I remember watching that Interview, and I'm surprised that, alot of people still think that the "Becoming a Alicorn" was someone elses idea, and Faust had no intention of having that happen. Sure, maybe she thought of that idea would happen would be at the series finale or a different approach to becoming a Alicorn and a Leader. But yea, again I'm surprised that people still claim that the "Becoming a Princess" idea was from Hasbro and/or the writers that is currently in the show staff now.
