Actually, I think that the reaction will be stronger. Why?

Twilicorn was heavily spoiled in advance. Most reactors knew that it was coming. This had its own comedic value; the faked over-the-top actions were quite funny.

However, in this case, Hasbro did an excellent job of keeping the cutie marks and when it would happen ultra-top-secret. Most of us felt that it was going to happen but weren't sure when. So, the surprise will be genuine as will other feelings. I think that a lot of Bronies are invested in the Crusaders, their tragedies and their triumphs so seeing this finally happen probably will affect them all deeply.
