With the show there’s often nothing intrinsic about Twilight that makes her suited towards that particular plot, where as comic Twilight is much more willing to pull out “I can fire lasers from my head, your argument is invalid”.
 
This is true. The comic writers definitely prefer the Twilight’s Kingdom “badass warrior princess” version of Twilight. I don’t. The way I’ve always seen it, nearly two whole seasons had passed before we ever saw Twilight shoot a laser from her head. And she was a really good character in those two seasons, and wasn’t improved once she showed off that ability.

Except Twilight does have flaws
 
Read again. Flaws that have any actual impact.@Nightweaver20xx  
@Spinny
Twilight doesn’t really have the personality of a badass anything. She’s an awkward, bookish nerd and that’s the way she should be. That’s also the way that most of us like her to be.
 
Ehhhh. The book worm thing can get pretty annoying too when the writers use it too much. And they have

Because main character can never be wrong or have flaws that actually impact anything long term
 
No one can have flaws that impact things long term. MLP is still to a major extent a episodic show, so any issues have to be introduced and wrapped up in the course of that episode.
 
I don’t see how it’s any more true of Twilight than anyone else.

GOKAAAAI... SILVER!
…And the YayPonies “Scootaloo Definitive HVEC” release of Daring Done STILL isn’t out yet…
 
What gives? You guys said late releases like this wasn’t the norm, but since I started using them it’s been nothing BUT the norm…

…Oh hey, just checked my usual Dailymotion source, and it’s still there.
 
I don’t feel like watching it right now though.
 
Still, it’s WEIRD that YayPonies uploads have been so slos…

Normal is overrated
Oh, they definitely do. Like, she may as well be a damn goddess in the comics. Take this gem, for instance:
Here’s Twilight, showing that she has the ability to take away the magic of other unicorns because of course she does. Oh, and it should be mentioned that she only knew about these unicorns and their nefarious deeds at all because she cast a spell and learned crucial plot details, because she can apparently do that, too.
I’m not really sure the adventure arcs have much to do with it, because even in non-adventure stories, they still normally portray Twilight as better than everyone. The Ponyville Civil War issue instantly comes to mind. And, yeah, we usually see Twilight as the level-headed voice of reason in the show, but in this particular instance, the whole of Ponyville delved into such ridiculous insanity that it’s so much more annoying that none of them were capable of coming to their senses on their own.
 
What issue is this from?

Just from looking at this panel, it looks like a really bad Fanfic. How exactly can Twilight take away a unicorn’s magic, let alone three?

Because she’s Twilight, that’s why. The same pony who has no problem justifying one person’s evil, yet has both the power, and apparently, the authority to strip magic away from other unicorns for their own evil deeds.

It kinda is a really bad fanfic to be honest. Everything about it was so oddly written and over the top, I ended up really enjoying it just for how different it was.
