Talk:Princess Celestia/@comment-7345250-20131114000627

I'll just say a few things and be off.


 * Princess Celestia is not an inherently disliked character. Instead, she just tends to be the subject of a large variety of jokes and complaints; e.g. Trollestia. (If you think Celestia is hated, you might want to review the results of Hurt\Heal.)


 * Secondly, whether or not Celestia dies, she will likely be removed from the throne at some point. Otherwise, Twilight's ascension to Alicornhood is almost completely meaningless, since she will always be a student.


 * Death is not something that pleases children, but it is often necessary in order to advance the story. Half of Disney's animated films involve death of some sort, and the Hunchback even has a death within the first five minutes. Furthermore, any child that has seen Star Wars or Harry Potter is well-acquainted with this device already.  However, a character that has been around as long as Celestia is unlikely to be killed off without proper cause.

Now I implore you to voice your agreement, disagreement, apathy, or whatever else you are feeling, but try to remain polite if not respectful. Name-calling and sarcasm are seldom appreciated in debates such as these...
