I concur with OP! Besides, she hasn’t really changed! She’s still our adorkable little unicorn, only now she can fly, too!

I’d have to agree with the OP

It didn’t have to be like this.

and know whats the funny? many fans already have Twi as a successor of ´tia, in headcanon and/or fanfics
 
anyway, the shitstorm is hilarious!

The show already had more than enough steam left for at least one or two more solid seasons. Turning Twilight into an alicorn seems like the kind of stunt they would do if the show was already in it’s death throes and they were desperate to make people pay attention again.
 
The difference is, this is a children’s show, and their goal is to sell toys. Hasbro doesn’t give a shit whether or not we like the idea, as long as it convinces little girls to feel like the Twilight Sparkle toys they own aren’t good enough anymore.

Fanon! Fanon everywhere!

@Mayojar77 I don’t know what you’re talking about. Explain.

@Crowley  
bcause people can dream.  
personaly i don’t think it’s too bad. But it will force them keep having season long story arcs if they want to keep the series running past season 4.

@Background Pony  
Why does everyone keep saying that when the news article quite plainly told everyone they’re sticking with it!?

It’s fairly likely that Twilicorn, if it happens, will be a temporary thing, like the crystal effect at the beginning of the season.

@PwnyPony  
Recently, she’s done at least one assholish thing per episode. there’s no way she’s not a jackass.

@The_Martian_Poet
 
I’d love that. Twilight stopped being audience surrogate after season 1.

I’m fine with Twilight being an alicorn,as long as she stays short.

@TenaxViator  
Who says they will be? It’s not going to become the Twilight Sparkle Show; her powers are derived from her friends. If anything, she may take a back seat.

EXACTLY!
 
OP deserves a cookie.
 
NO! OP deserves a whole pack of cookies!
 

 
Enjoy.

And what if I want the other ponies to have bigger roles.  
Why further Twilight development when 5 other, equally interesting characters are left out.

@Mayojar77  
twilight is not a jackass.  

yeah… nope

@Tim Timsen  
You don’t know how much I wish I could upvote comments right now.

And that is a positive view.
 
Bring the neighsayers!

Actually, it gives a complete jackass the power to outlive everything.

at least this is trying to be positive i guess…
