“As a princess working towards Celestia’s expectations. A level of status and expectations she CONSTANTLY regretted and felt uncomfortable in.”
That’s a pretty bold face lie you added there. In season 4, Twilight expressed some discomfort towards her new role but part of that is that she didn’t know what to do. In season 5 she fully embraced her role as a princess and what she wanted to be and do as a princess. It had nothing to do with Celestia either. Celestia didn’t even come up most of the time.
“The very idea of becoming princess would of never come across Twilight’s mind had Celestia not made her a princess. This is obvious to everyone.”
Nobody expects to become a princess. Especially one that changes you into one of the most powerful versions of your species. It never would have come up because Twilight would never even known it was an option. Plus Twilight had no ambition from the start beyond learning. Twilight never would have made friends either if Celestia didn’t push her into it. That’s Twilight’s character - she stays static without a push from outside forces.
And Twilight has a predisposition towards leadership as we see most poignantly in Winter Wrap Up and as we see through the series, she constantly leads her friends. She always assumes a leadership role. Oh and hyperdependency? As the series progresses, Twilight grows more independent. That’s a big part of her character arc.
By the way, there’s something to be said for leaders who show strong leadership skills but don’t desire to rule. Some seek greatness, some have it thrust upon them.
And the idea wasn’t that Twilight needed to be a princess to open a school, but that her decision to do so and her ability to do so was independent of Celestia. You are purposefully boxing Twilight into a dependency role with Celestia with that single statement. Also, being a princess did grant her authority to override Neighsay.
And the meeting with Celestia with Starlight is because Celestia is her personal mentor and role model. That isn’t hyperdependency, that’s basic nature. And the last time things went a little awry with Celestia and Luna, Luna turned evil and got banished to the moon for a thousand years; everyone should be a bit worried about that.
And Sci-Twi has no special relationship with Celestia. Even if you put Unicorn Twilight in the movie, she would have made the same mistakes. Unicorn Twilight would have been worse in fact. Trying to act like Sci-Twi and Unicorn Twilight are the same character is complete folly anyway - Sci-Twi grew up in a terrible school environment with a dog who could not talk that crippled a great deal of her self confidence and started pushing her to amoral territory. Unicorn Twilight was someone who grew up with a personal mentor and role model that gave her confidence and a talking dragon to help her. At no point is Sci-Twi the same as Unicorn Twilight or Princess Twilight.
And the rest of your explanation is utter bull because those things were a problem with regular Twilight as well. You are just projecting moments that happened while she a princess and ignoring Twilight’s many problematic characterizations from the first three seasons.
