I actually think Twilight Sparkle is better as an Alicorn. I don't think it was handled properly whatsoever, and it was WAY too early, but she's far cooler and more interesting as an Alicorn. She also looks great like this, the wings are cute and suit her well. The embodiment of Magic SHOULD be an Alicorn. She is the sort of workaholic who WOULD/deserves to become an Alicorn. She also embodies friendship, and Alicorns are a symbol of unity and accord between the 3 Pony tribes. Overall I like the confident, compassionate leader she became and Twilight both deserves to be an Alicorn and is far more fitting and suited for Alicornhood. She is a supremely magical person.
"Alicorn" is the most retarded bronyism. They're winged unicorns.>b--but muh amuletIs named after the material unicorn horns are made of.>b--but such-and-such said-Not canon.
>>41058638The term Alicorn wasn't a brony invention. Before G4 it WAS more commonly used to mean the substance a unicorn horn is made of, but it was also used as a word to refer to pegacorns, it just was extremely obscure and rarely used this way. But of course bronies scoured the internet trying to find a synonym for pegacorn that sounded better and it didn't matter that alicorn was very rarely used like this. It sounded nice and the internet SAID it was a synonym for pegacorn, so it stuck and got popularized.Anyway, you're delusional if you think Alicorns should be called pegasus-unicorns or whatever the fuck. Alicorns are ALL THREE Pony tribes, not just 2. They needed their own name.
>>41058649Point me to a single instance of a princess using earth pony magic.
>>41058637Nah.
>>41058663Point to a single instance of me implying I give a fuck about your opinion
>>41058638>Is named after the material unicorn horns are made of.Keratin?
>>41058672I accept your concession.
Big hair magic mare

>>41058680>inb4 it's actually unicorn magic cope by him
Why are people still sperging out over this. Alicorn Twilight was a mistake through and through, there is no discussion about that. Some people simply joined the ride too late and never going to understand that. Never going to understand the real MLP that millions fell in love with (Season 1). Fundamentally, those two sides can never be in agreement. The conservatives will never give up what they once had, and the newcomers will never have grown up in the world of Unicorn Twilight. Why argue?
>>41058680It actually is unicorn magic, she uses her horn for crying out loud. That'd be like calling self-levitation pegasus magic because it accomplishes the same thing as flapping your wings.>Verification not required.
Everyone is simply jealous of her superiority.
>>41058693It's Earth Pony magic cast through the horn obviously.>>41058685
>>41058663In my opinion their Earth Pony side is where Alicorns get their immortality from. It is an extrapolation of an Earth Pony's natural theme of endurance.My headcanon is that Alicorns are not merely a 3-in-1 Pony type. It doesn't just combine all 3, Alicorns are also an ENHANCED version of all 3 Pony types, a superpowered version of each. They are>more magically powerful than any unicorn>faster than any pegasus>stronger and more enduring than any earth pony
>>41058711Makes sense. Granny Smith should be like 200 years old as the worldbuilding implies, but then again: Starswirl is implied to be older than Celestia and Luna(?), but that could just be because he's a super sayjan of a unicorn.
>>41058637Oh yeah? Well, guess what you little shitYou're right
>>41058691I consider myself a newcomer and lean more towards Twilight Unicorn.
>>41058691Based and sadpilled. Fuck (Has)bro.
>>41058691This exactly. Unicorn Twilight is how it should have stayed. If you ask me, I think it's pretty selfish and cunty of Celestia to just suddenly spring immortality and the responsibility of ruling an entire kingdom on Twilight, who as we know, already seems to have severe anxiety issues and doesn't manage stress well.If Celestia wanted a successor, she should have just mated with a strong unicorn stallion who could produce a powerful heir. That way, it feels a little less forced since it's commonplace for royalty to simply pass the role down.
>>41058663Disingenuous request, earth pony magic didn't exist until g5 and it was said it was a brand new magic
>>41058691>literally no argument just OLD THING IS LE GOOD and CHANGE IS LE BAD
>>41058887The conservative position is always valid.
>>41058893Faust herself drew alicorn twilight that was used as older experienced twi, you live in tranny land, not conservative
>>41058637>it was way too earlyG5 handled it way worse. They gave Sunny Alicorn goddess powers in the third act of the very first movie/episode.
>>41058691So what you're saying is: Twilight was never meant to be something greater than a nerdy unicorn living in a library?
>>41058937I think G5 did it way better, she didn't go full alicorn and the contribution that led to it was so much more than what Twilight did.
>>41058944Where did it say that? Are you hallucinating?
>>41058637I love alicorn Twilight more too. She's much more fun and mature, and it's what she was destined to be.>>41058711I don't think they're That OP, but they certainly have better genetics on average. Gifted ponies like Dashie and Glimmy can still match them though.
>>41058972>She's much more matureit's literally the opposite retard, she's childish and bratty
>>41058972>more maturenot really lol
>>41058637Her being an alicorn is not that bad. Celestia and Luna retiring and having Twilight take their spots as the supreme ruler of Equestria is bad. Twilight becoming a giraffe at the end, very bad.I'll contradict my first sentence a bit. Twilight BECOMING an alicorn was awful. The s3 finale was the worst episode in the series except the last episode of s9. The entire episode was so bizarre and made zero sense. Her becoming an alicorn was retarded. However, her as an alicorn after that abomination of an episode wasn't that bad.
>>41058944Living in a boring ass castle is so much better?
>>41058972>She's much more fun and matureWhat exactly do you think maturity is?>Gifted ponies like Dashie and Glimmy can still match them though.Maybe Dash, but it's confirmed that Celestia and Luna are well beyond the abilities of any unicorn, even Starswirl, specifically thanks to them being alicorns.
>>41058944She's the Element of Magic. How is that not enough?
>>41058975That's unicorn twilight, a cynical holier-than-thou entitled brat. All she needed was a fedora to complete the look.
>>41059025>Living in a boring ass school is so much better?FTFY. Also the cutie map would've kept her plenty busy if the writers continued to flesh it out.
>>41059163Cutie map was a complete mistake.
>>41059163The cutie map was great, it's the best incarnation of the elements.
>>41059084You're right, alicorn twilight is more mature when she's not being flanderized
Alicorn twilight is a mary sue, therefore uninteresting
>>41058910The art you are speaking of being a commission which Lauren was asked to do and sign at a con for a fan YEARS before Alicorn Twilight as we know in "The Last Problem" was even an idea of the writers.
>>41058637Nice bait
>>41059187>>41059196Only one of (You) can be right.
>>41059635Yes, and it's me.
>>41058864>I think it's pretty selfish and cunty of Celestia to just suddenly spring immortality and the responsibility of ruling an entire kingdom on Twilight, who as we know, already seems to have severe anxiety issues and doesn't manage stress well.This.>>41058992Are you me?>Her being an alicorn is not that bad. Celestia and Luna retiring and having Twilight take their spots as the supreme ruler of Equestria is bad. It would have been better if they became a trinity: Day, Night and Twilight.>Twilight becoming a giraffe at the end, very bad.The last S9 episode was the only episode I truly hated. The time skip and the awful designs:>giraffe Twilight >chad Spike >upscaled GummyIt felt like a fever dream and couldn't take it seriously.Chad spike looks good as a meme but that's it.It was the first time I felt like considering something not canon, funny it snowballed backwards and made me question the concept of alicorn Twilight.
>>41059648The last episode is bad for a multitude of reasons, most egregious being Alicorn Twilight, but seeing as she has been an issue since she was shoved into the show, the changes made to the rest of the characters seemed almost more immediately jarring. The shipteases were cringe and their "future" designs were either cringe or overdesigned.Chad Spike makes no sense and looks absolutely ridiculous, like some designer on the crew said "Let's do this because it would be funny and see if we can get away with it." Ideally, Spike should have looked more like classic Spyro, but standing on his hind legs. essentially just an older spike with no weird design quirk.
>>41059261"flanderized" Twi is super fun. Lesson Zero and A Trivial Pursuit are my top two favorite Twilight episodes.
>>41058637the round wings look like shit and are completely tacked on. anyone with taste can see the round wings were never meant to go on that type of blocky sharp character design. its fucking awful.
>>41059648Here's the real Chad spike, not that Barney fursuit looking ass.
>>41059849>literal [headcanon]done
>>41058992>Twilight becoming a giraffe at the end, very bad.Shit taste. Twilight's fully grown form is smoking hot.
>>41058992>giraffe
>>41059815This was another problem with the design. The wings literally look too big for her. It's so weird and awkward.
>>41059742>it's fun when things are written like shit!
>>41060395>things I don't like are shitwell that's just your opinion man
>>41058637Anything else, brony?
>>41061807Brohoof brony /)
>>41058637>wings
>>41058637I agree she deserves to be a alicorn.
>>41058637I’m going to find the biggest rock I can and drop it from a hot air balloon. It will smash through the roof of your house like a cannon ball and turn you into mush.
>>41058637She does not deserve to be an alicorn, I'm sorry.
>>41058637Twilight being a Princess makes no sense. She should be a teacher at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns instead.
>>41062643Not really, if she had stayed in school then yeah. I wonder how the show would be like if Celestia never sent her to Ponyville. It would be way better than the school setting in EqG for sure, the spin off probably would never happen, it would also mean less adventure which is a plus or minus depending on the person.
>>41058637She was far better as a unicorn in season 1 because she was a stand-in for the audience. She was the perfect vehicle for the delivery of the moral lessons the show had to teach, and her original personality was great for comedy. After season 2 and Faust's involvement was lessened, that spark dimmed, and died completely over season 3, culminating with her becoming an alicorn.
>>41058944To walk in hoofsteps and following the long line of greatest magic scholars in the grand halls of Canterlot doesn't need wing implants.
>>41058637I disagree
>>41058944It was always enough for Twilight to just be a nerdy unicorn living in a library who occasionally steps up to save the world with her friends. It's against the rightful spirit of the show for that to not be enough.
>>41058637i love twilicorn, imagine her hugging you with her wings, imagine helping her preen her wings
