That's exactly what I think about 'em. I've been a zealous fan of alicorn world-destroying abilities for a long time, and I'd like to be one now, but after noticing everything you just listed, I eventually came to a conclusion that they are just overrated by fans. I wouldn't even be surprised if princesses suddenly turned out to be like 3 regular unicorns with their magic. Of course it does not sum up when we look at Tirek's vs Twilight's power level, but what in this show really sums up in this aspect? I'm under heavy impression that ponies' magical and other power changes constantly

I hope he's just a random pegasus. No need for Rainbow's parents at all.

Want some magic cake? <3

What objective lore do we have to say that Celestia and Luna are the most powerful beings ever? What do we know: -Before them, a bunch of regular unicorns did the day/night stuff, -They were not able to defeat villains without the Elements, which are kinda cheating, -And I can't think of anything else right now. It's late okay. Celestia most probably lost big part of her power due to exhausting work of lifting both sun and moon for thousand years. She lost to Chrysalis after all duh. I'm not saying the Royal Sisters are not extremely powerful. Or maybe I am, but let's assume that I'm not for now. I just put two unicorns in the top with'em. Starlight Glimmer did some impressing stuff after all, and her potential power, as well as knowledge, is huge. The same goes to Sunset, but here we're maybe a little more presumming. Sunset was Celestia's personal student for a long time, was putting an awful lot of work into learning magic, and (but I don't know if it's objective enough for you) was powerful enough to become a princess if not for her arrogance, which stopped Celestia from making her one. By the way, I can't understand why you are so aggresive towards my statement that it's my and your opinion. You nearly jumped at my throat because I wanted to ensure everyone that my reasoning is not definitive and canon.

Can't you just leave MLP in peace and let us have something to take a break from living our sad, dark lives? Go watch Hannibal or somethin if you want.

Considering that this show's not about pony arena fights, you are too confident and eager to fight. While I do agree that alicorns are generally much more powerful than unicorns, I say that extraordinary unicorns can be born with enormous raw magic potential and thus are potential alicorndom ascendants with proper training. And just as I said in my post, this is my personal opinion (and I'm not willing to change it), that is your personal opinion (I guess you neither) and the best we can do is to dream about writers deciding that there should be an episode where Sunset Shimmer/Starlight Glimmer/Celestia/Luna/Twilight Sparkle/Rarity/Lyra Heartstrings/Derpy straight up destroys [choose one]. Besides, if alicorns are the most powerful beings, why didn't you include Twilight/Cadance/MacFlurry as legit competitors? Maybe their alicorn power is yet to be shown and they will beat up Celestia hm? P.S. I trusted in Celestia and Luna's destroying worlds abilities too, but after they got beat up by clouds in The Crystalling (I know that these clouds couldn't be stopped but they were just flying around doing pew pew, instead of some breath-taking boom, shield or something) I decided to believe the second theory, that they are not that powerful as they seem.

I guess by dying pony sound you mean *squeek*

@@Lordav, where are these beauties from? I devoured whole derpibooru and google search back in the day, but I don't remember seeing them.

Being a fan of MLP as much as I am, I wouldn't dare to skip an episode, but this "new writer thing" is really worrying, and the preview's not filling me with too much hope too.

@@Lordav, this is too much, stahp it! Now I'm dead

I cringed so hard watching this. Ugh.

Which Sunset do you think is cuter, human or pony? Of course it's pony

The first thing everyone should realize first, is that we basically talk about headcanons, because the show gives us really vague information about ponies' actual power. That being said, I would choose 5 ponies to compete in that matter: Celestia, Luna, Starlight, Twilight and Sunset. If we believe (and I believe) that Royal Sisters are some kind of demigoddesses, that puts them in this squad. And even being Luna fan, I have to notice that Celestia is slightly more powerful in terms of common magic, and not dream thingie. I like to put it like this: Celestia = 100% Luna = 90% Nightmare Moon = 110% Twilight got her cutie mark for magic, represents an Element of Magic, and spends most of her life studying magic. Additionally, she became an alicorn greatly enhancing her skills. Everyone knows that the book horse is magic horse, so that's why I put her here. Compared to her we have Starlight, who brings a lot of chaos into this organized mix. We could say she's more powerful than Twilight because book horse could not stop her, but because we're talking about personal interpretations mostly (as I mentioned), I will say she's not more powerful. When she used Starswirl's spell to time travel, she merely worked on a ready base which was given by Starswirl and then by Twilight. And, Twilight couldn't stop her because it's harder than most people think to stop someone if he has already started and is determined not to stop. Twilight probably could stop Starlight only using damaging magic to defeat her, and that's not what we want to show. But, I still value Starlight as really slightly less powerful or even Twilight's equal. Why is Sunset here oh my god, she's horrible and blah blah. Actually, we do know that Sunset was Celestia's personal student just as Twilight, and that means a lot. We do know she has huuge magic potential and was also well trained. She didn't do things like Starlight, but this argument is mostly invalid because these deeds are not defining somepony's magic power, but what opportunities he had, and simply what was his individual story. I do think that Sunset probably has more power than Twilight, but she never actually got to know the power of friendship and harmony, basically drowning in her arrogance. That does not make her raw magic potential any lesser though. So, my (highly personal) view on this matter is: I don't really know, but I do know that all 5 ponies I mentioned are on the god tier list. If I had to, I'd go with: 1.Celestia (100%) 2. Actually Sunset Shimmer (95%) 3. Twilight and Luna with a draw (90%) 4 Starlight (85% or 90%, not sure) Trixie's just a simple trickster, not a true mage you fanboy.

Dude, get somepony not out of your league

Man it's so legit I can't take it!

@@Mesme Rize, I don't think there was much of an argument about Sunset vs Starlight besides that one or two posts, this topic is supposed to be about Sunset's appearance in future movie after all.

She does NOT have to leave EG. Why did Twilight go to human world in the second movie? Because there was a threat and human mane 5 plus Sunset needed her help. The best possible scenario would be for Sunset to decide to return to Equestria, help ponies deal with a HUGE danger, interact with Celestia (I'm so all over this) and return to human world because she realizes it became her home and humans need her. Aaaand it's done.
