I will now talk about the argument that Twilight's transformation makes no sense or in other words was not hinted at in the series. All of these accomplishments in season 3, prove that there was no need for some desperate ploy to get back fans or to hold their interest so the "jumping the shark" argument does not make much sense. In addition, season 3 gave fans many things that they wanted to happen in the show such as the return of Trixie and Discord, a Scootaloo episode, an Appleack song, etc. I'm pretty sure this wasn't the case, in fact, season 3 has some of the highest rated episodes in the series (check out imbd). For Twilight becoming an alicorn to be a "jumping the shark" move, it would mean that the show was losing its fan base. According to the definition, "jumping the shark" means something was done by the writers as a DESPERATE attempt to keep viewers interest. ![]() So again I'm not saying that this is the truth, but I'm hoping that it may help people to understand Twilight's change and feel more comfortable with it.įirst of all, I'm going to dispel the argument of "jumping the shark". This is however, what I saw and if I was a writer how I would justify this change in Twilight. ![]() Note: This is my analysis and I am not saying that this exactly what the writers wanted us to see. I've read many articles stating the Twilight becoming a princess and alicorn is a "jumping the shark" move (a particular scene, episode, or aspect of a show in which the writers use some type of "gimmick" in a desperate attempt to keep viewers' interest.) and other articles saying that having her transform makes no sense.
