I don't think it's unfair to whine about this episode but to me, it broke Alicorns. I know I'm harping on about it, and people can disagree, that's fine, but:

Earth ponies cannot really become Alicorns because Alicorns are not part Earth pony.

Pegasi becoming Alicorns makes no sense either now. because only "wings" can be gifted and not horns.

Celestia and Luna's backstory is a bit muddled now because they "can't remember" their origins. What? Wasn't there a whole tribe of Alicorns mentioned? You'd think Celestia and Luna would remember becoming Alicorns or being Alicorns from the start. They can't have been born Alicorns because Flurry Heart is the first baby Alicorn, and they can't have become them when they were little because they don't remember nor did they do anything as babies to earn Alicorn status.
