So apparently Clover the Clever had to put up with Star Swirl’s wackiness…

The romance may be generic, but what this arc is doing is actually giving us character to Celestia, something the show has consistently avoided, and what leads people to want to call her Trollestia or the like.
Having a better idea of what her youth/earlier days were like is extremely valuable for those interested in world building. I would argue fairly that pulling alt-Sombra out as the love interest might be a bit lazy but works just fine for a story that is meant to world-build.
Why make a “mirror universe” character out of a character who literally had no personality whatsoever and ended up being nothing but a plot device? And then make his entire character revolve around a tepid, generic romance?
You don’t seem to understand the whole “mirror universe” concept.
So it really is a completely different character.
What was even the point of making it Sombra?
Star Swirl said it when they met Sombra for first time. In the comic, Celestia said that she began seeing Sombra alone after Luna was gone, and Evil Sombra was defeated by Celestia and Luna.
So at this point of the story, Celestia and Luna have already defeated Evil Sombra and Celestia banished Luna to the moon.
No Starswirl said that there might be a Sombra and that he might be evil. So this is before King Sombra and Nightmare Moon.
He doesn’t became a villain.
Actually, Celestia and Luna have already defeated Evil Sombra at this point.
Celestia for president empress of the universe.
Gee, that doesn’t sound familiar at all.
^Exactly. Who wouldn’t go looking for love and adoration at that time in their life?
For a dude.
A really boring dude she just met.
Who becomes a really boring villain.
