Is Thorax too timid to be a leader?

Don't get me wrong, I've no doubt Thorax will be a great king, but as far back as his introductory episode, Thorax has been shown to be about as timid as Fluttershy at times.

Spoiler

If Twilight's theoretical fantasy/theoretical simulation is true indication of Thorax as a leader, then yeah I would agree he seems to timid to be a leader.

Granted, that was only Twilight's simulation and not a reflection of what Thorax can do.

Although if Twilight was right though, I wouldn't be the type to be really excited about his new accession but I'd also be the type to be somewhat forgiving and just follow along if things are already going well.

But who knows, we haven't seen the real Thorax perform yet, he might turn out well.

This. We haven't seen him in a true pressure situation, which may reveal his true capabilities as a leader.

Timid: "showing a lack of courage or confidence; easily frightened."

remember the end of last season?
when the chips were down, he has the courage and confidence that he needed.

also, he seems like a consensus builder.  which is a better quality than blind confidence or ordering others around.

Indeed; when push came to shove he went straight up to Chrysalis disguised as Starlight and faced her. And before that he had no trouble leading all his former compatriots on a wild goose chase disguised as Trixie. He may be humble, but he's not timid.

You just nailed it. That last part particularly. I do think that his quiet unassuming nature could make some underestimate him, and I do think he will have some struggles adjusting here and there, but I'm not about to call him too timid to lead either. 

It would make for a great episode though!

I want an episode about this. It'd make for some great development for Thorax. 

Spike could try to help him, but he doesn't know what to do, so he brings in Ember to give him advice on how to be a ruler.
