OKAY
I hated alicorn Twilight. The whole concept blew my head-cannon to shit. but the more I thought about it and removed myself from it I came to like it more and more.
Now I personally LOVE the idea.
Not because she is getting an upgrade, not because it fits my head cannon (nonononono my beautiful head-cannon) but because of what it implies for those who the show is actually targeted to.
5 year-old girls.

Twilight is ascending to the throne because she has mastered the elements of harmony, she is loyal, kind, honest, joyful, and generous and because of this she gets to be a PRINCESS :nuu:
Every little girls wants to be a princess. :dummy:
So, to them, if they are kind, loyal, honest, joyful and generous THEY GET TO BE A PRINCESS :la:

This will mean that you don't have to be born into princessness, you can BECOME a princess. It takes a lot of work and the help of your friends but eventually they can get there.
So girls (and some lose boys) will realize roles in life aren't set from the beginning, they can achieve whatever the hell they want, and climb as high as they want, even becoming a princess. :happybounce:

And I realize, this show is meant to teach kids life lessons and not service my head-cannon so all the power to the writers for keeping the show centered on that.

TL;DR:
Twilight is becoming an alicorn to teach an important lesson to little girls and boys while highlighting the issues our own brony community holds. Don't like it? Tolerate and love the idea because that's what Twilight would want you to do.

Keep Strong and Brony on.

I understand why some people are upset about the whole "age" thing. Celestia and Luna may have lived for over 1000 years, but they are NOT IMMORTAL. The whole immortal thing is just fan speculation. Speculation has almost NEVER been proven right. I'm a huge fan of One Piece, for example, and fans speculate a large amount of things, but in the end are NEVER proven right. All that's been said is that they have lived over 1000 years, and those two, especially Celestia, are meant to be mysterious anyway. Okay, Twilight is an Alicorn Princess now, and even though Luna and Celestia are as well, and Cadence, I understand what people connect that to, but it's just not true. There's a reason why we shouldn't listen to fans. Fans tend to jump to conclusions and get upset over the smallest of things. Trust me, I've heard fans of many different series say all this wild stuff, and almost none of it is ever true.

Other than that, I almost 100% agree with you!

my main thoughts are on what the hell the show will do since this feels like a potential series finale.

Yus! Many people are throwing a fit about it, some even being "done" with ponies like :iconblackout-comix: which is totally.. ridiculous :/ You shouldn't let one little thing in a tv show disrupt your passion. I guess some people just can't handle change to the point that even if it's in a show it bothers them? *shrugs* Iunno! It just bugs me that so many people are making a big deal about it :c I hope some of the other great pony artists don't fall under this crybabying and can see what the show is really about. It's about friendship and love, not Twilight the unicorn. I'd hate to see a great artists like :iconwhitedove-creations: go for such a silly reason :c

Ah, this makes me feel better. The reason I wasn't very happy about Alicorn Twilight is because I like her as a unicorn, and I didn't want her to become a princess because I guess she'd have to leave Ponyville or something. It also made me confused; if Twilight becomes a princess by writing her own magic.... does that mean that Celestia, Luna and Cadence weren't always alicorns? It makes me disappointed because I always thought that alicorns were some god-like type of pony... Even so, I guess that would make a pretty cool flashback episode. But hey, who knows? ;)
