She didn’t apologize (on screen) to all the citizens whose property was damaged by the altered parasprites, or to the citizens affected by the “Want It Need It” spell, to name two examples.
If we alter the definition of Mary Sue to someone who dodges the consequences of her actions so easily to everyone except the audiance and Discord, then Alicorn Twilight would be a Mary Sue.
She wasn’t a Mary Sue before even with her high magic cause she could still be given deserved criticism. But in S4, she has Karma Houdini Plot Armor. There are many times she deserves criticism from either herself or her friends, but they just glance right over it. I don’t even a scene where Twilight apologizes to Fluttershy for turning her into a vampire. I can’t think of a single reason Twilight Sparkle before MMC wouldn’t.

So, if it weren’t for Discord shutting her down in “Princess Twilight Sparkle”, the eponymous character would have effortlessly overcome the problem?
You call something a Mary Sue when they can over come any problem presented to them without any trouble or effort, completely shutting down any potential for character growth or plot development within the confines of the story.
Put simply, if a character is flawless, they’re a Mary Sue… The worst kind of flaw. Diamond Tiara is a problem in and of herself and has waaaaay too much room for character development to be a Mary Sue. As it stands, Twilight, having ‘mastered friendship’ when she became an alicorn, would have been a Mary Sue… Thankfully, Discord is best Mary Sue shutdown and Twilight ends up flailing her hooves helplessly whenever he’s around…
And no, Discord is not a Mary Sue for the same reason as Tiara. He causes too many problems and rarely fixes anything.

No one’s arguing that she’s not a bitch. Even what little fans she has won’t deny that. But you can’t call a character a Mary Sue just because you don’t like them. That’s what the Anti-Twilicorn people do to Twilight.
@RainbowDashie41
Wait, what?
A. How is Diamond Tiara, of any character on the show, a Mary Sue?
B. How come you get so butthurt when anyone calls Twilight a Mary sue, but you consider ok for you to call other characters Mary Sues?

Thanks!
That’s the flash version at the source, this is a .gif version that is too large to incorporate the rest of the animation.
Where is that version?
Just because we didn’t see it happen, doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen.

I know, it’s just a dumb thought.
Since when is that a thing?
No pony on the show has it only on one side.
Maybe her cutie mark is only on one flank?

As BP#1115 said, Twilight got her mark when spike was born.
Then why is Spike here? She got her mark when Spike was born.
She’s a filly here. She doesn’t have one yet.

It broke the GIF maker or the resulting GIF is too large.
THIS. RIGHT HERE. WHY DOESN’T THE IMAGE HERE HAVE IT?
okay
Personal dislike doesn’t make one a Mary Sue. It’s based on OPness.
