absolutely. we need one episode where sunbutt throws off the horseshoes and beats down a villain to save twilight herself. i know they’ve implied that celestia holds back out of fear of being too powerful, but that comes off as such an asspull when we’ve never seen anything in the show that actually
shows she has enough power to have such a concern in the first place. she got beaten by slow-moving vines and some snot on her horn for christs sake; she’s
not been portrayed as being even remotely powerful even once in the series. that needs to change.
That gives me an idea for a two parter, preferably the Season 9 finale. It would go as follows:
Part 1 has Twilight & Co. trying to stop a powerful villain, only for them to get captured. Upon hearing about this, Celestia immediately decides to drop everything and go rescue Twilight. Luna wants to come with too, but Celestia demands that she [Luna] stays behind to tend to the kingdom and move the sun and moon should anything happen to her [Celestia]. Celestia get’s to where the villain and captured Main 6/7/8 are, defeats the villain and rescues Twilight and her friends, but as she had to use a lot of her power to defeat said villain, she loses control of herself in the process and becomes Daybreaker.
Part 2 would be Twilight & her friends, alongside Luna, Cadence & Shining Armor, the Royal Guard, and/or all of the other powerful ponies and other creatures they’ve befriended along the way fighting to defeat Daybreaker and to prevent Equestria (and the surrounding lands) from becoming a barren wasteland from an eternal day. In the end Daybreaker is eventually defeated and Princess Celestia is restored, a friendship lesson is learned, and everyone has a happy ending.
