![]() ![]() If she tried to face him directly, he'd just kick her ass.Ĥ) She's playful. It took both her and Luna, working together, plus the strength of the Elements, to take out Discord the first time. To have her standing there next to the princess, shaking hooves with the most affluent Equestrian citizens? That's a big deal.ģ) Again, she didn't have the Elements of Harmony. Besides, even though it might not have been what Twilight had hoped, her experience at the Gala pretty much made her one of the most important ponies alive. A little more on the physics of it ( )Ģ) Often times leaving someone to learn something on their own is the best, or even only, way to teach them. Luna possessed something like the Elements of Harmony which gave her enough strength to hold the Moon in place and carry on with other activities. Since Luna stopped the Moon, Celestia couldn't allow the Sun to orbit as usual, or else the two objects would crash together and both would be broken. This is assuming, as the show seems to suggest, that both the Sun and Moon orbit the planet. In my headcanon, Celestia was busy using every ounce of energy she had preventing the Sun from falling to the Earth. When NMM came back, a thousand years later, the Main Six had the Elements, but couldn't use them until near the end of the episode. The first time NightMare Moon attacked, Celestia had the full power of the Elements of Harmony at her disposal. I believe this can be explained by the passing of the Elements of Harmony. She's obviously an amazing ruler to hold the throne for over a millennium. At the same time, she has ruled the country for over a thousand years any nation would take lasting one thousand years as an amazing accomplishment, but she did it while holding the throne for the full duration. As Chrysalis points out, it's more filled with love than any other place in the world, and every indication we have is that it is a wonderful place to live. Rather, I'd say the proper measure is how good of a place to live is your nation and how well does it endure. I really don't think having fun or having to deal with ruling a nation at the expense of helping out your student a bit more is really a sign of an incompetent ruler. Other than that, you say she's incompetent because she enjoys cake and isn't able to deal with Twilight as much as might be ideal. As such, she really can't be called an incompetent ruler when her nation has defended itself successfully from every threat against them for over a thousand years. Even then, her Captain of the Royal Guard came through and defeated the changelings. Only against the Queen of the Changelings did she truly fail where she first failed to respond properly to the threat. Later, she facilitated the second defeat of both Nightmare Moon and Discord through her disciple who she had groomed since childhood, Twilight Sparkle. Most rulers never touch a weapon, and the facts that she has defeated Nightmare Moon in the past and freed Equestria from Discord are huge points in her favor. She makes several clear mistakes during the whole show.įirst of all, you can't say someone's a bad ruler because they can't personally defend all their subjects. I have come to the conclusion Celestia is a weak ruler, with several flaws, unable to use wisdom, and generally unskilled. Unable to provide any kind of match against Chrysalis. Unable to detect Chrysalis' spell, and even acting rude towards Twilight, not even investigating further despite clear threats against Canterlots. Unable to fight any threat - unable to act against Discord, she just let the world fall to ChaosĪppears pretty stupid eating cake at M-M-M-Mystery express and acting childish at several points during the serie Unable to fulfill her duties as a mentor several times - she just ignores Twilight in "At the Gala", she berates her in "Lesson Zero" and makes a stupid joke with the Phenix, plain and simply not telling everypony what is up until the end, etc. Unable to fight a pony she beat many years ago in S1E1-E2, unable even to help her subjects - she just disappears " The 5 Habits of Highly Effective Ponies":Ģ6B.I came upon that realisation recently.
