>tfw you realize Twilight has been an alicorn longer than

What is the fucking deal? I've been here for, like, a month now and I don't get it. What's the difference between alicorn Twilight and unicorn Twilight? This is a visual change, not a personality one.

Pretty sure you posted this """friendly reminder""" yesterday, too.

We had a thread about this exactly the day that this barrier was breached.

>>30447854
Technically no, as she was a Unicorn since birth and through all her childhood. In the scope of her life it was just recently that she became an Alicorn.

Twilight is like Jesus. We see her as a child, then long nothing and then she is an adult, gets some followers, performs miracles, dies and gets resurrected with wings.

People didn't like her becoming an alicorn because it changed a status quo they liked, and made it seem like her arc as a student was concluded way too early. Also alicorns are seen as super special, demigods, and people didn't like the idea of adding more to the roster.

Don't forget her complete personality shift from snarky pessimistic nerd to walking friendship speech

The former is shit, the latter isn't.

That happened at the beginning of S2. Also
>the show is named Friendship is Magic
>character shouldn't grow from a fedora-tipping douche into a nicer person
If you are so cynical, why are you watching the show to begin with?

This could literally be said about everything ever

The problem isn't she's nicer, it's that she became a personification of the end of the episode moral completely incapable of communicating in anything other than speeches about friendship.

Glimmers turning around and screaming "quiet!" when she tried to do another one was almost therapeutic.

>in anything other than speeches about friendship.
I'm sorry, did all of her episodes from that point (Amending Fences, What About Discord, Celestial Advice, A Flurry of Emotions) had 22 minutes of her reciting friendship speeches and had no conflict at all?

>>30448020
Yeah, we all know. Like Cadence, Shining, Flurry, the Castle, Maud, and the Crystal Empire. They're shit.

Things like Golden Oaks Library, the Friendship Express and the changelings when they were evil aren't.

>>30448092
I mean this could be said about everything ever because you didn't give a single argument, and without arguments, we can just claim anything.

When we get to 218 episodes, the CMC will have had their marks for the same amount of episodes without them

>>30447854
She's been a unicorn most of her life. She's only been an alicorn for a few years.
