If her brother is married to a princess, doesn’t that already make her a member of the royal family? Also, who says “princess” can’t be one of the “more than one way to be a girl”?

I can get behind this, and make sweet sweet love to it with my strapon.

That’s the thing. It’s MAKING HER A PRINCESS that will bugger things up.
 
Elevating Twilight to royalty
 
1)Puts a huge social gap between her and all her friends. No matter how much you protest “I’m still the same person!”— if you’re on the throne of a kingdom, then no, you’re not.
 
2)flies in the face of her character– she’s a scholar, a researcher, a polymath scientist— not a politician or a ruler. Do you think she’d be effective or even happy sitting on a throne, forever away from her books, her research, her magic and her friends?
 
3)craps all over the premise of the show: replacing “there’s more than one way to be a girl” with the retrograde attitude that the highest achievement a little girl can hope for is… to be a pretty pretty princess.

Let’s not forget the Too Many Pinkie Pies teaser. Notice how one scene was different from the actual episode? In other words, calm down until you watch the season finale. Then decide if you want to complain and quit.

Okay if this isn’t remotely what happens in that episode Imma gonna be sooooooo pissed, seriously I could care less about “Alicorn Twilight” but this is fucking good stuff right here.

That sounds really good actually.

Doubt its permanent. Permanent character changes aren’t common in cartoons simply because networks don’t like how it screws with future syndication.

Seems legit

I’ll admit that it could be done well, it just doesn’t feel like natural growth or direction for Twilight’s character.

is someone on 4chan making sense? HOLY SHIT THIS SHOW IS SCREWED!

Cutie Marks and Destinies.  
Also, Celestia’s Cutie Mark might be what lets her control the sun and be an alicorn.

They change their cutie marks, not their body parts.

Hmmm… maybe, I guess.  
But Hasbro wants their toy to be promoted more then that I think.

Sounds like a pretty moderate take on the whole dealio. I wonder how close it is to the truth?

I’m actually kind of hoping the change is permanent.
 
I don’t know why.
