Quote from: Al-1701 on January 07, 2018, 05:20:47 PMSomething to chew on. Can we have an actual queen this time? Really, what many people probably think of when they hear "queen" is Queen Elizabeth II. So, why not have the queen be a sweet grandmotherly type (who can kick all kinds of tail when her country is threatened like Majesty in G1)?That kind of underrepresents the considerable number of European countries who have their own monarchic systems, and probably don't think of our Queen over their own. It's not like Britain is the only monarchy in Europe, or even the world.I suspect Majesty probably was based around that concept, to be honest albeit it's said that there are a lot of people who wouldn't want to mess with the Queen even at her age...

I just think the "people think of queens as evil" justification for making Celestia a princess was faulty.
I seem to remeber something in context of queen in association with g4 as to why celestia is a princess and not a queen. It was some nonsense about kids seeing queen as negative or something like that.

But even now, Isney is backpedaling by making QUEEN Elsa from Frozen, and throwing jabs at their own formula with what defines a Disney Princess, in Moana, with Maui's lnes of dialogue.

There have been a grand total of TWO evil queens in the Disney canon (and the Queen of Hearts was less so much evil as bat you know what insane) and both were based off their EUROPEAN origins. The queen in Snow White isn't even evil in the context of being queen but being incredibly vein and jealous to the point of unhealthy obsession her step daughter is better looking than her.
I meant her evilness did not come out of her being queen but being the jealous stepmother. Make her the mistress of a manor, and you've not really changed anything about the story.
That. it panders to kids and not adults.(...)I want Unipegs back.

It's like a pony with a peg leg. "'Tis my peg leg. I only have one so call me Unipeg. At your service!" I wonder why we even need an extra word for it, it's literally a winged unicorn so why not call it that.
No more friendship
