You know what I would’ve done? Make Prince Blueblood a Villain instead of Cozy Glow.
And Blueblood would be in Cozy’s Place in Those Scenes above. It would be More Tolerable, because Blueblood is an Adult getting attacked by The Mane Six. And I bet Rarity would enjoy kicking his Flank, after the way he treated her in Season 1’s Finale.

That would normally be true, but Cozy is (at the very least) a sociopath, and changing for the better is not in her. Treatment would only make her even more dangerous, and even more devious.
It’s true that some don’t change but other criminals do mature (or “loose their edge” depending on who you ask) as they get older and no longer commit crimes.
Except that considering the severity of her crimes, it’s highly unlikely that she’d ever regret anything about it but being caught. there are crimes grave enough that attempting to rehabilitate the perpetrator is a exercise in futility, because you know they will go right back to doing what they were arrested for if they ever get out.
Because even with just the age of time people can change. It’s ridiculous to think that at age 9 or however old Cozy Glow is she would always be exactly the same. That there is no way she is going to be any different at age 29 or 49 and so on. A lot of times, people look back and realize they were foolish when they were younger. But Cozy Glow wasn’t given that opportunity.
Why are people STILL whining about Golly being a child…? If you try and kill literally everyone by draining the forces holding the world together, then try and kill everyone again with God magic you have long lost the right to be treated like a minor, in their world or ours. Being a child doesn’t get you off the hook for numerous counts of treason, attempted genocide and regicide.

Cozy Glow encourage Starlight Glimmer and Rainbow Dash to take Twilight’s class to Cloudsdale with full knowledge that she was draining all the magic of Equestria. Not to mention without the crystal heart, all of the crystal ponies would freeze to death. So she put the Crystal Empire, Starlight, Spike, and other non-winged being in mortal danger and never did she show any remorse for it.
Kidnapping/Wrongful Imprisonment= She trapped the C.M.C. in a closet, Starlight in a sphere of magic, and the mane six with Spike in Tartarus. She left them with no amenities and no way to anybody.
Jingolism, Hate Crime= Just like Adolph Hitler who scapegoat the Jews, Cozy Glow turn the pony students against Smolder, Yona, Ocellus, Silverstream, and Gallus by intentionally blaming them for imprisoned Starlight and draining the magic from Equestria. Not to mention that she said that friendship wasn’t in non-ponies nature.
4.Regicide, Usurped, Coup = Cozy Glow threaten to kill, imprisoned, or drained the magic from Celestia, Luna, and Twilight. She destroy the pegasi weather system and hurt ponies all in a bid to conquer Equestria. She also work with Trek and Chrysalis to divided and conquered the pony tribes.
World Destruction = If Cozy Glown succeed in draining all the magic from Equestria and sending it to another world, she would have destroy two world on an apocalyptic scale. Not to mention her action brought back the windigos and eternal winter.
Given that you’re talking about one that wanted to hoard all of the magic just so he could destroy as much stuff/beings as he could with it, another that kept her subjects starving so she could push them into a war in which the primary objective was to attain glory for herself, and another that when she did reveal herself as a villain was after surreptiously attempting (and luckily failing) to kill the ponies who stood in the way of a plan that would have drove society to collapse and all the death that comes with it if it had worked, i can’t say i’m convinced.
And clear indications of also being a sociopath…intelligent, very charming, and absolutely no emotional connection to any living creature! For a sociopath, killing someone is no more signicant that stepping on an ant!
Or at least she did before she met her fate in the finale.
And I for one couldn’t be happier about that little psycho getting her just desserts. Look, if Cozy wanted to reform, she would have. She deserved everything that happened to her, no matter her age.
Age is very important. There are people who commit many crimes in their 20’s and then decades later, they change in attitude and see their younger self as foolish. This is why the “excuse” of her being a kid is brought up by so many people. Cozy Glow has so much of her life ahead of her to reflect on. Or at least she did before she met her fate in the finale.
@Background Pony #AB08
Agree to disagree. But even if she isn’t, her age has nothing to do with how much of a threat she is and how unrepentant she’s been about everything she’s done.
Wanting to rule Equestria is not being a psychopath. At worst this is greed and hubris. And the trio did plan to get rid of the Windigos with Grogar’s Bell (even though it wasn’t for altruistic reasons but the reasons weren’t so bad really).
That’s true and fair.

Or likely even less significant.

Don’t forget (most likely) attempting to poison the Mane 6 and Spike when they went to Tartarus.
Here the real list of Cozy Glow’s crimes.

Cozy Glow isn’t acting in self-defense, Spike is.

Cozy likely is though.
That’s why I said at worst, as in the worst case scenario. None of the villains in this series are psychopaths.
