Anyone else feel like Celestia's presence in the show has become awkward?

The only times she speaks nowadays is when she's giving the backstory to whatever new threat or mystical object has come up. (You'd think she would divulge a lot of the information she has to Twilight before the threats come up.) She's only there for exposition; otherwise, she just kind of silently stands there next to Luna. Even Luna's got her whole dreamwalking thing going on.

Ere she comes

The problem is she's got competent leader syndrome and the current writing team does not know how to do subtlety. Hear me out on this:

Aside from her relationship to Luna, Celestia's most basic characterization is "that pony who ran the nation for a thousand years, Twilight's teacher, really old alicorn that's good at magic."

Now, way back in S1/S2 there were a couple factors mitigating this. The first was that the writing team was really good at subtly suggesting stuff - like implying that Celestia often manipulates events to get the outcome she desires (i.e., ticket master, setting Discord's defeat in motion by bombarding Twilight with friendship letters to remind her, etc) or hinting at the often-joking, fun-loving personality hiding beneath the surface. They were writing new character points as they went, without blatantly shoving it in your face. The second mitigating factor was that the M6 were often solving their own problems, which let Celestia play her part without overrunning their entire role in the episode.

Now the current situation. First of all, the M6 are solving other ponies' problems a lot of the time now, and so Celestia contributing the solution can be seen as her 'stealing thunder' from the M6. Second, the current writing team really doesn't seem to be able to see past her most simplistic characterization.

End result, competent leader syndrome: She cannot appear and take competent action, but cannot appear and be incompetent because the story says she is very capable. Writers can't figure out how to include her as a character who doesn't solve a problem. Thus, she's relegated to a non-acting role, or walking exposition at most.

Fucking sucks, let me tell you.

And yet they make her incompetent when it comes to almost every boss fight. Even vines defeated her.
