Muffins 3 February 21, 2013 Share February 21, 2013 As many of you guys already seen twilight already became an alicorn and alot of us are raging but we aren't sure about any new episodes... should we trust the writers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalliongrad 982 February 21, 2013 Share February 21, 2013 The writers themselves have acknowledged that the idea was pushed onto them by Hasbro. There was nothing they could do to change it. That's almost indisputable now. ~Signature Awesomely Made By Frozen Mint~ http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/crimson-star-r1439 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyCryptid 4,330 February 21, 2013 Share February 21, 2013 The writers themselves have acknowledged that the idea was pushed onto them by Hasbro. There was nothing they could do to change it. That's almost indisputable now. I'd like to see proof of that, I've seen several Tweets from the staff stating the exact opposite, and it's been forshadowed since at least the beginning of the season, maybe even longer. "You know, I don't know who or what you are Methos, and I know you don't want to hear this, but you did teach me something. You taught me that Life's about change, about learning to accept who you are, good or bad. And I thank you for that." -Duncan McLeod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loona 287 February 21, 2013 Share February 21, 2013 Apparently Lauren Faust originally planned for Twilight to become Celestia's successor. And Tara Strong said Twilight is staying in Ponyville. So yes, I'm trusting the writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks 10,816 February 21, 2013 Share February 21, 2013 I trust the writers all the way, it is Hasbro that I don't trust. So long as Hasbro lets the writers do their jobs everything will be fine, hopefully the polarizing response to this has made Hasbro realize that it is the writers who should actually write the episodes. 3 Rarity Get's Cockroaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalliongrad 982 February 21, 2013 Share February 21, 2013 I'd like to see proof of that, I've seen several Tweets from the staff stating the exact opposite, and it's been forshadowed since at least the beginning of the season, maybe even longer. Aside from Derpy which I'm told now has been reversed (still not concrete) the rest was entirely accurate. People were quick to say this was only a rumor. The staff now tweet almost every day about things not being true. Its not really a surprise because who ever leaked this was certainly on the inside. I think the show's writer's are clever enough to write Alicorn Twilight out of the show or at least make her interesting. Apparently Lauren Faust originally planned for Twilight to become Celestia's successor. And Tara Strong said Twilight is staying in Ponyville. So yes, I'm trusting the writers. Lauren Faust planned for only two alicorns in the show Celestia and Luna. The last bit of development work she had on the show involved Cadence. When she developed Cadence she was not intended to be an Alicorn. That only happened after she left because Hasbro changed Cadence into an Alicorn the same way they are doing Twilight. I think the show's writers are very good at what they do but I highly doubt that it was always -their- intention to make Twilight an alicorn. ~Signature Awesomely Made By Frozen Mint~ http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/crimson-star-r1439 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowl 128 February 21, 2013 Share February 21, 2013 Do I blame the writers for making Twilight an alicorn no. That would be like blaming a pilot for crashing a plane after all of the engines burst into flames. It's someones fault, but they are doing the best they can to cope with other people bad decisions. We can only hope that they manage to land the plane safely (this time and many times in the future). And to all things comes an end. We are no more than pages in a book. Turn the page, and thousands die. And for what? For the greed of two powerful leaders. Turn the page and floods, earthquakes and volcanoes are destroying the world. It is a time for acts of despair and of bravery as well. Another turn of the page and countless refugees flee. Is this the end of the story? No. There are countless pages to turn. And to all things comes a beginning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatrixChicken 879 February 21, 2013 Share February 21, 2013 The writers themselves have acknowledged that the idea was pushed onto them by Hasbro. There was nothing they could do to change it. That's almost indisputable now. Oh my goodness, nothing could be farther from the truth. Like Shoboni up there, I have seen tweets from M. A. Larson (he wrote the finale) saying that the idea people have of Hasbro being an evil overlord and forcing things on the show just wasn't true. Could you link me to some proof of your statement? 1 Deviantart: MatrixChicken | Youtube: ThunderFilmStudios | Twitter: @JohnAlBerge Twitch.tv: ThunderFilms | Soundcloud: ScootriX Scootaloo vector by robzombiefan2121 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177 February 21, 2013 Share February 21, 2013 * Face Hoof times 1000 * WHAT is WRONG with Twilight being an ALICORN?? Its like you guys think the series is DEAD because of it. I think it just opens new doors to adventures never before accessible. And its not like she changes her personality or place of residence.... in fact the only MAJOR change is that she has WINGZ.... She drank a Red-Bull. And then theres the "Shes a princess now" thing,...... Who cares?... Really.... HAVE AN OPEN MIND PEOPLE. Rant OVER 2 My peep is against bullying....

Spartan 433 February 21, 2013 Share February 21, 2013 Wait and see.. is what you should be focused on. Just because Twilight is an Alicorn, doesn't mean its the end of the world. That will happen when my first child is born Anywho, Did anyone else notice how rarity says 'Twilight you're an Alicorn!' when NO ONE else in the entire series even mentions Alicorns at all.. its like, 'oh im gonna mention this, but no one else even says it at all!' Anywho, if Derpy Hooves is coming back than AWESOME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkflame 3,310 February 21, 2013 Share February 21, 2013 I'd like to see proof of that, I've seen several Tweets from the staff stating the exact opposite, and it's been forshadowed since at least the beginning of the season, maybe even longer.I'd like to see these tweets suggesting that Alicorn Twilight was the writers' idea and not Hasbro's, because that's completely counter to the way things are usually run. For a franchise like MLP, toys dictate the show, not the other way around. Sig by Thunderstorm Check out my Rarity fansite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavelColt 22,880 February 21, 2013 Share February 21, 2013 This topic doesn't really have a whole lot to bring to the table, it's like a snapshot of the issue as a whole. If you look at the very forum this topic is in, you'll find an assortment of twilicorn topics. I feel this topic in of itself could be a blog or status update, and that most of the discussion could actually be done in other threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
