Re: My Little Pony: The Movie: The Spoiler Thread
It wouldn't take much to redeem them either. Just have a villain who summons a bunch of golems to attack Equestria, have the minions to powerful to be be stopped by the mane six, then have Celestia and Luna swoop in and start blasting them to pieces and throwing them around with Luna commenting "I can move the moon, do you think I can't handle a few rock monsters?" Boom! Celestia and Luna are powerful again! All while the mane six takes care of the villain.
They shot themselves in the foot story telling wise by making Twilight a princess. While Alicorn Twilight is noticeably stronger then Unicorn Twilight, she isn't massively stronger then before. She has stronger magic and can fly, but still have about the same levels of strength, endurance and stamina. They can't make her much more stronger then average or otherwise she wouldn't need to rely on her friends as much and could just magic blast every bad guy she came across.
So they are kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place in terms of making the princesses seem powerful. They never showed Celestia to be that powerful and they can't make Twilight be that powerful. Maybe Twilight is still to young and Celestia is to old and you need to be in your prime to fully master it's power?


If I had a bit for every time you made me feel worthless, I'd be worth something by now.
