Description
It greatly irks me how Celestia has almost as many haters as she has fans whereas Luna has many fans and little to no haters. Now, I by no means hate Luna, I just like Celestia far more. When Luna became evil, due to jealousy and bitterness she could've refused to give into and tried to cover Equestria with eternal night that would've spelled certain doom for the ponies, Celestia ruled all by herself for the thousand years that followed, bringing both the night and day, keeping her chin up for the sake of her subjects, etc. Also, Celestia is Twilight's mentor, even a mother figure, the one who reads the lessons learned by Twilight and her friends. She clearly deserves more love than she has.Related content

This comment was pretty old. I've grown to like her now, though she's still my least favourite princess.

I like Tia more and why do bronies freak out about her being pink in the toys when she IS pink just a pink that is only a 1 or 2 shades from white but she is pink nonetheless.

They want Celestia to be manly, and not pink, apparently.
I seriously don't know, actually.

Which is hilarious because pink was originally a manly colour.

I like em both, but I think Celestia is better, mostly just because I like the day most. I'm also real sick of this Molestia shit. Whenen=ver I see Molestia, I roll my eyes and sigh. Either way, I like them both, and that's all there is to it

I love them both. I make no difference on that.

I don't "Hate" Celestia, but she is not a "favorite" of mine. I like Luna more, she's my fav. Because I always love the night and the moon and she is has my favorite colors as well as being the pony of the "night" thats why i like her.
I don't care if anyone likes Celestia more or not, same with Luna. We all like what we like, right? And no one can change that.~

I know your comment is like MOOOOONTHS old xD (and posted a day after my birthday BD)
But I wanted to reply. ; 3 ;
Whereas I agree with you with "We all like what we like".
But I mainly wanted to comment on your reasoning for liking Luna.
Well, I can't say she has my fave colors, as my fave colors are black, purple, red, and white. xD
But I love the night, moon, space, and stars.
I have all my life.
Know the anime "Sailor Moon"? If so, then meet an obsessed fan! BD
I know all the signs of the planets, I keep up with comets, asteroids, eclipses, etc, etc.
I explain how space "works" to others that don't understand or know. (like my mother-in-law)
I've even had people mistake my OC as Luna.
So I totally get where you're coming from!
But
I dislike Luna.
While she might've been my fave, the fandom has ruined her for me.
She's like a watered-down character of what she could've been.
Now Celestia isn't on my top faves, (though she's my fave Princess, and that's only counting Her, Luna, and Cadence)
I just hate how the fandom treats Celestia. I don't care if they don't "like her", but there is a difference between not liking a character and belittling a character. They go out of the way to make Celestia look bad, instead of just "not caring" about her.
But yeah xD
You're so welcome to ignore this comment. xD
Just wanted to get it out of my system though! ; 3 ;

Now its my turn to say "sorry for late reply" cause this is a old message and I have like many more to read sents I hadn't been on here for many months XP
but ya mehh I don't care if you hate Luna or anything, i will say I hate how the fandom is with Celestia sents its like shes in her sisters shadow and much more, I have a friend that sometimes thinks that every time I bring up anything moon or night like it means I'm talking about Luna when he hates her as well and is a big fan of Celestia so to me, there are other moon things I like besides Luna, + its getting a little annoying how I feel like some people will think i'm talking about Luna when i'm just being a little fan-girl of the night, i'm with you with the moon, stars, night, and everything. I don't know as much as what you may do but I just love the beauty of the night sky its lights up my whole world when I seee a nice dark sky. And yes I know Sailor Moon, I only saw the first ep and is on my "I need to get done watching anime list with many many more" but yes I do know what it is~ =3 hehh I'm a fan of the opening song after all, its in my favorites on YouTube~ X3 but ya i'm not mad at ya or anything so i'm not ignoring you, your just saying how you feel which many of us feel with other characters from other animes, shows, video games and more. For me its Kyurem from Pokemon for many reasons that will make this comment go on for ever so short story short
(If ya don't know Pokemon then you won't understand this part most likely, and just like you with Sailor Moon, i'm a big Pokemon fan)
1. Snapping Keldeo's horn in the movie (#IBeenABIGKeldeoFanSentsTheDayBlackAndWhiteCameOutInJapanAndEvenBeforeAnyoneKnewMuchAboutHim but to me it was love at first sight when I first saw Keldeo and is sill my 4th favorite Pokemon and 2nd favorite Pokemon to this day)
2. Murdering Hydreigon in Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity and then coming after you soon after and trys to murder you until your friend steps in
3. in B2&W2 When Kyurems show's his 'true' wings witch looks like needles (which i'm scare of) and because I play W2 it went aftyer Reshiram (another Pokemon I'm a big fan of) and ya
I always want'id a ice dragon Pokemon...and I got my wish...but wasn't at all like I want'id ;-;
So ya I understand ya, we all have some Characters we just hate and it doesn't bug me that you hate Luna as long as it doesn't bug ya that I like Luna~
....sorry for long comment by the way lol~

I like both of them but Princess Celestia is better in my opinion
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You are correct
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Agree.
1. Celestia imprisoned Luna on the moon.
No, she imprisoned Nightmare Moon in (not on, in) the moon. Luna wasn't Luna anymore. It states at the beginning that she tried to reason with her sister, and reluctantly defeated her to send her to the moon. What was she supposed to do, let eternal night rain down upon Equestria all for a selfish desire? It would cause utter chaos! Plants require sunlight to grow, meaning crops would fail and the ponies would starve. Plus, vital vitamins many animals bodies need to function properly are obtained from sunlight, and wildlife would suffer terribly. She had two choices:
1. Trap your sister inside the moon for 1000 years
2. Kill all of your subjects, and turn Equestria into a waste land where almost nothing can survive.
She picked the sensible one. Seeing as she is princess, its up to her to protect her subjects. It must've taken a lot of mental strength as well as physical strength to send her sister inside the moon.
2. She turned discord into stone.
Discord is a VILLAIN! Whats she supposed to do, let him cause chaos and make all of the ponies in Equestria live a life of fear and terror? She stood up against discord, and fought for what was right. Seeing as discord can teleport, it would be useless to trap him in a certain place. So she had to turn him to stone. Oh and by the way guys, Luna also helped, but I don't see anyone complaining about her!
3. Why did she put his statue in the gardens? Does that mean the other statues are ponies shes turned to stone?
This, I am not completely sure. She probably wanted some where she could easily keep an eye on him, but at the same time she might have been unsure whether he could still hear or see as a statue, so she put him out there. That way at least he wouldn't be as bored if he could hear/see. And I highly doubt the statue of the pony with the flag is a terrorized subject, other wise it wouldn't have been smiling. And Luna has to be present for Celestia to turn someone to stone, so she would also be a tyrant. You wouldn't exactly take a school trip to a place where tones of innocent ponies are trapped in stone. Besides, she could have easily smashed or burned Discords statue.
4. Why didn't she try to stop NNM/Discord?
Because seeing as she was no longer connected to the elements, she knew it would be useless. And she couldn't reconnect to them because she needed Luna to do that, only Luna had been turned into who she was fighting against. As for Discord, she did help by sending those letters to Twilight. If she hadn't, all of the mane six would've stayed discorded and Discord would've won.
5. But by sending those letters she gave Spike a really bad stomach ache!
And if she hadn't sent those letters, Discord would've won, the Mane Six would've been Discorded and all of Equestria would have been thrown into utter chaos forever. Giving Spike a stomach ache was a small sacrifice for Equestria's salvation.
6. Chrysalis defeated her so easily, what a weakling!
So one minute your saying "Ugh Celestia is overly powerful bawww!" The next "How pathetic!" Guys, its plain wrong to hate someone because their weaker than someone else. The reason Celestia was defeated was because Cadence and Shining Armors love for each other that it was strong enough even to defeat Celestia. I thought it was a great metaphor. You could clearly see how worried the Changeling queen was when Celestia launched her attack. And at least Celestia stood up for her subjects! She was the only pony in the room that attempted to stop her.
7. But what about when she trolled the Cakes with that horrible tea prank!?
No, she simply pulled a harmless prank to lighten the mood. She could see everyone was stressed so she tried to calm them down. And she probably wanted to show them she'd rather be treated like a friend than a princess everyone has to bow down to, and playing the tea prank is a great way. It shows them that she enjoys having fun to. When other ponies have pulled pranks on her (Loads of letters arriving at her home, the invisible ink) shes just laughed. And when Pinkie pie sat on the table, and began eating Celestia's cakes, Celestia just laughed. She also didn't get really angry when the CMC wrote that embarrassing news column about her.
8. She made Fluttershy cry by leaving Philomena so Fluttershy would take her!
Celestia probably assumed that Fluttershy would already know what a phoenix was, seeing as she likes animals so much, and that if she didn't know what a phoenix was then she'd just ask. If Celestia left Philomena to upset Fluttershy, then why did she send her guards to look for her pet? Plus, she didn't get mad at the end when she found out Fluttershy stole her bird, she simply made Philomena apologize for stalling instead of coming straight out of the ashes.
9. She forced Luna not to come to the tea party?
That is clearly pure assumption. The most likely reason Luna didn't attend the tea party was that she was asleep, most likely being nocturnal so she can control the night. Maybe she didn't attend because she still wasn't used to the modern way of thinking, or she needed to attend to other royal business.
10. Her favorite season is autumn, a season where everything dies! Therefore she must be evil!
Yes, someone was stupid enough to say that. First of all, barley anything dies in autumn, a lot of things just hibernate instead. Its a favorite season guys, get over yourselves.
11. But Celestia trolled Twilight be sending her only 2 tickets when she knows Twilight has 5 friends.
That was probably just an honest mistake. Celestia probably thought Twilight knew the Gala wasn't that good anyway, so she sent 2 thinking Twilight would give the other one away out of just generosity. Plus, you wouldn't expect characters like Rainbow Dash or Applejack to want to go the Gala. Perhaps Celestia thought Twilight would simply take Spike. If it wasn't a mistake, then perhaps it was a test, and the reward was all the extra tickets. After all, seeing as the Elements of Harmony are the only thing that can defeat many villains, Celestia has to make sure Twilight and her friends learn as much as possible about friendship. Or, maybe she simply thought Twilight would ask for extra tickets if she needed them.
12. Celestia didn't even apologize to Twilight at the end of A Canterlot Wedding
Yes, but instead she congratulated Twilight for trusting her instincts and doing what she felt was right. Shining Armor gave Twilight an even worse time, and he didn't even say anything to her! But do I see anyone saying anything about that?
13. But why did she just sit back and watch when Rarity was falling?
Every single pony apart from the Wonderbolts didn't do anything to help! Twilight could've used her magic, and Fluttershy could've tried to catch Rarity, along with all the other Pegasi who were watching. Rainbow Dash wouldn't have performed the Rainboom if she had stepped in, so it wouldn't have really been Rainbow Dash's episode would it? Also, Celestia is pretty wise and probably knew RD could save them.
14. She let Luna get mistreated in Ponyville on Nightmare Night!
Oh I see, so when Luna doesn't go some place its bad and when she does its also bad. SERIOUSLY? She can't just leave Luna trapped in the castle! Maybe Luna didn't even tell her. I don't see you guys getting annoyed at Pinkie who kept screwing her over each time she finally began to get the hang of behaving in the modern way.

Amen to everything you've pointed out! :3 ... By the way, about the gala ticket, even though during the end of t he said, "And one for you too Spike" I think the reason Celestia only gave two tickets is because she probably assumed Twilight would give the second ticket to Spike.

Celestia has my favorite colors and design and Luna has my favorite voice and personality.I just like that independent personality and coolness in her voice :3

Celestia is better 8) Luna annoyed me in the Luna Eclipsed episode ono
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OMG I'M NOT ALONE!
-hugs you tight-
FINALLY!
I nearly hated Luna Eclipsed, should have done something else to show us Princess Luna's personality, in fact, they should have gave her a GOOD personality! Her voice is so annoying! I hated it as a little girl watching Canterlot Royal Wedding Part 2, where's lazy old Princess Luna?! It's said she's been sleeping so I pictured her yelling at the changeling for sleep and not caring, Trolluna is born now.

what about cadence and twilight?

I don't like Cadence and I don't like Twilight's ascension.

I like Luna a little bit more, but Celestia is still a great character. I feel pretty bad for saying that she was useless before.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I like them equally but I can see why Luna is liked more by the fans
Celestia doesn't have much character development, at least not as in-depth as Luna
She's seen as this big strong powerful god[dess]
Whereas Luna is portrayed more like a regular pony, socially awkward, misunderstood, loner which a lot of us [or at least I] can relate to
[And also Lunatics cannot get it through their thick skulls that Celestia banishing Luna was not an act of tyranny, if she didn't do so
then all the population of Equestria would probably be dead]

well i like them both^^ I think too the reason why luna have so much fans thats she is not shown as "perfect" as celestia.

I'm a Luna fan, but all the hate towards Celestia makes no sense to me. That's why I made this stamp:

I agree with addy12345 .That's why so many people hate Tia.I think she's perfectly fine.There's nothing wrong with Luna either,I actually like her more than Tia,but I still love Tia.
