DivineMist1000 71,360 September 11, 2018 Author Share September 11, 2018 18 minutes ago, Hocus Pocus said: Unicorn. Her character was simply not written to be that of an alicorn, and despite what others say, her character has changed dramatically to fit this change. To be fair, these changes are to redefine her character as being appropriate for her new role as a teacher and leader rather than her previous role as a student; however, it was sudden, jarring, and made a character that was already a bit of a mary sue ("Your element is strongest and rarest, Twilight.") completely jump the shark with her role as a special snowflake main character princess wizard heroine super saiyan god super saiyan. Twilight went-even-further-BEYOND!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacodidra 61,198 September 12, 2018 Share September 12, 2018 I don't really have a preference. She's still the same pony! Though I found her a little more relatable early in the series when she still had more to learn about friendship, that doesn't really have much to do with whether she has wings or not. And a lot of the later episodes would have been different without her becoming an alicorn – I can't really imagine "Twilight's Kingdom" (my favorite episode) with unicorn Twilight, for example. 3 Signature by @Sparklefan1234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbertha 414 September 13, 2018 Share September 13, 2018 I prefer unicorn Twilight. The alicorn change did only bad things for her. Not only was it pointless since "Once Upon a Zeppelin" is the only episode that has taken advantage of Twilight being a princess in a good way, but it also ruined Twilight's character. Twilight lost all of her snark and anger after season 3, so the show pushes her only flaw left, neurosis, up to 11. When she isn't freaking out, she's acting as a boring voice of reason. There are exceptions like "Three's a Crowd" and "No Second Prances", but those are a vast minority. Alicorn Twilight feels more idealistic while unicorn Twilight felt more realistic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucasB 196 September 14, 2018 Share September 14, 2018 Am I the only one that prefers Alicorn Twilight? She starts to have more responsibilities and become more involved in resolving friendship/national problems. Makes the plot more interesting. We still get the slice of life and most of the time you can basically ignore the fact that she has wings because it doesn't really change who she is. She doesn't sit on her throne all day, she acts just like before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganondorf8 11,317 September 14, 2018 Share September 14, 2018 I prefer Twilight as an alicorn as her wings have become an extension of her character in both physical and mental capacities. She's also become much more mature--most of the time--since ascending to the role of princess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Midnight Madness 1,543 September 14, 2018 Share September 14, 2018 I like them both though I did like unicorn twilight a little better than Alicorn twilight. She acted a little different when she was just unicorn twilight. By @Fangirl Mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastellicKat 11 September 14, 2018 Share September 14, 2018 Twilight has definitely been one of my favorite ponies, from the beginning. I was very happy when she became an alicorn, because I feel like she deserved it!! She's always been that leader/mentor type in my eyes. I think I prefer alicorn or, "Princess" Twilight a lot more though, it gives her a more grown-up stature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EpicEnergy 23,218 September 15, 2020 Share September 15, 2020 I prefer alicorn Twily more than unicorn Twily, but Twily is still Twily and I love her regardless of whether she is a unicorn or alicorn! *totally not up to any shenanigans* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
