For those panicking over the spoilers, you obviously haven't read the original Entertainment Weekly article. Megan hinted that new seasons (and this episode as well, probably) may have SIGNIFIGANT world building in regards to princess, alicorns, and what exactly they do. Apparently alicornism/princesshood is given to the brightest of the bunch so they can guard and protect Equestria.

(From the EW article: "Those challenges will include living up to that lofty new title. In MLP‘s Equestria, “princess” is a designation that’s earned, not freely given — and though princesses have specific leadership roles in pony society, being one really means “being a good pony who shares the gifts that they have been given with others,” according to McCarthy. “We’re building a very unique mythology around being a princess,” she continues. “Every little girl wants to be a princess, and not everybody can get to be a princess — but you can live up to the ideals that should come along with being a princess.”)

Just IMAGINE the possibilities in not only regards to Twilight's character, but a possible redemption for Cadance's very existence, our longed-for Celestia episode, more goddamn LUNA, maybe even a bigger role for DISCORD! If this was planned from the start, then it could actually be a brilliant move to not only cater toys to younger children but to also provide us with the information we've been craving about the great wide world of Equestria, its history, and its society. In addition, there could be so many wonderful morals that go along with a newfound Princess Twilight, and for once she could be the one teaching them. The student must one day become the teacher, as they say.

So stop your whining and instead rejoice. I for one welcome our new alicorn overlord with open arms, though I do hope being Princess of Golden Oaks is a good enough title for her. Celestia doesn't seem willing to bequeth the title of Regent of the Sun to anypony else anytime soon.
