I'm really getting tired of people bitching about this. It's Hasbro's show, they've been building up to this since the beginning, and you're not entitled to anything.

Celestia chose Twilight to be her protegee because of her incredible magical ability. Do you think she did that for shits and giggles?
Although I’m worried about how bronies will react if Twilight does go alicorn. I can just picture thousands of them sending angry emails to Hasbro and starting petitions to “change twiloight back”, fans tend to forget that they don’t control the show, it could end very badly.
