In light of what I wrote on the last page, this is actually pretty funny.
So I never watched the G5 movie. I mean, of course not, considering the completely irredeemable disaster that was the ending of the last show. Why would I ever trust another show made by the same people? I mean, why do you think HBO canceled that Game of Thrones prequel even after spending $30 million on it? Not because people were so thrilled with the ending of the original show that they were lining up to watch the prequel, I can tell you that.
Oh, and a bit of spoilers ahead, so stop reading now if you care and still haven’t seen it in the last four months or whatever.
But anyway, I read a plot summary of the movie, and it turns out it’s not only technically a sequel to G4, it takes place at a time when Equestria had been destroyed so long ago it became a myth and no one believes it ever existed, and all the pony tribes are living separately and hate each other again.
So hey, everything I said was right, huh? They abandoned the magic of friendship at the end of the show, and look what happened. Sure, maybe Twilight was able to keep things going for a while, but clearly it eventually caught up. Karma usually does.
When I said it was funny, I meant that in a fairly dark way obviously. Really, it makes the end of the show look like Se7en. The bad guys won, by making the good guys kill them and betray everything they believe in. Which, again, is just an absolutely delightful way to end the series.
Ugh, and I really shouldn’t be getting invested like this, but… I gotta wonder about the changelings. The only reason their transformation worked is because they were able to make friends with all the ponies and other races, and get the love they needed that way. So if things got so bad the three tribes split up again, what does that mean for the changelings? Did they turn back to normal and start stealing love again? Or are they just never going to be mentioned—thus implying that they went extinct due to a lack of food?
Of course, everything I said is just overthinking, and is probably way more thought than anyone involved with the show put or will put into things. It was just some funny stuff to think about. Again, funny in like a dark way.

No no no, these should be forgiven because they’re far too valuable as allies to waste if they can be made allies. Like Discord. And in part because executing them is apparently not an option.
I think Buffy said it best: “To forgive is an act of compassion… It’s not done because people deserve it. It’s done because they need it.”
As they say on The Wire, “deserve ain’t got nothin’ to do with it”
Prefered your previous phrasing, this isn’t about deserving.

In-story it’s looking likely that they can actually be befriended. This is the magical pony land, not reality.
Worked with Discord and Starlight so those three deserve a chance as well.

Worked with other villains, it could work with the trio, especially considering their weakened state.
Discord? Who knows. That time he became too orderly could be a sign of a weakness?
Sombra? He didn’t die the first time and the Second time was Discord using necromancy. That opens the question of “can anyone be brought back with necromancy or is there a way to kill someone so hard even necromancy won’t work?” but that would be the case for everyone, not just Sombra. More importantly, necromancy opens the problem of “if time travel is possible, why aren’t there time traveling tourists everywhere?” if you will. If it’s easy, you would expect someone to do it sooner or later, so there should be undead famous people of the past all over the place, no? The only way to explain why it’s so apparently rare, is that it must be extremely hard to do. So logically, badguys coming back from the dead shouldn’t be too normal.
Sombra came back from apparent death twice. And can something like Discord even die in the first place?
Also, you didn’t befriend Nightmare Moon, you zapped her evil alternate personality out of her with your rainbow laser. Think that would work on Sombra?
And to make a completly autistic “Well actually”, you didn’t befriend Discord, Fluttershy did, at great effort, while you and the rest of the main 6 where busy acting like cunts towards him at the time and even afterward, which is why he betrayed you to Tirek at the first opportunity.
Also, I know this isn’t what the writer is trying to say, but how is the whole “locking them away will only make them come back worse” thing not an argument in favour of just executing them?
