. Yes, Chrysalis snapped her out of it, but consider how no other villain before the trio actually managed to come to that sort of realization on their own. The only issue is that they, and by extension Cozy, was not given any help in going any further then that, but that scene proved that she does indeed have the capacity to change.

Now, did Cozy commit objectively evil and dangerous deeds? Yes.
Were those deeds any better or worse then the ones commited by any other major villain, reformed or otherwise? No.
Did she deserve some sort of punishment for those actions? Probably.
Should that punishment come in the form of being locked in a tiny cage or being turned to stone? Absolutely not.
Did she deserve a chance to change for the better and achieve a happy ending like Discord and Starlight? 100%
Could she reform if given some time and proper help? Totally.

And regarding Tirek and Chrysalis, I believe that they too could be rehabilitated and deserve second chances after all the things Discord got away with. Especially Tirek.
