26 September 2023: Cure Majesty is not a character; she's a Stand
I am here to drink boxed apple juice and kick ass, and I am all out of boxed apple juice.
This is not a "Cure Majesty sucks" post, although I have encountered opinions along those lines. Rather, I simply don't find Cure Majesty very compelling. It honestly feels as if Cure Majesty as a concept lacked sufficient planning or development. Now, it appears the production team behind Hirogaru Sky! Precure (Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure) wanted to add variety to who became Cures. To that end, the Pretty Cure franchise received its first boy Cure, its first (sort of) non-pink lead Cure, and its first (sort of) adult Cure. Adding Cure Majesty gave it its first (again, only sort of) toddler Cure.
You, of all people, should not be surprised.
The problem here is that Cure Majesty's toddler form really is a toddler. She's not a mentally mature girl slumming around in baby form; she literally is a baby who is still learning how to talk. When Cure Majesty appears in the show, it's only to fight. She's entirely divorced from the character we know as Ellee. Consequently, viewers have no more reason to invest in Cure Majesty than, say, Star Platinum from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
They grow up so fast.
I like Hirogaru Sky! Precure, but I think it stumbled here. I suppose the introduction of Cure Majesty is not as bad as the mess involving Cure Muse from Suite Precure♪, but it's not great either. I feel as if there's nothing to lose now by having the magic baby grow up faster. Granted, Delicious Party♡Precure did that without much success, but Delicious Party had a whole lot of other problems dragging it down. Hirogaru Sky! doesn't have that issue.
