I'm reading the bay12 pony fortress mod thread, and it both amuses and worries me that the dorfs have adopted both the ad'aaaawable and the Cupcakes sides of the fandom.

But someone, like say, Twilight's supposed to be a superterrific Magic Prodigy. That's kind of her thing! Even Celestia was impressed. It's seeing her struggle to maintain that image that I find so enjoyable.

Also The Q&A Bronycon Panel is so awesome

Spooky.

@Seraph actually, I wouldn't mind it if the princesses were Showy Invincible Heroes.

I only have an issue with it when it applies to the protagonist.

You're right, I don't even know what I'm complaining about anymore XD

On second viewing, young Granny Smith's pigtails reminded me of Nellie Oleson.

Meanwhile, Diamond Tiara has Nellie's personality down pat.

How young was Young! GS? I can't tell if she was CMC or Mane 6 aged.

[up]She already had her cutie mark, so I'm guess around the age of the mane cast. She just looked a bit older than the other fillies.

@Ginger: Wait, weren't you saying you didn't like Celestia being flawless a few posts back?

Actually, I think the issue I have with regards to this show is balance between the mane cast members. I admit I've never been in a position where I've cared about team balance this much. [lol] Normally, I don't give two shits about the heroes

[up] I meant that I wouldn't mind her being invincible in the context of a fight.

No wonder this show is tearing my mind apart, it doesn't act at all like the sort of thing I usually watch. [lol]

I just want to see an episode involving both sisters sitting around and being awesome. but unfortunately, the only thing anyone will care about will be Luna -_-

I know. The worst thing is everyone keeps villainizing Celestia to make Luna look better. Despite, y'know, Luna almost committed genocide.

I'd love a flashback to the time that Celestia banished her sister to the moon, as long as it doesn't make Celestia a complete woobie.

There should be an episode where Luna convinces Celestia to go on vacation ("We ruled together for hundreds of years! How much can have changed about running this nation in the last thousand?"). Celestia is bored out of her mind and spends the whole time stressing about Luna making mistakes or something going wrong and doesn’t enjoy her time at all. Luna freaks out under all the responsibility and Fish Out of Temporal Water syndrome, but manages to eventually strike a balance with the help of the Mane Six so by the time that Celestia bursts in ready to avert [insert improbable disaster here] and everything is chill.

Que an about Aesop trusting in friends to handle things while you’re not around, and not discounting people’s abilities or holding past mistakes against them.

It's more the fact that Luna is infinitely more popular than Celestia is

[up] Does that plot have a name? Cuz it's so fucking cliche [lol]

It's the old "flawed characters are more interesting" thing. We just haven't seen many (if any) flaws in Celestia, yet.

I think it's just a matter of their roles in the show. Celestia is supposed to be the Reasonable Authority Figure, so she's very limited in what action she can take in the plot. Luna is a lot more flawed and as such has much more potential for additional use.

I'd actually like to see an episode where Celestia decides that on her own that she needs a vacation, if only to round out the character a bit more.

I love Celestia as much as Luna is just that I identify much more with Luna.
