The reason why he corrupted the Mane Six is because if they were corrupted, they couldn't use the Elements of Harmony against him, and therefore he wins. He's clearly more powerful than Celestia. He once ruled Equestria and caused chaos and discord across the land before Celestia and Luna defeated him with the Elements of Harmony.

If you think about it, he didn't go straight for Celestia because he wanted to mess with Celestia. It's also possible that he went after Celestia off-screen and turned her into a statue or something.

He wanted to control Equestria because he wanted to take it back as he already ruled it in the past. He wanted revenge against Celestia and Equestria because HE ruled the land, and you'll be darn sure he wants it back.

Any questions?
