Dawnshine Wonder

Without characters like Queen Chrysalis, there would not be much of a contrast of good vs evil, the only thing that prevents me from being scared of Queen Chrysalis is that she is not real. Chrysalis either tries to destroy or subjugate her victims, none of those outcomes are any good for Equestria and worlds beyond. A good episode, yes, but it is also a reminder that peace can only last as long as there are individuals willing to defend it. Equestria is a lovely world that I adore very much, but like every other world, it has its imperfections. Yeah, Chrysalis took down Celestia in a duel, but if Chrysalis was too easily defeated it would not have been an interesting battle, if an enemy is a weak threat, you would not have much of a story to tell, no real stakes in the conflict, to make a battle interesting in a story requires this sense that the heroes could lose if they don't pay attention. What I liked about this was Celestia's bravery when the outcome looked grim, people can say what they want about Celestia, but there is something she is not, is selfish, because she was prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect her subjects, being caught off guard before it got to this point, does not change this. What gets me is how people blamed Princess Celestia for being angry with Twilight Sparkle initially for accusing Princess Cadance, when a shapeshifter was literally using identity theft to mislead both of them without either of their knowledge. People are all too ready to care about the result without looking at the cause and effect part of the situation, think about it, if a shapeshifter in real life existed, especially if they were smart enough to mask their identity from cameras, it would be incredibly difficult to detect them without DNA evidence, and I doubt such advanced forensic investigation existed in Equestria G4, all they could do is go by what they can directly observe, and it took some time before they could ascertain what was going on.

I know my previous post is old and by extension so is the show it's about. However I wished to say thank you. It may not be a popular opinion, I realize that, some people do not like Princess Celestia, me and some of our friends do. Want to know something hilarious? I don't know how Celestia can eat all them cakes and not become overweight, high metabolism maybe? but that's the least of her worries considering the threats Equestria faced from time to time. I admired Celestia's bravery in taking on Queen Chrysalis in A Canterlot Wedding, like she did not attempt to use any other Pony to shield herself, she took it upon herself to defend her kingdom, even if it meant making the ultimate sacrifice, thankfully she did not die, but she could have done and she was aware of that, heroic royalty is the best royalty in my opinion. As for her love for high calorie foods, I find that humorous, I wonder if she likes jam on toast? you know a lot of fans claim Princess Celestia is lazy, but she is clearly burning up her energy from some activity if she never becomes obese from all that food she eats.
