What so now Lauren Faust wants it to be where Nightmare Moon was just an evil force that has existed within Luna this whole time? But that would then degrade Luna's innosence in Nightmare Moon's evil deeds, and make it so that the Rainbow from the Elements of Harmony just gave Luna a magical Labotamy, and could have it be where Luna could at anytime just give a big "F**K YOU" to her sister & all of her newly made friends and revert back into Nightmare Moon just for the creators to bring back a great villain when they want Nightmare Moon to return for real,

But If Nightmare Moon was just an evil symbiote that bonded with Luna in order to become Nightmare Moon, then that would make it to where Nightmare Moon is not limited to simply being Luna turned evil, anyone who gets possessed by this Nightmare Symbiote could become a Nightmare Moon version of themselves, this would allow Nightmare Moon to return without having to undo all of the progress that went into developing Luna's character after she was changed back from being Nightmare Moon, this would give the creators the chance to make 1 of the heroes/or otherwise get possessed and become a Nightmare Moon-like villain, they could do that with anyone, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack, Spike, Celestia, Trixie Lunamoon, Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, anyone,

So obviously the smarter/more creative way to utilize Nightmare Moon is have her be an evil symbiote, plus all of the MLP:FiM comics are all linked, and like how it is with many cartoons they can have errors and not be obligated to be 100% accurate to their own canon(an example of such would be in Teen Titans Go, where in 1 episode the Titans wanted Beast Boy to change into a Pegasus, and Beast Boy says that he doesn't do Mythological Creatures, yet in a later episode he changed into a Fire-Breathing Dragon, which is a Mythological Creature), the point is that Canons can change if the creators and/or the network/company/corporation wants them to, so it's sometimes best to just not bring Canon into the question and just enjoy the show/comic.
