Who would actually be the most mighty if the scenarios were orchestrated realistically; practically? Likewise the characters will be more realistic and consistent too. How do I put this, not off character but more on character. What would MLP:FiM look like if the writing for it was better. If the chronology of the episodes was consistent. If the characters did not make obvious logical fallacies that we know they wouldn't make.(Unless they were utterly daft.) Any ideas of how this would change the show from what it is? This threat is meant to discuss how events would differ in mlp if reasoning was more readily applied.

Celestia would not be a Worf with hooves but would genuinely be a physical goddess. She would just choose not to fight because she is busy with ruling the kingdom and to test her acolytes.

Twilight would be only one of several personal students under Celestia and so would be under stress to prove herself. Becoming princess would be a grueling process achieved only towards the end of the series, after real sacrifices and after Twilight learned what it takes to be a ruler.

O boy! My first (and only) comment. Yeah I know I forgot to put the question marks where they would have been. But is my threat really that bad?

>Celestia would not be a Worf with hooves but would genuinely be a physical goddess.

I would agree, if the case was that she controlled the sun's course as the show states. However I find it hard to believe that she literally raises and sets the sun. I know a tall tale when I see one, and the community's interpretation of Celestia as a sly trickster buttresses my claim (so does the fact that she got defeated by a "bug"). She could be one big charlatan who saw a opportunity long ago, took it and now has a religious following and enjoys a regal lifestyle. Would you like to know who I think would be the most mighty; not be able to be bested?
>Na
Queen Chrysalis.
>We said NO.
In fact I bet the writers realised that there is no way that Chrysalis would've lost, so they had her made mentally deficient. Here I'll highlight some of her abilities:
>Long sharp canines to cause maximum damage when biting one's foe.
>Irregularly shaped horn good for catch foe's horn while still being effective at impaling.
>Bug like wing allow her kind to fly faster & swifter than a Pegasi or maybe even a Pegacorn.
>Supposed; high pain tolerance, judging by the holes in her legs.
>Can shapeshift for an indefinite amount of time; though we only see changlings change into ponies what would stop them from changing into a object.
>Gains power from being loved, a rather easy feat if you consider the afore mentioned; she should also be adept at personality metamorphosis.
>can do magic
>Has night vision, but then again I think ponies do too.

Quite a formidable "villain". incredibly Stealth you wouldn't know if a changling were right in front of you. They could take over Equestria peacefully without anyone noticing.

I mean It's not like their goal is to get as much love as they possible can.

Celestia as a religious shyster, albeit for "good" reasons, is an interesting concept. As for Chrysalis:

>Pegacorn

They're called alicorns
>faster wings
Bug wings are not faster than feathered wings, but their delicate structure allows for a greater amount of control and in-flight maneuvering. Think of bird wings as airplanes and bug wings as helicopters.
>Higher pain tolerance from holes
Maybe, but it's less structural integrity. Changelings must be able to regrow lost limbs.
>can do magic
My headcanon is that changelings are not as good in flight as pegasi and not as good in magic as unicorns, but the fact that they can do both makes them discount alicorns and gives them an advantage over their more specialized rivals.

Also, I like fanons where Equestria has an inquisition for the infestation problem, adding an undercurrent of deep suspicion in an otherwise very trusting society.
