Turning Twilight Sparkle into a no good alicorn is unjustifiably evil, it's one of the dumbest decisions in fandom history, and it objectively ruined the property forever. But maybe that's the point. Maybe they wanted to ostracize themselves from it's adult male fanbase, so they did something so dumb that real men would stop watching it regularly. Cause if that's the case, they succeeded.

>>42951907You're a faggot
>>42951907sir, it has been a decade.

>>42951907But without Twilight as an alicorn, Tirek may still have been free to consume everypony’s magic and leave Equestria without a ruler.
>>42951962>sir, it has been a decadeImplying this changes the quality of the writing decision in any capacity.
>>42952062Twilight had no personality before wings, she was a bore.
>>42952030>Tirek may still have been free to consume everypony’s magic and leave Equestria without a rulerYou know they could've written the episode so Unicorn Twilight wins against him, right?
>>42952350Sure, but in the lore, could that chest have given as powerful of a magic boost to a non-alicorn?
>>42952077She was a nerd with good amount of snark and other cute features. She had much more personality before than that bland "leader" personality after that stupid mutation.
>>42951907She saved Equestria so she deserves it.
>>42952355>could that chest have given as powerful of a magic boost to a non-alicorn?Lore is also something the writers define, so yes I assume. While it may be non-sensical depending on different factors, I don't see it as impossible for it to happen.
