Superman's more powerful, but Celestia does have control of the sun - the source of Superman's powers. Would she be able to drain the solar energy in his cells? Would she be able to generate red sun radiation?
Celestia's been defeated by Chrysalis, which I don't think would happen to Superman. Discord's a ash since he could beat Superman too. Ultimately, I think it comes down to their roles in the story. Celestia doesn't seem the super powerful type, while Superman falls under
Only The W Riters Can Challenge Him Now. So I'd say Superman hooves down, but Sereg will probably disagree.
In fact I'm effectively being paid to see it this Friday.
How'd that happen?
People say Celestia was holding back during her fight with Chrysalis, but I am not entirely certain if that's the case.
Same here. I just don't think that what we've seen really jibes with the superpowers that people like to bestow on her. I used to think she was practically a god, but that's just not how the story treats her.
I'm leaning towards the interpretation that Celestia initially did want Twi to save the Crystal Empire all by her lonesome, and only decided afterwards that "You saved the day but you got help, so FAIL" was kind of stupid.
I thought it was pretty clear from the beginning that she'd have to have help. This is a show about friendship after all. I was just surprised the Mane 5 didn't play a bigger role.
