>Discord and Fluttershy accidentally bringing one of the stars to Cosmos.
>some would call it arbitrary but honestly I'd call it pretty cleaver over having some arbitrary rule or strange logic that we have seen the comics and show sometimes resort too. The point is I can fully see Fluttershy wanting to do this and she made some pretty good points (with perhaps Celestia having a good track record with threats being something that I could find issue with in an overall canon context but I still don't know enough of the comic canon)
Celestia does have a good track record if we consider her constant need of the Elements of Harmony, the creatures that were locked in Tartarus and...well, that she´s had like an entire millennia to deal with them (she (or maybe Luna) said in the season 9 premiere that Equestria was found in the most peaceful age that it´s ever been), so...who knows what we don´t know. Call it a plothole or something unexplained that writers didn´t care all that much or we don´t know from the comics.

The cleverness of Fluttershy bringing that star could have been more brilliant if Cosmos made her a greater problem for her plan. What I mean is that she shouldn´t have focused on using chaotic magic to get rid of her but understand why Discord prefers the yellow pony over her. The core point of this arc should rely more on the interactions of these with the added element of Fluttershy interfering there instead of subtly build a relationship that doesn´t expose much depth beyond first contact lines between them. It´s logically made from a writing standpoint...it´s simply that it mistook slice of life material for a pseudo adventure.

>The art was a bit all over the place in quality. It's hard to judge as somewhat sloppy and loose can be a stylistic choice yet sometimes the characters do seem just poorly drawn outright.
after seeing Pencils´style, the rest feels underwhelming in comparison (especially in the second part). The only noteworthy pages in terms of drawing are the ones that end the comic and the Andalusian constellation ones, whose appearances immerse a little bit more the reader. It looks better when one uses the full screen but the thumbnails make it seem poorer and that somewhat discourages a little bit the curiosity for checking out this arc. Believe it or not, I was doubting to post this arc because of this reason alone (at the time).

>I don't think the ponies need to be drawn consistent on model and a sloopy loose style can work but sometimes they feel too wonky.
eeeyup, indeed.

>Would I like about Comsos is that she is intimidating and interesting in some of the implications around her existence and actions, but I have issue with the overall dynamic she sets up
you are summing up why this arc doesn´t beat Nightmare Knights.

>7/10 is my rating.
