Kivil 1,721 September 3, 2015 Share September 3, 2015 Indeed she doesn't do much, but she is what formed Twilight, in which formed MLP. I like her so nah, I wouldn't take her out. ~My life is a bunch of Discord~Yes, the pun was intended~Kivil~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swifty 249 September 3, 2015 Share September 3, 2015 Oh, my post was deleted. Have i been too rude with stating the obvious? Well, the only things i have to say about this: No, Celestia shouldn't be written out. Edited to avoid unnecessary conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number62 1,258 September 3, 2015 Share September 3, 2015 Celestia is not a main character, so it's understandable that she is in the background most of the time. That's the only places she's ever been in. The CMC aren't main characters either, but they are still given something to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bright Honor 2,705 September 4, 2015 Share September 4, 2015 (edited) would you care to give an example of what kind of role that might be, in your head, that you want to see her play in the show? you forget that Luna was there helping her vanquish the baddies like Tirek and Discord, until becoming bad, herself. But the thing is, luna has-like the mane7, been given backstory and development since episode 1, and while both sistrs had roles to play in helping to lead Twilight or the CMC, It seems Sunbutt, who's role it was to only lead Twilight, is over, while Luna's role is able to coninu, due to her not limiting herself to one pony, and her abilities allowing her to help with the dreams and subconsious issues of the CMC, Mane 7, and their friends, especially with her being more hands on than her sister. Getting back to Sunbutt, aside from defeating NMM, when have we really seen her successfully defending her kingdom and the ponies she's supposed to protect? She's either done it with Luna, sent the mane 7 to do it, or failed when trying to go it alone (by all right, the mane 7 should be the rulers, if SOMEONE cant be arsed to defend her own subjects anymore) Well I've always been for a royal sisters episode. I want to see the true her. I want to see her when she's not giving mission or dealing with country-running stuff. I want her to be more active. She's been almost completely nonexistent in the current season. Edited September 4, 2015 by Bright Honor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To quote myself from another thread, I think her importance in the overall show has been highlighted by the latest episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlikeable Pony 2,698 September 4, 2015 Share September 4, 2015 A big problem IMO is that the show staff seem to not want to push celestia as a teacher IN GENERAL instead of just "Twilight's teacher". Specifically, in the comics they're able to do a good number of plotlines focusing on celestia due to her being treated as grooming NOT just twilight but everyone she comes in contact with to be a better individual and to learn and grow. Similarly in Season 1 you got that feel that she had a vested interest in seeing ALL of the mane six learn and grow as well as she'd show up in lots of episodes and interact with the mane six. However, since then they've tried to avoid having her take on that role in regards to anyone or anypony BUT twilight, and then cut loose that role to boot, which leaves her in limbo. They need to take a page from the comic staff and do an episode akin to her and spike's issue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManaMinori 4,145 September 5, 2015 Author Share September 5, 2015 You act like this is damaging the show badly, eventhough it dosen't hurt the show at all.I don't think I am. But it does throw a wrench in the show's continuity, I think. I mean, why spend so long building up to Twi learning all these lessons and discovering friendshp magic as its own kind of magic, and becoming a princess, if Sunbutt wasn't planning on going anywhere?

Maybe because she isn't a main character. It's about the growth and the bonding of the mane 6 and not about the Princesses. 1 My OC Mesme Rize: >https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/mesme-rize-r8777 Thank you Randimaxis for this Wonderful Avatar.

TerribilisScriptor 107 September 28, 2015 Share September 28, 2015 Reading the reflections ark and thinking about the fact that celestia could handel celebrating the banishing of luna for 1000 yaers without breaking is remarkable. The fact she met and lost a second luna AND her lover... That makes velesta a well flashedout character. Naybe even mire interresting than luna.

Kenshiro 13,493 September 28, 2015 Share September 28, 2015 Celestia needed to assure the balance between worlds.Maybe a lot of people dont like her but she needed inspire to equestria.Unlooked-for thing is that twilight transformed into an alicorn.İf twilight hasnt transformed, a lot of controversy about celestia wouldn t be exist personally.İ think its scriptwriters fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,803 September 28, 2015 Share September 28, 2015 Nah. Celestia still plays a very important role to the entire canon of FiM. Even if she does not have much in the way of screentime now, her importance to the overall story is still there and always will be. Honestly, I am glad that they are doing this with her now, keeping you out of the limelight for a bit, since for two whole seasons the ponies were obsessed with her and whatnot and I am glad that they are not going crazy anytime she appears. No character needs to be written out, maybe just improved. I want to see more Celestia and Luna sisterly interactions. I think that has a ton of funny potential.

melody5697 195 September 28, 2015 Share September 28, 2015 No. Celestia is important. Don't forget she might be VERY important in the season finale. And I think there should be an episode that explains why Celestia's, Luna's, and Twilight's cutie marks are on the Tree of Harmony, and obviously Celestia would have to be in that. Oh, and who the hell are the "Mane 7"? I thought it was a typo at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirox the pony 1,336 September 29, 2015 Share September 29, 2015 Well honestly no as I think they could do more with her. Like maybe have an episode where she fights with Twilight. No matter how hard I try these ponies will simply never leave me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnknownFry 169 October 1, 2015 Share October 1, 2015 No, and I don't see the point in doing so at this point either. There is too much value from a merchandising perspective to get rid of her, and there is too much potential to scrap her away from a narrative perspective as well, and the secondary works have done some great things with the character. Oh, and who the hell are the "Mane 7"? I thought it was a typo at first. Some people try to include Spike as well which accounts for the seventh.

Grtxkkyz 388 October 2, 2015 Share October 2, 2015 Of course no. She may be a secondary character, but her role has an important impact upon the setting and is the big good of the cartoon. Plus, most aspects regarding her are currently unexplored, which makes up for interesting storylines and possible concept.
