Visiden Whines It: Every Little Thing She Does · 2:39am Sep 25th, 2016
In this episode we learn the difference between a charm spell and a dominate spell. Thanks MLP, I could use the brushing up with my Enchantment School magic. Maybe you can discuss figments and glamers for the next one? Or how about a summon and a calling?
I'm beginning to sort of like Starlight Glimmer. She seems to have this natural tendency to steamroll freewill to get her results; an interesting flaw that I thought Twilight had before it got scrubbed. We see this with her interaction with Big Mac, and now this. I wish it came more from her desire to do things her way as opposed to the overwhelming need to impress teacher, which was more Twilight's thing, but I'm happy to take what I can get.
This episode adds more to my growing suspicion that Starlight is turning into Twilight, and Twilight is turning into Princess Celestia. It's uncannily similar to Lesson Zero with a small cast change.
This just pushes Celestia to further irrelevance, doesn't it? At least Transformers gave Optimus the dignity of being shot full of holes before attempting to replace him with Rodimus Prime. Come on Hasbro, or DHX, or whoever's managing the storyline. How about we just kill Celestia? We can have a fancy two-parter, then do what The Death of Superman did and sell some special black armbands with a red sun cutie mark on them. Or go crazy like some Japanese did when they held an actual funeral for Raoh.
At this point, even asking for more than a bit role for Celestia in like, the upcoming movie that will end the whole series is probably too much.
She'll probably show up somewhere in the background standing on a new play set.
Alicorns just go into a "healing coma" when mortally wounded. Still it makes me wonder how many Celestia wannabes would rise up to take on the mantle?
But hey its not like they will eventually turn Starlight Glimmer into an Alicorn...Right guys?
