Grumpy Enchantress 587 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 She's had more episodes about her than Celestia and she's not even as powerful. Why's she used so much? Is it that she has more fans? Do the writers like her better? What do you think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeet 2,027 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 She is just used more, she doesn't have as big a job as celestia, so she can do what she wants and troll everyones dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen Pathfinder 16,162 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 Well, the fans latched onto her for a variety of reasons; cheif among them just relating to her. In the end she has only one true episode that focuses on her, and she's played supporting roles to the CMC. At this point I don't see her as overused. The comics on the other hand...possibly. 2 Pathfinder I Sojourner I Corsair | Zu'hra I Autumn | Scarlet Willow | Gypsy | Silverthorn | Crystal Whisper | Radiant Historia | And many other OCs~ Matching signatures with mah Bestie MOONLIGHT <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megas 27,787 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 Does anyone relate to her real personality or just the fanon perception of her personality during Season 1? She was pretty awkward in Luna Eclipse, and some could argue that they could relate to her "getting overshadowed by her sister" from the pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesme Rize 15,687 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 I don't really hate her in the Show. But i really hate the fanons, with her being the victim and Celestia being the tyrant. Tyrantlestia is the stupidest headcanon (if you can call that) in the fandom. 6 My OC Mesme Rize: >https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/mesme-rize-r8777 Thank you Randimaxis for this Wonderful Avatar.

Prince Firemane 309 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 I honestly don't think she's being used enough in a conventional sense. Luna only appears when fans plots demand it. She has an episode dedicated to her, she's used to add to Celestia's cryptic remarks, or she plays a direct role in the plot. She's never put in the background like Celestia is. At this point, we know more about Cadance's political power than Luna's. She hardly ever makes conventional appearances. She could've easily had a background appearance at the latest Grand Galloping Gala, or at the city summit; but she wasn't. Fans like to assume that Luna doesn't like gatherings like that, but we don't know that for sure, she just disappears or doesn't appear at all with no explanation. Even if she doesn't like gatherings like that, she should be able to suck it up and deal with it like Celestia does so ponies have faith in their Princesses. In fact, the only conventional appearance I remember her having is Twilight's coronation, when she and Cadance were both present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sri Aegislash 21 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 Considering this character has had an episode in every season ever since the beginning when Celestia and Cadence do not have an episode. I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen Pathfinder 16,162 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 Does anyone relate to her real personality or just the fanon perception of her personality during Season 1? From my recollection it started with the fan view of her S1 self, but evolved once things like Luna Eclipsed and the Luna Micro Comic came about.

Nature's Spell 526 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 (edited) I like Luna a lot, she's interesting, but I too hate the way they make Celestia into a bad guy. I think Celestia's been pigeonholed as the calm and wise teacher/mother figure and the writers aren't sure how to show her differently or don't wish to. The only hole in the royal mask was fighting with Luna over the wedding gift. A perfect example of this (it happened to both sisters, but it stood out with Celestia especially) was when confronting Discord (finding the EOH) they looked and acted exactly as they do now. As if they were never younger or inexperienced. It was a huge missed opportunity to not show a young and inexperienced Celestia. Luna is just given more latitude to be directly involved in ponies lives and has that "bad girl" vibe people love. She can just be more flexible in a story. Whatever Luna's formal role is supposed to be the writers find it easier to inset Celestia.

LZRD WZRD 1,929 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 How is a character that shows up two or three times a season with only one starring role in an episode overused? You can barely even call her appearances an event, since she rarely does anything special. If anything she's underused, but you could say that about pretty much every character on the show except Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. Every other character is always being written wrong or isn't getting enough episodes according to some of the fans Check out my channel for awesome video reviews and analysis! https://www.youtube.com/c/LZRDWZRD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mint Pone 2,294 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 Na not at all. She really doesn't get that much screen time. Maybe if you compare it to Celestia and Cadence she is overused but really they are all underused. Also, i don't think screen time should have anything to do with how powerful a pone is XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastel 7,630 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 (edited) Nope, I think Luna is perfectly well used: not too much, not too little. There's nothing to change here, I think she has had enough episodes about her (the ones with the CMC were very good).

NotoriousSMALL 1,984 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 Honestly I think all the princesses should get more screen time. Which is why---wait, possible spoilers ahead sooo... *ahem* which is why I hoped that luna would be the star of next week's episode. But the synopsis says she just sends the mane 6 on the mission to deal with it themselves... =/ was really hoping for more luna VS. nightmare action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,303 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 FIM was never about the princesses. Yes, Twilight went all friendship princess, but she was originally a friendship shunning unicorn whose development we followed from the get-go. And Celestia got several drop-in moments in the first season (Fall Weather Friends, Swarm of the Century, A Bird in the Hoof, The Best Night Ever); not to mention every time we saw her penning or receiving a letter. Any screen time the not-Twilight princesses get (particularly at this point in the series) is more than I would have expected. If you're especially fond of this or that princess, this is surely a disappointment, but it shouldn't be a surprise. "It uses the faculty of what you call imagination.

Kayjin 15 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 Well, Luna was voted best princess on a video by The Brony Notion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Beam 1,179 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 (edited) It is clear that the tasks assigned to her, say the safekeeping of her and her sister's subject dreams or the watch over the night, are remarkably utilizable in many episodes, along with many characters. Thereof, considering that every pony in Equestria dreams, we can all agree that there's a higher possibility of any single individual to relate to her in a more personal, inner manner. She's not just their monarch like Celestia. Luna keeps them safe, she protects them in the only place where neither boldness nor strenght can. It's not only due to fandom reasons, albeit it is clear that she's very much appreciated among us. I mean, I have to say that in my opinion she's the best goddamn pony out there, but there's more than a handful of opinions below her current appearances.

Sazama Ichida 2,367 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 Excuse me? If anything she's UNDER used...All she does is just appear in dreams most of the time...What we really need is more screentime from her that actually involves character development. 1 The White Shinigami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider float 2,538 July 7, 2015 Share July 7, 2015 She made brief appearances on the CMC episodes but she only really had one episode that focused on her "Luna Eclipsed." Celestia or Luna never really gets a full episode of their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DND 2,355 July 7, 2015 Share July 7, 2015 Luna doesn't need to step down a notch, but Celestia needs to step up a notch with the writers though. I'd love an episode focused on Celestia for once. Maybe a Cadance episode? Cadance also needs more screentime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normano 3 July 7, 2015 Share July 7, 2015 I think every pony is underused. Can't get enough. Don't stop till you drop. All this free flowing animation you people have is really slowing my computer down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frecklesareblooming 225 July 7, 2015 Share July 7, 2015 Nope, not at all. While she may be extremely popular, the most I've seen of her is in dream sequences. I'm hoping for an episode about her and Celestia's childhood, though, to further character development and let us see behind the royal facade, which we only got a glimpse of in Slice of Life.
