>>12712 >>12713 >this would be a lapse in judgement affecting the most intelligent pony in ponyville, amongst the most mature of her peers, lasting over a course of many hours. > So I don't think either maturity or desperation is sufficient to explain Twilight's lack of moral foresight. To be perfectly honest I think even from a writing perspective it was simply overlooked. It would detract nothing and add so much vital depth, in my estimation. Basically, it is small in yet big, in that a crack upon a glass that causes her freak out actions hear to be untenable to you from multiple angles. Twilight is too smart not realize this is wrong and yet Twilight doesn't seem to realize this is wrong. This may come up again a couple of more times this season I reckon. I think I will be referring back to here.
>I wouldn't say that we can even necessarily know for sure that she's more powerful even than say, Luna. She could potentially be weaker than Luna, bizarre as that might be to posit, I've had this thought as well recently. Luna seems to have a lot exotic powers and feats that seem more widely varied in her magic. This most recent episode casual weather manipulation (which may not count for much but a flair for he dramatic and could be just illusion magic) and shapeshifting (that is stupidly useful). I want to keep track of demonstrations of both her and Celestia to see how they stack up. I don't want to judge it in typical power leveling scale but more so in the implications for the world and universe kind of thing. For example,as I have brought up in the past, we do see stars fly over to the moon and aid in Luna's escape; does Luna have command over stars and the night sky? What does that mean? Does she control other star systems? I go with the idea of classical stars (as in, the Sun not being thought of as the same thing as a star, the star being some point light in the sky). Or her patroling of the dream realm, does she rule this realm? Is she a goddess of sorts over it? That sort of thing.
>with writing in particular I find them extremely pointless on a fairly simple basis: you can pretty easily predict exactly what they'll say and how they're going to say it. I will note I was thinking more in the style of it having it point out and correct basic spelling and grammar errors over alternating and cleaning up large chucks of texts, but even here, I do have somewhat of an aversion to it of loss of humanity. It's not just the errors, but the outsourcing of some much of self that the self ceases to be.
