>>218985 >Maybe they'll make some enjoyable stuff with it now that it's in place. But frankly the first half of the episode - everyone having their cutie marks switched and losing their sense of self - was a great idea and deserved to be an episode all to itself, not relegated to being a lead-in to boring scenes putting Twilight on a pedestal. That's not saying that there's something wrong with accomplishment, just that the whole segment where she became a Princess just didn't make for enjoyable viewing, and cut time away from what started out as one of the better premises of the season. This. I really enjoyed the first half, and it could stand as a good episode on its own, though there was still the matter of "WTF Celestia?!". If she simply said she didn't know what the spell was about, that would be enough, though. The second half was all about the celebration out of nowhere, and kinda left a bad taste.
>>219007 Pretty much. The whole trollestia thing was just overreaction for lols, nothing to take seriously.
>>219018 >Being tied to the monarchy makes her seem irresponsible for going on adventures instead of taking care of her empire. But if she stays in the palace it limits what she can do. Yup. As far as we've seen, she deciphered an apparently useless spell, which won her alicornhood, a castle and royal guard/servants, subjects, but... what for? I mean, Celestia and Luna raise the fucking DAY and NIGHT. They do a job that used to be done by unicorns to keep a sort of natural balance, and help keep pony territory safe. Heck, Luna even guards ponies' sleep while she's at it. Twi's got lots of work to earn that post.
