I guess I wasn't the only one to come up with the Griffon war idea, lol |

I think this is supposed to be Celestia and Luna's conversation immediately after Lune Eclipsed. She returns from Ponyville and Celestia asks her how it went. Luna then goes on to explain why everything was so unexpected for her. |

I wasn't trying to be mysterious or anything-- I just felt like there was a lot of backhanded worldbuilding in Luna's performance. She acts as one would if the world were an awfully rough place that needed loud, tough warrior gods.
And Ponyville is a quiet little town where the main hangout is a bakery. |

To be fair, the Mane Cast does handle city-leveling monsters like Ursa Minors, parasprite swarms, hydras and dragons on a semi-regular basis. And they did take on Luna after she presumably just wiped the floor with Celestia without hesitation.
Maybe modern-day ponies are just a lot tougher than the ones she grew up with? Love the art though. |

I don't think its a matter of ponies being any stronger or weaker, its about what ponies have to fear. Ponies in modern Equestria don't have many real things to be afraid of. That doesn't mean they're weak or strong, it just means that they can enjoy fright as a novelty. |

How can you dopes be confused by this, I hope for your sake you're under 15, that's the only excuse. |

The kind of leadership Luna would understand best would be something like a monarchic military hierarchy in which being a peasant meant being a soldier whenever Equestria demanded it. Lots of battles, which generally require lots of shouted orders. Equestria is now literally a much quieter place. The ponies are no less brave or intelligent, but for better or worse, they are not a population of seasoned soldiers. |

In my private FF I also use Griffons for a war ... and diamond dogs ... and zebras ... and goats ... |

The Griffon War.
To their credit, the ruler of Equestria at the time was a dick. |
