Growing Pains

So Twilight has been the same size as the average pony from season 1 all the way through season 4, even after she became a princess, but at the start of season 5, I noticed she was slightly taller and more slender then her friends. If this continues until she is proportional to the average Alicorn Princess, I wonder how that will change the dynamic of the group. If the writers do continue her growth, I'm guessing she will be full size by the end of season 6. I also wonder if she will take a more or less Mom Roll towards her friends which would seem a little strange but that's how it would appear to someone not so familiar with the show much like the relationship between Celestia and Twilight... Now that I'm giving it enough though to post a topic about it, I don't think I like where this is headed... We need to create a petition to keep Twileys size the same, cause this could be the start of a spiral to disinterest... translated to television lingo, Death of the show! Not Good! I'm going to sit on this for a while to see if anyone else has the same concern or not. please let me know if anyone else is on board.

good that's what I was shooting for... now let's watch to see who is truly concerned.

There's nothing to be concerned about? Why would growth change the character? You make it sound like the moment Twilight hits the pinnacle of her growth she'll be a completely different character. Personally, I don't think I've even noticed any significant growth changes on any one in the show. But, if growth really is being shown in this show, I think it's a good thing as it's a natural thing. What's the big problem?

let me just put it this way... Would the show have been better if Celestia was part of the mane six from the start?

Dunno, it's an unanswerable question. You'd have to see the series with Celestia as part of the mane 6 to know the answer. Hasbro would have written the story differently to what it would be now. So it probably wouldn't be as bad. But I really don't know.

I could have sworn she was always just a fraction taller than the rest of the Mane 6 but that was most probably my imagination. Still, does it really even matter if she gets taller? She is still the same old Twilight.

I guess I just think too deep into things and then worry about them cause I honestly thought it was reason for worry... I look at any potential threat to the things that  love and try to prevent them. Maybe I'm just a weirdo...

I personally think you're imagining things.  I don't think she has changed size at all.  If she has changed a minute amount, it's probably just the animators slowly evolving and updating the way the draw the ponies, like any animated show.  If you look at any character from any animated show, and compare S1 to later seasons, they look a bit different.  Less so these days, since it's not hand drawn.  But I highly doubt they would have her start growing and look like Celestia.

I do know what you mean about animated shows difference between season 1 and (usually) every other season but that is more or less the artists hitting their stride where Twilights growth is intentional... but like you said I could just be imagining it.

I have noticed that Twilight is a little bigger than she was originally. And her posture is a bit more "regal", I guess. But I don't think she will grow any bigger than she is now and definitely not as big as Celestia.

I did notice that she looked taller and her horn looked longer at the start of season 5. But then I went back and looked at season 4 and her horn was longer there as well. I don't know why it looks more noticeable now. Maybe the animators did change her ever so slightly.

 

I don't think she is meant to grow as large as the other alicorns. She'll probably just stay the same size she is now.

Maybe that's it!  She just started standing up straighter as her confidence grew.  She's taller than she looked because she hunched.  Like Peter Parker.
