will twilight sparkle be like Celestia? nerfed?

[Evil Pink One 13,505]

I have a feeling she won't be OP  in gen 5....

Assuming she is alive in the first place

[Northern Star 1,023]

Well the toy seems to lean it one way...

Probably, but I’m expecting there will be a good justification for it, like her being long passed

I wonder if Sunny is OP now when she is an alicorn? They kinda promoted her after .... how long was the movie now?

 

As for Twilight, if she returns, and she isn't just some spirit ghost thing who can't interact with the world, then.... did Twilight even have power to begin with? Her lasers were like half as strong as Starlight Glimmer's? Wasn't she already nerfed in G4?

[Misty Shadow 7,731]

Twilight already did not fight much or use her magic powers offensively that much in the show, so I don't see why her being nerfed would be an issue, granted she wouldn't just come back Star Wars force ghost style. Even if she was some kind of Dragon Ball style god, I do not think she'd want to flaunt her powers much, focusing on teaching Sunny what needs to be passed down before she returns to her realm beyond.

....... starlight fight. season 9 ending. 

tirekfight?... not counted.

Ursa minor.

trixie part 2 fight. 

Sombra second fight.

discord.

[Sonic Shimmer 4,131]

She’ll just be a troll like Celestia, never helping them fight the big villain and then saying she was testing them.

[Orchid_Fiore 199]

I don't want another Celestia (what a plain character Luna is better), I hope this dynamic changes in the new series.

[Goat-kun 2,527]

That is a rhetorical question 

[SergioFernandez 33]

It's Probably, if she is powerful and can solve everything. So the mane 5 have no reason to be there, and they would not connect with the audience.

I’m sure it’ll be in lines of what you wrote. A spirit or whatever preventing her to directly be involved, but nevertheless help the Mane 5. Just like the original Optimus Prime and Megatron did in Beast Wars

[Prospekt 11,015]

If Twilight were to appear, honestly I can't see it being much different from the projection of her that the Tree of Harmony used in FIM. Like a Force Ghost from Star Wars, providing guidance but never fighting. Might not even be the real Twilight... or it could be, but she'd hold back because she knows Sunny and co. won't grow if she defeats enemies for them.

G5 seems to be distancing itself so much from the Mane 6 (while remaining in the same universe) that there's no need for excessive interference by either living or ghostly G4 characters.

[ExplosionMare 18,060]

I hope that Twilight and the rest of the Mane 6 remain as historical memories and don't get directly involved in G5. I would hate to see any part of their character get ruined if they were to carry over to the next gen. Not only that, but it's time for those characters to rest.

If it was for the official merch, we also would have had at least 3 more alicorns in G4 and didn't happen either and we also had Sunny's dad depicted alive in the blindbag advent calender despite being depicted to play after the movie, yet he is still gone.
