Except they shoved in so much into the last episode that it almost felt like they didn't even try. If they want to imply that things have changed since Twilight took over, fair enough. While I'm on the subject, why did Twilight move to Ponyville in the first place back in the premiere? I know that it's to learn about friendship, but moving back to Canterlot almost feels like a spit in the face, and she only gets to see the rest of the Mane Six once a moon, almost as if the writers were making the entire series pointless! I know I kind of sound like that pony from Fame and Misfortune saying Twilight's "character" would've been more interesting if she'd stayed in Canterlot, but that's literally what this episode is implying! Oh, and her new design just looks laughably bad.Īnd then there's the time skip.
So Twilight taking over for the royal sisters makes no sense at all. Firstly, why would one princess take over for two? And secondly, why can't Twilight have her own kingdom to rule over? Cadance is ruling the Crystal Empire alongside Shining Armor, and they have a daughter who will one day take over for them when she grows up. As the season progressed, I starting thinking that this was a stupid idea from the get go, even if it was Lauren Faust's intention when she was in charge of the show. But where do I begin with the problems I have?Īs we've known from the beginning of the season, Twilight was going to take over for Celestia and Luna in ruling Equestria. Literally the first thing I said after watching it was, "that's it?" I'm not even joking.
