So… Princess Twilight Sparkle 2.0?

I just realized what’s wrong with this preview.
 
You know how in Game of Thrones you get the big exciting finale on episode nine of a season and then the tenth episode is kind of an exposition and wrap up one that teases the next season?
 
This scene feels like an episode ten of game of thrones. Instead of going into a new season with something new and interesting, we’re instead tying up loose ends from last season’s finale.
 
I’m desperately hoping that “All Bottled Up” has more to it than the synopsis and it’ll lead to an exciting new hook for the season.

@Sunset’s Minion  
No it doesn’t :P

The Hate must flow…

@Jman14102  
Hate never changes. Look at the world nowadays.

@Jman14102  
again, hate never ends

Okay so….
 
Between the twitter trailer and the facebook trailer, I have conflicted feelings.
 
On one hand, there are way too many Starlight Glimmer-centric themes in this to feel comfortable with, cause the amount of premiers and finales they’ve wasted on her character is unreal. The only positive out of that onwards is more Trixie by association.
 
On the other hand, the scenario seems to be a perfect setup for how she’s hastily being moved to temporary main character to side-character status, and out of the lime light, due to no longer being Twilight’s apprentice. I’m perfectly fine with her one the sidelines because that still means more opportunity for more Trixie. Starlight’s pattern of creating more problems for herself and others where there weren’t ones originally is just as apparent here as it was before and….
 
….let’s be honest, this whole teaching scenario between Twilight and Starlight has basically been the blind leading the blind.
 
On the other OTHER hand, if they make Starlight an alicorn princess at the end of this episode, I’m going to have a cow.

There’s nothing douchey about giving valid criticisms. The professional writers that still work on MLP know what is well written and what is slapped on, the majority of us aren’t going to offend them with us being honest. And nothing in any show or series would ever change or improve if everyone pretended terrible stuff was actually good.
 
So for people saying ‘stop the Starlight hate’…why? Its just words, lots of words from lots of people. If people were hating on characters that sucked in the past, but not anymore, then those people would be the un-reasonable critics. If they sucked in the past but never really improved, then, there’s not much to be considered unreasonable. Criticisms abound.

@Alexlayer  
well you could always go the douchey route and complain to Big Jim like everyone else does but why whine when no one’s gonna listen anyway

@Jman14102  

 
It’ll stop when she stops being so terribly written.

@Jman14102  
I don’t get that non-argument when developments of sorts are still being attempted.

@Jman14102  

Can we just stop with the Starlight hate, please? For fuck’s sake this hate got old ages ago,

@ChuymaruZ  
I mean I always liked her character, If there’s anything I disliked at introduction was Flurry Heart and that was only because she was an alicorn automatically without having to prove herself like every one else… unfair if you ask me.
 
Later on season 6 starlight end up pairing with my favourite Trixie so I got to like her even more, now their pair is the most meaningful one for me in the show.
 
I don’t mean in any way “absolute numbers” I never said every one likes or dislikes, just that she has as much approval as disapproval it would seem

@ChuymaruZ  
m8
 
people like her =/= everybody likes her
 

@Princess Trixie vi Equestria  

 
you mean, her introduction as a villain? yeah, everybody liked her

@Princess Trixie vi Equestria  
So I’ve heard. Alot.
 
And good for them.

You there are fans who actually really like starlight since her introduction xP

Yes… Good… Let the hatred flow trough you.

Maybe Starlight’s just stressed about the Starlight drama (meta)

@Alexlayer  
We should be so lucky.

@Alexlayer  

@Alexlayer  
Even Twilight don’t know what it means. It’s entire premise of season opener. (But don’t worry, ‘Mane 6 is away, SG is here’ thing will be a thing, at least in the second episode)

I so hope this “Graduating as Twilight’s Student” means that we can finally be done with her. I swear, good riddance…
