I think the movie did a good job with that part, of making Twilight's reaction there understandable, while at the same time making it clear she was in the wrong. I mean, her character tends to freak out whenever stressful situations come up, and not only that, she's got it in her head that she has to do it alone - that she can no longer trust her friends to help her out - because of the situations with Capper and Rainbow Dash's rainboom. Just look at the face she makes after she looks around the cargo hold while the Mane Six are hiding from Tempest and the Storm Guards - that's a textbook "My friends are useless" face, and it's driven home even further with the very next line, "I've got this!" which of course is an ironic echo of the first song's refrain of "We've got this together!" It helps to drive home how, because of her stress, as well as the mistakes that were made along the way (because her friends certainly aren't blameless in the whole affair), Twilight loses faith in her friends and does what she does, and when confronted about it, she snaps because of her mounting frustration towards her friends.
