She did not seem to be there when Nightmare Moon was there (I could be wrong since I have not seen that episode in a long time), with Discord we don't know what she was doing other then sending Twilight her letters back. Then Chrysalis comes along and this is the first time we see Celestia actively try to stop the big bad guy and she loses rather easily.Granted I know the reasons for this from a literacy standpoint, it has to show the protagonists facing and beating the big threat on their own and learning a valuable lesson from it. But in the series it can draw a noticeable line between how powerful people claim she is and how powerful she actually is. However I am not going to question that she is more powerful then the Mane 6, and her past exploits are something only a powerful being could pull off, either way I think you see where I am coming from.

Master Inika Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I think Celestia couldn't stop Nightmare Moon because, when she sent Twilight to Ponyville, she didn't know how NM would strike, simply that, since the thousand years were up, she would.Against Discord, the Elements of Harmony were the only way to stop him, since his chaos powers would easily nullify any other means, like Celestia's magic, and Celestia was no longer able to use the Elements.Against Chrysalis, I don't know.

kalhiki Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Wow. Those are great pictures. The Equestria map is great. Love to see how everything is laid out.But the Season 2 cast picture is even better. I love the whole "group photo gone wrong" deal. Everyone is doing their own thing. Even random characters like the "YEAH!" Pony (does he have a name?) and Ninja Mulia are in it. Not to mention Crackle, Cerberus, Mare Do Well, Screwball, Daring Do, and Ahuizotl.Then there's the activity. Pinkie surprising Cranky Doodle and Matilda, Vinyl and Octavia, and Applebloom wearing Luna's neckpiece.Need higher quality picture.Kalhiki Quote You're Doomed, Rayman!Boy!

Master Inika Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Upon re-watching "Hearth's Warming Eve," I realize that the actual Chancellor Puddinghead was a corrupt, semi-insane despot. He probably wasn't even really elected. Kind of a pony version of Caligula. Commander Hurricane (with his mention of having Private Pansy "court-martialed for insubordination") invokes feelings on Stalin, and Princess Platinum's disregard for the welfare of her own people make her like King Louis XIV of France. In general, all the ancient pony leaders seem to be racist imperialists.I'd have liked to see Equestria's founding reenacted by actors whom weren't adorable ponies.

The racism probably just came about from the food crisis going on and they were all looking out for their own people. I doubt that were that racist in times of peace since the system which all the ponies lived under needed mutual co-operation. And even though they were insufferable, it is going a bit far to say Commander Hurricane and Princess Platinum were as bad as the historical figures you mentioned. I'm fine with Puddinghead, she just thought inside the chimney.Though it is just a play. The events surrounding it would probably not happen exactly like that....what the heck?

To an extent, going back to your history analogy, all three of them had aspects of Marie Antoinette, as well, in that their decisions and attitudes were far from popular with their subjects.Additionally, even if the common folk did have a more idealized vision of their leaders, the leaders seemed to have reconciled their differences (with the help of their more open-minded right-hand ponies) by the time they all got out of that cave. In this case a sense of worship for the leaders would probably accelerate reconciliation for each of their respective races. particularly if that reconciliation was attached to an end to the famine and winter that had afflicted all of them. Again going back to history, the first Grand Galloping Gala which marked the end to the ponies' struggles could be considered similar to the first American Thanksgiving, only in this case marking a longer-lasting peace.As a side note, my personal headcanon is that the race of Unicorn Pegasi was established shortly after this (possibly by magical means), as a race of ponies to rule Equestria which would be equally loyal to all three pony races.

Master Inika Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Yeah, I got the idea that the three leaders were unpopular. Pansy even says so about Hurricane. And, given the Roman armor the Pegasi wore, Hurricane might have been more like Emperor Nero than Stalin. Quote "You are an absolute in these uncertain times.
