Celestia is not a good monarch because she always sends Twilight Sparkle to solve problems while she herself stays in Canterlot. For example, when King Sombra returned, she sent Twilight Sparkle and her friends to deal with the situation, gambling the safety of the Crystal Empire on these six ponies. Even if it was to train Twilight Sparkle, she shouldn't have placed the risk of national subjugation on them. Especially when Tirek returned, she gave all her magic to Twilight Sparkle instead of solving the problem herself. Although Twilight Sparkle and her friends have solved the problems every time, if I were the monarch, I would choose a better way to train them.Do you agree with me?And it's own Opinion.

 

 

No offense intended, this is just my personal opinion. Thank you all!

I think if Princess Celestia could have solved the problem herself in episode Twilight's Kingdom, she would have done so, but Twilight Sparkle was intended to be her successor, her protege in her own words, Twilight Sparkle had a unique gift in magic that almost no other pony in Equestria had, and while there were other powerful magic users, few came close to Twilight's power, and Starlight Glimmer's case was a unique one on its own, as far as we can tell, she was the only pony who actually surpassed Twilight Sparkle in magical power, Cozy Glow could only achieve that with a magical artifact, without that Cozy Glow's power and skill was no match for Twilight's.

It wasn't so much a gamble more than calculated risk, people seem to underestimate Princess Celestia a lot but I doubt most of them could have done a better job in her situation. A lot of people are of the mindset of shoot first ask questions later, and escalating a situation instead of looking for solutions that don't put other's at risk for the sake of bravado, I wouldn't trust a lot of people in the real world to be in Celestia's place.

MrEnter's review covers this topic in detail.

Clearly in a battle you want to send your most strategic personnel into the fight, because brute strength alone is not enough. If Twilight Sparkle had not have negotiated with Tirek midway through the fight, it would not have been possible to rescue her friends from that hostage situation, I'm going to have to disagree with people who claim otherwise, because the evidence from that episode does not show it. MrEnter is not the only person who has agreed with this opinion I have about Twilight's Kingdom episode from season 4 finale, by the way, you can also find other commenters on Youtube who have done.

After several days of reflection, your explanation, and last night's dream, I've finally had an epiphany. Thank you so much!

It's not your fault sometimes things are counterintuitive, this is especially true for psychological warfare.
