“If not your better”?
 
Way to piss off the ruler of the realm that’s a hell of a lot powerful than you are, Shimmer.

Well well well. It appears as though this particular book does not believe Alicorns are godlike either…

@Krek  
The story is supposed to be 8 pages of the comic in total, and these preview pictures I doubt have revealed all 8. I don’t think we can jump the gun just yet.

@Background Pony  
Get over yourself, you pathetic neckbeard.

celestia has dandurf

@MLP-Silver-Quill  
All I really want is to see is a solid explanation to how that kind of transformation occurs, like if there is some kinds of conditions and all that…

HASBRO/DHX made Twilight as a ugly mary sue?
 
QUICK WE MUST MAKE pony that’s completely opposite to Twicorn so maybe people forget about how we fucked up one of the most popular characters in show

Is it just me or is Celestia’s eyes look like the sharingan.

Somewhat generic, but better than the overused catalyst event.
 
Most important to me is that apparently alicorns can turn others into alicorns. I don’t like that idea. Maybe it’s just Sunset without her facts correct.

@Masem  
It does indeed give Celestia reason to try different tactics. Though I hesitate to make it sound like Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle were all that similar.
 
Even before she made friends, Twilight was kind and respectful. She just didn’t share the same interests. There seems to be something broken in Shimmer. Some shell that keeps her from empathizing with others, even a little. I hope we’ll see more of her history even after this comic, as she can be a wonderful foil for Twilight.

@MLP-Silver-Quill  
If anything, it gives more reason why Celestia tells Twilight “Go make friends” - as to avoid becoming too selfish and vain, even if Twilight had Equestria’s best interests in mind.

While Sunset doesn’t appear to have a lot of depth, it’s good to see her having a breakdown moment in front of Celestia. I’m more excited about this fleshing out Celestia, whose existence has been focused around Twilight thus far.
 
I’m also burnt out on all this talk about “earning” a princess title. At the end of the day, the princesses we’ve seen thus far just delegate the adventure to “common” ponies. I don’t see the big appeal.

>talking about cliches
 
Have we been watching the same show? It’s been this way since day one.

@Robomorons  
yes, both are cliches.

@Background Pony
 
I still don’t buy it. I will leave my comment at that as the Twilicorn/Twilight Alicorn thing has been discussed to death and I do want to spare the others in chat what has already been repeated, as nauseam mind you.

@RIG  
At least it would be a slightly better one.

@FIG  
And the official version isn’t?

@Krek  
coughclichecough

@Super Writer  
Looks more like she’s trying to stop him from beating her lights out for flinging a book at the princess.

So Celestia’s the royal guard’s body guard now? I’m not the only one who noticed that, right?

Seems like the comic book writes are also capable of fucking up from time to time.

This almost reminds me of an OC villain I came up with named Eclipse. However, she was actually LUNA’S student and her hunger for power led to her becoming a dragon named Umbra.

@Bullet Surge  
Exactly my point.
 
If I were to write Sunset’s character, I probably would have written her as a pony similar to Twilight, constantly trying to win the approval of Celestia and proving her worth, but going about it the wrong way.

So Sunset was power hungry form the beginning, huh? So much for this comic elaborating more on her character.

I think I would have preferred Sunset being somewhat likable to begin with and have her descent into darkness, instead of having her bitchy and evil from the get-go.
