Thoughts On Celestia Turning Into A Villian?

Alright, as for the idea itself I feel while rather an interesting idea, I believe it will actually do more harm than good for her in the fandom's eyes as I'm having a strong feeling many members in the fandom will try to use this to justify their headcanon for an evil Celestia and with definite proof like that, I can't imagine her reputation ever recovering from that.

Yes, that's partly why I believe Luna received little show time since she was reformed from being evil. But Celestia hasn't received the greatest amount of show time as well. I mean, it could be a spell for all we know that just so happened to strike Celestia, much like when Rarity became possessed by that book. (is it okay to post spoilers?) *rubs head*

   I think it could be an interesting concept, if Luna was formerly Nightmare Moon, perhaps Celestia could be the Crimson Sun. Sometimes a story has to take a risk, The Lord of the Rings should took many risks, and most of them paid off, an seemingly innocent character like Celestia could make a good villain, despite the fact some fans believe Celestia to be a tyrant, however, we don't seem to observe totalitarian rule, not like Avatar the Last Airbender or the Legend of Korra, those programs did leave good hints about the character of the Fire Lord and the Earth Queen. Although power does corrupt, it would have to be established, a progression of a ascendency into deranged lust, sort of like the Shinning, Jack did not start out mad, he got that way as the story progressed, that is what would have to be established, instead of a sudden irrational act, to the audience anyway, perhaps the mane six would be shocked to see their princess unravel, and never expected her to become so sinister, so they had to embark on a quest to find a power to defeat her. 

I tip my hat to you good sir. My thoughts almost exactly. :D

Perhaps that could work, if she were to say wreck a good portion of Equestria and when she returns to normal, she is shown visibly affected by it  and seeks to right her wrongs. 

 

Let's put it that after reading her portrayal in the Reflections arc in the IDW comics, I'm very paranoid of any major arc involving Celestia after that one turned her into a love struck teenager.

Why do I have a feeling this topic is wishing for a Celestia Villain just so Luna fans can use it to justify Luna's turn in someway?

 

As Luna Fan I want this not justify Luna's turn but just to get more screen time. Im still ike about what they did to her during the wedding.

Fair enough, but I feel there are other ways to give them more screen time that doesn't involve turning either of them back to the dark side as I'd rather have them doing some slice of life episode rather than something major first.

Which issue of IDW was that? I've only been up to the pirate one as of today.

It's issue 17-20. It's a classic case of alot of interesting ideas but poor execution that ended up making Celestia an even worse character because of that arc. As a reviewer, it's one of the few series of MLP comics I whole heartily recommend you avoid it at all cost.

Why not it is a good lesson to teach that even the best of us can be corrputed. The road to hell is paved by good intentsions.

Oh man, that's pretty close to where I'm at too. Well I do enjoy reading the IDW comics so I "might" read it just to see what all the fuss is about, lol.

It's more like I'd rather have a few episodes that involve Celestia doing some good and helping ponies as a means to build up on that corruption as it would be much stronger to see her perform those deeds than to simply get mentioned she does them and have her turn for the darkside. It'll be more tragic for her fall if we're to go through what I'm suggesting.

Ya I do know, which sucks. Queen Celestia has more power behind it. It sounds like she actually knows what she's doing. 

Queen Celestia versus Queen Chrysalis, hmmm it does seem to add up. But I suppose Luna would be a regular princess, under-rating her more than she is. :(

Honestly, this idea seems a little far fetched to me. I just don't see it happening.

 

They could maybe pull it off, but I think it's just too much. There's already enough reformations and betrayals already.  :P

Maybe it would be better served as inspiration for the next S5 villain then? ^_^

I could see her going Woobie, Destroyer Of Worlds from the shame of constantly getting Worfed whenever she tries to defend Equestria personally.

Yeah I mean we've seen little glimpses of hostility, she would be a formidable foe if something unexpectedly happened. :)

Celestia: "All this time, I've taught trust in others. But what if you yourself become useless as a result? Nightmare Moon, Discord, Queen Chrysalis, King Sombra, Lord Tirek... I couldn't stop any of them on my own; others had to carry those burdens for me. Well, I'm sick of it, sick of being an unworthy princess. Starting now, I'll make sure my little ponies and their friendships are safe... by any means necessary."
