Love it! Those three deserved a second chance just like Discord and Starlight and it was very hypocritical not to give them one. Luster is completely correct with them in this. Really good song.

[@sarahgreen9554]

You are right about the other two. But from what I remember, Chrysalis WAS given a second chance, but she rejected it and continued down her dark path.

[@sweetdreams1028]

@Sarah Green You'd really expect Chrysalis to give her hoof to Starlight? Of course she wouldn't in that moment. All Chrysalis sees Starlight as is someone who got in her way and the people who where there for her. It's a lot like how Starlight herself didn't realize at first her village was ginuenly happier after they got their cutie marks back. Chrysalis never saw later how Changelings can be happy and better with friendship. Because of that, she still saw friendship as a disease and thought it wasn't worth it.

[@Third7Plays]

The villains listening Chrysalis: what is she saying…? Tirek: what does she think…? Cozy Glow: what does it mean…? I don’t understand…

[@megasxlr22]

Ok so this song is canon. I’m someone who hates that word and I’m saying that. Who else is with me? This song actually happened in the show after the book closed. God this is so good! Seriously!

[@maggieizaya465]

I think that if they released the trio one by one and brought in previously reformed "villains" then they could reform the trio.

[@shadowspector3611]

They 100% could. Each of them cancel each other out (which is why it didn’t work in Frenemies) but if someone tended to them individually and tried helping them, they could 100% reform.

[@LarkspurLight]

Yeah like in Sawtooth Waves's video

[@joshuawilfred8050]

I believe they can be saved. I really hope that they will return in gen 5 and I also wish Sombra and twilight returns as well because I believe twilight should be the one to reform cozy glow. And I also wish twilight would adopt cozy, she would make a great mother for cozy. Twilight would make a great mother, and she could show cozy the real meaning of friendship and twilight can love cozy with all her heart and protect her as well.

I do 😊💚❤💙

[@Araxijiro]

I feel like that too. Like it’s happening in front of me

[@sweetdreams1028]

I 100% agree with Luster. Personally it's why I didn't think the final three larger was great. Cause it went against the message of friendship for the sake of saving time that didn't even feel that worth the wait. And Twilight still believes her thoughts are fact by not letting Luster be an introvert. It's like it you are an introvert in the MLP world than you will be either killed- or sorry dispelled or turned into a stoned statue. For a supposed Princess of Friendship it looks like she won't except others who are different.

[@joshuawilfred8050]

why do people think it is so wrong to want to believe that people who have done bad things can be saved and find redemption.

[@Rain5hine]

[@sagebennett3066]

Beautiful indeed ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤👍👌☺

[@pokefan5835]

You know, when I was thinking about how gen 5 was going to play, my first thought was if we were going to have a redemption arc for the mean 3 just like discord. They can come back to rule equestria and then once again be beaten by the magic of friendship only to later on be entrusted by the main characters to become their friends and teach them how friendship works. I mean I was glad that these villains were not reformed in gen 4 but I wouldn't be surprised or even mind if they did the same thing with discord to these 3. I just hope they have some recognition because they are literally just frozen in time as a statue and have probably seen the evolution of equestria itself through the years. It would be hilarious to see cozy still as a foal and the other two also exactly the same and just question, what happened to canterlot. This is my wish for gen 5.

[@shadowspector3611]

Oh my goodness, Ashley! Your take on Luster Dawn gives me a tiny bit more hope in the potential for Equestria. I nearly turned against the show as a whole just from the sheer monstrosity of a fate dealt to the trio. Even after a full year, I’m still furious at how people think that torturing their enemies (especially one who’s a child) is something to be proud of. So many people like to claim that they’re irredeemable, but I know as a fact that they have at least some good in their hearts as seen from Frenemies. Even if it is tiny, someone like Luster Dawn could help bring it out in them. They will at last see that friendship really is magic instead of being given up on by the rest of Equestria. This song is beautiful and brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for this.
