SpoilerWhen I watched the movie the first time, I thought Twilight's attitude towards her friends came out of nowhere, but watching it a second time . . . it has a build-up that is present and surprisingly subtle for a kid's movie.Basically, as they are running scared--her friends keep messing things up by acting like they're still in Equestria and not realizing how grim and dangerous the situation is. 1. Pinkie Pie totally blows their cover in the mishmash town (sorry, I don't remember its name) where they meet Capper. Twilight tells her that they need to be more subtle, but not in an angry fashion. Because Pinkie is her friend.2. All the ponies completely fall for Capper's literal song and dance routine ( ) except Twilight, who is eyeing him suspiciously the whole way through the song. Still, she goes along with the rest of the group. Because they are her friends.3. They are on the pirate ship, they've allied themselves with the pirates, and things are finally looking up. Then Rainbow Dash gets over-excited and performs a Sonic Rainboom that leads the bad guys RIGHT TO THEM.4. Twilight also ends up literally saving everyone (well except the pegasi ) after they fall out of the airship, by using a plan she concocted ON HER OWN to build a makeshift balloon, using only HER OWN magic. So from Twilight's perspective--she loves her friends, but on this escapade her friends have continually messed up and endangered them, whereas a plan Twilight enacted by herself (the balloon) saved them. So I think it's understandable that by the time she meets the sea ponies she's like, "Okay, fine, my friends can go off and dance and be happy. I am going to Make The Hard Choices and Get Things Done."I mean, it was still a bad decision, but I can understand how she got there, lol.The argument with Pinkie Pie was exacerbated by Twilight having all these pent-up emotions about the previous debacles, due to biting her tongue earlier.Of course this is traumatic for Pinkie Pie, because from her perspective Twilight is suddenly lying, stealing, and shouting hurtful things, plus Twilight has (ironically) completely screwed up their chances at getting the pearl. I gotta be honest, I actually did shed some tears during that scene, it was really tense and really well done.
And does anyone have a pic of Target's exclusive DVD set with stickers and an activity book?

Honestly I was a bit underwhelmed but maybe I just need to remind myself that activity books for children arent made to occupy adults

I gotta be honest, I actually did shed some tears during that scene, it was really tense and really well done.I agree that it made sense for Twilight. It also nicely led into Tempest telling Twilight that she is better off alone. Without the previous incidents Twilight wouldn't have been able to fully understand Tempest's POV.I really do think critics have been too harsh on this movie, both in and outside fandom.
