Pa-pa-Paparazzi!
>extremely common idea
No, it really wasn’t. It was entirely a niche concept.
>never an alien concept to fandom
I didn’t say it was, I merely pointed out that it was NOT the normal perspective, which is a fact.
>it became a fairly widely accepted idea
Oh boy, not even close.
>not so much opposed to the very concept
I don’t know where you were, but most sites I cruised through made that one of the most contentious points of debate once the official art showed up. A huge sigh of relief was felt all over the place when Tara falsely indicated that it wasn’t going to happen.
>It just wasn’t a good idea as executed
This I can certainly agree with, and I’ll even go so far as to say I was personally hoping they’d find some way to make what sounded like a terrible idea actually work. Unfortunately, it was not to be.
But no matter how well it could have been pulled off, there would still be inherent problems with the alicorn part, if not the princess status as much.
I disagree with that assessment. It was an extremely common idea in fan fiction virtually from the start, there was fan art of it that wasn’t blasted, and it was widely speculated on. True, the idea got a significant boost when Candace came around, but the idea of Twilight at some future point becoming like the Princesses was never an alien concept to fandom.
Indeed I’d actually already seen it occasionally decried of brushed off as ‘cliche’ in some fan works before we even started getting teasers of season 3, it was that prevalent. After Cadance opened the door I think it became a fairly widely accepted idea that similar status had become the likely end point for Twilight’s development.
Of course that’s the key word end point. Even during the height of the drama I saw many people not so much opposed to the very concept, but deeply concerned with how it looked like, and ultimately how it was executed.
I have a sort of motto about stuff like this that I can’t even recall if I heard somewhere once or adapted or made up, but it’s pretty much to the effect of. “There is no idea in fiction so inherently awful that a skilled enough execution can’t make it work.” This includes Princess Sparkle, but the execution was, in my view, lacking for myriad reasons and hence why we’re going to be enduring significant rumination and grumbling about this for the rest of the shows run, like it or not.
It just wasn’t a good idea as executed, but the concept itself wasn’t inherently bad or good, much like any other.
The vast majority of fans certainly did NOT expect Twilight to ever become an alicorn until official art started popping up for that around S3. One can be a leader without being exalted as thought they’ve reached some transcendent status of being. It’s a pretty long stretch to say that one will obviously lead to the other.
The problem wasn’t really the concept, but the execution. I frankly always figured she’d get the wings at some point, but I also expected it would happen as the finale for the entire series, or even not be shown beyond her just having them already in some manner of distant finale to bookend it.
You’re either trolling or serious. And if you’re serious… well, that’s just sad.
>their own dreams
The sad thing is, Twilight never even hinted that she had the smallest inkling of what Celestia intended, let alone made a goal out of it. Alicorn princess status was just sort of plopped in her lap one day, and she was pretty much like “Okay, why not!”
I more or less share your reservations, but you have to realize that at this point, it’s just opening old wounds for no real reason.
There’s no point complaining about it anymore.
Life ain’t fair.
Okay then, tell me, what is so funny that Princess Twilight got the biggest reward that could possibly be achieved in Equestria and received all the glory and fame while her friends got nothing when they worked just as hard as her for their own dreams? It just shows they are not worthy for the same fame and recognition as her and they never will be. And because of this they are no longer equal to her and never again will they be. So please, elaborate me on how I’m joking and trying to be funny. Tell me how I’m being so hilarious feeling bad for five characters who will never be as good and recognized as Princess Twilight where this episode had just proven. Because I don’t joke around with dumbasses who don’t take things seriously and I’m not amused by your naive bullshit.
that you’re joking
Nope, I’m just speaking the truth.
trying to stir up drama, eh?
More like:
“Princess Twilight Sparkle: Still Just Like Us.”
She was once a regular old unicorn, you know.
Like teacher, like student.
They’re also set to automatically take pictures, with flash, regardless on if there’s a window in the way or not.
Popping out of nowhere
Cameras in your face
And then suddenly
