My Take on Twilicorn

I'm compiling and editing this from a couple posts I made on another forum's Pony thread, and it's brief.

I've never followed the actual show (I'm a fan of the fanwork), so until recently, the only thing I knew about the Season 3 Finale was that it induced table-flipping rage in some people and denial of its existence in others. Now I know why.
Hasbro and the production team have set themselves a huge challenge, and are taking a huge risk. There are plenty of very good Twilicorn fanfics out there, but one thing they all agree on is that it's a massively disruptive event. This is the end of the show as we know it, and only time will tell if what follows will measure up to its predecessor.
I've got doubts (slowly fading, but still very much present) that Hasbro will give the FiM team the freedom necessary to correctly handle this situation. Twilight's exaltation should raise an enormous number of status-quo-altering issues. What are her new rights and responsibilities? How is her own magic affected? What's the impact on the political sphere? What about the broader magical ecology? Pony government, how does it work? The list goes on and on. (I'm sure a couple of these were answered, or at least acknowledged, in the episode, which I still haven't seen. That doesn't make the remainder any less urgent.)
I don't mind such things not completely taking over the show, but I'm worried that Hasbro might stifle them entirely, either because Status Quo is God or because they're allegedly beyond the scope of the target audience's interest. (And I'm not worried for the sake of fanwank or rage. I couldn't care less about the show directly. I'm just concerned that, if handled poorly, Twilicorn could drive creative people out of the fandom.)

...OK, maybe it isn't so brief.
