Starlight seriously felt phoned in the series especially after Sunset’s.
 
People thinking Sunset stealing the spotlight from humane 6 when actually..in Rainbow Rocks, side character till the climax, Friendship Games, she and Sci-Twi shares the spotlight, Legend of Everfree, Sci-Twi is the focus.  
Forgotten Friendship is actually the first time she was featured prominently throughout the entire runtime.  
While Starlight had more featured installments than Sunset and saves in S6 Finale and single-handedly in Mirror Magic, and apparently she’s the only one who’s “smart” enough to realize “banishing” the pony of shadows isn’t the only option.)
 
What bothers me the most is when Starlight becoming the “fan fav of each season; S6&S7’s EqD poll. We have such strong 6 man characters and sadly I see a lot of fan abandoned their favourites and choose Starlight.
 
Sunset makes sense because humane 6 is kinda bland (glad the ‘Digital Series’ changed things up and dynamics) and undeveloped versions of mane 6.
 
But Starlight? It’s like fans just ignored the mane 6 and talked about Starlight all the god damn time.
 
Thank Celestia, EG will outlive FiM. leaks
