I think my biggest issue with these two episodes was Luna and Celestia suddenly summoning the mane six and being all "Hey there. I think we're gonna retire in a few days so yeah you guys can totally take over. K? Thx." That just seemed so out of character for them to just suddenly spring something like that. It just felt weird (to me).

It's so out of left field, so weird.They had an entire episode about how stressful the princess days and nights are. So tailored to them they can't just switch places. And now Twilight is supposed to do both. I guess Cadance is still there but she is too weak to guard her own child.

I assume it's because he didn't want Flurry to be harmed accidently but that made it even easier for Sombra to take over the Empire. Ponyfan

But it was all so rushed, I hardly understood what was going on until I watched that scene again. I think it was lazy not to bring up Flurry's magical powers again. It's like all the ingredients were there to age up Flurry and make it clear she is the new ruler. She was born an alicorn princess, I really thought the writers would jump on that and develop her further. But instead they wrote her out, just like Cadence. Cadence is so useless nowadays and only there to be a mom.
I mean, I don't know about the rest of you but I can't think of anyone better suited to ruling an entire empire than a sulky fashion designer, a stubborn farmer, a reckless daredevil, an insane party planner, a cripplingly shy wallflower, and an eternal student so egotistical as to think she is the world's only authority on how to make friends. /s
I'm more still trying to get over the idea of Gusty is now suddenly canon. The idea that it made her more official because they talked about her on an episode of FIM.
