Will Celestia Get Her Own Episode?

[pony.colin 156]

I .... no way, have we really shafted her to secondary support character?   If so, maybe an episode on Celestia would actually be a real nice change of pace.  Granted, they have to write her well for a good episode (cause there is actually probably a lot of room to explore with Celestia as a character for once, actually flesh her out more since we only have basic detail with her).  I'm totally not sure if that's feasible if they can't pull it off with just Spike and his status in the show.   But hey, would be welcoming to see an episode with her as main focus.

I suppose I'd rather have seen a Celestia episode during Season 1 or 2 not have her become neglected with the writing of today.

At this point background ponies have had more focus than her. She might as well be a background pony.

People who are saying that Celestia is past time getting an episode, isn't it only this season that were are seeing secondary characters getting episodes? Luna and Discord got before but they were not the main characters in those episodes (Twilight and Fluttershy were), they were not seen for a long time before their episode so it was kind of making up for lost time and they were about a former villain who neened a episode to change. Celestia did not need this kind of episode.

 

So she did not get episode in season 5 unlike Discord, Luna, and Big Mac but let's face it, Discord and Luna's episodes are easier to write due to their backstory and conflicts and it was nice to have a long time male supporting character like Big Mac to get and episode where he finally got a proper depth he never had before.

 

Celestia should have gotten more supporting appearences, this is completely true, but it is a different issue to me than getting a lead episode. If she gets one in season 6 it is not too late at all (I really hope they keep givin supporting characters lead episodes).

 

Then with Celestia there is the issue that her chacarcter is the "High Queen" and "Mentor" tropes both so those are always a bit limiting. Now that she is not Twilight's mentor the same way as before and we are more used for princesses a Celestia episode is more natural.

 

However I still feel that she would work best as a go-lead than a lead. It is partially because of the tropes she has and partially because her voice actress does not really provide her with that much depth.

 

So I would suggest a go-lead in several episodes instead of the main lead. I would say sharing an episode with Discord, Luna, Twilight or all the princesses would work (not all of these of course but more than one). And then there could be a season opener/finale where she fixes things like a literal deus ex machina, people usually hate those but Celestia fixing things would work well in-universe.

I would love to see the misadventures of Celestia. I think it could be a lot of fun.
