I put it down to the convention of MLP:FiM. It's the same reason the police didn't show up during the final battle. It's the same reason that the Joker can get caught and escape again and again in Batman: TAS. Some details are eliminated to make for a more entertaining story.

And, I honestly mean no offense, but I'm not interested in discussing different standards of redemption with you again. I believe you've said that for you, that requires prison time for at least one character. You and I will just disagree about that.

Re: Equestria Girls - Valentines Day

Re: Equestria Girls - Valentines Day
Hey how is Celestria Alive if she was born the same time as her Equestria counterpart shouldn't she have died centuries ago or is the principal the great great granddaughter of princess Celestria human counterpart?
