Season 5 finale was an exception since it showed Celestia in several alternate futures: Leading the war against Sombra, banished to the moon by Nightmare Moon as the moon sported her mane colors alongside the Mare In The Moon craters, and being reduced alongside Luna into being Discord personal clowns to torture for eternity.

Anything like the Plunder Vines or Lord Tirek I can accept since Celestia was seen being caught by surprise by the Plunder Vines as we heard her gasp and scream, and Lord Tirek sent her alongside Luna and Cadance to Tartarus as cruel revenge for his own imprisonment by her and Luna, along with ensuring they could not maintain hope in everyone and threaten his claim to the throne, even without their Alicorn magic.

But seeing Celestia in a cocoon twice now, first time after being bested in a one-on-one fight with Chrysalis and knocked unconscious, second time without any reason as to how she was kidnapped and cocooned to begin with, just doesn't work for me, and lazy writing, combined with Nicole barely getting to record any dialogue for her as well, especially in a two-part episode, ruins any episode for me that has her in it, alongside any of the other members of the Royal Family.

Let's hope the Season 7 premiere makes up for it and puts her back into a better role like she had back in The Crystalling.
