@snowlynx no, citing anime as an example doesn't show what you mean. The problem here is her princesshood and becoming an alicorn is the culmination of all of her successes and growth over three seasons. MLP being a girl's show with princesses, where princesses are pretty much the best thing in the world you can be, kinda telegraphed this bit. Season 2 technically made Twi a princess through her brother's marriage, but the real point there was exalting another princess and creating more interest in princesses in the show. Season 3 premiere hints at Twilight being far more important with ambiguous hinting/foreshadowing/whatever you call it. Finally, in s3ep13, Twilight comes across a problem so overwhelming she has to create new magic to save her friends. Creating new magic allowed her to finally see the whole picture, and learn where her path was taking her, whereas Twilight normally couldn't see the forest for the trees due to her lessons and saving the world all the time.
