Except it IS a thing. Sorry, I should've said magic. IT is literally the most powerful magic in Equestria hands down, as stated in the Tirek arc. The only people that seem to be able to stand up against it are beings like Tirek and Discord, and Sombra has a major power boost from the Crystal Heart.

So, we'll simply have to agree to disagree on that. I'm not saying that Twilight would instantly be in control or have access to ALL of the Alicorn magic at her disposal, I'm just saying she's already a stronger opponent over all, and that adding in Starlight as an opponent who somehow has more raw magical potential than Twilight ever did, makes me hate her so much. It's lazy writing, not to mention bad, and makes her an evil carbon copy of Twilight.

So much of the rest of the series has been about Twilight being extremely unusual, almost unique among unicorns, and now we have Starlight AND Sunset who rival her in magic? Sunset was enough.

Cadence is basically cupid, so not quite in the sense of being in the sun or moon incarnate, but since she's the spirit of love, I would think so. It's not yet been canonically stated, but then she's only shown up to fight Chrysalis, and again in the Tirek arc, it was implied that Tirek would be extremely powerful if he even got one of the Alicorn's magic, let alone all four of them.

Yeah, but yet apparently Celestia and Luna are too busy jacking around with whatever that they let the Mane 6 save Equestria constantly. (This is another problem I have with the show. After Nightmare Moon and Discord...Uh....Why doesn't CELESTIA do something? Why are you entrusting the fate of your world to six ponies?) Other notes; Why couldn't Trixie have taken Starlight's place in the main cast? We already had her as a rival, as a not great, but not completely awful or irredeemable unicorn, and she could've rounded out the whole group, and there are already people who like her, and she's an established character.

While not mentioned in my original commentary, I also felt the resolution with Starlight was very forced. No, I'm sorry. She tried to literally DESTROY THE WORLD in the sense of petty revenge all over and you're all just going to forgive her? For real? No. I absolutely hate resolutions like this for many reasons, but this and the fact that TWILIGHT couldn't solve the spell when its been stated several times in the series that her talent is magic and she's a giant nerd...somehow she couldn't alter it....ughhhhh.
