When it comes to the destiny bit, here are my thoughts on it:

== I will say this - with regards to the destiny bit, the earning vs destiny, I have to say is one of the best arguments against this change that I've heard...Indeed, Twilight is not really going to have much of a choice in the matter when she changes -- if Destiny made it so she would change into an Alicorn, then, well, to hell with her feelings....she really has no choice but to adapt and move on whether she likes it or not -- their could be, from her point of view, many good things that come with being an Alicorn....and the idea that she may have been earning this all along may somewhat smooth things out....but again, when you think about it, it seems rigged -- because while it may seem nice to learn you received this awesome present without deliberately trying to get it, I imagine it would make you feel funny, because flat-out, what if you don't want it -- what if you yourself don't feel you deserve it? This isn't just getting something you may not have wanted because you didn't consciously know you were working toward it, but the thing itself (becoming an Alicorn) is a life-changing thing that she can't really turn down and has a host of bad-things to go along with the good...

If she were consciously aware of it, had chosen this path well aware of the good and bad that comes with it, that's fine....but to get this "gift" that she can't refuse, that she wasn't even working for, which is a life-changing decision for her (and for everyone else in Equestria for that matter)....it all seems grossly unfair and rigged -- even if she loves it from the spot, it still doesn't change that this is something that shouldn't have been thrusted in front of her and she's just supposed to love it and get over it, no questions asked.

I am looking forward to this, I genuinely am...but disliking this change because of the distasteful explanation of this being Twilight's destiny, is a strong argument that I can't really disagree with.
