@night pony...I couldn't say that love and friendship are opposites. Friendship is a form of love. But it is an interesting idea. If we say twilight represents selfless love for friends/family Ethos and Cadence is the embodiment of Eros, which is the somewhat more intense, I love you as I love myself connection between lovers and spouses.
In that respect Cadence is the pony of dark, Since Eros needs an infusion of agape or enduring love to not warp into something perverse. Shining armor might be Agape(?) and the way him and Cadence work together makes them very pure and strong.
Ethos is the basic love any relationship is based off of and its friendship in its purest form, It's even to go so far as to selflessly love your enemies so since twilight is the embodiment of the magic of friendship she has to be the pony of light.
philosophy in ponies...gotta love it

I said Alicorns are made leaders, but I've never said only Alicorns could be leader. What makes sense if Alicorns are rare and unique. There are less Alicorns than countries and empires to be ruled.
Do you have anything to support those claims?

I think the show is trying to make it pretty clear, even if still not a fact, that Alicorns are rare, unique and special. Well, at least they were until the end of the season four premier.
Or they were giving emphasis that she grew as a character and such rather than sprouting wings. The rest is just your opinion and headcannon.

The reaction of the ponies or the lack of one towards alicorns disproves your theory. If they are such why are they treating her like a normal pony? => Alicorns are not so unique and rare as we claim them to be.

Plus Cadence is also recent alicorn and Twilight should not be needed to be made as an example.

But if they didn't need another princess then her entire coronation was just for show and completely pointless. Why make a new princess when it's not needed? Is she a backup? A spare tire that is to be used only when one of the main ones blow out?

She shouldn't need to ask. Celestia should've ordered the restoration rather than telling Twilight to restore the castle.
Didn't she in Equestria girls got used to her new title and role of a leader? Then the question is why did she accept the princess status if she wasn't going to use it and doesn't like it? Because her teacher wanted it? She could've easily refused to become a princess and continue her life as it was.

Becoming a leader isn't about what you would like to do but what you need to do. Maybe Twilight prefers to do things on her own but it would be best for the entire country if she focused on more important tasks and not cleaning rubble.

Now we need a Princess Twilight episode and a Pinkie Pie episode.
OBJECTION! {present->evidence-> S4 opener}
if that doesn't qualify as a Twilight episode, I don't know what does.

Pony in the shadows - can't believe how many theories people throw about.Spoiler: showI thought it was pretty obvious that it's Starswirl the Bearded, still alive via time spells or some other magic.
Also, theories/speculation I have based on Meghan McCarthy's tweets:Spoiler: showShe mentioned a character will make their singing debut this season. Also that they nearly broke Tabitha St Germain who was doing some crazy voice work for Rarity and "others." A lot of fuss about the best musical sequence they've ever done. And she seems pretty excited about the finale.
In conclusion, I'm hoping Luna will sing a song or two, probably in the finale. Maybe a duet with Celestia. Would be pretty awesome.
I just hope 'Tia and Luna don't leave the show yet, since we've had no real exploration of their characters. But I have this sinking feeling they'll ascend to a higher plane of existence, or get absorbed back into the Tree of Harmony trading their own power in exchange for the contents of the box or something, leaving Twilight in charge of Equestria.
Hope that doesn't happen.
Although everyone seems to assume it would be twilight who takes over if Celestia and Luna disappeared, but I think it would most likely be cadence who takes over, as she is older and more experienced! Twilight only took charge in the season opener because Cadence was away in the the crystal empire.
