That body language is freaking me out. Its like the creator decided that he wanted to make it pro-alicorn halfway through. I mean, the only time it looks positive is the last two panels. Even then, the way the situation was set up makes the second to last just really awkward and misplaced until you get to the last and realize that its genuine letter.
 
It just seems to me like shes nudging them into accepting her authority which, while obviously not the intention, is a little disconcerting.
 
The dogmatic support and paranoid behavior present on both sides is doing more damage than the situation itself, which is just objectively bad. The writers may be able to pull it off, but despite what everyone says the team isn’t Shakespeare. They’re above average at best.
 
Im going to stick to my original prediction that the show will take two seasons for the fandom to lose 50% of the audience it had at the beginning of the descent which I am marking as season three.
 
Either way, this is still a drop in quality for a lot of people and the hypocrisy of the supports who have individually moved over to the other side of the argument is aggravating, while the lack of respect on the supporting side is disappointing.
 
I can’t say much for whats going to happen on Saturday, but the fandom is becoming increasingly hard to relate to and Im not sure if anythings even good enough to retain my attention. Not to say its bad, but I didn’t join this group for average quality.
 
Not like it really matters anyway, just another example of the human condition.

Here’s my take on the whole “alicorn Twilight” thing.
 
I don’t like it because it’s one of the biggest fandom cliches ever, right there with evil Celestia, only difference is that only one of them has to derail a character to make it work.
 
Still, many people have given possibilities as to how this could work, such as the alicorn form being a Super Saiyan-like transformation, being torn from her duties and her friends, and my favorite, flying lessons from Rainbow Dash.
 
Am I disappointed they went this route? Yes, but I have faith that the writers can turn an overused fandom cliche into something good.

Help me believe it’s not the real me  
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become

I still think it’s horrible. It’s saying that what you are isn’t good enough.
 
That all those other ponies are objectively inferior to Twilight, otherwise they’d “ascend” too.
 
It’s tragic, those born earth ponies or pegasi who’ve lived all their lives, working on part of what makes them them, should find those special parts of themselves mirrored or often bested (poor Scootaloo) by another who has never spent a day in her life trying.

All my feels for the last panel of this comic!

Such a heartfelt comic. sniff sniff

@Beau Skunky  
I’ve seen the comic. Still callin’ bullshit on it good sir.

Actually guys before you all continue to take this image out of context it’s actually taken from a longer fan comic.  
And probably one all the whiners need to see.

They all have to write friendship reports now! That’s right, we get 5 spin offs, one for each of the girls!

They look like they’re doing it at gunpoint.

Yeah, that’s messed up.

Except that this isn’t going to happen.

Theyre all slaves now :(

Hey If I had an all powerful friend I would ask favors of him
