When Celestia yells TWILIGHT SPARKLE
Her soothing and loving voice being so abruptly angry out of nowhere makes me scared ;-; I get that "oh no oh no what did I do wrong oh god" feeling. Even though I am not twilight! |

Yeah, Celestia has been pretty huffy this season. |

Good god... she hasn't been huffy. If you think about it:
Somepony was causing trouble to her citizens. It doesn't matter whether or not it was Twilight or some other pony, but as her "job" as the ruler of Equestria, she had to step in and help her people. I think she actually went easy on them, for if I was the ruler and saw my people being "harmed" by a pony, I would've punished them. Just think about it guys, sheesh. |

Not to mention that the other two episodes of this season consisted of an insane entity of greater power being released from his bindings to wreak havoc on her country and people. I think that entitles her to a bit of huffiness. |

The insane entity she put on display on her garden for little fillies to awaken? |

When it got to this scene, I was like, "Ah, shit. Somebody's gonna be GLUE." |

I think she was more like a school principle here than an angry ruler. It was suitable for the situation. |

Fuzzy Logic said: I know, right? It's like when your parent calls you by your full name (oftentimes by yelling). 'Cause that's when you know you're REALLY in trouble. |

^Even if someone calls you by the wrong middle name, it is very powerful. |

When she yelled out "TWILIGHT SPARKLE" the very first thought that went through my head was "Oh shit, mom's pissed, take cover." followed immediately by "There is no safe haven, you're doomed." |

AJ's reaction in that scene pretty much covered my feelings - even she thought they were fucked |

Well, Twilight's fears weren't completely misplaced. Celestia really can be f-ing scary! |

^What they said. #570833 ...This again? Seriously? Celestia explained IN CANON it was because the Elements weren't bonded to Celestia and Luna anymore. Even if the CMC had "triggered" Discord's release, it probably would have happened eventually, no matter where the statue was placed. |

^ Not to mention that nothing is really made of the CMC's fighting. It's a brief scene in the opening of the two-parter and that's about it. It's probably better foreshadowing about how a close group of friends were going to be incited into fighting each other due to disharmony (with Discord acting as something of a visual clue, because, admittedly, the scene's set up AS IF he were manipulating them). But no one wonders about "who" set Discord free, neither are the CMC punished or redeemed for their alleged actions - they're never even seen again. It doesn't really make storytelling sense to put them to blame for Discord's escape and not mention them again, even if they were karma houdinis, and if they were truly to blame, then that was conveyed very poorly. |
