I'm not happy with her, but I like Spike XD

Despite her being my favourite character, I'm not especially bothered as to whether or not Twilight becomes a princess. It was fairly obvious from the first few episodes she was heading in that sort of direction: She stands between night and day, her cutiemark is a constellation, her element is a crown instead of a necklace, training under Celestia (for what is never really specified), and she generally kicks butt. Princess, yes. Alicorn, admittedly, not so much.

I understand other peoples concerns about it becoming "Disneyfied" but if someone had said three and a half years ago that MLP would be one of the most successful children's shows ever, adored by adults and kids alike, would anyone have believed them? I think we need to give the writers some credit here. They're stuck between the hardcore bronies and Hasbro's higher-ups. Its a toy company, of course they're going to push the show for merchendise.

Besides, what's so wrong about telling kids they can become something special if they work hard? Not only is it about her magic, its about her newly acquired knowledge of other ponies/people, and of understanding the importance of thier own problems, no matter how small, essential for people in "higher-up" roles. Kids aren't as stupid and gulible as many adults think they are. Not every girl wants to be a princess, thats true, but did watching Disney movies as kids turn you or your friends or sisters into princess loving ditzes? Probably not, no.

I hope they do well with it. It could be the biggest mistake they make with the show, and I'm intruiged to see where its going. It could be amazing, it could be absolute poo.


Edit: The episode was good, I suppose. I'd have prefered it over two episodes, but we can't have everything. Loved all the songs XD

Lol mah gods, thank you everyone for the sheer amount of love this picture has recieved so far! Thank you!

Not sure if the second season was there when you done this, but in the "Cutie Mark Chronicles" episode you can see why she got to be the special personal student of Celestia ^^

Cus she was GODLIKE HAVOKING since before going to school.

Thanks! Now we just have to hope the fourth series doesn't suck. :/

I'd rather see Spike getting his wings then Twilight. After all, being born a dragon, Spike was meant to have wings, whereas Twilight was not born an alicorn, she was not meant for it.

Spike does need wings. Agreed!
I don't mind Twilight's wings, its just that they're too big for her body. They're the Luna wings and they're fine on Luna, because she's taller, but Twilight's still a dumpy little pony with these massive wings. Just looks a bit disproportionate to me.
It's going to take some careful writing to get folks used to it.

It also probably looks disproportionate because like I said before, she wasn't born an alicorn, whereas Celestia and Luna at this rate, most likely WERE born alicorns! Even Cadence was shown with wings that were a lot smaller when she was younger in that flashback Twilight had when she was her foalsitter, and therefore was born an alicorn.

They both look awesome enough to help Godzilla and Ultraman save the world from evil invaders from space!
