>>107433410Yeah, it doesn't get talked about a lot because who really wants to talk about her, but Pony Head being like cancerously bad (in-universe, not to the audience) is only like a relatively recent thing. 1st season had her apologizing for being a shit to Marco and wanting to defend the St. Olga's princesses, 2nd season she was just Star's kinda bitchy friend who only really shows up occasionally, 3rd season she started appearing WAY too much and it was bad, but she herself personality-wise wasn't really any worse than before and was still portrayed as helpful at times.
Then by S4 she's just literally staging kidnappings and it's treated as the usual. Yeah, it was supposedly a greater-good thing but pretending someone's close to being murdered is too far.
