I hate the human versions of them and think they are poorly designed and animated. While I understand everyone has a favourite, I am so sick of Luna everywhere. In fact it gave me immense satisfaction when in the Episode with Daybreaker, she looks at Luna and says "uh, all that black, we get it your sad." I never laughed so hard in the entire series. I want Spike to grow up, darn it. At least teenager level, or something, this baby dragon thing has gone on for too long. I hate Sunset Shimmer. She's pointless, and I despise her. Still hate Fluttershy. I don't like Ember. She's annoying, bossy, rude, b*tchy, and downright pointless. I liked Thorax better as a Changling.

Shy pony is given endless opportunity and support to not be useless; shys away from it and does nothing until a group of ponies try to build her a sanctuary, then she screams at them like a *&$%@,

See that's exactly what I assumed, it is not only marketing (again the princess title is more appealing to 'young girls') but the principality nature of it. But the general point I'm making is really, that's a shame.. really. I wish they would try to turn it around, and hopefully with Queen Novo, it'll start doing that in the show.

This has probably already been brought up, but it is something that has confused me highly. So you have Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, all rulers of their respective places. Great, that's awesome. Questions though arise for me. Why is Princess Celestia and Luna not Queens? To be a Princess means you are the daughter of the King and Queen, where are they? Obviously from what we can glean, they have passed away. They are never shown, nor really talked about (unless somewhere in the comics, to which I am not privy too unfortunately, so please educate me if this is so). On the same page? Great. SO, if the King and Queen pass away, that makes the Princess...now become a Queen. So why is it not Queen Celestia and Queen Luna? Or since Celestia is the older of the two, Queen Celestia and her sister Princess Luna? Why have the titles not changed? Now we also have Queen Chrysalis, which is explicitly stated, obviously, as a Queen. Why is she given the title of Queen and Celestia and Luna, and even Cadence, are not? It should even been King Shining Armour and Queen Cadence, but again, this is not so. You'll also notice King Sombra kept his Kingly title, and turned out evil, even if in the comics, he started off as "good". We have good Kings then, but hardly ever, IF ever... GOOD Queens. There has been a theory put forth called, aptly "The Princess Theory" and what it tackles is the issue as to why female main characters in certain things are called Princess without the knowledge of the whereabouts of their parents, either they are not mentioned or it is made clear that they are dead. That would boost the character up to QUEEN, but it never happens. Why? The theory goes that little girls like the idea of "Princess" because of what it denotes. Royalty, status, special treatment, yet kindness, care, beauty, and above all: YOUTH. Queen means older and MORE RESPONSIBILITY. Little girls (Disney and society assumes) wants all the perks of royalty but not the RESPONSIBILITY of a nation like a Queen has. It's less desireable to a young child to have responsibility. Disney has had a ban run, (if you notice) of making Princesses the "good guys" and all the Queens "bad guys". Have you noticed this? Queen has become almost equal to "bad guy". The EVIL Queen, trope. This has become so engraved into movie and story pop culture it's become an unfortuante staple. So therefore, in MLP, they don't call the "good guys" Queens. Notice, QUEEN CHRYSALIS.=EVIL. PRINCESS CELESTIA/LUNA/CADENCE=GOOD Why cant we break this cycle? Why cant we respect and honour the actual royal titles? Why can't a Queen be good? Why is age, wisdom and resposibility taugh to young girls (and even boys!) as undesirable? Why can't this become a positive? Thoughts?
