heavens-champion 1,905 November 24, 2018 Share November 24, 2018 (edited) Have you noticed that Celestia and Luna have appeared in fewer episodes over the seasons? Edit: Changed the title to 'Celestia and Luna getting fewer appearances', to make it more specific.

Literatel 144 November 24, 2018 Share November 24, 2018 And that the Mane 6 are getting slightly fewer appearances (but Starlight's popularity and screen time is increasing, as is the Friendship School)? Kinda, yeah. Maybe, in relation to the Princesses, that they have already been completely established and now they are just "kinda there"? Literatel literally just wrote some literature, as always.

But in Season 8, most of the main characters actually got more of those than in Season 7. According to statistics, I think only Starlight and Pinkie decreased.

I suppose the Princesses are just meant to... exist at this point, I'm guessing. Literatel literally just wrote some literature, as always.

BastementSparkle 20,328 November 24, 2018 Share November 24, 2018 Despite supposedly appearing less, between Celestial Advice, A Royal Problem, and Horse Play, Celestia has gotten more focus and development than ever. Frankly, I'm okay with the Princesses appearing less if they get some good stuff when they do appear. 1 Twilight is best pony. Why hello MLPForums! What have ya been up to?

Kadeda 178 November 27, 2018 Share November 27, 2018 I think the only people getting less screen time are Pinky and Fluttershy. The princess have actually gotten more since like... the first or second season. Season 7 and 8 have an actual episode about them. I think Cadance could have an episode with Twilight or something again... without discord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicEnergy 23,224 November 27, 2018 Share November 27, 2018 (edited) In season 8 Celestia got an episode all to herself and was the main character of it, something that has never happened before in any of the previous seasons. If that isn't enough, then look at season 7 episode 1, which is another episode she gets a lot of screen time in. As for Luna, she appeared in one episode in season 7 as a main character along with her sister. Princess Twilight, well, it's obvious that she has gotten plenty of appearances already in season 7 and season 8. And as for Cadence, she was a main character in two episodes of season 7 and appeared in the season 8 premiere. So yeah, I'm confident the princesses are getting their fair of screen time, no need to worry about them fading out of the picture.

Thrond 3,263 November 30, 2018 Share November 30, 2018 I think it has to do with a shift in focus. Between the Cutie Map, the increased focus on the mane six's careers, and Starlight not having much to do with the princesses, they're just not as relevant to the stories being told. And then the school didn't have too much of a place for them, so honestly, the fact that Celestia got a focus episode at all in season 8 should count for something.

Midnight Solace 5,132 December 1, 2018 Share December 1, 2018 The show has new characters, and I think Hasbro wants to build up their backstory, so they can sell more toys. That's why there are less appearances for the Mane 6 and other characters we love, and more for Starlight and Student 6. 1 ~Twilight x Midnight~ Ask Midnight I'm not a bad pony...

Not the Mane 6, because in actually, the Mane 6 have gotten plenty of appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sondash Studios 4,853 December 1, 2018 Share December 1, 2018 Well, I guess they are getting fewer appearance, but if they stop showing Rainbow Dash that often, I'm gonna have a talk with the directors.

The Nth Doctor 663 December 1, 2018 Share December 1, 2018 Sure would be nice if they stopped character assassinating the Mane 6 and let other characters develop, like Starlight, Trixie, Luna, Celestia, Applejack, and the CMC SURE WOULD BE NICE "I love deadlines.

Everyone needs more individual focus and we don't have enough episodes left for them all, which is a shame. Maybe Gen V will fix that. Haha, who am I kidding... "I love deadlines.
