Sunlight:That's because you were looking for LOVE, you said. That's not the way to solve things. You were looking the wrong direction. The fate of Equestria does not rest on making friends.. But, if we can bring Equestria back to normal.. Breaking the spell on Firestorm, restoring the Elements, and using them to take down the cause of all of this.. We'll be heroes. REAL heroes. We already had six of them before-But they failed in the end, because they tried to use friendship to solve this one. That wasn't the answer. I've already broken magic down to its most fundamentary particles- The four types of mana. And I've even solved how it could be possible for all the events in the heroes' journey to have gone, using pure science. And I would have figured out what the Elements were made of and recreated them if Discord didn't eat the one piece of information I needed!! (Yep, that's still canon.)

Sunlight:...If love truly was the magic the ponies made them out to be, the heroes would not have lost to Firestorm, who didn't have friends. Instead, they would have lost to the changelings-An army of thousands, who would all have these magical bonds with each other, compared to the ONE bond between Cadance and Shining Armor. Also, either StarSwirl wouldn't be so powerful without love, or Shining Armor WOULD still keep his power after getting his "love" absorbed.
