But Twilight’s not bad! She would never be like Tempest! Or Sunset Shimmer! Or Starlight Glimmer! She was trying to steal the pearl and nearly killed or harm her own friends just like what Tempest did!

Who cares? And besides, is “hippogriffs”. Not “hippos”. And Twilight Spale thinks that the peal could be something to everypony in Equestria into something to defeat the Storm King and his Storm Army and save Equestria. I don’t know why Twilight blame her friends for not taking the quest so seriously while Pinkie blame her for letting the. And Five and Spike distract Queen Novo, blame her for being the only thing that stopped them, and blame her for being the only one who doesn’t trust her friends. And even Rainbow Dash get not get too carried away helping the pirates get their jam back because Twilight tries to tell Captain Celaeno to take them to Mount Aris but she refuses because she and her crew were enslaved by the Storm King until Rainbow Dash cheered her up and Celaeno and her crew have accept Twilight’s offer. And I don’t know why Twilight was being mad at Rainbow Dash for drawing unwanted attention to the Storm King’s henchmen with her Sonic Rainboom. Twice! Because she could have prevent he for doing that while zapping at her just like what Starlight Glimmer did to filly Rainbow Dash various times when she altered history various times in the season five finale “The Cutie Re-Mark”.

I 💜 Twilie
@Background Pony #AC59
In a matter of seconds Twilie witnessed how her land got practically conquered and other princesses fell to the invaders. That pretty much left her (and her friends) as the last frontier between Storm King and total domination over Equestria. Quite a responsibility, wouldn’t you agree?
Now, Capper: the first character that she and her friends chose to trust to you-now-know-which initial results. That certainly had a serious effect on Twilie’s trust to characters other than equestrians. That led her to hastily orchestrating their escape from pirate’s airship in fear of them turning her in to Tempest. Oh, how could I forget that Twilie had Tempest in hot pursuit after her? There, actually, she also quite frankly was frustrated when Dash got too carried away helping pirates get their jam back and performed sonic rainboom. Consequences, again, you already know.
And finally we have Seaquestria part. Twilie and friends made such a journey to find those who supposedly could be their only salvation in their fight against Storm King. And what did the ruler of “hippos” answered to them? “No”. Imagine what shock this was for Twilie to realize that they were just denied their supposedly only help. This is where responsibility got mixed up with desperation. And you know what desperate ponies might resort to: pretty much anything. She didn’t tell anything her friends because she knew they probably wouldn’t understand. But neither she wanted to argue about it because time was racing against them. Which is why she ended up going the deception road.
Of course, it ultimately failed to pay off and made things worse. The band got kicked out of Seaquestria and everypony were not happy with Twilie’s actions. She obviously explained the way things were, or at least how she sees it. But her friends only were looking at it from their perspective. This, combined with everything else, started to destabilize Twilie psychologically, which ultimately led to:
“Well, maybe, I would’ve been better off without friends like you!!!”
Twilie immediately regretted what she spitted out, and honestly wanted to apologize, but considering the power of certain words… Needless to say that this led to her morale being destroyed by regret, as well as questioning her place as friendship princess. Mane 5 also eventually started feeling bad about that and wanted to go and talk to Twilie. I think they finally saw things from her perspective and wanted to apologize. And hey, they did go to help her when she got captured. And to show how truly regretful she was about lashing out at her friends the first thing she does when they blast in (despite everything going on around) is that she apologized to them. And of course, everything was forgiven like it is with good friends.
To wrap things up, I just want to point out this one thing: Twilie, just like her friends, is not flawless. The words “princess” and “perfect” have never been synonyms. And besides, Twilie hasn’t been a princess for as long as any other equestrian princess. She still has long way ahead of her.

How could you blame Twilight for going OOC for trying to steal the pearl and lashed out at the Mane 5 (mostly Pinkie) and Spike ?! It looks like you’re like the fans who blame Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime for the death of Optimus Prime in the Transformers movie.

Well, maybe, she wouldn’t even be in this mess in the first place if she weren’t so obeyable while trying to steal the pearl without trying getting caught, or arrested, or falsely executed by Queen Novo and the guards!

Why did you blame Twilight?! She made a terrible mistake that could caused her to finally be captured by the Storm King’s troops! She should have listen to Queen Novo! But she didn’t! That causes the Mane Six to be falsely exiled from Seaquestria by Queen Novo! And now, Novo finally regret this!

Well, is Twilight responsible for failing at friendship, yelling and lashing out at her friends (including Pinkie), disobeying Queen Novo for trying to steal the pearl, being banished by Novo, ruining everything, gives up saving Equestria from the Storm King’s tyranny over Equestria, and blaming her friends for causing all the trouble they had because of the Storm King’s henchmen, Tempest Shadow and Grubber following and hunting down the Mane Six (mostly Twilight) and taking her back to the Storm King who is still tyrant of both Equestria and the storms?

Well, it’s possible why Twilight “single-handedly killed this town” whatever that means. Because she didn’t listen to Queen Novo after she warned Twilight about the pearl! I don’t know why her station of going OOC does not endorse vigilante justice!

I accused her of going OOC in the movie right before this moment. This was just the breaking point. In fact, the entire group felt dumber than in canon.
