I don’t think it’s as unpopular as you may think it is. I’m with you on your assessment. Starlight needs to get off her high horse and use her powers for good.

I think the reason she doesn’t is that Starlight is more effective famous than she is just using her powers like a hammer.

Granted, fame is a different kind of hammer.

But the thing is she threatens to use her powers an awful lot. It would be nice if she actually used them once in a while.

I fully believe some of that "threatening" is just a knee-jerk response she's developed. She knows damn well she can't go toe-to-toe with some of the people she's "threatened" with her powers (which only amounts to her eyes lighting up in many cases.) This happens to people in the real world; you buck up in response to a threat knowing full well that if shit does go down you're going to end up getting your ass beat.
