> If it had been still done subtly like a few more mentor moments and perhaps a storyline where she disagreed with Celestia in something strongly and you could have had a more reasonable set up why Celestia thought that way. 
I mean yeah, that could work...if it weren´t by the fact that Twilight takes a lot of care before disagreeing with Celestia. The effort wouldn´t consist in the disagreement but setting the proper situation for implementing it. 

> Though better yet they could have tried to just connect to the moments where TS did show leadership and just not have it been in a few days as for a full transition of power as there initial plan.
yeah, I think that we share the idea of reinforcing her transition with more arguments to back it up instead of getting a few first minutes of the premiere with that twist from the moment it begins.

> If they had introduced this stronger and had more stuff on the changelings than perhaps I would've liked her better 
you, me and basically the fanbase would have found arguments and unique traits about her if that introduction had happened. The opinions could vary but at least, Ocellus wouldn´t have fallen into indifference.

> It also could be the friendship school (or both).
oh...yeah, I didn´t think about it in that way. It´s no wonder that Ocellus would transform into her teacher because of the valuable lessons. You have nailed it here.

I see that you notice where I was going for with this comic. In terms of writing, it comes close to the feeling that the show brought and no character acts out of character and in terms of art skills, the effort was indeed way too much for what it delivered, because there aren´t any action scenes nor diverse backgrounds or places for this story (and you aren´t the first one I´ve seen that has said this same statement)

I point these out because you´ve got to be careful at picking the comics. It´s not like I´ve got a heavenly selective mind for the task, it´s simply that there is always a huge skepticism towards them because a lot of writers involved in the team have not watched the show and have attempted to their thing (this would explain why some fans see them as official fanfics). 
However, a few OC characters really appeal to the eyes because of their designs and when the comics manage to deliver an overall good product, it feels really good to get that jewel and appreciate it as a little treasure for you.

I won´t get tired of giving this warning but it´s how comcis work, either you get rubbish or you get unexpected efforts. As you say, this one shows the students but the effort made for this one cannot be overlooked at all.

And now, I believe that I am going to jump sooner or later to the new lady and...

> Surprise! 
Pinkie!What the hell are you doing h...? Oh, it´s actually Surprise.Well, we are going back in time to the 1st gen. I hope that the parties are celebrated like they do in Back to the Future...
