    I'll be honest, I've seen more people thinking Opaline was Flurry Heart rather than Cozy Glow

      I haven't heard much of cozy glow since getting turned to stone, but I love the idea of it being flurry heart I think that alone adds immense interest to Opaline as a villain/character.

    Personally I like the idea of Opaline being the living friendship fire because of her flames. It also explains why she couldn't be defeated by friendship like the rest of the villains.

    The fact that Opaline was still surprised that Misty was sneaking around behind her back, despite her knowing about Misty's Together Tree and how it works, which would require Misty going behind Opaline's back. 🤦

    As much as I hate Opaline's design in TYT, she's much better as a villain tbh as she already acts like a villain, and the comedy from her is a lot better too, especially in Opaline Alone where all she does is monologue about her evil plans with dolls(Pretty sure it was a Spaceballs reference)puts on absurd outfits, and the relationship with the ratcoonacorn as she at first literally tries to incinerate it, instead just allows it to chill with her.

    You’re not the only one who has those feelings. They laid out the groundwork for a fascinating villain, only to completely leave it half baked. I will admit Athena did do an excellent job portraying the character, but the fact they didn’t even go further into her leaves a lot to be desired.

    I think she has a very nice voice actor. Some parts in MyM she was really intimating. I like MyM went to the abuser-type story with Misty, because they executed it very well [I had a abusive family as well, I relate to this] and to me, the g4-g5 story connects well, GM Berrow who worked on the diary of the 2 sisters and gave us some of the alicorns lore in g4 worked in the g5 story. Is not hard to connect the dots.

    The way the comics depicted her made me feel like she was truly the worst villain Equestria has seen.
    But once she came out on MYM and TYT…I was like…bruh
    She was just a goof.

    I bet the people who deemed Cozy Glow a bad villian are now bawling thier eyes out for her to return, due to Opaline. She seems to have a gigantic identity crisis, is she a pure evil villian, is she an incompetent high school bully wannabe, or is she a comic relief villian? Who knows, in fact her whole existence raises a ton of questions. Who are her parents? Where was she hiding during multitudes of millennia? Heck, IS she a natural fire alicorn, or does she require fire to transform into one? She also does not do much in the shows despite her appearing frequently. In that time, she barely performs anything other than laugh at nothing, abuse Misty for no reason and have extremely generic monologues about power, up until Chapter 6 (which i actually loved despite the fact that i dislike G5) which was rather underwhelming, to be honest. Opaline often switches plans even when she is inches away from sufficing, and she's not very intelligent. But the largest issue is that she is bland and generic. Stereotypical "evil power-hungry queen" character, which could have worked but this just doesn't. Nothing peculiar going. The G4 villians where also uncomplex, but they were fascinating to observe, and served as entertainment. They where diverse,genuinely threatening and sometimes pure evil. How did we go from chaos god, bug queen with stunning singing skills, a centaur who loves butterflies, 3 Sirens with one of the most iconic scenes in the franchise, and a pure evil Darla Dimple clone, to Opaline Arcana, who's as generic and incompetent as one can get? I can guarantee that tons of people who are disinterested in MLP are Aware of who Sonata Dusk is, while none of them would know who Opaline is. Of course, she does have positive qualities, such as her voice actress, her songs are gorgeous despite thier lyrics, and i actually think she is visually beautiful: it does not remind me of fire, but it is stunning.

      For the record, i am fond of Opaline, hence why she's present in my account's cover. However, i must acknowledge that she is a horrible character.

    Respectfully what's up with the insistence on Cozy Glow existing in general in your theory, do you wish she got a better ending? I ask this question out of curiousity. My personal opinion is that her character has run it's course and she serves no purpose, that's on top of just being uninteresting from a character and character dynamic point without villainy involved.

      To answer your question not really i just thought it was a neet little idea that’s it
      Like image not a reform version of cozy glow but a brain washed version of her living with opaline and considering her like a mother but then it gets reveal too her she was a ancient villain from equestria and we see how that shatters her world and outside of that we could see the relationship she has with misty as friends and sisters
      we could learn with her that it doesn’t matter who you were and the mistakes you did you can be forgiven and move on as a better version of you
      And it’s not a theory it was a what if story of opaline’s backstory
