I saw the first season finale this morning. I gotta say... Princess Celestia is kinda a... <insert not so nice comment here>. I mean, she invited the cast with the expectation they would liven things up, and was happy that the gala spiraled into a chaotic maelstrom? I accepted that until she admitted the disastrous end would have been an unpleasant experience for some others attending. But, it was all okay because she and the core ponies had fun? O.o
I'm not sure that's a great message to send about leadership. If anything, it was kind of a pro-clique message despite the episode shooting for anti-clique moral. A shame too. It was my favorite episode by far up until the very end.
We call he Trollestia for a reason.
Honestly, I don't have a problem with it. I didn't really read it as her being indifferent to some of her subjects, and it's not like the ones attending were really upstanding models of citizenship, at that. Likewise, I doubt that the complete disaster that occured was what she intended by inviting them - it just played out that way and in the end there was no real harm done to anybody, and it did liven things up. All leaders manipulate people, that's part of the job, and this was done in a pretty benign fashion.
